Chapter 68: The Eye of Destiny
To the Three Eyed Golden Lion, most of the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Forest were like her uncles and aunts.
And Di Tian, the one standing before her
Was akin to a foster father.
For as long as she could remember, she had been the little princess of the Star Dou Forest, free to roam anywhere.
But the human world…
That was strictly forbidden.
If she confessed her true intentions to Di Tian,
He would definitely stop her.
So
Lying was her only option!
Di Tian studied her expression carefully.
"Seclusion, huh… Fine. If that's what you want, then go ahead and train."
"I'll have Chi King prepare new stories for you in the meantime."
"Chi King has three heads, so he can think up three stories at once."
"His storytelling ability surpasses mine, but… he lacks my worldly experiences."
"I'll share some of my travels with him.
With my guidance, he should come up with something better for you to listen to after your seclusion."
The Three Eyed Golden Lion stiffened.
'Chi King's stories are terrible!'
'Even if Di Tian gives him more inspiration, it'll still be boring!'
"Th Thank you, Di Tian!"
She turned away guiltily, pretending to act normal.
Her mind was already set
She would find a chance to sneak out!
If she transformed into a human, she could easily blend in with them.
And by the time Di Tian noticed her absence,
It would already be too late.
Of course
Once her "fake seclusion" was exposed,
Di Tian would drag her back immediately.
Even the Beast God, ruler of all soul beasts, would probably support Di Tian's actions.
At that point
Di Tian might forbid her from leaving the core area entirely!
Di Tian smiled warmly, unaware of her true intentions.
He reached out and gently rubbed her head.
"It's fine.
We're family
No need to thank me for something so small.
When you finish your seclusion, I'll have Myriad Demon King prepare your favorite foods!"
"Mm!"
Huo Yuhao's Evolution Begins
Back in his room,
Huo Yuhao discussed his next steps with Electrolux, Skydream, and Ice Emperor.
Then, he sat down and activated the Blade of Life's Vigil.
Placing the blade against his forehead,
He immediately felt a surge of pure life energy flow into him!
A warm, comforting sensation washed over his entire body.
His muscles strengthened.
His meridians widened.
Impurities were expelled from his body.
It was as if his very soul was being reborn!
'This feels like shedding my mortal shell…
Like a true transformation!'
The blade dissolved into his forehead
Merging with the power he had obtained from the Three Eyed Golden Lion.
But
The process was painful.
He clenched his teeth, enduring the agony.
Moments later
A fully formed third eye opened on his forehead.
But something was different.
The Blade of Life's Vigil was ejected from his body.
Instead of merging with his third eye,
It had completed its role and separated.
Even Electrolux was unable to reside in Huo Yuhao's new Eye of Destiny.
However, thanks to the blade's Living Gold composition,
Electrolux had expanded Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea
Filling it with pure vitality.
This meant that
Even if Electrolux couldn't stay in the Eye of Destiny,
He could still draw energy from Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.
For now, he chose to reside within the blade,
As it provided even stronger nourishment.
Electrolux sighed.
"Your eye is now a true Eye of Destiny."
"With it, you can alter the fate of others."
Huo Yuhao nodded, pretending to listen intently.
Of course
He already knew this.
But he couldn't let Electrolux suspect he was a reincarnated traveler.
The unexpected benefit was that his spirit power had increased!
He was now at Rank 34
A powerful Soul Elder.
An Invitation from Meng Hongchen
Suddenly
A knock at the door.
Huo Yuhao, having just finished listening to Electrolux's explanation, walked over and opened it.
Standing outside was Meng Hongchen.
"Meng senior?"
Meng Hongchen smiled.
"Yuhao, the academy is having a group dinner today."
"Grandpa asked me to come get you."
"A dinner gathering?"
"Where's the Dean?"
"Grandpa and the others already left."
"So, I'll be escorting you there."
"But since the restaurant is slow, we can take our time."
"Maybe we can explore Star Luo City together and compare it to Mingdu?"
Huo Yuhao smiled.
"Alright, Meng senior."
He followed her out into the bustling streets.
Meanwhile, Elsewhere in Star Luo City…
Xu Sanshi strolled leisurely, fanning himself.
Beside him, Bei Bei walked silently.
"Bei Bei, we're best brothers, right?"
Bei Bei frowned.
"Xu Sanshi, did Jiang Nannan scold you so hard that your brain stopped working?"
"Of course, we're brothers!"
Xu Sanshi sighed dramatically.
"Then help me out, man!"
"I need some dating advice!"
"I feel like Nannan is ignoring me more and more lately…"
"I'd rather have her yell at me!"
"At least then I'd know she still cares about what I do!"
Bei Bei shook his head.
"Sanshi, what advice can I give you?"
"You know I've only ever loved one person Xiao Ya."
"Nannan and Xiao Ya are completely different types."
"I have no idea how to help you."
He sighed.
"Anyway, I came out to buy a gift for Xiao Ya."
"What about you?"
Xu Sanshi rubbed his chin.
"I was hoping to learn from you."
"I figured girls are all similar, right?"
"If I buy a gift, maybe Nannan will be happy too!"
"So, what are you getting? Maybe I'll copy you!"
Bei Bei's face darkened.
"I'm going to a metal shop to buy rare materials."
"Are you seriously going to buy metal for Nannan?"
In Bei Bei's mind, Tang Ya was obsessed with hidden weapons,
So precious metals were the best gift for her.
Certain rare metals could only be found in the Sun Moon Empire.
Because Star Luo was relatively close, some of these black market materials had made their way into the city.
This was his only chance to buy them.
Xu Sanshi fell into deep thought.
"Hmm… Nannan's martial soul is the Soft Bone Rabbit…"
"Maybe I should buy her a few Soft Bone Rabbits?"
Bei Bei took a deep breath.
"That is a terrible idea."
"Do you expect her to raise soul beasts in her dorm?"
"Or worse eat them?"
Xu Sanshi laughed.
"Actually, rabbit meat is delicious!"
"If she likes eating Soft Bone Rabbits, this might work out perfectly!"
Bei Bei rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
He looked around, trying to orient himself in the city.
Suddenly
He spotted a familiar figure.
Frowning, he called out.
"Huo Yuhao?"
