"Bing'er, I understand your thoughts."
The Snow Empress said softly, "It's just that I'm not willing to gamble everything on others. Re-cultivating in human form was my choice back then, and even if I suffer a setback, it won't change my mind."
Hyotei wanted to say something more, but knowing that once Yuki-tei made a decision, she wouldn't easily change it, Hyotei ultimately remained silent. However, her tightly clenched fists betrayed the turmoil in her heart.
When your closest loved ones choose a risky path, how many of them can face it calmly?
In the end, the Ice Emperor returned to Huo Yuhao's body, while Electrolux and the Ice Bear King Xiaobai remained in the undead demiplane, slowly repairing the broken laws within the Snow Emperor's body.
Huo Yuhao, too, couldn't stay idle; he still had to work hard on the Thousand-Refined Meteorite Sword he had promised Ji Juechen.
In addition, there are the gains from the previous retreat. Although I have not yet fully grasped the so-called meaning, I have found the direction and can begin to verify the insights gained during the retreat.
uh-huh?
Gazing at the extraterrestrial meteorite iron that emitted a beam of light ten feet high in his hand, Huo Yuhao looked at the forging hammer in his hand with some confusion.
How did you succeed on the first try?
Unconvinced, Huo Yuhao took out another piece of rare ice-attribute metal to try. After hundreds of hammer blows, the metal became dull and lifeless.
Huo Yuhao nodded in satisfaction.
I was so scared! It turns out I just got lucky and succeeded on my first try. I thought I had suddenly become enlightened without even realizing it.
After all, this isn't a game; it would be problematic if there were such a sudden and significant improvement.
Now that the method for forging a thousand swords to the highest grade had been devised, Huo Yuhao simply worked overtime and finished Ji Juechen's sword in one night.
A large piece of sword is more troublesome than a small piece of metal, and it is also much more difficult to capture the internal details through mental detection than a small piece of metal. After hammering and banging, by the time Huo Yuhao finished everything and lay down on the bed to rest, it was already dawn.
"You've finally broken through again?"
Huo Yuhao yawned, sprang up from the bed, and went to the bedside to prepare to cultivate the Purple Demon Eye.
Of the four members of the Tang Clan, Wang Dong is the least concerned about the sect. Not only has he made no contribution to the sect, but Huo Yuhao has also never seen Wang Dong practice the Tang Clan's secret techniques more than a few times.
Ironically, this very person, after a period of seclusion, suddenly decided that his future lay with the Tang Sect…
Huo Yuhao shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore.
While Huo Yuhao was busy with his daily morning training and meals, the Control System was in an uproar.
"Look, that black greatsword that Sword Maniac always carries is gone."
"Really? Could the sword have broken? That shouldn't be the case. Even ordinary Soul Saints can't destroy extraterrestrial meteorite iron. That Sword Maniac shouldn't have encountered such an opponent."
Ignoring the gossip around him, Ji Juechen walked through the crowd with his arms crossed, his face expressionless.
"Ji Juechen, are you alright?"
Jing Ziyan looked at Ji Juechen with some concern.
Although he knew that Ji Juechen's sword was most likely with Huo Yuhao, Ji Juechen's expression was even colder than before, and he seemed to be in a very bad mood.
"Brother Ji!"
Ji Juechen turned his head in surprise to look at the entrance to the audience seats, where Huo Yuhao was panting and leaning against the door frame.
"It's done so quickly?"
Ji Juechen hurriedly ran towards the entrance, while Jing Ziyan sighed and followed him.
"Brother Ji, the matter is settled."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao tossed Ji Juechen a storage ring.
"I have to rush to Mingde Hall, so I'll have to talk to you later."
After saying that, Huo Yuhao ran away without looking back.
Ji Juechen quickly took out the extraterrestrial meteorite iron sword from inside.
After being forged a thousand times, the meteorite iron sword was no longer as dark as before, but instead had a faint silvery-white luster. Moreover, Huo Yuhao had casually shaped the sword while forging it.
Although the peculiar structure of the hilt has not been changed, the whole sword looks more like a sword than a fire poker, and the edge of the blade even flashes with white light, making it look very dangerous.
The moment Ji Juechen gripped the hilt, he fell deeply in love with the sword.
"What just happened?"
"It looks like that guy? What was the name of that Shrek Academy exchange student again? The one from the last competition, he just came over and gave Ji Juechen a storage ring, and it seems like there's a new sword inside."
"Hiss~ What's the meaning behind Huo Yuhao giving Ji Juechen the sword? Could it be that the two have developed a mutual respect after their last encounter?"
"Judging from Ji Juechen's expression, he seems quite satisfied with this sword. How could that be? You must know that back then, an eighth-level soul master recognized Ji Juechen's strength and intended to give him an eighth-level melee soul tool that he had personally forged. Ji Juechen refused it without even glancing at it, which infuriated that master..."
"Do you think... it's possible that the two of them...?"
"You wouldn't be talking about...?"
"Ahem, just as you expected..."
"What are you all yelling about?"
Seeing that the topic was getting increasingly strange, Jing Ziyan quickly spoke up to stop it, lest Ji Juechen's reputation be damaged.
Although it wasn't good before, at least it didn't have much negative reputation.
"Ahem... Sister Ziyan, we were just joking, just a joke..."
Seeing Jing Ziyan's increasingly grim expression, the onlookers quickly made their escape.
With a cold snort, Jing Ziyan returned to Ji Juechen's side and together they examined the sword that had been enhanced by Huo Yuhao.
"That's strange. Why did he shape the blade but not the hilt as well?"
Ji Juechen was silent for a moment, then said, "I forgot to mention..."
The sharpening of the blade does not affect its use, so Huo Yuhao did it while forging it last night. As for the handle... Huo Yuhao was not sure what kind Ji Juechen liked, so he left it for later.
-
After leaving the restroom, Huo Yuhao, under Lin Jiayi's stern gaze, circled around Mingde Hall for a long time before returning to his experimental table.
"There's nothing interesting about the technology at Mingde Hall..."
Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly. Why are all the soul masters in Mingde Hall researching those humanoid soul tools lately? Aren't they tired of it? It's making it so that Huo Yuhao can't even get a few new soul tool blueprints.
Looking left and right, occasionally helping Xuan Ziwen with small parts, the time quickly passed and evening arrived.
When Nana arrived at the dormitory entrance again, she was already waiting at the corner at the end of the corridor.
"Lead the way, let's finish quickly so we can call it a day. I need to sleep."
Nana hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Should we call a few more people?"
Nana never expected that Huo Yuhao would go to the Holy Spirit Cult branch alone. When Huo Yuhao mentioned Shrek Academy, she thought he was going to call for reinforcements...
"Although the elder has left on business, the Great Holy Spirit and the Second Holy Spirit are still here."
"If you had seen my memories, you would know that the Great Saint and the Second Saint are at least Soul Emperor level fighters, and there is no way the two of us can defeat them."
Huo Yuhao confidently declared, "So what if he's a Soul Emperor? What's there to be afraid of? Even a Soul Saint would be no match for me!"
If all else fails, he can always call for reinforcements. A ferocious beast lives in the undead demiplane, and even a titled Douluo might not be able to keep Huo Yuhao alive in his current state!
