The Next Master of the Sea God Pavilion

Huo Yuhao did not believe in any sovereign from the bottom of his heart. Even a God King was merely a powerful individual.

Why should one feel fear toward a powerful person?

If someone is stronger than me, I will show them respect, but why should I act timidly?

If they were to decide the life and death of others for no reason, shouldn't one fight them to the death rather than feel fear?

Huo Yuhao did not consider himself an unyielding person, but he still had some backbone. Whether it was a human or a god, he would not submit to anyone who decided life and death on a whim without reason.

Huo Yuhao's life motto consisted of eight words: repay kindness with kindness, and repay hatred with hatred.

Whether it was a God King or an ordinary person, he would help those who were good to him and fight those who were not. It was that simple.

As Huo Yuhao denied the concept of Reign Over the World in his heart, a powerful momentum erupted from within his body.

The two auras collided violently in an instant, and the entire sky changed color due to the clash.

Huo Yuhao's spiritual power took this opportunity to step into the half-step God Origin realm, gaining some characteristics of the divine realm.

"Equality of All Living Beings." Huo Yuhao whispered the momentum he had comprehended, launching a final collision against Mu En's Reign Over the World.

If one were to describe Mu En's Reign Over the World as "I am the only one supreme," then Huo Yuhao's momentum was "Equality of All Living Beings."

As a green light from the Eye of Life merged into Huo Yuhao's spiritual power, his momentum gradually overwhelmed Mu En's Reign Over the World.

"The younger generation is to be feared. With you in Shrek Academy's future, I can consider my duty to our predecessors fulfilled." Seeing this, Mu En withdrew his aura.

"If you had used your full strength, Elder Mu, I wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the situation. It was all thanks to you holding back." Huo Yuhao responded politely.

If they were truly at the same level, it would be hard to say whose momentum was stronger, but given the massive gap in soul power between them, Huo Yuhao certainly could not have won.

It was only because Mu En had no intention of a true clash that Reign Over the World naturally lacked follow-up force, allowing Huo Yuhao to temporarily gain the upper hand.

"Very well, child. Since you have awakened your momentum, I will not keep you. Do not neglect your soul power cultivation; strive to advance to Soul Ancestor as soon as possible."

"Understood. I won't disturb your sunbathing any longer; I'm heading back to cultivate."

Huo Yuhao offered a greeting and returned to the soul tool laboratory to cultivate his soul power.

Huo Yuhao's soul power had already reached the peak of level 37, and reaching level 38 was only a matter of a day or two.

Over the next few days, Huo Yuhao cultivated his soul power while continuing to forge his battle armor.

With the experience from his first successful attempt, the subsequent production was much easier. Within a week, Huo Yuhao had forged the remaining ten pieces of battle armor.

Adding the right arm armor he had forged initially, he finally completed the full set of First-Class Battle Armor.

After Huo Yuhao donned the set, his soul power fluctuations instantly reached the Soul Emperor level, an increase of over twenty levels.

He estimated his combat power could now go head-to-head with a Soul Saint possessing a top-tier martial soul.

Huo Yuhao's soul power also took the opportunity to break through to level 38 during the amplification, leaving him only two levels away from obtaining his fourth soul ring.

Two days later, Yan Shaozhe finally came to find Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, come with me to attend our Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion meeting. You should already know about the Sea God Pavilion, so I won't go into detail."

As he spoke, Yan Shaozhe pulled Huo Yuhao along and flew toward Sea God Lake.

"The Sea God Pavilion is located within the Inner Court, so we need to cross Sea God Lake to reach it."

As the words fell, Yan Shaozhe had already brought Huo Yuhao to the island in the center of Sea God Lake.

The two arrived before a three-story pavilion.

Seeing the three large characters "Sea God Pavilion" on the building, Huo Yuhao knew they had arrived.

"Shaozhe, bring Yuhao inside."

The moment they stepped onto Sea God Island, Mu En sensed the presence of Yan Shaozhe and Huo Yuhao and immediately called them in for the meeting.

"Yes, Teacher."

Yan Shaozhe replied and led Huo Yuhao into the Sea God Pavilion.

In the main hall, Mu En sat at the head of the table, Xuan Zi sat to his left, and the other elders were seated in order. However, the seat to Mu En's right remained empty.

Huo Yuhao didn't think much of it and found a spot to wait for Mu En to explain the battle armor to the elders.

Just as Huo Yuhao stood still, he heard Elder Mu's voice.

"Yuhao, come sit here." Mu En said, pointing to the seat on his right.

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then walked over to Mu En's side and sat down.

As he sat, several elders wanted to speak out in protest, but under Mu En's stern gaze, they all fell silent.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao whispered, "You've really pushed me into the spotlight this time, Elder. If I don't perform well later, you're going to have a hard time cleaning up the mess."

"You are the protagonist of today's meeting, and you will be for many meetings to come. Just get used to it early."

As Elder Mu's words, which carried a hint of implication, fell, the other elders looked at Huo Yuhao with curiosity.

"Very well, I have called everyone here today to announce an important matter."

"I announce that from the day I pass away, regardless of whether Huo Yuhao's soul power level is sufficient at that time, he shall immediately succeed as the Master of the Sea God Pavilion, with Xuan Zi assisting him in leading Shrek Academy."

Hearing such a statement from Mu En, even the elders who had always respected him could not help but speak up.

"Elder Mu, this is surely inappropriate. While you have no problem holding on for many more years, Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Ice makes his cultivation slow. What if he is only at the Soul Saint level by then? How could he lead Shrek Academy?"

"Indeed, Elder Mu. And the child is only twelve years old; isn't this too young? Such a decision would likely require him to hold a seat in the Sea God Pavilion right now."

"Yes, Elder Mu, please reconsider."

Even Xuan Zi advised, "Elder Mu, this decision is truly rash. In a few years, this child will certainly be qualified to succeed as the Master of the Sea God Pavilion. Isn't it a bit too early now?"

Yan Shaozhe, on the other hand, did not speak. On one hand, he understood Elder Mu well enough to know he would not make such a claim without reason.

On the other hand, he still could not fully comprehend the ability of Huo Yuhao's secondary awakening of his Body Martial Soul.

"You all underestimate the young. Yuhao, show the elders your strength."

"Xuan Zi, if you can find him after Yuhao conceals his presence, I will not mention this matter again."

"In that case, Elder Mu, I shall see for myself the strength of this young man." Hearing Mu En's words, Xuan Zi became curious and prepared to test Huo Yuhao's mettle.

"Then, this junior will be impolite." As he spoke, Huo Yuhao activated his second soul skill, and his figure instantly vanished from everyone's sight, disappearing without a trace.
