"Rumble—rumble—rumble."
The murderous energy, once drawn into Huo Yuhao's body, was pulled by a strange force into the Solar Divine Pillar, then flowed along the sun's radiance at the top and injected into the star ring.
The first star ring began to rotate slowly, with dark red streams of light floating on it. This time, the ring appeared even more crystal-clear, radiating a mesmerizing beauty. The influx of energy caused it to operate, and the rumbling sound was generated by its rotation.
Beneath the first star ring, the pillar simultaneously lit up with numerous light patterns, climbing upward, almost reaching the height of the star ring itself.
Huo Yuhao felt it—the light patterns on the pillar resembled the progress bar in a game.
Once it aligned completely with the first star ring, would that mean the first star ring was fully activated?
Absorbing Ma Xiaotao's evil fire, absorbing the first ray of innate violet energy each day, absorbing all sorts of energies…
Huo Yuhao had already accumulated vast amounts of energy early on, and this murderous energy might be the key to completing this final step.
According to the "game progress," the light patterns on the pillar had already reached ninety percent of the required height.
Whoosh.
Huo Yuhao's spiritual body swiftly entered the Sea of Consciousness. He looked up at the Solar Divine Pillar, heart brimming with anticipation, wondering whether this absorption would directly activate the first star ring.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor were also awakened by the noise and approached Huo Yuhao, their eyes filled with surprise and anticipation.
Outside, Moon had already closed his eyes, carefully sensing the disappearance of the murderous energy in his body. His previously ravaged torso now had a subtle vitality for the first time, no longer a feeling of deathly stillness.
Even for Moon's indifferent nature, this brought some joy. His wrinkles seemed to relax, as if time itself had reversed.
Within Moon's dantian, the hidden white dragon core now radiated a large amount of dark red light—this was the extreme and terrifying murderous energy.
Perhaps sensing danger, the dragon-shaped murderous energy roared angrily and fearfully, attempting to smash through Moon's body. However, beams of light poured into the dantian like hands of a god, tightly grasping the dragon core and capturing the dragon shadows. No matter their roars or fear, in the face of the Solar Divine Pillar, they were mere nourishment.
Unlike Ma Xiaotao's evil fire, which persisted because her martial soul hadn't been purified and kept generating over time, the murderous energy from the dragon core was finite, like a sealed reservoir. Once the source was opened, it would gradually deplete, with no possibility of regeneration.
In Yan Shaozhe's sight, his teacher's body constantly emitted endless dark red light, which was absorbed into Huo Yuhao's Heavenly Eye on his forehead.
"Teacher… your body…"
Yan Shaozhe's eyes widened, filled with indescribable excitement and misty with tears.
He could sense it—the teacher's aura no longer carried the stillness of death. Instead, it was like the newborn sun, brimming with vitality.
This was the true power of the Light Sacred Dragon, untainted by any other energy.
Inside the Sea of Consciousness, under the watch of Huo Yuhao, Ice Emperor, and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, more vast amounts of murderous energy were drawn in, flowing into the sunlit top of the Solar Divine Pillar.
Whoosh.
Suddenly, a strange phenomenon occurred.
For some unknown reason, the first star ring spun faster. Golden beams of light shot from it—warm, nurturing rays, like the sun feeding all living beings.
As the light bathed Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness, the previously azure space instantly transformed into a brilliant gold.
"Ice… do you feel it?"
Suddenly, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm cried out.
Huo Yuhao turned to see Ice Emperor frozen in place: "So warm… my soul feels like it could live forever."
"Live forever?" Huo Yuhao's heart stirred.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm laughed: "Although 'immortal' is an illusion, there's no denying that our spiritual power has grown greatly under this light. Too bad there's no physical body—otherwise, brother would have tried enhancing it."
Looking toward the Solar Divine Pillar, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm exclaimed: "Yuhao, look! The light patterns on the pillar are now aligned with the star ring!"
Huo Yuhao quickly looked—his pupils widened.
The pillar's progress bar was now completely level with the first star ring.
Hum.
At this moment, the first star ring moved, spinning to merge with the pillar. Once attached, the ring was no longer floating at a distance. At the moment of merging, its light exploded, transforming into a transparent crystalline form, scattering dazzling starlight fragments—extraordinarily beautiful.
The second to fourth star rings remained unchanged, like floating stone rings.
"Success?" Huo Yuhao looked at himself, but… he didn't feel anything different.
Just as he muttered this, a beam of light shot out from the sun at the top of the Solar Divine Pillar, locking directly onto Huo Yuhao and covering his body.
Bathing in the beam, Huo Yuhao passively absorbed a massive amount of information.
"This… is the first star ring's ability?"
Huo Yuhao breathed heavily, shocked.
The first star ring's skill seemed custom-made for him.
Its name: Solar Divine Light.
Its effect was simple: he could absorb sunlight into the star ring, similar to injecting soul force into a soul ring, then release it through the solar radiance at the top of the Solar Divine Pillar.
Anyone who believed in Huo Yuhao and was touched by the sunlight would have their soul and body blessed by the sun, drastically increasing their power.
The exact increase in power or consumption of sunlight—and whether it had additional effects—remained unknown until tested.
But this skill was practically made for the undead legions of the half-dimensional undead realm. Remember, Elekks had already converted the direct-line undead into Light Attribute beings. Once Huo Yuhao controlled the half-dimensional undead and applied amplification, the results would be extraordinary.
Additionally, the skill had a passive effect: when Huo Yuhao used Solar Divine Light on himself, during the release of Ice Emperor's martial soul, the extreme ice soul force would carry a trace of extreme heat, a passive that first appeared during the Ice Emperor fusion.
The duration and consumption of this passive skill were unknown and needed testing.
Once everything settled, the light around Huo Yuhao faded. He glanced at the gray cyclone beside the Solar Divine Pillar, then returned his gaze to the pillar. His eyes shifted toward the second star ring, curious what power it held.
"Tianmeng, Ice Emperor, this light will persist for a while. Continue nurturing your souls; I'll leave for now." Noticing the external changes, Huo Yuhao spoke to them.
"Understood."
Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, then opened them, separating his consciousness from the Sea of Consciousness.
Moon now stood silently, his body free of dark red murderous energy, eyes closed in calm.
Huo Yuhao focused, and the Heavenly Eye vanished. "Teacher, all the murderous energy in Master's body has been absorbed."
Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe hurried forward, full of expectation. Could the Dragon God who shocked Douluo Continent truly return?
Time passed—an hour went by with Huo Yuhao and Yan Shaozhe standing still the entire time.
Finally, there was movement. Moon, who had been still, opened his eyes slowly. His previously murky eyes now gleamed with bright gold, and limitless light radiated from him—freedom in pure light energy, no longer needing to split a portion to suppress murderous energy.
"Yuhao, thank you truly this time," Moon said, a faint smile on his lips. Though still hunched, his complexion was visibly healthier.
Huo Yuhao smiled. "I'm very happy you've regained your health."
"Teacher, let's share the good news with the elders," Yan Shaozhe said, excitement in his tone, far from that of a ninety-year-old.
"Very well." Moon nodded.
…
When Huo Yuhao and others entered the Golden Ancient Tree Soul Power Space, more people had gathered in the Haishen Pavilion first-floor hall.
Besides the original elders—Xuan, Lin, Song, and Zhuang—six more senior elders had arrived, along with Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er.
Without exaggeration, the weakest present was Qian Duoduo, a Level 94 Douluo.
Despite the crowd, the hall was quiet, soft light reflecting off everyone's faces. All sat expectantly, silently waiting for news.
The Shrek Academy with Moon present was not the same as without him. The destructive power of an Ultimate Douluo left no doubt.
Zzzz!
In the silence, a crisp hissing sound arose, and faint golden light emerged from the deepest wall of the hall, forming a golden gate.
Almost instantly, everyone looked up and moved toward it.
The next moment, three figures emerged from the gate under everyone's gaze.
"Elder Mu!"
The lead figure was Elder Mu. Everyone couldn't help shouting.
"I'm not dead yet, you're shouting so hard," Moon chuckled. "Sit down, everyone, and I'll explain my body's condition."
Everyone returned to their seats, but all eyes were still on Huo Yuhao.
"Yuhao, find a seat," Moon said.
"Understood." Huo Yuhao didn't refuse, but instead of taking an empty elder seat, he placed a chair behind Yan Shaozhe.
This action immediately impressed some elders unfamiliar with him.
To become a Shrek senior elder, one had to have contributed greatly. Each position was exclusive. Even the pavilion master couldn't occupy it without the person present.
"From today, Yuhao is granted an auditing seat among Haishen Pavilion members. Upon reaching level seventy, he will be promoted to a full member."
Elder Mu announced this, shocking everyone.
Huo Yuhao froze.
"Elder Mu… this—" a senior questioned in surprise.
"Yuhao deserves such a position," Moon waved off the question. "During auditing, he can voice his opinions, and we must listen."
Another heavy bombshell.
Yan Shaozhe, Cai Meier, Qian Duoduo, and Xian Lin'er exchanged surprised looks.
Even Zhang Lexuan, a current auditing member, didn't have the right to voice opinions.
But no one dared oppose Elder Mu's authority.
Yan Shaozhe was puzzled. Even if Yuhao saved the teacher, this arrangement seemed extraordinary. Perhaps Moon had other intentions.
"The decision regarding Yuhao stands," Moon said. "As for my body, I'm not fully recovered yet."
The crowd fell slightly.
"But within a year, I'll fully recover, with lifespan no longer limited. Under normal circumstances, I could live another seventy to eighty years."
This statement astonished everyone.
"Elder Mu, is this true?" Xuanzi stood, shocked.
"Absolutely," Moon smiled. "Thanks to Yuhao, all the accumulated murderous energy in my body was absorbed. Without its erosion, recovery is only a matter of time."
Hiss.
Gasps filled the hall.
"Yuhao, thank you," Song, Lin, and Zhuang saluted him.
Huo Yuhao smiled politely, slightly turning aside, refusing to accept it.
"I'm part of Shrek Academy. Helping Master restore his health makes me happy; no need for such gestures."
Everyone smiled, admiration for him growing.
"Xiao Zhuang, please manage my recovery for now," Moon said.
"I'll ensure your health returns as quickly as possible," Zhuang replied solemnly.
"That's why I trust you," Moon nodded. "That's all. Everyone, return and rest. But remember, from today, Shrek Academy must restrain itself externally. The continent is changing—don't be a conspicuous target."
"Yuhao, stay. I have a task for you."
"Understood." Everyone stood and departed in order.
Knowing Moon was recovering brought the greatest relief and joy.
"Yuhao, Master wishes to entrust a task to you. Will you accept?" Moon asked.
"Go ahead." Huo Yuhao, now with the first star ring activated, smiled broadly.
"After this competition, I plan to give you the permanent title of the Seven Devils of Shrek and announce your auditing seat in Haishen Pavilion."
"Master, you have some plan in mind, don't you?" Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow.
"Indeed, I do," Moon exhaled. "Most in the Martial Soul department still resist soul guides. That's not good. I want you to promote soul guides, so both outer and inner students understand their value."
"The academy's future depends on combining soul guides and soul masters. We're already behind. If we continue to lag, the era will abandon us."
"I accept," Huo Yuhao said immediately.
"Are you sure?" Moon's gaze was mysterious.
"Absolutely." Huo Yuhao realized this meant he was now fully part of Shrek's core, even as an auditing member—a young Haishen Pavilion member that would shock everyone and signal his inseparable status within Shrek Academy.
"Good." Moon nodded. "Remember, if it benefits the academy, speak and act boldly. Master will back you, even as your executioner if necessary."
"I know," Huo Yuhao nodded heavily.
As Huo Yuhao left Haishen Pavilion, his excitement lingered. Today's arrangements were extraordinary.
"Yuhao," a voice called.
Huo Yuhao looked up to see Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier waiting on the forest path.
"Teacher, Master's Wife," he greeted.
"You're far stronger than your teacher was back then," Yan Shaozhe complimented.
Huo Yuhao smiled.
Yan Shaozhe continued: "I assume Elder Xuan told you—the selection tournament has three special slots for eliminated students, a gift from your Master. You may choose three people."
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up as he exchanged a look with his teacher…
