Chapter 71: The Gathering
Xuan Zi's mouth twitched again upon hearing this. He couldn't possibly misunderstand what Huo Yuhao meant; it was purely a makeshift excuse to brush him off.
Xuan Zi dared to bet a hundred times over that, aside from this set of Three-Word Battle Armor, all future Three-Word Battle Armors would definitely have normal attributes. After all, this thing gave off the distinct feeling of being an experimental product no matter how one looked at it.
Seeing Xuan Zi remain silent, Huo Yuhao, who had already accepted the Heaven And Earth Treasures, hurriedly explained a few words to prevent Xuan Zi from returning the goods.
"Elder Xuan, don't look at the fact that this battle armor's usual state is a bit imperfect; its amplification during combat is definitely the greatest. Ordinary Three-Word Battle Armor can't compare to it."
There was no such thing as a return policy when it came to the battle armor Huo Yuhao manufactured.
Even though he had used the title of the first set of Three-Word Battle Armor to successfully scam Xuan Zi out of ten times the amount of rare metals plus Heaven And Earth Treasures sufficient to Cultivate to the Super Douluo level, his conscience suffered a small prick of guilt.
But you tell me, is this the first set or not? As the first person to 'eat the crab,' it's only reasonable for the battle armor to have some minor after-sales issues.
Xuan Zi looked at Huo Yuhao, unfolded the battle armor, and felt its amplification of his own spirit power. He gritted his teeth and took it away anyway.
Carrying the battle armor, he prepared to find Yan Shaozhe for a proper sparring session. He had to use this extremely strong combat power to make up for the heartache of losing half a lifetime's worth of resources.
After Huo Yuhao obtained the Heaven And Earth Treasures provided by Xuan Zi, he once again created a simple Spirit Ascension Platform. With the experience from the first time, the conversion efficiency was somewhat higher.
After injecting this batch of Heaven And Earth Treasures into it, the years of Huo Yuhao's spirit rings were once again enhanced.
The years of his second, third, and fourth spirit rings increased again. The three spirit rings, which had already reached one hundred and fifty thousand years, increased by another fifty thousand years, reaching the level of two hundred thousand years.
Huo Yuhao's own spirit power also increased again under the stimulation of the Spirit Ascension. His spirit power, which had just broken through to Rank 63, grew to the point of being halfway past Rank 63.
Inside the Golden Ancient Tree, Huo Yuhao was engaged in a tense and exciting one-on-one spirit tool game duel with Di Qiuer.
With the assistance of his extremely strong mental force, Huo Yuhao's reaction speed was several times faster than Di Qiuer's. In less than a minute, Di Qiuer's expression turned somewhat ugly.
"Huo Yuhao, it's already 102—0! You're really too detestable. If you have the ability, suppress your mental force to the same level as mine."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao very calmly suppressed his mental force, and then, with the assistance of Destiny Power, achieved the effect of landing critical hits with every strike, directly slashing the main artery of the character Di Qiuer was controlling with a few blows.
Di Qiuer immediately roared in anger and punched Huo Yuhao's chest. "Huo—Yu—Hao! I may not be human, but you are truly a dog. You bastard, you're actually cheating!"
Huo Yuhao shrugged helplessly. After writing '103—0' on a piece of paper, he lay lazily on the sofa and replied, "How can you call this cheating? This is purely personal strength; I just have a bit of good Luck. Xiao Jin, I'm right, aren't I?"
Xiao Jin, as always, stood on Huo Yuhao's side, making Di Qiuer's teeth itch with frustration. After punching Huo Yuhao twice more, she also lay down on the sofa and began drinking juice.
"Huo Yuhao, today is your birthday, isn't it? You actually came to find me to play games. Is it because no one is accompanying you for your birthday?
Then this Auspicious Beast might consider accompanying you."
Huo Yuhao smiled upon hearing this. He found it very amusing to see Di Qiuer wanting to spend his birthday with him while still being a bit stubborn about it.
"Sure. It just so happens that I'm planning to have a gathering inside the Golden Ancient Tree this time. You might even get to meet some new friends."
Hearing that she wasn't the only one invited to Huo Yuhao's birthday, Di Qiuer felt a bit disappointed. However, thinking that she could meet many new friends, a smile reappeared on her face.
Soon night fell. Around the round table inside the Golden Ancient Tree, Huo Yuhao had invited all his friends to sit around.
Di Qiuer and Xu Jiujiu sat on Huo Yuhao's left and right sides chatting. Fan Yu and the rest of the older generation sat directly opposite, currently looking toward Huo Yuhao with kind smiles.
Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei and Xu Sanshi were playing a spirit tool game on the sofa, engaged in a very intense battle, while Tang Ya was expressing her gratitude to Xiao Jin on the side.
The students from the Spirit Master Competition were surrounding and studying the various new types of spirit tools Huo Yuhao had produced, feeling quite curious about these emerging spirit tools.
As Huo Yuhao took his roasted fish and various delicacies out of his storage spirit tool and placed them on the table, everyone who caught the scent immediately gathered around the dining table and began to feast heartily.
Xuan Zi loved to eat to begin with. At the dining table, he and Xu Sanshi almost got into a fight over a chicken leg. In the end, Xuan Zi relied on his strength as a Limit Douluo to seize victory.
Xu Jiujiu somewhat elegantly picked up a piece of fish, only for Di Qiuer to reach across Huo Yuhao and snatch it away, leaving Huo Yuhao speechless.
This kind of playfulness actually caused Xu Jiujiu to relax quite a bit, and she gradually began to compete with Di Qiuer for food.
Mu En still lay kindly on his recliner, watching everyone with a joyful expression. Occasionally, he made eye contact with Huo Yuhao and gave him a slight smile.
Seeing this harmonious scene, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but be in high spirits, and his determination to create a new God Realm strengthened.
The God Positions and the number of slots to bring others along in the God Realm were too few. Huo Yuhao didn't want to think about who to bring and who not to bring. As long as they were his friends, he hoped they could all live on forever.
The one who was out of place with this table of people was Wang Donger, who sat in the corner. From time to time, she looked at Huo Yuhao with expectation, her sincere gaze making Huo Yuhao somewhat afraid to meet her eyes.
At this moment, with Tang San leading the God of Death to be his enemy, Huo Yuhao could not get along with Wang Donger frankly.
He couldn't just ignore Wang Donger's relationship with Tang San, nor could he guarantee that Wang Donger would choose him in the final conflict.
Most of the people present would likely create a new God Realm under his leadership; this was the confidence brought by the sincere emotions perceived by Huo Yuhao's Divine Sense.
But Wang Donger alone was out of place among them. She possessed a God Position and did not need a new God Realm to achieve eternal life.
Her father was Tang San, the current dictator of this continent, and perhaps their future enemy.
In the current Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao's name was much more resonant than Tang San's. Mu En and the others had some faint guesses about Huo Yuhao's goals.
The Sea God Pavilion Elders, Beibei, and the others had all secretly kept some distance from Wang Donger. This might not be fair to Wang Donger, but Huo Yuhao could not afford to be soft-hearted.
From the moment the aura of the Death Law appeared on Di Qiuer, Huo Yuhao knew that his game with Tang San had officially begun.
Having passed his novice phase, Huo Yuhao was no longer someone Tang San could knead at will. Under a life-risking strike of ten thousand years of Luck, even a God King would be heavily injured.
Tang San might have noticed that something was wrong with Shrek Academy, but it was too late now.
