"Third place on the talent ranking: Zhang Lexuan. Age: *****. Martial Soul: Moon. Soul power rank: Level eighty-two."
"Reward: All current soul rings' cultivation increased by one hundred thousand years. Moon Yin affinity: ninety-nine percent."
"Good heavens, this girl is already level eighty-two! And all soul rings increased by one hundred thousand years? Does that mean she has eight one-hundred-thousand-year soul rings? Is this… is this even human?"
"Haha, I must be dreaming. This is impossible! There's no way someone this freakish exists in the world."
When the reward for third place was revealed, countless people were stunned, their emotions a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
"Sigh, I'm so envious. If only I had a few more soul rings," Tang Ya sighed.
Huo Yuhao glanced at her and unceremoniously retorted, "Come on, you better be careful you don't get captured and have your soul bones harvested. After all, you have four hundred-thousand-year soul rings."
Tang Ya's expression stiffened upon hearing this. Right, she'd been too excited earlier. Improving soul ring years was good, but would she even dare to use them in battle in the future? She was different from Zhang Lexuan. Zhang Lexuan had the Sea God Pavilion backing her, but Tang Ya was a lone wolf, with no background or support. She was truly on her own.
Seeing that the girl had finally calmed down, Huo Yuhao didn't continue to tease her. Instead, he began to look at the God Rankings with interest. Zhang Lexuan? Interesting. This woman was a famous figure in Shrek Academy. Zhang Lexuan had led a team to participate in the Soul Master Tournament and easily won the championship with her powerful strength, like an insurmountable mountain, crushing other academies.
Currently, Zhang Lexuan was also the chief of Shrek Academy's Inner Court. It was said that her eighth soul ring was a hundred thousand years old, and she was the youngest member of the Sea God Pavilion. Due to her excellent talent, she was selected as the Sea God Pavilion's successor for the next generation.
Shrek Academy, on Sea God Island in the center of the Inner Court's Sea God Lake, was the living area for the Inner Court disciples. Under the Golden Ancient Tree, a mature and intellectual woman was sitting gracefully on the ground. This woman was about twenty years old, with long, black hair cascading to her waist. Her delicate face was fair and flawless, and her serene and gentle temperament was unforgettable at first sight.
She was the Inner Court's chief, Zhang Lexuan, revered by all Inner Court disciples as Senior Sister.
Zhang Lexuan was currently receiving a divine reward. Eight blood-red soul rings were quietly floating around her body, behind her was a crescent Moon, emitting a soft, silvery-white glow. The blue light illuminated everything around, making Zhang Lexuan's skin appear even more crystal-clear and fair under the moonlight.
There were no other Inner Court disciples around because behind Zhang Lexuan was the Golden Ancient Tree, where the Sea God Pavilion was located. So far, only Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao were able to get close to the Sea God Pavilion. The former was already a member of the Sea God Pavilion, and the latter was the direct disciple of Dean Yan Shaozhe; connections existed everywhere.
In the Sea God Pavilion's meeting hall, ten old figures of varying forms were gathered. They included Headmaster Mu En, the Godly Taotie Bull Xuanzi, Old Man Song of the Azure Shadow Eagle, Old Man Lin of the Wind and Fire God Bow, Old Man Zhuang of the Tree of Life, Old Man Gong of the Crimson Flame War Dragon, and the four deans: Yan Shaozhe, Cai Meier, Xian Liner, and Qian Duoduo.
At this moment, every one of them was focused on Zhang Lexuan outside, but compared to the students, their expressions were noticeably calmer. Having lived long lives, they could naturally think of what Huo Yuhao and Ning Zhiyuan had.
"Ranked second on the talent list: Huo Yuhao, age twelve, Martial Souls: Spiritual Eyes, Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, soul power rank, forty-one."
"Reward: Repair the Martial Soul's deficiencies. Comprehension: Great Dream of a Thousand Years."
It's that kid. The Godly Taotie Douluo Xuanzi's eyes narrowed slightly. He remembered that kid. His strength was freakish, and what was most terrifying was his extraordinary mind, which wasn't something a child of that age should possess. It was as if he could see through the essence of all things.
If it weren't for the old monster of poison, I would have killed you on the spot in Star Luo City that day. How could you be so arrogant today?
A glint of coldness flashed in Xuanzi's eyes. In his view, anyone unfriendly to Shrek Academy could be killed.
The other elders were also thoughtful. Huo Yuhao had been in the spotlight recently due to the Soul Master Tournament, and he was also the successor of the Body Sect, so of course, they would know something about him.
In Sunset Forest, Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly. Again, repairing the Martial Soul's deficiencies, just like Lan Shuang. It seems the Body Sect's method of secondary Martial Soul awakening really has some drawbacks. However, what did "Great Dream of a Thousand Years" mean? Could it be that he had to sleep for a thousand years? What kind of reward was that?
Before he could think more, divine light had already descended into Huo Yuhao's body. At the moment the divine light entered him, Huo Yuhao's gaze became vacant, his expression wooden, like a walking corpse.
"Where is this?" Huo Yuhao surveyed his surroundings. Blue sky, white clouds, green mountains, clear water, and a babbling, crystal-clear stream.
Huo Yuhao didn't understand why he had suddenly appeared here. He remembered that just a moment ago, he was in the Sunset Forest receiving the rewards from the God Ranking. How could he have appeared here in the blink of an eye? And where was Tang Ya? Could this be a dream? Thinking of the reward he had received, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but suspect that he had fallen into some kind of dream illusion.
"Welcome to this space. Those on the God Ranking, please pay attention. In this space, you can comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, practice self-created soul skills, etc., but you cannot improve your cultivation or soul power. Also, be informed that this space will automatically dissolve in ten years. At that time, those on the God Ranking may leave. During this period, time outside is temporarily frozen."
A vast divine sound echoed from the heavens and earth.
This was the voice of the God Ranking. Huo Yuhao's expression tightened. He recognized that the voice was identical to the one from the God Ranking.
Recalling the God Ranking's previous prompt, Huo Yuhao understood the meaning of the reward. Huo Yuhao guessed that his consciousness had been pulled into a unique space. Here, he couldn't improve his cultivation, but he could practice self-created soul skills. In short, when Huo Yuhao left this space, it would be as if he was taking ten years of cultivation insights with him. At that time, although his cultivation wouldn't increase at all, his control and application of power would certainly be beyond what it was now. Moreover, Huo Yuhao could also take this time to study self-created soul skills, make up for his shortcomings, and perfect his existing skills.
Interesting. Huo Yuhao smiled slightly. He found that the God Ranking's rewards were very humanized. The rewards given were what those on the list needed most, such as Ye Guyi's Six-Winged Angel, Ning Tian's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and Xu Sanshi's Black Tortoise Martial Soul.
Of course, that didn't include the Sunflower Manual. Huo Yuhao felt that the Sunflower Manual was just a typical case of making people feel disgusted, probably the God Ranking's idea of a joke.
What did he need most? If Huo Yuhao had to choose, it would definitely be comprehension: comprehension of soul skills, and comprehension of the power of space.
As for soul ring skills and the like, Huo Yuhao didn't care. He absorbed soul rings only to break through his cultivation. He didn't pay much attention to the soul skills brought by the soul rings.
Trying to circulate his soul power, Huo Yuhao found that it was no different from the outside world. Then let me see what's different here. Huo Yuhao summoned the Evil God Sword and transformed into a streak of sword light, soaring into the sky and flying towards the distance.
After several hours, Huo Yuhao stopped. He was surprised to find that he had been flying for so long, yet his soul power hadn't been consumed in the slightest, which was truly amazing.
After several hours of exploration, Huo Yuhao also discovered that besides flowers, plants, and trees, there were no other living creatures in this space.
