TOP 5: Ma Hongjun, the Phoenix God of the comic version

After a moment's thought.

Huo Yuhao quickly gathered his emotions.

Feeling everyone's eyes on him, he said:

"Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Xuan Zi had never imagined Huo Yuhao had the potential to become a god.

He praised him. "Good. Very good. You're the one Shrek will be counting on in the future."

Ma Xiaotao said, "Yuhao, I'll work hard to become a god too, so I can stand beside you."

The others were not as optimistic as Ma Xiaotao.

Once Yuhao received the Sky Curtain's reward, the gap between them would probably grow even wider.

Meanwhile.

In Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm proudly told the Ice Empress:

"Bingbing, I told you Yuhao had the potential to become a god."

The Ice Empress pursed her lips in tsundere fashion.

But for once, she did not argue.

Even Electrolux was a little surprised this time.

He knew Huo Yuhao would accomplish great things, but he had not expected him to become a First-Level God.

"So Yuhao is a Child of Destiny? No wonder even a God King would scheme against him."

But after this revelation from the Sky Curtain, Yuhao's path ahead would be harder.

As for his own future death, Electrolux was not particularly concerned.

What concerned him more was the so-called Soul Spirit Method.

Huo Yuhao sensed Electrolux's feelings.

He said to Electrolux in his mind:

"Teacher, whether our opponent is a God King or anyone else, we won't give in this time."

Elsewhere.

In the world of Douluo I.

Wang Dong looked at the Sky Curtain and murmured:

"Yuhao actually has the potential to become a God King."

Qian Renxue was stunned too:

"A God King? How powerful would that be?"

The Angel God worshipped by Spirit Hall was already powerful enough.

A God King must stand above even the Angel God.

Phainon, meanwhile, was a little curious.

I wonder which of us is stronger now—a God King or me?

[This review has ended. Rewards for Huo Yuhao: Soul Power increased by four levels; Second Awakening of his body Martial Soul, Spirit Eyes, to Silver Grade; the Soul Spirit Method; one God-Sealing Platform containing the sealed Snow Empress; and one use of Spacetime Travel.]

After seeing the reward.

Everyone in the worlds of Douluo I and Douluo II was stunned.

He was already a Child of Destiny, and now he was getting a reward that defied heaven!

It was godlike!

Most people could not help feeling equal parts envy, jealousy, and resentment!

In the world of Douluo II.

Du Busi grew anxious.

He had already planned to seize Huo Yuhao after the finals.

He had not expected the Sky Curtain to expose Huo Yuhao.

And his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul had undergone a Second Awakening, reaching Silver Grade.

Worse, he was about to travel through spacetime.

Such a promising talent was about to slip through his fingers. How could Du Busi sit still?

Du Busi rushed to Shrek's rest area.

The moment Xuan Zi sensed his presence, he came out to block him.

Xuan Zi asked with a hostile look:

"Du Busi, what are you doing here?"

At the sight of Huo Yuhao, Du Busi burst out laughing:

"Taking Huo Yuhao with me, of course."

But he had barely finished laughing.

The next moment.

Huo Yuhao vanished.

Du Busi froze, then flew into a rage!

Xuan Zi lost his temper too!

The two immediately began brawling!

In the world of Douluo I.

Heaven Dou City.

Phainon's clothing shop.

A spacetime vortex spat out a blue-haired youth.

At the sight of Huo Yuhao's sudden appearance.

Phainon was dumbfounded:

"He actually came!"

Is that damned Aha still watching me, waiting to fleece me?

Don't use me to put on a show!

Qian Renxue was surprised, but she could not help laughing to herself.

"Whatever you say really does come true!"

Wang Dong was stunned.

She had not expected Huo Yuhao to travel here just because Phainon had mentioned it in passing.

She even began to suspect Phainon was in league with the Sky Curtain.

Huo Yuhao had only just come to his senses.

He thought he was dreaming.

"Am I dreaming? Wang Dong, is that you?"

Seeing Wang Dong there in a yellow-and-purple outfit, he could not help patting his own face.

Huo Yuhao thought:

Damn, that hurts. But why is Wang Dong dressed like that?

Could this be a dream within a dream?

Wang Dong is coming toward me.

As Wang Dong approached, Huo Yuhao blushed.

Is she going to hug me?

Since learning Wang Dong was a girl, he could not help letting his imagination wander.

It should be fine in a dream, right?

But Wang Dong held out her hand:

"Yuhao, do you have any money? Could you lend me some?"

Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded.

What is going on?

Isn't this a dream?

He asked without thinking, "How much do you need?"

Wang Dong said, "Five thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

Huo Yuhao did the math in his head.

Back when he sold grilled fish, he charged five Copper Soul Coins apiece.

To earn one Gold Soul Coin, he had to sell twenty grilled fish.

For five thousand Gold Soul Coins, he would have to sell a hundred thousand grilled fish.

His face twisted into a bitter grimace as he searched his pockets:

"I don't have any money."

He could hardly sell the Blade of Life, could he?

Besides, he and Wang Dong had only just been reunited, and she was already asking him for money.

What on earth was going on?

Didn't Wang Dong have money?

Wang Dong sighed and looked at Phainon.

"Looks like it'll take me a while longer to pay you back."

Phainon said casually:

"You can have Huo Yuhao work for me alongside you."

"You'll pay it off faster that way."

"Oh, right. You can grill fish. I'll pay you extra."

Huo Yuhao stared blankly.

Who are these other people?

Did I really travel through time?

After they explained, he finally understood.

They had arrived in the Era Ten Thousand Years Ago.

It turned out Wang Dong owed money and had become an employee at this strange clothing shop.

And the young man beside them was Xue Qinghe—Qian Renxue?

But what did that matter?

He still had many things to deal with:

His upgraded Spirit Eyes, the Snow Empress, the Soul Spirit Method, and Brother Sky Dream and the Ice Empress, who had fallen into a deep sleep!

Electrolux warned him from within the Sea of Consciousness:

"That young man named Phainon is no ordinary person. Even I can't see through him."

Huo Yuhao's heart jolted.

Even Teacher can't see through him.

Could he be a god wandering the mortal world?

He sells clothes. Could he be some god of weaving?

Does that mean I really have to be a good employee and help Wang Dong pay off her debt?

Phainon looked at Huo Yuhao.

He said:

"If you've decided to help Wang Dong pay off her debt, put on your work uniform."

Huo Yuhao's expression changed when he saw an outfit matching Wang Dong's.

These clothes are hideous.

The cool expression Wang Dong usually wore was gone now.

She had hated putting on the yellow-and-purple outfit herself.

But now Huo Yuhao had to wear one too.

At once, she felt things were fair again.

Seeing Huo Yuhao looking just as ridiculous.

Wang Dong burst out laughing.

Huo Yuhao shot her an exasperated glance.

And to think I was worried about her!

Phainon looked at them and said:

"To celebrate two new members joining my little shop, we'll use the fish I caught today to hold a welcome feast."

Qian Renxue looked at Phainon. A welcome feast?

He plainly just wanted to show off how many fish he had caught.

But she did not call him out. She said:

"I'll arrange a place."

Qian Renxue found a courtyard in the city.

Huo Yuhao went back to his old trade: grilling fish.

He glanced at Wang Dong. She was openly slacking off.

And here he was, still working to pay off her debt.

As he mercilessly gutted fish, he asked within his Sea of Consciousness:

"Teacher, what's happened to Brother Sky Dream and the Ice Empress?"

Electrolux ventured a guess:

"Perhaps it's because the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Empress also exist in this space-time."

"That may be why they've temporarily fallen asleep."

"Yuhao, take care of what's happening in the real world first. I'll study the Soul Spirit Method for you."

Huo Yuhao lit a campfire.

He was just about to grill the fish.

Just then, flames suddenly rose across the Sky Curtain.
