6: Chapter 6 Necromancer Saint, Electrox

Upon hearing the words "little couple," Tang Ya's face instantly flushed red, and she shot Su Chen a secretive glare.

Bei Bei, however, remained quite composed and gave a helpless smile. "You're joking again. Xiao Ya just broke through to level thirty, and I'm accompanying her here to hunt for her third spirit ring."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Huo Yuhao, who was standing to the side looking somewhat at a loss.

Meanwhile, Tang Ya could no longer restrain herself.

She skipped over to Huo Yuhao and pointed at the grilled fish, her eyes sparkling as she asked, "Little brother, this fish... is it for sale?"

Huo Yuhao had never met such a lively girl before, and his face turned red as he stammered, "No... it's not for sale. If you want to eat it, sister, please just take it."

"Really? Thank you so much!"

Tang Ya cheered and, without being polite, reached out and grabbed the largest and fattest skewer.

As soon as she touched it, she was burned and cried out, "Ouch! So hot, so hot!"

Bei Bei found it both annoying and amusing, so he stepped forward to take hold of her.

"Xiao Ya, how many times have I told you? Don't be so reckless."

Though he was scolding her, he carefully blew on her reddened fingers.

Huo Yuhao watched these three people who seemed to have a great relationship and asked Su Chen curiously, "Are you all... friends?"

"Yes, friends from the academy."

Shrek Academy again.

The look of envy in Huo Yuhao's eyes grew even more intense.

At this point, Bei Bei officially extended his hand to Huo Yuhao and smiled gently. "Hello, I am Bei Bei. This is my... junior, Tang Ya."

"I'm Huo Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao also hurriedly reached out and shook Bei Bei's hand lightly.

For a moment, the atmosphere by the creek became lively.

...

The four of them gathered around the fire, and soon the remaining skewers of grilled fish were finished.

Tang Ya was full of praise as she ate.

After finishing the fish, Huo Yuhao stood up, thanked the three of them, and said he needed to continue his journey, taking his leave first.

Watching Huo Yuhao's small and thin figure disappear into the woods, Tang Ya nudged Bei Bei with her elbow.

"Bei Bei."

"Hmm?"

"What do you think... about recruiting him into the Tang Sect?"

Tang Ya was full of expectation.

Bei Bei glanced at her and couldn't help but tease, "I think you just took a liking to his grilled fish skills, didn't you?"

"Nonsense!"

Tang Ya's face turned red, and she puffed out her chest righteously. "Making delicious grilled fish is also a remarkable talent! Our Tang Sect is currently in a state of revival and needs this kind of talent!"

Su Chen listened from the side, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

The plot was indeed following the familiar formula.

Su Chen suddenly composed his expression and looked at Bei Bei.

"That kid Huo Yuhao, I feel his Soul Power isn't very high. Wandering around the Star Dou Great Forest alone is too dangerous."

Bei Bei was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Indeed. This outer area is fine, but if he goes any deeper, it won't be something he can handle."

Su Chen said no more and stood up directly.

"I'm a bit worried, I'll go follow and check on him."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body flashed and turned into an afterimage, chasing after the direction Huo Yuhao had left.

"Hey, Su Chen!" Tang Ya called out, but he was already gone.

Bei Bei looked in the direction Su Chen had disappeared, lost in thought.

He turned to Tang Ya and said, "Su Chen is right. We ate his fish; it's only right that we escort him for a while to ensure his safety."

Tang Ya nodded vigorously. "Mhm! You're right! Wait for me, I'll just wash my hands and be right there!"

Saying that, she ran to the creek and splashed water to wash the fish oil from her hands.

...

In the forest, Su Chen's figure moved rapidly.

He looked back; Bei Bei and Tang Ya hadn't caught up yet.

"As expected."

Su Chen muttered to himself; everything was under control.

To intercept Huo Yuhao's fortuitous encounter, he had to get ahead of them and ensure they didn't see what they shouldn't see.

Buzz—!

Just then.

An indescribably massive spiritual power, like a tsunami, suddenly swept toward him from ahead.

Su Chen's steps paused, his expression changing slightly.

"Moving so fast?"

He no longer held back his strength, his Soul Power exploding instantly as he rushed toward the source of the spiritual fluctuation.

Within a few breaths, Su Chen burst into a clearing in the forest.

The scene before him was exactly the same as the plot in the book.

Huo Yuhao was collapsed by a large tree, his face pale as paper, his whole body trembling violently.

His right hand was tightly clutching a dagger, the blade still stained with blood.

Not far from him lay the corpse of a Wind Baboon, clearly having died not long ago.

Most importantly, a soft white light was shining brightly on Huo Yuhao's forehead.

That soft white light was exactly the Heavenly Dream Iceworm merging into Huo Yuhao's body, about to bring him the first Million-year soul ring in the history of the Douluo Continent.

Su Chen saw it, but his heart remained calm.

A Million-year soul ring? I don't care for it.

His target was not this silly big worm.

Su Chen's gaze was fixed firmly above Huo Yuhao's head.

Soon, above that white light, a wisp of air appeared out of thin air, condensing into an inconspicuous grey point of light.

It's here!

Su Chen's eyes lit up instantly.

This was his true target for this trip—the Divine Sense Fragment of the Necromancer Saint and Magic God, Electrolux!

Su Chen was ecstatic; this was an existence even more powerful than the Heavenly Dream Iceworm.

Seeing that grey light point about to drift down and merge into Huo Yuhao's forehead.

Now!

Su Chen no longer hesitated, and with a thought.

With a thought from Su Chen, a mysterious and ancient Lightning Rune quietly emerged in the center of his forehead.

The rune glowed faintly, and an invisible yet incredibly domineering suction force erupted, aimed directly at the falling grey light point.

The grey light point that was about to touch Huo Yuhao suddenly jerked to a stop.

"Eh?"

An ancient voice that seemed to span through the ages echoed in Su Chen's mind.

In the next second, the grey light point seemed to have found a new home. It abruptly changed direction and turned into a streak of light, whooshing toward the space between Su Chen's eyebrows.

The light point vanished in a flash, entering directly.

Interception successful!

However, before Su Chen could even celebrate for a second.

"Boom—!"

A vast spiritual power instantly exploded within Su Chen's Spiritual Sea.

Su Chen let out a muffled groan, feeling as if his head was about to burst.

His legs gave way, and he knelt on one knee.

Just then, that ancient voice sounded in his mind again, carrying a hint of curiosity.

"Little fellow, was it you... who actively attracted me?"

Su Chen endured the intense pain in his Spiritual Sea and responded respectfully in his heart:

"Junior Su Chen greets the Necromancer Saint and Magic God!"

"Lord Electrolux, I... was waiting specifically for you!"
