It wasn't just the others; even Lin Yu couldn't understand it. The live stream had focused on Huo Yuhao the entire time, leaving him wondering what the point of this broadcast was.
However, Ning Fengzhi, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue had already started to piece things together among the viewers.
In the initial moments of the broadcast, when the screen turned blank, two mysterious voices mentioned something about a "new star" emerging in Douluo Continent. This "new star" likely referred to a person, and could it possibly be this Dai Yuhao?
Otherwise, there was no explaining why the live stream kept focusing on him.
But seriously? Dai Yuhao's innate spirit power was only at level one, and his mutated martial spirit was just... eyes? How was he supposed to use those in combat? Was he going to stare people to death?
Amidst the confusion and speculation of the audience, the broadcast continued.
After escaping from the White Tiger Duke's mansion, Dai Yuhao gave himself a new name: Huo Yuhao. He then set off for the Great Star Dou Forest.
But seeing Huo Yuhao venture alone into the forest without a companion or protector, many viewers shook their heads in disbelief.
This kid was done for.
The Great Star Dou Forest was teeming with spirit beasts. Even in the outer regions, the weakest ten-year-old spirit beasts would be more than a match for a kid with no combat skills and only level-ten spirit power.
As the story unfolded, just like in the original Peerless Tang Sect series, Huo Yuhao encountered Tang Ya and Bei Bei. Tang Ya, grateful for his small act of kindness, decided to accompany and protect him.
This had the audience shaking their heads again.
What kind of luck was this?
Tang Ya and Bei Bei hadn't shown their true abilities yet, but based on their appearance and demeanor, they were not ordinary civilians. Anyone who dared to move around the outskirts of the Great Star Dou Forest was most likely a young spirit master with decent cultivation.
They could at least help Huo Yuhao hunt down a ten-year-old spirit beast and obtain his first spirit ring!
The broadcast continued, leading to the infamous Wind Baboon incident—the near-fatal encounter that ended with Huo Yuhao narrowly defeating the beast.
But just as Huo Yuhao was about to absorb the Wind Baboon's spirit ring, a massive, golden Ice Jade Scorpion emerged from the ground. After a brief conversation, the scorpion offered itself as a sacrifice to Huo Yuhao.
At this point, the Great Star Dou Forest's fearsome spirit beasts watching the broadcast were taken aback.
So, in the future, this Ice Jade Scorpion would manage to escape? They made a mental note to keep a close eye on it from now on.
Meanwhile, Tianmeng Iceworm, who was also watching the broadcast, nearly broke down in tears.
What kind of bad luck was this? His eventual escape had been exposed, and now he had no future!
Through the conversation between Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng Iceworm in the broadcast, the viewers learned that this chubby scorpion was indeed the Tianmeng Iceworm who had spoken earlier in the livestream—and it was a true hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast.
The revelation left the audience utterly stunned.
Are you kidding me? Is this kid the chosen one?
Many Titled Douluos on the continent didn't even have a single hundred-thousand-year-old spirit ring, yet here was this boy, not even a full-fledged spirit master, being granted a million-year-old spirit beast's sacrifice.
This couldn't be real, could it?
The disbelief spread through the spirit masters watching the broadcast as they started questioning reality itself.
To make matters worse, when they learned that Tianmeng Iceworm's promise of a second martial spirit was true—albeit with certain conditions—it only added fuel to their jealousy.
All they could do was be envious!
But it didn't end there.
After receiving Tianmeng Iceworm's sacrifice, another strange phenomenon occurred—a mysterious beam of light shot into Huo Yuhao's mind, revealing the presence of a powerful remnant soul.
Judging by the grand spectacle that unfolded, this remnant soul was a formidable entity, becoming Huo Yuhao's third martial spirit.
The audience's collective jaws dropped once again.
This can't be real—this must be a novel plot, not an actual future event! How could this be happening?
At the same time, Ning Fengzhi, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue confirmed their suspicions.
This Huo Yuhao was undoubtedly the "new star" mentioned earlier, the child of destiny destined to rise on the Douluo Continent.
There was simply no other explanation for his ridiculous string of good fortune.
Next, the broadcast revealed Huo Yuhao meeting Tang Ya and Bei Bei, where Tang Ya recruited him into the Tang Sect before helping him gain entry to Shrek Academy.
Tang Sect?
Seeing this, Tang San's eyes widened.
In the future, he would establish the Tang Sect on the Douluo Continent, and it would grow into the continent's number one sect.
As the story continued, Huo Yuhao eventually met Wang Dong—or rather, Wang Dong'er. It was then revealed that both of them had triple martial spirits, and according to Tianmeng Iceworm, their martial spirits were perfectly compatible.
This left the audience reeling once again.
Triple martial spirits that were perfectly compatible?
Are you kidding me?
But Lin Yu only smirked coldly at this.
He didn't believe for a second that Huo Yuhao's three martial spirits could naturally fuse with Wang Dong'er's. After all, Huo Yuhao's third martial spirit, the Death God of Necromancy, was from the Sealed Divine Throneworld. There was no way any martial spirit from the Douluo Continent could be compatible with that!
Thinking back to the content from Douluo Continent Part 1, Lin Yu could see the intricate relationships among various martial spirits, like Chrysanthemum Douluo's Chrysanthemum Splendor, which complemented Ghost Douluo's Ghostly Phantasm, or how the Snake Spear martial spirit worked with Dragon Spear martial spirits.
But Huo Yuhao's martial spirits fusing with Tang Wutong's? What kind of nonsense was that?
The only explanation was that Tang San had set this up.
Tang San must have tampered with his daughter, Tang Wutong, erasing her memories and orchestrating the martial spirit fusion to bind Huo Yuhao, the child of destiny, to his daughter.
In this way, Tang San not only secured a powerful son-in-law for his daughter but also ensured that Huo Yuhao, who had greater potential than him, would always remain under his control!
When you think about it, Huo Yuhao's talent far surpassed Tang San's.
Without Tang San's schemes and without meeting Tang Wutong, Huo Yuhao, with his triple martial spirits, would have undoubtedly achieved far greater heights than what was shown in the original series!
He could have even surpassed Tang San himself!
After all, Tang San received two godhoods due to his twin martial spirits.
With three martial spirits, why couldn't Huo Yuhao aim for three godhoods as well?
