Chapter 81: Can't Repay It

Huo Yuhao looked at the scale in his hand, falling silent for a moment.

The Silver Dragon King's Reverse Scale, a divine artifact, contained the Silver Dragon King's Power of Creation.

Its function was that when the holder encountered danger, Gu Yue Na could perceive it and arrive beside the other party through this object; in terms of function it matched Star's Favor quite well, truly counting as reciprocity...

"Come to think of it, the person who would originally have given me the Reverse Scale was Di Tian, right?"

Huo Yuhao's train of thought veered for an instant; he secretly shook his head to shake off the distracting thoughts, raised his head and looked toward Gu Yue Na's direction, only to discover she had already begun fiddling with Star's Favor with great interest, not paying attention to this side.

Looking at this state, it would be hard to return it.

Huo Yuhao's expression was complex; he put away the Reverse Scale.

He wanted to be quiet; don't ask him who Jingjing is.

"Hm?"

Just as he was about to put away the Reverse Scale, Huo Yuhao suddenly discovered that his body's Bloodline Vortex had produced some fluctuations because of the Reverse Scale; merely the aura emanating from the Reverse Scale caused the Silver Dragon King Bloodline within it to have a boiling sensation.

Obviously, the Reverse Scale containing the Power of Creation had considerable benefits for the growth of the Bloodline Vortex.

Huo Yuhao's brows twitched slightly; he did not conduct research, directly collecting the Reverse Scale into the Eye of Life.

Whether to use it he still hesitated somewhat, but something Gu Yue Na sincerely gave still had to be kept well.

In the Spiritual Sea, looking at the new divine artifact that had replaced Star's Favor's position, the boy Tianmeng had transformed into twitched the corner of his mouth.

"It's over; I can't repay this."

The Dragon Clan's Reverse Scale... Gu Yue Na gave this thing to Yuhao; Star's Favor was equivalent to a free gift.

"Tianmeng, you say, could it be that she is playing dumb while being wise?" Ice Empress stroked her chin, expression somewhat grave, "How come every time she can just happen to hit a suitable point?"

Outsiders don't know; they have been together with Huo Yuhao all along, so naturally they know of his several attitude changes toward Gu Yue Na, which can be seen from his actions.

Gu Yue Na giving Huo Yuhao cover, concealing the Ice Emperor Martial Soul was the first time; Huo Yuhao letting her call him Yuhao, treating her as an ordinary friend who needed vigilance.

Gu Yue Na sincerely learning Forging, asking Huo Yuhao whether he was satisfied with the Spirit Pagoda was the second time.

When Gu Yue Na was questioned in return, and answered that she did not dislike this era, Huo Yuhao had already converted Gu Yue Na from an object needing vigilance into a like-minded person; the thought of protecting her before him also disappeared, at most just complaining in his heart.

Afterward, Huo Yuhao's attitude toward Gu Yue Na was that of a decent friend; in Ice Empress's view, Yuhao sometimes even doted on her quite a bit.

Yesterday Gu Yue Na coming because she worried about Huo Yuhao's safety was the third time.

What the original intention was, with Huo Yuhao's personality he wouldn't view it that heavily; the important thing was that Gu Yue Na came when he might encounter danger. A person willing to share adversity is rare and precious; in Huo Yuhao's heart, Gu Yue Na's status naturally rose.

Afterward when Huo Yuhao asked Gu Yue Na why she came, Ice Empress knew, Gu Yue Na's feeling was not wrong; Huo Yuhao was truly angry — angry at himself.

And today, Ice Empress believed it might become the fourth time.

That was the Dragon Clan's Reverse Scale; the meaning it symbolized was not ordinary.

"I feel she is a natural counter to scheming."

Tianmeng, hearing this, recalled a term he recently learned online, and retorted.

A moment later, the Class Zero crowd also arrived at the Training Ground; Huo Yuhao walked up to Wang Jin Xi and handed him a Soul Tool.

"This is a Bloodline Suppressor; it can suppress bloodline elevation. Before you consider clearly your future path, you can wear it to avoid the influence of Wu Lin's bloodline aura on you."

This was a Soul Tool he manufactured through the Blood Origin Pivot Crystal; the design blueprint was pioneered and developed by a certain researcher of the Spirit Pagoda.

"Thank you." Wang Jin Xi revealed a smile, nodding at Huo Yuhao.

He did not want to give up the Soul Fusion Skill with Yangzi; that was the symbol of their friendship.

"Yuhao, thank you! Wu Lin, thank you!" Zhang Yangzi also thanked Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin beside him.

Tang Wulin hurriedly waved his hand, "It's Yuhao's credit."

"Without the bloodline you provided, I couldn't have manufactured this Soul Tool." Huo Yuhao shook his head, then asked: "Wu Lin, how is Jin Yu?"

Tang Wulin smiled: "Following your proposal, I made a trip to the Spirit Ascension Platform; it has already recovered."

These few boys were communicating here; on the other side Xu Xiaoyan sought out Gu Yue Na, looking at the bracelet she was fiddling with, somewhat curious.

Now Star's Favor had already lost the stars' radiance under Gu Yue Na's control, looking merely like a pretty ornament, but Xu Xiaoyan still perceived an aura close to herself.

"Sister Na, this is?"

"Yuhao gave it to me." Gu Yue Na's eyes were gentle like water, carrying a smile.

Xu Xiaoyan stared wide-eyed, her eyes brightening, and said in a low voice: "Tell me in detail?"

"Cough cough." A light cough sounded; Luo Yulu and Wu Zhangkong walked in, letting Xu Xiaoyan's desire to hear gossip fall through.

"It's already the end of the term; in three more days, it will be the time the Spirit Ascension Platform Riot opens; that is also your final exam; everyone must work hard."

Luo Yulu swept his gaze around the crowd, "The Spirit Ascension Platform's riot phenomenon initially originated from internal energy instability. With technological progress, the riot period has become controllable."

"During the riot period, the Soul Beasts inside the Spirit Ascension Platform become more active, increase in number, and danger rises. Each riot period, the Eighteen Heavenly Pillars each have three hundred entry quotas. This time, you can obtain five of those three hundred quotas."

"Five?" Xie Xie was somewhat confused.

"Correct, only five; the people entering do not include Yuhao and Gu Yue Na."

Luo Yulu looked at Xie Xie, revealing a trace of a cold smile, making the latter shiver all over, "Student Xie Xie, you previously wanted to complete the Virtual Battlefield assessment by teaming up with Yuhao, right?"

"Uh, but last time Yuhao Old Big didn't agree either."

Xie Xie's face reddened; he laughed awkwardly.

After learning there was a team option, he indeed had the thought of teaming up with Huo Yuhao to clear it, being a carried win... but after knowing the team mode had a Contribution Value Algorithm he gave up.

"Having that kind of thought shouldn't happen." Wu Zhangkong said indifferently from the side: "This time, I won't give you that kind of opportunity."

The Spirit Ascension Platform Riot assessment was proposed by him; Gu Yue Na, Huo Yuhao and the others had a tier-level gap; they couldn't be allowed to rely too much on the two, forming a habit would be bad.

"Confident? The Spirit Ascension Platform Riot's restriction is level 39; that is to say, you might encounter opponents at the Soul Elder peak." Luo Yulu asked.

The five people looked at each other, revealing smiles.

"Yes!"

Three months passed; now Xu Xiaoyan is level 22; Xie Xie, Wang Jin Xi, Zhang Yangzi level 23; Tang Wulin level 16.

Just three months, and everyone raised about two ranks; before entering Class Zero, they wouldn't have dared even think of it.

This was without having taken some Elixirs; otherwise it would have been even more.

As for actual combat experience, with Wu Zhangkong's instruction and having fought the Virtual Battlefield's stat monsters for several months, they still had confidence in themselves.

Leaving aside monsters like Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na, the others — even a Soul Elder — they could still fight if they cooperated.
