Chapter 163

In the kitchen, Gu Rachel wore a blue apron, humming a favorite song while simmering fish soup.

This was the opportunity she got from her py transaction with Huo Yuhao; tonight the kitchen belonged to her.

After all, things had been played a bit too far today; the Master was very angry, and she had to become the "god" who grasped the kitchen in order to calm the Master down.

Gu Yue Na sat on the sofa, looking toward the kitchen, somewhat entangled.

She wanted to teach Gu Rachel a harsh lesson, but the other party always managed to stop at just the right degree, leaving her somewhat helpless.

After thinking for a while, Gu Yue Na, smelling the fish soup fragrance, still withdrew her gaze.

Forget it; she hadn't tasted Gu Rachel's cooking in a long time either.

"Yuhao, what is your assessment content?" Gu Yue Na looked at Huo Yuhao beside her.

Huo Yuhao's expression was complex: "At first it was a checkpoint challenge, simulating the Star Dou Great Forest... the last part was fighting a past Tower Master."

Seeing his expression was a bit strange, Gu Yue Na asked curiously: "Does that Tower Master have some special ability?"

"Not exactly; it's just that she was showing off affection with her soul spirit during the fight."

Huo Yuhao found it hard to put into words.

After the Soul Fusion Skill possessors "gazed deeply at each other" in battle, an even more wondrous phenomenon appeared. He just felt the battle's art style was all wrong.

"..."

Gu Yue Na blinked, gave a light cough, and changed the subject: "Yuhao, Xiao Yan and the others are coming over too, right?"

"Mm, just about; the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy side is also starting recruitment, so Xiao Yan and them should be coming over."

Huo Yuhao pushed the cut fruit in front of her, "The housing issue has also been arranged on the Headquarters side."

"You're moving out?"

Gu Rachel poked her head out from the kitchen, shouting excitedly:

"Wonderful! I raise both hands in suppo—"

Halfway through, she seemed to sense an inexplicable chill, and her voice cut off abruptly.

Gu Yue Na glared at her "sister," then looked at Huo Yuhao, voice very soft: "Yuhao, are you really moving out?"

Huo Yuhao stared at Gu Yue Na's slightly tensed profile, then suddenly chuckled softly:

"When did I say I was moving? Just arranging it for them. Unless... a certain someone doesn't welcome me continuing to live here?"

Gu Yue Na's ear tips reddened slightly; she turned her face away: "Up to you."

Seeing her reaction different from usual, Huo Yuhao chuckled and withdrew his gaze, opening the Soul Guidance Light Screen to search for various research projects via the Internal Network.

He had already joined the Headquarters' Soul Master Research Institute, and because of his sub-occupation rank and the Mingde Hall invitation, the moment he joined the Headquarters Soul Master Research Institute he obtained an initial status on equal footing with Ling Zichen.

More critically, as a Candidate Spirit Envoy heavily nurtured by the Spirit Pagoda, this identity granted him special status; combined, it was higher than Ling Zichen's. If research needed personnel, he could conduct work scheduling and task assignment for her.

In other words, in a certain sense, Ling Zichen was indeed his subordinate now.

Although Huo Yuhao wouldn't go so far as to make things difficult for her, since she was a Soul Guide prodigy, naturally he had to make the best use of her talents.

His own research also needed people; right now the only research personnel he knew at Headquarters was Ling Zichen, so he couldn't be blamed — she walked right into it herself.

After sending Ling Zichen several research tasks on the Soul Guidance Light Screen, Huo Yuhao paused on one Junior name after another at Headquarters, finally landing on another somewhat familiar name, assigning it under his own banner, then looked at Gu Yue Na: "Sister Na, you've also been transferred under me by me; is that okay?"

Gu Yue Na blanked for a moment, then nodded slightly, smiling: "Of course it's okay."

On the other side, opening the Soul Guidance Light Screen and seeing her tasks increased by a batch, Ling Zichen couldn't stay calm.

As Leng Yaozhu's disciple, Gu Yue Na could refuse this personnel transfer — Leng Yaozhu just had to speak — but Ling Zichen couldn't.

Because behind her there was no one of higher status to speak up; "Next Tower Master" — Huo Yuhao's very first transfer order after just becoming a Candidate Spirit Envoy... she had to give some face.

"Huo Yuhao you permission dog, I'm at odds with you!"

In the silent deep night, Ling Zichen's roar rang like a thunderclap, shaking the laboratory's glass windows into a buzzing tremble.

When Huo Yuhao became a Candidate Spirit Envoy, in the Tian Dou City Spirit Pagoda Branch, Tang Wulin was preparing to break through the second layer seal.

Tang Wulin kind of wanted to complain about the seal's creator.

According to "Lao Tang," breaking through the second layer seal before fifteen years old was fine; he broke through the first layer seal around ten years old, a full five years of preparation time.

However, no matter how early he broke through, once the second layer seal was broken, he would only have three years until the next seal breakthrough.

That is to say, breaking through early had no benefit at all!

Very strange; by convention, shouldn't the buffer time gained after breaking through early be longer?

Besides the time issue, there was another complaint point.

If his physical strength rose to a certain degree, the seal would autonomously become slack until it could no longer suppress.

The current situation was exactly this.

These two years, Teacher Xiong Jun and everyone at the Spirit Pagoda fed him too well... he really couldn't suppress it anymore!

For this breakthrough, he didn't even need the Heavenly Treasures specified by Lao Tang, because his body could completely withstand that power!

Entering the Sealed Space, Tang Wulin called out softly:

"Lao Tang, I'm ready."

In the corner, a blurry figure gradually coalesced into shape.

When Tang San's Divine Sense emerged, his eyes were somewhat dull, planning to listen as usual to Tang Wulin's admonitions about the "Golden Dragon King."

But seeing Tang Wulin's strange gaze, he thought carefully and only then realized today Wulin had come to break through the seal!

"Good, good, Wulin, you've moved another step away from danger."

Tang San's Divine Sense nearly wept with joy.

Do you know how he got through these two years?

Every night he had to endure Tang Wulin lecturing for half an hour on the "First Generation Tower Master's Admonitions"; those words ground away his Divine Sense power bit by bit like a dull knife. By now he didn't know how much memory he had lost.

Sometimes he would even fall into a trance, feeling he really was that "Lao Tang" who had accepted the First Generation Tower Master's admonitions...

Tang San's Divine Sense shuddered with a cold chill.

What First Generation Tower Master's teachings? That's the enemy's brainwashing!

Brainwashing Wu Lin wasn't enough for the other party; now they've even extended their demonic claws toward this wisp of his Divine Sense!

Tang San's Divine Sense, with a heavy mood, began guiding Tang Wulin to break through the seal, watching him sit cross-legged in the center of the Sealed Space, his brow furrowing deeply.

"If not for the Spirit Pagoda's influence, how could Wu Lin have become such a nondescript mess? Huo Yuhao truly courts death……"

Tang San's Divine Sense train of thought paused.

Come to think of it, what is 'courting death'? What is the Definition of 'courting death'?

It should be related to the past life, the Tang Sect…… Xuan Tian Treasure Record…… First Generation Tower Master's admonishment.

Amidst the recollection, Tang San's Divine Sense once again thought of that book title which made him irritable and distracted, his complexion turning gloomy.

No, regarding the past life, the memories defining his True Nature have already disappeared too much; if this continues he'll truly become 'Amnesiac', his personality might even change drastically, influenced by the so-called 'First Generation Tower Master's admonishment'.

But Wu Lin has been Targeted by the Spirit Pagoda and those Fierce Beasts; this wisp of Divine Sense attached to Tang Wulin's body really can't act freely……

Body God, home in danger, return quickly ah!
