Luckily Rolled the Flame Emperor Template

Luckily Rolled the Flame Emperor Template

Damn it!!!

Being soul-transmigrated into Huo Yuhao was one thing, but why had he come to the Douluo Continent and still rolled such filthy trash as the Tang San Template?

"Could this also be That Lord's arrangement?"

Inside a woodshed at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, Huo Yuhao could not help but shudder, chills running down his spine.

Staring at the transparent panel before him, he could hardly believe his eyes. The greatest misfortune in life was surely having one's cheat system roll up the Tang San Template.

Name: Huo Yuhao

Martial Soul: Spirit Eyes

Cultivation: Level 10 Soul Power

Template: Tang San Template (Click to roll dice)

The template could be rolled ten times per day.

It had been nearly a year since Huo Yuhao had transmigrated. In his previous life, he had been a content creator in the Chinese animation community. While ranking the combat strength of fantasy protagonists across the internet, he had placed a certain Hydrogen God King in one-billionth place, only to somehow transmigrate to the Douluo Continent afterward.

When he first arrived, his mother, Huo Yun'er, had already passed away. He had personally felt that heartbreaking grief. Since then, while enduring the Duchess's periodic suppression, he had been cultivating and rolling the dice while planning his trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Over the past year, he had rolled more than three thousand times and obtained templates from all sorts of anime, historical, and fantasy characters.

Yet he had not rolled a single template belonging to anyone surnamed "Xiao, Ye, Shi, or Han."

They had all been minor nobodies who could not survive more than three episodes.

That alone would have been fine, but today he had actually rolled a template with the surname Tang. What the hell was this?

"This level of disgustingness has truly opened my eyes."

Huo Yuhao rubbed his brow, his head aching terribly. When Buddha Light had flashed across the panel earlier, he had thought he had finally rolled the template of some outstanding figure and had been full of anticipation.

However, once the Buddha Light faded—

His expectant gaze froze as the words "Tang San Template" appeared in the panel's slot.

"About how I transmigrated to Douluo and rolled the Tang San Template."

No!

He absolutely could not choose this template!

The mere sight of it made Huo Yuhao feel uncomfortable all over. After hurriedly muttering, "All evil, begone," he rolled again.

His mind focused on the dice roll.

The template changed.

Template: Grey Wolf Template (from Green Green Grassland)

Huo Yuhao froze. The image of a scar-faced wolf in a ragged hat flashed through his mind. It possessed tremendous wolfish charisma, and its strength was unfathomable. With a single declaration of "I love frying pans," it had forcefully dragged away an iron lump marked 1000t. Wouldn't that strength easily yank away Poseidon's Trident, which weighed 108,000 jin, or 54 tons?

Still, if possible, he would rather roll a human template.

Roll again!

Template: Lu Bu Template (from the late Eastern Han Dynasty)

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up slightly as he considered a possibility.

"If it's the mythological version of Lu Bu, there might be potential."

Unfortunately, after reading the panel's introduction for the Lu Bu Template, he discovered that it was not the mythological Lu Bu at all. It was merely the genuine historical Marquis Wen, Lu Bu.

Not quite suitable. Keep rolling!

Then Huo Yuhao rolled the Conan Template.

"Six."

Huo Yuhao was truly speechless. If he had transmigrated before his mother's death and rolled the Conan Template, he would have suspected the template's Grim Reaper physique had kicked in.

As for the so-called truth, was there only one? Did he not already know who had set the trap behind it all?

The next few character templates he rolled were all utterly pathetic, complete small fry. They were either setbacks that had been overcome or little villains destined to be slapped in the face.

"This luck is way too bad."

Huo Yuhao was not even expecting those T0 or T1 templates belonging to people whose bones had been dug out or whose lives hung by a thread.

Even a template for someone ordinary who had their engagement broken off, a fallen genius whose enemies loved to cackle sinisterly, would have been fine.

Or he could accept a template for someone extraordinarily cautious, who would not confront opponents head-on without a 98 percent chance of victory and always retreated behind everyone else.

Huo Yuhao felt rather depressed.

Only one opportunity to roll a template remained today. A thoughtful expression appeared on his youthful face.

"Could the Blue Silver Grass growing atop these walls be affecting my luck?"

He noticed the Blue Silver Grass on the woodshed's walls. Deciding to go all in, he fetched a ladder, climbed up, uprooted every blade of Blue Silver Grass from the wall, and tossed it into the stove to burn.

Shortly afterward, after eliminating the wall-top grass—

Huo Yuhao rubbed his hands together in eager anticipation.

Roll!

Golden light flashed, and the template changed!

Template: Flame Emperor Template (from The Great Ruler—Great Thousand World)

Joy flooded Huo Yuhao's eyes, and he was immediately delighted.

Good, good!!

There was no time to mourn the Sea God Tang San Template. The template taking the stage next was the master of the Endless Fire Territory in the Great Thousand World, the peak Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign, the Flame Emperor.

Compared to the templates he had rolled before, this Flame Emperor Template was nothing less than a golden legend.

After rolling for nearly a year, day after day, heaven had finally rewarded his perseverance!

It had allowed him to luckily roll the Flame Emperor Template.

This one counted as a senior veteran in the transmigration world.

The Flame Emperor might not rank especially high among fantasy protagonists in terms of combat strength, but dealing with Sea God Tang San would certainly be easy.

Moreover, Heavenly Flames were not afraid of Blue Silver Bind.

After more than three thousand rolls, Huo Yuhao was ready to stop.

He did not intend to keep gambling. If he missed this Flame Emperor Template and spent several more years without rolling a good one, Tang God King's domestication plan might have already been revised and upgraded through several versions.

"This is the template I choose!"

With a thought, Huo Yuhao locked in the template.

Congratulations on obtaining the inheritance template: Flame Emperor Template

Panel description: As the title says.

Inheritance recipient description: Use your head. What is there to introduce? You and the Flame Emperor are nine-to-one; the Flame Emperor throws one punch, and you go down to the underworld.

Keep it up, young man. Looking forward to the day you can go fifty-fifty with the Flame Emperor.

Heh, this description was rather interesting.

Compared with Huo Gua in the Original Work, who was clearly a Child of Destiny yet was domesticated into making a wedding dress for the dead-wife God King, Huo Yuhao had undoubtedly raised his future upper limit severalfold after obtaining the Flame Emperor Template.

The day he could use Buddha's Wrath Fire Lotus to bring nuclear peace to Buddha was finally in sight.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao felt wonderfully pleased.

Just as he was considering when to visit the Star Dou Great Forest and discuss ideals with the big bug, he suddenly heard a commotion from a nearby courtyard.

Huo Yuhao recognized one of the voices. It belonged to his younger brother, Dai Loli.

"Y-you, what are you trying to do?"

"The Duchess ordered that, to prevent you from becoming lax in cultivation, the boy in the woodshed is to be disciplined every three days, while you are to be disciplined every five days. Today is your turn."

"Didn't she say she would only hit us whenever she saw us? I've been hiding from her all day."

"No, no, no. The Duchess means that every time she sees you, you get disciplined one extra time. That has nothing to do with the small beating every five days."

Huo Yuhao arrived at the courtyard and looked up, only to see a tall, burly guard from the Duke's Mansion glaring viciously with an aggressive air.

The guard gripped a wooden club in his right hand, rhythmically slapping it against his left palm as he slowly approached Huo Yuhao's younger brother, Dai Loli.

At the same time, four options appeared before him.

Option One: Go over and explain the White Tiger Duke's Mansion rules to the guard: "A guard who defies his superiors may be beaten to death with rods." Reward upon completion: Fire Blowing Palm (Earth Tier Low)

Option Two: Turn around and leave. Reward upon completion: Flame Emperor's early-stage exclusive treatment (cultivation drops to Level 3 Soul Power, vow that the young shall not be despised for being poor)

Option Three: Go over, pull Dai Loli behind you, and tell the guard: "I'll take this beating for him." Reward upon completion: Flame Emperor's classic black robe.

Option Four: Slowly walk up to the guard, lean close to his ear, and softly say: "The White Tiger Duke has returned." Reward upon completion: Eight Extremities Collapse (Earth Tier High)

Huo Yuhao glanced over the four options.

Hmm... if he chose Option One and explained the rule about "defying superiors being punishable by beating to death," there was a high chance he would trigger the guard's berserk state and get violently beaten first.

Besides, its reward was inferior to Option Four's.

Option One was completely out of the question.

Option Two reduced his Soul Power to Level 3. Was that not a pure scam? Pass.

As for Option Three, it only rewarded a black robe with no practical use, so it was directly eliminated.

And taking a beating for someone else? Was he, the dignified—

Child of Destiny, Huo Gua, supposed to look like some huge sucker?

Huo Yuhao indignantly chose Option Four. Then, wearing a warm smile like that of the boy next door, he slowly walked toward the guard.

When the guard saw Huo Yuhao actually dare to approach him, the wooden club in his hand paused, and a strange look appeared on his face.

"Don't be in such a rush. It won't be your turn to be disciplined for another two days."

Huo Yuhao still wore a bashful smile as he spoke quietly.

"Guard uncle, I'll tell you a secret. I guarantee it'll make you jump in surprise."

"Huh? What did you say?" The guard looked baffled.

Huo Yuhao walked up to him, stood on tiptoe, and gently leaned close to his ear.

"The. White. Tiger. Duke. Has. Returned."

"What?!!"

The guard's expression changed drastically. He leaped back several steps in utter shock.

Then he bent slightly at the waist, lowered his head, clasped his hands in salute, and adopted an exceedingly fearful and respectful posture toward Huo Yuhao and Dai Loli.

If the White Tiger Duke had returned to the mansion and discovered Huo Yuhao's existence—

No matter how poor Huo Yuhao's talent was, he was still the White Tiger Duke's biological son. His identity as the Duke's son was genuine, not something a mere guard could casually offend.

If the White Tiger Duke discovered that he was beating his biological sons, and alternating between beating both sons at that—

He did not dare imagine his fate. It would undoubtedly be miserable. He would most likely be smashed into pulp with a single slap on the spot.

By then, the brothers had already left the courtyard. Dai Loli was surprised and curious. What sort of whispered words could possess such intimidating power that the guard's attitude had changed so drastically?

"Brother, what did you say to him just now? You scared him into submission instantly."

"Nothing much. I just told him some good news: the White Tiger Duke is coming back."

"Really? If Father returns, they won't dare bully us anymore." Dai Loli beamed, already imagining the two of them finally standing tall and shouting, "Evil servants, speak!"

Huo Yuhao looked at him, deliberated for several seconds, then slowly spoke.

"Fake. I guessed."

"...All right." Although Dai Loli was somewhat disappointed, he felt that this threat was indeed powerful and considered himself to have learned something.

Seeing that he understood, Huo Yuhao patted him on the shoulder.

"You're already a somewhat capable Soul Scholar now. You need to learn how to face some difficulties independently."

With that, Huo Yuhao turned around.

He headed toward the northern back gate of the Duke's Mansion, where Huo Gua had run away from home in the Original Work. He was going to walk his own path, a little cheat-powered path... at least compared with the Flame Emperor Template.

Dai Loli watched his carefree departing figure, his heart filled with confusion for a moment.

Was this a farewell to their life of depending on others?

Huo Yuhao did not know Dai Loli's thoughts. At that moment, a message that lifted his spirits appeared on the panel before him.

Option Quest completed. Reward: Eight Extremities Collapse (Earth Tier High)

"Nice. The mechanics of battle techniques are inherently above Soul Skills. Self-Created Soul Skills barely even touch the edge."

"On the way to discuss ideals with the big bug, I can practice Eight Extremities Collapse in advance. Then I won't be like Huo Gua in the Original Work and allow a Wind Baboon to achieve the shocking feat of 'almost slaying a god.'"

Lost in thought, Huo Yuhao walked out of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

In the God Realm, amid swirling clouds and mist, stood an entirely azure palace.

Sea God Tang San, dressed in a luxurious blue robe, took out a volume he had written with wisdom far surpassing that of all other gods. Its cover bore the title:

"On How to Perfectly Domesticate a Child of Destiny"

Tang San's expression was exceptionally solemn. After pondering for a moment, it turned into a righteous smile.

"This new star's fortune has risen dramatically today. It seems this God King's plans are utterly correct, following the will of heaven. Everything is for the God Realm's better development. All signs indicate that this child's fate with my Tang Family has grown even deeper."

"However, with such a change appearing, I wonder whether the original plan to 'split the soul into two parts' is stable enough."

"For now, the Star Dou Great Forest remains within the plan. If a major change occurs then, another portion of the soul can be split off. Development in the ocean should also be considered."

Tang San revealed another sinister smile and opened the encrypted plan book through the combined divine power of the Sea God and Asura God. On its title page were written:

To seize the authority to have the sole say in the God Realm, this God King still requires the aid of a capable general. This new star in the lower realm is a fine choice. A few small schemes will bring him under my control, helping fulfill this God King's Ten-Thousand-Year Grand Plan and granting this child a fortunate opportunity.

Step One: Through the hands of the Duchess of this generation, "guide" the Child of Destiny's mother's soul into the God Realm, using hatred to drive the Child of Destiny's growth. (Completed √)

Step Two: Join the Tang Sect and enter Shrek Academy...

Step Three: Have Xiao Qi disguise herself as a man, meet him, and form a bond...

"What a perfect plan. If this God King were not a law enforcer of the God Realm and had to set an example by not personally interfering in matters of the lower realm, why would Xiao Qi need to suffer such injustice?"

Tang San flipped through the series of meticulous plans. The corner of his mouth curled crookedly as he admired his own exquisite arrangements and world-shaking wisdom.

Outside the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

"Hmm, Douluo's air has quite a high hydrogen content."

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath. Perhaps because he had rolled the Flame Emperor Template today, he was in a good mood and felt that the sunlight was especially bright.

He took out a pair of glasses and put them on, slightly concealing his bright, spirited eyes.

He turned back to look at the magnificent palace with its golden roof and red gates. The golden glazed tiles gleamed dazzlingly in the sunlight.

He felt the original owner's long-cherished wish buried deep in his heart.

The fierce will to become a great Soul Master, and the unwavering resolve to avenge his mother.

"Don't worry. With the luck the two of us have, becoming gods is a sure thing. I'll definitely avenge Mother for us."

It was not just the Duke's Mansion, but even more so that icy-pure Tang Buddha Ancestor.

Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes behind his glasses, then withdrew his gaze, slung his pack over his back, and stepped onto the main road.

At the same time, four options appeared before his eyes.

Option One: Endure humiliation in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and bide your time. Completion reward: a genuine handwritten copy by the Flame Emperor of "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never look down on a poor young man."

Option Two: Head north and search for your missing biological father. Completion reward: the Flame Emperor's exclusive ancient black ring.

Note: Only the ring will be provided; Yao Lao's soul will not.

Option Three: Return to the mansion, grovel before the Duchess, and pledge your loyalty. Completion reward: Combat Skill: Suction Palm—Incomplete Version (Earth Tier Low; can be cultivated to two fingers—the Rich Woman Happy Finger version.)

Option Four: Staying at the Duke's Mansion brings nothing but harm. Decisively leave home and seek great opportunities. Completion reward: determined by the scale of the opportunity. The bolder the opportunity, the greater the reward.
