"Brother Cheng!"
At Mingde Hall, a figure caught Xu Cheng's attention.
"Huo Gua... ahem, Yuhao, you're back?" Xu Cheng asked in surprise.
He hadn't expected that old poison fiend to honor the agreement so faithfully and actually let him go.
He had made a deal with the old fellow back then: he would give two prodigies of the Body Sect an opportunity, and in return, they would let Huo Yuhao undergo his second Martial Soul Awakening at the Body Sect and send him back once he broke through to Soul Ancestor...
"Wait, you broke through to Soul Ancestor?!!"
"That's right. I also have the immortal herb's trial to thank. I'd only just broken through to Soul Elder, but with that immortal herb's effects, I managed to jump ten levels in just a few months. Of course, I'll have to slow down from here, or I'm afraid something might go wrong with my cultivation." Huo Yuhao scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
At thirteen, he was right in the middle of his growing years.
Huo Gua had shot up in height. Since his second Martial Soul Awakening, his looks had improved considerably too. Though he still fell somewhat short of Xu Cheng and Ji Juechen, he could already be called handsome, especially compared with his previously ordinary appearance.
"Not bad." Xu Cheng smiled and patted his shoulder.
Huo Yuhao grinned as well. "Brother Cheng, I've also created a few things of my own. Would you like me to demonstrate?"
"Self-Created Soul Skills?" Xu Cheng looked a little surprised.
"No..." Huo Yuhao shrank back slightly.
Before Xu Cheng could speak, he gave a sharp cry.
"Three Annihilations Fist, every punch pounds flesh!"
"Three Annihilations Sword, every thrust pierces the heart!"
"Three Annihilations Palm, grind the bones and scatter the ashes!"
