Electrolux's Gift
As night fell, twilight, like a dark velvet cloth, enveloped the entire world.
Darkness surged in from all directions, swallowing up the daytime clamor and the afterglow of dusk.
Tonight should be a full moon night, but under the cover of layers of Wu Yun, not a single star or moonlight can be seen.
The sky was dark and heavy, like an overturned iron pot, oppressive and somber.
The entire Shrek Academy fell into silence; at this time, most people were already fast asleep.
Only the streetlights were still on, casting dim, yellowish halos in the darkness.
Huo Yuhao lay on his bed in the dormitory. He closed his eyes, but he was not asleep. Instead, he immersed his mind in his own Spirit Sea.
Huo Yuhao has mastered the Spirit Soul Technology of the Spirit Pagoda quite well.
But it depends on who you compare him to. Compared to his teacher, Electrolux, Huo Yuhao felt he was still far inferior.
Electrolux, the Necromancer Holy Magic God, possessed wisdom, knowledge, and abilities far surpassing those of ordinary people.
Even with his extraordinary luck, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but admire his teacher's research abilities.
He had previously told Wang Dong that he planned to go to Star Luo City after leaving Shrek Academy. This was not a decision made casually, but rather after careful consideration.
He has already established contact with the Star Luo Imperial Family, although it is only a collaboration on Soul Tool. He believes that the Star Luo Imperial Family will lend a helping hand if he needs it.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao planned to build the first Spirit Pagoda in Star Luo City.
As for the specific details, we'll naturally need to discuss them thoroughly with our teacher, Electrolux.
Huo Yuhao had to admit that his previous thinking had been far too simplistic.
He believed that he possessed complete Spirit Soul Technology and that establishing Spirit Pagoda would not be difficult.
But now, thanks to Electrolux's analysis, he realized that things were far more complicated than he had imagined.
Building a force from scratch is no easy task, especially since Huo Yuhao has little experience.
Based on Electrolux's analysis, Huo Yuhao realized that what he lacked most right now was manpower!
That's right, it's people!
Without talent, without a solid team, and without trustworthy partners, it's all just empty talk.
After leaving the academy, he was all alone.
Even with the support of the Star Luo Imperial Family, can we trust the people they provide? One should always be wary of others!
What is the most precious thing about the Spirit Pagoda?
It's knowledge!
Knowledge of Spirit Soul and Soul Tool are priceless treasures.
Therefore, if Huo Yuhao wants to truly master the Spirit Pagoda, he needs to develop his own true allies.
Besides people, Huo Yuhao also needs sufficient strength.
Without a powerful figure in charge, the Spirit Pagoda absolutely cannot continue to develop.
Those forces that covet the Spirit Pagoda, and those enemies who are envious of the Spirit Soul Technology, will all come looking for trouble.
This cannot be done by relying on the Star Luo Imperial Family, otherwise the Spirit Pagoda might become a vassal of the Royal Family.
He could not entrust the future of the Spirit Pagoda to someone else.
Electrolux looked at Huo Yuhao, whose face was full of bitterness, and a hint of a smile flashed in his deep eyes.
"Don't look so glum, there are solutions to these problems."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly.
He was thinking to himself whether he should recruit a group of people from the Shrek Academy to form his core team before leaving the academy.
Those classmates he knew, those friends he trusted, they were the most suitable to become the cornerstones for the birth of the Spirit Pagoda.
At this moment, Electrolux said again, "Yuhao, you've mastered Magic quite well these past few days. Your master has prepared a gift for you."
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
A curious glint shone in her Spirit Eyes as she asked, "Teacher, what gift is it?"
Electrolux smiled mysteriously, "It's not convenient now. I'll tell you tomorrow when you find a safe place."
Huo Yuhao wanted to ask more, but Electrolux's figure had already disappeared from his sight.
He could only sigh helplessly and suppress his curiosity for the time being.
Huo Yuhao's mind left the Spirit Sea, and his consciousness returned to his body.
He closed his eyes, still wondering what the teacher had mentioned about the gift.
As he pondered these thoughts, he gradually drifted off to sleep.
On the opposite bed, feeling Huo Yuhao's breathing gradually calm down, Wang Dong opened his eyes.
There was no sign of sleepiness in his large, pinkish-blue eyes. The events of the day had stirred countless thoughts within him, making it impossible for him to fall asleep.
The following afternoon, Huo Yuhao left Shrek Academy and returned to his home in Shrek City.
When it comes to the safest place, home is probably the safest.
As was customary, an isolation Magic Circle was set up. The golden array patterns lit up in the room, separating the inside from the outside into two worlds.
Huo Yuhao asked impatiently, "Teacher, can you tell me what the gift is now?"
Huo Yuhao had a vague idea that his teacher would never prepare a gift for him for no reason.
Therefore, this gift might be of great help to him in building the Spirit Pagoda later.
"Don't rush."
Electrolux smiled, a smile full of kindness.
He asked, "Do you remember where the teacher came from?"
Huo Yuhao nodded. "Teacher comes from another world, from a place called the Shengmo Continent."
A look of reminiscence crept onto Electrolux's face as well. "Yes, that's where our teacher's hometown is."
"Under the rule of the Divine Realm, there are countless worlds, or rather, countless planes."
"Each plane is also a planet; Douluo Continent and Shengmo Continent are two different planes."
"And the gift I've prepared for you is a small world I once created, which can also be called Half-Plane."
After hearing Electrolux's description, Huo Yuhao's mouth dropped open.
That delicate face was filled with disbelief.
Even though I was mentally prepared, I was still so shocked by this "gift" that I couldn't speak. After all, it was a small world!
What incredible power it is to create a small world!
At least Huo Yuhao couldn't have imagined this before; it's something that even Limit Douluo on the Douluo Continent couldn't accomplish.
To create a world out of thin air—that is a power that only God possess!
At this moment, Huo Yuhao gained a deeper understanding of his teacher's title, "Holy Necromancer."
The word "god" in this title is truly well-deserved.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's shocked expression, Electrolux smiled and said, "Alright, now I'll teach you how to master this Half-Plane."
"I exist solely within your Spirit Sea, therefore you can consider me your third martial soul."
"Next, I will guide you to establish contact with this Half-Plane."
Then, under Electrolux's guidance, a gray Soul Ring slowly rose beneath Huo Yuhao's feet.
It was a deathly, cold, lifeless gray.
Like the dark clouds of winter, like the shadow of death.
His once bright eyes had now turned the same gray, giving him an eerie appearance.
Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that in this state, the energy required to cast Magic was reduced, while the power of the Magic was more than doubled.
Huo Yuhao raised his hand, his fingers white and slender, tracing a light line through the air.
A Hexagram Array gradually appeared beneath his feet.
The entire array pattern was gray, exuding a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.
Then, a strong gray halo rose up above the entire Hexagram Array.
The halo was intense and eerie, enveloping Huo Yuhao completely, like a gray cloud.
After that flash of light, Huo Yuhao's figure had already disappeared from the room.
