Before Electrolux could recover from his shock, Zhao Ze had already raised his hand and begun chanting an incantation.

In the next second, a black vortex, even more stable than the one Electrolux had just manifested, tore open in the empty space before him!

From within the vortex, the dense sound of clashing bones echoed out.

Not only did three skeleton soldiers wielding giant axes emerge, but a skeleton knight clad in bone armor and mounted on a skeletal warhorse also stepped slowly out from the vortex!

They knelt on one knee, bowing their heads toward Zhao Ze.

"See? I told you I could do it; it's just that simple."

Zhao Ze pointed at the skeleton soldiers before him and said.

Electrolux was stunned by everything unfolding before his eyes.

He had seen countless brilliant geniuses, but he had never seen a monster like this!

This was no longer just a matter of being gifted; this was simply unreasonable!

Electrolux stood dazed for a long time before he suddenly snapped back to reality. As if he had grasped some key point, he muttered to himself:

"I see... could it be that the people of this Douluo Continent are naturally highly compatible with necromancy? Are they all this proficient at using undead magic?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head abruptly, his gaze falling on Huo Yuhao standing to the side, his tone filled with a mix of urgency and curiosity:

"That boy named Yuhao, you come and try!"

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, raising a finger to point at himself:

"Ah? Me, me?"

"Senior Electrolux, I don't even understand what magic is yet; will I be able to do it?"

"Why wouldn't you be able to?"

Electrolux immediately stepped forward, urging him repeatedly:

"I can see that your master clearly wants you to learn this skill, otherwise he wouldn't have dragged me into this deal.

Just repeat the incantation I chanted earlier, word for word, and you'll know if you can do it or not!"

Just as Huo Yuhao was at a loss, Zhao Ze smiled and patted him on the shoulder, speaking in a relaxed tone:

"Yuhao, he's right. Your Spirit Eye martial soul is of the ultimate spiritual attribute, and your perception of soul fluctuations far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Just give it a try. It doesn't matter if you succeed or not; consider it practice."

With Zhao Ze's reassurance, Huo Yuhao instantly steadied his mind and nodded heavily.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes to focus his mind, and mobilized all of his spiritual power, reciting the incantation without a single error.

As his voice trailed off, a faint, chilling aura did indeed ripple around him.

But the moment that aura emerged, it flickered like a candle in the wind and dissipated into the air in an instant.

The Undead Demi-plane did not appear, there was not a shadow of an undead creature to be seen, and the ground remained clean—nothing had happened.

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, looked at the empty ground, and his face fell instantly.

He hung his head, looking bitterly at Zhao Ze and Electrolux, his tone filled with disappointment:

"Master, Senior Electrolux, I... I think I failed... there was no reaction at all."

Zhao Ze shrugged, comforting him in a relaxed tone:

"It's fine, what's the big deal about that?

There's plenty of time; you can learn it slowly in the future.

Your master is a special case; you shouldn't use me as a standard."

Electrolux, standing to the side, frowned. He stroked his chin and looked Huo Yuhao up and down, saying with great confusion:

"Eh? That's not right... This boy does have some talent, but he is nothing like you, being able to use it immediately after seeing it once."

He suddenly raised his head to look at Zhao Ze, his eyes filled with suspicion:

"Could it be that you had contact with necromancy before, or were even already proficient in this skill?

But if that were the case, why would you need to make this deal with me and insist that I demonstrate it?"

Hearing this, Zhao Ze shook his head with a smile, directly cutting off his wild speculation:

"Alright, stop guessing.

I really am using necromancy for the first time, it's just that I have a thorough grasp of the operational rules for spiritual power, soul power, and even all the energy in this world.

As long as I see it once, I can naturally figure out the method; it's nothing strange to succeed on the first try."

He had spent who knows how many years researching and comprehending soul power and spiritual power, and he had his own set of insights into how to mobilize energy.

After hearing this, Electrolux couldn't help but be incredibly astonished.

This person was even stronger than he had imagined!

Just then, Tang Ya's voice came from the edge of the woods nearby, carrying a hint of worry:

"Yuhao? Why haven't you come back yet? Did something happen?"

Huo Yuhao hurriedly responded:

"Sister Xiaoya! I'm fine, I'm coming right now!"

Zhao Ze also smiled at Electrolux and said:

"Let's go, back to the Sea of Consciousness, and continue demonstrating Necromancy for me."

Electrolux nodded, retracted the undead creatures into his demi-plane, and slipped back into the center of Huo Yuhao's brow with Zhao Ze.

Huo Yuhao suppressed the curiosity and anticipation for Necromancy in his heart, turned around, and trotted toward the campfire.

He secretly made up his mind that he must study diligently under his master and Senior Electrolux.

Not only would he push his cultivation as a Soul Master to the limit, but he would also master this miraculous and powerful Necromancy!

The night faded away completely, and the faint morning light pierced through the dense canopy of the Star Dou Great Forest, scattering like broken gold across the clearing in the woods.

Huo Yuhao finished his cultivation, let out a long breath, and stretched his body.

He subconsciously looked up at Bei Bei, who was leaning against a tree trunk, and found that the other had just opened his eyes.

There was a look of ease and comfort on his face; clearly, he had spent the night very peacefully and had not noticed anything that happened in the woods last night.

The stone that had been hanging in Huo Yuhao's heart all night finally dropped, and he breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

But as soon as he relaxed, he thought of what happened last night, and the young man's cheeks instantly flushed a faint red.

Suddenly, a familiar scent of grass and trees drifted over, and Tang Ya had approached him at some point.

The young girl leaned over, extended a fair index finger, pressed it gently against her lips in a gesture for silence, and whispered into his ear with a breathy voice:

"Yuhao, don't tell Bei Bei about what happened last night, okay?"

Her warm breath brushed against his earlobe, causing Huo Yuhao to stiffen. His face turned even redder, and he hurriedly nodded like a chick pecking at rice, his voice as thin as a mosquito's hum:

"I, I understand, Sister Xiaoya. I will absolutely not tell anyone!"

Seeing his shy appearance, Tang Ya couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile. She reached out and patted his shoulder lightly, whispering:

"Thank you, little Yuhao."

As soon as their little interaction ended, Bei Bei had already packed their gear and walked over, saying in a deep voice:

"Alright, we've rested for the night, it's time to set off and continue searching for a suitable soul ring for Xiaoya."

After the three of them discussed it, they returned to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Yet, within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness, it was a completely different scene.

Zhao Ze was sitting cross-legged on a soft couch, pitch-black necromantic energy surging at his fingertips.

By now, he had already mastered the majority of Necromancy.

Electrolux, watching from the side, couldn't help but click his tongue, shaking his head repeatedly in amazement:

"Truly a monster... you learn as soon as you are taught, and master it as soon as you try.

I have lived for hundreds of years and have never seen talent as terrifying as yours.

Before, when you said you would ascend to godhood, I thought you were joking, but now it seems that it really isn't impossible."
