"I'm... I'm sorry, I was just curious." Huo Yuhao decided to admit his mistake and escape for now. This wasn't the time to confront Tang San.

However, this grudge must be avenged!

"Curious? Just because of curiosity, you can use spiritual power to probe others at will, and even target the three of us from over three hundred meters away." Tang San said calmly, "There's a clear purpose behind it. Ignoring others and focusing only on us three. What's so special about us?"

"Um, well, you guys are attractive." Huo Yuhao came up with a lame excuse.

"Is that so? But just now, I felt that most of your spiritual power was on me, and I was even facing away from you at the time." Tang San squinted his eyes, "If you didn't have some peculiar hobby, then you must know me. Now, your eyes also tell me that you know me. But there aren't many people who know me."

Huo Yuhao swallowed hard, thinking to himself, "I have a dream, I have a dream, I've made it onto this guy's 'to kill' list! I need to think of a way out!"

Dou Ertianmeng said, "Your current strength absolutely can't compete with him head-on. According to the novels you read in your past life, the opponent is at least a Soul Elder, and he also has the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record and Tang Sect hidden weapons. Killing you would be simple for him."

Dou Yitianmeng, however, had a different idea: "Perhaps we two can combine our spiritual powers and see if we can shatter his brain? Although his spiritual power is just one step away from Spiritual Domain according to the mental realm settings in the novels you've read, and he also has the ability to use his spiritual power like the Purple Demon Eye, but we're both million-year soul beasts. The combination of our spiritual powers is not weaker than his."

Huo Yuhao also made a suggestion: "Makes sense. It's clear that he's underestimated me. If we catch him off guard, we might succeed."

In an instant, the two bugs and one person had agreed on a plan. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao put on a pleasing smile, took a step back, and then quickly ran away.

This was his plan: to escape first and appear weak in front of the enemy.

Surely Tang San would want to find out the truth and wouldn't immediately kill him. When he caught up, whether he tried to catch him from behind or leap in front of him, Huo Yuhao would be ready to react.

After all, both Dou Yitianmeng and Dou Ertianmeng were in his mental sea and could help him with an all-round assault!

"Brother, that guy ran away," Xiao Wu exclaimed, but seeing Tang San calm, she understood that no matter how fast the guy ran, he wouldn't be able to escape.

But why did that kid emit a familiar icy aura?

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm?

Seeing Huo Yuhao run about fifty meters away, Tang San said to the two girls, "Let's go. He's entered the nearby forest. There's no one there."

The three of them chased after him.

But in just one step, they covered a hundred meters.

Guang Ling leaped onto the treetop, her Sunmoon Divine Bow appearing, shining with the first soul ring's radiance. The arrows condensed with crimson-gold energy, and the blades on the sides of the bow emitted crimson-gold energy as well, attached to both sides of the arrow.

Swish—

The arrow shot out, and the energy blades on both sides cut through the trees directly, aiming straight for Huo Yuhao's head.

"It seems they want to kill you directly!"

Dou Ertianmeng was shocked. Seeing the highly penetrating and cutting arrow, he realized that Huo Yuhao couldn't dodge it, so he hastily controlled his body, turned around, and burst out with spiritual and ice energy to block and even destroy the arrow.

At the same time, the blue-silver emperor vines carrying the combined spiritual and ice energy surged towards Guang Ling's forehead.

If it hit, even with Guang Ling's Soul Ancestor strength, he would be severely injured if not dead.

At the critical moment, Guang Ling was pulled away by a blue-silver emperor, dodging the fatal blow.

"Thank you, Brother," Guang Ling nodded, realizing Huo Yuhao's strength at the same time. As a second-rank Soul Master with only white soul rings, he was able to break through his first soul skill.

Not to be underestimated.

Through that attack, Xiao Wu confirmed Huo Yuhao's identity—Tianmeng Ice Silkworm of a million years! He actually became human?

No!

It should be a sacrifice, becoming the person's soul ring. With the spiritual power and soul of a million years, maintaining the integrity of the soul isn't an unthinkable thing.

But why does he have two soul rings?

Xiao Wu had a premonition: both of those soul rings were from the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. Could it be that when a million-year soul beast sacrifices itself to a human, it can independently condense multiple soul rings for the human?

Swoosh!

At this moment, as Huo Yuhao ran, numerous blue-silver emperor vines sprouted from the ground, entwining around his limbs and body, and sealing his eyes.

"Damn it!" Huo Yuhao struggled, but to no avail.

"Brother, I'm coming!" x2

Dou Yitianmeng and Dou Ertianmeng used their ice energy to break the blue-silver emperor vines binding Huo Yuhao's limbs, freezing them into ice, and then shattered them with a touch.

Although the blue-silver grass had a strong immunity to low temperatures, facing two million-year soul beasts, it couldn't endure for long.

However, the endless grass field was rooted deep in the earth, and the power was constantly flowing. The blue-silver emperor vines were naturally inexhaustible.

Dou Yitianmeng probed with his spiritual power and exclaimed, "This soul skill won't work. These blue-silver grasses absorb the energy of the whole land, with roots penetrating about five hundred meters deep into the ground, covering an area of over a kilometer. This thing can be considered as a tangible domain. Although we are million-year soul beasts, we can't match the power of the entire Douluo Continent."

Dou Ertianmeng also found it unbelievable, "Is this the power of Tang the Great? Compared to Huo Yuhao, this guy is the true son of destiny. No, he's the son of the earth of Douluo Continent!"

The two bugs, who had read Douluo Dalu and Douluo Dalu II novels in Huo Yuhao's brain, now understood why the original Huo Yuhao had been trained like a dog.

Huo Yuhao was at best a son of destiny of an era, while the current Tang San, with the blue-silver emperor being able to absorb the power of the earth, was the eternal son of the earth.

As long as Tang San didn't die, the Douluo Continent would always stand by his side.

Through this endless grassland, the two Tianmeng Ice Silkworms saw more.

Tang San's blue-silver emperor absorbed the power of the earth, and the roots also absorbed the soil, making the land more solid. The blue-silver emperor's leaves also instinctively absorbed light, automatically condensing some basic material that could increase the concentration of energy in the Douluo Continent's environment.

This wasn't plundering the earth's power but a mutually beneficial process.

Tang San was definitely favored by the will of the plane!

He was treated like a "favorite son"!

Moreover, according to the two bugs' investigation, Tang San's body was not like that of an ordinary human. The intensity of his blood and energy, under their spiritual observation, was like a vast sea of blood, fiery and surging, fully capable of engaging in physical combat with nearly a hundred-thousand-year-level super soul beasts.

What kind of monstrous existence was this?

Even with Huo Yuhao, who was also a transmigrator, and with Electrolux, they couldn't win!

Eliks was strong, but according to the comparison between the settings of Douluo Dalu and Douluo Dalu II, it was found that the cultivation realms of the two continents weren't much different. There were nine realms that corresponded to each other, with the only difference being that the other side didn't need soul rings to advance.

It was mainly this difference.

Therefore, in terms of realm, the human powerhouses on the Holy Demon Continent are considerably stronger than those on the Douluo Continent, possibly even a level or two higher. However, in terms of cultivation realm, they are actually comparable.

Moreover, Electrolux is still asleep, so she cannot intervene until a critical moment.

"How about we choose someone else?" Dou Yitian set up a mental barrier to prevent Huo Yuhao from hearing his conversation with his other self. "Since our goal is revenge against those bastards, wouldn't it be better to choose Tang San? The savage beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest are all power-based, or at least not weak in power, making them more suitable for his Haotian Hammer."

Dou Ertianmeng squinted. "Are you thinking of betraying Huo Yuhao?"

Dou Yitianmeng stared, saying, "What do you mean by betraying? He's just a waste. Without us, is he even worthy of being called the Son of Destiny? He may have the memories of his past life, but he's forgotten almost all the knowledge from his nine years of compulsory education, leaving only basic arithmetic and some peculiar ideas. Can we really let him run amok?"

"Although we previously sided with Huo Yuhao to target Tang San, the current situation is clear. Reality differs from fiction, but one thing is certain: our goal is revenge against those who absorbed our cultivation and then ascend to godhood. However, our position after ascending depends on the person we choose."

"Would it be better to have Tang San, who turns the Douluo Continent into his own backyard, or Huo Yuhao, who is trained like a dog?"

Though the current Huo Yuhao is a transmigrator, Dou Yitianmeng has realized that, apart from his memories from his previous life, he isn't much different from the Huo Yuhao in "Soul Land." If Tang San, as depicted in "Soul Land," is a pseudo-gentleman, then this Huo Yuhao is truly malicious.

Tang San may be hypocritical, but at least he appears to repay kindness. With a somewhat reasonable demeanor, it's easier to negotiate with him. On the other hand, Huo Yuhao seeks revenge without hesitation, showing his hatred directly. With these two personalities, they might be suitable as protagonists like Dragon Aotian, but when facing formidable opponents, they would surely be defeated.

Not to mention, the current Tang San already shows signs of becoming son of the Eternal Destiny of the Douluo Continent. If they oppose him, they and Huo Yuhao might face the opposition of the entire Douluo Continent's dimensional will.

Then they'd be in deep trouble.

"You make sense." Dou Ertianmeng was persuaded. After all, he and Huo Yuhao had arrived in this era due to the chaotic time stream, just after the sacrificial ritual. He had checked Huo Yuhao's memories and didn't have as deep a connection with him as Dou Ertianmeng did. Moreover, they both had already replicated Huo Yuhao's memories.

They also had knowledge of modern Earth society!

But...

"There's currently one issue: doesn't Tang San seem to lack a mental attribute martial soul?" Dou Ertianmeng continued, "Are we going to offer it to the Haotian Hammer?"

Combining mental and ice attributes with a strength-based martial soul would likely cause significant problems.

"That's true, but we can take Electrolux with us." Dou Yitianmeng looked at the gray bead above the mental space. "A million-year ice silkworm's mental strength can't shake him, but now we have two. With our mental strength, we should be able to carry him along. Then, with two million years of mental strength and our inherent ice attribute, we can forcibly turn him into Tang San's third martial soul, possessing mental, ice, and death attributes."

Dou Ertianmeng nodded. "True, it's worth a try... But isn't this a bit wrong? We're fine with this, but Electrolux is Huo Yuhao's opportunity..."

"Idiot! Whether Huo Yuhao can survive or not is still unknown. What use is he to us? Besides, we're soul beasts. Do we have any moral principles?" Dou Yitianmeng understood. Dou Er had spent more time with Huo Yuhao than he had, so he was a bit reluctant. "Moreover, Tang San's mental strength is so strong. His spiritual sea will undoubtedly make us more comfortable."

"Okay, let's do it," Dou Er Yitian agreed...

"Now, can I speak?" Tang San looked at Huo Yuhao, who was bound by the Blue Silver Emperor with his limbs tied and his eyes covered. "Why did you try to escape?"

"Spit on me, hypocrite!" Huo Yuhao was confident. He believed that the hypocritical Tang San wouldn't dare to kill him in front of Xiao Wu and another girl. So, he cursed boldly.

Smack!

Xiao Wu couldn't hold back and kicked his crotch.

There was a cracking sound, and blood stained his pants red.

"Ah!"

Huo Yuhao's features twisted, and his face turned pale at an alarming speed.

At this moment, his mind went blank, feeling like everything was over, and his manhood was broken.

"When I ask you a question, you answer. Still dare to rant? Can't see the situation, huh? Or maybe you have a Titled Douluo backing you?" Xiao Wu had followed Tang San for many years. Although her temper had improved, the wildness in her heart had never disappeared. She just learned to be restrained and knew when to show it and when to hold it back—

Dare to insult Tang San?

Courting death!

And that dream ice silkworm, won't it find someone!

Guang Ling's expression also turned ugly. Tang San was the big brother who changed her destiny. Even if he were the worst villain in the world, wanting to destroy the world, she would still be willing to sacrifice everything for him.

What qualifications did the guy in front of them have to curse him?

Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth in pain and also knew who had kicked him just now—Xiao Wu.

He almost forgot that most of the troubles in the original work were caused by Xiao Wu, and she didn't care about the consequences—damn it! Didn't he just consider making a move on Tang San earlier? Now he's been completely thwarted!

Birds of a feather!

Those who are with Tang San are all birds of a feather!

Buzz!

Suddenly, a powerful mental fluctuation erupted from Huo Yuhao's body, solidifying the surrounding space, and a frosty aura covered Xiao Wu and Guang Ling.

Tang San resisted with his robust physique and formidable spiritual power, controlling the endless grassland to send the two women five hundred meters away, resisting the surrounding mental pressure.

"You want to compare mental strength with me?" Tang San forcibly mobilized his blood energy, converting it into soul power, and then converting soul power into mental power to resist the mental fluctuations emitted by Huo Yuhao.

Lower dantian nurtures blood energy, middle dantian cultivates soul power, upper dantian condenses mental power.

The three can instinctively transform into each other.

Tang San hadn't found a better way to transform yet, so he forcibly converted it with the Profound Sky Skill, causing great damage to his body.

But Tang San didn't care.

Because the endless grassland could continuously replenish him, and a little injury, as long as he didn't die, could be healed!

The collision of two powerful mental energies created layers of waves in the void, causing the surrounding trees to tremble and shed leaves.

"Wow, Tang San is so powerful?" Dou Ertianmeng was dumbfounded, especially when he sensed the five soul rings emerging from Tang San's body: one yellow, two purple, one black, and one red.

He's actually a Soul King!

The fifth soul ring is a hundred thousand years!

Huo Yuhao, apart from being lucky enough to obtain their two million-year soul rings, is completely incomparable to Tang San.

"We must act quickly!" Dou Yitianmeng exerted all his effort to activate the gray bead, wanting to take away his mental power from Huo Yuhao. Dou Ertianmeng also exerted his mental energy.

"Sigh~"

Suddenly, Dou Yitianmeng, Dou Ertianmeng, Huo Yuhao, and Tang San all heard a long sigh, followed by: "Since I'm not welcome here, I'll go elsewhere."

Outside, where the spiritual power emitted by Tang San and Huo Yuhao collided, the space seemed to freeze, and a gray airflow condensed into a bead, slowly sinking into Tang San's brow.

But when Dou Yitianmeng and Dou Ertianmeng wanted to follow, a circle of gray airflow suddenly appeared on Huo Yuhao's forehead, forming a strange rune, which was a necromantic seal magic.

This obstacle trapped both of them in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

Dou Yitian was dumbfounded: "What's going on?"

Dou Er Yitian was shocked: "What the hell!"

"If you dislike me so much, don't follow me. It's perfect—I also like peace and dislike crowding." The elderly voice rang beside Dou Yitianmeng and Dou Ertianmeng's souls, then disappeared.

When Tang San regained his mobility, he felt his spiritual power fluctuating all over his body, his blood energy and soul power in turmoil. Realizing something, he didn't bother to kill Huo Yuhao and leaped towards the direction where Xiao Wu and Guang Ling were.

Using the Three Steps, one Sky Nine Steps technique, Tang San saw Xiao Wu and Guang Ling, who had already broken free from the ice. His consciousness was a bit blurry, and before passing out, he said one last thing: "Take me to a nearby town and find a relatively safe inn. That guy seems to have injected something into my upper dantian, affecting my mental power..."

As Tang San's eyes closed, Xiao Wu and Guang Ling immediately supported him and headed towards the town near the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Huo Yuhao, right? Wait, I will definitely kill you in the future!"

Guang Ling looked back at the quiet forest, absorbing the Ice Phoenix's power, she possessed an icy aura, coupled with her cultivation of the Purple Extreme Divine Eyes, she could clearly perceive that the ice attribute energy had not completely dissipated yet.

The guy who hurt her big brother is still alive!

She must help her big brother seek revenge!
