Huo Yuhao: That's Right, I Am Spirit Ice

A faint smile appeared on Gu Yue's lips. She glanced at Di Tian beside her before turning her gaze back to Huo Yuhao: "That's right, Di Tian should indeed address me as Young Master."

The tense atmosphere from just now seemed to deflate as if something had gently punctured it with that one sentence.

Gu Yue herself felt that this misunderstanding wasn't so bad, at least it was much easier to handle than having her identity exposed directly.

However, her smile didn't last long. Her gaze turned serious again as she looked at Huo Yuhao and asked, "But you still haven't told me where you got that Reverse Scale from."

Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then reached out and grasped Gu Yue's hand. Her fingers were slender and slightly cool to the touch.

"Gu Yue," his voice lowered, "Can I trust you?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Yue spoke almost as soon as Huo Yuhao finished speaking, "Of course, you can always trust me, no matter what."

Huo Yuhao felt somewhat relieved after hearing these words.

He had originally planned to confess some things to Gu Yue after returning to the Spirit Pagoda, but some unexpected events occurred, and a whole Di Tian had passed.

He looked up at Di Tian, only to see that the other's golden dragon eyes were fixed on their clasped hands.

Huo Yuhao noticed a hint of ferocity in Di Tian's eyes, which made his back tense slightly.

"Cough."

Huo Yuhao coughed lightly and subtly withdrew his hand.

The fact that he possessed Di Tian's Reverse Scale had already been caught red-handed by the person in question, and no matter how much he tried to avoid it, Di Tian would not let the matter go easily.

Huo Yuhao thought quickly for a moment and then said, "That Reverse Scale was given to me by Senior Di Tian."

Di Tian's gaze hardened, his voice deepening. "We've only met twice. When have I ever given you my Reverse Scale?"

As he spoke, he extended his right hand, and a black scale appeared out of thin air in his palm.

A dull luster flowed across the scales, with rough edges and fine lines.

It has the same aura, the same patterns, and even the same angle of light refraction as the one Huo Yuhao just showed.

Huo Yuhao smiled, looked at Di Tian, and said calmly, "Senior Di Tian, please don't be impatient. This Reverse Scale was indeed not given to me by the current you."

He paused for a moment, then took a deep breath. "It was given to me by Senior Di Tian ten thousand years ago."

After these words were spoken, the room fell silent for a moment.

Gu Yue's brow twitched slightly, but she didn't reply; she simply looked at him quietly.

The emotions churning in Di Tian's golden dragon eyes were noticeably more complex than before.

Huo Yuhao did not say this on a whim; he had already weighed the matter in his mind.

First, he trusts Gu Yue; from the time he met Gu Yue until now, she has never betrayed his trust.

Secondly, the current Di Tian no longer possesses such a strong deterrent effect.

With the development of Battle Armor technology, the overall combat power of human Soul Master has changed dramatically, completely overwhelming Soul Beast.

After Di Tian was kicked out of the Spirit Pagoda, only the Core Circle of Star Dou Great Forest remains.

The former king of Soul Beast can now only hold onto a small corner of the land.

Third, and most importantly, after today's battle, his Soul Power has officially crossed the threshold of level eighty.

Logically speaking, the higher Soul Master's cultivation level, the slower their cultivation speed should be.

But Huo Yuhao had a vague feeling that he was quite the opposite.

As time went on, his cultivation speed not only did not slow down, but it also seemed to be accelerating.

He couldn't explain why he felt that way, but his body wouldn't lie.

He estimated that in another year or so, he would be able to reach the threshold of becoming Titled Douluo.

By then, with his combat prowess, even if the secret of his time travel were discovered, he should have enough ability to protect himself.

Based on these three considerations, he ultimately chose to speak out about it.

After a moment of silence, Di Tian asked in a deep voice, "Me from ten thousand years ago...?!"

Looking into Di Tian's golden dragon eyes, which were filled with disbelief, Huo Yuhao repeated with certainty, "That's right, it's Senior Di Tian from ten thousand years ago."

Di Tian stared at him, his brows furrowing even more. "How is this possible? You're not Soul Beast. Don't even mention ten thousand years ago, you weren't even born a hundred years ago!"

Nothing is impossible.

Huo Yuhao responded quickly, leaning forward slightly and meeting Di Tian's gaze directly, asking, "Senior Di Tian, don't you find my appearance familiar?"

Upon hearing this, Di Tian was stunned.

His heart sank suddenly, then jumped again, and an idea instantly popped into his head.

"What do you mean?"

Di Tian's voice was even lower than before, carrying a tension he himself was unaware of.

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and said, "I'm actually not from this era."

Di Tian's eyelid twitched.

"I come from ten thousand years ago, and I am the Spirit Ice Douluo that Senior Di Tian mentioned before."

The moment the words left his mouth, Di Tian abruptly stood up from his seat.

The violent aura that had just subsided burst forth from his body once more without reservation.

This time, it was even more intense than before.

The air in the hall was compressed to almost a solid state, and the legs of the nearest tables and chairs were trembling slightly.

At this moment, Di Tian no longer cared about concealing his aura; this news was far too shocking for him.

His breathing became noticeably more rapid, and his golden dragon eyes widened, staring intently at Huo Yuhao's face, as if he were dissecting every detail of that face with his gaze.

His voice was a little hoarse. "You... you are really Spirit Ice?"

Deep down, he already believed it: appearance can deceive, and temperament can be imitated, but some things cannot be faked.

However, the Huo Yuhao in front of him was even stronger than the Spirit Ice Douluo in his memory.

Spirit Ice Douluo was already the most talented human that Di Tian had ever seen, but he was still three points inferior to this young man.

Gu Yue, who was sitting next to Huo Yuhao, also froze at this moment.

Her back was ramrod straight, and her fingers, which had been resting on her knees, unconsciously tucked in slightly.

Those purple eyes churned with emotions far more complex than those of Di Tian.

Having once possessed God Level power, she knew all too well the immense power of traversing ten thousand years of time!

Huo Yuhao took in the changes in their expressions and said, "It is indeed hard to believe, but it is the truth."

"I don't know why I have the ability to travel through time. The first time I traveled here was when I was three years old."

"So, the current me is probably somewhat different from the Spirit Ice Douluo in Senior Di Tian's memories."
