Huo Yuhao blinked, withdrawing the starlight from his eyes. Looking at Gu Yuena, who had already put away her elemental power and seemed at a loss outside the door, he smiled.
"Thank you."
He naturally understood why she had come. Inside the God-Imprint Throne just now, he had also noticed that the contract connection had been severed. He inexplicably felt that the God-Imprint Throne was helping him.
Gu Yuena was startled upon hearing this.
His tone was gentle, just as natural as when he had been concerned about her today.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuena's heart also calmed down. She asked: "Yuhao, what were you just doing?"
Yes, they were already friends. She had just been worried and wanted to enter a friend's room — why be so flustered?
Just be as natural as Yuhao.
Learn from Yuhao!
"I got something."
Huo Yuhao looked out at the star-dotted night sky and said: "Want to go see?"
Gu Yuena nodded and followed Huo Yuhao out to the open space outside the dormitory, curious.
Few people came here to begin with. Now, in the dead of night, it was naturally very quiet.
Huo Yuhao looked at the sky. Starlight bloomed on his right hand. He grasped suddenly, and a scepter appeared in his hand.
Gu Yuena's attention was immediately drawn. The scepter had no gemstones embedded in it. What she saw did not seem to be a scepter, but rather the sun, moon, and stars themselves.
A Divine Artifact?
Seeing Huo Yuhao take out a Divine Artifact, Gu Yuena showed no change in expression.
A God King with a super artifact super artifact what was the problem with having a few extra Divine Artifacts?
Not to mention her within the Spirit Transmission Tower itself, several long-established families also had Divine Artifacts. They seemed to have fallen from the Divine Realm. Who knew what had happened there?
But what made Gu Yuena think deeply was the place Huo Yuhao had just been.
Something that could isolate the contract — had he gone to another plane? Or a Divine Artifact's internal space?
Either way, it shows that Yuhao has many trump cards and has the ability to take back his original power. Good thing I didn't continue testing him back then, or I'd be running away by now.
Gu Yuena secretly rejoiced.
Before, she hadn't doubted that Yuhao might be unable to recover his strength — she had just forced herself not to think about it. After all, there was no enmity between them. If she had overthought things and tempted him, eventually leading to them becoming enemies, that would have been bad.
The way things were now was pretty good.
On the other side, Huo Yuhao focused his mind. The scepter in his hand automatically gathered the star power of the constellations. Points of starlight gathered around him and gradually blended into his body, increasing his physical strength.
This Divine Artifact's name was Star's Favor. It was not a combat-type Divine Artifact, but an auxiliary-type. He was still studying its various functions, but two core functions had already been determined.
Through this Divine Artifact, he could open a Star Realm Gate leading to the Eternal Domain. This should be permission granted to him by the Eternal Lord.
One more escape route — and it seemed safer than the Undead Half-Plane.
As for the other function... of course, it was to draw upon starlight, just like the Star Observation Platform — the very foundation of the Tian Ding Starry Sky Spirit Master Academy. The drawn starlight could be used to temper the body, increase spirit power recovery speed, accelerate cultivation speed, and so on.
Of course, the effect of Star's Favor was far greater than that Star Observation Platform.
But to use starlight for cultivation, the user must have a martial soul or ability that can utilize star power.
Originally, Huo Yuhao did not belong to this category of spirit masters. But after Elder Electrolux placed Star's Favor into the Eye of Life — now he was.
According to the original work, the Eye of Life would be filled with the fortune power of the Auspicious Beast, transforming from the Eye of Life into the Eye of Destiny, and ultimately receiving the power of chaos in the Great Divine Realm to become the Eternal Eye.
And now, that place was filled with the life aura of the Gold of Life and the star power given by the Eternal Angel. The Eye of Life had already acquired the star attribute. Star's Favor would also be placed there when he was not using it, serving as an anchor to stabilize the star power and further change the nature of the Eye of Life.
If Huo Yuhao wanted, he could open the Eye of Life, mobilize star power directly, and make his spirit power carry the star attribute.
Yes — he could start considering moves like the Diamond Star Fist...
The three artifact spirits respectively control star power, life power, and nature power. Among them, judging by the manifestation of the Holy Sacred Dragon, which represents life power, life power has to do with elemental power — it controls seven elements.
King Easton, who represents nature power, has the ability to control life and plants.
With Gu Yuena's bloodline as a foundation, plus the Gold of Life, accepting the power of those two would be relatively easy. So that's why the Eternal Angel was the first to test me?
Thinking this, Huo Yuhao had a realization. Then he felt somewhat speechless.
The three artifact spirits together equaled a world of eternity and creation. If the Eye of Life accepted all of their power, would it still... be called the Eternal Eye?
Was he destined to be stuck with the Eternal Eye for his whole life?
Even after all these changes, he still ended up back here.
Thinking this, Huo Yuhao turned his head to look at Gu Yuena beside him. Seeing her trying to catch the starlight gathered around with her hands, he waited quietly for a moment until she lost interest, then asked: "Would you be interested in training with me?"
Gu Yuena released the starlight in her hands and smiled slightly. "Of course."
Huo Yuhao put away the scepter in his hand and stepped back about ten meters. As Gu Yuena revealed her spirit rings, he also revealed his — not concealing their colors. White-gold, starry gold, and gray-gold — three spirit rings appeared in sequence.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena was startled. Her expression also became serious. The two yellow spirit rings around her transformed into two pale golden spirit rings as well.
They... were both cheaters.
The next moment, ice, space, ice, fire, and various other dual-attribute ice cones instantly filled the space around Gu Yuena and flew rapidly toward Huo Yuhao.
Since Yuhao was no longer concealing the true state of his spirit rings, it was clear that he wanted her to be more serious.
The ice cones carrying the space element suddenly disappeared mid-air. When they reappeared, they were already not far from Huo Yuhao. But just as they were about to hit him, a vertical eye on his forehead — the Eye of Life — quietly opened. Starlight was mobilized.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao's second spirit ring lit up.
Instantly, a wall of starlight appeared before Huo Yuhao, withstanding all the ice cone attacks. Even the dual-attribute elemental ice cones could not break through it.
However, this defense lasted only one second. The wall of starlight naturally disappeared. Huo Yuhao flashed aside to dodge the remaining attacks.
Spirit Sculpting Myriad Forms was a highly malleable spirit ability, but it was not necessarily a divine ability. Yet now, because of the blessing and influence of the star power, his second spirit ability had completely transformed into a divine ability!
Because his second spirit ring had been infused with star power, the spirit ability within had mutated. The star attribute carried absolute effectiveness. Under the influence of this attribute, the tangible objects condensed with star power by his second spirit ability possessed the absolute effectiveness of being indestructible for one second!
Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow. Seeing Huo Yuhao dodge the attack and quickly charge toward her, she was about to use the space element to evade when Spiritual Interference suddenly struck, disrupting her movement in releasing her spirit ability. At the same time, star chains had already extended from Huo Yuhao's direction.
Gu Yuena's body flashed, dodging most of the chains. But one of them still bound itself around her delicate body.
However, Gu Yuena used the space element to leave her original position the next second.
Huo Yuhao was not surprised to see this.
His absolute effectiveness was simply that tangible objects could not be destroyed within one second. It was different from Xu Xiaoyan's strong control immobilization. The direction of their absolute effectiveness was different.
He was fighting with Gu Yuena also to try out the various limitations of this spirit ability in combat.
