"Don't underestimate me!" Four Soul Rings rose beneath Huo Yuhao's feet!
All black Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings!!!
"!!!" Mu En was so shocked that he sprang straight up from his lounge chair.
What kind of joke was this???!
Hadn't this kid only been at level twenty before he left?!!
It had only been a week!
And he was already level forty?!!!
Good thing Huo Yuhao hadn't attacked right away.
After all, Mu En had just suppressed his level to twenty-one!
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
"Didn't we agree you'd let me have three moves?"
Huo Yuhao said, visibly displeased.
"Of course. Go ahead. I was just a little surprised, that's all." Mu En smiled.
Surprised, my foot!
He'd nearly been scared stiff!
He truly hadn't expected it!
Huo Yuhao had gained twenty levels in a single week!
And he had three black Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings!
What was even more outrageous was that even his original white Ten-Year Soul Ring had turned black and become a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!
That was something Mu En couldn't understand!
It felt like everything he'd learned in theory had gone straight to the dogs!
He'd only ever seen Soul Rings increase their age in materials about gods!
Complete a God Trial, and your Soul Rings increased in age!
But Huo Yuhao didn't look like someone who'd inherited a godhood at all!
Mu En hadn't been idle these past few days!
He'd dug up every last detail about Huo Yuhao!
An orphan!
No family, no relatives!
And that was it!
No matter how he looked at it, from every angle, he saw only four words.
Alone and helpless!
No background whatsoever, no family!
Even his roommate had gotten into a fight with him!
You think the Tang Sect counted as a background?
The Tang Sect was nothing! He was Beibei's great-grandfather!
What could a little girl like Tang Ya, who was only a Soul Ancestor, do to help?
She wasn't even as strong as Huo Yuhao himself!
And now he was level forty!
"Emperor Snow Divine Blade!" Huo Yuhao stamped his foot hard and lunged forward!
A long, pale-blue sword made of ice crystals appeared in Huo Yuhao's hand.
He unleashed the Killing Domain!
Huo Yuhao's attack power increased by 10%!
Mu En's attack power decreased by 30%!
He unleashed Snow Dance Shining Sun!
He unleashed Ice Seal Ten Thousand Miles!
Within the two domains, the surrounding area instantly became the Far North!
He unleashed Snow Filling Sky Flower Dance!
The Snow Empress's phantom danced!!!
Ice Empress Descends!!!
The power of Ice-type Soul Skills doubled!!!
Soul Power consumption was halved!!!
The penetrating power of Ultimate Ice doubled!!!
He went all out from the start!
"Void Breaker! Ice Slash!!!!!!"
A tremendously powerful armor-piercing sword qi burst forth!
This attack had come infinitely close to dealing true damage!
Its power had increased at least tenfold!!!
"!!!" Mu En's eyes widened!
He'd let things go too far!!!
He'd never imagined that Huo Yuhao, a mere level-forty Soul Ancestor, could unleash an attack stronger than a Soul Douluo's!
A phantom of the Light Sacred Dragon appeared behind him!
He knew that if he kept suppressing himself to level forty, he wouldn't be able to withstand this attack!
Huo Yuhao saw it, of course, but he didn't use his Holy Dragon Soul Core to suppress Mu En.
There was no need!
It wasn't as if they had some grudge to settle!
Besides, even if Mu En suppressed his Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul, he still had his Self-Created Soul Skill!
Mu En planted his right foot forward!
A powerful surge of Soul Power spread out!
Dragon Emperor Evil-Breaking Crack!!!
In an instant, the Void-Piercing Ice Slash Huo Yuhao had unleashed was dispelled!
It dissolved into Soul Power and vanished into the world!
Even the domains Huo Yuhao had used to change the environment were dispelled in that moment!
Seeing that things were going south, Huo Yuhao quickly withdrew the rest of his Soul Skills.
His Soul Power recovered quickly enough, but having his Soul Skills dispelled would make him suffer backlash!
And backlash was no joke!
"Whew. So this is the strength of the strongest person at Shrek Academy?" Huo Yuhao marveled inwardly.
Terrifyingly strong!
With a single move, he'd dispelled several of his Soul Skills!
Of course, if Mu En had kept his level suppressed to forty, his Dragon Emperor Evil-Breaking Crack couldn't have dispelled Huo Yuhao's Void-Piercing Ice Slash.
This time, he'd actually been outclassed by the level difference.
Still, it wasn't a loss. Huo Yuhao had already activated Mental Detection.
He'd successfully copied the move!
Hahahahahaha!!!!
Huo Yuhao had copied the Self-Created Soul Skill Mu En had spent his whole life developing in less than a minute!
He'd learned another move! Dragon Emperor Evil-Breaking Crack!
"Old man, you don't play fair! We agreed to fight at the same level, but your aura just now was way beyond a Soul Ancestor's!" Huo Yuhao complained furiously.
"Ahem. I couldn't block it without using my full strength!" Mu En explained.
Huo Yuhao: "?"
Full strength?
Yeah, right!
You used Soul Douluo-level strength at most!
"Yuhao, I have to say, you've gotten a lot stronger since you went away."
"Stop. No flattery."
"Old man, that means you lost, right?" Huo Yuhao asked.
"Fine, fine. I lost." Mu En nodded and lay back down in his chair.
Huo Yuhao let out a sigh of relief. "Good. It wasn't for nothing that I used one hundred and twenty percent of my strength."
Mu En: "?"
You little brat, were you really trying to kill your master?!
I just wanted to give you some pointers, and you used one hundred and twenty percent of your strength!!!
"All right, old man. Since you lost, cough up some Gold Soul Coins for me to spend."
Huo Yuhao held out his hand, signaling for Mu En to give him some.
"Fine, fine. Here, here." Mu En pulled more than a dozen Gold Soul Coins from his pocket and placed them in Huo Yuhao's hand.
"Thank you, teacher!"
[ Ding! Congratulations, host, you have completed Option Four. Your rewards (10,000,000 Gold Soul Coins) have been issued.]
This was a huge win!
Not only had he learned Dragon Emperor Evil-Breaking Crack, he'd also collected the reward from an earlier option!
A full ten million Gold Soul Coins!!!
"Tell me, what did you gain from your trip?" Mu En asked.
"Are you sure you want to hear?"
Huo Yuhao asked mysteriously.
"Why wouldn't I? I'm your teacher." Mu En nodded.
He really wanted to know what Huo Yuhao had gained.
How had he gotten so strong?!
After all, seven days ago, Huo Yuhao had struggled just to fight a little girl at level twenty!
And seven days later, he could trounce her as easily as breathing!
He really could trounce her as easily as breathing!
Even Mu En himself had almost been trounced.
He didn't think the cross-dressing Wang Dong could hold up against him!
"All right. Don't faint from shock." Huo Yuhao took off his clothes and switched to his Second Martial Soul!
The Ice Jade Empress Scorpion!
Just then, the temperature around Huo Yuhao plummeted!
The intense chill was enough to make even Mu En feel cold!
A translucent sheen appeared over Huo Yuhao's hands!
Mu En had only just lain back down, but he couldn't stay lying down for a second longer!
It wasn't just because a black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring had risen beneath Huo Yuhao's feet!
It was because a tattoo had appeared on Huo Yuhao's back!
A lifelike Ice Jade Empress Scorpion tattoo gleamed across his body!
It looked so vivid, it seemed almost alive!
"Ice Jade Scorpion?!!"
Mu En stared at the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion tattoo on Huo Yuhao's back in disbelief!
Huo Yuhao put his clothes back on and was about to say something when a voice rang out.
"Huo Yuhao!"
Wang Dong appeared from who-knew-where, her face full of delight.
But a moment later, she sighed. "Huo Yuhao, you didn't show up on the first day of school, so you got expelled."
Mu En, who'd been smiling, suddenly flew into a rage!
"Who?!!!!!!!"
