First Glimpse

As the dark sky gradually brightened, Ye Qingchen slowly withdrew his palms and let out a long breath. It had taken him the entire night to clear Huo Yuhao's meridians and guide him through a full cycle of the Yin-Yang Creation Art. The process had brought enormous benefits to Huo Yuhao.

"This time, little Yuhao's physical condition won't lag behind theirs anymore. Level nineteen—not bad." Ye Qingchen smiled.

"Wah—"

Huo Yuhao spat out a mouthful of blood and opened his eyes. At that moment, he felt as though all thirty-six thousand pores across his body had opened, and an unprecedented comfort spread through him.

"How do you feel, little Yuhao?" Ye Qingchen asked, patting away dust that did not exist on his clothes.

"Ye-dage, thank you."

Huo Yuhao suppressed the excitement in his heart as he spoke. Ice Silkworm Skydream had also noticed Huo Yuhao's changes. Having lived for so long, it was his first time seeing such a miraculous cultivation art, and his interest was naturally piqued.

"Keep working hard. Circulate the Yin-Yang Creation Art every time you cultivate. Once the art reaches great mastery, your body will cultivate on its own, until you break through its shackles." Ye Qingchen said, patting Huo Yuhao on the head.

The host has improved the physique of Huo Yuhao, the Child of Fortune. The future has changed.

Enhancement Points ×3

Strengthen directly, Ye Qingchen thought.

Enhancement successful.

Current Enhancement Level: 6

"System, what level do I need to reach before I can rival the Dragon God or the Creator God?" Ye Qingchen asked.

According to my calculations, approximately Enhancement Level 70+. The host should remain patient and play it safe for now.

"Fine. I'm still far from it. It'll be some time before I can take on the Divine Realm head-on." Ye Qingchen sighed.

"What are you two planning to do from here on?" Tang Ya asked after finishing her cultivation.

"Plans?" Ye Qingchen shook his head.

"Why not join my sect? The Tang Sect—the number one sect on the continent in the past!"

"Sorry, but I've always been used to living freely and hate restraints. I won't join any sect. Besides, right now, I only want to watch little Yuhao grow up," Ye Qingchen said.

"Ye-dage..." It was also the first time Huo Yuhao had encountered someone who cared so much about him. The pain in his heart found a measure of comfort.

"Brother Bei, if you have nothing else to do, you can leave first. Perhaps we'll meet again before long," Ye Qingchen said.

"Alright."

Most of the Star Dou Great Forest lay within the borders of the Star Luo Empire, with only a small portion located in the Heaven Soul Empire. Shrek Academy, Ye Qingchen's destination on this journey, lay northwest of the Star Dou Great Forest and was not too far away.

Shrek Academy often sent students into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts, earning the deep hatred of the powerful soul beasts within. There had even been major incidents where large numbers of soul beasts surged out of the forest and launched a Beast Tide against Shrek Academy.

Ye Qingchen and Huo Yuhao made their way toward Shrek Academy at a fairly unhurried pace. Along the way, Ye Qingchen taught him each of the cultivation methods provided by the system.

Of them, Huo Yuhao gained the greatest understanding of the Yin-Yang Creation Art and Divine Void Vision. As for the Three Thousand Thunder Illusory Body, he had only just grasped the basics.

Though only eleven years old, Huo Yuhao never forgot to cultivate while traveling. After hearing Ye Qingchen explain that continuously using Soul Skills could also slightly increase Soul Power, he kept using Spirit Detection Sharing whenever he could still endure it.

Whenever they stopped to rest, he immediately began cultivating the Yin-Yang Creation Art. While traveling, he had to split his attention between releasing his skill and pondering the Three Thousand Thunder Illusory Body.

It was precisely because Huo Yuhao often remained in meditation for long periods while cultivating the Yin-Yang Creation Art that their journey to Shrek Academy was slowed.

Honestly, if he did not need to harvest Enhancement Points and increase his strength, Ye Qingchen would not have wanted to attend an academy at all. After all, wouldn't it be embarrassing for a god to go study at a school?

"Little Yuhao, you can't keep yourself wound so tight all the time. You should rest when it's time to rest. Otherwise, if this goes on, won't you turn into a wooden dummy?" Ye Qingchen said sternly.

Huo Yuhao nodded. "I understand, Ye-dage."
