The Eastsea Spirit Transmission Tower Airport. The spacious and bright waiting hall resembled a modern palace. The marble floor was so polished it could mirror one's reflection, showing the hurried footsteps of people and the shadows of their dragging suitcases.
Hua Yichen and Huo Yuhao stood at the edge. Watching a soul-powered aircraft land, the former said:
"Let's go. Give that young lady from headquarters a welcome reception."
Huo Yuhao glanced at the silver-haired figure descending from the aircraft and walked over.
He hadn't expected her to come to Eastsea for school... This saved him some trouble.
Gu Yuena stepped off the aircraft and immediately noticed two figures walking toward her. Her gaze met Huo Yuhao's. Her movements paused for a moment. Thinking of recent events, her eyes flickered.
All of this he had brought it.
"Miss Gu Yuena, welcome to the Eastsea Branch. I am Hua Yichen the Tower Master of the Eastsea Branch."
Upon meeting, Hua Yichen smiled and nodded to Gu Yuena.
"It is an honor to meet you, Carefree Title Douluo."
Gu Yuena gave a slight bow and greeted him politely. Then she looked at Huo Yuhao beside her. Without any unusual expression, she extended her right hand. "Hello, I am Gu Yuena."
"Huo Yuhao."
Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered. Smiling, he extended his hand and lightly grasped her fair one for a moment.
In that instant, Huo Yuhao sensed his spirit power being forced to circulate. The air around him seemed to grow cold.
Ice Element control!
What a direct test. Her coming to Eastsea Academy this time is just to confirm my identity, isn't it? Huo Yuhao showed no change in expression.
There was a significant difference between Twin Martial Soul spirit masters and ordinary spirit masters. The key was that when Twin Martial Soul spirit masters switched between martial souls, their spirit power would rapidly fuse with the new martial soul, and their spirit power attribute would also change.
Recently, in order to attempt the Self-Combination Martial Soul Technique, Huo Yuhao had been constantly switching between his two martial souls. Currently, he was using the Ice-Jade Scorpion martial soul, with an ice-attribute spirit power.
And what was the Silver Dragon King?
She was a god. What "Elementalist" martial soul? Every element she controlled was, by human understanding, Extreme or above!
Even though her strength was gone, the Ice-Jade Scorpion martial soul was meaningless before her — it could only be suppressed.
His spirit power, which carried the Extreme Ice attribute, had been affected by her the moment their hands touched. The person before him could truly be called the natural enemy of all elemental spirit masters.
The Sea of Spirit had already exploded in commotion. Skydream said incredulously:
"What is going on with her? Why can she suppress Yuhao's Extreme Ice? How could such a spirit master possibly appear among humans?"
Ice Empress was similarly unable to calm down. Fortunately, she still had her rationality. She looked at the only one present who might know the truth. "Elder Electrolux, who is she?"
Electrolux said gravely: "She is not human. She is a god! Yuhao, you..."
Huo Yuhao's tone was very calm. "Elder Electrolux, don't worry. After her transformation, her strength is gone. This is merely elemental suppression. I have a contingency plan to deal with her."
In this era, with no Divine Realm above, there were only a handful of god-level existences. Most of them also had limitations, making it difficult for them to exert their full power.
Only the Silver Dragon King even though she had sealed her strength after transforming into human form still had the fewest restrictions on taking action. If necessary, it seemed she could bring forth quite powerful strength.
How to deal with her naturally needed to be a priority. To hope that she would not attack him simply because he had given spirit beasts a chance to survive would be the most foolish thought.
Ten thousand years Huo Yuhao had had far too much time to think. Even if only using the method of exhaustion, he could derive contingency plans for dealing with various crises.
Like the present situation.
God-Imprint Throne it was time for you to pay some rent!
Through the contact, Gu Yuena discovered that Huo Yuhao possessed spirit power with the Extreme Ice attribute. Having confirmed Huo Yuhao's identity, she frowned instead.
It was impossible for a human to live past ten thousand years, let alone do something like re-cultivating. What exactly was Huo Yuhao's situation? And why had he survived ten thousand years to come to this era?
She had the thought of further testing, but thinking of Huo Yuhao's life-saving grace to the spirit beasts, Gu Yuena ultimately did not continue.
The day was long. She would understand eventually. Confirming Huo Yuhao's identity was enough.
With that thought, Gu Yuena withdrew her hand — but suddenly felt a surge of spiritual fluctuation.
Was he angry by my trial
Hmm? Given Huo Yuhao's temperament, after discovering that I could suppress an Extreme martial soul, he wouldn't react like this... Hmm? It's not an attack?
Gu Yuena thought Huo Yuhao was annoyed that his spirit power had been out of control. But she quickly realized it was not a spiritual attack, but rather... Spiritual Sharing?
Gu Yuena's purple eyes rippled. Confident in her ability, she did not resist.
Even though her strength was sealed and her apparent spiritual power was not as high as Huo Yuhao's, her essence remained. It would not be so easy for him to severely injure her.
The spiritual connection was completed in an instant. Then... Miss Gu Yuena's previously composed and natural expression vanished. She instantly froze in place.
Huo Yuhao had already withdrawn his hand. Smiling, he looked at Hua Yichen. "Teacher Hua, Senior Luo should have already prepared lunch. Let's take Miss Gu Yuena there."
Hua Yichen thoughtfully glanced at Gu Yuena, who was frozen in place, then glanced in Huo Yuhao's direction. He chuckled and shook his head.
How rare. He actually saw Yuhao counterattack against someone's provocation.
He had naturally sensed the ice element energy and spiritual fluctuation in the air just now. The ice element should be Gu Yuena's martial soul, and the spiritual power naturally belonged to Huo Yuhao.
Was it because of a genius's pride? Having lost to her on the rankings, he wanted to win back his face? But from the looks of it, it didn't seem to have gone as this young lady wished.
Not paying too much attention to the matter, Hua Yichen turned and left. "This way, please, Miss Gu Yuena."
Huo Yuhao also nodded to Gu Yuena and turned to walk toward the Spirit Transmission Tower.
Gu Yuena paused, then followed the two. Her purple eyes looked at Huo Yuhao's back with a hint of shock.
Was that the mark of a Divine Artifact?
And that kind of origin aura was definitely not an ordinary Divine Artifact!!!
Even in her current state, she only had leads on a Divine Artifact she did not have one in her possession.
Huo Yuhao had a Divine Artifact? Had he already become a god ten thousand years ago? And a very powerful god at that? Had he come to the Douluo Plane simply because the Divine Realm had encountered disaster?
No, that wasn't right.
No sooner had she thought of this possibility than Gu Yuena dismissed the guess.
Becoming a god was a spectacular event. Even if she had been in slumber, with her strength, it would have been impossible for her not to sense it.
And if that was not the case, combined with all of Huo Yuhao's various peculiarities, Gu Yuena's expression grew serious.
To have survived from ten thousand years ago to the present, to have researched Spirit Souls and the Spirit Soul contract he cannot be an ordinary human. Moreover, some of the arrays involved in the Spirit Soul contract are not something the Douluo Plane should possess. Could he be... a reincarnated god? With a Divine Artifact in his possession, is he a First-Class God, or... a true God King?
Gu Yuena possessed the memories of the Dragon God. Continuously filling in the gaps with her imagination, she arrived at an astonishing conclusion.
But if a person clearly had knowledge from another world and carried a Divine Artifact, could you say they were an ordinary person? Absolutely impossible!
Moreover, given Huo Yuhao's accumulation from ten thousand years ago, whether he created his own divine seat or inherited one, he would have been above a First-Class God.
For him to have such an opportunity yet not seize it to not become a god but instead remain on the Douluo Continent ,could only mean that he had greater ambitions... or that the Divine Realm did not allow him to become a god!
The former would mean that Huo Yuhao was the reincarnation of a god above First-Class God, disdainful of that divine seat.
As for the latter... would the Divine Realm make things difficult for a mere human? No matter how bad the Divine Realm was, it would not stoop to such a level, right?
That could only mean that Huo Yuhao himself had a problem — that he had never been human from the very beginning! (Huo Yuhao: Who are you calling not human?)
