Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 105 Huo Yuhao, I wish to take you as my personal disciple

The Silver Dragon King glanced at the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb, his voice cold and indifferent as he said, "Tang San protected you by setting up a poisonous miasma, preventing any invasion for ten thousand years. Aren't you quite grateful to Tang San?"

"Completely wrong!" Youyou said firmly, as if all the pink petals on her body were exerting force, the petals clenching into fists in a human-like manner.

She spoke in a pained tone, as if she were reminiscing about the past.

"Tang San's actions were simply outrageous. Ten thousand years ago, he almost completely looted all the immortal herbs in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, and all the immortal herbs suffered as a result."

"The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is a blessed land formed after the fall of the Ice and Fire Dragon King. We are indeed blessed by the Dragon Clan, but what right does Tang San have to occupy this place?!"

Youyou's vehement condemnation of Tang San's various atrocities quickly resonated with all the immortal herbs.

"Senior Silver Dragon King, we've decided to follow you. When we arrive in the God Realm, we immortal herbs will act as inside agents, and you will provide external support. We'll work together to counterattack Tang San and succeed in one fell swoop!"

Huo Yuhao listened to Youyou's inspiring speech and was somewhat puzzled. These immortal herbs seemed to be only suitable as spirits, so how could they be used as inside agents?

Moreover, he wouldn't need so many immortal herbs and spirits. In the original Douluo Continent II, apart from Princess Tang, who was a second-generation god, only Huo Gua truly became a god.

We can only wait and see if this time, with the help of good fortune, he will lead more people to godhood by choosing a different path.

In this way, these medicinal herbs can also have a very good effect when absorbed by other people.

Youyou seemed to understand what Huo Yuhao was thinking, and chuckled as she explained, "That person is definitely keeping a close eye on the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Now that the Ice and Fire Dragon King is gone, such a huge change has occurred. Tang San will most likely send people to keep a close watch on it."

"We, the Immortal Herbs, can cooperate in the act. Regardless of whether Tang San sees through it or not, we will create the illusion of unwavering loyalty to the Tang Sect."

Youyou couldn't help but emphasize, "But if you have friends who might become gods, don't forget about us!"

Anyway, since the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes were a failure, the immortal herbs were all willing to become soul spirits. Moreover, the Silver Dragon King standing next to Huo Yuhao was a true beast deity with the highest bloodline of the dragon race.

The thought that if she could become the soul of Huo Yuhao or Di Ruiqiu, she would have a chance to ascend to the God Realm filled her with excitement.

"When we get to the realm of gods, everyone can settle scores and avenge their grudges. Just thinking about it is exciting!"

After hearing the explanation of the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herbs, the Silver Dragon King was somewhat embarrassed to eat them directly.

After all, the immortal herbs were also willing to help her counterattack the God Realm, although their beneficial effect was not as great as that of Huo Yuhao's bloodline.

But since the immortal herbs were so sincere, it was a little impolite of the Silver Dragon King to roast them instead.

With a flick of her slender fingers, the Silver Dragon King retracted the flames from the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and spoke in a calm tone.

"If given the opportunity, I will have Huo Yuhao, or his friends, come to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to absorb you immortal herbs as their soul spirits."

Upon hearing the Silver Dragon King's words, the immortal herbs became incredibly excited, howling and clamoring to defeat Tang San.

Di Ruiqiu exclaimed, "Big Silver Dragon, if you're not going to roast the Earth Dragon Golden Pumpkin anymore, what will Yuhao eat to fill his stomach?"

"I feel that his Taixu Ancient Dragon bloodline is quite similar to the Golden Dragon King bloodline in this respect; in any case, they both have a big appetite."

Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said with a smile, "You can eat it after you leave the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, it's fine."

When I get back this time, I'll study how to refine higher-grade pills. As for materials, I can at least try making third or fourth-grade pills with common herbs from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. If I'm still missing any materials, I'll have to find another way.

One can't always be like Tang Wulin, eating large amounts of rice whenever one's appetite increases. Occasionally, one needs to take some pills for better results.

Upon hearing Di Ruiqiu's question, the Silver Dragon King waved her hand, and several strands of silver light flashed by, causing the space in front of her to tremble.

She took out a crystal-clear Dragon Spirit Fruit, which contained abundant elemental energy and looked very nutritious.

"This is the Dragon Spirit Fruit that I often ate when I was recuperating at the bottom of the Lake of Life. It has a good nourishing effect on the bloodline of dragons."

The Silver Dragon King conjured a spiritual fruit out of thin air, and the fruit instantly grew several times larger, requiring her to hold it with both hands in her human form.

Holding the spiritual fruit, she didn't rush to give it to Huo Yuhao, but instead paused for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Huo Yuhao, logically speaking, both the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings belong to my dragon clan, so the opportunity should belong to me as well."

"Now that you've taken the opportunity from the Ice and Fire Dragon King, what reason do you think I should give you back the Ice and Fire Dragon King's opportunity? Because I think you're handsome?"

What the Silver Dragon King said was true. The ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, whether it was the number one ranked Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian or the number ten ranked Hell Demon Dragon Zi Ji, all benefited greatly from absorbing the energy of the Ice and Fire Dragon King.

If Di Tian and Zi Ji absorb it, it will greatly enhance the top combat power of the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, the Silver Dragon King still allowed Huo Yuhao to absorb it. The key point is that the other party is still human. In addition to investing in his Taixu Ancient Dragon bloodline and eventually becoming a god, Huo Yuhao must promise some benefits.

Otherwise, wouldn't the Silver Dragon King, the ruler of all soul beasts, become a source of great resentment?

Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "Senior Silver Dragon King, I know that what you can grasp is an opportunity, and what you can't grasp is a disaster. If you are willing to give, I will remember your kindness."

"But if it's for the sake of the Dragon King's remains, and I have to go against my conscience and promise to help you revive the dragon race, then there's no point in taking this opportunity."

"Who gave you the promise to revive the dragon race? I'll handle that myself."

The Silver Dragon King turned his head and said seriously, "I just want to hear your plans, how you intend to help our dragon race in the future, so that you won't go astray."

Huo Yuhao understood. The Silver Dragon King was simply uneasy, worried that since he was human, he wouldn't ultimately care about the dragon race.

He thought for a moment, then simply asked, "Senior Silver Dragon King, do you have any requests of me?"

Silver Dragon King's eyes flickered slightly. If she gave away the opportunity of Ice and Fire Dragon King for free, wouldn't she become a stupid, foolish dragon if she didn't bind it with some kind of bond?

Huo Yuhao has already absorbed the energy of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, so she naturally won't take it back. After all, raising Huo Yuhao, who has the bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon and may become a powerful figure for the dragon race in the future, is just too tempting—ugh, too tempting for dragons.

If she bets right that Huo Yuhao is a grateful person, the rewards her dragon clan will receive are unimaginable.

The Silver Dragon King considered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I will not make things difficult for a human junior like you. What is rightfully yours will be given to you. However, the remains of a Dragon King are extremely rare, and even in the realm of gods, they are considered a great opportunity."

"If I just give you a human like this, Di Tian and the others might be dissatisfied. There should at least be a suitable identity or relationship, such as you being my personal disciple..."

The Silver Dragon King revealed her true purpose, adding another layer of bond between master and disciple.

After all, she did teach Huo Yuhao the Dragon God Claw, and Huo Yuhao couldn't betray his master and ancestors when he grew up.

Huo Yuhao saw through the Silver Dragon King's thoughts, but did not refuse directly. He gave a gentle smile and said, "Senior Silver Dragon King, taking on a disciple is a big deal, not just a simple title."

"Most importantly, I already have my teacher, Old Yi."

The Silver Dragon King raised an eyebrow and smiled, "It's alright, I don't mind. I can be your second teacher."

Huo Yuhao pursed his lips: "Even if I want to become your disciple, I have to see if we are compatible. Otherwise, it would be meaningless to become your disciple in name only."

"What's wrong with us?"

The Silver Dragon King replied matter-of-factly, "You have the bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon, and I have the bloodline of the Silver Dragon King. We are both supreme bloodlines of the dragon race, equally matched. What's wrong with that?"

Huo Yuhao thought about it and realized that what the Silver Dragon King said wasn't without reason. It was just that suddenly becoming the master of a soul beast was a bit difficult for him to adapt to.

The Silver Dragon King could tell what Huo Yuhao was thinking from his expression, and said with a gentle smile, "If you're not willing to do this, then you can only become our soul beast's son-in-law."

"How about this, I'll consider the opportunity presented by the Ice and Fire Dragon King as your dowry?"

Huo Yuhao was stunned. What was this? A son-in-law and a dowry? He didn't understand.

He shrugged: "Senior Silver Dragon King, what do you mean by that?"

The Silver Dragon King gestured to Di Rachel with his eyes: "The auspicious beast has already taken human form and is quite fond of you, always siding with you. Naturally, it's her. Don't you understand what I mean?"

Di Ruiqiu was overjoyed to hear this, and suddenly felt that the Great Silver Dragon was a truly intelligent and good dragon.

But the next second, a sly glint flashed in the Silver Dragon King's eyes.

"If you don't like the auspicious beast, there are plenty of soul beasts over 100,000 years old in our Star Dou Great Forest. Pick one at random, and I will order her to transform into human form."

"Ten thousand years ago, Tang San's wife was a Soft Bone Rabbit. I guarantee that there are many other soul beasts that, after transforming, will be even more beautiful than the Soft Bone Rabbit."

The Silver Dragon King seemed to remember something, paused slightly, and added, "Of course, except for me."

"..."

Huo Yuhao felt that the Silver Dragon King's last sentence was a bit superfluous; where did he get the audacity to flip the card to the Silver Dragon King, the ruler of all soul beasts?

Oh no, he had no intention of choosing a card at all, and was almost led astray by the Silver Dragon King.

What do you mean he can just pick any soul beast to transform into? Is that even possible? And how can he and his auspicious beast compare to Tang San's Soft Bone Rabbit?!

Di Rachel immediately stopped laughing and glared angrily at the Silver Dragon King.

"Big Silver Dragon, what do you mean? Haven't I told you many times that Yuhao and I are drawn together by fate?"

"How dare you compare me to other spirit beasts? You're insulting me and Yuhao!"

Di Ruiqiu was so angry that she almost cursed the Silver Dragon King for being an old dragon and disrespectful.

Huo Yuhao was equally indignant: "Senior Silver Dragon King, love between a man and a woman is definitely a major matter, no less important than the master-disciple relationship."

"If I were to betray my conscience and let you randomly pick a soul beast and force it to take human form just for the sake of the Ice and Fire Dragon King's opportunity, not only would you not trust me, but I myself would not be able to get over that hurdle in my heart."

Huo Yuhao said solemnly, "As for my matter with the auspicious beast, I believe there will be a good outcome this time, so senior doesn't need to worry too much."

Upon hearing this, the Silver Dragon King smiled with satisfaction and nodded slightly. It seemed that Huo Yuhao would certainly not mistreat the auspicious beast in the future.

"Hmm, what you said makes sense, but I can't just give it away for nothing."

"Think about it yourself. You've already absorbed the energy of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, and you probably know how much benefit that has brought you."

The Silver Dragon King said in a low voice, "But I haven't gained anything yet, and you're not even willing to take me as your disciple."

"What if you seize this opportunity and then completely forget about me after you've grown stronger? Who will I complain to then? Wouldn't I be the one who got the short end of the stick?"

Huo Yuhao completely understood the Silver Dragon King's feelings. It wasn't that the King was making things difficult for him; it was just the way dragons are.

"Senior Silver Dragon King, friendships are built on mutual trust and need to be accumulated gradually. It's not appropriate for me to make any promises upon our first meeting."

Although Huo Yuhao's words were somewhat conciliatory, he did so to protect the Silver Dragon King's feelings and prevent her from becoming too upset.

So Huo Yuhao said sincerely, "Senior Silver Dragon King, becoming a disciple is a very important matter. I'll discuss it with my teacher, Elder Yi, and give you a proper answer next time we have the opportunity to go to the Star Dou Great Forest. How about that?"

The Silver Dragon King was not particularly happy that his goal of immediately establishing a master-disciple bond had not been achieved.

However, Huo Yuhao said there was room for negotiation, so she couldn't push him too hard.

She reached her jade-like hand inside her clothes and groped around, the bulging silvery-white fabric shimmering. Then, with a flick of her wrist, a beautiful silver dragon scale appeared in her palm.

? ?

Huo Yuhao was stunned again when he saw her reach into her silver dragon scale dress. What did she mean by that? She was treating him like family.

"This is my protective dragon scale; you can take it."

"To prevent you from dying in the human world before you even have a chance to become my disciple, if you encounter any danger to your life, you can communicate with this protective dragon scale through your bloodline, and I will rush over to your rescue immediately."

Huo Yuhao took her protective dragon scale and examined it curiously. It was warm to the touch and carried a faint fragrance.

Holy crap... the Silver Dragon King is a real tiger, he just took it out of his chest right in front of him.

Huo Yuhao handed the protective dragon scale back, flattered and overwhelmed: "Senior Silver Dragon King, there's no need for that. You should always wear such a treasure with you..."

Apart from feeling a chill in his chest (after all, the heart-protecting scale is a relatively important dragon scale), the Silver Dragon King did not experience any other discomfort.

She crossed her arms, her demeanor noble and composed: "It's alright, you can take it. I have plenty of dragon scales all over my body."

"And do you think, with my strength, anyone in this Douluo Continent could harm me?"

Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate any longer. Although he felt the dragon scale was a bit too hot to handle, he gladly accepted it. After a moment's hesitation, he earnestly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Silver Dragon King."

"I'm glad you appreciate my kindness. I hope that next time we meet, you won't refuse to become my disciple."

The Silver Dragon King glanced at Huo Yuhao nonchalantly, then patted Di Ruiqiu on the shoulder: "Cultivate diligently, and perhaps one day you too will surpass me in dragon bloodline!"

Di Rachel blinked, feeling that the silver dragon in the sphere of light was indeed different, and she nodded emphatically.

"Yes, keep trying!"
