Chapter 69: Huo's Dark History

"No need, you had better take care of yourself first. In a while, the outer courtyard will hold a Core Disciple selection tournament; you should prepare for it." Su Yu stood up, walked out of the classroom door, and nodded to Ma Xiaotao, who was smiling somewhat coquettishly opposite him.

Ma Xiaotao scooped up Huo Yuhao and disappeared from Su Yu's field of vision. "Senior sister, I leave Huo Yuhao in your care for the future..."

After leaving the Martial Soul Department, Su Yu focused all his attention on studying the various Soul Guidance Device blueprints he had bought at the Treasure Appraisal Meeting. Although this shopping spree had caused Su Laoyezi to curse Su Yu as a spendthrift, Su did not take it to heart at all.

Despite the scolding, Su Laoyezi still doted on Su Yu; after all, he was the only seedling left in the family, and he couldn't let anything happen to him.

"It seems the old man still has his ways; he managed to get some, even if it's unclear how much he could obtain."

Opening the Storage Soul Guidance Device in his hand, he found boxes of various sizes stored inside. Although that Soul Emperor had specifically relayed Su Laoyezi's words when delivering them, Su Yu knew that if he didn't provide some sort of explanation when he went home for the holidays, he would probably end up angering his old man to death.

"Don't worry, you two elders, I guarantee I'll bring back a daughter-in-law you'll be satisfied with when the time comes."

Looking at the darkening sky, the corners of Su Yu's mouth curled up slightly. "A good show is about to begin in Sea God Lake; if I go late, I'll miss the performance."

In the distance, the unscrupulous Su set up an observational Soul Guidance Device. Although he couldn't hear the sound, the image was incredibly clear.

The process of suppressing the Evil Fire wasn't actually much to look at; one could imagine what happened just by thinking about it. However, Huo's Extreme Ice martial soul did have an absolute suppressive effect, as there was no pursuit by Dai Huabin this time.

In fact, Dai Huabin's pursuit was largely because he couldn't face the fact that he had lost to Huo Yuhao, but this time Dai Huabin didn't think he had lost to Huo Yuhao, because there was no Martial Soul Fusion Skill involved—it was entirely Su Yu crushing him alone.

Watching the two still entangled in the ice lake, the scene seemed sultry, but looking at Huo Yuhao's agonizing expression, Su tried his best to hold back his laughter. This scene had to be recorded; after all, this classic piece of history couldn't be allowed to vanish just because of that Ten-Turn Purification Gu.

Sea God Lake.

As the intense heat continuously invaded his body, Huo Yuhao could only grit his teeth and endure. He didn't know how long it would take for Ma Xiaotao to neutralize the agitation of her martial soul. He could only keep squeezing out every last bit of his soul power.

Huo Yuhao also tried to ask the Ice Empress and Tian Meng, but these two wise Soul Rings remained silent at this moment, as if they had fallen asleep together...

Time passed second by second, the feeling of heat grew stronger, and Huo Yuhao's own resistance became weaker and weaker. His consciousness even began to blur. It felt as if he were about to be melted at any moment.

Tian Meng and the Ice Empress completely ignored Huo Yuhao's pleas for help, and even began chatting within the Spirit Sea.

"How long do you think this kid can hold on? If we could really get Yu Hao and this woman with the Ultimate Fire to dual cultivate, I reckon it wouldn't take ten years to..." Tian Meng was still counting his chickens.

The Ice Empress said disdainfully, "If they were both extreme attributes, they would be in danger instead. Don't you understand? Extreme against extreme—if guided even slightly improperly, it would lead to a collision of the two poles. The current situation is actually quite good. The evil energy in that woman's body is being suppressed, while Yu Hao is gaining the benefits of body tempering. If they can truly fuse, then Yu Hao's strength will definitely increase significantly, and the woman's evil energy can be truly neutralized..."

Huo Yuhao's suffering continued. Because the gap in soul power between the two sides was too great, Huo was forced to suffer passively. If their soul power levels were similar, the situation would likely not have been like this.

An ice-fire collision—if an accident had really occurred, it would probably have been like the time with Xue Di, directly ending Electrolux's life...

It's a pity that even after achieving the status of a Level One God, Yi Lao was never resurrected in the end...

The remaining scenes are inconvenient for Su to describe; after all, the Harmony God who presides over life and death stands above the Heavenly Dao, and one must never offend them.

Because of the long time spent soaking in Sea God Lake, the clothes on Ma Xiaotao's body were already soaked through, and the wet dress clung tightly to Ma Xiaotao's proud figure.

It was truly because his body had been tempered by the two forces of ice and heat for a bit too long, and after suddenly seeing some "scenery" he shouldn't have, he immediately had a reaction after being stimulated...

Looking at Huo's nosebleed streaming down, Su Yu had long since been rolling on the ground laughing by the side of Sea God Lake. Although he was rolling on the ground, Su did not forget to keep recording.

Thinking of the subsequent scenes, the corners of Su's mouth began to curl up like crazy.

Stimulating, it's fucking stimulating!

After being ravaged, and then stimulated by Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yuhao was still feeling a bit floaty. In the end, Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire dissipated, but whether his own Evil Fire had dissipated was hard to say.

After a long silence, Huo Yuhao channeled the sliver of soul power he had just recovered, reached into his Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges, and took out the Whale Glue he had bought at the Treasure Appraisal Meeting to hand to Ma Xiaotao.

"Senior sister, this is Whale Glue. Can you help me soften it so I can consume it?"

Huo Yuhao knew his current physical condition; this Whale Glue was a great tonic for changing one's constitution. In his view, his body had been injured by Ma Xiaotao's torture and needed nutrition to recover, so he didn't think too much about it.

Ma Xiaotao nodded repeatedly and said, "No problem. Little Yu Hao, I was careless this time. But don't worry, from now on you are my person. In our academy, if anyone dares to bully you, just tell me. I'll help you deal with them." As she spoke, she flexed her fist, which wasn't very large but was definitely violent.

However, what Ma Xiaotao didn't know was that in the future, someone in the God Realm would not only bully him but also torture him, and even take pleasure in abusing him.

If Ma Xiaotao could really help deal with those who bullied Huo Yuhao, she would probably have to beg her own ancestor.

But it's just unclear what would happen when Ma Hongjun looked at the Sea God Trident and the Asura Blood Sword in front of him, falling into deep contemplation...

It is estimated that a new major event in the history of the God Realm would occur: a certain Second-Level God, the Phoenix God, audaciously challenged the God King Tang San of the dual God Position, and died, at the age of...

"Holy crap, the main event is here: Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue!"

Watching Ma Xiaotao begin to melt this piece of Whale Glue, an excited look also appeared on Huo Yuhao's face.

This was something Brother Tian Meng had specifically asked for. Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue could significantly improve his physical fitness, and in the future, it could raise the limit of the age of the Soul Rings he could absorb, which would provide one more guarantee for his hope of revenge.

As he ate it mouthful by mouthful, a thick, hot current began to flow through his limbs and bones.

However, Huo did not know that the real good show had only just begun.

Huo Yuhao's state was also becoming increasingly wrong. His body gradually began to turn red, and even his sweat was a faint reddish-brown, soon staining his brand-new yellow school uniform a dark red.

Some things are inherently aphrodisiacs and tonics; it's fine to eat a little, but once you eat too much, the Yang Energy is too heavy, and it's no different from a potent aphrodisiac.

However, Huo Yuhao eating such a large piece of Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue in one go naturally had great benefits for his body.

But the side effects of excessive Yang Energy also began to appear gradually.

Although the clothes were washed clean, that unprecedented palpitation in his heart still remained.

Little did they know, the unscrupulous trio at this moment had already laughed their heads off. Su Yu, several kilometers away, and the Ice Empress and Tian Meng in his Spirit Sea—if these three guys hadn't been separated, they could probably have chatted about this for a whole day.

"I never thought the first man to be intimate with me would be such a little guy. Hmph. Now, I don't owe him anything anymore. No, I can't stay here. Otherwise, how can I face him! This is the academy shore, so there shouldn't be any danger."

Thinking this, Ma Xiaotao stood up and was about to leave, but felt a bit unwilling. She broke off a tree branch from the side and wrote a few words next to Huo Yuhao with a "swish, swish, swish."

Then she kicked him in the butt. Only then did she resentfully leap into the air and head straight for Sea God Island.

In Su Yu's words, this is called the first step to growing up.

In Tian Meng's words, this is called the troubles of growing up.

In the Ice Empress's words, it is called the inevitable path of growth...

Life is always full of surprises and accidents, but life is also always unavoidably full of too many troubles, sigh...

Looking at the spherical Soul Guidance Device in his hand that recorded the complete footage, Su Yu left Sea God Lake with a maniacal smile.

I believe this will become Huo's greatest dark history, and even a shadow that can never be erased for the rest of his life...

Returning to the dormitory, the sky had completely darkened, and he returned to the dormitory with some food he had picked up.

"Where have you been? I haven't seen you all afternoon," Wang Dong said with a hint of reproach.

Su Yu reined in his smile and said, "I don't know what it is lately, but I've had some insights, so I've been cultivating by the Sea God Lake. I reckon I'll be able to break through to level twenty-nine in a while."

It was a serious explanation with a flawless expression, and everything seemed to make sense, but for some reason, Wang Dong always felt that something was off, though he couldn't say where the problem lay.

The only thing Wang Dong found unusual was that although Su Yu seemed calm, he always felt that Su Yu was excited today, perhaps even happy?

This sixth sense was truly strange, but Wang Dong didn't dare to trust whether his judgment was right or wrong; after all, back in the first year, he and Su Yu had had more than their fair share of misunderstandings.

Regarding this, Wang Dong didn't dare to keep questioning him, as his intuition was sometimes accurate and sometimes not.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night...

Su Yu sat at his desk, meticulously carving the Soul Guidance Thruster in his hands. He actually missed the time when Xuan Ziwen would answer any question he had; there were some things he didn't dare to let Fan Yu help him analyze, as an outsider was, after all, an outsider.

As for Xuan Ziwen, when the time was right, he would naturally become one of his own.

Just like that, he didn't sleep all night.

Waking up in the early morning, Su Yu had already finished cultivating the Purple Demon Eye and returned to his desk to continue carving the Soul Guidance Device in his hands.

If it weren't for the fact that the Soul Guidance Device given by Ju Zi couldn't be used at the academy, why would Su Yu have to spend so much effort building a flying device and Soul Guidance Protection Armor for himself?

"I wonder how Sword Immortal Ji Juechen is doing lately. I hope the Soul Guidance Device I had Ju Zi make for him is still intact..."

Sun Moon Empire, Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, testing grounds.

"Xuan Ziwen, you may go all out. Today, I want to decide the winner between you and me!"

The vast testing ground was already pitted and scarred from the two of them fighting; their battle had clearly reached its final stage, but because of the heavy fire suppression from the rays, Ji Juechen was completely unable to get close to Xuan Ziwen.

However, Xuan Ziwen noticed one thing: it seemed that the strange-looking Flying Soul Guidance Device on Ji Juechen's back could rapidly close the distance in a short time, but because the Soul Guidance Device was of a low level, it broke down due to high-intensity operation and after taking a Soul Guidance Ray from Xuan Ziwen before reaching the final stage.

By this final stage, Ji Juechen's soul power was already running low, and although Xuan Ziwen was in better condition than Ji Juechen, he was not much better off by comparison.

"Break!"

A sword descended, without any flair, and no Soul Ring lit up on his body, but it seemed as if he had already merged into one with the Heavenly Meteor Iron Sword in his hand.

Sword energy spans thirty thousand miles, one sword chills nineteen provinces!

His Sword Intent was no longer the sharpness of the Sword Dao, but the forward-moving, invincible nature of the Sword Dao!

In his eyes, even if Xuan Ziwen's soul power was above his, and even if Xuan Ziwen was now an Eight-level Soul Engineer, he still dared to draw his sword and fight.

If a sword is not drawn, it must hide its edge in the scabbard.

If a sword is drawn, it must stir up the wind and clouds!

This sword strike broke through all of Xuan Ziwen's Soul Guidance Rays, directly ignoring Xuan Ziwen's powerful long-range attacks; the distance of dozens of meters felt like only a single step in Ji Juechen's eyes.

"One Sword Breaks Wind and Clouds!"

The Sword Intent shifted again in an instant, its powerful momentum forcing Xuan Ziwen to retreat step by step.

Xuan Ziwen had lost, both in terms of momentum and will; he had lost completely.

The Heavenly Meteor Iron Sword descended once more, hacking Xuan Ziwen's Protective Barrier into scrap metal, but just as he approached Xuan Ziwen and broke through Xuan Ziwen's final defense.
