Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 16: The Lone Wolf of the Mysterious Heavy Ruler develops to level 20

Huo Yuhao remembered that when the Emperor Beast first appeared in Dou Er, it had 15,000 years of cultivation and the combat power of an ordinary 100,000-year-old beast.

If this 15,000 years is the actual age...

Could it be that before Tang San jumped off the cliff and transmigrated to Douluo Continent, in his previous life when he was still stealing the Xuan Tian Bao Lu from the Tang Sect, he was already planning his arrangements for the auspicious beasts?

There's a lot to say about stealing the Xuan Tian Treasure Record. It seems that during the process of stitching Tang Wutong together, Tang Shenwang also coveted the fortune, bloodline, and golden dragon spear of the Imperial Auspicious Beast.

This can be considered a traditional craft that Tang San has inherited from both his previous lives.

At this moment, Tang Ya and Bei Bei gradually regained consciousness. Bei Bei saw that Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao were safe and sound, and just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she became alert again as if by reflex.

"Xiaoya, Yuhao, did that golden lion beast hurt you?"

Beibei thought the three of them had been stunned, so while asking them questions, she quickly checked if they had any injuries.

After Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya both said that everything was alright, Bei Bei finally felt relieved.

As for the mandala snake, it had fallen into a coma under the intimidation of the three-eyed golden lion, but it woke up at this time. After the previous battle, it knew that it was no match for the other snake and only wanted to escape as soon as possible.

"Still trying to run!" Bei Bei was already furious, and now she suddenly erupted, unleashing her Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul once more. Her Soul Rings flashed one after another, and then it was time to brutally attack the Mandragora Serpent.

After several rounds, the Mandragora Serpent was blasted by the Thunder Dragon Claw, leaving it covered in blood and lying on the ground, barely alive.

"Xiaoya, do you still want to absorb this spirit ring?"

Beibei asked if Tang Ya needed the spirit ring, and suggested that she leave it for her to finish her off.

Tang Ya pondered for a moment, recalling the life force route Huo Yuhao had mentioned earlier, and slowly shook her head.

"Forget it, I won't absorb it."

"Alright." With a final Thunder Dragon Claw strike, Beibei killed the Mandragora Snake.

Tang Ya told Bei Bei about her idea of ​​pursuing the vitality route: "...Blue Silver Grass has such a tenacious vitality, I think I should play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses, and continue to develop in the areas where Blue Silver Grass martial soul has advantages."

Realizing this, Tang Ya suddenly felt a tickle on her head, as if she had broken through some kind of seal and suddenly realized something, muttering to herself.

"Entangling is clearly a plant's instinct, so why did Sect Master Tang San and that master think of teaching the Blue Silver Grass martial soul the entanglement soul skill...?"

Beibei smiled again: "Xiaoya, it's so good that you think this way. Since martial souls are going to try to develop different paths, why can't Tang Sect's hidden weapons do the same?"

Beibei had never said this before because Tang Ya firmly believed in the Tang Clan's theories, and now she was taking this opportunity to say it.

"We also need to be flexible in our use of hidden weapons. After all, those are things from ten thousand years ago. Nowadays, there's not much effective advancement in hidden weapons. We can't be stuck in the past, right, Yuhao?"

Bei Bei was afraid that she wouldn't be able to persuade him enough on her own, so she casually called on Huo Yuhao as well.

Huo Yuhao casually replied, "Yeah, that's right. Brother Bei Bei is right. Since soul tools are a product of new-era technology..."

"Actually, you can first learn about and study soul tools, and then combine them with your own strengths to see if you can find a new path that belongs to you."

Tang Ya nodded. In fact, she understood the reasoning and knew that the development and popularization of soul tools was an inevitable trend.

However, for some reason, I used to have a strong obsession with rebuilding the glory of the Tang Clan through hidden weapons. But as I figured out the path of the Martial Soul just now, this obsession has dissipated somewhat.

Tang Ya felt much better: "Okay, I know what to do from now on. I'm a little hungry, let's catch a rabbit and roast it."

Soon, Bei Bei caught a soft-boned rabbit, and Huo Yuhao roasted it. The three of them each had a rabbit leg to fill their stomachs.

"Young Master Huo, where are you headed next?"

While eating, Beibei asked, "Xiaoya and I are planning to go back to Shrek City. As for life attribute spirit rings, we can ask the teacher to help us get them after school starts. Why don't you come with us to Shrek City and see for yourself?"

Huo Yuhao was also thinking about his future path when three options popped up.

Option 1: Enter any academy to study. Completion reward: Fire attribute cultivation technique - Advanced Profound Rank (from Yao Lao's storage ring)

Option Two: Join any sect. Completion Reward: A large amount of Battle Qi (approximately equivalent to a ninth-level cultivator)

Option 3: Develop independently and train to level 20 before making further plans. Reward: Exclusive weapon - Mystic Heavy Ruler.

Huo Yuhao keenly noticed the words "Mysterious Heavy Ruler" and quickly made a judgment, choosing option three.

The Xuanzhong Ruler is Emperor Yan's standard weapon; we must obtain it.

Moreover, the task isn't too difficult; it's just about reaching level 20 as a lone wolf before considering any specific path.

Once you obtain your second martial soul, your opportunities will broaden, and you'll be highly sought after wherever you go.

The Mandala Serpent has been defeated, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion has returned. The Purple Flame reward has not yet been issued, indicating that the judgment criteria is whether the person survives until tomorrow morning after encountering the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

The rewards will probably be distributed tomorrow morning.

Tonight will be the time to settle the rewards of the opportunity, so I'll rest in Shrek City for the night.

I'll leave the city tomorrow morning and find a place to properly boost my combat power.

Going forward, we need to raise some initial capital in Shrek City or other cities. We can't rely on walking to explore the map; we definitely need to experience the mode of transportation in the context of the Soul Guidance Devices of Douji II, such as a horse-drawn carriage.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement with Bei Bei: "Okay, I was just looking for a place to rest for the night, so thank you for your help, Sister Tang Ya, Brother Bei Bei."

The three of them quickly filled their stomachs and, led by Beibei, headed towards Shrek City: "Yuhao, Xiaoya, let's go to Shrek City. I'll show you this city that can be called the 'Light of the Righteous Path'."

……

Starry Sky Forest, core area, beside the Lake of Life.

When the Crimson King saw the Imperial Beast running back excitedly, all three dog heads simultaneously revealed smiles like those of an old father.

"My little darling, you're finally back! How was your day? Did you have fun?"

A ball of light floated in front of the three-eyed golden lion's neck, and it seemed to be in a good mood: "Uncle Red King, I had a lot of fun this afternoon."

"Let's have an extra meal tonight, two more soft-bodied rabbits."

"Alright!" The Crimson King chuckled kindly and went to prepare dinner for the Imperial Beast.

The three-eyed golden lion lay beside the Fountain of Life, wondering, "What's wrong with me? Why can't I stop thinking about Huo Yuhao after I get home?"

"The person in this sphere of light is ultimately different from Huo Yuhao. I should have had Huo Yuhao create a few more images of himself."

Before long, the Crimson King prepared dinner for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, saying in a kind tone, "Come, let's eat. Tonight's soft-boned rabbit marinated with herbs is absolutely delicious."

The three-eyed golden lion shook its head, shaking off those miscellaneous thoughts.

"Never mind, let's fill our stomachs first, and then we'll continue reading the story of the three-eyed golden retriever in the orb of light later."
