Douluo Continent: The Purple Dragon's Roar, the End of the Dark Abyss

Time flies, and several months have passed quietly.

Ye Linyi returned to Xingluo City, waiting for the story to officially begin.

But a piece of news struck him like a thunderbolt—Huo Yuhao's mother, Huo Yun'er, had passed away.

Upon hearing this news, Ye Linyi froze on the spot, completely stunned.

That's not right...

He had secretly left behind a healing pill, and with the efficacy of that pill, it would have been enough to stabilize Huo Yun'er's body. How could she have suddenly died?

He was completely baffled, and a thought began to frantically grow in his mind—

Could it be that Tang San, that God King, was behind it?

In order to provoke Huo Yuhao, the chosen one, and make him completely lose heart and vow to become stronger, he did not hesitate to personally push for Huo Yun'er's death.

If so...

If I had been soft-hearted and helped him back then, wouldn't I have already been exposed to Tang San's sight?

The thought that he might be targeted by the God King sent chills down Ye Linyi's spine, and he was restless all day long.

He even began to fear that one day he would wake up to find himself completely dealt with by Tang San's "Causal Lock" strike.

But he quickly forced himself to calm down and began to reason frantically.

His second martial soul was ultimate destruction. Logically speaking, the God of Destruction of the God Realm had always longed to find a successor on Douluo Star. The moment his martial soul awakened, he should have been noticed by the other party and even subjected to a divine test.

But now, six years have passed, and there has been no movement from the God of Destruction.

There is only one possibility—

Something terrible has happened in the realm of gods.

One day in the realm of gods is equivalent to one year on earth.

They were too busy taking care of themselves to pay attention to the trivial matters on the Douluo Continent.

Ye Linyi's guess was absolutely right.

At this moment, the divine realm and the forbidden land of gods are in turmoil.

A figure with flowing blue hair and wielding a golden trident was enraged, his voice resounding throughout the divine realm:

"God of Destruction, you have already chosen your own death, repeatedly thwarting my millennia-long plan!"

Meanwhile, the God of Destruction was on the other side of the Forbidden Land, keeping company with the Sea God Tang San.

At the same time, the God of Destruction sneezed and said in confusion, "Could it be? Little Green, you miss me?"

……

Outside the White Tiger Duke's mansion, in front of a simple grave.

The emaciated boy knelt on the ground, his eyes red and tears streaming silently down his face.

"Mom... my soul power has reached level ten..."

"I can acquire a spirit ring now..."

"I will live on and become a powerful Soul Master to avenge you."

The boy kowtowed three times deeply, and when he looked up again, all that remained in his eyes was a cold, resolute determination.

"From today onwards, I change my name and surname to Huo, just like you—my name is Huo Yuhao!"

After he finished speaking, he wiped away his tears, picked up his simple bag, resolutely turned around, and walked towards the Starry Sky Forest.

In the woods not far behind him, a dark figure stood silently.

Ye Linyi gazed at Huo Yuhao's lonely yet stubborn back and sighed softly.

"Sigh... Finally, the story is about to begin."

"I need to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to wait." As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flickered and disappeared into the forest in a few flashes, leaving no trace.

……

Six days later.

A slender figure carrying a small bundle finally stood before an endless primeval forest.

Towering ancient trees reach straight into the sky, the roars of beasts rise and fall, and the air is filled with an ancient and wild atmosphere.

Huo Yuhao stared at the magnificent scene before him, his face filled with awe: "This is... the Star Dou Great Forest? It's so spectacular..."

After a long journey, his stomach was growling with hunger.

My gaze shifted, and there was a clear stream nearby, with dead branches scattered all around.

"Perfect, let's eat here!"

Huo Yuhao summoned his martial soul—a pale golden vertical pupil flashed briefly between his brows, and his spiritual eye was activated.

He picked up a sharpened wooden fork, walked to the stream, and aimed accurately every time. In no time, he had speared more than a dozen plump fish.

Light the fire, set up the fork, and roast slowly.

Before long, golden fish oil dripped down, and its aroma spread wildly in all directions as if it had grown wings.

"It smells so good!"

A voice suddenly came from the side.

Huo Yuhao looked up and saw a handsome young man with a cold demeanor slowly walking out of the forest, his eyes fixed intently on the fish on his grill.

It was Ye Linyi who had been waiting there in advance.

"Young man, are you selling this grilled fish?" Ye Linyi asked, swallowing hard as he looked at the grilled fish in Huo Yuhao's hand.

Huo Yuhao scratched his head shyly: "Sorry, I'm not selling."

Ye Linyi immediately showed a regretful expression.

But the next second, Huo Yuhao smiled and said sincerely, "However, I can treat you to a meal."

Ye Linyi's eyes lit up instantly, and he plopped down beside him, saying, "Really? Thank you so much, young man!"

Huo Yuhao nodded, picked up a skewer of grilled fish that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and handed it over.

Ye Linyi didn't hold back and bit down immediately.

One bite revealed a crispy outer layer, tender meat, and a savory flavor that made his eyes squint with delight.

As expected of the innate "Grilled Fish Saint Body," it lives up to its name.

"By the way, my name is Ye Linyi. What's yours, young man?"

"My name is Huo Yuhao."

Just as the two finished introducing themselves, footsteps echoed from the nearby woods, accompanied by an undisguised exclamation: "It smells so good!"

Ye Linyi and Huo Yuhao stopped what they were doing and looked up at the same time.

Two young figures, a man and a woman, walked side by side.

The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a light blue outfit, with her black ponytail tied up high, exuding youthful energy.

The boy beside her was the same age, with short blond hair, a refined demeanor, and gentle features.

It was Tang Ya and Bei Bei who came to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain spirit rings.

The two men quickly approached. Tang Ya's nose twitched, and her eyes were fixed on the grilled fish: "Young men, are you selling your grilled fish?"

Ye Linyi waved his hand and pointed at Huo Yuhao: "The fish is his, you can ask him."

Tang Ya immediately moved closer to Huo Yuhao, her big eyes blinking brightly: "Little brother, are you selling it or not?"

Huo Yuhao's face flushed slightly, and he repeated, "Not for sale."

Tang Ya's face immediately fell, looking disappointed: "Okay..."

"But I can treat you to a meal," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

Tang Ya suddenly looked up, her eyes instantly lighting up like light bulbs: "Really?!"

Huo Yuhao smiled, picked up a skewer of freshly grilled fish, and handed it over.

Tang Ya immediately took it and started nibbling on it.

Beibei, standing beside her, smiled helplessly and whispered, "Xiaoya, eat slowly. No one's going to take it from you."

He then looked at the two of them, cupped his hands and smiled gently: "I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Beibei, and this is Tang Ya. It's a pleasure to meet you two young men."

"My name is Huo Yuhao."

"My name is Ye Linyi."

The group chatted as they waited for their grilled fish.

Tang Ya swiftly finished the first string of vegetables in a flash, eagerly awaiting the next one.

Looking at her like this, Beibei felt both helpless and doting.

He turned to Ye Linyi and struck up a conversation: "Brother Ye, are you also here in the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings?"

"No," Ye Linyi replied, shaking his head.

Bei Bei was slightly taken aback, and then she and Ye Linyi looked at Huo Yuhao at the same time.

Huo Yuhao nodded: "Yes, I'm here to obtain my first spirit ring."

Beibei's eyes lit up, and she immediately extended a warm invitation: "That's perfect! We're also going to hunt for spirit rings, why don't we go together? We can look out for each other."

Huo Yuhao shook his head, somewhat shy but firm: "No need, thank you, Brother Bei Bei, I want to try it myself."

"Okay, then be careful." Beibei didn't press the matter.

He then looked at Ye Linyi: "Brother Ye, are you planning to leave the Star Dou Great Forest next?"

"Yes, I'm going to register at Shrek Academy." Ye Linyi nodded slightly.

Beibei was instantly startled, her voice becoming excited: "Brother Ye, you said you're going to register at Shrek Academy?!"

Ye Linyi nodded in confusion: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"What a coincidence!" Beibei exclaimed with a smile. "Xiaoya and I are both students at Shrek Academy, and we're in our third year this year!"

Ye Linyi feigned sudden realization, cupped his hands and smiled, "Oh? Then I must call you Senior Bei Bei."

"No, no, no, that's too formal," Beibei quickly waved her hand. "Just call me Beibei."

"it is good."

Ye Linyi smiled, lowered his head, and continued to devour the fragrant grilled fish in his hand.

A warm breeze swept through the woods, carrying the aroma of grilled fish, and the boys' encounter began.
