Huo Yuhao's Past (2)
Bei Bei saved him, Tang Ya, seeing his extraordinary talent and lack of support, invited him to join the Tang Sect.
The Tang Sect, a sect that once dominated the continent under the rule of the First-Generation Seven Monsters, has now fallen into ruin. Including Tang Ya and Bei Bei, there are only two people left in the entire sect.
But Huo Yuhao didn't look down on him. He had been orphaned since childhood, and he was already very grateful that someone was willing to take him in and give him a home.
He respectfully bowed to Tang Ya and Bei Bei, officially becoming a disciple of the Tang Sect.
At that time, he could not have imagined that this small sect on the verge of extinction would one day rise to the top of the continent again under his leadership.
Following Tang Ya and Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao arrived at Shrek City.
Standing in front of the gates of the Shrek Academy, looking at the ancient and majestic school gate and the spirited Soul Master students coming and going, Huo Yuhao's heart was pounding.
He knew that from the moment he stepped through that door, his life would be different.
Shrek's entrance examination is extremely rigorous, testing not only Soul Power and Martial Soul, but also combat skills and mentality. Every year, tens of thousands of people apply, but only a handful of a hundred are ultimately admitted.
Most of the students who took the exam with Huo Yuhao were from prestigious families, and their Soul Power was generally above level 20, with the weakest being level 18 or 19.
The Tang Sect had special admission quotas, and without a doubt, Huo Yuhao was exempted from the exam and became a freshman in the Outer Court of the Shrek Academy.
On the day he received his Student Badge, he hid alone in a corner of the Playground, clutching the badge and crying for a long time.
Mother, did you see that? I did it.
I've arrived at Shrek.
Shrek Academy, Female Dormitory.
Xiao Xiao sat on the edge of the bed, dangling her little feet, and smiled, "So that's how Huo Yuhao entered Shrek. No wonder Yuhao was so loyal to the Tang Sect later."
When he was at his lowest point, Tang Ya and Bei Bei saved him and even gave him a special admission spot at the Shrek Academy.
This kind of timely help, let alone Huo Yuhao, even I would be devoted to it wholeheartedly."
Entering Shrek is just the first step; the real test has only just begun.
The dormitories at Shrek Academy are shared by two students. Huo Yuhao's assigned roommate was a boy named Wang Dong.
Wang Dong is exquisitely beautiful, like a girl who is unbelievably gorgeous, but she is very spoiled and arrogant.
The two had a falling out on their first meeting. Wang Dong complained that Huo Yuhao smelled travel-worn and told him to sleep on the floor.
Huo Yuhao had been fed up with being bossed around since he was a child, so he refused to back down on the spot.
They couldn't agree on what to say, and ended up fighting in their dorm room.
This fight had an unexpected outcome.
The moment they clashed, their Martial Soul resonated strongly, and an inexplicable force caused their Soul Power to become entangled, almost causing them to lose control.
Later they learned that this was a manifestation of a high degree of compatibility Martial Soul, and a prerequisite for using Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Martial Soul Fusion Skill, one in ten thousand.
When two Martial Soul Master compatibility join forces, they can unleash combat power far exceeding the sum of their individual abilities.
The compatibility between Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong was at an unprecedented level.
They became acquainted after their fight; once the brawl was over, they were now considered friends.
Although they still bicker constantly, they have already established each other's status as roommates.
Soon, the Freshman Assessment began.
The Freshman Assessment is a team battle in which three people compete, and the final ranking directly determines whether or not a student can enter the ranks of the Core Disciple of the Outer Court.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong naturally formed a team, but they were still missing one person, so they chose Xiao Xiao, who was also a freshman.
Xiao Xiao possesses Twin Martial Souls: the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, a Control System martial soul, Nine-Phoenix Ceremonial Flute, a Support System martial soul, making her exceptionally talented.
At first, she did look down on Huo Yuhao's Soul Power Level, but after several rounds of interaction, she was completely convinced.
Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection is incredibly useful.
With him around, the team's vision seemed to be infinitely elevated, and every move and every flaw of the opponent was clearly visible. Their positioning, teamwork, and attacks were all extremely precise.
With Wang Dong's formidable offensive capabilities and Xiao Xiao's control and support, the trio's combination is nothing short of perfect.
In the assessment competition, they swept all before them, never suffering a single defeat.
The most amazing moment was during the semi-finals, when Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill in front of everyone for the first time.
Splendor Amidst Destruction; the Golden Path.
Golden light swept across the entire field, combining Mental Shock and physical attacks. Wherever it passed, opponents had no chance to resist and were directly crushed.
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
No one expected that the two freshmen would be able to unleash a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and with such terrifying power.
Unsurprisingly, they won first place in the Freshman Assessment.
Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao —these three names made their names known at the Shrek Academy for the first time.
After joining the ranks of Core Disciple, resources improved, but so did the pressure.
The competition at Shrek is extremely fierce; if you don't move forward, you fall behind, and the slightest slackening will lead to elimination.
Huo Yuhao worked even harder than before. During the day, he attended classes, practiced using his Soul Tool, and engaged in real combat. At night, he cultivated his Soul Power and honed his Spirit Power. He only slept for two hours a day, squeezing every last drop of time into his schedule.
His progress was astonishingly rapid.
He can overcome hurdles that others take one or two years to clear in just a few months.
Besides the nourishment from the Million-Year Soul Ring brought by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the most important factor was his ruthless, reckless spirit.
While others would stop to rest when their Soul Power was exhausted, he refused. When his Soul Power was depleted, he would rely on his willpower to persevere, breaking through his body's limits time and time again.
Just as his Soul Power was about to break through level 30, another opportunity that would change his fate quietly arrived.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm charted an unprecedented path for him.
Ultimate Ice, the Second Martial Soul.
It aims to find a Soul Beast with the Ultimate Ice attribute for Huo Yuhao as the vessel for his Second Martial Soul, creating an unprecedented "spirit + Ultimate Ice" Twin Martial Souls Soul Master.
And the one it chose was the overlord of the Far North, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, the Ice Empress.
The Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, a 400,000-year-old creature and one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, is arrogant and decisive in its killing. To expect such a powerful overlord to willingly become someone else's Martial Soul is simply a fantasy.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm set a trap, luring Ice Empress into Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit. Through a combination of coaxing, deception, and life-or-death negotiations, Ice Empress finally relented.
What truly made Ice Empress make up their minds was Huo Yuhao's will.
During the trials of the Sea of Spirit, even when enduring extreme cold, even when his soul felt like it was about to crack, Huo Yuhao never frowned or uttered a single word of begging for mercy.
His inherent stubbornness and tenacity moved even the Ice Empress, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years.
Thus, Huo Yuhao acquired his Second Martial Soul, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, with the Ultimate Ice attribute, marking the beginning of his rise to Huo Yuhao.
