Chapter 445: The Conflict Between Two People?
Hearing Orange declare that she possessed three martial souls, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Due to the various changes in his fate, he had yet to obtain the three martial souls he had seen in the future video.
But Orange?
All she did was find a single fragment, and now she had three martial souls?
At this rate…
It felt like she was the real Child of Destiny instead of him.
…
After demonstrating her twin martial souls, Orange finally expressed her true desire
She wanted to officially become Elder Ye's disciple and follow him to learn directly from him.
But
Elder Ye simply shook his head and refused.
"Through the Flying Rainbow Sword fragment, you have already obtained my legacy."
"And with the additional traits granted to you by that fragment, you have gained your twin martial souls."
"If you cultivate properly, becoming a god will not be your limit even the rank of God King may not be impossible for you."
"I have nothing left to teach you."
"But…"
Orange grew anxious, wanting to say something, but Elder Ye cut her off.
"There is no need to insist. You and I may not share the name of master and disciple, but we have long since established the bond of one."
"Titles are insignificant why bother?"
Hearing this, Orange felt a rush of joy
A feeling of being acknowledged by her idol.
Her desire to become his student wasn't about gaining more power or securing his protection
She genuinely wanted to be his disciple.
…
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao secretly felt relieved.
Even he hadn't been able to formally acknowledge Elder Ye as his master yet.
If Orange had been accepted so easily, that would have been a huge blow to his confidence.
Elder Ye turned to Orange and spoke with a solemn tone.
"You have inherited my legacy, which means you have embarked on a path of self reliance."
"If you rely too much on others, you will never grow strong on your own."
"What you need right now is not a teacher."
"What you lack is experience a deeper understanding of this world."
"Following me will not help you grow."
"Do you understand?"
Orange nodded.
Although she felt a bit disappointed, she understood that he was right.
If one never left their comfort zone, they would never achieve true growth.
She had seen it for herself in the dream
The man she admired, City Lord Bai Yun, had endured twenty years of suffering and hardship after losing his home and family.
That was what forged him into the God of Humanity.
If he had simply stayed under his mother's protection, growing step by step as an ordinary Spirit Master…
Would he have ever reached such great heights?
…
Seeing that she understood, Elder Ye nodded in satisfaction.
"That fragment is of no more use to you."
"Hand it over to me."
"Yes."
Although she felt a slight reluctance, Orange did not hesitate.
She lifted her arm
And then
In front of Huo Yuhao's shocked eyes…
She slashed her own wrist with the Flying Rainbow Sword!
"What are you doing?!"
Huo Yuhao was stunned
Did she just injure herself on purpose?
Was she trying to gain Elder Ye's sympathy?
But then
He realized the truth.
Amidst the gushing blood, a crystal clear fragment emerged from her wound!
Huo Yuhao's eyes widened in disbelief.
"She… she actually embedded the fragment into her own flesh?!"
Could it be…
Was this how she gained Elder Ye's legacy and awakened twin martial souls?!
The thought sent his mind racing.
If that were true…
Then once he obtained a fragment, should he try the same method?
After all
Who would say no to more martial souls?
…
Orange ignored her bleeding wound, enduring both pain and blood loss without even blinking.
She reached into the gash, carefully extracting the fragment.
Despite being soaked in blood, the crystal remained pure and untarnished, emitting a brilliant radiance.
As soon as the fragment was removed, something miraculous happened
Her wound began to heal instantly.
In just a few seconds, her skin was restored, leaving no trace of injury.
She hadn't even used soul power or healing abilities.
It was purely her body's natural regeneration a result of the fragment's modifications.
By now, Orange's bloodline was no longer that of an ordinary human.
In some ways
She had become even stronger than some gods.
…
Elder Ye took the fragment, and in an instant
His once fading figure solidified, as if he had been rejuvenated by the energy.
He nodded approvingly.
Then, noticing the slight disappointment on Orange's face, he smiled.
"Since you have helped me recover a fragment, it is only fair that I reward you."
"Teacher, that's not necessary!"
Orange immediately refused.
But Elder Ye ignored her protests.
He simply raised a finger, and a tiny ray of light flew into her forehead.
In an instant, countless memories and insights surged into her mind
Then, just as quickly, they sealed themselves away.
Orange had braced herself for an overwhelming headache
But to her surprise, nothing happened.
Seeing her confusion, Elder Ye explained.
"What I have given you is the knowledge of a Spirit Master after becoming a god."
"For now, you cannot access it."
"But in the future when you reach the necessary level you will be able to unlock it naturally."
"Thank you, Teacher!"
Orange immediately bowed in gratitude, her face overflowing with joy.
She had never expected that by returning the fragment, she would gain something even greater in return.
…
Orange left.
Huo Yuhao watched her disappearing figure, feeling conflicted.
Because…
Strictly speaking
They were enemies.
His biological father was her father's murderer.
And she was determined to seek revenge.
…
Huo Yuhao didn't care much for his father.
In fact, he even resented him.
If someone wanted to kill the White Tiger Duke, he might even hand them a knife.
After all, patricide was a crime he did not want to bear.
If Orange killed his father, he would probably applaud her.
She would be doing what he couldn't.
But once she succeeded…
He would be forced to confront a harsh reality
She would become his father's killer.
And then what?
Was he supposed to seek revenge?
But…
He didn't want revenge.
Yet if he let it go, it would feel wrong.
After all
No matter what, that man was still his father.
This was an unresolvable conflict.
A blood feud that could never be erased.
This was why, deep down, Huo Yuhao knew
There could never be anything between them.
Because some things could never be reconciled.
And so
When Elder Ye rejected her request to become his disciple, Orange left without hesitation.
