Upon receiving the Blue Silver Emperor's conclusion, Huo Yuhao nodded.
After several months of research, the method for cultivating the Blue Silver King had been mostly deduced by Huo Yuhao and the Blue Silver Emperor; only practice remained.
The specific implementation steps involved letting the Blue Silver Emperor separate seeds for cultivation, followed by grafting them with the Dark Blue Silver Grass—which possessed the devouring talent—previously cultured using Tang Ya's blood and soul power.
Afterward, they would use life force for irrigation and nurturing to awaken both the orthodox Blue Silver royal bloodline within Tang Ya's grass and the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within the seeds.
The two would merge, thereby promoting it to a Blue Silver King.
Of course, the nurturing process was left entirely to the Blue Silver Emperor; Huo Yuhao only needed to wait for the results.
His gaze shifted toward Tang Ya, who had inexplicably started acting "emo" again, and Jiang Nannan, who was currently comforting her. Just as he was about to speak, Huo Yuhao paused slightly. With a strange expression, he looked up toward the distance.
His vision pierced through the periphery of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, passed through the Jade Phosphor Poison Array, and finally, spotted a sneaky Tang San outside the array...
...
At this moment, Tang San's expression was somewhat somber as he looked at the poisonous barrier before him, his face filled with extreme conflict.
Since completing his God Trial a month ago, Tang San had rushed to the Sunset Forest without pause, attempting to enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to obtain a 10,000-year soul ring.
During this journey, Tang San had also experimented with his evolved Blue Silver King martial soul, only to discover to his shock that it now possessed the ability to devour life force!
Along the way, he had killed many soul beasts to test it, finding that the devoured life force could be used not only to increase soul power but also to strengthen his physique!
He had a premonition that as long as he absorbed a soul ring, his soul power would surely leap to Rank 14 or even higher!
What? You say devouring life force is the conduct of an evil soul master, and that he is wrong to do so?
Heh!
Who is he!
He is Tang San! He is the Sea God! The Asura God! The Enforcer of the God Realm!
How could this be called the conduct of an evil soul master? He, Tang San, is pure and noble; how could he be lumped together with evil soul masters?
The soul beasts he killed were merely "evil" soul beasts. To become a part of his cultivation—that is their honor! They should be profoundly grateful!
Over the past month, while killing soul beasts to devour their life force, Tang San had made his way toward the Sunset Forest, intending to reach the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
However, the reality was that he was blocked—blocked by the very poison array he himself had set up!
Clearly, the array before him was one he had laid down ten thousand years ago to prevent "small-time thieves" from coming to the treasure land of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and stealing his immortal herbs.
He never expected it would end up blocking his future self ten thousand years later!
This feeling was truly hard to describe. Unconsciously, he even felt a flicker of resentment toward his self from ten thousand years ago...
Standing outside the poisonous barrier, Tang San hesitated for a moment before resolutely turning and leaving.
He truly had no way around it; with his current frail body, he feared he would turn into a pool of bloody water the moment he stepped into the array.
It seemed he would have to think of another way...
...
Inside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Huo Yuhao let out an involuntary sneer.
This truly was a case of reaping what one sows.
Unfortunately, even if you do get in, I won't leave so much as a clump of dirt for you!
Once the cultivation experiments for the Dark Blue Silver King were over, he would simply move the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well away.
He imagined that when Tang San finally managed to reach the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well through great hardship, only to see a giant empty pit—his expression then would surely be spectacular.
"Nannan! I told you this guy didn't look like a good person! Look at how evilly he's smiling!!!"
Seeing the faint smile on Huo Yuhao's face in the distance, Tang Ya whispered to Jiang Nannan, trying to persuade her best friend—who was sinking deeper and deeper—to return from the wrong path.
To her surprise, Jiang Nannan blinked, glanced at the distant Huo Yuhao, and after her eyes lingered for a moment, she immediately turned back to Tang Ya:
"Xiaoya, Mister is a very good person..."
Tang Ya slapped her forehead. It was over. Hopeless. Completely hopeless!
Do you have filters in your eyes?! He's still holding my martial soul in his hand! He's smiling so evilly! Where does he look like a good person? Sister, please wake up!!!
"Badmouthing me behind my back again? It seems the last punishment didn't help your memory..."
At some unknown point, Huo Yuhao had already arrived before the two.
The youth's face was as fair as jade. His deep blue eyes lowered slightly, landing on Tang Ya, carrying an air of interrogation.
Had it not been for the slight smile at the corner of his mouth, revealing the fact that he was in a good mood, Tang Ya likely would have chosen to hide behind Jiang Nannan immediately.
"Mister, it's my fault. Xiaoya didn't say anything..."
Jiang Nannan hesitated slightly, but ultimately chose to stand up and explain for her best friend.
If there must be a punishment... then punish me!

"Alright, I didn't say I was going to do anything to you. Pack your things; school has been in session at Shrek for over a week now. I requested leave for you, but it's better to head back as soon as possible."
"I see..."
As Jiang Nannan spoke, her tone unexpectedly carried a hint of regret.
Wait, sister!
What are you regretting! Regretting that there's no punishment?!
Tang Ya was struck with awe, suddenly realizing that her best friend seemed to have picked up some strange attributes without her noticing.
Too scary, truly too scary! Is this guy a succubus?!!!
Tang Ya now felt that if she didn't strictly guard her own heart, she would eventually fall into the trap herself!
Wait... could it be that this was his goal all along?!
His goal wasn't just Nannan, but her too?!
Tang Ya involuntarily swallowed her saliva, then silently shifted backward, trying to hide herself completely behind Jiang Nannan.
Huo Yuhao, sensing Tang Ya's shifting emotions: ???
...
After sending the two girls back to Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao returned to his Spirit Transmission Pagoda.
He was preparing to go back to his office... oh wait, his office had now become the Vice Tower Master's office.
Aside from controlling the general direction of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda's development, everything else—including capital coordination for various departments and personnel management—was handled by Zhang Lexuan.
Upholding the idea of making the best use of everything, Huo Yuhao had quite decisively renovated his Tower Master's office for Zhang Lexuan's use.
Out of habit, Huo Yuhao knocked before pushing the door open. Just as he was about to speak, he saw an extra figure near Zhang Lexuan.
"Ling Luochen? Why are you here? Have you used up all the Ultimate Ice contained in the imprint?"
"Am I not allowed to come here if it's not used up? Can't I come to see Eldest Senior Sister?"
Ling Luochen would never admit that she had come because she broke through to Rank 50 and wanted to share her joy with a certain someone!
Huo Yuhao was slightly confused. After sensing for a moment, he felt Ling Luochen's cultivation, which had indeed reached Rank 50.
So, it was a breakthrough in cultivation...
