Chapter 1: Star Forest
In the Star Dou Great Forest, Huo Yuhao slowly regained consciousness, his mind still a bit muddled.
"Where is this? I don't remember there being such a dense forest in the city. Wasn't I at home reviewing Level 4 English words?"
Huo Yuhao looked at the dense forest around him, thinking with some confusion.
About two or three minutes later, as the memories in his mind gradually merged, Huo Yuhao finally understood what had happened.
He had transmigrated into the protagonist of Douluo Dalu 2, Huo Yuhao.
"System, are you there? Can my transmigration identity be changed to Tang San?"
Thinking of the tragic life of the original Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao tentatively asked in his mind.
Before Huo Yuhao could figure out whether he had a system or not, Huo Yuhao heard a summons.
A force pulled Huo Yuhao into his Spirit Sea.
Entering his Spirit Sea, Huo Yuhao immediately saw the crystal ball suspended above.
It was simply that the light it emitted was too dazzling.
The moment Huo Yuhao and the crystal ball met gazes, a piece of information was precisely transmitted into Huo Yuhao's mind.
"divine abyss, a special divine artifact, bound by chance during Huo Yuhao's transmigration process.
It initially possesses ten halos, and one self-adapting halo will be generated every twelve months at the current level. It can be absorbed directly in the Spirit Sea.
After absorption, it will automatically increase by a certain level and improve the proficiency of one skill."
Huo Yuhao's mood calmed down a lot after receiving this information.
Just relying on Tianmeng Iceworm and Electrolux, he might not be able to contend with Tang God King, but the fault tolerance rate would probably be very low.
Now with the help of divine abyss, he finally had the capital to directly confront Tang God King.
Reality is not like a game; there is no chance to reload a save. Once a mistake is made, his life would be over.
"Little Yuhao, are you alright?" At this moment, Tang Ya's somewhat anxious voice came.
"His body should be fine, and his spirit was not impacted." Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei was holding Huo Yuhao's hand, using his spirit power to check his physical condition.
"That's good." Tang Ya heard Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei's words and, knowing that Huo Yuhao's body was fine, also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, she had a very good impression of this seemingly precocious young man and sincerely hoped that nothing unexpected would happen to him.
At this time, Huo Yuhao's consciousness also returned from his Spirit Sea, and he slowly woke up.
"Yuhao, you're awake. How are you? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Tang Ya looked at the conscious Huo Yuhao and quickly asked.
"I don't feel uncomfortable. It's probably because I was too tired after absorbing the spirit ring, which made me faint."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's answer, Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei looked at the corpse of the ten-year Spirit Beast Wind Baboon lying next to him and looked at him with some regret.
"Yuhao, what are your plans next?" Tang Ya said, looking at Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei and giving him a suggestive look.
Clearly, she had not given up on the plan to recruit Huo Yuhao into the Tang Sect as a grilled fish chef.
"Little brother Huo, why did you come to the Star Dou Great Forest alone? What's the situation with your family? Do you need our help?" Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei quickly cooperated upon seeing this.
"You could say I'm alone. One person eats his fill, and the whole family isn't hungry. For now, I've decided to take it one step at a time." Huo Yuhao responded, feigning a slightly low mood.
It seemed that Tang Ya had noticed Huo Yuhao's low mood, or perhaps Huo Yuhao's current figure resembled her younger self, so she did not say the classic "That's great."
Instead, she asked gently, "Then, Yuhao, do you want to join our Tang Sect? This is the Sect that Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei and I belong to. And it used to be the number one Sect on the continent."
Hearing Tang Ya's invitation, Huo Yuhao's brain began to work at high speed. Joining the Tang Sect or not was very important for his future development.
These were the two paths Huo Yuhao had to choose from.
One was to fall out with Tang San now, directly refuse, and find a way to join the Sun Moon Empire or the Body Sect.
Joining the Sun Moon Empire was impossible; not to mention the difficulty of crossing the border, Tang San would absolutely not tolerate a Huo Yuhao who joined the Sun Moon Empire.
Joining the Body Sect might not necessarily provoke Tang San to directly intervene, but time was an issue.
His greatest opportunity later was the trip to the far north at level 20, and the Snow Empress could help the Ice Empress overcome her 400,000-year bottleneck, it was just that the Ice Empress had sacrificed herself to Huo Yuhao prematurely.
So Huo Yuhao had to reach level 20 as soon as possible. If he spent too much time searching for the Body Sect, he would only be able to absorb all the halos at once to try and break through to level 20.
If he chose to join the Tang Sect, the advantage was having the foresight to quickly find Dai Huabin and take revenge.
But the disadvantage was that he would inevitably have interactions with Tang Wutong.
The identity of Tang San's son-in-law was too dangerous, and with Tang San's continuous pushing, the risk was equally significant.
Although Mysterious Heaven Skill would not have any hidden dangers of affecting one's mind, the Hao Dong Power was 100% a trap.
But what he, who possessed a divine artifact, lacked most was time.
Huo Yuhao believed that Tang San, considering his own interests, would not directly attack him even if he didn't become husband and wife with Tang Wutong.
He could use divine abyss to adapt to situations as they arose and hide his identity as a transmigrator until the very end.
After thinking it through, Huo Yuhao decided to join the Tang Sect and temporarily conceal his sharpness.
Seeing Huo Yuhao deep in thought, Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei said from the side: "Little brother Huo, you really need to think it through. Joining a Sect is no small matter; once you join, you cannot withdraw."
"I've thought it over. I hope to join the Tang Sect. After all, I don't even have a cultivation method right now, and my spirit power isn't high. It's already very good that a Sect is willing to take me in."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's answer, Tang Ya's face showed a hint of joy.
After all, at this time, the Tang Sect only had the three members present. Huo Yuhao's joining was also Tang Ya's first step in revitalizing the Tang Sect.
After Huo Yuhao joined the Tang Sect, the three of them clearly became much more familiar.
"Yuhao, our Tang Sect has the exemption qualification for the number one academy on the continent, Shrek Academy. This year's spot is yours."
Tang Ya put on a generous demeanor and stepped forward to pat Huo Yuhao's shoulder.
"Then many thanks, Sect Master." Huo Yuhao had a good impression of Tang Ya and Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei.
If one were to ask who provided great help to Huo Yuhao in the early stages of the original timeline, Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei and Tang Ya would definitely be among them; they were Huo Yuhao's early angel investors.
The exemption qualification for Shrek Academy and the two Xuan Water Pills were all investments they made before Huo Yuhao displayed his talent.
Therefore, if he had the chance, Huo Yuhao also planned to help Tang Ya, as Tang Ya's experience was ac
tually quite tragic. Now, perhaps, was her happiest time.
