Chapter 26 Departure
At this moment, Huo Yuhao had completely focused his mind and body on the scroll in front of him.
The Spirit Eye Martial Soul glowed faintly as Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged on the ground and began copying this ultimate martial soul cultivation manual.
Rather than a secret manual, this scroll is more like a cultivation guide, recording the views of Shrek Academy's three ultimate ancestors on why the ultimate is the ultimate.
For Huo Yuhao, this kind of intellectual enlightenment was far more important than creating his own soul skills or cultivation methods.
"The ultimate wind, the ultimate fire, the ultimate wood..."
"So this is what the three ultimate pavilion masters in Shrek Academy's history had."
He copied and pondered at the same time, and even communicated and discussed with the Hyotei in the Sea of Spirit, trying to find the growth path of the ultimate ice that was most suitable for him.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's situation, Yan Shaozhe's brow twitched.
"teacher."
He approached Mu En, his expression shifting between light and shadow: "Huo Yuhao's true spirit seems to be the eye. That means he's a spirit master with a mental attribute, which means he can definitely memorize all the contents of the manual."
Mu En glanced at him slightly: "Shao Zhe, the real secret isn't on the scroll, it's in your heart."
"How can the true essence of an ultimate martial soul be fully explained in a single manual? That manual belongs to three generations of Shrek Academy ancestors, not Huo Yuhao's. Do you understand?"
Yan Shaozhe was taken aback upon hearing this, and his face showed a look of confusion.
Moon said with exasperation, "I've told you several times, the wings of the Phoenix of Light should protect fledglings as they grow, not be used as cages to imprison others."
"We shouldn't be afraid that Huo Yuhao will memorize all the secret manuals, because they aren't his. Shrek Academy should be thinking about how to cultivate students who can rival or even surpass him."
"Will you listen to me when I say this?"
Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but feel ashamed.
He quickly bowed and said thoughtfully, "Teacher, I understand."
So that's why the teacher wanted Xiaotao to come along.
If she can seize this opportunity and use Huo Yuhao's abilities to suppress the Phoenix Evil Flame, she will definitely be able to trample Huo Yuhao underfoot in the future and restore Shrek Academy's honor!
Mu En had no idea what Yan Shaozhe was thinking. He simply nodded and said, "Now that you understand, why don't you go find Xiao Tao and explain the details of this trip to her?"
Yan Shaozhe bowed and agreed, then quickly left.
Through constant copying and discussions with Ice Emperor, Huo Yuhao's understanding of ultimate attributes deepened.
"The wind is formless, yet ever-changing."
"Fire can destroy, but it also gives rise to new life."
"The cycle of flourishing and decay continues endlessly."
He would sometimes write rapidly, sometimes frown, constantly pondering the path to the ultimate ice.
"Frozen heaven and earth," the Ice Emperor said, expressing his understanding of the ultimate ice, "utter silence."
Huo Yuhao did not completely agree with this.
For Huo Yuhao, the ultimate ice is ultimately just an additional attribute of his martial soul, and cannot be used as the main power for cultivating the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique.
The reason why the Azure Sky Profound Ice Dragon Martial Soul is strong is because the Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Technique is strong, not because of the ultimate ice.
Moreover, the martial arts manual records the martial arts of the Martial Ancestor, not the legacy of the Ice Lord.
For Huo Yuhao, prioritizing ice over martial arts was putting the cart before the horse.
Huo Yuhao vaguely understood something.
I should cultivate the Spirit Eye Martial Soul as part of the Talisman Master system, while my second Martial Soul, based on the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique, should be the main focus of my Soul Power system.
At the same time, because the Azure Sky Profound Ice Dragon Martial Soul is essentially a manifestation of the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Technique, Huo Yuhao guessed that with the continuous improvement of the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Technique, the lifespan of the Azure Sky Profound Ice Dragon Martial Soul's spirit rings might also increase in the future.
"this……"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Yuhao, Tianmeng and I can't guarantee anything about your idea," Bingdi said.
Then Tianmeng Bingcan agreed, "Yes, Brother Hao, although the spirit ring is a power connected to the origin of the martial spirit, your situation is unprecedented. Before you, there has never been a case where a cultivation technique was used to stimulate the birth of the martial spirit and serve as its foundation."
Huo Yuhao shook his head: "We were too hasty back then. We should have let Tianmeng raise the Ice Emperor's soul ring to the point where it would be just one year away from reaching 400,000 years."
However, Huo Yuhao was not disappointed.
Because of his current level of Azure Dragon Transformation Technique, even the first layer of dragon skin was achieved with the help of the Ice Emperor Soul Ring. As his cultivation level improves in the future, he will have plenty of time to verify this conjecture.
"I should treat the ultimate ice as nourishment to promote the cultivation of the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique."
A flash of inspiration struck Huo Yuhao: "Extreme ice can be used as a medium to temper the body, stimulating the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique with its extreme cold power, allowing the physical body to continuously break through its limits!"
"This is equivalent to turning the passive process of physical adaptation to the extreme from the Soul Venerable to the Soul Saint stage into an active one."
"Using extreme ice as firewood and martial arts as a furnace, we forge and refine ourselves!"
"The first step should be to try to channel the power of extreme ice into the meridians."
As soon as the idea came to him, Huo Yuhao couldn't wait to try it out.
But reason told him that now was not the time; he had to wait until his meridians were more resilient and he had a deeper understanding of the ultimate ice.
Du Busi stood aside, and seeing the intense fluctuations in Huo Yuhao's soul power, a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
He simply sat cross-legged on the ground and began to recover from his injuries.
The indestructible spirit was himself; now, with his bones broken and tendons snapped, the damage was practically equivalent to damage to his spirit.
Soon, a layer of dark green soul power light emanated from Du Busi's body, and his blood and qi flowed like a great river.
As the sect leader of the Body Sect and a level 98 Super Douluo, his control over his body has reached a state of perfection. At this moment, fine beads of sweat began to seep from his forehead, and his bones and muscles slowly connected under his precise control.
As time passed, Huo Yuhao's transcription was nearing its end.
His eyes constantly gleamed with a sense of enlightenment.
Finally, he let out a long breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and thought to himself, "The ultimate ice can only serve as a bridge for me to reach a higher realm."
Huo Yuhao closed the booklet and pondered for a long time with his eyes closed.
"To me, the ultimate ice is not the desolation and destruction of freezing everything. Under the power of the Heavenly Dragon in the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique, it is the rebirth after the body returns to stillness, just like after a harsh winter, new buds will always break through the frozen soil and grow tenaciously."
He reopened his eyes, and his previously cold and sharp aura seemed to have changed somewhat at this moment.
Seeing Huo Yuhao in such a state, Mu En couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that the Body Sect had truly found a promising talent.
Huo Yuhao respectfully returned the original scroll to Mu En: "Thank you for your kindness, Elder Mu. I have finished copying it and am now returning the original manual."
"As for the copied copies, I will burn them now and will never reveal them in the slightest."
Moon took the scroll and shook his head with a deep gaze, saying, "No need. The copy you made contains your own insights. That's your ultimate secret manual, not Shrek's."
"Remember, it's true that you have to walk your own path, but some things are better not to be encountered as early as possible."
His expression was kind, completely unlike the imposing manner he had displayed when he single-handedly suppressed the entire Body Sect. He acted like an ordinary old neighbor, holding Huo Yuhao's arm and chatting casually.
Huo Yuhao's expression changed frequently, sometimes confused, sometimes amazed.
Finally, he looked thoughtfully at Ma Xiaotao, who had come from the inner courtyard.
Du Busi awoke from his deep meditation and, seeing Huo Yuhao and Mu En talking, did not go up to stop them.
Even though the relationship between the Body Sect and Shrek Academy is irreconcilable, Mu En is still the only Limit Douluo who is alive on the surface. Huo Yuhao will definitely gain something unexpected from talking to him.
Poison Undying stood up. Even though his physical injuries wouldn't heal in a short time, his inner turmoil had been resolved, and he felt genuinely relieved.
His soul power cultivation seemed to have loosened slightly, but the conditions for advancing to the Limit Douluo level were too demanding and could not be easily shaken.
Xuanzi, who had been revived after being treated by Zhuang Yusen, came to Mu En's side with a gloomy expression.
Behind him followed a woman with a cold and aloof appearance and long, fiery red hair; she was Ma Xiaotao, an inner disciple of Shrek Academy.
"Xuanzi," Mu En said earnestly, "I hope you can learn a lesson from this incident."
Xuanzi lowered his head in shame.
People often use the phrase "internal troubles and external threats" to describe the turmoil and instability of a power.
At this moment, Xuanzi felt that he had caused internal troubles by burying a generation of Shrek Academy, and now he had caused external troubles by going to the Heavenly Soul Empire. He was simply the biggest sinner in Shrek Academy's history, and he could not atone for his sins without death.
Mu En saw through Xuanzi's thoughts, offered a few words of encouragement, and then turned his attention to Ma Xiaotao.
"Shao Zhe has already told you everything, hasn't he?" he said.
Ma Xiaotao nodded: "Teacher Mu, my teacher has already told me, and I will not let Shrek Academy down."
"Alright." Mu En turned to face the members of the Body Sect: "Go."
As dozens of beams of light shot into the sky, Moon, who had been holding on with all his might, finally could no longer hold on.
His vision went black, and his body fell forward uncontrollably.
"Old Mu!" the Shrek members exclaimed, quickly reaching out to help Mu En up.
With his last ounce of strength, Moon said, "I'm fine. Help me to the Golden Tree."
Then he closed his eyes and fell unconscious.
