"Strange. Is it the pull of the Power of Fate?" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion murmured.

"What? What pull of the Power of Fate?" Scarlet King panicked. In the Star Dou Great Forest, his duty was to protect the auspicious beast and prevent her from suffering any harm. But when fate was involved, he lost his composure. After all, he knew nothing about fate.

After all, due to her unique nature, the auspicious beast faced no Heavenly Tribulations. As long as she wished to live, she could live forever. However, there was still one calamity she had to undergo.

Could it be that calamity had arrived?

Scarlet King immediately had the urge to call Di Tian for help. The auspicious beast was simply too important! Nothing could be allowed to happen to her.

"No, it probably isn't a calamity. I just suddenly saw the phantom of a human? Why would the Power of Fate make me see him?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion fell into thought.

"A human? Did you see what he looked like?" Scarlet King asked carefully. If the auspicious beast could describe that person's appearance, he would immediately discuss with Di Tian how to find him.

"I didn't see clearly." The Three-Eyed Golden Lion lay down directly on the grass, then asked curiously, "Scarlet King, what do you think human life is like?"

"I'm not familiar with human life, so I can't describe what it is like. But I can tell you this: humans are all despicable, shameless, evil beings!"

Scarlet King's expression turned solemn, and his voice gradually deepened. "They hunt soul beasts to obtain Soul Rings and grow stronger, and they covet soul beasts' soul bones as well. They share a blood feud with the soul beast race! Auspicious beast, remember this: only we are your friends. You must never trust any human! Curiosity about human life could very well lead you to eternal damnation! Those soul beasts who became curious about humans, then sacrificed themselves for them and ultimately died, were basically all deceived by humans!"

As the Three-Eyed Golden Lion listened to Scarlet King, countless thoughts raced through her mind.

From a soul beast's perspective, there was nothing wrong with Scarlet King's words. But she had lived for so many years and had always heard him say the same things. It was hard not to find them repetitive.

Still, today was the first time she had encountered such a strange disturbance in the Power of Fate.

At that moment, a seed called curiosity was planted in her heart.

"Just who is that human?"

Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

The moment Huo Yuhao entered the academy, he headed straight for the dean's office. He wanted to show Jing Hongchen his Martial Soul and further demonstrate his value.

Thus, he kept Mental Detection active while sensing his surroundings. Before long, he arrived at the dean's office. According to his senses, Jing Hongchen was indeed inside.

Soon, he entered the dean's office.

Jing Hongchen was seated in a chair, reading a book called "The Legend of Tang San."

The book came from the once-glorious, now-declining Tang Sect. It told the story of Tang San using his wisdom, noble character, and formidable strength to defeat the evil Spirit Hall, save Douluo Continent from misery and suffering, and earn the admiration of countless people.

To Jing Hongchen, this book was something he had picked up at an auction some time ago. Today, he had suddenly felt like seeing how this legendary powerhouse who had become a god was portrayed in a book published by the Tang Sect. But the longer he read, the more something felt off.

Tang San in this book was simply too perfect. Not only was he powerful, but he was also a moral paragon.

Jing Hongchen accepted that he was powerful.

However, he believed that no one in this world could possibly be flawless. So without a doubt, this was merely a method the Tang Sect used to promote their ancestor.

"Still, in this regard, whether it's the Tang Sect or the Sun Moon Empire, everyone seems to be the same. Every emperor in the Sun Moon Empire's history has been praised as a saint by the empire's historians. Even the emperor from over four thousand years ago, the one who lost a war and brought shame upon Sun Moon, was described by later historians with a single sentence: the emperor's intentions were good, but treacherous ministers held power at the time, and those below carried out his orders poorly. That was why Sun Moon lost to the Douluo Three Kingdoms."

Thinking of this, a helpless expression appeared on Jing Hongchen's face.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao walked in and called out, "Dean."

"Yuhao, isn't the holiday still ongoing? Why have you come back?"

Jing Hongchen looked at Huo Yuhao in surprise. Mingdu had many soul engineer academies, but the most famous and powerful of them all was the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

Naturally, these academies differed slightly in their holiday and term schedules.

"Dean, something happened to me." Huo Yuhao directly borrowed the original Huo Gua's reason for heading to the Far North after his Martial Soul Shattering, making a few adjustments. Then, before Jing Hongchen, he displayed his second Martial Soul—the Ice Jade Scorpion Emperor.

Of course, because everyone who had seen the Ice Empress was dead, even Jing Hongchen could not recognize it as the Ice Jade Scorpion Emperor. He merely believed it was an Ice Jade Scorpion.

Extreme cold radiated from Huo Yuhao's side.

Jing Hongchen casually activated a Level 9 Defensive Soul Tool, preventing the outside world from seeing what was happening in the office. Then he rose to his feet and looked at Huo Yuhao with excitement. "Such low temperatures, and an Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul—without question, this is Ultimate Ice! A genius, an absolute genius! Since the founding of the Sun Moon Empire, there has never been anyone with both Twin Martial Souls and an Ultimate Attribute Martial Soul!"

"I must report this to Old Kong! Yuhao, don't worry. The empire will spare no effort in nurturing you and strive to make you a Limit Douluo! Heaven truly favors our Sun Moon! Your second Martial Soul absolutely must not obtain any Soul Rings yet. The empire will definitely find a way to get you several more Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings."

In present-day Sun Moon, the undisputed strongest soul engineer was Kong Deming.

However, Kong Deming was currently only Rank 94, which meant he could only be considered a Titled Douluo. Only upon reaching Rank 95 and becoming a Super Douluo would he have a chance to become a Rank 10 Soul Engineer.

Even if Kong Deming became a Rank 10 Soul Engineer in the future and Sun Moon unified Douluo Continent, he would one day die because of his own strength.

If Sun Moon devoted all its resources to molding Huo Yuhao, a child with limitless potential, into a Limit Douluo and Rank 9 Soul Engineer, then after Old Kong passed away, Huo Yuhao would undoubtedly become Old Kong's successor. And as dean, Jing Hongchen would benefit from it as well.

As for a Rank 10 Soul Engineer, Jing Hongchen did not dare to dream of it. After all, even Old Kong had yet to become one. Yet throughout the history of Douluo Continent, quite a few Limit Douluo had appeared.

"Thank you, Dean," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

In truth, he had little interest in obtaining several more Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings. It would be better to find a way to obtain several more Hundred Thousand Year Soul Spirits instead. After all, the Soul Spirit System was clearly stronger than the Soul Ring System.

In the original story, Elder Yi was the founding father of the Soul Spirit System. But Elder Yi had died far too early. He had only created the Snow Empress Soul Spirit before dying soon after.

Since he had already transmigrated here, Elder Yi certainly would not die. That meant Elder Yi would have more time to study and refine the Soul Spirit System.

"Yuhao, that's far too formal. With your exceptional talent, you can absolutely bring the Sun Moon Empire to new heights. In the future, you will become the pride of the Sun Moon Empire!" Jing Hongchen smiled, lavish in his praise.
