"You're finally awake." Yan Shaozhe said with internal distress. "Teacher, Junior Brother has absorbed a lot this time and needs some time to recover. Should we postpone that matter for a while?"
Mu En ignored him, raising his hand and giving a slight point.
Everything around them became illusory. Before their eyes, a sparkling light flashed, and a feeling of falling came from under their feet. It wasn't until they were firmly on the ground again that the golden light disappeared.
The original Sea God Pavilion was gone. Instead, they were in a vast hundred-meter-wide space, with several deep and dark passages on both sides.
In the center stood statues, identical to those at the main gate of Shrek Academy.
"This is the true Sea God Pavilion."
Mu En said with a faint smile—
"The main body of the Sea God Pavilion is a Golden Tree, a tree possessing the aura of light and life. Without affecting its vitality, the academy's predecessors carved out the Sea God Pavilion."
"This is the underground world of the Sea God Pavilion, containing one hundred and eight rooms in total, encompassing simulated environments for almost all types of martial souls."
"Every inner court disciple has one opportunity for deep meditation here. Furthermore, there are even deeper levels of opportunity; whether you can find them depends on yourselves."
"Wang Dong, you take the passage furthest to the left."
"Little Yuhao, you take the third from the last."
"Sit on the meditation cushion in the room and cultivate in peace."
The two entered their respective passages as instructed.
At the end of his passage, Huo Yuhao saw a wooden door. Pushing it open, he entered a room without a single trace of light, deathly quiet and a bit eerie.
However, Huo Yuhao's powerful spiritual psyche unexpectedly detected a strange "distortion," causing his spirit to waver for a moment.
Staggering forward a couple of steps.
Countless yellow spheres of light lit up around him, like numerous pairs of eyes staring at him, exuding an eerie atmosphere everywhere.
He swept his spiritual psyche across the area, feeling a "physical heaviness" that made every step difficult.
Huh?
The walls were covered with triangular skulls, their eye sockets particularly large.
The yellow spheres of light were clusters of burning flames.
This inexplicably made Huo Yuhao feel a sense of "fear," not true terror, but just an inexplicable dread.
Realizing something was wrong, Huo Yuhao wanted to call out to Brother Lan, Brother Tianmeng.
But he discovered that although his spiritual world still existed, his connection to the many lives within had been severed.
Now Huo Yuhao was truly panicked!
Everything he had gained so far was the result of Zhuge Lan and the others' plans.
They had long since become like family to him.
If he were to lose them because of this...
He didn't even dare to imagine how devastated he would be!
But the more critical the moment, the clearer Huo Yuhao's mind became.
First, he could be certain that Mu En was his teacher and would not harm him.
Moreover, within his spiritual world resided a "Demigod's Divine Sense," so Shrek Academy certainly would not dare to offend a Demigod.
A simulated environment?
Right!
This place could actually "exert pressure" on spiritual psyche; it must be a simulated environment suitable for cultivating mental power!
Perhaps the environment was special, which was why the connection to his spiritual world was cut off.
Setting his heart at ease.
Huo Yuhao endured the immense mental pressure from the outside world, sat down on the meditation cushion in the center of the room, concentrated his mind, and began to cultivate.
He didn't know any specific methods for training mental power. The only way he had increased his mental power before was through Electrolux's personal guidance.
So Huo Yuhao chose to practice the Controller's Secret Transmission Basic 312 Forms. Ice blades danced rapidly within the space.
Despite having a psychic amplitude of 7, he was shocked to find that, due to the "mental pressure," he could only fully control 4 ice blades.
But with the experience of a psychic amplitude of 7, the difficulty of controlling the 5th blade was far lower than it had been for the 8th.
This made Huo Yuhao realize that this place was an excellent location for tempering his psychic amplitude!
Just then, Elder Mu's voice sounded.
"After your mental power mutated, and with that specific Demigod providing guidance, this teacher won't offer too much instruction."
"The key to training mental power lies in resistance and pressure."
"The skulls hanging here originate from Fear Dragons, belonging to the Earth Dragon branch, a subspecies of dragon. Their main combat strength isn't high, but they are a rare dragon species with a mental attribute."
"Only when a Fear Dragon dies of natural causes will part of its mental power be preserved within its skull."
"It's not difficult to kill a Fear Dragon, but finding one that died naturally is exceedingly rare."
"The 1001 Fear Dragon skulls in this room have been collected by the academy over the past thousand years. Currently, only their mental aura is dissipating. Later, when I formally activate them, you will feel tremendous pressure."
"As for how to cultivate specifically afterwards, if you have any questions, call for me at any time."
Huo Yuhao was very surprised. It could be pressurized further?
"Alright! Teacher, please activate it!"
As his words fell.
Mu En's presence disappeared, and the mental pressure instantly increased more than tenfold. Huo Yuhao felt like a small boat in a vast ocean, being tossed about uncontrollably.
But with each wave he endured, his spiritual psyche solidified a little.
This instantly excited Huo Yuhao.
The mental pain and suffering didn't matter anymore.
Forcing his spiritual psyche to obey, he continued practicing the Controller's Secret Transmission Basic 312 Forms.
This time, he could only manage to control a single ice blade, but Huo Yuhao wasn't worried; instead, he was delighted.
Excellent!
This meant that for every additional blade he could manage to control here, his psychic amplitude might increase by 6, or even 7!
Let's do this! Go for it!
After he entered the state.
Extreme Ice quietly condensed over twenty more ice blades. The spiritual psyche of Zhuge Lan, Ice Empress, and the Sky Dream Iceworm also emerged.
They had come along to take advantage of this "Psychic Amplitude Accelerator."
He didn't know how much time had passed.
Huo Yuhao was immersed in cultivation, unable to extricate himself, when Mu En's voice came through.
"The half-month period is up. Come out for now."
Huo Yuhao jolted awake!
What?
Half a month already?
It felt like I just closed my eyes for a moment!
He glanced reluctantly at the ferocious skulls covering the walls. Such a great treasure trove...
But the agreement was made long ago, and he didn't want to break his promise.
Gritting his teeth, he got up and quickly returned to the main hall via the passage.
He met Mu En's smiling gaze.
"If you like that place, you can come anytime in the future."
"Really?"Huo Yuhao said in surprise. "But I thought inner court disciples only get one chance..."
"As the master of the Sea God Pavilion, I do have some authority," Mu En said lightly.
Huo Yuhao grinned and gave Mu En a thumbs-up.
Teacher, you're awesome!
Mu En was somewhat surprised. Huo Yuhao's attitude had changed significantly; he had lost the initial reserve.
Indeed, strength could transform into confidence.
This kind of relationship was more harmonious, which suited Mu En's intentions.
"Let's go. Someone will keep an eye on Wang Dong here."
"Okay, Teacher."
Huo Yuhao followed him upwards. The moment he stepped out of the Sea God Pavilion...
[Altered the fate of Huo Yuhao and Shrek Academy, +7500 Fortune Points!]
Huh?
So much?
Could it be...
Huo Yuhao thought of something. Ultimate Ice condensed into ice blades, and he started with 8 flying simultaneously.
Psychic amplitude had reached 8!
Moreover, the 9th blade was also relatively smooth. With a bit more effort, he could break through.
"It seems your gains are quite significant," Mu En said with a smile. "This spiritual psyche is indeed convenient. I've asked Fan Yu to design close-combat soul tools specifically for you. They should be almost ready by the time you return from this trip."
"Thank you, Teacher."
"You are my disciple. Isn't that how it should be?"
"Understood, Teacher."
"And also, this ice-attribute storage ring. Shaozhe asked me to give it to you. Are you planning to refine the pills mentioned last time?"
"Yes, to distribute some benefits to the Holy Flame Sect. I plan to sell the rest," Huo Yuhao replied truthfully. "Brother Lan told me to accumulate a little wealth; it will be of great use soon."
Oh?
Mu En pondered the purpose of "accumulating wealth."
He didn't forget to add—
"When the time comes, if you have extras, sell them directly to that kid Qian Duoduo. He will give you the best profit-sharing scheme."
Huo Yuhao thought of that figure who always seemed to exude a "smell of money."
He nodded in agreement.
He definitely looks like someone cut out for business
