Chapter 58: Tian Meng and Yi Lai Ke Si
--- Chapter 58 ---
"Eh??"
"Wait, what?"
Tian Meng stared at the young human before her with a surprised gaze because he agreed too smoothly, which caused 1.000.000 years old to be more suspicious inside. She gauged Huo Yuhao from top to bottom, finding nothing evil related to him.
"My mom. She saw you in the past." Huo Yuhao lied as casually as he breathed.
With a smile, he added, "My mom can foresee the destiny and fate of someone, knowing you could help me. She hinted about a 1.000.000 years old Spirit Beast's existence in the Star Dou Forest, and I put the pieces together."
"T-There is such an amazing individual?" Tian Meng couldn't believe her ears for a moment. However, that also explained how this bizarre young man could be this calm before her majestic presence.
Huo Yuhao chuckled and answered, "Well, yeah."
Even though Huo Yuhao lied about Huo Yun'er seeing this event and gave him hints about Tian Meng's existence, the latter part of his statement is valid. And He could even ask Huo Yun'er to foresee someone's destiny, but that would break the taboo of her ability.
He gazed at the 1.000.000 years old Spirit Beast and smirked inside because she would be a perfect match for the Eyes of the Lord. "Do you need preparation? Also, Can I call you sister Meng then?" He asked with an innocent tone.
"Uh... You can call me Sister Daydream or Sister Meng." Tian Meng was overwhelmed by Huo Yuhao's innocent display of character. She cleared her throat and said, "Ehem, I've prepared myself for years and can't let this chance go away."
"Do you know just how rare a Spiritual-Based Martial Soul is? I tried to become a Title Douluo's spirit ring, and that person died because he couldn't withstand my power. Hmph! How unfortunate."
"And you, my little brother, are lucky because the previous failure showed me how to become the 1st ever conscious Spirit Ring."
Tian Meng started to rant about how great her power was and even lied a little about how she gained her cultivation. She's a "narcissistic." individual who could not lie very well, reminding Huo Yuhao of Naga when telling his "Epic." story.
'She would be a great friend with Naga.' Huo Yuhao thought while sensing a spatial disturbance in the sky. The black cloud gathered in the sky, turning the scenery more gloomy.
"And finally, when we met with Bing'er, we could start our plan to make you into A GOD."
"Fuu... Let's get started. And Before that, what's your name, little brother?" The Skydream Ice Worm questioned, which made Huo Yuhao laugh uncontrollably.
"Haha..."
"Hahaha!"
Huo Yuhao lifted his White Ogre Mask and replied, "My name is Huo Yuhao."
"O-Oh, you have quite a handsome face." Tian Meng was dumbfounded because she didn't know a human could be this pleasing to see. "I-It's close enough to match this sister's true beauty."
She slowly approached Huo Yuhao with her round head and released gentle spiritual energy to fit the Eyes of the Lord. With a swift motion, Tian Meng brought out her essence and merged it with Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.
Huo Yuhao frowned and used Haoshoku Haki to make things smoother because 1.000.000 years old Spirit Ring's essence is no joking matter. He absorbed a 1.000.000 years old spirit ring to the Chains of Heavens and had to meditate for a month.
BOOM!
A thunderclap echoed in the sky, and the spatial disturbance Huo Yuhao felt before became even more chaotic, creating a dimensional hole. He stayed still and waited for Tian Meng to sense it herself.
"KYAA~!" A yelp of surprise escaped Tian Meng's mouth.
"W-WHO! WHO DARES TO DISTURB THIS SISTER!"
BOOM!
Like responding to Tian Meng's enraged shouts, another loud thunderclap appeared and made a piece of will descend toward them. The 1.000.000 years old Spirit Beast tried to fight the unknown force, but it was a futile attempt.
Tian Meng created a spiritual shock that could fry one's brain into nothingness, but the piece of will retaliated and entered Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea. "HOW?!" She was speechless because this thing was more powerful than she expected.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao whistled casually inside and watched Tian Mang's panicked actions. It's amusing to see Tian Meng losing her mind over the piece of will. And that unknown force was known to be the scion of light before, so that reaction is understandable.
[Name: Yi Lai Ke Si]
[Type: Divine Spark(Weakened)]
[Age: 20.000+ years old(Estimated)]
[Description: Yi Lai Ke Si was once the holy woman and Scion of Light, but her life turned upside down after her lover and the whole world's betrayal. Changing the cheerful woman into abandoning the light that once bathed her in radiance turned to darkness-seeking power to execute her revenge and to wipe out the human species. She was also known as the Calamity Necromancer Electrolux]
Huo Yuhao sat on the ground and meditated to accept rampant energies from both forces. He breathed in and used Universal Breathing Technique to increase his mind's activity.
"Yuhao, you..." Tian Meng stared at Huo Yuhao with a surprised gaze. "You're a Spirit Sage?!?! How could I not know about this?"
The young man couldn't be bothered for a moment because Yi Lai Ke Si's Divine Spark is equal to or even more "powerful." than 1.000.000 years old Spirit Ring and replied, "I'll explain later."
"O-Okay." The Skydream Ice Worm could only awkwardly nod her head.
Huo Yuhao's Spirit Circuits grew and created thousands of sub-circuits, branching to all parts of his body. They are filled with pure Spirit Energy and refined thoroughly into pure strength under his skilled Breathing. Even with Ancient Human's Body enhanced with Divine Dragon and War Beast's inborn talent, the energy from Yi Lai Ke Si's Divine Spark was still excessive, showing just how powerful she was when in the past.
"W... Where am I?" A confused yet dreaded voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea. A ball of gray-colored light floated calmly above his Spiritual Energy's reservoirs, glowing with a dim ebony hue.
Huo Yuhao didn't expect the infamous teacher of the original Huo Yuhao would be a woman in this world. It's just like Tian Meng, whose gender was altered when he searched her location with RISU's radar.
"Recovery your Divine Spark first. Let's talk when you're able to communicate properly." Huo Yuhao added a Primordial Rune he learned from Scathach to isolate and nourish the Calamity Necromancer Electrolux's Divine Spark to recover using his Spiritual Energy.
The gray-colored lights flickered when sensing the Primordial Rune and replied, "Thank you..."
"You're welcome."
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and said, "Sister Daydream, you can do it now. Don't worry about the unknown force because I've dealt with it already."
"Really?" Tian Meng was happy. That annoying gray soul wanted to take over her host's spiritual sea, so how could she not be happy when hearing he was alright?
"Yeah." A chuckle comes from Huo Yuhao.
"I'm ready to accept your Spirit Ring, and let's be good partners for each other, Sister Daydream."
Cough!
"W-What are you talking about, Rascal?!" Tian Meng yelled because of the way Huo Yuhao praised his replies. She puffed her round cheeks, which appeared to be so adorable. The spirit beast doesn't realize that she looks like a round marshmallow with some blush. "H-Hmph! I found my true love years ago."
Huo Yuhao tilted his head and teased, "What are you talking about, Sister Daydream? Since you're going to be my first Spirit Ring for my martial soul, isn't it normal for me to hope for a good partnership as an equal partner? You were thinking about something dirty, didn't you?"
"Y-You... No, I'm not!" Tian Meng blushed even more while knocking her head onto Huo Yuhao. "Take my spirit ring, you rascal!"
"Sure, sure~." Huo Yuhao allowed the Skydream Ice Worm to pass through his Haki's Defense and merged herself with the Eyes of the Lord's martial soul. It would be a long process because Tian Meng doesn't seal her essence to match Huo Yuhao like in the original story, but he prepared for it. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝒷𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Scathach and Qianye Ying'er watched Huo Yuhao's interaction with the 1.000.000 years old spirit beast. "Mistress wouldn't like this. Huo Yuhao was somehow able to obtain another woman within a few hours of the journey." The former young lady frowned.
"It's two women, to be exact," Scathach casually commented because she could sense Calamity Necromancer Electrolux, a familiar presence to the people from the Land of Shadows. "I haven't thought about it, but is it possible to connect my domain to this world?"
"As long as I have the Primordial Key Rune, I should be able to open the Gate of Skye." The only thing that stopped Scathach from doing so was Counter Force's intervention and this world's Gods.
Qianye Ying'er rocked Scathach's shoulder gently and questioned, "What do you mean by two, Teacher?"
"Hmm... Huo Yuhao will tell you later." Scathach gave the blondie a smug smile.
...
...
After an hour, Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of bright azure-colored gems. A mystic hue on his pupils, shimmering with golden light. "Perfect." One word is coming from his mouth.
[Eyes of the Lord]
[1st Spirit Ring]
[Name: Tian Meng]
[Species: Spirit Beast/Living Spirit Ring]
[Age: 1.000.000 years old]
[Description: Skydream Ice Worm or Tian Meng is Huo Yuhao's first living spirit ring, she has Ice Element and Mental Attributes with extreme dominion over spiritual energy]
[Spirit Skills: Spiritual Detection, Spiritual Resonance, Spiritual Shock, Spiritual Interference]
Huo Yuhao doesn't use his Haki and could see everything within a 2 km radius with such detail. Falling raindrops from lush green leaves, a butterfly flapping its wings gently, and the air current around the Star Dou Forest. He felt like he was the ruler of this world.
"Yuhao?" fr eeweb novel
"Huh?"
Scathach and Qianye Ying'er were caught by Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Resonance, allowing them to see what he witnessed right now. They gasped in surprise for a moment because even Kennbunshoku Haki couldn't cover such a large domain. Even though the Kenbunshoku Haki let them see the future by predicting the incoming movement, Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection was on a whole other level.
Scathach pondered and commented, "Huo Yuhao's skill slowed down the perception of time. Perceives every detail in the environment, including muscle movements, motion vectors, spirit power, and distance to objects to the extreme boundary."
"It's just like..."
"Eyes of the God." Qianye Ying'er solemnly continued.
A pure white spirit ring with ten golden marks floated beside Huo Yuhao and manifested a golden-haired young lady in a white worm-like hoodie. She was no more than 17 with mid-length golden hair and a great figure covered by her clothes.
"Hehehe~! What do you think?" Tian Meng proudly puffed her chest. "My abilities are awesome, right."
"As expected of you, Sister Daydream." Huo Yuhao fed Tian Meng with praises, making her face beam with smugness.
Tian Meng grabbed Huo Yuhao's shoulders with her ethereal hands and confidently declared, "Little Brother Yuhao. Mark my words, I'll definitely turn you into A God~!"
