One on two

The next morning.

After a night of rest, the two of them set out on their journey home. The figures of the two people holding hands gradually lengthened in the morning sun, and a pair of bracelets emitted a bright blue light.

"Yuhao, how far is it?"

There were two young figures on the rugged mud path, and a bored voice rang out from the girl.

"We're almost there, it's just ahead."

Huo Yuhao said as he looked at the outline of the house in front of him, feeling a little excited. In just one year, he has become a Soul Grandmaster. You have to know that he is only seven years old now. Even in the history of Douluo Continent, there should be no one who has cultivated this fast.

"Ha! We're finally here."

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and she quickened her pace, pulling Huo Yuhao along.

"I don't know how grandpa is doing."

Huo Yuhao muttered to himself. After hearing this, Xiao Wu suddenly realized that she was going to meet Huo Yuhao's relatives. Although I said I wasn't afraid at the academy, I couldn't help but feel scared when I saw the small village so close, and I held the hand tightly. Huo Yuhao noticed Xiao Wu's worry, squeezed her hands, and said with a smile.

"Are you scared now? Don't worry, my grandpa is very gentle."

After Huo Yuhao's comfort, Xiao Wu also relaxed a little, "Humph, I'm not afraid."

Old Jack's house was deep in the village, while Tang San's house was at the entrance of the village. When Huo Yuhao passed by, he saw that the door of Tang San's house was closed, and it didn't look like anyone was living there, so he felt a little confused.

Soon the two arrived at the door of Old Jack's house and happened to meet Tang San coming out. Before Huo Yuhao could ask any questions, Tang San awkwardly spoke up to explain the reason. It turned out that Tang Hao had left, leaving only a piece of paper for him. With nowhere to go, he was taken to Old Jack's house to stay temporarily.

"Xiao San, who are you talking to? Is Yuhao back?" Old Jack's voice came from inside the house.

When Huo Yuhao heard the voice, he couldn't hide his excitement and said, "Grandpa, I'm back!"

"You little brat, I thought you forgot about your grandpa, yet you still dare to came back! Who is this?"

Old Jack walked out of the house, scolding Huo Yuhao, and immediately noticed Xiao Wu beside him. She looks very cute, her hands are nervously changing various movements in front of her body, and her mouth is uttering intermittent words.

"Hello, Grandpa. I am Huo Yuhao's classmate in the academy. My name is Xiao Wu. This time I came to Huo Yuhao's house to play."

Seeing Xiao Wu's nervous look, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but burst into laughter, which caused Xiao Wu to look embarrassed and angry, and the flesh on his waist suffered immediately.

"Okay, okay, I was worried that Yuhao won't be able to make friends."

Looking at the two of them, Old Jack knew what had happened and immediately smiled. He stepped aside to let everyone in, and Xiao Wu took out the gift she had prepared from her bracelet and handed it to Old Jack. The sharp-eyed old Jack immediately noticed that they both had the same bracelet. His smile became even wider. He took the gift, looked at Huo Yuhao with satisfaction, and almost gave him a thumbs up, saying, "Good boy!"

Looking at the three harmonious people, Tang San felt like an outsider and was uncomfortable all over.

"Yuhao, you and Tang San go catch some fish. We can't fail to entertain the guests."

Old Jack even felt that the two were too much of a nuisance, so he waved his hand and found something for them to do.

"Okay, okay. If people don't know, they would think that Xiao Wu is your granddaughter."

Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly, gave Xiao Wu a look that told her to fend for herself, and walked towards the stream at the entrance of the village with Tang San.

"Xiao San, thank you for taking care of my grandpa these days."

When the two of them arrived at the place, Huo Yuhao spoke while his hands kept moving.

Tang San waved his hand, "It was your grandfather who took me in. I didn't do anything."

One of them used [Controlling Crane Catching Dragon], and the other used 'Spirit Eyes', and soon a lot of blue carp piled up on the shore.

"That's enough for two meals. Let's go back."

Huo Yuhao suggested, figuring that the two people at home would almost finish their conversation. Tang San nodded, and when the two returned home together, Grandpa had already ask Xiao Wu to be his granddaughter. Xiao Wu was no longer nervous and was chatting and laughing with Grandpa. Huo Yuhao cooked lunch himself and everyone enjoyed a feast. However, Xiao Wu, who could eat a lot of grilled fish, was reserved and didn't eat much. Huo Yuhao was very confused. Is it possible that what I cooked is not delicious? It should taste the same as before.

"What's wrong, Xiao Wu? Don't you have a poor appetite? You usually ow!!"

Huo Yuhao had only said half of his words when he cried out in sudden severe pain in his waist. Looking at the two people flirting with each other, grandpa stroked his beard with a smile. Tang San, however, had an expression as if he had eaten dog food. (TN: It is when people are showing affection in front of single people)

The three were later kicked out of the house. In the words of old Jack, "Young people should go out and have fun. What are you doing staying at home all the time?"

Helplessly, the three of them had to come to the mountain they often visited. Under the bright sunshine and looking at the swaying forest in the distance, the three of them felt relaxed. After eating, Xiao Wu, who couldn't sit still, pulled Huo Yuhao up and asked for a fight.

During the year in the academy, Huo Yuhao had not participated in any sparring. His experience from his previous life meant that he did not need to hone his skills in this way. But this time, after he broke through to the level of Soul Grandmaster, he felt a little itchy and agreed to Xiao Wu's request.

"Tang San, you and Xiao Wu come together."

Huo Yuhao already has one more soul ring than Xiao Wu, so there won't be any suspense in a fight like this. Tang San, who had long been curious about Huo Yuhao's strength, did not give up the rare opportunity and nodded. The three of them got into position and released their martial souls.

It was then that Tang San and Xiao Wu discovered that Huo Yuhao's martial soul seemed to be different. Before, when Huo Yuhao released his 'Spirit Eyes' martial soul, his pupils would change from black to gold. Now in addition to the golden pupils, there is also a slowly rotating black ring outside. If you look closely, you can see that the ring is covered with unknown secret codes.

His whole temperament was a bit gloomy, with a faint grey airflow surrounding his body. Combined with his blue, black and gold eyes, he looked a bit evil.

"Yuhao, you look even more handsome like this!" Xiao Wu exclaimed.

Huo Yuhao smiled. This was the first time he released his martial soul in front of others after its evolution.

"When I obtained my second soul ring, my martial soul underwent some changes. It seems to have evolved." 

This is exactly the evolution that happened to the 'Spirit Eyes' in the Far North with the help of Yi Lai'.

Named the 'Dark Spirit Eyes' by Huo Yuhao, it possesses both dark and spiritual attributes. After a series of verifications when obtaining the second soul ring, Huo Yuhao obtained a result that made him happy. (TN: Same ability as his previous life, [Imitation]. It might be explain later but I'll just do it now to clear confusion. BTW, Should I choose this name or choose another one? For example, [Illusion] or [Simulation]. I'll use [Imitation] for now until you guys want to change it.)

Just as Yi Lai had imagined, he could now use his 'Dark Spirit Eyes' to release Undead Magic.

You know, in his previous life, before he obtained the third soul core, Huo Yuhao was unable to activate three martial souls at the same time. But now that he has no soul core, he can still release them at the same time.

Xiao Wu pursed her lips. It was originally a two-ring fight against one-ring, but the opponent's martial soul seemed to have become more powerful, so the chances of winning were even lower.

"Are you ready?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smile as he looked at the two people who were becoming even more nervous, and saw them nod.

"When you are ready, let's start!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards the two of them like an arrow. Tang San's pupils shrank when he saw Huo Yuhao crossing half the distance in an instant. He couldn't even see Huo Yuhao's movements clearly, let alone fight. He couldn't even see clearly with his eyes, let alone use [Bind] to restrain Huo Yuhao.
