The Holiday Begins: Journey to the Extreme North!

"Yuhao, remember that all things can be your teachers. A teacher is not limited to just one person. If you feel someone is worthy of your respect and learning from, then they are your teacher!"

Elex's voice rang out in Yuhao's mind. After thinking it over, Yuhao nodded and walked over to Mu En.

He bowed slightly and said softly, "This student, Huo Yuhao, pays respects to Teacher!"

"Good! Good! Good! Get up quickly! With a student like you, even when this old man reaches the end of his life, I will have someone worthy to entrust things to!" Mu En narrowed his eyes, unable to stop the corners of his mouth from rising.

"This is a little something from this old man regarding the use of spiritual power. You should study it carefully." Mu En raised a hand and pointed, imparting his signature technique: Heavenly Dominion!

Feeling the methods of using spiritual power within it, Huo Yuhao felt as though a door had been opened before him. He eagerly began trying it out, but every attempt ended in failure.

"Hahaha! Do not be impatient. Imagine spiritual power flowing through your attacks like soul power, integrating it with the use of soul power." Mu En's gentle voice sounded, and Huo Yuhao began to try again slowly.

"You girls can give it a try as well. After all, your little thoughts can't be hidden from this old man!" He joked like an old child, making the four girls blush bright red.

Still, they began trying as well. Just as the six of them cultivated, two figures arrived beside Mu En.

"You two still remembered to come over? Each of you thinks far too highly of yourselves. You got scolded, yet you still refuse to accept it?"

The only ones who could make Mu En this angry and earn such scolding were Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi. Hearing Mu En reprimand them, the two shrank their heads like quails.

"Remember this: Huo Yuhao has already been accepted as this old man's disciple. Whether he wishes to learn Soul Tools or cultivate himself from now on, neither of you is allowed to disturb him! Do you understand?"

When the two heard that Mu En had accepted Huo Yuhao as his disciple, they were both stunned where they stood. Hearing Mu En's warning, they nodded and no longer dared to underestimate Huo Yuhao.

As time passed, the sun set in the west.

Before a massive boulder, Huo Yuhao assumed a stance. Fine ripples of soul power gathered around his right fist, and the next second, he threw a punch.

A terrifying wave of air swept out instantly. The boulder remained completely unharmed, but Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, withdrew his soul power, then turned and bowed to Mu En in thanks.

"Thank you, Teacher, for teaching Yuhao this move!"

"Hahaha! Should I say that you have great talent, kid, or that your control over soul power is extraordinary?" Mu En stroked his beard, his face calm and pleased.

Then, the massive boulder behind Huo Yuhao slowly dissipated, turning into dust that drifted into the air.

Under Huo Yuhao's spiritual control, his soul power had already shattered the boulder. With the enhancement of spiritual power, it had been completely crushed into powder while still retaining its original shape. Huo Yuhao's current rank was simply too low; otherwise, no one would have discovered it without touching it first!

Meanwhile, over where the five girls were.

With Mu En's guidance, they had already touched upon the threshold of spiritual attacks, though they were still somewhat unskilled. Watching the five girls cultivate, Huo Yuhao saw their shortcomings at a glance.

Zhu Lu was fine, since she had specifically trained with Huo Yuhao before. The other girls could not manage it. They merely crudely wrapped their soul skills in spiritual power.

"Alright! From here on, you can cultivate on your own. This old man is going back to get some proper rest. Yuhao, remember to report back when the holiday ends!"

After giving that reminder, Mu En drove his wheelchair away. Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi exchanged a look, then deeply bowed to Huo Yuhao to express their apologies.

Huo Yuhao merely glanced at them before waving his hand to indicate that it was fine. It was all just superficial courtesy, and he could see through it immediately. He could not be bothered to deal with them.

The two seemed to know that he had seen through them, but for people as proud as them, lowering their heads to admit fault was already an enormous concession. That was only because of Elder Mu's standing.

Somewhat embarrassed, the two turned into streaks of light and flew toward the inner courtyard.

Huo Yuhao did not care about their departure. Instead, he turned his gaze toward the five girls who had just finished cultivating.

"Wow! Yuhao, you really don't know what fear is, do you? You actually dared to speak to that Dragon God Douluo like that!" Wu Feng looked at Huo Yuhao with lingering fear.

Beside her, Ning Tian wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. Who knew what she, a support-type Soul Master, had experienced that day?

"If you do not dare to fight back because of oppression, then no matter how powerful you become, you will never take another step forward. Whether you endure first and retaliate later, or retaliate directly to their faces, you must never lose the will to fight back!"

Huo Yuhao spoke softly, and the girls nodded. Indeed, they did not seek trouble, but that did not mean they feared it!

"Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Wu Feng, Ning Tian, this is the soul power control method Zhu Lu and I have been practicing. You can take it back and train properly. It will help you build a solid foundation, and the consumption of your soul skills will also decrease greatly!"

He handed over four notebooks. They were Huo Yuhao's farewell gifts for the four girls. After all, the holiday would begin after today, and he would be going to obtain his own second soul ring!

Seeing this, the four girls were somewhat shocked. Then they hurriedly waved their hands. "No, no, no! Yuhao, this is your cultivation method. It wouldn't be right for us to learn it. I..."

Before Ning Tian could finish, Huo Yuhao raised his right hand to indicate that it was fine. Being a clever person, Ning Tian could only accept the notebook from his hand.

The four girls looked at the notebooks in their hands, each gazing at Huo Yuhao with gratitude. He merely smiled and indicated that it was nothing. After all, everyone was friends!

Seeing Huo Yuhao smile, the four girls smiled as well. Watching their interaction, Zhu Lu chuckled softly, walked to Huo Yuhao's side, and looked at the scene.

Wang Dong refused to be outdone and immediately went to his other side. Ning Tian and Xiao Xiao looked on with some envy, but since they had not expressed their feelings, they were somewhat restrained.

"Sigh! Yuhao really is too dense!" Tian Meng watched the scene before him with glee, while the other two nodded. That was indeed the case.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.

The six gathered at the school gates, their eyes filled with reluctance. Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat off, Huo Yuhao said helplessly, "Alright! It's not as if we'll never see each other again. Once school starts, we'll naturally meet again!"

Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, their moods improved somewhat. When they reached a fork in the road, Ning Tian and Wu Feng went to one path, then turned back toward the others. "We'll be leaving first. Our families have come to pick us up!"

The others nodded and waved farewell to Ning Tian and Wu Feng. They boarded the carriage waiting at the entrance, which slowly rolled away. Looking at their receding figures, Ning Tian revealed an expression for the first time that time had passed so quickly.

After Ning Tian's farewell, Xiao Xiao also boarded her parents' carriage and waved goodbye. Wang Dong, meanwhile, looked unhappily at Zhu Lu, who could accompany Huo Yuhao.

"Seriously, why does Zhu Lu get to go with you to the Extreme North?!" Wang Dong puffed out his cheeks, sounding slightly jealous.

"Alright! Hurry home, or your family will worry!" Zhu Lu looked smugly at Wang Dong. Wang Dong snorted coldly and boarded her carriage to return home as well.

The remaining two exchanged a glance and smiled. Then they set off toward the Extreme North!
