Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 13 Ablaze with Fireworks

"Uh... spicy rabbit head?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yang was taken aback.

"Eat up, it's delicious!"

Huo Wu munched on the rabbit head with relish, speaking in a slightly slurred manner.

Looking at the delicious-looking spicy rabbit head on his plate, Mu Yang couldn't help but think of a rabbit that shared the same nickname as his older cousin.

Both of them have "dance" in their names, and according to Huo Lie, Mu Xiyue, and Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu is Xiao Wu. However, one Xiao Wu loves to eat spicy rabbit heads, while the other Xiao Wu is terrified of rabbits and cannot bear to see anyone eating them.

Xiao Wu: Bunnies are so cute, how can you eat them?

Fire Dance: Cute bunnies deserve to be braised or made spicy!

This little butterfly of his is quite well-behaved, not flapping its wings recklessly. Apart from subtly giving the deduced "Extreme Flame Meditation Method" to his uncle Huo Lie, it shouldn't have had much impact on other figures on the continent, at least not so far.

If we follow the original story's trajectory, Xiao Wu would already be enrolled at Notting Academy by now, and a certain Title Douluo would have discovered her identity as a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, planning to leave her to his eldest son as a soul ring and soul bone.

A 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone—every soul master would be envious. Wasn't that how Tang got his 100,000-year ninth soul ring?

However, Mu Yang felt that it would be best if he could thwart Tang Hao's plans in the future, and it would also be very necessary for him to intercept Tang San and kill Xiao Wu.

In the original story, three deities were born in the world of Soul Masters on the mainland: Qian Renxue, the God of Angels; Tang San, the God of the Sea; and Bibi Dong, the God of Rakshasa.

From the perspective of Mu Yang himself and the Blazing Fire Academy, neither Bibi Dong and her daughter Qian Renxue, nor Tang San, can be considered to be on the same path.

If Mu Yang were to say which of the three he least wanted to fail to ascend to godhood, it would undoubtedly be Tang San.

It's not that his values ​​follow his physical appearance, but rather that he acts solely from the perspective of his own self-interest.

Mu Yang couldn't say for sure what would happen to Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, who would still be gods, if the original ending were rewritten. But he had heard about what would happen to Tang San, the future sea god in the original story.

Douluo Continent has become Tang Family Continent, and Douluo God Realm has become Tang Family God Realm. How can he continue playing now?

Although Tang San's actions were in line with human nature, after all, everyone looks out for themselves, and if it were him, the entire Douluo Continent and the Douluo God Realm would have to take his surname, Mu.

Mu Yang, who did not want the mainland to become the Tang family's mainland, nor the God Realm to become the Tang family's God Realm, naturally did not want Tang San to be able to make a comeback from a desperate situation as in the original story.

Destroying Xiao Wu and seizing that stupid rabbit's 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone would be a very effective blow to Tang San's growth path.

Without Xiao Wu's sacrifice, there would naturally be no more sacrifices from the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python. Without the successive sacrifices of 100,000-year-old soul beasts, even if Tang San still initiated the Sea God's Trial as in the original story, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong would probably have already ascended to godhood before he even advanced to the ninth-ring Title Douluo level.

Hmm~, Qian Renxue might not be so sure. If her infiltration plan in Tiandou hadn't failed, with the newly acquired Tiandou Empire as a burden, her ascension to the Angel Godhood would definitely have been delayed considerably compared to the original story.

But Bibi Dong shouldn't be affected much, after all, this widow started the Rakshasa Divine Trial a long time ago.

Of course, it would be even better if we could just destroy Tang San directly?

Hmm, I can give it a try, but the person who does it absolutely cannot be himself or anyone he cares about, lest he get smashed into a pancake by some hammer-wielding king.

In the original work, Tang Hao seems to have left Tang San's side, but Tang Hao also appeared at crucial moments more than once. It is possible that he said he left, but in fact he was protecting him in secret. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?

After a satisfying meal, Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu led Mu Yang to the core area of ​​the 'Fire Plant Garden' simulated training ground after leaving the academy cafeteria.

The simulated training ground of "Fire Plant Garden" covers almost the entire Blazing Academy, but the training bonus effect of this simulated training ground is not the same in all areas. For example, the edge of the academy has almost no bonus effect.

Following Huo Wu and the other two, along the path paved with red pebbles, Mu Yang arrived at a paradise for fire-type plant soul beasts.

Mu Yang's gaze was immediately drawn to a tall plant in the center of the botanical garden, blooming with countless silver flowers and fiery red leaves.

A gentle breeze blew by, carrying a faint, exotic floral fragrance that instantly invigorated Mu Yang.

Seeing Mu Yang's reaction, Huo Wu's face showed a "I knew it" expression, a smile appearing on her lips. She then introduced, "Little Yang, this Fiery Tree Silver Flower is no ordinary tree; it's the prized treasure of our Blazing Fire Academy!"

"The most prized possession of the institution?"

Mu Yang raised an eyebrow.

Huo Wu nodded: "That's right, it's the treasure of the academy! My father said that this Fiery Tree and Silver Flower existed since the academy was founded. After thousands of years of cultivation by the academy and the consumption of a lot of resources, it is now over 50,000 years old."

"Since it's the academy's prized possession, and the academy is willing to spend a lot of resources to cultivate it, is there anything special about this Fiery Tree Silver Flower? I've never heard of this kind of plant-type soul beast before."

Mu Yang asked, puzzled.

"That's for sure! As far as I know, apart from the Fiery Tree Silver Flower in the academy, there doesn't seem to be a second one on the continent. It must have mutated from some kind of fire-attribute plant soul beast."

As for why the college is willing to spend resources to cultivate it...

As she spoke, Huo Wu deliberately dragged out the syllables, intending to whet Mu Yang's appetite.

Seeing this, Mu Yang rolled his eyes. He hated people who kept him in suspense the most.

Huo Wu smiled, then said with a proud expression, "Did you see the countless silver flowers blooming in the Fire Tree and Silver Flower? The faint fragrance emitted by these flowers has a certain calming effect, which can extend the daily meditation and cultivation time of Soul Masters."

Even fallen petals are treasures; after drying them, they can be used to make tea, which can also have a calming effect.

Although the effects weren't very noticeable, and weren't very useful for higher-level Soul Masters, the cumulative effect was quite considerable for the academy's students over time.

"repose?"

Mu Yang's eyes lit up, and his gaze towards the fiery tree filled with an inexplicable light.

The reason he appears so weak is precisely because he has consumed too much of his mental and spiritual energy. If he had a sufficient supply of 'silver flowers,' wouldn't he be able to shed the label of 'weak'?
