The four spirit rings on Huo Yuhao's body—two purple and two black—suddenly dissipated like phantoms, receding into his body.
Immediately after... two deep, eerie blood-red halos slowly rose from beneath his feet, like two burning blood-colored suns!
On those two blood-colored rings, four golden patterns were evenly distributed.
"Red... Red spirit rings?!"
"Hundred... Hundred thousand years?!"
"How is that possible..."
Exclamations and gasps instantly erupted among the crowd!
Whether it was the youths still queuing for registration and their parents, or the Shrek students who had just recovered from the Spiritual Impact and were still reeling with fear, or even the blue-skirted girl holding the ice crystal staff... everyone's face turned a deathly, unbelievable pale in that instant!
Pupils dilated and mouths hung open unconsciously, as if they were witnessing the most inconceivable illusion in the World.
They all knew exactly what those red spirit rings represented.
Those were hundred-thousand-year spirit rings, a color that almost every Spirit Master only dared to dream of for their ninth spirit ring.
But now, what were they seeing?
A youth who looked no more than eleven or twelve years old, whose first and second spirit rings... were actually the legendary hundred-thousand-year spirit rings?!
This could no longer be described by the word "Genius"; it was simply an upheaval of everything known about the Spirit Master cultivation system.
Even the two Shrek experts who had been silently watching from the distant city wall underwent a drastic change in expression!
With the appearance of these two spirit rings, a layer of translucent, diamond-like ice crystals rapidly spread to cover Huo Yuhao's arms, emitting an Ultimate frost so intense it made even the Soul ache.
He did not directly light up the spirit rings to use a Spirit Ability.
Beneath the clothes on his chest, his spine and part of his sternum could be faintly seen emitting a shimmering jade-green light through his flesh.
Huo Yuhao chose to directly use a Spirit Bone skill, which was also a powerful Domain-type Spirit Ability he had mastered.
"Domain of Eternal Frost!"
With Huo Yuhao's standing position as the Origin, a visible wave of ice-blue chill surged outward with ferocious speed.
With Huo Yuhao's current Spirit Power, it was already enough to maintain the Domain of Eternal Frost over a five-hundred-meter radius.
But at this moment, under Huo Yuhao's control, this destructive wave of extreme cold precisely avoided the registering students and the parents beside them.
However, for those Shrek Outer Court students, this extreme cold revealed its most savage fangs!
"Crack, crackle..."
The dense, tooth-aching sound of freezing rang out as everything within the Domain of Eternal Frost was instantly eroded and frozen by that pervasive ultimate chill!
Various shapes of translucent ice shards condensed out of thin air, and the previously lush green surroundings were instantly covered in a sheet of ice-blue.
In the span of a few short breaths, the dozens of Outer Court students led by Duan Lang were all turned into ice sculptures in various poses!
As the extreme cold Domain swept past, the Spirit King girl was horrified to find that the ice-attribute cold current she had previously released had instantly escaped her mental control!
As an ice-attribute Spirit Master, she had a resistance to cold that far exceeded ordinary people.
But now, for the first time in her life, she felt what true "cold" meant!
It wasn't just a stinging pain on the surface, nor just a shiver in the bone marrow; it was an absolute, bitter cold that seemed to stem from the depths of the Soul, threatening to freeze even consciousness and thought!
"Ugh...!"
She let out a muffled groan, her beautiful face instantly losing all color as her delicate body trembled uncontrollably.
She desperately pushed all her Spirit Power to its limits, struggling to resist that pervasive extreme cold.
Her teeth chattered uncontrollably, making a soft clicking sound, and her normally cold and aloof eyes were now filled with an indescribable shock.
In the areas not covered by the Domain of Eternal Frost, the registering students and accompanying parents all stood frozen like clay statues, staring dumbfoundedly at the scene before them.
Their brains had almost ground to a halt.
Just moments ago, they thought this youth who had come alone was about to be expelled by Shrek, but they hadn't expected the actual situation to be the exact opposite of their predictions.
Not only was the youth not expelled, but he had instead boldly displayed a strength far beyond his age with an absolute posture!
Two blood-red hundred-thousand-year spirit rings!
An extreme cold Domain that instantly froze dozens of elite Shrek students!
Everything happened so fast and was so incredible that they had to use various means to confirm they hadn't fallen into an illusion.
Under Huo Yuhao's exquisite control, the Domain of Eternal Frost did not stop there.
That extreme cold, like a living white giant dragon, continued to spread toward the towering city walls of Shrek Academy not far away!
Wherever it passed, the ground was covered in thick ice, and the air froze into fine ice crystal dust.
In the blink of an eye, a section of the city wall dozens of meters long had been transformed into a giant ice wall, smooth as a mirror and emitting a bone-chilling mist!
On the city wall, the two Shrek experts who had been composed and watching from the sidelines had still not fully recovered from the extreme shock brought by those two blood-red spirit rings.
The sudden assault of Ultimate frost gave them a violent jolt.
As a Titled Douluo, Yan Shaozhe reacted the fastest. He frowned slightly, and with a single thought, a cluster of pure and warm golden flame instantly ignited out of thin air in front of him.
This was the Fire of Light!
A light-attribute flame at the Titled Douluo level!
However... "Hmm?!"
The moment the flame appeared, a flash of surprise crossed Yan Shaozhe's eyes.
Because in that instant, he clearly felt that the quality of the ice-cold aura surging up from below far exceeded his estimations!
When his Fire of Light came into contact with that icy aura, it actually emitted a faint "sizzling" sound.
The golden flame's light dimmed noticeably for a moment, showing faint signs of being suppressed!
This icy chill... could actually affect the Fire of Light of a Titled Douluo?
Yan Shaozhe's heart shook, and he immediately increased his Spirit Power output.
The cluster of golden flame, which was originally only the size of a fist, roared and surged, instantly expanding to the size of a human head.
Blazing light and warmth erupted like a miniature sun, the light flaring brilliantly to halt the spread of the Domain of Eternal Frost's Ultimate chill.
Standing beside Yan Shaozhe, Director of Instruction Director Du Weilin looked at the youth below, surrounded by two piercing blood rings in a World of ice-blue, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
He slowly turned his head and asked with an unbelievable suspicion, "Dean... could he... could he be a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast in human form?!"
Other than this explanation, he really couldn't imagine how a human youth could possess two hundred-thousand-year spirit rings and such a terrifying Domain at this age!
Yan Shaozhe's deep gaze pierced through the icy mist below, locking firmly onto Huo Yuhao, as if trying to see through him completely.
After a moment, he slowly shook his head, his voice low and certain: "No."
"Even if a Spirit Beast can take human form, its life Origin and Soul aura will still have a trace of abnormality that is hard to fully hide under the perception of a Titled Douluo. But this youth..."
"His life fluctuations are pure, and his Soul aura is solid. He is undoubtedly human, definitely not a transformed Spirit Beast."
Despite saying this, a lingering confusion also appeared on his face.
"However... these two genuine hundred-thousand-year spirit rings are truly inconceivable and baffling."
He glanced at Director Du Weilin beside him, let out a soft breath, and said, "Let's go. Since we've been 'discovered,' let's go down and meet this... 'miraculous' youth."
As his voice fell, the two of them drifted down from the high city wall like light feathers, landing steadily in the center of the ice-covered World below.

A/N: I don't really understand why Yuhao would openly reveal his hundred thousand year spirit rings.
