Chapter 1 Awakening Memories, Intercepting Electrolux
Douluo Continent, on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
On the top of a large tree, Dai Huabin held a soul-guided telescope, staring at a wooden sign a hundred meters away.
The wooden sign reads: "Fifty miles ahead, you will enter the Star Dou Great Forest. Soul beasts may appear. Please be careful."
Looking at the wooden sign, Dai Huabin thought to himself:
"As long as the plot doesn't get messed up, Huo Yuhao will definitely go in from here and obtain the two great opportunities, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and the Electrolux."
Yes, the current Dai Huabin is no longer the same Dai Huabin as before.
Whether it was a transmigration and possession, or the awakening of memories from a past life, he himself couldn't figure it out. If it was possession, then the original owner's memories and experiences were all so real.
But none of that matters.
After awakening his memories, Dai Huabin immediately confirmed the timeline: Huo Yun'er was dead, Huo Yuhao had just left the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and Shrek Academy was about to start its semester.
After determining the timeline, Dai Huabin immediately went to the Starlight Auction House to bid for the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife, and then rushed here to guard Huo Yuhao, intending to use the Life Gold to lure Electrolux over!
Although Dai Huabin also coveted the spiritual essence of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, he did not possess a spiritual martial soul.
Even though his soul became much stronger after awakening his memories, it still couldn't catch the eye of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
Electrolux is different.
This necromancer saint from the Throne of Gods not only guided and enlightened Huo Yuhao in the original work, but also helped him open the Eye of Life with the Gold of Life, created the Soul Spirit system, and even sacrificed his own life to help Huo Yuhao protect the Snow Empress, making the Snow Empress Huo Yuhao's Soul Spirit.
This is exactly the kind of teacher Dai Huabin wants right now.
A short while later, in the camera's view, a thin boy dressed in coarse cloth appeared cautiously in front of the warning sign.
His short blue hair was somewhat messy, he carried a tattered bag on his back, and clutched a short blade in his hand.
That short blade was indeed the White Tiger Dagger.
Dai Huabin put down his binoculars and rubbed his sore arms.
Huo Yuhao, the wait is finally over.
Judging by the time, Huo Yuhao should have just parted ways with Tang Ya and Bei Bei and was about to enter the Star Dou Great Forest.
Dai Huabin nimbly leaped down from the tree and, using the bushes for cover, followed at a distance.
A distance of over a hundred meters is more than enough for a three-ring Soul Master to conceal their presence.
Huo Yuhao, with his level 10 soul power, was completely unaware that he was being followed.
As for the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Dai Huabin never thought he could hide it from this giant insect.
Huo Yuhao walked slowly ahead, looking left and right with every step.
Suddenly, the treetops beside them shook violently. A dark shadow darted out, lunging straight at Huo Yuhao's face.
"Godslayer" Wind Baboon!
Dai Huabin stopped and leaned against a thick camphor tree, quietly watching the movements ahead.
Huo Yuhao was clearly startled and, in a panic, swung out the White Tiger Dagger.
Just then, the surrounding temperature plummeted.
A thick layer of frost formed on the ground, and the cold air spread in all directions.
Dai Huabin shuddered and rubbed his arms.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is about to be released.
A dazzling white light burst forth from the ground in the open space ahead.
In the white light, a huge, round, and plump silkworm appeared.
It was surrounded by ten golden patterns, radiating a terrifying aura.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm circled Huo Yuhao twice, sizing up the human who was about to become its host.
Then, it transformed into a beam of white light and pierced directly into Huo Yuhao's brow.
Huo Yuhao's eyes rolled back, and he completely fainted.
The sky darkened without warning.
A dark crack appeared in mid-air, and a gale howled out.
A gray ball of light squeezed out from the gap and hovered in mid-air.
"Holding the sun and moon in my hands and plucking stars from the sky, there is no one like me in this world! I never thought that I would still have a wisp of my soul left."
A voice filled with boundless arrogance echoed through the forest.
Electrolux is here!
Dai Huabin perked up and took out a specially made lead box from his storage soul guide.
The gray ball of light in mid-air paused briefly, preparing to fly towards Huo Yuhao's direction.
With quick reflexes, Dai Huabin yanked open the lid of the lead box with a "snap".
Inside the box lay a carving knife emanating black energy. It was the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife.
The moment the lid was opened, the gray ball of light in mid-air abruptly stopped.
Electrolux made a turn in the air and headed straight for Dai Huabin, instantly burrowing into Dai Huabin's forehead.
Dai Huabin felt a cool sensation in his mind, and then there was no more sound.
It's done!
He quickly closed the lead box and stuffed it back into the storage soul guide.
In the distance, Huo Yuhao still lay unconscious on the ice.
Dai Huabin didn't even glance at him before turning and leaving.
Kill Huo Yuhao? Don't be ridiculous.
That is the chosen one of destiny in the Douluo Continent.
We can only proceed gradually.
Dai Huabin quickened his pace and retreated towards the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
After walking for about ten miles, a loud rustling sound suddenly came from the bushes ahead.
A foul stench wafted over.
Dai Huabin immediately stopped, bent his knees slightly, and assumed a defensive stance.
A large, dark green snake, nearly four meters long, darted out of the forest.
Its scales shimmered with a metallic sheen, its head was triangular, and it had a scarlet tongue sticking out of its mouth.
Thousand-year-old mandala snake!
The guy looked rather disheveled, with several obvious burn marks on his body, clearly indicating that it had just been beaten up and was running for its life.
When the mandala snake saw Dai Huabin blocking its way, its vertical pupils gleamed with ferocity, and it opened its blood-red maw to bite.
"court death."
Dai Huabin snorted coldly and began to circulate his soul power.
"White Tiger, possess me!"
His bones cracked and popped as he instantly grew taller. His muscles bulged, stretching his clothes taut.
White hairs grew from under the skin, and a clear "王" (king) character appeared on the forehead.
Yellow, yellow, purple.
Three spirit rings rose from beneath Dai Huabin's feet.
Faced with the oncoming mandala snake, Dai Huabin advanced instead of retreating.
The first spirit ring lit up.
White Tiger Protector!
A layer of white light enveloped his entire body.
The third spirit ring then lit up.
White Tiger Vajra Transformation!
His body swelled again, his muscles bulged, and his hands transformed into large tiger claws with protruding nails that gleamed with a chilling light.
All attributes instantly double.
The mandala snake bit into the white tiger's protective barrier, making a teeth-grinding scraping sound.
The light shield shook violently, but did not break.
Dai Huabin raised his right claw and slammed it hard on the mandala snake's vital spot.
The immense force slammed the mandala snake into the ground, creating a shallow crater.
The mandala snake, in pain, writhed wildly, its thick tail lashing out at Dai Huabin's waist with a whistling sound.
Dai Huabin reached out with his left hand and precisely grabbed the snake's tail.
"Get up!"
With a loud shout, he used his strength to lift the more than four-meter-long snake and slam it heavily against a nearby tree trunk.
The tree snapped in two.
The mandala snake collapsed to the ground, gushing blood from its mouth; it was clear it was doomed.
Dai Huabin withdrew his hand, preparing to step forward and deliver the final blow.
"Friend, please have mercy!"
A clear male voice came from behind the woods not far away.
Dai Huabin paused, then turned to look.
A man and a woman pushed aside the bushes and ran out, panting.
The boy was fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a blue outfit, handsome, and had short, dark blue hair.
The woman was about the same age as him and was wearing a light blue long dress.
She had long black hair styled in a ponytail, fair skin, and delicate, pretty features.
She was running a little too fast, her cheeks were slightly flushed, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her chest was heaving violently.
Dai Huabin raised an eyebrow.
This setup, this appearance, and the way it looks like it's chasing after a mandala snake.
Tang Ya and Bei Bei.
It's true what they say, you never know where you'll meet someone in life.
"Brother, we spotted this mandala snake first and chased it for quite a while." Bei Bei stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and spoke politely.
Tang Ya nodded repeatedly, her eyes fixed on the mandala snake on the ground, filled with heartache.
"Thank goodness... thank goodness it's not dead," Tang Ya muttered softly.
Although Dai Huabin recognized the two, he remained in his Martial Soul Possession state.
He remained cautious as he spoke:
"May I ask who you two are?"
When Bei Bei saw the three spirit rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—at Dai Huabin's feet, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Such a young Soul Master?
White Tiger Martial Soul?
Are they from the Dai family of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion in the Star Luo Empire?
