The Eastsea Spirit Transmission Tower rose high into the clouds, its tip shimmering with a pale blue light under the sun, as if touching the horizon. The battle that had shaken the entire spirit master world two years ago had turned this once low key building into the focus of countless eyes.
All because, after digging into the information, it was determined that Huo Yuhao and the others were members of the Spirit Transmission Tower.
However, facing this force the only one in Eastsea City with a Title Douluo in residence no one dared to act too presumptuously, and it did not affect the lives of Huo Yuhao and the others.
Huo Yuhao stepped into the Spirit Transmission Tower and greeted someone approaching him.
"Sister Anya, good morning."
"Yuhao, good morning."
Seeing Huo Yuhao, Anya's already joyful face broke into a warm smile.
Because of Huo Yuhao, she had been promoted yet again!
Thinking back now, being a Spirit Transmission Master was truly the best job. Seize the opportunity and rise to the top in one step.
She heard that the colleague who had worked with young Wulin had also been promoted. Joy shared is joy doubled.
"I heard you're going to headquarters?" Anya asked.
"Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded and took out a gift box to give to Anya. "This is a gift for you. Thank you for taking care of me all these years, Sister Anya."
"Rather than me taking care of you, it's more accurate to say that I owe you a debt of gratitude. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't be sitting in this position now."
Even as she said this, Anya still accepted the gift box and smiled.
"A Level 6 Mecha Manufacturer and Level 6 Mecha Designer, the number one on the Junior Genius Rankings... I'll have to really look forward to this gift..."
Just then, a sudden commotion came from outside the Spirit Transmission Tower, causing Anya to stop mid sentence. The two turned to look and saw a group of parents with their children gathered at the entrance, apparently waiting in line.
"The Spirit Awakening Day is tomorrow, isn't it?" Anya said with some confusion. "Why are they here today? And those children are already past the right age."
A staff member passing by explained to her, "The Federation has asked us to temporarily take in a group of children and spirit masters. The reason the soul powered aircraft have been temporarily grounded is also related to this. They've all been sent to various places to pick up and transport personnel. I don't know what's happened either."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao watched the parents being led into the Spirit Transmission Tower by the staff, saw their uneasy expressions, and looked at the children as well. After thinking for a moment, he said to Anya, who had snapped back to attention, "Then I'll go say goodbye to the others. I'll see you again when I have time."
A complex look appeared in Anya's eyes, which eventually turned into emotion. "Alright. Goodbye. Come back and visit often when you have time."
"Mm."
After that, Huo Yuhao went to see his acquaintances at the Spirit Transmission Tower, as well as Xie Xie and the others.
"Boss, you and Gu Yuena go ahead to the Spirit Transmission Tower headquarters. We'll come later," Xie Xie said with a smile. "When we get there, we'll come to you. I also want to study at the Sun Moon Spirit Master Academy."
In the past two years, all of them had basically reached Spirit Lord, a year faster than originally expected. But things wouldn't be as smooth after that. After using the Spirit Elevation Platform, pills, and everything else, their speed would gradually return to normal.
Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head. "Alright."
Over the past two years, Xie Xie and the others had finally completed their Black Grade assessments. They would need to go to various branch offices to formally meet their teachers, which would take some time.
Luo Yanglu, who was also standing nearby, saw Huo Yuhao looking at him and smiled. "Be safe on the road. And... come back and visit often."
"Of course I will."
Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, then took out two items and handed them to Luo Yanglu. "This one is for you. Please pass the other one to Teacher Wu."
Luo Yanglu accepted them with a smile, without refusing.
They exchanged a few more words and said their goodbyes a few times.
Finally, Huo Yuhao walked toward a simulation training room.
The others from Zero Class were with Luo Yanglu. Only Gu Yuena was here.
Time flew by. Two years had left astonishing changes on her. The once immature girl had grown into a graceful young woman. At over one meter and seventy centimeters tall, she stood out in any crowd. Although there was still some youthfulness in her brows and eyes, the early maturity unique to young girls made her even more striking than boys of the same age.
Her slender figure had begun to show graceful curves. Her long neck and slim waist every line was just right. Black leggings outlined her long, straight legs, which shimmered with the healthy, lustrous glow unique to youth under the light.
Gu Yuena stood quietly beneath a tree, her silver hair falling like a waterfall, her gaze cool as frost. The moment her right hand formed an empty grip, a long spear radiating silver light suddenly appeared.
The spear's shaft was long, exceeding a zhang, slender as if condensed from moonlight. Its entire body was covered in dense hexagonal silver scales, each one like a carefully carved ice crystal, reflecting a cold sharpness in the dim light.
Suddenly, she moved.
Her body didn't sway, but the spear had already pierced the air.
The moment that thrust was made, time seemed to freeze. The spear tip transformed into a cold silver line, silently cutting through the air. Where it passed, space slightly distorted, revealing fine cracks like a spider web, which then healed in an instant.
There was no sound of wind, no afterimages, only pure killing intent condensed into a single line.
When she withdrew the spear, absolute silence fell.
She stood still as before, the silver spear dissolving inch by inch into specks of starry light like scattered fireflies. And within a hundred paces falling leaves hung in mid air, not yet fallen, dust hung still without stirring, even light seemed imprisoned by some invisible force, transforming into an absolute domain.
Only when her eyelashes fluttered did this space begin to flow again. As for everything that had been frozen, it had silently turned to dust, drifting away in a rustling shower.
Gu Yuena sensed Huo Yuhao's presence. The coolness on her face quietly thawed, and she walked over with a smile. "Yuhao, are we leaving?"
"Mm." Huo Yuhao glanced at the spot where Gu Yuena had just been practicing her spear intent, then looked at the Silver Dragon Spear in her hand. "Your grasp of the conceptual realm is perfect. You've officially entered the hall."
Perhaps influenced by his words, or perhaps due to her own plans, she had put great effort into all aspects over these past two years. She had even brought out the Silver Dragon Spear to practice her spear techniques.
But then again, the luck of spear users on Douluo didn't seem to be very good, did it?
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow slightly.
Miss Auspicious Beast, Atlas Douluo, the original Tang Wulin... those who fought with spears could hardly be described as fortunate.
Had the Lancer Luck E curse from the Moon world carried over to this world?
Huo Yuhao looked Gu Yuena up and down, which made her feel a bit strange. "Yuhao, what's wrong? Is there a problem with my conceptual realm?"
"Nothing."
Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly. "President Li said he would wait for us at the station. What about you? Have you said all your goodbyes?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena naturally reached out her fair, slender hand, took Huo Yuhao's hand, and walked with him toward the entrance. "I've said goodbye to everyone as well. Over at the Mecha Designer Association, Teacher Cheng was tearful. It made me feel a little... reluctant."
As she finished speaking, Gu Yuena's gaze lowered slightly, and a complex smile appeared on her face.
Huo Yuhao gently squeezed her hand back, the slightly cool touch coming from his fingertips. "She treated you like a daughter, so of course she couldn't bear to let you go. Come back and visit often. Don't leave any regrets."
Gu Yuena turned her head and watched the soft contours of Huo Yuhao's profile outlined by the morning light. She quietly gently. "Mm. I will."
Human lifespans were very short. The future was uncertain. One must cherish the present.
