The Sharingan and the Fallen Heart Flame: Transmigrators Fight Over the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Star Dou Forest.

"Yuhao, the best first soul ring for your Spirit Eyes Martial Soul would come from a mental-type soul beast. Around four hundred years old would be ideal."

Tang Chuan spoke as they walked, his tone seemingly casual.

"Brother Tang, you know so much."

Huo Yuhao looked at him with admiration.

Heh. How could he not? He's probably memorized the whole plot by now.

The two were trading compliments while each harbored his own agenda when the bushes ahead suddenly rustled.

A baboon about a meter tall burst out, its yellow-brown fur bristling and its small brown eyes gleaming with malice.

The pinnacle of the Douluo Continent soul-beast world, the true Beast God, the one who had nearly slain a god... Lord Wind Baboon!

The Wind Baboon threw back its head and roared, ready to pounce.

But Tang Chuan could not even be bothered to look at him. He flicked his right hand.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several dark shapes shot from his hand like lightning and buried themselves squarely in the Wind Baboon's neck.

The ten-year Beast God, Wind Baboon, died on the spot!

Huo Yuhao stared at the cross-shaped throwing blades embedded in the Wind Baboon, his eyes flickering.

Shuriken?

"No need to be surprised. Just a little trick."

Tang Chuan smiled smugly.

The three walked on for a while longer. Suddenly, Huo Yuhao's eyes shifted ever so slightly.

Here he comes!

A vast, powerful surge of mental energy was racing toward them from deep underground.

Tang Chuan, walking in front, stopped at the very same moment.

He slowly turned his head. As he did, his eyes abruptly turned bloodred.

Three pitch-black tomoe spun within them, eerie and dangerous.

The Sharingan?!

That's his Martial Soul?

Huo Yuhao was shaken to the core, but he kept up his blank, unsuspecting expression.

The next instant, Tang Chuan's Sharingan met Huo Yuhao's and Tang Ya's eyes. An invisible ripple of mental energy spread outward.

Tang Ya's gaze went vacant. She did not even notice the chicken leg fall from her hand.

Huo Yuhao stood there just as blankly, his eyes unfocused, as though his soul had left his body.

It worked!

Tang Chuan was overjoyed. He could no longer contain himself.

He strode to the clearing ahead, sat cross-legged on the ground, and pushed his Sharingan to its limit.

He sent out wave after wave of energy from his mental-type Martial Soul, like a lighthouse in the dark, desperately trying to draw the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's attention.

Here on the outskirts of Star Dou Forest, there was only his foolish older sister and the Child of the Plane, whom he had caught in his Sharingan illusion. No one could threaten him.

But Tang Chuan failed to notice something.

The confusion in Huo Yuhao's eyes, as he stood there supposedly trapped in the illusion, was fading little by little.

So that's it!

A faint smile curved Huo Yuhao's lips.

No wonder I sensed something like my Spirit Eyes Martial Soul when I probed him earlier.

His Martial Soul is actually the Sharingan!

The Uchiha clan's Sharingan, that mighty Kekkei Genkai from Naruto, represented the pinnacle of illusion and perception!

The instant Tang Chuan had cast his illusion, Huo Yuhao's Divine Illumination Scripture had begun circulating almost on instinct.

In that state of profound meditative focus, his resistance to mental soul skills was absurdly high.

And after a year of hard training, his mental strength was not much weaker than Tang Chuan's to begin with.

The Sharingan illusion held him for less than three breaths before his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul broke free.

Huo Yuhao made no move, however. He played along, continuing to pretend he was under the illusion.

He remained where he was and quietly watched Tang Chuan's every move.

His gaze looked vacant, but he caught every tiny movement Tang Chuan made, his mind racing through the possibilities.

First, Tang Chuan's Martial Soul was the Sharingan—and a three-tomoe Sharingan at that.

If he also knew ninjutsu, he would be extremely dangerous in a fight.

A direct confrontation could easily end in an embarrassing defeat. Huo Yuhao needed to suppress the urge to hunt him for now.

Tang Chuan's goal, though, was obvious: claim the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux, those two incredible advantages, for himself!

He had used an illusion to control Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya precisely to clear the way.

All things considered, Tang Chuan was strong and cautious. He was in a different league from a half-baked amateur like Ye Beixuan.

Hunting him would be difficult, but the spoils would be that much sweeter if Huo Yuhao succeeded!

In that case, I'll let Tang Chuan play for a while!

Whoever wants the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm can take that hot potato!

After all, Huo Yuhao seemed to sense more than one source of mental energy within Star Dou Forest.

Meanwhile, deep in a dense woodland on the other side of Star Dou Forest.

A tall young man dressed in fitted black clothes sat cross-legged on the ground, a massive black ruler strapped to his back.

He extended his right hand. With a whoomph, a multicolored flame sprang up in his palm.

The flame trembled slightly, and a colorless, transparent flame separated from it.

The moment that transparent flame appeared, an immense surge of mental energy radiated from the young man in every direction.

"Fallen Heart Flame, go!"

The young man opened his eyes, a confident smile touching his lips.

"Bring the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to me!"

Deep underground, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who had been tunneling frantically, was dumbfounded.

His round body screeched to a halt in the soil. A giant question mark might as well have appeared over his head.

What's going on?

Mental energy on the left, and mental energy on the right?

Each stronger than the last, and coming from different directions?

Are mental-type soul masters holding a gathering today?

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's original plan, once he escaped Di Tian's clutches, had been to find a mental-type soul master in Star Dou Forest and grant him an incredible opportunity.

From then on, they would share life and death—and become gods together!

But now several "kindred spirits" had appeared at once. Which one should he choose?

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm thought long and hard, but reached no conclusion.

Tang Chuan, meanwhile, clearly sensed the other powerful surge of mental energy. His Sharingan narrowed.

"Hm? Someone else wants to compete with me?"

Tang Chuan snorted, a scornful smile curling his lips.

Then he reached into his clothes, took out a jade box he had prepared in advance, and opened it.

A plume of icy white mist rose from within.

Mysterious Ice Marrow!

It was not the rarest Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow from the Far North, but it was top-quality stuff all the same.

Tang Chuan had spent more than ten thousand Gold Soul Coins to get his hands on this piece of Mysterious Ice Marrow!

Sure enough, the instant the Mysterious Ice Marrow's aura spread outward.

Deep underground, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who had been wavering between his choices, perked right up!

That smell... Mysterious Ice Marrow!

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's little golden eyes went wide.

What sort of creature was he?

A soul beast from the Far North who had grown up eating Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow!

Aside from sleeping, his favorite pastime was lying in the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Cave and munching on the stuff!

As for that other surge of mental energy, it was strong, sure, but it carried a scorching heat.

Even from far away, it made an ice-attribute silkworm like him uncomfortable all over.

One kindred spirit came with "snacks." The other was a blazing-hot creepy uncle.

Was there even a choice?

"Little darling, here I come!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm twisted around and changed direction without hesitation, burrowing toward the Mysterious Ice Marrow with all his might.
