Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 37 Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm

"Oh, right, let me give you a heads-up," Xue Di said to Huo Yuhao. "Based on what I know, you have a few options for your spirit rings. First, a spirit beast called the Purple Spirit Wolf; second, the Illusion Demon Ape; third, the Ice Silkworm, which is a bit special...; and finally, the Evil Eye Tyrant."

After speaking, Xue Di handed Huo Yuhao a small piece of white paper, on which she had drawn the approximate appearance of a soul beast using her mental power and the pen from the soul tool she had snatched from Dai Huabin.

She did this to tell Huo Yuhao that he should just focus on obtaining spirit rings from these spirit beasts and not go around killing innocent people.

Huo Yuhao accepted it solemnly.

"These are the types of spirit beasts I know. You can choose them as your spirit rings, even for later ones," said Xue Di. "But you must remember not to kill innocent spirit beasts indiscriminately, unless it's in self-defense. For your first spirit ring, get one that's around four hundred years old, a pale yellow one will do."

"Sisters, are you really leaving? Aren't you going to leave me behind?" Huo Yuhao realized that he was really going to be separated from these two girls.

"Little Huo," Qian Renxue stared into Huo Yuhao's eyes, "you've been traveling with us these past few days, you must have seen how we hunt spirit beasts for food, right?"

Huo Yuhao nodded. That was indeed the case. In the past few days, while they were traveling, the two older sisters had set up one trap after another to hunt down some soul beasts that were ten or even a hundred years old. Neither of them had even used their martial souls.

"If you always stick with the two of us, you won't be able to shine. You're smart and willing to learn, so you need to learn to be independent and self-reliant." Qian Renxue's eyes were sincere.

"Then, will we meet again in the future?" Huo Yuhao asked hurriedly.

"...If you truly achieve great things, I think we will definitely meet again." Qian Renxue nodded. "Moreover, we might even be on the same side."

Xue Di patted Qian Renxue: "It's time to go. We've actually wasted a lot of time these past few days."

Qian Renxue smiled and said, "Okay, I'm leaving."

This is a destined parting, and no one can change it.

……

Watching Qian Renxue and Xue Di turn and leave, Huo Yuhao clenched his fists tightly.

Don't worry, my two older sisters. Although we are separated for now, we will definitely meet again. I will never forget what you said to me today, and I will not let myself or my mother's spirit in heaven down!

He took a deep breath and then walked alone towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

He has indeed learned a lot from Qian Renxue and Xue Di these past few days, such as survival skills in the wild and how to identify different types of soul beasts.

After traveling into the Star Dou Great Forest for less than an hour, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his mind. Huo Yuhao felt a slight stinging in his eyes and subconsciously channeled his soul power into his spiritual eyes.

crisis!

In a split second, Huo Yuhao slid to the side, dodging an attack.

He was somewhat relieved; if he hadn't learned something from Qian Renxue and the others, he probably would have been completely flustered and at a loss for what to do. He drew his White Tiger Dagger from his waist, ready to fight.

"A baboon-type soul beast!"

His brain was working at lightning speed, trying to come up with a solution.

"In the wild, the first thing to consider is learning to utilize everything you see and turn it into your advantage." Qian Renxue's words echoed in his ears. Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and his limited but useful spiritual energy gathered in his pupils. He ran towards an ancient tree not far away, which made the wind baboon mistakenly think that this human was trying to escape.

Soul beasts harbor no goodwill towards human soul masters; it's an instinct ingrained in their bones and blood. It let out a long howl, slammed its powerful arms into the ground, and gave chase. Its speed was far greater than a human's! So, in just a breath, it caught up with Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao suddenly looked down, and the baboon, unable to brake in time, crashed directly into the tree trunk.

The wind baboon clearly hadn't expected this human to be so cunning! After crashing into the tree, it let out a screech and fell to the ground. Huo Yuhao sidestepped, avoiding its body.

What should I do? Should I kill it?

Huo Yuhao's mind raced.

The white-haired woman told me not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, but I was acting in self-defense. If I didn't kill it, it would recover and kill me back.

Having made up his mind, Huo Yuhao swiftly plunged the White Tiger Dagger into the body of the Wind Baboon. A faint white light appeared on the Wind Baboon's body, and gradually, the white light slowly condensed into a white halo above its body.

We won? We won!

Huo Yuhao was a little excited. This was the first time he had hunted a soul beast alone! And he had succeeded!

However, he quickly calmed down. This was the first soul beast he had hunted. Judging from its appearance, it seemed to be a ten-year level wind baboon soul beast, which was obviously not a suitable soul beast for him.

He recalled the knowledge his white-haired sister had told him: among the spirit-attribute soul beasts, there seemed to be one called the Illusion Demon Ape. Although it resembled the wind baboon's fellow villager, it shouldn't be considered a close relative.

What other spirit-attribute soul beasts were there? Purple Spirit Wolf, Ice Silkworm…

Haha, ice silkworms... they sound like they only exist in icy, snowy places...

"Finally, I've encountered a human with spiritual attributes. It's a pity I can't cry, otherwise I would definitely be in tears!"

Huo Yuhao was startled; he had no idea why a voice had suddenly appeared in his mind. Just then, the ground beneath him began to tremble without warning. Cracks began to appear on the ground two meters in front of him, gradually widening into fissures. Faint golden-white light could be seen shimmering from these fissures.

What... what is this? Another soul beast?

As it appeared, Huo Yuhao's breath began to mist with ice, and the icy chill made him shiver several times in succession.

This thing is definitely a soul beast, and it looks like a silkworm. However, it's many times larger than an ordinary silkworm.

Huo Yuhao was shocked. This guy... he seems to look a bit like the Ice Silkworm that the white-haired sister mentioned!

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Brother won't hurt you." The previous voice rang in Huo Yuhao's mind once again. The giant silkworm nodded to him, its huge head lowered, and it stopped a meter away from Huo Yuhao. A faint fragrance even emanated from its body.

Huo Yuhao asked in surprise, "Are you talking to me?"

But didn't the white-haired sister say that the Ice Silkworm, this kind of soul beast... should be quite special, only appearing in icy and snowy places, and it's not this big!

The silkworm said, "Let me introduce myself first. I am the embodiment of heroism and chivalry, the king of soul beasts who possesses both wisdom and beauty, an unparalleled powerhouse, having cultivated for millions of years, setting the record for the longest lifespan in the Douluo Continent—the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. Um, you can call me Brother Heavenly Dream!"

This was a destined encounter, and no one could change it.
