In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 440 Tang San heads towards the setting sun, Yu Hao reaches the far north

After waiting for a while, there was no response.

"He's still not here after all..."

In the dormitory, Tang San couldn't help but smile wryly as he looked at the door.

He didn't believe that his father would remain unmoved after he revealed his father's true identity.

The current result only proves that his father was not paying attention to him.

So...

Where is Tang Hao right now? And what is he doing?

Tang San had no way of knowing.

There were no reports of attacks on the Spirit Halls in various parts of the continent in this life. The last time Tang San saw Tang Hao's figure from afar was the last time... cough, that was the night Zhao Wuji got beaten up during the Shilaike entrance exam.

Now, besides secretly protecting him as he grows up, what else can his father do?

Tang San was filled with doubt.

Meanwhile, somewhere on the mainland, Tang Ritian, who was undergoing the Rakshasa God Trial, sneezed...

Tang San looked at the simple dormitory in silence for a long time, and finally seemed to have made up his mind.

She suddenly stood up, and her bracelet-shaped storage soul tool flashed with light as she stored some daily necessities.

Finally, he opened the door, walked out, glanced back at the dormitory, and closed the door without a second thought.

Snapped!

……

"What?!"

"Tang San, are you also going out to gain experience on your own for a while?"

In the teachers' office, Flander looked at Tang San in surprise, slammed his hand on the table, and stood up.

What does "also" mean?

Tang San looked puzzled upon hearing this.

"Is there anyone else besides me who also needs to go out and gain experience?"

"It's that kid Huo Yuhao. What, you didn't know? He followed me to my office after we separated, saying he wanted to go out and gain some experience, so I helped him get the necessary permits."

"Judging by the time, he should have already left Blue Tyrant Academy by now."

"I thought he had already said hello to you guys, but he just left without saying a word. Yuhao is such a loner..."

As Flander began to mutter to himself, Tang San's expression changed slightly.

Based on his understanding of Huo Yuhao, he suspected that Huo Yuhao's trip was not simply for training, but most likely had a specific purpose...

Forget it, they're gone, who cares?

It would be best if he died out there!

So as not to compete with him for his little Wu sister.

Tang San recalled the scenes of Huo Yuhao and Xiao Wu's interactions over the past few days, and his face darkened slightly as he felt a sense of unease.

Even though Xiao Wu was disfigured, he still loved her because he truly loved her.

And what about Huo Yuhao?

Why didn't that guy turn away like Dai Mubai and the other guys who coveted Xiao Wu and also sought death, just because Xiao Wu was disfigured?

He clearly remembered that Huo Yuhao was indifferent to Xiao Wu when she was still pretty, so why was he so attracted to her after she was disfigured...?

Could it be some kind of weird quirk?

Tang San's emotions surged, and without further thought, he quickly continued speaking to Flander:

"Well, Professor Flander, could you please help me get a certificate too?"

"You really want to go out? Fine. Anyway, your true strength doesn't really depend on your Martial Soul. With those weird things you call 'hidden weapons,' you should be able to fight even a Soul King. A Soul King is strong enough to make your way across the continent!"

Flander said while operating his hands.

"But when you leave, remember to say goodbye to your teacher and your friends. Don't be as aloof as Huo Yuhao."

"Um."

Tang San nodded.

Before long, his figure appeared outside Blue Tyrant Academy.

Tang San looked towards the east gate of Tiandou City, glanced at the storage soul tool on his wrist, pondered for a moment, and then walked towards the market.

After making some purchases at the market, Tang San soon hailed a carriage and headed towards the east gate of Tiandou City.

His destination was Sunset Forest!

There were some things Tang San couldn't keep to himself, so he wanted to find out what was going on.

Of course, he'll act within his capabilities; someone as cautious as him wouldn't recklessly court death...

……

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

At the border between the far north of the forbidden zone and the human realm, outside the frozen forest.

Huo Yuhao slowly walked out of the gate of Beidi City.

"Hey kid! You can walk around outside, but it's best not to go into the frozen forest beyond that. The far north is a no-go zone for humans!"

One of the soldiers guarding the city shouted loudly as he watched Huo Yuhao's retreating figure.

Huo Yuhao paused, turned his head and nodded slightly, then continued walking.

The soldiers behind him sighed when they couldn't persuade him otherwise.

His colleague patted him on the shoulder.

"Forget it, let him be. You can't reason with that damned fool!"

"..."

As Huo Yuhao walked further and further away, when he turned back, the snow was falling heavily, and he could only vaguely see the shadow of the northern city gate.

Just then, the voice of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm rang in his mind.

"Yuhao, to be honest, we can wait a few more years before planning for the second ice martial soul. At least we should wait until after your Soul Master Competition is over. Why rush things?"

Hearing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's words, Huo Yuhao shook his head and continued to move forward with determination.

"Brother Tianmeng, if you're slow on one step, you'll be slow on every step. I don't know why, but I have a strange feeling that this Soul Master Competition is very important. It's not just about honor; it seems to involve something intangible."

"I want to win, but the Royal Fighting Team, the Seven Dragon Girls Team, and even the Spirit Hall Team, which remains shrouded in mystery, are blocking my way. The current Shilake is not enough to deal with those opponents, so at least I need to become stronger first."

"But Yuhao, you know that given the current situation between humans and soul beasts, if you enter soul beast territory, you're very likely to be attacked by a group of soul beasts."

Huo Yuhao paused upon hearing this, as if he had thought of something, and then said calmly:

"Brother Tianmeng, have you forgotten my ancestor... Zhu Zhuqing? Back then, it was said that she traversed the Star Dou Great Forest alone, and remained unharmed for days in the territory of soul beasts. Am I not as good as her?"

"She was clearly just lucky..."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm made a comment.

Huo Yuhao smiled.

"My luck shouldn't be too bad either. Besides, I've done a lot of preparation for this operation."

As he spoke, he looked at his storage soul tool, which was faintly shimmering with light.

"Plus, with Brother Tianmeng here, the energy reserves accumulated over the years should be enough to restrain a powerful soul beast for a short period of time."

"...Let me make this clear first, Yuhao, you were definitely a bit too eager this time. If the second martial soul you get isn't 'Bingbing', don't blame me."

"Yes. But I will definitely do my best."

"Sigh... To be honest, if Hyotei and Yuki-tei had been reborn into this world with us, that would have been wonderful."

Huo Yuhao gazed into the distance and suddenly sighed.
