Tang San Intervenes at a Dead End, Will Knocks on the Sacred Hall's Door!

In Shrek Academy, as Huo Yuhao followed Bei Bei to register, a new clip had already begun playing in the Heavenly Screen.

[The Observer's calm narration sounded: "The Guardian Mages encountered in the Extreme North showed Huo Yuhao another side of this world. By rapidly improving himself through the sacrifice of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, he also saw hope for saving his mother within three years to godhood."

"However, he didn't know... the hope he thought he had never existed from the very beginning..."]

The Observer's words caused countless viewers on the Douluo Continent to change their expressions.

After the three grand scenes in the Heavenly Screen and Huo Yuhao's perseverance, effort, and painful sacrifices, people had already developed goodwill towards this youth. More and more people were identifying with Huo Yuhao's perspective and emotions within the Heavenly Screen.

Countless people were anticipating his step-by-step success, hoping he would be rewarded after enduring tribulations and that mother and son would be reunited.

Just like the protagonists in those storybooks and novels, who would gain friendship, love, and family affection on a legendary adventure journey, ultimately reaching a perfect grand finale in their lives.

However, this calm statement from the Observer in the Heavenly Screen ruthlessly shattered people's expectations and fantasies.

But... why?

Could Huo Yuhao not achieve godhood in three years? Was it because his body couldn't withstand the soul power from repeatedly absorbing soul rings to the extreme, or was it for other reasons?

As the doubts in people's hearts arose, the scene in the Heavenly Screen explained everything.

[Accompanied by the Observer's voice, the images in the Heavenly Screen began to rapidly switch and change.

After leaving the Extreme North, Huo Yuhao, following Tian Meng's advice, headed to the Star Dou Great Forest, preparing to find a severely injured or dying high-level Spirit System soul beast and persuade it to sacrifice itself to join the Ascension Plan.

As a result, just as Huo Yuhao fortunately found a dying Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit System soul beast on the edge of the forest, he encountered Bei Bei and Tang Ya, covered in dirt and being chased by a pack of pack soul beasts.

Huo Yuhao immediately rushed to their rescue. After a fierce battle, he repelled the soul beast pack. When he went to find the dying Spirit System soul beast again, he discovered that it had already died from its severe injuries.

Tang Ya, feeling guilty, mentioned a treasure land recorded in the Tang Sect's secret records, where immortal grasses had once grown ten thousand years ago, and was willing to take Huo Yuhao there.

Subsequently, the three of them traveled to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well treasure land recorded in the Tang Sect's secret records. Using the method recorded by the Tang Sect, they passed through the layer of poisonous flowers surrounding the entire treasure land and stepped inside.

In the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Huo Yuhao once again risked his life. Through the trial of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast immortal grass, he successfully obtained the sacrifice of the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew Immortal Grass.

However, after the sacrifice, he discovered that although his Spiritual Power and Spirit Eyes Martial Soul had indeed greatly improved, his Soul Power had only increased by one level.

The immortal grasses said this was to solidify his foundation!

The Spiritual Eyes Two Rings were filled, and the level forty soul ring slot was reserved! Huo Yuhao clenched his fists, blood dripping, his impatience spreading like wildfire.

Fortunately, he obtained the complete version of the Mysterious Heaven Skill from the immortal grasses, which had a higher cultivation efficiency. Huo Yuhao began to cultivate diligently, utilizing the special environment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The scene shifted again. Huo Yuhao, having reached level forty, hoped to obtain the sacrifice of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, but was rejected with the reason that each person could only obtain one immortal grass.

Unable to obtain the sacrifice of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, and with Ice Bear Xiao Bai needing to guard the Extreme North as a top-tier power, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to head to the Star Dou Great Forest, hoping to find a suitable soul beast.

This time, his luck was still good. Although he didn't find an ice-type soul beast, he encountered a Golden Turtle that was on the verge of death after consuming Life Gold, possessing auspicious fortune and the Water System Xuanwu Bloodline.

However, an accident occurred again. Wang Dong and several Shrek Students, led by Xuan Zi into the Star Dou Great Forest for soul hunting, accidentally injured the Emperor Rui Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion, provoking Di Tian, the leader of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, into a battle with Xuan Zi.

Xuan Zi was defeated and retreated, taking the only remaining Wang Dong with him. Huo Yuhao and the Golden Turtle, however, were captured and brought back to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Ultimately, with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's plea and the appearance of Tian Meng Ice Empress to explain the situation, Huo Yuhao was spared his life. However, the Golden Turtle was personally executed by Di Tian for stealing Life Gold.

Finally, Huo Yuhao obtained a severely injured Twenty-Thousand-Year Ice Soul Beast. After absorbing its soul ring and proving the authenticity of the Wisdom Soul Ring, he was released.

But because the Ice Soul Beast had not yet developed spiritual intelligence and could not assist in absorption, he only advanced to level forty-four.

Yet, one year of the three years had already passed.

Huo Yuhao became increasingly anxious. While cultivating, he traveled all over the continent, hoping to find other opportunities.

Afterward, although he had numerous adventures, obtained treasures that strengthened his physique and soul power, and fragments of Life Gold, and improved his aptitude and martial soul quality with Elder Yi's help.

In one year, he traversed wind and snow, crossed deserts, stepped into valleys, and climbed mountains. He had also wandered aimlessly through cities and villages.

Sacred Hall? Opportunity? He hadn't even caught a glimpse of the shadow of legends!

When only one year remained until the three-year deadline, he reached level sixty.

At this time, Huo Yuhao was less than fourteen years old.

He became unkempt and disheveled, dedicating every moment to cultivation and searching, with no time to pay attention to his appearance.

During this process, he also became increasingly taciturn, with only the clear light in his eyes growing firmer.

Even though he knew he was drifting further and further from his goal, he remained unwavering.

He measured the earth with his feet, running at a speed that even a galloping horse would struggle to match, heading straight for the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Now my body is strong enough, and I have Life Gold for recovery. I want to try to reach level eighty in one go while accepting a sacrifice!"

Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes flickered with a faint light: "Brother Tian Meng, Ice Empress, Elder Yi, Qiu Shui, help me!"

"By abandoning the second and third soul rings that would be added later, and channeling more energy into increasing my level, I believe it's possible!"

However, disaster struck once again.

The Emperor Rui Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which inexplicably appeared at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, had a sea blue light flash on its forehead. Without Huo Yuhao's preparation, it voluntarily sacrificed itself to him.

Di Tian, who arrived late, was enraged. Elder Yi, who had recovered some strength, intervened and repelled him. Tian Meng activated his trump card and took Huo Yuhao away.

Even so, the impact encountered during the forced absorption of the soul ring caused Huo Yuhao's soul to be injured, and he fell into a coma.

When he woke again, his Soul Power had risen to level sixty-nine, but only three days remained until the three-year deadline.

Struck by this, Huo Yuhao, who had been as tenacious and steadfast as a rock, finally shed tears again, fragile as they were.

Staggering, he walked into a small shop under the night sky like a walking corpse. He took out the last Bronze Soul Coins he had, wanting to drown his sorrows.

The liquor mixed with Blood Tears rolled down his throat, and the Bronze Soul Coins clinked on the counter.

The dim lamplight flickered. The Boss, wearing strange Robes, sat on the other side of the counter. He pushed the amber-colored liquor towards Huo Yuhao's trembling fingers and spoke in a Gentle tone:

"Interested in telling me your story, youth?"

Huo Yuhao's dazed eyes shifted. The Man gave a Slight Smile:

"Ordinary people can't get to the Sacred Hall."
