Golden flames, like dragons, erupted around his body, with a massive sun hanging behind him. Within it, a mysterious five-clawed golden dragon stirred. Luo Yu's already extraordinary temperament was further enhanced by his powerful Martial Soul, making him seem like a god descending to the mortal realm.
"This is the Martial Soul that Brother Yu awakened?" Shui Yuer's beautiful eyes sparkled with wonder. The violent display of beauty that had effortlessly秒杀 the Huo siblings was fresh in her mind, and admiration welled up within her.
Shui Binger, in shock, recalled what she had once said to Luo Yu. Her delicate face blushed crimson. *This guy's talent isn't worthy of my sister? I'm afraid that even both of us combined... *
"How can he not have a single Soul Ring attached!!!"
Huo Wu stared in utter astonishment at Luo Yu, who was surrounded by golden flames, resembling a king of fire. Even she, with her pride, lowered her head, a different emotion flashing in her beautiful eyes – respect and admiration.
Huo Wushuang was mortified. The words of mockery he had uttered just moments ago echoed in his mind, his once-arrogant face now deathly pale.
Luo Yu felt the 'Zhu Zhao' (Candlelight) Martial Soul, one of the two saints of Yin and Yang, behind him. A hint of doubt flickered in his dark eyes. He had the feeling that if he infused a bit more soul power, there would be a new change. However, what he had shown already was shocking enough; there was no need to reveal any more.
Luo Yu calmly put away his Martial Soul, ignoring the Huo siblings who were still reeling from the shock. He turned to Huo Xiao, who was staring dumbfounded, and said, "Patriarch Huo, I did indeed have some fortuitous encounters yesterday, which is why I just awakened my Martial Soul. Uncle Shui didn't lie to you."
Huo Xiao swallowed hard, his gaze on Luo Yu becoming fervent, as if he were looking at a rare piece of jade. He breathed heavily and suddenly raised his head, saying, "Shui Dongsheng! Do you still stand by what you said earlier?"
Huo Xiao was now directly addressing him by name, showing how eager he was. Shui Dongsheng was also startled, but he immediately understood Huo Xiao's meaning. He pretended to be confused and said, "Which words? I've had some problems with my cultivation recently, and my mind is always a bit hazy."
Huo Xiao snorted coldly, about to speak, but Shui Dongsheng, with a flash of cold energy, teleported to Luo Yu's side and looked at Huo Xiao warily, issuing a dismissal.
"Brother Huo, since the sparring is over, and your children haven't suffered any losses, you can go home now."
"Wushuang, take your sister over here!" Huo Xiao called out in a loud voice.
Huo Wushuang couldn't wait to leave this place and quickly pulled Huo Wu to his side, his head lowered, his expression unreadable. Huo Wu, however, kept staring at Luo Yu with her bright eyes.
Shui Dongsheng thought they were about to leave and nodded with satisfaction, saying kindly, "Xiao Yu..."
Huo Xiao chimed in with a smile, "Young Luo Yu, right? My son is usually spoiled, so it's good for you to teach him a lesson and let him know there are always people better than him."
"Wushuang, what you said just now was really unpleasant, even I didn't like hearing it. Apologize to our young friend, quickly!"
Huo Wushuang didn't say anything, but Huo Wu stepped forward first, extending her jade-like hand, "My brother did go too far earlier, but he's not a bad person at heart. Please don't mind it."
Luo Yu waved his hand casually, not taking Huo Wu's hand.
Seeing that Luo Yu didn't mind, Huo Xiao's tone suddenly changed, "I see that the Martial Soul you awakened is fire-attributed. It seems you weren't valued in the Shui family before, and they really can't give you any guidance on fire-attributed Martial Souls!"
"How about coming to my Huo family? I can personally help you obtain Soul Rings, match you with the most suitable Soul Skills, and guarantee your admission to the Blazing Fire Academy!"
"Huo Xiao!" Shui Dongsheng was anxious. Although Luo Yu's identity was unknown, no one had come looking for him for so long. Moreover, he had such strength just after awakening his Martial Soul. Any fool could see the potential he possessed.
However, the other party was right about one thing. His Shui family did indeed specialize in water-attributed Martial Souls, and they weren't as deeply researched in the use and cultivation of fire-attributed Martial Souls as the Huo family.
"What? Didn't Patriarch Shui just say he wanted to send the young friend to help in the kitchen, and then give my daughter to me?" Huo Xiao sneered.
"This..." Shui Dongsheng was momentarily speechless.
Luo Yu didn't say anything, turning his head to look at Shui Yuer. He found the little girl pursing her cherry lips, not speaking. The moment she saw him, she turned her head away, but her tightly clenched hands and slightly perked ears betrayed her thoughts.
Huo Xiao noticed Luo Yu's gaze, his eyes flickered, and he made a decision. He smiled warmly and said, "Young friend, your talent can be said to be the only one I've ever seen. According to my observation, your other aspects are also excellent. If you are willing to join my Huo family, I can decide to arrange a marriage for you and my daughter."
"????" Luo Yu was stunned. Are things this casual in Douluo Continent? Your daughter is indeed hot, but judging by her age, she doesn't seem that old yet.
"Dad!" A protest and a coquettish voice came out at the same time.
Huo Wushuang's expression was excited, while Huo Wu's proud face became even more flushed, not daring to look at Luo Yu.
Shui Yuer clenched her small hands even tighter, looking at her father expectantly. Shui Binger quietly observed Luo Yu's expression from the side.
Shui Dongsheng gritted his teeth, cursing inwardly, shameless. The continent was now experiencing undercurrents, with the Seven Great Sects and the Spirit Hall's relationship being ambiguous.
For the Shui family or the Huo family, these kinds of forces are surviving in the cracks. The importance of having a genius with the potential to reach the top is self-evident.
Even without a Super Douluo, just having a Title Douluo in the family means they won't be treated as cannon fodder when joining any force.
Shui Dongsheng said kindly to Luo Yu, "Little Yu, how have you been doing in the Shui family?"
Luo Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle Shui, let's not go through this routine. I've been eating and drinking well in the Shui family, so comfortable that people think I'm a pretty boy. There's no need to change places."
Shui Dongsheng was stunned. He hadn't expected Luo Yu to say that. The conditions offered by the Huo family were so generous that even he was tempted. Not to mention they both had fire-attribute Martial Souls, but they were also offering their daughter!
Shui Yuer's tightly clenched hands relaxed, and she turned her head to stare at Luo Yu with her beautiful eyes, also full of disbelief.
Luo Yu turned to Huo Xiao and clasped his hands, saying, "Master Huo, you are too kind to me, and your generosity makes me feel flattered."
"But the Shui family saved my life. Even though I had no visible Soul Power before, the Shui family didn't kick me out. If I don't show gratitude and leave with you now, won't you be afraid that I will be recruited by others in the future?"
As soon as these words left Luo Yu's mouth, the slightly awkward expression on Huo Xiao's face immediately turned solemn.
Shui Dongsheng secretly admired this young man. So, this kid wasn't just a pretty face? His Martial Soul awakening was so domineering, and he spoke so eloquently too?
First, he expressed gratitude, then used the favor to decline, and finally, the last sentence, showing empathy, was the finishing touch. It provided the other party with a graceful way out, preventing them from losing face due to a rejection.
Huo Xiao smiled, "Young friend, you value relationships and righteousness, proving that I, Huo Xiao, have not misjudged you. However, you have just awakened your Martial Soul and are just beginning your cultivation journey. You will always need to enter an academy to study."
Shui Dongsheng's expression changed.
"And the Skywater Academy, associated with the Shui family, cultivates ice-attribute Martial Souls and never accepts male students. It seems more appropriate for you to come to my Huo family and enter the Blazing Fire Academy to obtain the best cultivation resources. Young people should prioritize their future."
"Moreover, judging by the strength you've shown, wouldn't it be perfect for you to come to the Blazing Fire Academy and be classmates with my daughter, Huo Wu?"
Shui Dongsheng glanced back at his youngest daughter, whose eyes were always fixed on Luo Yu, and immediately made a decision.
