Chapter 4: Don’t Speak Ill of Tang San

Chapter 4: Don't Speak Ill of Tang San

Tianmeng Iceworm pondered for a moment, feeling that the issue likely wasn't with this human. After all, from its perception, this human was incredibly weak.

So… could it be that there was a small flaw in its plan?

Even though it had simulated and refined its god making plan for many years learning from the failure that once caused a Titled Douluo to explode it still lacked real world experience.

After all, theoretical simulations and actual practice were two very different things.

"This is a bit troublesome. If I can't access this human's memories, I might need more time to understand his personality and nature."

With that in mind, Tianmeng Iceworm decided to try again. It once more activated its spiritual power, attempting to access the human's memories. This time, it detected a large influx of memories emerging from his spiritual sea.

"So your name is Huo Yuhao, and you come from Duke White Tiger's Mansion…" Tianmeng Iceworm gradually received Huo Yuhao's memories, assuming that whatever mistake had occurred in its plan had now corrected itself.

Meanwhile, in the spiritual sea, Huo Yuhao let out a quiet sigh of relief. He had just manipulated the golden light again, selectively releasing some of the original Huo Yuhao's memories. As for his pre transmigration memories? Those were absolutely off limits to Tianmeng Iceworm.

Of course, the reason he didn't reveal his original host's memories at the start was to test whether the golden light truly worked.

"Where is this place? What exactly do you want to do?" Huo Yuhao asked, putting on an act despite knowing the plot.

"This is your spiritual sea. As for what I want…" Tianmeng Iceworm began explaining its origins and why it wished to become a wisdom soul ring.

Noticing the growing shock on Huo Yuhao's face, it dropped an even bigger bombshell. "Once I become your wisdom soul ring, your first soul ring will grant you four soul skills!"

"Four soul skills?!" Huo Yuhao feigned extreme astonishment.

"Of course!" Tianmeng Iceworm said smugly. "I'm a million year soul beast, after all! A wisdom soul ring is on a completely different level from ordinary soul rings.

"And I can confidently tell you that I am the first being on the Douluo Continent to ever become a million year soul beast. It's an indescribable feeling beyond words, yet absolutely true."

"If that's the case, then I'm gaining an incredible advantage," Huo Yuhao said.

"Now you're getting it! With me around, you'll be able to eat and drink well from now on! Not only that, but I'm also giving you a second martial soul.

"However, this martial soul only has an ice attribute but no form. Don't worry, though once you're strong enough, I'll help you solve that problem!" Tianmeng Iceworm said confidently.

I get it, I get it. All I have to do is find the Ice Empress! Huo Yuhao thought to himself. Then she'll become my second martial soul.

To this day, he still didn't understand why Tianmeng Iceworm fell in love with the Ice Empress at first sight. Logically speaking, the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan was the natural enemy of the Iceworm Clan. Falling for a natural predator was definitely weird.

But in the end, the Ice Empress really did end up with Tianmeng Iceworm. So for Tianmeng, it was a dream come true.

"Alright, there are two humans approaching outside. You should wake up now," Tianmeng Iceworm said, dismissing him.

Darkness filled Huo Yuhao's vision.

When Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Tang Ya's bright, delicate face.

At that moment, she spoke in relief. "Xiao Yuhao, you're finally awake!"

She helped him sit up, letting him lean against a tree. "If you had stayed unconscious any longer, I was going to take you to Shrek City for treatment. But since you're awake now, it looks like you're fine."

"Big Sister Xiao Ya, thank you," Huo Yuhao said immediately.

"It's nothing." Tang Ya waved her hand dismissively.

"Hahaha, Yuhao, you have no idea how worried Teacher Xiao Ya was when you passed out. After all, your grilled fish skills are top tier," Bei Bei joked with a laugh.

"You talk too much," Tang Ya muttered, her face turning slightly red. She reached out and pinched Bei Bei's arm. Feeling a sharp pain, Bei Bei quickly said, "Teacher Xiao Ya, I was just speaking the truth!"

"By the way, Yuhao, why did you come to the Great Star Dou Forest? Were you here to hunt soul beasts?" Bei Bei's gaze fell on the Wind Baboon's corpse nearby. He had some suspicions but wasn't entirely sure yet.

"Yes." Huo Yuhao didn't deny it. He nodded. "I hunted the Wind Baboon, absorbed its soul ring, and became a soul master."

"What's your martial soul?" Tang Ya asked eagerly.

"My martial soul is the Spirit Eyes. It's a spiritual type martial soul," Huo Yuhao replied with a smile.

"A spiritual type martial soul?" Tang Ya looked at Huo Yuhao in surprise. "That's quite rare! Xiao Yuhao, have you decided what path you want to take in the future?"

"I have," Huo Yuhao nodded.

Tang Ya was momentarily stunned, instinctively glancing at Bei Bei. With just a look, she tried to convey: What do we do now? Since they were a long time couple, Bei Bei instantly understood.

She had been expecting Huo Yuhao to say that he hadn't figured out his future yet. Then, she could naturally invite him to join the Tang Sect. But his answer had caught her off guard.

Bei Bei also furrowed his brows slightly. Normally, a child like Huo Yuhao should be confused about their future. After all, any soul master who entered the Great Star Dou Forest alone clearly had no strong background.

If he did have a background, his elders would never have allowed him to do something so dangerous.

But when he saw Tang Ya's hopeful expression, Bei Bei thought for a moment and said, "Then, could you tell us what you plan to do?"

"Since my mother passed away and my father doesn't care about me, I want to seek refuge with my relatives," Huo Yuhao replied casually, making up a reason on the spot.

"Seek refuge with relatives? Actually, Teacher Xiao Ya wants to invite you to join the Tang Sect. Every year, the Tang Sect has a reserved admission slot for Shrek Academy. This year's slot is still available. If you join the Tang Sect, the spot is yours.

"In comparison, this is a much better opportunity than staying with relatives," Bei Bei said persuasively.

"Tang Sect? Shrek Academy?!" Huo Yuhao's face lit up with well timed astonishment.

On the Douluo Continent, both the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were legendary. In particular, the "heroic" deeds of Tang Sect's founder, Tang San, were known by nearly everyone.

"That's right! Our Tang Sect was founded by Ancestor Tang San himself," Tang Ya said proudly, puffing out her chest. "Ancestor Tang San was a great hero! I grew up listening to his stories!

"And not only that, he brought Shrek Academy to unimaginable heights! To me, Ancestor Tang San is the embodiment of justice, perfection, and invincibility!"

Huo Yuhao struggled to keep a straight face, barely stopping himself from laughing.

There's no doubt about it the Tang Sect's portrayal of Tang San is definitely biased. Basically, it's "don't speak ill of Tang San" propaganda. Ten thousand years have passed, and any of the God King's dark deeds have long been buried by time.
