At Mu En's words, Huo Yuhao quickly weighed his options.
This... actually might not be a bad idea.
Thanks to the Ghost Killing Art and practicing with Wang Dong, his Soul Power was rising rapidly.
At his original pace, he would have accumulated nearly Level 28 Soul Power in a year, then gone to the Extreme North to find the Ice Empress, gaining his Second Martial Soul and his Spirit Eye's Second Soul Ring at the same time.
