You Want to Reward Me Too?

What a pity. You can't eat too much of this stuff, or it'll affect your potential. Still, I remember that you can take one more Mystic Water Pill. I'll have to find a way to get another one when the time comes.

The further a Soul Master's cultivation progresses, the harder it becomes. That means my cultivation speed will slow down considerably from here on out. Why didn't that person write down the contents of the Mysterious Heaven Skill?

If he had written it down, then with my memory, I could use the Mysterious Heaven Skill to improve my physique right now. Although this technique gets mocked a lot, in the Douluo World, the Mysterious Heaven Skill really is an all-purpose cultivation method. Even a reborn God King would need it to lay his foundation.

He got out of bed, walked to the window, and opened it. A breeze swept in, stirring his hair as memories continued to churn through his mind.

I wonder how Wang Dong is doing now. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have been sent to the Sun Moon Empire, right? Ugh, having Tang San hanging over my head is such a pain.

Huo Yuhao immediately felt uneasy. He had no desire to be God King Tang San's dog. The Qiankun Love Questioning Valley incident and Qiu'er's sacrifice had left an enormous psychological impact on him back when he was still in middle school.

It had to be said that Tang San was outrageously absurd as a father-in-law. He had insisted on pulling that stunt of fusing Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er into Tang Wutong. First there had been the rivalry between Qiu'er and Dong'er, only for the truth to come out later and turn it into, "I cuckolded myself." It was utterly ridiculous.

Tang San could come up with any crooked idea when it came to training his dog.

And supposedly, gods were not allowed to interfere with the Lower Realm. That was basically complete bullshit. Tang San had interfered with the Lower Realm plenty of times.

After all, Tang San was the lofty God King. He had no need to set an example himself. Even if someone questioned him, he could simply say, "Who stands before the court, daring to accuse this God King?"

Once the Tang Family Continent had been completely laid out, the Douluo Divine Realm would become Tang San's personal domain.

After all, Tang San himself possessed two godhoods in one body, and he also had Xiao Wu, his sword sheath.

Later, his son Tang Wulin became the God of Destruction, while Tang Wulin's wife Gu Yuena became the God of Life. The second-generation Gods of Evil and Kindness were newcomers, and at the beginning, they had not received the complete inheritance of the First Generation Gods of Evil and Kindness' Super Divine Artifacts and godhoods. Their strength simply could not compare to Tang San's.

Later, Tang San's grandson Tang Xuanyu became the Dragon God, while the tamed Huo Gua also became a God King of the Great God Circle. Basically, every hero in the world ended up under Tang San's command.

"Huo Yuhao, come down quickly." A male voice called from downstairs.

Huo Yuhao's thoughts were interrupted. He looked toward the source of the voice and found Xuan Ziwen calling for him. Standing beside Xuan Ziwen was a beautiful young girl with wine-red hair.

"Teacher Xuan, I'm coming down now." Huo Yuhao immediately headed downstairs and soon stood before Xuan Ziwen.

"This is Meng Hongchen, Mirror Hall Master's granddaughter. She's taking you to collect your reward from the Hall Master," Xuan Ziwen said.

Meng Hongchen? The girl who had fallen for Wang Dong'er in male attire? There was no doubt that Meng Hongchen was a complete looks addict. Otherwise, she would not have become infatuated with Wang Dong'er dressed as a boy.

According to the original description, although Huo Yuhao was fairly handsome, he was still far inferior to Wang Dong'er in male attire. After all, Wang Dong'er possessed the Sea God Bloodline and had been born with exceptional looks.

Huo Yuhao suddenly recalled Meng Hongchen's experiences. Looking at her, he said, "Miss Meng, when do we leave?"

He was quite interested in the reward. After all, he was terribly poor right now, and he did not have enough means to protect himself. Although Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could forcibly intervene at a critical moment, given Huo Yuhao's current physical condition, once Sky Dream Ice Silkworm possessed him, it would be unable to do so a second time for an entire year.

"The sooner, the better. Grandpa is usually busy, so we can't keep him waiting too long." As Meng Hongchen explained, she also examined Huo Yuhao's face. By her standards, Huo Yuhao was indeed rather handsome, but not handsome enough to leave her stunned.

Still, his talent as a Soul Engineer truly surprised even her.

"Alright, then let's go now." Huo Yuhao nodded, preparing to leave with Meng Hongchen.

At that moment, Xuan Ziwen stopped them. "Wait, don't leave just yet. Yuhao, I have a reward for you too. After all, you broke the academy's record for the shortest time needed to pass the First-Level Soul Engineer assessment. I've seen tremendous potential in you."

You want to reward me too? Then hurry up!

Huo Yuhao felt his emotions stir. He turned around and looked at Xuan Ziwen.

Smiling, Xuan Ziwen handed him a card. "This is a universally accepted card in the Sun Moon Empire. It contains a balance of one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, and it counts as my personal support for you.

"I looked over your physical assessment data. Your physique is still a little lacking, so you can use this card to eat more Soul Beast Meat in the academy cafeteria and build up your body."

"Thank you, Teacher Xuan." Smiling, Huo Yuhao accepted the card without hesitation. Once certain types of Soul Beast Meat had been properly prepared, eating them could greatly benefit a Soul Master's cultivation. However, that meat was expensive, and with his former financial means, he definitely could not have afforded it.

And since this card could be used anywhere, his plan to pick up some bargains could finally be put on the agenda.

I'm counting on you, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!

Although Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was not especially powerful, it had lived for a long time. And living a long time meant it knew many things.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spent most of its time sleeping, but it was still a Million-Year Soul Beast. If calculated by percentage, it had been awake for at least over a hundred thousand years.

After all, during the time it was trapped in the Star Dou Great Forest and constantly drained, as well as the time it was being hunted down, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm definitely could not sleep.

"Mm. Then go meet Mirror Hall Master with Meng Hongchen. Oh, right, regarding the Soul Guidance Concussion Bomb you developed, I'll work with the academy to properly evaluate its value. You'll receive another large sum of Gold Soul Coins when the time comes."

Xuan Ziwen had always been rather tolerant toward geniuses in the field of Soul Engineering.

Huo Yuhao put away the card and chatted with Xuan Ziwen for a while longer before leaving with Meng Hongchen.

"Grandpa, I brought him here. Oh, right, where did Xiao go?" Meng Hongchen led Huo Yuhao into Jing Hongchen's residence, but she did not see Xiao Hongchen anywhere.

"He went to cultivate." Jing Hongchen briefly explained, then looked at Huo Yuhao with a beaming smile. "Yuhao, I never expected you to break the record. Even I was greatly surprised! In the future, you will certainly shine brilliantly in the field of Soul Engineering! You will definitely become a pillar of the Sun Moon Empire, and perhaps even His Majesty will value you one day!"

Although he felt that Huo Yuhao's future would at most reach Rank 8 Soul Engineer, the pleasantries still had to be said.

"You flatter me, Dean Jing," Huo Yuhao said.

Jing Hongchen touched the ring-shaped Storage Soul Tool on his hand. A flash of white light passed, and two items appeared on the table. He said, "To reward you, I've prepared a Level 4 Defensive Soul Tool and a Level 4 Storage Soul Tool for you."

"Both of these Soul Tools are my creations. The former has a name: the Red Dust Chest Armor. It is a triggered Defensive Soul Tool. As long as you wear it, it will activate automatically the moment you come under attack.

"Its defensive effect is equivalent to the full-force attack of a user below the Soul King rank, with all their Soul Power condensed but no Soul Skill used. The Soul Power it consumes is one-third of the user's full-force attack. Of course, for Soul Kings and users above the Soul King rank, activating it consumes even less Soul Power."

What precise trimming—it's basically a castrated version of Hongchen Blessing! No, "castrated version" sounds terrible. It should be called the youth version, or the mini version!

Huo Yuhao mocked it in his heart.
