"Ancestor, do you think highly of that child Yuhao?"
Mu En asked again.
Judging by what Tang Chuan meant, could he be planning to nurture Huo Yuhao into a god? Naturally, nothing could be better for Mu En. That would be equivalent to Shrek producing a god!
"That child is very promising."
Tang Chuan concealed nothing and readily admitted it.
"He certainly is a very different child."
Mu En nodded with a smile.
After all, Huo Yuhao had been the only one to greet him when school began. He had noticed something unique about Huo Yuhao back then, but he had never expected Huo Yuhao to be so fortunate.
After they chatted for a while.
Mu En rose to his feet.
"Ancestor, since Yuhao is your disciple, Shrek will certainly nurture him well too. With his talent and potential, perhaps he can become one of the next Shrek Seven Devils."
After saying his piece, Mu En turned and left, while Tang Chuan lay back on the reclining chair, looking perfectly at ease.
"The Shrek Seven Devils..."
He could not help smiling.
Late that night.
Huo Yuhao sneaked out of the dormitory and headed to the Tang Sect, only to hear Tang Chuan's voice from beside him the moment he entered. "Yuhao, what are you sneaking around for?"
"Teacher, I..."
Huo Yuhao spoke to Tang Chuan awkwardly. "Actually, Teacher, I've been keeping a secret from you."
"Oh?"
Tang Chuan raised an eyebrow.
"Actually, when Brother Sky Dream sacrificed himself to me that day, he also drew a senior from another world into my Sea of Consciousness. He called himself Electrolux."
Huo Yuhao recounted his first encounter with Electrolux, but Tang Chuan showed no surprise and merely smiled.
"Yuhao."
"Huh?"
"I knew all along."
Tang Chuan chuckled.
"Uh..."
Huo Yuhao immediately felt rather embarrassed. So Tang Chuan had known about Electrolux's existence all along?
"Brother Electrolux, why not show yourself so we can talk?"
As it happened, Electrolux had already awakened from his slumber. Using a strand of spiritual power condensed by Huo Yuhao, he manifested a blurry silhouette. This was already his limit.
"As expected of someone who has already become a god. Your perception is truly keen."
Electrolux spoke calmly.
"Electrolux, the Holy Necromancer. If I'm not mistaken, you must be from the Holy Demon Continent?"
At those words.
Huo Yuhao could clearly feel Electrolux's Divine Soul tremble violently, and his voice grew somewhat unsteady. "You... how do you know?"
"When I was in the Divine Realm, I observed the many universes in the lower planes and saw the past of the Holy Demon Continent as well. Although you are now merely a wisp of a remnant soul and cannot remember your past, you should still know these things."
Tang Chuan spoke of Electrolux's past, leaving Electrolux increasingly astonished by the man before him.
"To think you even know that."
Electrolux exclaimed.
["I am Lord Tang Wang" lie credibility: 32%. Host obtained: Undead Certificate. Electrolux can use it to merge with his remnant soul and continually repair it. Once it becomes a complete Divine Soul one day, he can reconstruct his physical body.] [After Electrolux uses it, any subsequent teaching or assistance he provides Huo Yuhao will also count toward the host's rewards for changing disciple Huo Yuhao's destiny!]
Tang Chuan raised an eyebrow. This is great!
Not only could he do Electrolux a favor, but Huo Yuhao's subsequent growth could also be credited to him.
"Truly two birds with one stone."
So Tang Chuan looked at Electrolux and smiled. "Hehe, let the past remain in the past. Now that you are within my disciple's body, I'll be counting on you to look after him."
"Rest assured. I survive by relying on Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness. When Yuhao needs help, I will naturally provide it."
Electrolux agreed without hesitation.
"Hehe, excellent..."
Boom-!
Immediately afterward, an intensely blazing surge of undead power abruptly poured out of Tang Chuan's hand. In an instant, even the surrounding flowers, grass, and trees seemed to be touched by this power, taking on a trace of an undead aura.
"This is!"
Electrolux was utterly astonished.
How could Tang Chuan release such a dense undead aura? What exactly was this? Could he have mastered the power of the undead as well?
"This is the Undead Certificate."
Tang Chuan spoke.
"It is something I happened to obtain in the Divine Realm back then. I have no use for it, but if this wisp of your remnant soul can merge with it, perhaps it can continually repair your remnant soul."
A mark radiating an undead aura slowly condensed in Tang Chuan's hand. It was extremely unusual, formed of black and gray, and constantly emitted a flowing black-and-gray aura.
"The Undead Certificate..."
Electrolux had never heard of such a thing. What astonished him even more was that Tang Chuan would actually take it out.
"Accept it."
"Restoring your strength is a good thing for Yuhao too. There's no need to stand on ceremony with me. If you don't merge with it, keeping it with me would only leave it without a purpose."
Huo Yuhao was deeply moved. He had never expected Tang Chuan to give something so precious to Electrolux, whom he had just met, to pave the way for him. At once, Huo Yuhao felt his nose sting.
Sob, sob, sob, Teacher treats me so well...
Huo Yuhao sobbed inwardly.
"Yuhao, could you show a little backbone...?"
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was exasperated.
"Exactly."
The Ice Empress nodded.
"All right, I accept. Although Yuhao is your disciple now, from this day onward, I will also regard him as my student and do everything I can to help him grow."
In the end, Electrolux accepted the Undead Certificate. That resonance from the depths of his soul stirred an emotion called longing within him toward the Undead Certificate!
"Excellent."
Tang Chuan nodded.
"Teacher, thank you."
Huo Yuhao spoke with reddened eyes. Unable to restrain himself for a moment, he stepped forward and hugged Tang Chuan. Sensing Huo Yuhao's surging emotions, Tang Chuan quietly released his Blue Silver Domain to soothe him.
"All right, Yuhao. You're a big boy now, yet you're still crying. If Xiao Xiao and the others saw you like this, they'd laugh at you."
Tang Chuan gently patted Huo Yuhao's back. After a few brief words of instruction, Huo Yuhao returned to the dormitory.
Two days later.
Outside Shrek City.
Tang Chuan was already waiting there, with Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Dong standing beside him. Soon afterward, Tang Ya came over too.
"I'm here, I'm here!"
Tang Ya was panting from running.
"Sister Xiaoya, what have you been doing?"
Huo Yuhao asked.
He had also changed how he addressed Tang Ya to Sister Xiaoya, because Huo Yuhao now recognized only one teacher: Tang Chuan. Thus, he had to change how he addressed everyone else.
"Ah, sorry, sorry! My roommate happened to want to hunt for her fourth Soul Ring too, so I brought her along."
