Chapter 1: It's reasonable for me to cheat, right?
Douluo Continent, outskirts of Star Luo City.
Starlight adorned the silver moon, and tranquility descended upon the earth with the silvery moonlight, utterly silent.
It's a beautiful night, and the moon is beautiful.
On the grassy hillside, a small figure knelt down helplessly, seemingly praying to the starry sky.
It was a child with tattered clothes, short black hair, a sallow and weak complexion, and dull, lifeless sapphire-like eyes.
He gazed at the beautiful starry sky, tears welling up in his eyes.
It's hard to believe that you would see such a suicidal thought in a five-year-old child.
Just then, a spatial gate was silently torn open, and a young man walked out from it.
The young man was extremely handsome and refined, with long, slightly graying blue hair casually draped behind his head. He possessed an indescribable otherworldly aura, and his eyes were clear, as if they could reflect the universe.
But what is most striking is the vertical eye on its forehead, which sparkles with a mysterious diamond-like light. However, the vertical eye is covered with cracks and looks as if it is about to break.
"..."
His eyes dimmed considerably, and he even seemed hesitant to look at the child. He knew this child all too well; the protagonist of this era, and also his past self.
The chosen ones of this era are practically the last hope for the Douluo Continent.
Huo Yuhao.
No, he is still called Dai Yuhao now, and he is at the lowest point in his life.
"This timeline starts at age five; there's still time!"
The God of Emotions casually brushed his hand across his face, and his originally handsome appearance disappeared, replaced by that of an ordinary middle-aged man.
He walked up to Huo Yuhao, ignoring Huo Yuhao's hostile and questioning gaze, and gave him a big smile.
"Hello little one, my name is... Bailidu."
……
One year later, on the outskirts of Star Luo City in Douluo Continent.
"Come on, Xiao Yuhao, put your hand on it, let's begin the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony."
The speaker was a middle-aged man in his thirties with short black hair. His appearance was not particularly remarkable, except for his eyes, which were bright and sparkling like the sun.
Standing in front of him was a six-year-old child dressed in a white outfit, which, while not high-end, was very clean.
It was none other than young Huo Yuhao.
A year has passed, and the child who once struggled to get enough to eat and wear has changed a lot: his face is no longer as sallow and weak as before, but extremely delicate, and you can hardly tell that he is a boy unless you look closely; his skin is also fair as a child of this age, and he has grown much taller, a world of difference compared to a year ago.
Since the Spirit Hall was destroyed ten thousand years ago by Tang San, the Sea God and Asura God, who was both impartial and incorruptible, the Douluo Continent, which originally belonged to the Three Kingdoms, did not continue this benefit. In this messed-up era, awakening a spirit requires money, and the price is not low, ten gold spirit coins.
Ten thousand years later, the Spirit Pagoda, founded by Huo Yuhao, took over the heavy responsibility of the Spirit Hall, providing free Spirit Awakening services to ordinary people on a large scale.
Twenty thousand years later, the life energy level and technology of Douluo Star are advanced enough that awakening a martial soul is no longer a big deal. With a little money, one can buy an instrument at home and awaken one on their own.
In this horizontal comparison, Huo Yuhao's era was indeed a mess. As for why it was so miserable, you'd have to ask Tang.
Of course, there are other methods. At this time, the major families or sects in Douluo Continent will conduct a ceremony to awaken their martial souls within their own clans.
For Huo Yuhao and his mother, the only advantage of being in the Duke's mansion was that they could take advantage of the benefits of such a powerful force and undergo martial soul awakening for free.
However, in Bailidu's memory, after he awakened the Spirit Eye Martial Soul at the age of six, he and his mother were exploited by Dai Hao's good wife for various reasons, and forced to pay back the awakening fee of ten gold soul coins.
Ten gold soul coins had considerable purchasing power in this era. It can be said that a large part of the reason why Huo Yuhao had such a miserable childhood was that he and his mother had to do all kinds of hard labor to earn money to pay off this debt.
Fortunately, I'm back now, and my mother and I don't need to do anything for her anymore.
Xiao Yuhao obediently nodded and gently placed his small, tender hand on the crystal ball.
Then he discovered that the soul power within his body was like finding a gate, surging wildly into it.
A blinding white light burst forth, and then with a "crack," the crystal ball suddenly shattered!
[Bai Li Du] immediately caught my eye.
Clearly, this is not a level 10 character with innate full soul power.
It's innate level 20! A god-level talent.
Those big blue eyes shone with golden light; unsurprisingly, they were Huo Yuhao's signature spiritual eyes.
Moreover, Baili Du could see very clearly that deep within Huo Yuhao's eyes were profound nine-colored ripples, which should be related to the power of emotions.
But what if...it's not just that?
Xiao Yuhao suddenly looked up and roared.
"……ah!"
The small body slowly grew longer and longer, and dark blue scales grew on it. Human features and aura slowly disappeared from it, replaced by... dragon features.
"hold head high!"
The dragon's roar wasn't loud, but it had an indescribable power of intimidation. The clear sky instantly darkened, as if the sun had been obscured.
His martial spirit then appeared.
A deep blue halo spread out from the center of Xiao Huo Yuhao's body, even his own figure was hidden in this halo, the whole courtyard seemed to be in a water town, the water rippled slightly, although it was an illusion, it was still overwhelmingly realistic.
A massive figure leaped out of the phantom water with a loud splash.
The dragon's head has a gentle yet majestic outline, with four magnificent horns on its head, each entwined with fine, deep purple electric light; its eyes are vertical, ice-blue pupils, as if they were ground from frozen ice, with a clear and sharp gaze; its fangs are a bright white, and when it bites, they release a white mist carrying a chill.
Its long, slender body, easily a hundred meters long, twisted, revealing its hind legs with hooked claws, and its whip-like tail drew a large arc. Its agile body shone with a bright, deep blue azure color, and from its head, back, to its tail, dragon scales that shimmered with a blue azure luster rose up, while four pairs of eight blue dragon wings extended at equal intervals.
It was impossible to tell whether it was a Western or Eastern dragon, and it was completely different from the original dragon species in the Douluo Continent, but the dragon's figure was so solemn and majestic.
The dragon's mouth opened wide, emitting a thunderous roar. Even the air became humid, as if lightning snakes were dancing wildly within it, as if a storm was about to break at any moment.
As we all know, when famous emperors and generals were born, there were always some strange celestial phenomena, such as a room filled with red light or dragons and phoenixes flying out. The most famous of these was Emperor Li Erfeng, the strongest carbon-based life form in the seventh century.
The same applies to the Douluo Continent. Once a martial soul awakens, it can change the celestial phenomena, which naturally means that the martial soul is very powerful.
Baili Du, standing to the side, narrowed his eyes and watched Huo Yuhao, who was awakening, with great interest, and nodded with satisfaction.
【Ultimate Water】plus 【Ultimate Lightning】, and... a pretty good combination. Once it merges with Brother Tianmeng, it should be able to turn water into ice.
His own blood essence and the dragon marrow of the [Dragon God] were not wasted; he directly obtained twin martial souls.
Moreover, both of them are god-level martial souls!
Nonsense, it's the essence of two God Kings after all. If we can't create a new Martial Soul, then there's a problem.
The current Huo Yuhao shows no trace of the [White Tiger Bloodline] traits; instead, he possesses another characteristic—[Dragon]!
Moreover, it is a dragon of quality no less than that of the Nine Great Dragon Kings! Its level is already very close to that of the Gold Dragon King or the Silver Dragon King.
Of course, it's not impossible to create a god-level martial soul for Huo Yuhao, such as the [God of Emotions] or something, but considering the destiny and marriage between Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er, he used his own original bloodline and a bit of the Dragon God's marrow to completely replace the original bloodline for little Yuhao, and also cleanse his marrow.
As one person, the fusion of bloodlines is naturally seamless, and as for that drop of Dragon God Marrow... Thinking of this, a cunning and treacherous smile appeared on Baili Du's face.
I wonder what kind of expression the second-generation Dragon God, who also traveled to this era, would have if he saw his uncle suddenly possess the bloodline of a Dragon God?
