Chapter 6: The Illusionary Brain Douluo Han Tianyi
Dai Yuhao felt that this dream was exceptionally long, lasting for more than ten days, and he still hadn't woken up.
But these days he was happier than ever before, because there was an abundance of delicious food, and everyone around him was kind and gentle to him. No one bullied him or stole his things like they did at the Duke's mansion.
"Xiao Yuhao".
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Dai Yuhao immediately looked up, his eyes lighting up with bright joy: "Aunt Leng!"
Leng Yaozhu appeared at the doorway, a gentle smile on her face.
She took a few steps closer, squatted down in front of Dai Yuhao, looked him straight in the eye, and asked softly, "Little Yuhao, do you want to become strong? So you can protect your mother in the future."
These words were like a pebble thrown into a still lake, instantly stirring up the most resolute ripples in Dai Yuhao's eyes.
He nodded vigorously with almost no hesitation, his small fist clenching unconsciously, his voice tender yet carrying a rare stubbornness.
"Yes! I want to become stronger, I want to protect my mother!"
As he said this, the scene he had experienced not long ago flashed uncontrollably through his mind.
He and his mother were gagged and forced to do whatever they wanted, unable to even shout.
The deep pain and helpless tears in his mother's eyes, the humiliation and fear brought about by her weakness, were like a thorn stuck in his heart.
The seed of wanting to become stronger was quietly planted at that moment.
At this moment, with a gentle touch from Leng Yaozhu, it broke through the soil and showed a clear desire.
"Okay, then Xiao Yuhao, come with me."
Leng Yaozhu took Dai Yuhao's hand and led him out of the room and into the soul-guided elevator.
In the days that followed, Dai Yuhao had already explored many places in the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda with great curiosity. The initial dazzling sense of novelty had gradually settled into a kind of bewildering familiarity.
The elevator doors slid open again, and Leng Yaozhu led him through a softly lit corridor, finally stopping in front of a seemingly simple door.
She pushed open the door and entered, with Dai Yuhao following closely behind.
The room was small, even somewhat empty.
The walls were all white, without any decorations or furnishings, so clean it was almost desolate.
The only thing that caught the eye was a tall, elderly man dressed in a plain gray robe sitting cross-legged directly opposite the room.
Dai Yuhao tilted his head subconsciously, a hint of surprise flashing in his clear eyes.
The old man was completely empty beneath him, yet he remained suspended silently a few feet above the ground, his robe hem motionless, as if frozen in another dimension.
"What brings you here today, Deputy Tower Master Leng, to grace my humble abode with your presence?"
The old man's voice was strong yet peaceful, echoing softly in the empty room.
His eyes remained closed, but he had clearly already sensed the identity of the newcomer.
Leng Yaozhu's face showed just the right amount of respect and a smile: "Elder Han, I apologize for disturbing you, but I have a favor to ask."
As she spoke, she turned and gently led Dai Yuhao to her side, placing her hand on the child's thin shoulder: "This child... has a weak innate foundation and insufficient qi and blood. I would like to ask you to take a look and see if you can help him regulate his condition."
The "Old Han" mentioned by Leng Yaozhu is actually named Han Tianyi, a level 98 Super Douluo with the title Illusion Brain.
His martial soul is extremely special; it is his own brain. Originally belonging to the Body Sect, he later joined the Spirit Transmission Tower and was highly respected within it.
Leng Yaozhu came here specifically because she valued the Body Sect's profound understanding of the mysteries of the human body.
Since she had decided to wait three years for her martial soul to awaken, she naturally wanted to ensure that Dai Yuhao was healthy and had a solid foundation during this period, so that he could be in the best condition to welcome the day of awakening.
Of course, the reason she went to great lengths to persuade Han Tianyi was because she had developed a strong liking for Dai Yuhao after spending so much time with him.
Even if it turns out he wasn't "Huo Yuhao" in the end, she still hopes this child with such a tragic fate can have a good start.
Han Tianyi had now fully opened his eyes. His eyes, which seemed to be able to see through the smallest details, lingered on Dai Yuhao for a moment, and his invisible senses swept over the child like a delicate stream of water.
With his cultivation level, he instantly realized that the child's qi and blood were indeed weak and unstable. Although his bones and muscles were not damaged, he was obviously malnourished and there were some old, hidden injuries in his body. It was not simply a case of "congenital deficiency".
Then, his gaze turned to Leng Yaozhu, and a strange, slightly amused smile suddenly appeared on his aged face.
"This kid... is the one you brought back from outside the other day?"
"What exactly is your relationship with him?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu raised an eyebrow slightly: "I didn't expect that even Elder Han would be interested in these unfounded rumors, just like everyone else."
She was naturally aware of the various speculations about Dai Yuhao's identity within the Spirit Pagoda. Some said he was her junior, others said he was the disciple she was going to take in, and there were even rumors that Dai Yuhao was her illegitimate son.
She has never offered a single word of explanation for this, and her attitude remains unchanged in the face of Han Tianyi's probing.
She simply smiled faintly, her tone relaxed yet carrying an undeniable firmness: "If Elder Han doesn't want to help with this, then I'll take him to someone else."
As she spoke, she made a gesture to take Dai Yuhao's hand and turn to leave.
"Hey...no, no, no!"
Seeing that Leng Yaozhu was really about to leave, Han Tianyi quickly called out to stop her.
The playfulness on his face vanished quickly, replaced by a helpless yet amused seriousness: "You little rascal, still so impatient! When did I ever say I wouldn't help?"
He was well aware of Leng Yaozhu's importance. She was not only the powerful deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, but also the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan, a top-tier soul master family. She was a four-word battle armor master and a quasi-demigod level expert.
If such a person personally comes to him for a request, he would naturally not refuse, whether out of courtesy, reason, public interest, or private considerations.
Leng Yaozhu turned around, a smile of accomplishment on her face: "Then I'll have to trouble Elder Han. I'll leave Xiao Yuhao in your care."
She gently patted Dai Yuhao on the back, gesturing for him to come forward.
Dai Yuhao glanced timidly at the old man floating in the air, then looked back at Aunt Leng who was encouraging him, and finally mustered up his courage to take a small step forward.
He imitated how others bowed before, awkwardly but earnestly bowing: "Han... Hello, Elder Han."
Han Tianyi silently stretched out her legs while sitting cross-legged, and stood up steadily.
Only then did Dai Yuhao truly realize how tall the other person was, probably over two meters tall, like a steady mountain, carrying an invisible sense of oppression.
Han Tianyi smiled at Dai Yuhao first, then the smile faded and her gaze turned to Leng Yaozhu.
"I can agree to help this child, but... there are two conditions."
Seeing that Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly, adopting a "speak freely" attitude.
Han Tianyi stretched out her withered fingers and said slowly, "First, for a child of this age, the best way to strengthen their constitution is through dietary supplements."
"But some of the ingredients needed are quite rare, and collecting them is quite a hassle. My old bones can't handle traveling around like that."
Leng Yaozhu immediately understood and replied decisively, "Elder Han, just provide the list; I'll take care of the ingredients."
"it is good."
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Han Tianyi's eyes, and then he raised a second finger: "Secondly, this kid is not a member of the Body Sect, so I can help regulate his body."
"But the true core secrets and cultivation methods of the Body Sect will never be passed on to him."
"This point must be made clear first."
Leng Yaozhu was not surprised at all and nodded solemnly: "Of course. It is already a favor that Elder Han is willing to help to heal its root. The Body Sect's secret method will never force us."
"Since Deputy Tower Master Leng has agreed to both of your conditions," Han Tianyi's expression relaxed, and he turned his gaze back to the slightly nervous Dai Yuhao: "Then from now on, I will temporarily hand this kid over to you."
