Mirror Shadow Beast Left Palm Bone

A crystal-clear blue left palm bone remained in the Mirror Shadow Beast's corpse.

After taking it out, Huo Yuhao immediately began fusing with it.

Although this left palm bone was only two thousand years old, as an External Soul Bone outside the six major Soul Bone types, it could not only improve along with its Soul Master's cultivation, but also increase its age by absorbing a Soul Bone of the same type.

Having already absorbed the Ice Empress's Soul Bone, Huo Yuhao absorbed the Mirror Shadow Beast Left Palm Bone with ease.

It gave Huo Yuhao the ability to copy one of another person's Soul Skills.

The Soul Skill granted by the Mirror Shadow Beast Soul Ring he had absorbed was also the ability to copy someone else's Soul Skill.

Now that he had two copying skills, Huo Yuhao was in a very good mood.

This meant Huo Yuhao could store two Soul Skills, and he no longer needed to find another Soul Master to replenish one of them. He could simply use the Soul Bone to copy a released Soul Skill again, creating an endless loop.

If Huo Yuhao absorbed a Silver Hero Beast Soul Ring for his fourth ring, he would be able to freely change the Soul Skills in his third and fourth rings.

In Huo Yuhao's eyes, the fixed nature of Soul Masters' Soul Skills had always been a considerable drawback. It meant that before a Soul Master who knew your capabilities, you would be at a tremendous disadvantage.

After absorbing the Soul Bone, Huo Yuhao had accomplished everything he had set out to do. He immediately set off to leave the Far North.

From the day he had asked for leave and left Shrek Academy until now, a month and a half had passed. The final deadline he had agreed on with Fan Yu was fast approaching.

Huo Yuhao's return journey was much faster. With his Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, he could now withstand the cold of the Far North.

With five days left before the two-month deadline, Huo Yuhao finally returned to Shrek Academy.

After entering Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao headed toward the first-year dormitory building.

Since it was morning and classes were in session, there were no students around the dormitory building. Only an old man lay on a reclining chair.

"Grandpa, I'm back from my leave. Are you out here sunbathing?" Huo Yuhao greeted Mu En.

"Mm. Hurry back to your dorm. No one's lived in your room for quite a while," Mu En replied mildly.

"Hm?" Huo Yuhao found that strange. He quickly took out his dorm key and opened the door to take a look. Sure enough, there was another layer of dust inside.

"Has Wang Dong really not come back to stay all this time?" Huo Yuhao found it a little odd, but didn't think too much of it. He took out a rag and a broom and cleaned the dormitory again.

At the dormitory entrance, Mu En let out a soft exclamation.

"What powerful spiritual power. But he isn't a Soul Beast in human form, so let him be."

After murmuring to himself, Mu En's slightly raised body sank back into the reclining chair.

After cleaning the dormitory, Huo Yuhao rested for a little while, then prepared to go find Fan Yu and report back from his leave.

Before leaving, he had spoken with Big Sister Tang Ya. If Teacher Fan Yu asked, she was to say that Senior Brother Bei Bei had arranged for a Soul Master to take him to hunt for his second Soul Ring.

Huo Yuhao knocked on Fan Yu's office door, then opened it and walked in.

"Yuhao, did you get your second Soul Ring? If you couldn't find a suitable Soul Beast, I'll have your senior brother go with you."

When Fan Yu saw Huo Yuhao, he briefly turned his gaze away from the Soul Tool in front of him.

"Teacher Fan Yu, I made quite a bit of progress this time. You should prepare yourself," Huo Yuhao said. He needed to brace Fan Yu for what was coming.

"You little rascal, now you're speaking in riddles. Come on, let your teacher see how much progress you made."

Fan Yu replied rather dismissively. He didn't think Huo Yuhao could have made any progress enough to astonish him.

That was, until he saw three Soul Rings—yellow, purple, and black—rise and float around Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, you're level thirty? With this Soul Ring ratio, how did you manage to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as your third ring?"

Fan Yu asked in shock. He had to admit Huo Yuhao was right—he really did need to prepare himself.

"The original goal of this trip was to find a kind of Soul Beast called an Ice Silkworm in the Far North. Everything went fairly smoothly before I obtained the Ice Silkworm Soul Ring."

"But after I got it, I ran into a ten-thousand-year Mirror Shadow Beast. When my life was in danger, my Spirit Eye Martial Soul underwent a Second Awakening."

"Maybe because of the boost from the Second Awakening, my Soul Power increased tremendously, rising straight to level twenty-eight. My spiritual power also grew several times stronger."

"That Soul Beast seemed to have been injured by the senior Soul Master who took me to get my Soul Ring. In the end, I finished it off with my spiritual power."

"After it died, it produced a left palm bone. That senior already had a left arm bone, so I absorbed the left palm bone. My Soul Power reached level thirty because of it, too."

"That senior said I could already absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, so I went ahead and absorbed the Mirror Shadow Beast's Soul Ring."

After hearing Huo Yuhao's story, Fan Yu fell silent.

The tale was so unbelievable it sounded like something out of a fantasy. It was hard to believe, yet it seemed to be the only way to explain things.

"Yuhao, could you show me the Second Awakening of your Body Martial Soul?" Fan Yu asked curiously.

"No problem." After saying that, Huo Yuhao activated the Second Awakening of his Spirit Eye Martial Soul and, while he was at it, gave his luck another boost.

Watching Huo Yuhao shrouded in golden light, Fan Yu believed what he had said.

Huo Yuhao felt that the story he'd made up was still much better than the one Huo Yuhao had come up with in the original. Fan Yu was quite likely to believe it.

"Yuhao, I'll go report that you're back from your leave in a moment. Is there anything else?"

Fan Yu felt he needed a moment to collect himself, and was about to ask Huo Yuhao to leave first.

"Teacher, there is one more thing. Actually, I have Twin Martial Souls. My second Martial Soul is Ultimate Ice, and I also obtained a Soul Ring for it on this trip to the Far North. The first-year assessment is coming up, so I thought I should let you know."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao switched to the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Martial Soul. A Soul Ring disguised as black rose up, and the temperature in the entire office dropped considerably.

Fan Yu was already so shocked that he had gone numb.

"Got it, Yuhao. Go back and get some rest. I'll take care of the rest."

After Fan Yu finished speaking, he watched Huo Yuhao leave, then finally couldn't hold back his laughter.

To have such a genius become his disciple was something Fan Yu wouldn't even have dared to dream of. Yet today, it had actually happened.

However, considering the Martial Soul Department's usual ways, Fan Yu decided to go find Vice Dean Qian Duoduo first, to keep the Martial Soul Department from coming to snatch him away later.

Although Huo Yuhao's earlier remarks had eased the relationship between the two departments to some extent, when it came to a genius of this caliber, even family would end up fighting over him.

Huo Yuhao had been through more than a month of hardship in the Far North and was exhausted in both body and mind. As soon as he returned to the dormitory, he fell into a peaceful sleep.

Tomorrow, after class, Huo Yuhao also planned to test his Soul Power.

After absorbing his third Soul Ring, the metal Soul Power detection ball he had no longer worked to determine his Soul Power Level.
