Chapter 27 You're being irresponsible to yourself.
When Huo Yuhao heard someone calling him in this godforsaken place, he froze instantly, his whole body tensing up like prey targeted by a hunter.
But then Huo Yuhao felt that the voice was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
He slowly turned around, his gaze falling on two figures approaching from the air. When he saw the familiar figure with a cool, silver-blue aura, he was slightly stunned at first, and then his tense shoulders and neck slowly relaxed.
"Senior... what are you doing here?" Huo Yuhao asked somewhat guiltily, like a student who had just been caught by the teacher for making a mistake.
He didn't know what his senior was doing here. He only knew that he had secretly run to the far north and hadn't told anyone when he came.
"I came here to hunt for spirit rings, but you haven't answered my question yet. What are you doing here all alone as a level 20 spirit master?" Jiang Che spoke the truth, not afraid of Huo Yuhao finding out. He was fearless of anyone now.
"Uh..." Huo Yuhao was a little at a loss, not knowing what to say. He couldn't very well say that he came here to obtain a second martial soul.
Huo Yuhao was pondering how to answer Jiang Che's question when he suddenly realized something: his senior had said they came here to hunt for spirit rings, but he already had eight. Didn't that mean…
"Senior, you...you've broken through to the Title Douluo level!" Huo Yuhao asked in shock.
"Your brain reacted pretty well, you figured it out?" Jiang Che looked at Huo Yuhao with a smile.
Huo Yuhao was so shocked he could hardly close his mouth. At this time, he was just a good-for-nothing who had left the Duke's mansion less than a year ago. Although he had met Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and studied at Shrek Academy for a year, he had never seen much of the world. Suddenly seeing a Title Douluo who was ten years older than him, he felt that his brain was not enough to process it.
A 22-year-old Title Douluo?
What does this mean?!
Huo Yuhao's mind raced through the legendary tales of the original Shrek Seven Devils from ten thousand years ago. Even Tang San, the leader of the Seven Devils and the Sea God, had never reached such a peak at this age. Now, a living legend stood right before him.
"Alright, stop spacing out. You still haven't told me why you're here. What, are you afraid your senior will eat you?" Jiang Che asked Huo Yuhao again.
Huo Yuhao shuddered, his shock instantly replaced by a hint of panic, his eyes darting away, unable to meet Jiang Che's gaze.
"Um... senior, I just... just came out to train a bit, to see if I can encounter some rare soul beasts, broaden my horizons, and also to see if there are any suitable soul beasts to hunt." His voice grew softer and softer, the last few words almost as faint as a mosquito's buzz, even he himself felt he lacked confidence.
This statement is riddled with flaws, and almost no one would believe it, not even Jiang Che.
Huo Yuhao wasn't stupid; he knew that the excuse he came up with on the spot wasn't very credible, but he couldn't tell the truth.
At worst, he'd get a scolding from Jiang Che and then obediently admit his mistake. That would be better than having a million-year-old soul beast discovered in his head.
"Nonsense!"
Jiang Che's face suddenly darkened, and his low shout carried a chilling authority. It sounded like a thunderclap to Huo Yuhao's ears, making him tremble violently. He lowered his head even further and didn't dare to breathe.
Jiang Che's reaction was exactly what Huo Yuhao had expected, but instead of being happy, he was somewhat disappointed. After all, Jiang Che had seen him, so his idea of acting alone was completely ruined.
"Brother Tianmeng! Brother Tianmeng! Wake up! What should I do now?" Huo Yuhao woke up the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm that was sleeping in his sea of consciousness.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, slumbering deep within the Sea of Spirit, was startled awake by the urgent shouts. With a touch of drowsy laziness, it slowly responded, "Don't shout, don't shout, it's too noisy. I've only been sleeping for a short while..."
"Wake up! Something terrible has happened! I've been discovered! Help me think of something!" Huo Yuhao was extremely anxious.
"What's the panic? In this far north, with me here, how could I let you fall into danger? I want to see who dares to cause trouble for my little Yuhao..." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't take it seriously and subconsciously released a wisp of spiritual power to probe the outside world. But as soon as it probed, the originally relaxed aura instantly froze, all the laziness disappeared, and it was replaced by extreme tension and unbelievable horror.
Huo Yuhao felt his sea of consciousness suddenly become still, and the aura of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm seemed to be cut off, leaving no sound at all.
"Brother Tianmeng, Brother Tianmeng! What's wrong with you?" Huo Yuhao called out a few more times in confusion when he heard Tianmeng Bingcan stop halfway through her sentence, but no matter how he called, Tianmeng Bingcan did not respond to him.
At this moment, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was staring blankly at the beautiful figure beside Jiang Che. Just now, while asking Huo Yuhao what had happened, he was also exploring the outside world, and as a result, he saw that the Ice Emperor he had been thinking about day and night had actually appeared in front of him.
"Now that you've broken through and want to hunt for a spirit ring, you should tell the academy. They'll arrange for a senior or teacher to accompany you." It seemed like Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had been talking for a long time, but actually only a few breaths had passed outside.
"Look at you, all alone, and only level 20, you've come to this far north. Don't you know that even Soul Saint level experts wouldn't set foot in this far north unless absolutely necessary?"
"As a student of Shrek Academy, we have an obligation to help you with any reasonable request. Besides, I remember you're a spirit-type soul master, right? Spirit-type soul beasts are rare, but they're not uncommon in the Star Dou Great Forest. Why did you insist on coming to this place? Isn't that irresponsible of you?"
……
Jiang Che didn't know how long he scolded Huo Yuhao, but after he finished, he said, "Never mind, since we've seen you, it must be fate. Let's go."
Huo Yuhao suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion: "Go? Where to?"
Jiang Che glanced at him, his silver-blue robes fluttering in the cold wind, his tone unwavering: "Where are you going? Didn't you say you were going to hunt for spirit rings? I've already seen you. Do you think I'd let you go hunting for spirit rings alone?"
"Ah, oh, oh." Knowing he couldn't escape, Huo Yuhao readily agreed.
As soon as he agreed, Jiang Che grabbed Huo Yuhao's clothes. Before Huo Yuhao could react, Jiang Che took Huo Yuhao and flew up, with Bingdi following behind.
"Senior, should we just fly over there to find it?"
"Nonsense! My mental power range is very wide. As long as a mental-type soul beast appears within my range, I can detect it. Do you expect me to search for it slowly and practically with you?"
Huo Yuhao also realized that his perspective was too narrow, and he simply couldn't understand the thoughts of the strong.
