Bonus Chapter. Enjoy!
=============================
On the other side, after following behind Teacher Han Tianyi through a pale golden halo of light, Huo Yuhao found his vision suddenly expanding, yet it was not a bright and open scenery, but rather an indescribable and peculiar strangeness.
Looking into the distance, the surroundings were filled with grayish mist; that mist was not dense, yet it seemed to have a certain tangible quality, floating in the air like shredded clouds and flowing slowly.
The ground beneath his feet presented a dull grayish-white, with a hard and smooth texture, making it impossible to tell what material it was made of.
There was no sky overhead, replaced instead by a boundless expanse of Chaos, where neither the sun, moon, and stars, nor any colors could be seen.
Standing within this peculiar space, Huo Yuhao subconsciously took a deep breath, only to find that he was completely unable to perceive the Spirit Power contained in the surrounding environment.
Immediately afterwards, he felt as if his Mental Force was blocked by something.
He wanted to extend his Mental Force outward to investigate the surrounding environment, but discovered that his Mental Force could not probe even a few meters away before being blocked back by the grayish mist, unable to penetrate it no matter what.
Huo Yuhao's brow furrowed slightly, and just as he was preparing to circulate his Mental Force to try again, the voice of the Skydream Ice Worm suddenly resounded in his mind.
"Yuhao! This isn't right! Big Brother's Mental Force has been cut off! I can't perceive the situation outside at all!"
Hearing these words, Huo Yuhao's entire body violently shook, and his eyes instantly widened a fraction.
The Skydream Ice Worm was a Million-Year Soul Beast after all, and Huo Yuhao knew the strength of its Mental Force better than anyone, yet right now the Skydream Ice Worm's Mental Force was actually directly cut off, unable to sense the external situation either.
One must know that the Skydream Ice Worm could even notice external situations while he was unconscious.
At this very moment, another familiar voice also sounded in his mind; it was Electrolux. Electrolux's tone was somewhat steadier than the Skydream Ice Worm's, but Huo Yuhao could still detect a trace of solemnity within that voice.
"Yuhao, this old man likewise cannot perceive the outside anymore."
Electrolux paused for a moment before continuing to speak.
"This academy is even more powerful than this old man previously thought. I still underestimated this academy; to be able to carve out so many Small Worlds, and furthermore have each Small World possess independent and complete rules and restrictions, this kind of capability is definitely not something an ordinary faction can achieve."
Speaking to this point, Electrolux paused once more, as if pondering something, and then slowly spoke his final sentence.
"The Undead Plane opened up by this old man is likewise a Small World, but compared to this place, it falls far short."
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh inwardly; these restrictions were simply too formidable. One had to know that Electrolux's abilities were above those of the Skydream Ice Worm, yet now even Electrolux was shielded, but... why was he himself only subjected to a fairly significant impact?
Whenever Huo Yuhao felt that his understanding of the academy was sufficient, the academy would always reshuffle his cognition once again.Yet before Huo Yuhao had time to fully digest the shock in his heart, Teacher Han Tianyi, standing before him, spoke up.
With both hands behind his back, Teacher Han Tianyi looked calmly at Huo Yuhao and slowly said.
"This is the place suitable for your training."
Huo Yuhao was slightly stunned, raising his head to look at Teacher Han Tianyi.
"There is no other training here, only your Mental Force. Starting from now, you can only rely on your own Mental Force, and there is no way to depend on any other powers."
After he finished speaking these words, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt that the very last trace of connection in his mind with the Skydream Ice Worm and Electrolux was completely severed as well, leaving absolute silence inside his entire mind.
Huo Yuhao had never encountered such a thing before, and it could be said he felt quite unaccustomed to it. However, Huo Yuhao still continued to ask; after all, since this was his training ground, he wanted to know what his training method was actually like.
"Teacher Han, how should my Mental Force be trained here?"
Hearing these words, the corners of Teacher Han Tianyi's mouth curved up slightly, revealing a subtle, hard-to-detect smile, before he slowly raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
Snap!
That sound was crisp and short, echoing throughout this grayish space. Immediately following, Huo Yuhao saw the mist ahead violently churn, as if something was taking form within the mist.
That mist grew increasingly dense and solidified, eventually converging into a huge outline right in front of Huo Yuhao.
That was an eye, an incomparably huge eye.
That eye floated suspended in mid-air, standing several meters tall. Its pupil exhibited an eerie purplish-red, with countless minute beams of light seemingly circulating within, and the white of the eye was covered with dense black lines like spiderwebs, looking extremely terrifying.
That eye slowly rolled once, and then that purplish-red pupil directly locked onto Huo Yuhao's line of sight.
Huo Yuhao's body stiffened abruptly. At that instant, he felt an invisible mental oppression rush toward him like a tide, as if it wanted to completely swallow his consciousness.
That sense of oppression was quite intense, even making his breathing somewhat difficult.
Teacher Han Tianyi's voice rang out at this moment, remaining steady.
"Your next objective is to deal with this big guy."
Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched slightly. He glanced at that huge eye, then looked at Teacher Han Tianyi, wanting to say something, but was choked back by Teacher Han Tianyi's subsequent words.
"Here, apart from your Spirit Eyes and Mental Force, all Spirit Tools and all other supporting abilities cannot be used at all."
Huo Yuhao hurriedly tried it out, and sure enough, he found that his Ice God Body could not be activated no matter what. Then he finally understood that the Skydream Ice Worm and Electrolux could also be considered his supports, and immediately afterwards, he discovered an even more desperate fact: his body could not move.
His feet were as if glued to the ground, unable to move even a fraction of an inch no matter what, and he couldn't even manage to raise his hand.
After seeing this appearance of Huo Yuhao, Teacher Han Tianyi casually added another sentence.
"Now what you can do is only use your Mental Force to deal with this fellow before your eyes; you have no way to dodge."
Huo Yuhao: "..."
Is this really how it's played?
He looked at that huge eye suspended in mid-air, then looked at his completely immobile body, and then took a deep breath.
Right at this moment, that huge eye suddenly trembled lightly, and then slowly drifted toward Huo Yuhao's direction.
Its speed was not fast, but as it kept drawing closer, Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that mental oppression rapidly strengthening at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His temples began to faintly ache, as if an invisible needle was slowly stabbing bit by bit into his mind.
Teacher Han Tianyi stood aside, his unhurried voice floating over.
"The closer this monster is to you, the more pain you will feel."
"Therefore, if you are afraid of pain, then hurry up and resolve this big guy."
