Huo Yuhao had never imagined such a thing would happen to him after he left the Duke's Mansion and vowed revenge.
Huo Yuhao was the son of the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, a Titled Douluo and a Duke from the Star Luo Empire and a Maid named Huo Yun'er.
He and his mother were discriminated against and bullied in the Duke's Mansion and his Mother was forced by the Duchess to work more and more despite her being ill which combined with the bullying of the Duchess's son, his half brother Dai Huabin caused his mother to pass away a few years ago.
The Duke didn't even care or look at Huo Yun'er after he went to the battlefield despite him telling her that he loved her and let the mother and son suffer until his mother eventually died of illness, even in her deathbed, his mother had told him not to blame the Duke.
Now, having left the Duke's Mansion, he encountered such a magical thing after almost dying to a Ten Year old Spirit Beast.
He was somehow chosen by Skydream to bear his Wisdom Soul Ring and then was somehow Chosen by a God? To become their Successor.

'Brother Skydream....are you sure there are people coming?' Yuhao asked Skydream while he had woke up after seeing the Panel, he hadn't even seen the rest before Skydream informed him of humans approaching.
"Little Yuhao!" A lively young lady about 15 years old with long blackhair and pink eyes wearing a light blue outfit alongside a young man with purple hair and amethyst eyes wearing white followed the woman.
"Big Sister Xiao Ya! Big Brother Bei!" Yuhao greeted them as his vigilance slightly relaxed as the duo then looked at Yuhao's surroundings and saw a dead Ape like beast, A Wind Baboon and a ten year old soul ring that was dissipating.
"Little brother Yuhao! Were you attacked by this Spirit Beast?" Bei Bei asked Yuhao who subconsciously looked at the corpse and then nodded as he gripped the White Tiger Dagger tighter.
"To think Spirit Beasts have begun to appear here in the outskirts, the management of the area seemed to have relaxed too much, we'll have to tell the academy later." Bei Bei said to Tang Ya who was currently pulling Yuhao's cheeks while looking amazed.
"Little Yuhao, how did you manage to somehow become more handsome within a few hours?" Tang Ya asked as she grabbed Yuhao who's skin had become paler and whose eyes had become a crimson red while his face structure had changed to make him more handsome, although he looked cute rather than handsome due to his young age.
"Xiao Ya-" Bei Bei began but was glared at by Tang Ya and changed his words "-Teacher Xiao Ya, little Yuhao looks tired.....please let him go." Bei Bei said with a drop of sweat sliding down his face due to secondhand embarrassment.
"Sorry Little Yuhao!" Tang Ya said as she suddenly realised she was being too close and released Yuhao's cheeks as he then rubbed it to soothe the pain as she stuck her tongue out.
"If my guess is correct, Little Brother Yuhao should have got his first Soul Ring." Bei Bei said as Yuhao looked surprised then nodded as a Purple Soul Ring rose from his feet as Bei Bei's and Tang Ya's eyes widened in absolute shock as Huo Yuhao's first Soul Ring was a Thousand Year Old Soul Ring, breaking literal common sense that the first soul ring has to be around 800 years at most.
"Wha-?! How?!" Bei Bei began to doubt his own life and reality as he looked at the Purple Soul Ring rising from Yuhao's feet and his eyes which seemed to have a Light Golden Circle surrounding the Crimson Jewel like pupils making Bei Bei feel an urge to kneel, as if his very soul was screaming at his body to kneel before a Supreme Being.
"Are you okay Big Brother Bei, Big Sister Xiao Ya?" Yuhao asked as he returned his Soul Ring and Bei Bei panted heavily while sweating, Tang Ya was no better as she actually almost fell but was grabbed by Bei Bei who prevented her fall.
"Little Brother Yuhao.... what's your Marital Spirit?" Bei Bei asked while trembling, he couldn't believe that a normal Martial Spirit could suppress his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Spirit which was considered the number one Beast Spirit on the continent.
"Ah? My Martial Spirit?" Yuhao muttered as his eyes suddenly seemed to become cold, as if he was a truly superior lifeform looking at them as pitch black feathered wings spread behind Yuhao as his eyes had their golden circle return even deeper and form a cross made of light in his eyes and a pressure that was unlike anything Bei Bei had ever felt, even his Great Grandfather couldn't give him such pressure that seemed to come from deep within his soul, it wasn't a suppression of Soul Power like many Titled Douluo he had met, it was pure suppression based on Life Level.
"I call it...King Of Hell...." Yuhao's voice echoed as Bei Bei almost knelt but the pressure disappeared instantly as Yuhao returned to his innocent and kind look while Bei Bei gulped.
'Yuhao, why did you expose yourself like that?!' Skydream asked in shock mentally as Yuhao himself didn't know why, it was instinctive, as if something didn't allow him to hide himself.....he felt....Pride.
[Sin of Pride: 1% Unlocked]
The mechanical voice rang again in his head as he finally understood why he was impulsive, his Pride didn't allow him to hide himself, he may be cautious but, he'll never pretend to be weak.
"Big Brother Bei.....What are you doing in the forest anyways?" Yuhao asked Bei Bei who was holding the still trembling and awestruck Tang Ya while Bei Bei was also looking at Yuhao in awe "Um.... we're here to get a Soul Ring for Xiao Ya." Bei Bei replied while Tang Ya even ignored Bei Bei calling her Xiao Ya as she looked at Yuhao with shining eyes.
"Little Brother Yuhao.....are you willing to join our Tang Sect?" Tang Ya asked even as she was still trembling in Bei Bei's arms as Yuhao looked confused but firmly shook his head "I'm sorry Big Sister Xiao Ya, I don't have any plans of joining a Sect." Yuhao said as Tang Ya looked speechless.
"Are you sure Little Brother Yuhao? Our Tang Sect used to be the strongest Sect on the mainland 10,000 years ago." Tang Ya said "We also have a lot of skills and techniques passed down by our founder. We also have a technique that can help improve Spiritual Power." Tang Ya said as she and Bei Bei could both guess that Yuhao's Martial Spirit was somehow both Spiritual and Soul Power related and tried to tempt Yuhao with techniques "We also have a recommendation quota for Shrek Academy." She tried bringing up the name of the best academy in the Continent but Yuhao still remained indifferent even though he was surprised.
"I'm sorry, I still have no plans to join." Yuhao apologized as he also helped Bei Bei and Tang Ya stand up and although disappointed Tang Ya just smiled and shook Yuhao's hand, "If Little Brother Yuhao ever changes his mind, I'll always welcome you." Tang Ya said.
"Okay Big Sister Xiao Ya, Thank you for the opportunity." Yuhao said with a gentle smile as Bei Bei seemed to think about something deeply and suddenly took out a red envelope with a golden seal on it and handed it to Yuhao.
"Here Yuhao.... It's a recommendation Letter to Shrek. Only those who have been recommended can enter Shrek and well, I'll recommend you on behalf of the Blue Lightning Turant Dragon Clan." Bei Bei said firmly as he was the current Young Master of the Clan and stuffed the letter into Yuhao's hands.
"Big Brother Bei! This-" he tried to refuse but Bei Bei shook his head firmly "Yuhao, you're one of the most talented people I've ever met and I don't want that talent to go to waste." Bei Bei said as Tang Ya nodded in agreement.
"Then.... I'll owe you a favor in the future." Yuhao said to Bei Bei and Tang Ya with a smile as Bei Bei's eyes brightened because in his opinion, as long as Yuhao grows up normally, Yuhao would definitely be a Level 98 Super Douluo or an Extreme Douluo.
Then the trio began to search for a suitable Spirit Beast for Tang Ya as Bei Bei then noticed that Yuhao wasn't that knowledge and imparted important knowledge about Soul Master, Spirit Beasts and Soul Guides to Yuhao.
While they walked, Yuhao was talking with Skydream about the skills that his Soul Ring provided 'Because your Spirit Eye Martial Spirit mutated and well, you also gained a new Martial Spirit....The Soul Skills I gave you changed a lot compared to before.' Skydream said as Yuhao also tried understanding the skills.
Spiritual Detection evolved into Hell's Vision, The skill now allows Yuhao to see the souls and energy flow of people as well within the radius of the skill which was currently around 100 metres but would increase with his cultivation.
Spiritual Sharing was still almost the same except that he could influence the other party's thoughts as well if he wanted.
Spiritual Shock evolved into Hell's Gaze which could attack the opponents with a mental attack that could now also burn the Mental Space of the opponent using Hellfire if successful and could only be stopped by Yuhao himself, it didn't matter even if the Gods descended, only Yuhao can stop it.
Spiritual Interference had somehow become Hell's Domain which was a Soul Power and Spiritual Power which was also able to affect the Soul itself. A flaming blood red Domain would form centred around Yuhao to a radius of 100 meters at present, the flames can burn Soul Power, Spiritual Power and when both rub out, it can even burn the Soul Itself.
'...TOO OP, YUHAO!'
