Bonus Chapter. Enjoy!
============================
Huo Yuhao only felt a wave of intense dizziness hit him, as if his mind were being stirred by an invisible giant hand. Everything around him seemed to be twisting, as if it were about to tear him apart.
He closed his eyes and opened them again; the scene before him was like an overturned watercolor painting, colors and lines blending together, their boundaries indistinguishable.
But a feeling was just a feeling after all; with Huo Yuhao's current mental force, he remained conscious throughout.
Deep within those Spirit Eyes, golden light flickered as he observed his surroundings, not letting a single detail escape him.
The distorted space and the chaotic lines gradually became clear within his perception.
The entire process was not long. Soon, Huo Yuhao felt his whole body relax; the feeling of weightlessness vanished, and his feet stepped onto solid ground once more.
A cold wind blew, carrying an indescribable gloom, but Huo Yuhao, who possessed the Ultimate Ice attribute, did not find it cold.
Huo Yuhao scanned the area, observing this "brand new World."
Clearly, Huo Yuhao had now arrived at the Demiplane created by his teacher, Electrolux.
This was a World of dim light, where everything around was a hazy gray.
Above the sky floated an eerie black sun, emitting a purple glow that was strange and ghostly cold, dyeing the entire World in a layer of mysterious color.
Looking out, there were barren hills everywhere; the earth was as black as ink, with no trees, no grass, no birds, and no beasts. There was not the slightest hint of life, only endless desolation and deathly silence.
No, it wasn't that there was no life at all.
Just as Huo Yuhao spread out his mental force, he clearly sensed the existence of "living things."
With a thought, Huo Yuhao's body was instantly covered in a layer of silver armor. The armor was entirely silver-white with smooth lines, adorned with brilliant purple patterns that looked like frost crystals, emitting a faint glow.
This was precisely Huo Yuhao's battle armor, named "Spirit Ice"!
Clearly, Huo Yuhao's set of battle armor was now at the Two-Word rank!
During this year or so, Huo Yuhao had not just been cultivating his Spirit Power; his battle armor had also completed its upgrade.
He was also confident that by the age of fourteen, he would achieve a Breakthrough to the Spirit Saint Realm!
As for the name of the battle armor, Huo Yuhao ultimately chose "Spirit Ice," which was compatible with his Spirit.
After all, according to the traditions of the Douluo Continent, the names of battle armor were basically related to one's Spirit or lover.
Huo Yuhao had "sweethearts" in both Worlds, so using a lover's name was naturally inappropriate.
Otherwise, if Gu Yue were to ask, "What does this 'Dong' in your battle armor's name mean?" he wouldn't even know how to answer.
That scene was awkward just to think about.
A pair of wings suddenly appeared on Huo Yuhao's back. The wings were as silver-white as snow and thin as a cicada's wing, with faint purple lines flowing over them; this was precisely the flight capability that Two-Word Battle Armor provided to a Spirit Master.
As the wings flapped, the silver-white feathers traced a graceful arc in the dim sky, and Huo Yuhao flew directly into the air, soaring over the small hill in front of him.
He then saw that behind the hillside, a large swarm of white-boned skeletons was launching a charge toward his position. Some of those skeletons held bone blades, while others gripped bone spears, with crimson flames dancing in their eye sockets.
At a glance, there were hundreds of them.
At this moment, Electrolux's voice rang out: "There are only Undead creaturess in this Small World. Any aura of life holds a massive attraction for them."
Huo Yuhao perceived that these skeletons only had strength equivalent to a Spirit Grandmaster or Spirit Elder, which wasn't particularly powerful.
He asked curiously, "Teacher, exactly how many Undead creaturess are in this Demiplane? What is the strength of the most powerful one?"
Electrolux said, "There are as many as a million Undead creaturess here, though the vast majority are at the strength of what you see before you."
Even so, a flash of shock still crossed Huo Yuhao's eyes.
Millions of Spirit Elders—it was likely that not one of the four great Empires today could field an army with such a composition.
Electrolux paused and then added, "As for the strongest, it is an Ancient Dragon King, which should have the strength of a level ninety-five Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's mouth hung open once more.
In the World his teacher created, an Undead creatures at the Super Douluo level had actually been born?!
What kind of mighty power was that? What a miracle!
Seeing Huo Yuhao's shocked expression, Electrolux said, "If you want to establish the Spirit Pagoda in this World, it won't do if your strength is insufficient. From now on, I'm handing this Small World over to you."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao was excited for a moment.
But in an instant, he suppressed the joy in his heart.
His voice carried a hint of worry: "Teacher, if I release these Undead creaturess, I'm afraid I'll become an enemy of the continent. After all, Necromancy and the abilities of an Evil Soul Master are too similar."
"Who told you to drive these Undead creaturess around in broad daylight?" Electrolux floated beside Huo Yuhao and raised his hand to give Huo Yuhao's head a light tap: "Until you've grown up, do you understand what a trump card is? Do you understand acting in the shadows?"
Although it didn't hurt, Huo Yuhao still cooperatively shrank his neck.
His eyes brightened as he smiled, "I understand, Teacher!"
...
Shrek Academy, Sea God Island.
The sea breeze blew, bringing a salty, moist scent along with the faint fragrance of the Golden Tree. The leaves of the Golden Tree rustled in the breeze, the sound crisp and dense, like thousands of wind chimes whispering.
The forces of light and life blended together, spreading across the entire Sea God Island and dyeing everything in a warm golden layer.
This was undoubtedly the core of Shrek Academy, a place that countless Outer Court Students dreamed of but found difficult to set foot upon.
Cultivating here was much faster than in the outside World.
Although Huo Yuhao was only an Outer Court Student, everyone knew that as long as he wanted to, he could enter the Inner Court at any time. Therefore, when he stepped onto Sea God Island, no one would stop him, and no one would have any objections.
Huo Yuhao no longer felt any curiosity toward Sea God Island.
After stepping onto the island, he followed the path around the island and headed straight to the right.
On both sides of the path were dense woods, with occasional bird calls that were crisp and pleasant to the ear.
Before long, a small courtyard came into view. The yard wasn't large, but it was kept neat and elegant. The walls were covered with green vines, the gate was made of wood, and in the yard was a lounge chair with a person lying on it.
He looked to be only in his twenties, with a very beautiful appearance—a male with feminine features—and an air that was gentle and melancholy, even giving off a feeling that made one feel pity for him.
However, looking closely, one could see that his right leg on the lounge chair was empty.
Huo Yuhao called out, "Senior Gongyang!"
