He had started with a Million Year Soul Beast practically begging to become his First Soul Ring—and not just any Million-Year Soul Ring, but one with the perfect Spirit Attribute for him. Who could possibly compare?
He was practically the Child of Destiny. Even the bards and novelists across the continent who made up stories would never dare invent something this absurd.
The readers would curse them for writing an idiotic plot that looked like the author had not used his brain and had come up with it using his feet.
However, just when everyone thought that was the end of it, a new change suddenly appeared in the Heavenly Screen.
[While the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was desperately merging everything it possessed into Huo Yuhao's body, a thunderous boom suddenly rang out. The clear sky from moments ago abruptly darkened, and a deep darkness emerged in midair, completely blocking out even the radiance of the sun.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm trembled violently after being startled by the thunder exploding in the clear sky. Its two tiny eyes rolled upward, revealing shock and bewilderment.
Then it saw a Gray Airflow descend from the heavens, landing at the back of Huo Yuhao's head in the blink of an eye.
"What gives you the right to snatch my person from me?!" Enraged, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's immense Spiritual Power instantly transformed into a roaring tide, attempting to wipe out the Gray Airflow.
The next moment, the Gray Airflow transformed into a blurry figure that emerged behind Huo Yuhao.
An aged voice rang out with indescribable majesty. "With the sun and moon in my hands, I pluck the stars from the heavens. No one in this world is like me. I never expected that even a thread of my Remnant Soul could survive."
After reciting his entrance line to himself, the blurry figure treated the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's vast Spiritual Power attack as nothing. It transformed back into airflow and burrowed into Huo Yuhao's mind.
"Di Tian's grandmother! You're playing dirty and trying to compete with me, are you?"
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm muttered furiously and helplessly, "It took me so long to find a human with a Spirit Attribute, and now some Old Ghost is here to compete with me for him. Why is my life so miserable..."
"But no matter what, I'm finally free! You Bastards who treated me as emergency rations won't get the chance now!"
Accompanied by one final wretched, smug laugh, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's body completely vanished and merged into Huo Yuhao. Its remaining Silkworm Cocoon shrank on its own, transforming into a streak of white light that burrowed into Huo Yuhao's clothes.
Even the huge hole in the ground that the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had bored out silently disappeared.
As the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Spiritual Power dispersed, the once-silent forest became lively again.
Beneath Huo Yuhao, a ring of faint, silvery-white light silently emerged before gradually fading away.
Before long, Tang Ya and Bei Bei hurried over from the distance and discovered the slain Wind Baboon and the unconscious Huo Yuhao.
After inspecting the scene, Bei Bei frowned. "This Wind Baboon was just killed, but its Soul Ring has already disappeared. Yuhao must have absorbed it, but something may have gone wrong during the process, causing him to faint."
"But judging by its size, this Wind Baboon should only have been at the ten-year level, right? Normally, absorbing a Soul Ring of this age should be easy." Tang Ya looked somewhat anxious.]
In the Heavenly Screen, Bei Bei and Tang Ya were worrying over Huo Yuhao's safety, while in reality, countless discussions about Huo Yuhao's condition were taking place as well.
Most of them were wondering what Huo Yuhao's Soul Skill would be after obtaining a Million-Year Soul Ring, and how powerful it would be.
Many others were discussing who that blurry figure that had suddenly appeared at the end was. Could he be some powerful Evil Soul Master?
After all, when that figure appeared, there had been darkness and a Remnant Soul. His Aura and the scene surrounding him clearly made him look nothing like a Protagonist.
The thought of such an existence burrowing into one's mind was terrifying enough.
Of course, aside from those two groups, some people looked at Huo Yuhao's Soul Ring after the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Sacrifice and could not help joking:
"We know that the Soul Ring of a Ten-Year Soul Beast is white, and the Soul Ring of a Million Year Soul Beast is also white. Therefore, a Ten-Year Soul Ring is equal to a Million-Year Soul Ring!"
"My son Wang Teng's First Soul Ring is white, and Huo Yuhao's First Soul Ring is also white. Therefore, my son is equal to Huo Yuhao! And since Huo Yuhao can Become God, my son Wang Teng also has the potential to Become God!"
Naturally, someone had to stand up and argue: "Can your son's white Soul Ring really compare with Huo Yuhao's? Gold is yellow, and feces are yellow too. Obviously, Huo Yuhao is gold."
"You damn well dare to say my son is feces? If I don't beat the feces out of you today, then I'll consider you someone who passed them cleanly!"
"I never said your son was feces. I only said Huo Yuhao was gold. You're the one who took it personally!"
While people across the continent were arguing noisily, the scene in the Heavenly Screen had already shown Tang Ya inviting Huo Yuhao to join the Tang Sect, followed by the three of them forming a team to hunt for a suitable Soul Beast for Tang Ya.
In the end, Tang Ya and Bei Bei successfully convinced Huo Yuhao to go with them to register at Shrek Academy first, on the grounds that the deadline for new student registration was approaching. Afterward, he could request leave to visit his mother.
Seeing this scene, the Douluo Three Kingdoms, the Sun Moon Empire, and even the various major powers cursed inwardly, while the people from Shrek Academy and the Spiritual Shrek People beamed with delight.
Xuan Zi was currently piloting his Rank 8 Flying Soul Tool toward Star Luo City in the Star Luo Empire. He laughed as he flew.
"Hahaha, I never paid much attention to that little girl from the Tang Sect, but Bei Bei does seem to be in his third year. The scene in the Heavenly Screen corresponds perfectly with the present. It seems this little fellow, who is destined to Become God, is already in the bag for my Shrek..."
After learning that Huo Yuhao was not in the White Tiger Duke Mansion, Xuan Zi had originally planned to turn around and return to Shrek.
But after thinking about it, he had already come this far. If he turned back now without accomplishing anything, would he not have traveled all this way for nothing?
He might as well make a trip to the White Tiger Duke Mansion, capture the White Tiger Duchess, and treat her as an enrollment gift for this little fellow.
As for whether this would affect the relationship between the Duke Mansion and Shrek Academy?
The families connected to Shrek were the White Tiger Dai Family and the Spirit Cat Zhu Family. The White Tiger Duchess was surnamed neither Dai nor Zhu.
Besides, ten thousand years had already passed. So what if she belonged to either family? The Tang Sect had been founded by Sea God Tang San, yet—
The Tang Sect had declined into that miserable state and had even been wiped out. Its enemies were still living comfortably and brazenly right now. Had anyone gone to help them?
When all was said and done, it was still a matter of value and interests.
As long as he could confirm that Huo Yuhao could continue Shrek Academy's glory for another ten thousand years, let alone offending a mere White Tiger Duke Mansion—
Even if Tang San tried to harm Huo Yuhao, Xuan Zi would still dare risk his life to give the Sea God two heavy slaps.
