Chapter 28: Chapter 28
**Chapter 28**
As soul beasts, Di Tian, Wang Qiuer, Gu Yuena, and others naturally admired the behavior of the parallel Huo Yuhao.
After witnessing his actions, everyone expressed their opinions in the chat room and praised him directly.
However, the soul masters felt a bit puzzled.
Many individuals voiced their opinions in the chat room:
"To be honest, I really can't figure out Huo Yuhao in the parallel world."
"Previously, he slaughtered everyone in the Duke's Mansion, which made me see him as a butcher and executioner."
"But now he's letting innocent soul beasts go. How can this be explained?"
Bibi Dong could no longer stay silent and said:
"Is it possible that he just has a clear sense of gratitude and resentment?"
"Although he isn't a virtuous person, he can't be deemed a bad one."
"After all, Huo Yuhao in the parallel world killed those people in the Duke's Mansion for a reason."
"There isn't anyone in that mansion who hasn't bullied him, so it makes sense that he killed them all."
"And this soul beast has no grudge against him, so he naturally doesn't want to kill innocent creatures."
The group of soul masters suddenly understood.
"So, that's how it is. It makes sense."
"However, in that case, I admire the character of Huo Yuhao in the parallel world."
"After all, humans are contradictory creatures. There are no perfectly good people or perfectly evil ones. Compared to those hypocrites and the truly evil, I prefer his character."
"If someone treats me with respect, I will reciprocate. If someone criticizes me, I will respond in kind. This personality is indeed much more free and honest."
The group of soul masters continued to discuss.
Everyone in the gap between the planes gained a new understanding of the character of the parallel Huo Yuhao.
At this moment, a loud ID appeared in the chat room.
God of Judgement: "This kid's personality suits my temperament quite well. His talent and ability are also outstanding. It's a pity he's in a parallel world; otherwise, I would choose him as my successor."
God of Judgement: "However, my preferences in the parallel world should be similar. If I find him in the future, I might make the same choice."
The chat room buzzed with astonishment at this revelation.
Tang San couldn't help but frown. He recalled that the God of Judgement was a first-level god, one of the few among the top first-level deities.
If Huo Yuhao in the parallel world was also valued by him, that could complicate matters.
On the other hand, Huo Yuhao in the original timeline was completely dumbfounded.
His parallel world self was still young, yet he had already attracted the attention of two gods.
But what about him?
It seemed he had yet to be acknowledged by any gods.
This left him feeling somewhat envious.
And back in the picture, the events continued unfolding.
[After releasing the Transfiguration Beast that had cultivated for decades, Huo Yuhao and his party resumed their journey.]
[They pressed deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest, determined to find a Transfiguration Beast suitable for Huo Yuhao to absorb.]
[However, Transfiguration Beasts were notoriously rare, and they were also quite adept at hiding.]
[As such, Huo Yuhao and his party searched for quite a while within the Star Dou Great Forest but still couldn't find a suitable soul beast.]
[Despite this, Huo Yuhao remained undeterred. He maintained his calm and continued searching.]
[Finally, a violent roar echoed through the forest, prompting Huo Yuhao and his party to hurry toward the sound, where they encountered another hidden beast.]
[But rather than just one, they found three creatures. Among them was a ferocious ten-thousand-year-old Wind Baboon.]
[The other two were hidden beasts: one with ten thousand years of cultivation and the other with only a few decades.]
[It was at this moment that Huo Yuhao and his team recognized one of the hidden beasts as the one they had released earlier.]
[They hadn't expected Huo Yuhao to have formed a bond with this hidden beast.]
[But he didn't want to dwell on this matter too long.]
[Having observed the situation carefully, Huo Yuhao estimated that the larger hidden beast likely possessed tens of thousands of years of cultivation.]
[The main reason Huo Yuhao had let the smaller one go earlier was that it was insufficiently cultivated, and he had no interest in absorbing a beast of such low level. But now the concern was the opposite: the larger beast's cultivation was too high. Absorbing a soul ring from a ten-thousand-year-old beast would be beyond Huo Yuhao's capabilities.]
[Thus, he believed there was no reason to linger here. At that moment, the ten-thousand-year Wind Baboon was completely enraged. It lunged at the hidden beast, striking at its vital point with one claw while laughing maniacally. If they approached recklessly, they would likely end up as its next victims.]
[Huo Yuhao wisely called for the mercenary group to retreat for safety.]
[However, the Wind Baboon noticed them in that instant.]
[Upon spotting Huo Yuhao and his party, the Wind Baboon roared loudly and charged at them like a raging beast.]
["Yuhao, step back!" Hong Ling and the others looked extremely serious.]
[In an instant, the seven mercenaries summoned their martial spirits, and spirit rings appeared around their bodies.]
[The benefit of hiring a reliable mercenary group became clear. Had Huo Yuhao ventured alone, he probably would have been defeated on the spot by this ten-thousand-year-old Wind Baboon.]
[But now, with the help of the mercenaries, each of them summoned spirit rings that displayed strengths of five or even six rings.]
[Through their coordinated effort, they managed to slay the ten-thousand-year Wind Baboon on the spot!]
[Huo Yuhao effectively resolved this challenging situation.]
[Then, a ten-thousand-year spirit ring emerged from the vanquished Wind Baboon's body.]
[Unfortunately, since none of the others present lacked soul rings, Huo Yuhao, the only one who could absorb it, was unable to handle the power of the ten-thousand-year soul ring, resulting in a wasted opportunity.]
[Everyone felt a bit regretful upon witnessing this but could do nothing about it. Seeing the dying ten-thousand-year hidden beast on the ground, they decided to ignore it and prepared to leave.]
[At that moment, the smaller hidden beast chirped a few words into the ear of the ten-thousand-year hidden beast.]
[A strange light flickered in the eyes of the ten-thousand-year hidden beast.]
[It struggled to its feet and slowly approached Huo Yuhao.]
[Then, its body began to shimmer with golden light as pure soul power was transformed into radiant energy, continuously flowing into Huo Yuhao's body!]
