Don't Make Me the One You Chase

The entire Spirit Fighting Arena had turned into a frozen wasteland. Xie Yue half-kneeled on the ground, breathing heavily, his eyes filled with confusion.

Looking back on his past, Xie Yue could not help but sigh.

When his Martial Soul had first awakened, he had been hailed as a genius among geniuses with Level 9 Innate Soul Power.

Later, through his own Unremitting Efforts, he had defeated countless opponents along the way.

The hottest geniuses from previous classes of Spirit Hall Academy had all been challenged above his level and ruthlessly Trampled beneath Xie Yue's feet. He had fought until no one in the entire academy dared challenge him.

Xie Yue had once believed that, in this golden age of Spirit Hall, he would become the undisputed leader of his generation.

But he had never imagined that an absurdly powerful Huo Yuhao would emerge out of nowhere. Whether it was strength, talent, or looks, Huo Yuhao was truly unparalleled.

Xie Yue genuinely suspected that Huo Yuhao had cheats enabled, though he had no proof.

Xie Yue truly could not accept it. But what use was unwillingness? He simply could not defeat Huo Yuhao.

The moment Huo Yuhao had struck him with that palm, all the Soul Power in his body had instantly been sealed. Xie Yue had no doubt that Huo Yuhao had possessed the ability to kill him on the spot.

As for Yan beside him, his condition was even worse. Having taken Huo Yuhao's Ice Extreme Unrivaled head-on, Yan had been forced to increase his Soul Power output to resist the extreme cold. Now, the Soul Power in his body had been completely drained, leaving him without even a shred of strength.

"How... how did you do it? Could a Level 18 Soul Master really possess such powerful strength?"

Xie Yue's voice trembled as he looked at Huo Yuhao.

"You're already very strong. Among people your age, you're monsters among monsters."

Huo Yuhao slowly extended his hands toward Xie Yue and Yan.

Yan and Xie Yue exchanged a glance, then both reached for Huo Yuhao's hands.

Huo Yuhao pulled them up from the ground, then turned his back to them and walked off the arena. Just as he was about to leave the stage, Xie Yue and Yan clearly heard Huo Yuhao's voice.

"Don't make me the one you chase. It'll break your mentality. You two are Spirit Hall's true geniuses, our real Golden Generation. I don't want to see you become dejected."

Huo Yuhao paused before continuing, "Let me leave you with these words: Starlight does not ask those who travel beneath it, and hard work never betrays the devoted. Since you have clearly recognized your own smallness, you should all the more look up at the vastness of the universe!"

Electrolux had said those words to him in his previous life, and Huo Yuhao had always treated them as his personal motto.

Only after Huo Yuhao finished speaking and walked over to Bibi Dong did the surrounding spectators finally recover from their shock.

Everyone knew that Spirit Hall was about to change.

Before this, everyone had believed that Spirit Hall's future would belong to Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan. After all, the three of them were Spirit Hall's true geniuses.

But now, and perhaps even for the next hundred years, all of Spirit Hall would belong to Huo Yuhao's era.

The moment Huo Yuhao had revealed himself to the public, he had ruthlessly Trampled Spirit Hall's Golden Generation beneath his feet with overwhelming strength.

At only six years old, he possessed Twin Martial Souls, a thousand-year First Soul Ring, and now he had defeated Xie Yue and Yan, both Level 35 Soul Elders, with nothing but Level 18 Soul Power.

Each of those achievements hung high above the heads of everyone at Spirit Hall Academy like the sun, dazzling beyond measure.

Any one of these accomplishments, taken alone, could have created an unparalleled prodigy. Yet all of them had been concentrated in one person!

This was simply heaven decreeing Spirit Hall's rise to greatness!

And with the conclusion of this match, the turmoil it caused had only just begun.

In the rear courtyard of the Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu sat in a chair, sipping tea. He had already learned of the uproar Huo Yuhao had caused at Spirit Hall Academy.

However, what concerned Qian Daoliu at that moment was not Huo Yuhao defeating Yan and Xie Yue with Level 18 Soul Power, but the soul skills Huo Yuhao had used.

If Qian Daoliu was not mistaken, the skills Huo Yuhao had just used were Snow Empress's Three Absolutes.

Emperor's Palm, Great Cold Without Snow!

Emperor Sword, Ice Extreme Unrivaled!

As for why Qian Daoliu knew these two skills so well, it was because he had fought Snow Empress before.

After attaining the pinnacle, Qian Daoliu had traveled across the entire continent. During that time, he had naturally exchanged blows with many strong people.

Besides Bo Saixi and Tang Chen among the human powerhouses, Qian Daoliu had also challenged Snow Empress, leader of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North, as well as the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

Among them, his battle with Snow Empress had left the deepest impression on Qian Daoliu.

Although Snow Empress's cultivation could not compare to that of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, with Snow Empress's Three Absolutes and the Heaven and Earth Power of the entire Extreme North, her strength had been evenly matched with the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

And among Snow Empress's Three Absolutes, the most powerful was undoubtedly Emperor Sword, Ice Extreme Unrivaled!

Putting aside those old memories for now, Qian Daoliu only wanted to know one thing: how had Huo Yuhao learned Snow Empress's Three Absolutes?

An idea inevitably surfaced in Qian Daoliu's mind. The Heavenly Snow Woman, Nurtured by heaven and earth, was a peerless beauty. Combined with the succubus attributes Huo Yuhao possessed...

"Hiss... Could it be that Yuhao and Snow Empress have something going on too?"

The more Qian Daoliu thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

After all, Huo Yuhao was practically a Concept God when it came to succubi.

First there had been Bibi Dong, then Hu Liena, and finally that Young Girl of breathtaking beauty he had casually picked up from the roadside. Adding a Heavenly Snow Woman now did not seem all that hard to accept.

At that thought, the urgency in Qian Daoliu's heart grew stronger and stronger.

The girls around Huo Yuhao were becoming more and more outrageous. Now even the Heavenly Snow Woman, leader of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North, had joined them. Who would it be next? Qian Daoliu did not dare imagine it.

Not daring to delay in the slightest, Qian Daoliu took out a sheet of paper, picked up the quill beside him, dipped it in ink, and began scribbling rapidly.

"Dear Xue'er, seeing this letter is like seeing you in person. How have you been lately? Grandpa misses you terribly. When are you coming back?"

Qian Daoliu took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, then dipped the quill in ink again and continued writing.

"How have you considered the matter Grandpa mentioned last time... Yuhao has become more and more outstanding. Your mother and I are both prepared to name Yuhao the Holy Son of Spirit Hall."

Qian Daoliu thought for a moment and changed Little Yuhao to Yuhao. After all, the boy was nearly grown up now, and adding "little" felt strange.

Recalling Qian Renxue's appearance, Qian Daoliu smiled as he finished writing the remaining contents.

"At the Holy Son Conferment Ceremony seven days from now, you must come and see him. After all, Yuhao was raised by Grandpa himself, and he is also the Granddaughter's husband Grandpa personally found for you. You must make time to get acquainted—your loving Grandpa, Qian Daoliu..."
