Electrolux Turned to Someone Else
Hui Ye was at the boundary between the outer and middle regions of the Star Dou Great Forest.
He had killed nearly all the Blue Silver Grass in the outer region where he had been, so he had no choice but to move closer to the center.
Now that he had successfully completed his mission, Hui Ye planned to return to the village to see the villagers before heading to an academy for further study.
As for which academy, he was leaning toward the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
After all, Wolffy's fourth Soul Skill was Wolf Castle Technology, and the two were connected by countless threads.
As Hui Ye was thinking, he suddenly felt a powerful presence coming from afar.
Vast spiritual fluctuations swept over him like a sea. Hui Ye felt his head buzz, and the scene before his eyes shattered into fragments.
His first Soul Skill, Immortal Body, activated automatically, and a gray Soul Ring instantly circled his body.
He shook his head and came to his senses.
Based on the time, place, and people involved, Hui Ye immediately determined what was happening.
Clearly, this was the moment Tian Meng sacrificed himself to Huo Yuhao.
Hui Ye dared not be careless. He lay down on the ground and pretended to be unconscious.
Although Immortal Body could remove negative statuses, if Tian Meng noticed anything unusual about him, his million years of cultivation would allow him to kill Hui Ye countless times with ease.
"Forget it. I'll wait and see what happens."
Hui Ye lay motionless.
During the sacrifice just now, Tian Meng had noticed someone approaching from a thousand meters away. He had immediately released his spiritual power and knocked that person unconscious.
Only then did he relax and continue the sacrificial ritual.
At the very moment Tian Meng and Huo Yuhao fully merged,
A gray-gold sphere tore through the void and was about to slip into Huo Yuhao's body.
But he noticed a presence that transcended the rules a thousand meters away.
Without the slightest hesitation, the gray-gold sphere swiftly changed direction and sped toward it.
Tian Meng had just finished merging with Huo Yuhao when he couldn't help shivering.
That presence just now had been far too terrifying.
He could feel that the power that tore through space was enough to destroy everything.
If the other party had acted, even he, a dignified Hundred Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, would have been utterly unable to withstand that power.
Fortunately, the other party hadn't acted.
It seemed he had merely been drawn over by the commotion of Tian Meng's sacrifice and had taken a look in passing.
Having figured that out, Tian Meng danced a circle in his mind.
"Hehe, I did it."
Tian Meng woke Huo Yuhao and told him about his sacrifice.
Huo Yuhao sat there in a daze, utterly shocked.
"What did you say?"
"You, a dignified Hundred Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, willingly sacrificed yourself to me?"
Meanwhile.
The gray-gold sphere circled once above Hui Ye's head, confirming that the little boy before it was the one who had just emitted the presence that transcended the rules.
Without further hesitation, the gray-gold sphere swooped down and entered Hui Ye's forehead.
"With the sun and moon in my grasp, I pluck the stars; no one in this world is my equal!"
The next second, a booming voice rang out in Hui Ye's mind.
Hui Ye was so startled that he jumped to his feet.
Holy shit!
Is that...
Electrolux!
How did he get into my body?
Wasn't he supposed to be another one of Huo Yuhao's cheats?
Hui Ye hurriedly sent his spiritual power into his mind and found a gray-gold sphere floating asleep in its deepest recesses.
"Hello?"
There was no response.
Hui Ye: "..."
He doesn't even have enough energy left, yet he still had to show off just now.
Forget it.
What's done is done. One more cheat means one more path.
Nobody would complain about having too many cheats.
Anyway, Electrolux wouldn't get much help from Huo Yuhao, and he'd even be dragged down by him instead.
He came to the right person when he came looking for me.
There was only one way to awaken Electrolux again: use life energy to rouse him.
Gold of Life would work, but Hui Ye didn't have any.
That stuff was too expensive; he couldn't afford it.
But he had Soul Skills.
As long as he used the two Soul Skills Immortal Body and Infinite Stamina together,
He would be a walking source of life. When the time came, couldn't he just let Electrolux absorb as much of his life energy as he wanted?
At that thought, the corners of Hui Ye's mouth rose slightly.
"I'm so smart."
Huo Yuhao would just have to suffer for it.
Hui Ye's impression of Huo Yuhao was neither good nor bad.
His personality had been decent early on, but it had gradually changed for the worse in the middle and later stages, and his way of doing things had increasingly turned him into a Tang dog.
Still, he decided to give Huo Yuhao a hand. The kid was quite pitiful.
After all, he had stolen one of Huo Yuhao's opportunities.
Without Electrolux, Huo Yuhao's road ahead would be much harder.
If he could avoid stepping into the deep pit that was the Tang Sect, he should.
Tang San was a truly bizarre person.
Not only had he split his own daughter's soul into multiple parts and put a chastity lock on her, but he had also trained his son-in-law Huo Yuhao like a dog. He was utterly deranged.
Huo Yuhao was still young, a blank sheet of paper with plenty of room left for ink and paint.
Hui Ye hurried off, searching everywhere for Huo Yuhao.
A quarter of an hour later, Hui Ye arrived at the place where Huo Yuhao had appeared earlier.
But he was already gone.
All along the way, there were Soul Beasts that Tian Meng had knocked unconscious with his spiritual power.
"Forget it. Everyone has their own fate. If I didn't run into him, that's his fate too."
Hui Ye didn't intend to keep looking. The Star Dou Great Forest was too vast; finding Huo Yuhao would be like searching for a needle in the sea.
Hui Ye shook his head, turned around, and set off on the road back to the village.
It was getting late.
Huo Yuhao used Spiritual Detection and Spirit Shock in succession to catch several fat fish in the river.
He quickly cleaned the fish and set them over a fire to roast.
He sprinkled on his secret seasoning, and the aroma drifted through the forest and into the distance.
Huo Yuhao rubbed his hands together and was just about to eat.
Tang Ya came following the smell.
"Wow, that smells amazing."
Tang Ya rushed over to Huo Yuhao, staring fixedly at the roasted fish as her mouth watered.
"Little brother, did you roast these fish? They smell so good. Can I... can I have a bite? Just one!"
Seeing a stranger approach, Huo Yuhao instinctively reached for the White Tiger Dagger at his waist.
Seeing this, Bei Bei raised both hands and explained, "Don't be nervous, little brother. We mean no harm. My name is Bei Bei, and she's Tang Ya."
"That's right, that's right. We really don't mean any harm. We were just drawn over by the smell of your roasted fish. Can I try some? I can pay you for it."
Tang Ya leaned close to Huo Yuhao and gazed into his eyes expectantly.
Huo Yuhao had never encountered anything like this. Catching the faint fragrance on Tang Ya, he immediately turned red and began to stammer.
"No... no need to pay. Help yourselves. There are plenty of fish in the river; I'll just roast a few more."
Tang Ya glanced back at Bei Bei with a triumphant smile.
Seeing Tang Ya use a beauty trap, Bei Bei felt deeply jealous, but looking at her breathtakingly beautiful face, he could only smile helplessly.
Tang Ya sat down beside Huo Yuhao, devouring the roasted fish while asking about his background, Martial Soul, and other details.
"My Martial Soul is my eyes. It's a support type."
Huo Yuhao released his Soul Skill and briefly shared his Spiritual Detection ability.
Tang Ya was startled. The skill was so practical; it was a perfect match for Hidden Weapons.
After eating five roasted fish, Tang Ya let out a burp, and the dagger was revealed at the end of the scroll.
"Then...
Huo Yuhao.
Would you... like to join the Tang Sect?
Your Martial Soul is perfectly suited to the Tang Sect."
Tang Ya used her trump card again, fixing her beautiful eyes on Huo Yuhao.
Faced with the beautiful woman's offensive, Huo Yuhao was terribly nervous.
On top of that, his mother, Huo Yun'er, had often told him about the Tang Sect's glorious deeds on the Douluo Continent, and he was about to nod without thinking.
"I'd like-"
Just then, a voice rang out from deep in the dense forest behind him, cutting him off.
"Wait!"
