Douluo: Double comparison, this Yuhao is too cruel!

**Chapter 29**

At this moment, in the gap between planes, the soul beasts were left dumbfounded by the scene displayed on the screen.

Although not everyone could see exactly what had happened in the previous image, it did not diminish their astonishment.

This was the psychological state of most soul masters in the gap at that moment.

Though they didn't fully understand what transpired, the image seemed vaguely familiar to them, prompting wide-eyed exclamations of "Wow, wow, wow!"

However, among the myriad soul masters present, there were certainly those well-acquainted with the details.

Consequently, some of the more knowledgeable soul masters began to share professional insights.

Zhang Lexuan: "This is a soul beast's sacrifice!"

Zhang Lexuan: "I didn't expect that Huo Yuhao in the parallel world could receive a soul beast's sacrifice. This is a rite that can only occur if the soul beast is willing to give itself up."

Zhang Lexuan: "Such an opportunity is incredibly rare!"

Jing Hongchen: "This truly is the son of destiny!"

Jing Hongchen: "A first soul ring at ten thousand years! Although this is less impressive than Huo Yuhao in the original timeline, we must remember that he was already twelve years old when he obtained his first soul ring! Huo Yuhao in the parallel world is still younger."

Kong Deming: "Indeed, Huo Yuhao in the parallel world exceeds my expectations."

Kong Deming: "If he continues to develop at this pace, he may reach level ninety-nine before he turns twenty-five."

Kong Deming: "My evaluation of him can be summed up in two words: simply amazing!"

The group continued to express their admiration, astounded by the unfolding scene.

Of course, some soul masters felt a pang of frustration.

Why would this ten-thousand-year-old hidden beast willingly sacrifice itself upon first meeting Huo Yuhao? Could a child of destiny truly act however they wished? This seemed excessive.

In response to the doubts, Gu Yuena spoke up.

"Why was it willing to sacrifice itself? Because Huo Yuhao did it a favor by sparing its cub."

"And as you can see, the Transfiguration Beast died due to serious injuries inflicted by the Wind Baboon."

"So even if it didn't sacrifice itself, it would die soon. The little Transfiguration Beast just informed the ten-thousand-year-old Transfiguration Beast about Huo Yuhao, and the latter sensed a certain force of destiny emanating from him."

"In summary, under various circumstances, it ultimately chose to sacrifice itself, and all of this relates back to Huo Yuhao sparing its cub. Without that act of kindness, none of this would have transpired."

Gu Yuena elaborated, and as the others learned the reasons behind the sacrifice, their jaws dropped in realization.

But they had to concede that Huo Yuhao had earned this fortunate turn of events.

Yes! If he hadn't spared the innocent little hidden beast, this blessing would never have been his.

Sighs of resignation filled the air.

"Good deeds reap rewards."

"It seems I need to perform more kindness in the future and avoid harming the innocent."

"…"

One soul master after another echoed this sentiment.

Upon witnessing this, Gu Yuena couldn't help but feel hopeful.

She had not anticipated that the parallel Huo Yuhao would end up a positive example; he had truly acted admirably!

Her perception of the parallel Huo Yuhao brightened.

The group continued to watch the unfolding scene.

At that moment, in the picture:

[Huo Yuhao quickly sat cross-legged on the ground to regulate his breath, having initiated the sacrifice ceremony.]

[He could sense the soul power within him growing stronger, so he focused on circulating his soul power to maintain his composure.]

[Hong Ling and the others watched in awe.]

["Is this a soul beast's sacrifice?"]

["Oh my God! What kind of luck does Yuhao have? He's managed to compel a soul beast to sacrifice itself! That little hidden beast seems to be the one he let go earlier. No wonder!"]

[Being a six-ring soul emperor, Hong Ling understood what sacrifice meant, and after realizing the situation, she and her mercenary companions were left speechless.]

[They were almost drooling with envy since the benefits of a soul beast's sacrifice far exceeded those of simply absorbing soul rings!]

[Firstly, a soul beast's sacrifice can bypass the upper limit that typically constrains a soul master's absorption of soul rings. In contrast, when a soul master absorbs a soul ring, they must contend with the resentment embedded in the ring. The longer a soul ring has existed, the stronger that resentment is, requiring the soul master to exert willpower to suppress it.]

[However, since this was a voluntary sacrifice, there was no resentment attached to the soul ring. This meant the soul master could effortlessly absorb the ring, gaining tremendous power from it!]

[Hence, Hong Ling and her companions were filled with envy at that moment.]

[Yet they also recognized the rarity of such occurrences, prompting them to remain vigilant and supportive of Huo Yuhao.]

[While Huo Yuhao absorbed the potent soul power of the ten-thousand-year hidden beast, he also connected with it in his spiritual realm.]

[The ten-thousand-year hidden beast explained the reasoning behind its sacrifice.]

[As Gu Yuena mentioned, there were three motivating factors: one, it was nearing death; two, Huo Yuhao had previously saved its offspring; and three, there was a faint sense of destiny resonating from Huo Yuhao.]

[Thus, this ten-thousand-year hidden beast made the courageous choice to offer itself for Huo Yuhao. It had just one request—to ensure Huo Yuhao took good care of its child in the future.]

["Don't worry, I promise you; as long as I'm alive, I will take good care of it."]

[Huo Yuhao readily agreed to the ten-thousand-year-old hidden beast's request.]

[Upon hearing his promise, the ten-thousand-year hidden beast smiled with relief before fully merging into Huo Yuhao's body.]

[Huo Yuhao continued to absorb the powerful soul power.]

[In the end, as he completely absorbed the soul power, he opened his eyes!]

[A surge of powerful soul energy radiated from him, quickly spreading outward.]

[Then, a shimmering black soul ring emerged from beneath Huo Yuhao's feet!]

[This was Huo Yuhao's first soul ring—a 14,000-year-old black soul ring!]
