Currently, Huo Yuhao only had fifteen years left. Within fifteen years, it was unrealistic for the Martial Soul Hall to vigorously develop the Soul Tool System.
The only option was to replace the Sun Moon Empire of ten thousand years ago, relying on the elite Soul Master corps ten thousand years later to deal with the armies of the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire from that era, achieving a true dimensionality reduction strike.
As for that Tang Shenwang, who sat high above overlooking the mortal world, Huo Yuhao also decided to put on a grand show for him called Pulling The Rug Out From Under.
Huo Yuhao's ambitions had never stopped there. Joining Shrek Academy was merely to form the Yin Yang Complementary Twin Soul Cores. What he truly intended was to start from Shrek Academy, alter history bit by bit, then overturn the continent's structure ten thousand years later, and finally drag that lofty Tang Shenwang down from his divine pedestal, making him watch as Huo Yuhao climbed peak after peak from Shrek Academy.
Huo Yuhao would step by step, step by step ascend to godhood, then pull him down.
What Huo Yuhao wanted to do was Subordinate Over Superior!
As long as this plan succeeded, the Sun Moon Empire would henceforth be renamed the Spirit Hall Empire. The torrent of history, even Tang San as a god king, could not stop it.
Moreover, the membrane covering the outside of the Douluo Continent planet was also accumulating and replenishing energy, waiting to deliver a fatal blow to Tang San in the future.
"Huo Yuhao pays respects to Teacher." Huo Yuhao bowed slightly to Fan Yu.
"Good child, rise." Fan Yu looked at him with satisfaction and gave Huo Yuhao's shoulder a firm pat, smiling. "Learning Soul Tool Crafting is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It requires long-term effort, possibly a lifetime. You are an Ultimate Attribute soul master, and I don't want to disturb your normal cultivation. How about this: starting tomorrow, come to me for two hours after class each day to learn Soul Tool Crafting. The rest of your time is yours to manage freely. If there's anything about soul tools you don't understand, you can also come ask your teacher."
Huo Yuhao nodded. "Alright."
Fan Yu gave Huo Yuhao the key to this Soul Tool Laboratory and led him around the place to get familiar with it.
In the evening, Huo Yuhao finished dinner but didn't return to the New Student Dormitory. Instead, he came to the Lakeside of Sea God Lake.
With Huo Yuhao becoming a dual Core Disciple of both the Soul Tool System and the Martial Soul System, from now on, he no longer had to pay for meals in the canteen, and every meal could be the finest ingredients.
Tonight's nightscape was beautiful. Countless stars hung high in the sky, and a bright full moon cast soft moonlight.
"You're here quite early."
Ma Xiaotao's voice sounded from behind. Huo Yuhao turned and looked at Ma Xiaotao in her red dress—the symbol of an Inner Courtyard Disciple was red.
Huo Yuhao leaned against the railing by the Lakeside of Sea God Lake, took a deep breath of the evening breeze, and felt his mind relax. "I'm a man of my word. Once I agree to something, I always follow through."
"Can you tell me about the Mysterious Fire Elemental Energy inside you?" Ma Xiaotao also leaned against the railing, her Eyes Met with Huo Yuhao's.
Huo Yuhao looked at her for a moment until Ma Xiaotao blushed, then coughed to break the awkwardness. "Do you know about Heaven and Earth Yuan Power?"
Ma Xiaotao said, "I've read about it in the Inner Courtyard's Library Pavilion. Heaven and Earth Yuan Power is the primal energy of the world, the root of all matter and spirit. Our world is composed of various elements, like metal, wood, water, fire, earth. Martial Soul attributes are related to them. For example, my Evil Fire Phoenix is a Fire Attribute."
"Could it be that the mysterious unknown energy that flowed into my body before is the legendary Heaven and Earth Yuan Power!"
Huo Yuhao nodded. "That's right. I contain both Extreme Fire and Extreme Ice Heaven and Earth Yuan Power within me, and their concentration is very high. My Second Spirit, the Ice Jade Scorpion, and your Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul correspond to these two attributes respectively. The presence of Heaven and Earth Yuan Power in my body has a significant impact on both your and my soul master cultivation speed and Martial Soul Quality."
"This came to me through a stroke of luck, and such an opportunity cannot be replicated."
After Huo Yuhao finished explaining, Ma Xiaotao finally understood just how much she had benefited from Huo Yuhao during their two previous joint efforts to resolve the evil fire crisis. For a time, Ma Xiaotao felt that Huo Yuhao's weight in her heart was growing heavier.
Most of it was guilt. Having received such a huge favor, she had nothing to repay.
But thinking back to how, when her evil fire was out of control, she had blurted out that resolving the evil fire crisis meant marrying Huo Yuhao in the future—even though Ma Xiaotao was usually carefree and hot-tempered, she couldn't help blushing now.
"Why... are you so good to me?" Ma Xiaotao asked suddenly after a long silence.
"First, to absorb the Extreme Ice Heaven and Earth Yuan Power within me for my own cultivation, I have to resolve the Extreme Fire issue. So I need a soul master with Extreme Fire to cooperate."
Ma Xiaotao felt a pang of disappointment at this, but quickly accepted it.
However, Huo Yuhao Changed the Subject. "Second, as I said before, I am a man of my word. What I promise, I must fulfill. For example, that day on Sea God Lake... I believe Xiao Tao is also a woman of her word, right?"
At this, Ma Xiaotao nearly fled the scene. A nineteen-year-old woman being openly confessed to by an Eleven Years Old youth—what kind of situation was this!
Ma Xiaotao blushed for only a moment, then her Jade Hand proactively covered Huo Yuhao's. The two walked hand in hand to a bench that resembled one in a park and sat down together.
At that moment, the Extreme Fire and Extreme Ice Heaven and Earth Yuan Power within Huo Yuhao began to slowly merge into both Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao's bodies in equal proportions.
Ma Xiaotao closed her Beautiful Eyes in comfort, and Huo Yuhao began to absorb as well. His Soul Power circulated rapidly, temporarily escaping the slow cultivation state of an Ultimate Attribute soul master. As the two types of Heaven and Earth Yuan Power left Huo Yuhao's body and merged into Ma Xiaotao's, their Soul Power went from initial repulsion to gradual contact. With the roaming of the Extreme Fire Heaven and Earth Yuan Power, part of Huo Yuhao's Soul Power actually entered Ma Xiaotao's body, circulated once, and then returned to Huo Yuhao's.
Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao opened their eyes almost simultaneously, both looking incredulous.
Huo Yuhao felt his Soul Power had reached the peak of level thirty-six, and he would break through in just a few days.
Ma Xiaotao was astonished to find that her Soul Power and Huo Yuhao's showed signs of merging, indicating that cultivating like this would lead to the phenomenon of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Following That, both immersed themselves in absorbing the two types of Heaven and Earth Yuan Power. During this process, they sat upright on the bench, maintaining a gap of about twenty centimeters between them.
As time passed, their bodies gradually made contact. By the time the sun slowly rose from the east and a hint of pale light broke over the horizon, Ma Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao woke up back to back. They Looked At Each Other And Smiled. Tonight's cultivation had been greatly rewarding for both.
