now.

The entire Star Luo Plaza had turned into a sea of cheers and excitement.

Even though the Sun Moon Team conceded defeat later, and the match ended in disappointment and failed to meet their expectations, it was still hard not to be excited to witness Shrek win the championship again and continue their undefeated legend.

Moreover, just witnessing the Martial Soul Avatar Soul Saint Ma Xiaotao's Martial Soul made everyone feel that the trip was worthwhile.

Moreover, the final clash between Yuhao and the Hongchen Siblings' Martial Soul Fusion Skill was incredibly shocking and thrilling.

On the Imperial City, Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire kept his gaze fixed on Huo Yuhao. Even someone of his status and position couldn't help but lose his composure and drift off into thought.

What a blessed little guy!

Not only is his talent in Martial Soul exceptional, but his comprehension is also outrageous.

He recognized it after the Ice Soul Blade erupted.

This is clearly an extremely sophisticated combat technique that combines Soul Power and Spiritual Power, as well as the application of the Martial Soul Origin Power!

How old is Huo Yuhao?

Is this... something someone this age can master?

The former is easier to deal with.

Since the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul is Spiritual Attribute Martial Soul, it can be seen that Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Power is definitely very strong. If someone were to guide him, it wouldn't be unacceptable for him to learn how to fuse combat techniques.

However, mastering the Martial Soul Origin Power is difficult.

Only after Soul Master reaches level 70, Soul Saint, can they unlock their Martial Soul Avatar, transforming into their Martial Soul's true form. Only then can they gradually gain a deeper understanding of their Martial Soul and develop its Martial Soul Origin power.

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, is currently only Soul Ancestor.

You told me he was twelve years old?

They're monsters among monsters!

He is absolutely a peerless genius who will be able to reach the Limit Douluo in the future!!

Such a genius, it's such a pity he's already joined Shrek...

Just then, Xu Jiawei looked at his younger sister beside him, whose beautiful eyes were full of joy, and suddenly had an idea.

Sigh, is there any possibility...?

Similarly, Duke White Tiger Dai Hao of the White Tiger was also sizing up Huo Yuhao.

He looked thoughtful, and for some reason, this genius boy from the Shrek Academy gave him a vague sense of familiarity.

Is it just my imagination?

The Shrek team was overjoyed.

In addition to the glory of winning the championship, there are also material rewards.

It was quite an unexpected windfall.

Huo Yuhao was naturally quite happy as well.

With the conclusion of the Soul Master Tournament, he also reaped considerable rewards.

[Achievement triggered!]

[Achieve the Meng Hongchen 'No, it's love at first sight!' and receive the reward 'Love Parting '.]

[Love Parting: Three-Turn Gu Insect, extremely potent, capable of sealing the throat with blood.]

[Comment: This isn't a yandere.]

[Achieve the achievement " Xiao Hongchen: The Taste of the Scent of a Formidable Rival" to receive the Gold Steel Gu.]

[ Gold Steel Gu: Three-Turn Gu Insect, a defensive Gu Insect. After use, a thick layer of golden qi appears all over its body, which can form the prototype of armor.]

[Evaluation: Golden Armor, Combined!]

[Achieve the "Fulfilling the mission" achievement Wang Yan, and receive the reward: Caution Gu.]

[ Caution Gu: Three-Turn Gu Insect, of the Wisdom Path, capable of assisting Soul Master in handling crucial, life-or-death steps.]

[Comment: My entire life has been like walking on thin ice.]

Achieving the "Continuing Shrek's Glory" achievement for Xuan Zi was difficult, and obtaining the reward Eat Strength.

[ Eat Strength: The Six-Turn Immortal Gu is both a source of strength and a means of sustenance. By consuming the meat of beasts or fruits and vegetables that generate strength, it allows the strength-related Dao Marks on Soul Master's body to grow spontaneously, perfectly suited to their own constitution.]

[Review: I'm eating like crazy.]

Well, the appearance of the Immortal Gu is certainly exciting.

Moreover, the power and Dao Marks can be used to enhance one's Martial Soul Origin Power or to experience the Power of Rules.

However, this was already the fourth mission reward he had received from Xuan Zi, which meant that...

Huo Yuhao glanced at it briefly.

[Xuan Zi]

[Relationship: Soulmate ]

[ Achievement Task: Awaiting Refresh]

I suddenly felt a little scared.

Huo Yuhao felt that he hadn't done anything.

How could such a relationship have already been reached in Xuan Zi's eyes?

Never mind, that's just their opinion.

I don't believe it!

With the conclusion of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament, the once bustling Star Luo City gradually returned to tranquility.

The afternoon's championship award ceremony was not open to the public and was not grand, but it still could not conceal the immense value of this honor.

Of course, that doesn't matter, as long as the reward is good.

As the ultimate champions, Shrek Academy received a reward of one million Gold Soul Coin, as well as three Spirit Bone.

Xu Jiawei originally wanted to invite Xuan Zi to directly enter the Royal Treasury to make a selection, but Xuan Zi refused.

As the publicly acknowledged strongest member of the Shrek Academy, he was unwilling to have too much to do with the Star Luo Empire.

Ultimately, Wang Yan represented the Academy in making the selection.

He knows his team members well and has a keen eye for talent. His ability to identify Spirit Bone is extremely strong, no less than that of Xuan Zi.

A true expert's skill is immediately apparent.

The final decision made Xu Jiawei's eyelids twitch; he felt a great pang of regret.

But the words of a king cannot be taken lightly.

We have no choice but to accept it.

The value of these three Spirit Bone is beyond monetary measure; they are priceless.

The reason why the host country of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament needs to be changed every five years is also related to the pressure of this reward.

There are four Spirit Bone as rewards: three for the champion and one for the runner-up.

Moreover, it's for the sake of the country's reputation.

Although the Spirit Bone provided by the Star Luo Empire for the champion and runner-up to choose from are not as good as the Deep Blue Radiance that was previously put as the main attraction at the auction, they are at least all high-quality Spirit Bone with an age of more than 10,000 years.

Generally speaking, such exquisite Spirit Bone can only be seen as the grand finale of major auctions, making them extremely rare treasures.

Even Titled Douluo would be extremely envious.

Wang Yan felt a pang of regret for not finding a suitable Spirit Bone for Huo Yuhao.

Because the Royal Treasury does not contain Spirit Type Spirit Bone that are more than ten thousand years old.

Other attributes suitable for Huo Yuhao are not of high enough quality to be worthy of him.

The profession of Soul Master has existed for tens of thousands of years. Although Spirit Bone have been accumulated to some extent, they are still far from sufficient compared to the number of Soul Master.

Moreover, with ten thousand years of accumulated experience, modern Soul Master have created methods for synthesizing Spirit Bone.

The so-called Spirit Bone Synthesis is the process of combining several related Spirit Bone into a new Spirit Bone through a special method.

The synthesized Spirit Bone has a high chance of increasing power, but there is also nearly a 50% chance of it being damaged.

Because Spirit Bone are so precious, although there are methods to synthesize Spirit Bone, very few people actually dare to try.

However, like the three ten-thousand-year-old Wolf Ape Left Leg Bone that Huo Yuhao obtained before.

If it is Spirit Bone Synthesis, it is basically foolproof.

However, after absorbing the Three-Life Wolf Ape's Spirit Ring, Huo Yuhao already possessed the Teleportation Soul Skill.

This dispelled the idea of synthesizing Spirit Bone.

After all, Spirit Bone that allow for Instant Teleportation are extremely versatile and valuable; in fact, three of them are generally better than one.

Xuan Zi first paid for the Shrek Team's expenses at the Starlight Auction House, and then immediately ordered them to return to the Shrek Academy.

These past few days, he had warned the two from the Body Sect not to have any ulterior motives towards Huo Yuhao.

With the end of the Soul Master Tournament, Lang Ya and Yu Tao tactfully left.

However, Xuan Zi knew very well.

This is just the calm before the storm.

Huo Yuhao revealed more than just his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul during the competition.

It also possesses the Ultimate Ice, Second Martial Soul.

Xuan Zi was absolutely certain that the old monster from the Body Sect would make a move.

Therefore, it would be better to go back to the Academy first.

Only when he returned to the Academy, with Mu En overseeing things, could he truly feel at ease.

Of course, it's definitely not because he chickened out.

This is a strategic retreat.

With Shrek Academy kids present, Xuan Zi had to consider many things; he wasn't as carefree as Du Busi.

night.

Before the familiar, dilapidated graves.

Huo Yuhao was somewhat moved.

This is where he first arrived on Douluo Star, or rather, the anchor point where he awakened his memories of his past life.

It was here that the Achievement System successfully loaded, and Huo Yuhao embarked on a path completely different from the Original Work.

Gazing at the simple wooden tombstone inscribed with "Tomb of my deceased mother Huo Yun'er," Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought.

He never saw Huo Yun'er in person; that gentle woman lived only in Huo Yuhao's memory.

The Original Work says that Huo Yun'er is very beautiful.

It is indeed beautiful, but the beauty of the body has long since disappeared due to years of high-intensity labor; only the beauty of the soul endures.

Even in the final moments of her life, Huo Yun'er did not blame Dai Hao, but instead worried about Huo Yuhao's future.

It's pitiful, lamentable, and tragic.

"I'm back."

Huo Yuhao smiled, exuding confidence and nonchalance.

He is no longer that weak and helpless child.

Instead, he was Soul Ancestor Master who led Shrek Academy to victory and was invincible among the youth of the continent!

The power is not much, but it is enough.

[Achievement triggered!]

[Achieve the achievement ' None But the World Knows You? ' and receive the reward of Immortal Travel.]

[ Immortal Travel: Six-Turn Immortal Gu. Within three breaths, it can take a person to any place they desire, no matter how far away. However, the prerequisite is that the person must have a specific image of that location in their mind. If the location has changed drastically, then using the Immortal Travel Gu will fail.]

[Comment: You are free!]

"Teacher, will the transfer go smoothly?"

Huo Yuhao asked himself.

"Of course," Electrolux replied.

"Once the teacher moves your mother's grave to the Undead Demigod Plane, he will be able to use Necromancy to summon your mother's soul."

Huo Yuhao nodded solemnly. "Thank you for your trouble, teacher."

Buzz—

A pale gray aura swept out from Huo Yuhao's body, and then a pitch-black gate slowly appeared within a five-meter radius of the tomb.

The next moment, the pitch-black door moved upwards.

Slowly, the grave was placed inside.

Elder Yi had promised that once Huo Yuhao reached the Five-Ring Soul King, he could begin to try to receive his inheritance.

Huo Yuhao was naturally willing.

Moreover, with the help of the Gu Insect, especially the Wisdom Path Gu Worm, Huo Yuhao, although currently only Soul Ancestor, has begun to come into contact with Necromancy ahead of time.

Although a person's energy is limited, the Gu Insect will still make a move.

Although most of the Necromancy that Huo Yuhao learned was support-oriented.

But it also broadened his horizons considerably.

The master and disciple often sat and discussed matters in the Undead Demigod Plane, exploring issues such as Soul Skill, Soul Tool, Douluo rules, and even Gu Insect.

The Soul Spirit Contract was perfected here.

For Huo Yuhao, the Undead Demigod Plane was actually more like his home.

It just so happens that I've come to Star Luo City this time.

When Huo Yuhao returned to this familiar place, such a thought arose in his mind.

If everything goes smoothly, that would be the best.

If that doesn't work, then I'll have to have a go at the Pure as Ice and Clean as Jade Sea God.

The next morning.

The Shrek Academy students changed into relatively ordinary clothes and, without alerting the Star Luo Empire's officials, quietly left Star Luo City and flew directly to the Shrek Academy.

This is the journey home.

Just like when they came, Xuan Zi personally led the flight. They even went further, simplifying the return journey to within two days.

He was far too cautious.

There must have been some unspeakable secret in the past.

Sun Moon Empire.

Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Master Academy, Mingde Hall.

This is a spacious hall, decorated not luxuriously, but with a metallic style, mainly in light gold tones.

Above the entrance hangs a plaque with the three large, dark gold characters " Mingde Hall," exuding a strong sense of majesty.

At this moment, a person was sitting upright in a chair in the center of the inner side of the hall.

He looked to be in his early forties, with long, reddish-brown hair. He was not tall, but rather broad-shouldered, and could be described as short and stout. A black robe with gold thread patterns covered his round belly.

This person is none other than Jing Hongchen, the Mingde Hall, a level 93 Titled Douluo, with Martial Soul Toad Soul, Ninth-level Soul Tool Master, and also the grandfather of Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.

"Get up."

A man was prostrate on the ground in front of him; it was Elder Ma, the teacher leading the group.

At this moment, Elder Ma finished his report and stood up as if granted a pardon, respectfully saying:

"Master, I failed in my leadership this time. Please punish me."

Jing Hongchen sighed sadly:

"You didn't do anything wrong either. No one could have imagined that Shrek would send out a Soul Saint expert. No matter who it was, they would have lost. Although the outcome of this tournament is disappointing, it's already a great achievement that you were able to bring the team back intact. Moreover, we gained even more from this trip."

Elder Ma was somewhat shocked by the Mingde Hall's leniency, so he tentatively asked, "Is it that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast embryo that has transformed into a human?"

Jing Hongchen shook his head and said calmly, "We spent a lot of money to buy this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo, so it can only be said to be an equal exchange. Moreover, this thing has also brought us a lot of trouble. So far, three groups of people have tried to sneak into my Mingde Hall to steal things."

"Could it be news about Huo Yuhao?"

Elder Ma continued, "This person is so young, yet his talent and strength are simply astonishing. If he is not eliminated in time, he will definitely be a major enemy of the empire's future."

"That Huo Yuhao is indeed worth paying attention to, but his impact isn't that great. It takes a lot of time to cultivate to the Titled Douluo, let alone Limit Douluo. Time is on our side, so there's no need to worry too much."

Elder Ma looked at Jing Hongchen with some confusion.

Jing Hongchen stood up, patted Elder Ma on the shoulder, and explained to him:

"This competition made Xiao and Meng realize the crisis and that they needed to reflect. After returning, they immediately went into seclusion to reflect and took the initiative to participate in the exchange program with the Shrek Academy. This is the biggest gain from this trip."

"However, since it concerns the safety of the two little ones, I need to go to Shrek Academy in a few days to discuss the specific details of the exchange program."
