The moment the head of Sea God Tang San's statue exploded, not only were the students and teachers who saw it stunned, but the Sea God Pavilion members gathered by the shore of Sea God Lake were also alarmed, nearly believing a powerful expert had come to attack Shrek.
When everyone soared into the air and discovered it was Xuan Zi who had done it, they all restrained their auras.
"Xuan Zi, what are you doing now?" Mu En looked at the returning Xuan Zi with a headache.
Xuan Zi said matter-of-factly, "What am I doing? Of course, I'm dealing with that Tang San who dared to poach from the academy and scheme against our Shrek Prodigy!"
"I don't think I did anything wrong. If Elder Mu thinks I'm wrong, then I'll withdraw from the Sea God Pavilion. It's fine to be an idle person in the academy from now on. Just hearing the words 'Sea God' pisses me off!"
After smashing the Sea God's head to vent his anger, Xuan Zi felt great and didn't care at all about resigning from his position. This wasn't the first time he had threatened to quit.
Every time he caused trouble, he resigned. Tsk, it never failed!
Even without a position, he was still a ninety-eighth-ranked Super Douluo. Did the academy really think they could treat him like an idle person?
Looking at Xuan Zi, who was as thick-skinned as a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, Mu En sighed with mental exhaustion, but at the same time, he let go of the last burden in his heart.
On one hand, Shrek had already prepared to face the Sea God's Wrath and would protect Huo Yuhao to the death.
On the other hand, they couldn't help but cling to a sliver of hope: what if the Sea God, now that his schemes were exposed in the Heavenly Screen, had some shame left and wouldn't bother targeting Shrek?
Although this possibility was slim, it was human nature to hold onto hope in the face of danger.
Therefore, before this, the high-level officials of Shrek had tacitly agreed not to mention changing the names of the Sea God Pavilion and Sea God Lake, nor to completely sever ties with the Sea God.
But Xuan Zi's move directly blew the Sea God's head off, leaving Shrek with no room for turning back.
Not to mention a sinister and vicious god like the Sea God, even if it were another god, facing such blatant hostility and desecration from Shrek, they would choose to strike back with full force!
But there was also a benefit: once this news spread, no one on the entire continent could use Tang San's connections to slander Shrek Academy, claiming that Shrek and Tang San were birds of a feather.
After all, Shrek, in order to draw a clear line with the evil Sea God, had risked enduring divine wrath to blow up the head of the Sea God statue! What other method of cutting ties could compare to this?!
"Now get the hell out of here and go search along the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest for Bei Bei and Yuhao!" Mu En took a deep breath and told Xuan Zi to scram.
While things were bustling inside Shrek Academy, the scenes in the Heavenly Screen continued.
[Leaving Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao traveled north, searching for mysterious legends of resurrection among the people along the way, heading toward the Extreme North.
Finally, when Huo Yuhao stepped into the vast snowfield, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who had been sleeping for a long time, awakened.
"Oh, have I been asleep this long? Is your semester over?" The awakened Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was very lively.
"No, I just dropped out of Shrek Academy." A faint smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's cold face. "It's just right that Brother Tian Meng woke up when I reached the Extreme North. Maybe heaven is helping me."
After a conversation, Tian Meng, having understood Huo Yuhao's current situation, pondered for a moment and gently advised, "Yuhao, the path you've chosen won't be easy."
"But if I don't take it, there will never be hope."
Huo Yuhao replied, then changed the subject, saying, "Brother Tian Meng, are you confident? I'm really looking forward to what you said about making Snow Empress and Ice Empress my Wisdom Soul Rings."
Tian Meng said proudly, "Of course. We can start with Ice Empress. I already have a perfect plan!"
"Then let's set off."
Huo Yuhao tightened his thick clothes and stepped into the wind and snow.
The next instant, the scene changed.
Deep in the Extreme North, Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm successfully lured Ice Empress and trapped her using a silkworm cocoon.
After some discussion, Ice Empress, unwilling to fall to the four hundred thousand year heavenly tribulation, was successfully persuaded to sacrifice herself to Huo Yuhao and, with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's help, retain her self-awareness and become a Wisdom Soul Ring.
"Yuhao, when I sacrifice, I can condense a soul bone and choose its location. What position of soul bone do you want?" Ice Empress asked.
"The strongest parts of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion are its pincers and tail needle. I think Yuhao should take a Scorpion Tail External Soul Bone."
Tian Meng suggested, "Soul bones from other parts can be obtained later, even bought with money, but a growth-type external soul bone is never too many."
After confirming the soul bone's position, Ice Empress said, "Then I'll begin. After the sacrifice starts, I'll first help you fuse the soul bone. I can guarantee your safety during this process, but it will be very painful. You must endure."
"First, fuse the soul bone. Your physical qualities will improve in all aspects, and when you absorb the soul ring later, you'll be able to integrate more soul power."
"I'm ready!" Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and nodded firmly.
The next instant, Ice Empress began the sacrifice!
Violent power radiated from her body, which was not large for a soul beast, and an emerald green light pillar shot into the sky! The magnificent green light dyed the entire sky like an inverted emerald!
The howling wind and snow of the Extreme North ceased in that moment, and in the extreme cold, even time itself seemed frozen!
Silently, Ice Empress's scorpion tail turned into a phantom, and the sharp tail needle suddenly pierced through Huo Yuhao's clothes, stabbing into his tailbone. The two figures were now connected.
Huo Yuhao's mouth opened wide, but no sound came out.
Only his wide-open eyes, the whites filled with dense bloodshot veins, and the bulging veins on his handsome face showed the pain he was enduring!
Strands of green light, at a special frequency, flowed from Ice Empress along the scorpion tail into Huo Yuhao's body. At the same time, emerald green ice mist rose from Ice Empress's body, seeping into Huo Yuhao's skin strand by strand.
Time seemed stretched. When Ice Empress's body no longer emitted ice mist, the green scorpion tail had become a part of Huo Yuhao's body.
The remaining part of Ice Empress's body completely transformed into a captivating blood-colored soul ring, with four golden green intertwined patterns on it, indicating that Ice Empress's soul ring age had reached four hundred thousand years!
There was no time for Huo Yuhao to rest. Cold sweat on his head turned into ice beads and fell.
Tian Meng reminded him nervously, "Next is the step of fusing the soul ring. A four hundred thousand year soul ring, even if it's a sacrifice, will bring immense pressure."
"Yuhao, try to hold on as long as you can within your limits. This will rapidly increase your soul power level!"
Huo Yuhao nodded firmly: "Bring it on! Let me see my limits!"]
