Mirror, You're the Most Useless of All!
The spaceship slowly rose into the air, its silver-gray hull merging into the void, creating ripples before disappearing into the horizon.
Goodbye, Brother Huo Yuhao!
Xiao Yi Xian stood on the terrace of the Mittel Auction House, looking up at the sky until she could no longer sense any spatial fluctuations.
She then let out a soft sigh, a hint of melancholy in her eyes.
Just then, a warm hand suddenly reached out from behind her, with a hint of mischief, and ruffled her hair vigorously.
"See you again? We've always seen each other!" A familiar voice rang in her ear with a smile.
Xiao Yi Xian was startled and turned around abruptly, only to see Huo Yuhao's Divine Sense Clone standing behind her with a smile.
"Brother Huo Yuhao! You left behind another clone?" Xiao Yi Xian was both surprised and delighted.
Seeing this, Heavenly Fire Venerable was also taken aback for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Brother Huo, since you left a clone to protect us, why did you specifically ask me to come here?"
Huo Yuhao's Divine Sense Clone withdrew his hand, his smile unchanged, but his tone became more solemn. "To add an extra layer of insurance, in case we encounter danger and can't hold out until rescue arrives."
"Where do so many dangers come from in such a remote place as the Northwestern Continent?" Heavenly Fire Venerable was somewhat speechless.
The Guardian Mirror's voice, tinged with worry, rang in the ear of this Divine Sense Clone: "Huo Yuhao, is it really alright for your main body not to take me with you to Central Plains? What if we encounter danger—"
Huo Yuhao replied, "It's alright. With Uncle Zhukun accompanying us, there's no need to worry about safety. Now is the perfect time for us to try and repair your mirror body."
Outside the Jia Ma Sacred City, in a desolate valley rarely visited by humans.
Huo Yuhao's Divine Sense Clone appeared, and with a flip of his hand, the original body of the Guardian Mirror, which still had many cracks, floated in the air.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao took out several pieces of Void Silver Stone that shimmered with a strong silver light and a small box and placed them aside.
"Thanks to Uncle Zhukun for helping me get this powder off that Profound Heavy Ruler before I left."
Huo Yuhao opened the box and looked at the black powder inside.
"Otherwise, even with my current strength, it would probably take me half a month to refine this bit of Flamefall Mystic Iron from that ruler."
Next, the repair officially begins.
Huo Yuhao's expression was solemn. With a slight thought, a wisp of deep blue flame rose from his fingertip.
It was the Green Lotus Core Flame that had been temporarily extracted from Xiao Yan's body.
"Hey, be gentle! Don't burn me until I'm deformed! If I become ugly, you'll be responsible!"
The spirit of the Guardian Mirror perched on Huo Yuhao 'Huo Yuhao head, its tiny hand gripping his hair tightly.
Huo Yuhao focused intently, manipulating the Green Lotus Core Flame to slowly envelop the Void Silver Stone.
Under the intense heat of the Heavenly Flames, the Void Silver Stone gradually softened, and the spatial power contained within it became increasingly active.
Just as the power of this space was about to overflow.
"Now!" Huo Yuhao seized the opportunity, flicked his finger, and the softened Void Silver Stone instantly covered the surface of the Guardian Mirror.
Laugh!
The instant they made contact, Huo Yuhao used a wisp of his divine sense to grab half of the Flamefall Mystic Iron powder and spread it at the connection between the Void Silver Stone and the Guardian Mirror.
The moment the powder merged, the previously restless and almost exploding spatial power seemed to be instantly suppressed by an invisible, heavy force, becoming much more docile.
"Oh dear, will I turn into a black person? How will I ever face any other mirrors then!" The Guardian Mirror jumped up above Huo Yuhao's head.
Huo Yuhao dared not be careless in the slightest. His powerful divine sense surged forth, meticulously analyzing the spatial power that had been temporarily suppressed.
Under Huo Yuhao's guidance, strands of silver light merged into several key cracks on the surface of the Guardian Mirror.
The silver light began to blend with the original luster of the mirror, and the cracks were filled and mended at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The entire process lasted approximately one hour.
As the last trace of spatial power was perfectly integrated into the mirror, the entire Guardian Mirror suddenly burst forth with a dazzling silver light, and the mirror surface became as smooth as new.
"Bronze! That's alright! In our world of mirrors, this color isn't too bad!"
After the tension subsided, the Guardian Mirror noticed Huo Yuhao 'Huo Yuhao messed-up hair and immediately transformed into a comb to tidy it up.
"Mirror, how well have you recovered your power?" Huo Yuhao asked.
"Hehe! I'm brimming with power right now!" With that, the spirit of the Guardian Mirror merged into the mirror.
To show off, it flashed its mirror and reflected its image onto the cliff face beside it. The space around it twisted slightly, and a spatial entrance quietly appeared, taking in all the surrounding rocks and vegetation.
"Open up a space?" Huo Yuhao asked with great interest.
"To be precise, it's Small World where life can survive! I can now create a stable Small World at any time!" the Guardian Mirror said smugly.
Then, it flew to Huo Yuhao, and the mirror light became solemn. "More importantly, this is my innate ability, the Power of Protection!"
The Guardian Mirror emitted a beam of light that enveloped Huo Yuhao.
"Anyone I've marked will automatically trigger this ability when facing a truly deadly threat!"
The Guardian Mirror explained, "At that moment, a powerful spatial barrier will instantly be generated to block the attack, and simultaneously teleport the protected person to a safe location!"
"That powerful?" Huo Yuhao asked with some skepticism, "Could it withstand Uncle Zhukun's attack?"
"Uh, not now." The Guardian Mirror' smug voice instantly turned somber.
"The upper limit of this Power of Protection depends on the strength of the controller, that is, Huo Yuhao. With your current strength, you can only block one Dou Zun."
Seeing Huo Yuhao's disgusted expression, the Guardian Mirror hurriedly said, "The key isn't strength! It's that I can provide tens of thousands of Protection Mark at once!"
Huo Yuhao said irritably, "Then I'll be drained dry!"
"No!" The Guardian Mirror became smug again. "My Protection Mark will automatically mobilize the spatial power and energy in the void, and it won't consume too much of your energy, Huo Yuhao."
Huo Yuhao looked at himself in the mirror with a smug expression, lost in thought.
"So—you were originally there to train students, weren't you? These abilities of yours don't seem to be designed to enhance your personal capabilities."
In the endless void, the spaceship sailed at a leisurely pace, the void outside the ship hazy and unchanged.
On the deck, Elder Tong Xuan looked at the unchanging scenery outside and cautiously asked, "Senior Zhukun, at this speed—are we waiting for someone?"
After Huo Yuhao's introduction, Elder Tong Xuan already knew Zhukun's identity.
That's the Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan! A peak powerhouse no weaker than his clan leader!
Zhukun leaned against the ship's side, not answering Elder Tong Xuan's question.
"A race that inherits the Dou Di Bloodline) is characterized by its younger generation being mostly born superior, arrogant, and looking down on outsiders."
Zhukun's gaze shifted to Huo Yuhao, who was sitting cross-legged, concentrating on his cultivation.
"Huo Yuhao, even with Tong Xuan leading you, you'll likely encounter various forms of provocation once you enter the Ancient Clan."
"This—" Elder Tong Xuan looked embarrassed but couldn't refute it.
He knew that Zhukun was absolutely right; there were indeed many young people in the clan, and even some elders, who had reservations about the two brothers, Huo Yuhao and Xiao Yan.
Even though Patriarch Gu Yuan highly approves of Huo Yuhao and Xiao Yan, he cannot completely suppress all dissenting voices.
Xiao Yan is one thing, after all, he got there because of Miss Xun'er's connections! Tong Xuan thought of the corrupt faces of those people in his clan and couldn't help but feel a bit of sarcasm.
As for Brother Huo, those people couldn't see the immense value of the technology he could bring; they were still preoccupied with how much resource the clan leader had given them.
"Zi Yan, Huo Yuhao, this void environment is perfect for studying."
Zhukun continued, "Today, I will first instruct you on the most basic yet most profound Dou Technique of my Ancient Void Dragon Clan — the Void Ancient Dragon Fist!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhukun's aura suddenly changed.
The image of that cheerful, doting middle-aged dad who spoiled his daughter vanished instantly.
An aura of unparalleled powerhouse, surpassing all others, naturally emanated from him, as if he were the ruler of this void!
Sensing this awe-inspiring aura, Huo Yuhao and Zi Yan suppressed their distracting thoughts and became extremely serious and focused.
As Peak Dou Sheng, Zhukun's guidance was something most people wouldn't even dare to dream of. Even Elder Tong Xuan felt a pang of envy.
Zhukun stood with his hands behind his back, his voice like a resounding bell, causing the surrounding space energy to resonate.
"The training manual I've passed on to you records how to perform the Void Ancient Dragon Fist. Now, I'll demonstrate it for you!"
