Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.
Chapter 330: Taking a Master

Chapter 330: Chapter 330: Taking a Master

Skydream Iceworm was having a meltdown.

Especially when he saw that Red King, despite now having the power to suppress him, had clearly chosen to let him go.

Who would understand? He had been just one step away from becoming a god after reaching a million years...

The reason the God Realm had always suppressed soul beasts from ascending and intensified their tribulations was because soul beasts could become gods without inheriting divine positions.

"Hahaha... I’m no good, Red King. You’re overestimating me. I don’t have that kind of strength,"Skydream Iceworm said with forced laughter, pretending to be lighthearted.

Red King looked serious as he shook his head."No, you could’ve done it. Lord Master ordered the will of the Douluo plane to lower the level of heavenly tribulations to the minimum. Even if your strength is only at a thousand-year soul beast level, the tribulation will be just as weak..."

"Stop it! I don’t want to hear anymore!!"Skydream Iceworm screamed in despair and shrank back into Huo Yuhao’s body.

Huo Yuhao scratched his head, looking embarrassed. He felt like he might have messed something up. If he hadn’t passed by, Brother Tianmeng might’ve become a god.

He looked curiously, albeit cautiously, at the towering figure of Red King—The man exuded the aura of a true powerhouse.

Even his own father, Duke White Tiger Dai Hao, couldn’t compare!

If someone told him this was the strongest person in the world, he’d probably believe it without a doubt.

Red King hesitated for a moment, then said:"Now that the God Realm seems to have disappeared, it’s nearly impossible for humans to become gods anymore... You— We’re willing to do everything we can to help you. Consider it compensation for having devoured you all those years..."

Huo Yuhao blinked, flustered, and quickly called out to Skydream Iceworm in his mind.

After a short pause, Huo Yuhao replied awkwardly:

"Senior... Brother Tianmeng says it’s fine. Just... please don’t show up in front of him again..."

Red King frowned slightly, but nodded."Alright. But if you encounter any danger or trouble, come find us in Fontaine City."

Huo Yuhao quickly thanked him and promised to remember.

Fontaine Empire—the undisputed number one empire on the Douluo Continent!

Could this great figure be the emperor of the Fontaine Empire?

Or perhaps the strongest warrior?

Huo Yuhao was full of admiration.

Just as Red King was about to say more, footsteps echoed from behind.

"!!!"

Red King’s expression changed.

He was only one step away from godhood, yet hadn’t sensed the approaching presence in advance?

He quickly turned around, heart tensed.

Huo Yuhao also looked over—

It was... Sea God Poseidon and Dan Heng.

When Dan Heng saw Red King, he was slightly surprised and asked:"Red King? You’re here? Do you know where your sister is?"

The moment Red King saw Dan Heng, he almost dropped to his knees. But instead, he rushed forward and stumbled to a stop in front of him.

"Brother-in-law!"

"My sister is still in seclusion, waiting for your return! It’s only been seven or eight days since I last visited. Not sure how things are now..."

Dan Heng breathed a sigh of relief. There was no need to rush anymore. Though over ten thousand years had passed in the Douluo plane, for Gu Yuena and the others, it had only been a few days.

He hadn’t missed his children growing up.

"Thank you, Red King." Dan Heng nodded.

Red King scratched his head with a goofy smile."Brother-in-law, without you and my sister, we wouldn’t have made it this far. Don’t say thanks to me..."

Dan Heng patted him on the shoulder. Red King instantly crouched down to make it easier for him.

"Alright."

"!!!"

Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded and rubbed his eyes.

Was this really the man he had just believed to be the strongest in the world?

How could someone with such imposing strength act so humbly before another man?

That powerful image he had just formed was instantly shattered.

"This is too weird. These ferocious beasts are supposed to be proud and unyielding. But Red King... he’s acting like a puppy in front of this man. The world’s changing too fast—I can’t keep up,"Skydream Iceworm muttered in Huo Yuhao’s head.

Red King excitedly said,"Shall I go inform sister that you’ve returned?"

Dan Heng shook his head."No need. I’ll go myself."

"Okay okay... Brother-in-law, then let me tag along. Whatever you need, I’ll run errands!"

Red King was clearly thrilled.

His eyes were shining brightly, like a dog hoping its master would throw a frisbee for it to chase.

Dan Heng refused again."No need. Go do your own things. By the way, near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, there are immortal herbs. If you take them, you can greatly enhance your cultivation, maybe even evolve your bloodline."

"Now, you can no longer inherit divine positions."

Dan Heng explained briefly.

After all, he had exiled the entire God Realm.

There was no divine position left to inherit.

Poseidon snorted and laughed from the side, shooting Dan Heng a teasing look.

Back then, the God Realm had been most guarded against soul beasts inheriting divine positions.

Now, with the entire realm exiled, that problem had solved itself.

"Because of little mas—cough, nephew, we don’t need those crappy god positions. We can become gods on our own! We don’t care for those pretentious titles!"

"Brother-in-law, I’ll take my leave now."

Red King said.

Dan Heng nodded. Red King shot into the air and disappeared in a red flash.

Poseidon commented from the side:"This Three-Headed Scarlet Demon Mastiff... really is a dog at heart. Looks like he really wants you as his master."

"He’s my brother-in-law." Dan Heng shook his head.

Poseidon curled his lip—he didn’t believe that for a second.

His wife was the Silver Dragon King. If there really were a brother-in-law, it would only be the Golden Dragon King who was worthy.

Even the nine original Dragon Kings were a step beneath her!

Poseidon then turned to Huo Yuhao with a smile:"Kid, don’t think we owe you for that grilled fish."

"We’ll escort you out of the Star Dou Forest and give you some guidance."

Poseidon ruffled Huo Yuhao’s hair and asked curiously:"Tell me—if you could be taught by anyone, who would you most want as your mentor?"

"!!!"

Huo Yuhao froze on the spot.

Guidance from two gods?! What kind of heavenly luck was this?

But now he had to choose between them. No matter who he picked, the other might get upset...

He was completely stuck.

Poseidon wore a mischievous grin—he’d done it on purpose.

Dan Heng glanced at Poseidon, a bit exasperated."That’s enough."

Huo Yuhao immediately looked at Dan Heng gratefully.

Poseidon saw this and realized Huo Yuhao leaned more toward Dan Heng, so he got a little annoyed and said:"Kid, that seal the fat worm gave you is interesting. But if you just use it for power, that’s a huge waste."

Poseidon grinned, selling a mystery.

Huo Yuhao paused, then a white light suddenly burst from within him—It transformed into a chubby white worm, lying on the ground with a childish voice.

"Great One above, little Skydream humbly begs for your guidance..."

And so, the three of them traveled together.

Dan Heng wasn’t doing this for a piece of grilled fish—that was just Poseidon’s excuse.

This guy had taken a liking to Huo Yuhao. Loved by the Douluo plane’s will, Huo Yuhao had unlimited potential. Poseidon was hoping to snag the title of "teacher."

Dan Heng, on the other hand, wanted to observe Huo Yuhao’s destiny—whether it would affect Longlong, and whether Huo Yuhao could become a worthy subordinate to her.

As they walked through the Star Dou Forest, they didn’t rush.

During breaks, Poseidon would give Huo Yuhao cultivation advice.

Huo Yuhao was a diligent kid, eager to help.

He’d gather dry branches, start fires, grill fish—

Dan Heng and Poseidon didn’t need to lift a finger.

Watching the busy youth, Poseidon’s face showed satisfaction.

"This kid is so obedient. Perfect disciple material!"

Dan Heng, sitting beside him, gave him a weird look, suspecting Poseidon just enjoyed being waited on.

Poseidon instantly understood his look and turned red, snapping:"Dan Heng, what’s that supposed to mean? I don’t even have a true successor yet! That Liu Erlong may have inherited my power, but she’s a total rebel!"

Just mentioning Liu Erlong made Poseidon furious.

She had no respect for him at all!

But she admired Dan Heng to a degree Poseidon never received.

Dan Heng shook his head slightly and turned to Huo Yuhao.

The kid was genuinely decent—not pretending, not angling for favors.

Calm temperament, too. Definitely a good seedling.

No wonder he’d been chosen by the plane’s will.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao handed them each a grilled fish."Please enjoy, seniors..."

Poseidon accepted his and smiled,"Huo Yuhao, do you have a teacher?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head."No, I come from a humble background..."

He didn’t hide anything and recounted everything that had happened to him at the White Tiger Duke’s mansion.When he mentioned his deceased mother, tears rolled down his face.

Poseidon listened with fury in his eyes."That damned White Tiger Duke is a fool! And that duchess—she’s a venomous woman! I’ll kill them myself...!"

Suddenly, a terrifying aura exploded from Poseidon’s body.

It wasn’t full killing intent—just a leak of his power—but it was still immensely oppressive. The very air seemed to darken.

The campfire went out with a "poof."

Huo Yuhao’s mind went completely blank.All he could see was Poseidon’s shadowy, abyssal figure.

Inside him, Skydream Iceworm had curled up in terror, trembling all over.

"Bang...!"

Dan Heng suddenly patted Poseidon’s shoulder.

"That’s enough. You’re scaring them."

In an instant, the terrifying aura from Sea God Poseidon vanished as if it had never existed.

"..."

A moment later, Huo Yuhao came back to his senses. His clothes were already drenched in sweat, and he couldn’t help but shiver all over.

He looked at the two men, his body giving out as he slumped down to the ground.

Poseidon, full of indignation, said, "Danheng, let’s go deal with them right now. Just hearing it pisses me off! What a bunch of damn dogs! If it were me, not a single one of them would leave alive!"

Danheng gave him a calm glance and said, "Don’t act rashly. You shouldn’t get involved in this..."

"Why the hell not..."

Poseidon hadn’t even finished speaking when he saw the look in Danheng’s eyes—and instantly understood that he really couldn’t just do as he pleased.

After all, he was a god. If he recklessly intervened in a mortal plane, it wouldn’t just escalate the situation—it would affect the very workings of the plane itself.

And the Douluo plane belonged to Longlong. How could Danheng allow him to cause chaos here?

"That’s Huo Yuhao’s karma. He should face it in the future himself. Since you’ve chosen to mentor him, you should have the confidence to let him handle it."

Danheng explained.

"This..." Poseidon looked over at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao immediately nodded, his expression firm and resolute. He said seriously, "Seniors, I will do everything I can in the future to seek justice for my mother!"

"This kid’s a good one! No, I must take you as my disciple!"

Poseidon said immediately.

"Eh?" Huo Yuhao was stunned.

The Skydream Iceworm shouted, "Xiao Yuhao, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and take him as your master!"

Only then did Huo Yuhao react and hurriedly knelt to formally become Poseidon’s disciple.

Danheng looked on as the two completed the master-disciple ceremony.

Poseidon helped Huo Yuhao up, full of joy.

Then he looked at Danheng, eyes gleaming, and pushed Huo Yuhao in front of him. "This is your master’s best brother. Call him Shibo (Martial Uncle), and bow to him too."

Huo Yuhao called out "Shibo" and did exactly as told.

"..." Danheng shook his head slightly. This child is too obedient—he does whatever anyone says. He’d probably make a good subordinate.

"Alright, Danheng, you’re his Shibo now. Don’t you have a gift for the first meeting? Hurry up and take something out! The kid bowed to you already—if you don’t give him something good, that’d be disgraceful!"

Poseidon said shamelessly, hand outstretched.

Huo Yuhao’s face turned red. He opened his mouth, but was too embarrassed to object.

Danheng shook his head, thought for a moment, then took out a green glowing orb from his chest. Holding it between two fingers, he brought it to Huo Yuhao’s forehead.

The moment his fingertip touched Huo Yuhao’s forehead—

The light flashed and entered his body.

"A leaf from the Tree of Life?!"

Poseidon exclaimed instinctively.

Danheng nodded slightly. It was a gift from the Goddess of Life—he still had dozens of leaves left.

To natives of the Douluo plane, this was definitely a supreme treasure.

Since Huo Yuhao would likely become one of his child’s subordinates in the future, Danheng didn’t mind giving him such a gift.

Besides, he wasn’t too attached to worldly things.

In an instant, Huo Yuhao’s body was filled with pure life energy, radiating a pale green and white light.

He looked at his body, at a complete loss.

"Teacher, this is..."

"Silly boy! Your Shibo just gave you a great treasure! Your aptitude will be greatly improved!"

Poseidon laughed heartily. "Sit and meditate now—don’t waste a bit of it. Don’t worry, this energy won’t overwhelm your body."

Huo Yuhao obediently sat down, crossed his legs, and began meditating.

The Skydream Iceworm cheered in delight and returned to Huo Yuhao’s body.

Poseidon stood behind Huo Yuhao and personally helped him guide and refine the life energy.

Danheng, meanwhile, lit a fire and began roasting fish himself.

Before long, the sound of footsteps came from a distance.

At the same time, Danheng keenly sensed an evil aura approaching...
