"Teacher."
Seeing Leng Yaozhu appeared, Gu Yuena smiled and walked to her side.
A flash of affection passed through Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes. She gently stroked Gu Yuena's head, then looked toward Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered. He stepped forward. "Greetings, Your Majesty Tianfeng Douluo."
"Na'er has been telling me a lot about you lately. It made me interested in meeting you."
Leng Yaozhu's smile did not diminish. She quietly looked at Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena beside her for a moment, her gaze very gentle.
Regarding Na'er finding a romantic partner, she actually didn't mind very much. It wasn't breaking any taboos. As long as Huo Yuhao was willing to treat Na'er well, what could she, as her teacher, say?
Huo Yuhao's talent was good — comparable to Yun Ming's. He had now been taken as a disciple by Snow Empress. He and Na'er were a perfect match, both members of the Spirit Transmission Tower. In every way, it was a good match — much better than her situation with Yun Ming...
In fact, the two of them might be the new generation's version of herself and Yun Ming — the kind that could actually end up together.
Thinking this, Leng Yaozhu set aside her thoughts. She chatted with Huo Yuhao for a while, beating around the bush with a few questions such as Gu Yuena's favorite foods and small habits.
Huo Yuhao answered them all fluently.
Seeing this, Leng Yaozhu nodded inwardly.
Whether you care about someone is best seen in the details. If you don't even know what someone likes or dislikes, it shows you haven't put your heart into it.
Now, Huo Yuhao's answers pleased Leng Yaozhu very much. Still, she sent him a reminder through sound transmission.
"Don't hurt Na'er. She treats you very well."
A ripple passed through Huo Yuhao's eyes. He did not speak, merely took a deep breath and nodded.
Seeing this, Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly. She took the secretly delighted Gu Yuena and walked toward the stairs. "Na'er, come with me. Your teacher and I need to have a proper talk."
Gu Yuena, who had been savoring the joy that Huo Yuhao knew her so well, snapped back to reality: "..."
She had thought Yuhao would be the one in trouble, but it turned out to be her?
Well — it was her who had forgotten her teacher...
"Yuhao — see you later." Gu Yuena sighed and said goodbye to Huo Yuhao.
"Yes — see you later. I'll make you a cake tonight." Huo Yuhao smiled slightly.
"Okay." Gu Yuena's eyes lit up. She smiled and nodded.
Leng Yaozhu watched their interaction, her gaze somewhat complicated.
Their interaction was relaxed and natural, making her involuntarily recall memories of the past... She was a bit envious.
After the two disappeared from sight, Huo Yuhao led Mu Ye to the top floor.
"Teacher Mu Ye — this way, please."
The two arrived at Hua Yichen's office and met with him. Carefree Douluo's face was full of smiles.
"Well done, Yuhao. From now on, you're also a disciple of a Limit Douluo. I don't need to worry anymore."
Before things had been settled, Hua Yichen hadn't known the outcome. After all, Tower Master Snow Empress had never taken a disciple before.
Now, things were good. Huo Yuhao had become Snow Empress's disciple. From now on, his path to soar no longer needed Hua Yichen's concern.
Moreover, after his exchange with Vice Tower Master Tianfeng over the past few days, he had also confirmed that she would not try to separate the young couple. With Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena supporting each other within the Spirit Transmission Tower, he couldn't even imagine what kind of scene that would be.
Good things came in pairs!
"I also thank Teacher Hua for his guidance." Huo Yuhao said sincerely.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao was still willing to call him "Teacher" at this moment, Hua Yichen smiled with satisfaction.
"Alright — enough with the extra words. The heavenly treasures you need have already been collected. What couldn't be found in Eastsea City has been transferred from headquarters. From now on, we'll have to trouble Your Majesty Mu Ye with the effort."
The corner of Mu Ye's mouth lifted. "What do you mean 'trouble'? Yuhao is my disciple."
Moreover — he was the hope of their Body Sect's revival!
Having obtained the heavenly treasures, Huo Yuhao and Mu Ye arrived at a training ground belonging to the Spirit Transmission Tower.
The afterglow of the setting sun filtered through the gaps in the towering ancient trees, dyeing the entire forest with a faint golden-red hue. The ancient trees had twisted roots, their trunks twined with glowing vines. Fine flickers of spiritual light occasionally flashed between the leaves, like stars falling into the mortal world.
The environment here had been arranged with special soul tool arrays. The air was rich with dense heaven and earth elemental force. Every breath felt like pure energy flowing through the body. It was also the most suitable location within the Eastsea Spirit Transmission Tower for Mu Ye to teach the secrets of the Body Sect.
"Today, I will first teach you the core method of the Body Sect — the Innate Secret Method."
"The greatest characteristic of the Body Sect's Innate Secret Method is to draw forth the innate energy from the Mystery of the Womb, re-evolving oneself, allowing the body to surpass the ultimate limit of humanity."
"It is divided into four stages — Body Piercing, Marrow Cleansing, Reshaping, and Golden Body. Upon completing these four steps, one can perform a... Tertiary Awakening of one's Body Martial Soul!"
That's right — not secondary, but tertiary awakening!
Mu Ye looked at Huo Yuhao, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and smiled. "The world only knows that Body Martial Souls have a secondary awakening. Few know of the existence of a tertiary awakening — something even members of the Body Sect find very difficult to achieve."
"The step of Golden Body is too difficult. What is called the Flawless Golden Body is merely reaching perfection in the Golden Body stage. I am still at the Gold-Grade secondary awakening. The Innate Secret Method hasn't yet broken through to the Golden Body level. I cannot perform a tertiary awakening."
"Yuhao — the location of your martial soul is very important. It's also a spiritual attribute. In my view, achieving Silver-Grade secondary awakening and Gold-Grade secondary awakening should be no problem. If you can complete a tertiary awakening, you will have the strongest spiritual attribute martial soul of this era."
At this point, Mu Ye looked at Huo Yuhao with shining eyes.
"Combined with the physical strength of the Golden Body, among those of the same level, I'm afraid no one will be able to fight against you."
In his view, a spiritual attribute Body Martial Soul combined with a Flawless Golden Body was the most perfect combination. It was just that, throughout the generations of Body Sect members who had achieved the Flawless Golden Body, they had all done so with other parts of the body — not a single one with a spiritual attribute.
After all, if one strengthened the spiritual attribute, their physical strength would be relatively lower, making it even more difficult to cultivate to the Golden Body stage.
A freak like Huo Yuhao, whose physical body and spiritual power both far surpassed his peers — this was the first time he had seen one.
Huo Yuhao first nodded calmly, then asked: "Teacher Mu Ye — how does one begin the first step, Body Piercing?"
"Yuhao — what do you think is most suitable for Body Piercing here?"
Mu Ye's gaze swept around, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"...The heaven and earth elemental force?"
The corner of Huo Yuhao's eye twitched. From Mu Ye's movements, he guessed what he was thinking.
"That's right — the heaven and earth elemental force!" Mu Ye said in a deep voice. "Just like Heaven Forging for metal — the human body is the metal. Using the heaven and earth elemental force to polish it, to nourish the innate energy — that is the core core cultivation method of the Body Sect's secret method!"
"Speaking too much is not as good as experiencing the infusion of the heaven and earth elemental force yourself. Yuhao — take it well!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the air suddenly seemed to become sticky. Various attributes of heaven and earth elemental forces gathered from all directions, under Mu Ye's control surging into Huo Yuhao's body.
Compared to the next three levels, the Body Piercing stage was undoubtedly the most painful — equivalent to shattering the body, then constantly reshaping it, improving physical strength step by step, condensing the blood and energy core. The difficulty was enormous.
Mu Ye had expected Huo Yuhao to cry out in pain. He was about to tell him to guard his mind — but found him completely unresponsive. His closed face remained as calm as ever.
Mu Ye's expression gradually changed.
What was going on?
Even if you weren't afraid of pain, shouldn't you show at least a little change in expression?
On the other side, Huo Yuhao looked inward. He saw the dense heaven and earth elemental forces, after entering his body, being suppressed by the Silver Dragon King's bloodline, beginning to wash away his body in a gentle manner. He fell silent.
After hearing that the infusion material was the heaven and earth elemental force, he had known it would be like this.
He would make her dinner even more abundant tonight.
While Huo Yuhao was cultivating, the Shrek Academy students in Tianhun City began their assessment journey, which would be "full of endless surprises."
