Two Months Later, Subdue Ice Empress!
Within the Sea of Spirit.
Huo Yuhao originally wanted to respond to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's reply.
But at that very moment, the system's voice suddenly rang out.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully unlocked the mission!]
[Subdue Ice Empress! Note: Success is considered achieved by making Hyotei a part of the host's Martial Soul, as in the original work. However, if Ice Empress can maintain its physical body and willingly help the host, it will be considered an overachievement of the mission!]
[Task Rewards: 1 B-Rank Blind Box (for normal task completion) 1 A-Rank Blind Box (for exceeding the target)]
Upon hearing the system's voice, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up, and a surge of intense joy welled up within him.
"A new mission has been unlocked!"
He quickly calmed himself down and began to examine the specific description of the mission.
Soon, they gained a certain understanding of the task content and rewards.
Huo Yuhao focused his attention on the A-Rank Blind Box.
The gap between Huo Yuhao and Tang San was too great. In order to bridge this gap, he needed to become stronger at all costs, so he naturally wouldn't let go of any opportunity to become stronger.
Therefore, given the same reward, he would definitely choose the bigger one!
"However, how to Subdue Ice Empress is a difficult problem."
"Following the original story's route is not difficult."
"But if we want to go the route of exceeding the mission's objectives, then Ice Empress needs to survive the Heavenly Tribulation."
"I don't have that ability now. Besides, in the original story, Ice Empress only chose to become Huo Yuhao's martial Martial Soul because her lifespan was about to end. If she survives the Thunder Tribulation, how could Ice Empress, with her pride, possibly submit to me?"
Huo Yuhao kept thinking.
After some thought, Huo Yuhao felt a great headache, because with his current trump cards, it seemed impossible to Subdue Ice Empress without following the methods described in the original story.
"We can only take it one step at a time."
"In the original novel, Huo Yuhao went to the Land of the Extreme North during his vacation. I'll set the time around that as well."
"Use this time to complete other tasks and see if you can gain the ability to break the deadlock."
"If we can't get it, then we can only follow the old path of the original work."
"Although it's a bit of a pity, I've still completed the task and received the reward. Besides, I've been stuck at level 20 for a long time, and it's not a good thing to keep dragging it out."
Huo Yuhao made a decision in his mind.
He snapped out of his reverie and quickly looked toward the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
Then, he smiled at Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and said, "Don't worry, Brother Sky Dream, since Ice Empress is so important to you, I will try my best to help you save her."
"However, we don't have time to go to the Land of the Extreme North yet, so let's schedule it for when we have a vacation."
"There are still about two months until the holiday. After two months, I will go with you to the Land of the Extreme North."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm happily agreed, "Okay!"
His eyes were filled with gratitude as he looked at Huo Yuhao.
After all, this mission also carries considerable risk for Huo Yuhao. Under normal circumstances, most people would be unwilling to go after learning of such dangers.
Goddess of Life is the most important thing; no one is unafraid of death.
Therefore, after Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finished speaking, she was afraid that Huo Yuhao would refuse.
But Huo Yuhao chose to agree, which Sky Dream Ice Silkworm saw as being all for his sake!
As she continued to look at Huo Yuhao, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's eyes were filled with deep gratitude. "Yuhao, I will definitely help you become stronger with all my heart! Don't those Martial Soul Department guys all look down on you? I'll back you up and give them a good slap in the face!"
Huo Yuhao sensed Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's emotional fluctuations and chuckled, "Thank you, Brother Sky Dream."
But Sea of Spirit.
Shrek Academy, Freshman Class One.
At Wang Yan's personal request, Xuan Zi reluctantly came to Freshman Class One.
He stretched out his rather greasy palm and placed it on Huo Yuhao's chest. After examining it for a while, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.
"You're mistaken. His Body Martial Soul hasn't undergone Second Awakening."
Hearing this, Wang Yan asked in confusion, "That can't be right. If it wasn't Martial Soul Second Awakening, why did his Divine Power become so terrifying before? I feel that some three- or four-ring Soul Master don't have as strong Divine Power as him. Xuan Zi, why don't we wait until he wakes up and then try again?"
But Xuan Zi was already completely impatient.
He was only here reluctantly in the first place. He had already seen Huo Yuhao's situation at the New Student Competition, and at that time he thought that the kid had no potential for development.
He was only able to show off his power by relying on the power of the Soul Tool. Two years later, when his peers' Soul Power Level have improved while he is still stuck in the same place, the gap between them will become apparent. That's why Xuan Zi has never been optimistic about Huo Yuhao.
If Wang Yan hadn't been so persistent, he wouldn't have come with him.
The test just now successfully proved his idea.
Therefore, Xuan Zi shrugged and said with considerable dissatisfaction, "No need to try. Little Wang! I know you've been researching Body Martial Soul, but you can't just leave it at that. This kid does have Body Martial Soul, but that doesn't mean all Body Martial Soul are worth cultivating."
"For us Soul Master, Martial Soul and Soul Power are both indispensable. In some ways, Soul Power is even more important than Martial Soul. Because now that we have Soul Tool, if your Martial Soul is not good, but your Soul Power is high, you can use Soul Tool. But if your Soul Power is not good, you really can't do anything."
"This kid's talent is too poor. He can't improve his Soul Power and has no future. You should spend less time on him."
After saying that, he picked up the gourd, took a swig, and turned to leave.
Wang Yan sighed in disappointment, but he had no choice but to obediently escort Xuan Zi back.
The other students in the class, such as Dai Huabin and Wu Feng who had just returned from the infirmary, all wore smug smiles after hearing Xuan Zi's words.
Yes! So what if Huo Yuhao can act tough now? In two years, with their talent, they'll really beat Huo Yuhao to a pulp!
Huo Yuhao woke up at this time.
Not only did he wake up, but he also heard Elder Xuan Zi's evaluation of him.
Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong, standing to one side, didn't look down on him because of this. After all their previous experiences, they had become good friends. Moreover, both Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong had a lot of confidence in Huo Yuhao, and neither of them believed what Xuan Zi had said.
So when she saw Huo Yuhao wake up, Xiao Xiao immediately said, "Class monitor, don't take it to heart. Xuan Zi doesn't understand you."
Wang Dong, standing to the side, nodded seriously at him.
Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
This scene was utterly ridiculous to Dai Huabin, Wu Feng, and the others.
Dai Huabin glanced at Huo Yuhao and sneered, "Self-deception!"
