[Strength Gu: A third-level Gu worm that can produce invisible force. The force can be used as a carrier for the beast force phantom, granting it the ability to attack directly.]
[Evaluation: Strength to pull mountains, spirit to conquer the world.]
'Beast force phantom?'
Huo Yuhao currently didn't have a matching Gu worm to create a beast force phantom. He wondered if Bingdi could be considered one. Perhaps she could play the role of a "grandma" in the future.
Even without the beast force phantom, the simple "force" generated by the Strength Gu was enough to serve as a long-range attack method, adding another tool to his arsenal.
'Means of bullying +1.'
As Huo Yuhao pondered this, Elder Xuan smiled and said,
"What a little monster! I acknowledge you. From now on, I'll protect you in Shrek. If you need help with something big, like hunting soul beasts, you can come to me."
He patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder, then transformed into a stream of light and soared into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Thank you, Elder Xuan," Huo Yuhao said, feeling somewhat helpless.
He knew Elder Xuan's character well. While the elder agreed readily now, it was hard to say whether he would actually follow through when the time came. Elder Xuan was notoriously unreliable, though he seemed completely unaware of it.
'The engine of team annihilation.'
Every time Elder Xuan led a team, something inevitably went wrong. Huo Yuhao wasn't sure whether it was his own protagonist halo or Elder Xuan's team annihilation halo at work.
In any case, Huo Yuhao would rather take Senior Sister Ma Xiaotao out to hunt soul beasts than rely on Elder Xuan.
Of course, for soul hunting after reaching level 30, he planned to go alone.
'Enter the village quietly, don't shoot.'
Yan Shaozhe's expression was numb. If Elder Xuan hadn't taken the initiative to test Huo Yuhao, he would never have known that Huo Yuhao had such a powerful trump card up his sleeve.
The talents of people could not be generalized. Words like "gifted" or "blessed by nature" might not even be enough to describe Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao have Spiritual attribute of the Body martial soul, Second soul ring at the millennium level, Ultimate Ice attribute, Twin martial souls, Innate domain and physique comparable to a human-shaped soul beast.
Any one of these six traits would make a soul master a top-tier genius with the potential to enter Shrek's inner courtyard. Yet, all of them were present in Huo Yuhao.
This was truly unprecedented and unlikely to be surpassed in the future!
Even the legendary figure who became a god ten thousand years ago, in terms of pure talent, Yan Shaozhe felt that person was far inferior to Huo Yuhao.
Unfortunately, even after inheriting the legacy of the Spirit Hall, Shrek had never found a new path to godhood.
Ten thousand years had passed, and generations of soul masters had come and gone. Even those with greater talent than the first generation of Shrek's founders could only reach the level of a Level 99 Limit Douluo at most.
The road ahead was cut off, and becoming a god remained an illusory rumor.
Perhaps Huo Yuhao had such an opportunity?
Yan Shaozhe shook his head inwardly. It was too far-fetched to think about such things now. With Huo Yuhao's talent, becoming a Limit Douluo was almost certain, but how long would it take?
Even with the advantage of twin martial souls, it would likely take at least fifty years.
Take Yan Shaozhe himself as an example. At over ninety years old, he was only at Level 95 and had been stuck at this level for a long time.
Without a special opportunity, it would be extremely difficult for him to reach even Elder Xuan's level of Level 98 in his remaining lifetime.
After Level 90, each step forward was like crossing a natural chasm, with the difficulty increasing exponentially. Talent, resources, and opportunity—all three were indispensable!
Fortunately, Yan Shaozhe had a keen eye for talent and had helped Huo Yuhao when he was still weak, becoming his angel investor. As long as Shrek continued to support him, Huo Yuhao would grow rapidly.
In less than five years, he would solidify his position as the strongest of the younger generation on the continent.
In less than twenty years, when Huo Yuhao became a Titled Douluo, his Ultimate Ice strength might even rival Elder Xuan's Level 98 power.
Yan Shaozhe believed that the fourth glory of Shrek Academy was just around the corner!
Thinking this, Yan Shaozhe grew more and more excited. He stared at Huo Yuhao's face, his chest swelling with pride and anticipation.
Ma Xiaotao, on the other hand, was already accustomed to Huo Yuhao's strength. No matter how exaggerated his feats were, they seemed entirely reasonable when they came from him.
Looking at Huo Yuhao, Ma Xiaotao's pink eyes seemed to glisten with admiration. She felt an overwhelming sense of pride. This was the man she had set her sights on!
[Achievement Triggered!]
[Achieved the 'Hidden Dragon, Do Not Use' Achievement. Reward: Ten-Year Longevity Gu.]
[Ten-Year Longevity Gu: A second-level consumable Gu worm that can increase lifespan by ten to ninety years after use.]
[Evaluation: Hidden Dragon, Do Not Use; Hidden Peak, Keep Simple.]
It was truly a long-awaited personal achievement. The last time he had triggered a personal achievement was when he killed the Wind Baboon, which rewarded him with a first-level Liquor Gu that helped refine his soul power before Level 20.
Although it had only been a month since Huo Yuhao arrived in this world, he had been either cultivating or triggering other people's achievement tasks. Personal achievements had been rare.
If this prompt hadn't suddenly appeared, Huo Yuhao might have almost forgotten about the existence of personal achievements.
'Hidden dragon, do not use?'
Did this mean the time wasn't ripe yet, or that his current abilities were insufficient? Huo Yuhao believed it was both. Even when faced with Elder Xuan's test, he had not revealed his core secret—the Gu worms.
Previously, when using RI-related items, Huo Yuhao had relied on his Imitation skills to cover them up.
Even after obtaining a way to stably produce Yuanshi, he had no intention of revealing it to others. Only Skydream, Bingdi, and Electrolux, who were deeply bound to him, knew a little, and Huo Yuhao had kept the details to himself.
The stakes were too high, and caution was necessary.
The day of harvest was still to come.
After Xuan Zi left, Yan Shaozhe was about to say something when he suddenly looked toward the Sea God Pavilion in surprise.
The previously inconspicuous pavilion suddenly lit up with a brilliant golden light, illuminating the entire structure.
As the warm, heavy light fell on Huo Yuhao, it began to nourish his body in all directions.
"Calm down and concentrate," a gentle voice sounded in his ears.
'Mu En?'
Sure enough, there was a gift for meeting.
'He sure is being generous.'
