Chapter 35: No Time To Regret The Golden Tortoise’s Departure
Looking at Huo Yuhao who had fallen into contemplation, the Golden Tortoise’s dark golden head visibly turned red.
“Wait a minute, are you hesitating?!”
“Is it that this old tortoise has been mixing too poorly, or has humanity developed too fast.”
“This old tortoise is a Hundred Thousand Year Beast King, and also a luck soul beast.”
“Offering to become your soul ring for free, and you’re still hesitating?!”
“And you, this stupid cat, hurry up and get off this old tortoise’s tortoise shell!”
“These days are really too outrageous. These young soul beasts one by one don’t know to respect the elderly and love the young! No martial virtue!”
Huo Yuhao waved his hand at the Shadow Cat to make it come down quickly, then said to the Golden Tortoise:
“Of course that’s not what I mean. Brother Tortoise is so talented… among beasts, no one would refuse your power.”
“It’s just that my first soul ring already has a choice, and the target soul beast is in a bad situation, probably won’t last much longer.”
“Also, Brother Tortoise, what’s the deal with that ethereal voice you mentioned?”
Huo Yuhao was very interested in the ethereal voice it had just revealed.
He vaguely had an answer in his heart, but it wasn’t quite certain.
The Golden Tortoise snorted at the Shadow Cat and then said in a muffled voice:
“Not sure. Luck tells me to sacrifice to you, which aligns with the direction of fate and the development of the times, and can gain many benefits.”
“But that ethereal voice was very urgent. It kept pushing me, wanting me to sacrifice to you.”
“I can’t perceive the source of that voice, only sensing a warm and gentle aura.”
“Hmm… just like when this old tortoise was little and my mother was holding me.”
Huo Yuhao roughly understood the identity of the voice’s owner.
It should be the unlucky plane consciousness that didn’t appear in the original work.
The plane consciousness’s situation now should not be good. Inside Shrek Academy’s Golden Tree is A Yin, who is seizing the plane’s life origin.
Tang Hao is probably gradually replacing the plane consciousness to become the lord of the plane with Tang God King’s help.
Huo Yuhao looked at the Golden Tortoise again and said: “Brother Tortoise, how much longer can you hold on?”
The Golden Tortoise slightly raised its head, its golden eyes looking at the sky for a moment before saying:
“I can still hold on for five or six years.”
“At most six years later, this old tortoise, a majestic and heroic beast king, will completely die in this pool.”
“Can’t Di Tian and the others find you?” Huo Yuhao was a bit doubtful. At this time, the Star Dou Great Forest was basically Di Tian’s back garden.
This iron blockhead had plucked one-fifth of the Life Gold from the Lake of Life. Di Tian wouldn’t let it go just like that.
Life Gold has a great effect on Silver Dragon King’s injuries. This time, the Golden Tortoise had touched Di Tian’s basket.
The Golden Tortoise proudly raised its head and said with a face full of pride:
“Di Tian, just a mere little dragon, not worth mentioning.”
“This old tortoise used luck to conceal my own existence.”
“If he can find me, I’ll take off my tortoise shell and give it to him as a chamber pot.”
Huo Yuhao almost couldn’t hold it together. This tortoise was talking so domineering, but in the end, the method was still just hiding? And so the tortoise shell can be taken off?!
“Brother Tortoise, can you wait one month? After I reach level twenty, I’ll come find you.”
A flash of doubt passed through the Golden Tortoise’s golden eyes: “One month? Is the time enough?”
“I remember you humans need several years to cultivate to level ten soul power.”
“Don’t try to fool this old tortoise as if I’m a sea turtle. As long as it’s not a full five years, I can still wait.”
Rising ten levels in one month, a normal soul master, even with innate full soul power, would need two years.
The reason Huo Yuhao dared to say this was because he had the power of the Nine Dragon Pulling Coffin.
As long as he used the Profound Water Pill, Soul Ascension Pill, and Black Tortoise Divine Pill, a mere ten levels of soul power would be broken on the spot.
The remaining Profound Water Pill could raise him two levels, the Soul Ascension Pill three levels, and the Black Tortoise Divine Pill five levels would absolutely be no problem.
He just hoped that after popping all the pills, his head wouldn’t become pointy on top.
“I’m not deceiving you. I have my own way.”
Seeing Huo Yuhao’s confident expression, the Golden Tortoise felt relieved. For the person selected by its own luck, it was willing to believe.
“Mm, since that’s the case, this old tortoise will wait one month. You must come find me after reaching level twenty.”
“Don’t go looking for other tortoises outside.”
The Golden Tortoise earnestly instructed Huo Yuhao. In the Star Dou Great Forest, the Golden Tortoise clan is extremely rare, but there are still two or three.
If he were discovered by other kin, those flashy cheap goods would definitely find ways to become his soul ring.
After all, the luck clan couldn’t give up the era express train right in front of them. They rose powerful because of luck and would perish because of luck.
Obeying fate is their clan’s way of survival.
After speaking, its whole body emitted golden light, dazzling even in the daytime Star Dou Great Forest.
The golden light slowly gathered on the tortoise shell, until the octagonal tortoise shell plate in the very center turned dark gold.
Then that piece of tortoise shell detached, held afloat by golden light, and floated into Huo Yuhao’s hand.
The Golden Tortoise was clearly much weaker, the entire tortoise’s color dimmed considerably.
Noticing Huo Yuhao’s puzzled gaze.
The Golden Tortoise said in a muffled voice: “Just as every pure-blood true dragon has a reverse scale.”
“The Golden Tortoise, as the king of tortoises, similarly has something like that.”
“This tortoise shell plate is our clan’s reverse scale, and even more precious than that.”
“A single Golden Tortoise can only condense one in its lifetime. It is the symbol of the Golden Tortoise origin.”
“Wearing this tortoise shell plate on your body can make you luckier.”
“When encountering danger, it can also be used as a shield.”
“You know Xiong Jun, right? I’m confident I can block his full-power Sky Tearing Claw for one minute.”
“Even Di Tian would need some effort to break the tortoise shell plate’s defense.”
After speaking, this piece of tortoise shell tried to fly to Huo Yuhao’s right hand, but was directly slapped into the river ahead by a colored light band extended from the colored blade pattern on his right hand.
Golden Tortoise: “………”
Huo Yuhao: “………”
The scene was silent.
In the end, the Shadow Cat broke the silence, leaping down from the shore and biting up that tortoise shell plate from the river bottom, which was many times larger than itself.
Then placed it in front of Huo Yuhao, walked to Huo Yuhao’s trouser leg and squatted down, its dark eyes looking at the big tortoise in front of it.
At the same time, the Remnant Dream Blade slightly revealed its hilt from the back of Huo Yuhao’s right hand.
The white hilt rippling with colored waves emanated an aura of erasing everything toward the Golden Tortoise.
The Golden Tortoise’s dark golden head immediately dripped with sweat.
“Is it raining?”
“No, I’m sweating profusely.”
As a Hundred Thousand Year Beast King, it had seen countless soul beasts and soul masters.
The last time it felt this sense of oppression was when Xiong Jun and Di Tian had their big battle, and Di Tian used that unknown move glowing with seven-colored light.
The Golden Tortoise laughed it off and said: “Ah, like that, so you have a resident in your right hand.”
“Sorry for the disturbance. I’ll send the tortoise shell plate to the left hand right away.”
Once the tortoise shell plate entered the left hand, it formed a golden tattoo similar to a vortex on the back of the hand.
Huo Yuhao: “………”
He already couldn’t take the civil service exam, and now he probably couldn’t be a teacher either.
Looking at the symmetrical tattoos on both hands, Huo Yuhao always felt this was just the beginning, and there would be more tattoos on his body in the future.
He would charge all the way toward becoming a tattoo warrior.
After doing everything, the Golden Tortoise returned to the center of the river, repeatedly instructing Huo Yuhao not to look for other tortoises before finally hiding at the river bottom.
After bidding farewell to the Golden Tortoise, Huo Yuhao followed the Shadow Cat to continue wandering in the outer ring, waiting for the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm’s arrival.
At this moment, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm that Huo Yuhao was thinking about was carefully escaping from the mixed zone, advancing toward the outer ring.
An indescribable attraction made it slowly approach Huo Yuhao’s direction.
“Finally let bro escape. Heavens! Please, give me some good luck to encounter a spiritual attribute soul master.”
