Time rushed by in a blur.

Shrek Academy.

"Yuhao," the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said within Huo Yuhao's spiritual world, calling out to him.

"Brother Sky Dream." Huo Yuhao carefully found a deserted spot, speaking with Sky Dream in his spiritual world.

After all, talking to oneself aloud would look very strange, and it might eventually impact his reputation and how others viewed him.

Huo Yuhao did not want to be treated as mentally ill. At this point in time, Huo Yuhao still somewhat resembled a normal person and had not yet been domesticated into a dog by the God King Tang.

Because of this, he often reflected upon himself.

"It is time now, too; we should head to the Far North. I can help you there to acquire a second martial soul, and that way, you will be a genius possessing twin martial souls.

Just think about how powerful twin martial souls are. For example, that Xiao Xiao in your class also has twin martial souls, doesn't she? She is quite outstanding, isn't she? The potential of twin martial souls is formidable indeed. Moreover, there is Tang San, who became a god 10,000 years ago; he also had twin martial souls.

Twin martial souls can at least grant you the aptitude to reach the peak powerhouses. I won't say it's a 100% guarantee of becoming a god, but a rank-99 ultimate powerhouse is definitely possible.

When that time comes, you will also be a step closer to becoming a god."

With Sky Dream putting it this way, Huo Yuhao understood, since he had indeed heard the legends of Tang San—the Sea God and Asura as one with twin martial souls.

Furthermore, his ancestor was War God Dai Mubai. Although no one knew who was the strongest among these divine beings, one thing was certain: Tang San, who held both the Asura and Sea God positions, was the most powerful.

He thought of how the other person also had twin martial souls.

"Brother Sky Dream, you say that if I also have twin martial souls, will I eventually be able to become two gods in one like the legendary Tang San?"

Huo Yuhao asked. This was also what he was curious about. If Huo Yuhao could eventually achieve the state of two divine positions in one, just like the legendary Tang San, the Sea God Tang San who was also the founding patriarch of the Tang Sect, then twin martial souls would simply be too overpowered. When that time came, he would also be two gods in one.

"How would I know that? As for the story of Sea God Tang San, I was still fast asleep back then. I didn't participate in that legend of the human world 10,000 years ago, and besides, I'm a soul beast. I'm not very clear on many human matters either; I've only ever heard of them.

How would I know the details of Tang San becoming a god? If anyone knew, it would be the higher-ups of Shrek or the higher-ups of the Tang Sect. However, I think the Tang Sect probably doesn't know clearly anymore because too much time has passed, and some materials should have been lost.

After all, the Tang Sect now only has you three 'big and small cats left': the big cat is your Big Brother Beibei, and the two small cats are you and Tang Ya.

If the Tang Sect possessed detailed information on Tang San becoming a god, during the era of the Sun Moon Empire's invasion, if they wanted to recreate the brilliance of the Tang Sect, they should have produced another Tang San. Yet they didn't, so it's possible the information was lost and the honest details are gone, or else they knew, but even knowing, they couldn't pull it off."

Hearing all this from Sky Dream, Huo Yuhao felt that what Sky Dream said was logical and made a lot of sense. After all, the Tang Sect really was down to just two or three kittens now. If the Tang Sect truly had detailed information on Tang San's ascension, they should have started making preparations beforehand to recreate the glory of the Tang Sect and churn out another Tang San. Yet they hadn't, which meant the records had most likely been lost.

"Then even Big Brother Beibei or Teacher Xiaoya might not know?"

"I don't know about that. You can have a chance to ask them later.

In any case, let's hurry to the Far North now. Make some preparations, bring enough soul tools, and then we'll head to the Far North to help you acquire your second martial soul, and incidentally help you get a top-tier soul ring."

Sky Dream wasn't joking with this statement, either. After all, the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North basically all had lifespans exceeding 100,000 years. Although Ice Empress's age was very high, it also exceeded 300,000 years.

When the time came to use her for Huo Yuhao's second martial soul and soul ring, he would definitely acquire formidable soul skills, and that would make up for Huo Yuhao's insufficient strength.

"Big Brother Sky Dream, I believe you, but the question is, can you tell me what kind of martial soul you want me to get? That way, let me understand it as well and make some preparations..."

Huo Yuhao trusted Sky Dream deeply; he was simply very curious about which exact martial soul Sky Dream was going to get him. That was what he wanted to know.

"You'll arrive at the Far North first, and I'll tell you then."

Sky Dream said this because he actually hoped that even if Huo Yuhao wanted to refuse when the time came, he wouldn't have any way to refuse. He would drag Huo Yuhao to the Far North first and talk later.

"I succeeded! A Tier 3 Pill!" Zhong Kui said excitedly at this moment. He had successfully refined a Tier 3 Pill.

Spirit Awakening Pill: Makes one's perception of external heaven and earth energy much keener during cultivation, accelerating the rate of energy absorption.

"This kind of pill looks pretty good as well. Placed in my world, it should count as a top-grade pill. Furthermore, I studied it.

This pill can make the user's perception of external heaven and earth energy much keener and also accelerate energy absorption. It can already be considered a divine pill, at least in this world."

"That is indeed the case. Everything you said is completely correct. In this world, this kind of pill is already quite formidable."

When Zhong Kui refined this pill, he had also made thorough preparations, honing his alchemy techniques for a very long time before making the resolute decision to begin refining. He had additionally chosen a fine location to prevent any disturbance, and even specifically requested a leave of absence.

When Kong Deming and the others learned that he was doing this to break through and become a Tier 3 Alchemist, and to make his alchemy techniques even stronger, they immediately and unconditionally approved his leave request.

"Anyway, the closed-door cultivation can be considered over. I am now able to refine Tier 3 Pills."

Just as Zhong Kui intended to give himself a proper vacation and rest, the system suddenly sent another message.

[Ding. Host, according to system detection, Huo Yuhao has already set out to find Ice Empress and acquire his second martial soul. If you intercept this array and prevent Huo Yuhao from obtaining this fortuitous encounter, the host will obtain more points. This time, the points will be around 80,000.]

Upon hearing the system say this, the host could also understand. After all, Electrolux helped Huo Yuhao become a god; 100,000 points was already on the low side.

Electrolux was basically the greatest contributor on Huo Yuhao's path to godhood, yet this ungrateful wretch Huo Yuhao forgot to resurrect Electrolux. He was no different from those internet keyboard warriors, and was perhaps even worse than them.
