Returning by car to the vicinity of the Spirit Transmission Tower, Huo Yuhao saw several families walking out of the Spirit Transmission Tower with their children holding Spirit Soul Balls. Suddenly, he spoke in the Sea of Spirit:
"I am human, but for me, the ones who have helped me the most are you Spirit Beasts Brother Skydream and the others. Everyone in the Extreme North has also shown me great care."
"In this era, does it meet your expectations? This is the best I can do..."
As long as spirit masters still need spirit rings, the conflict between spirit beasts and spirit masters can never completely disappear. Using the Spirit Soul contract as a breakthrough point, allowing both sides the possibility of walking another path this was the only way he could think of for them to coexist harmoniously.
"Yuhao..."
Ice Empress and Skydream were both started, then both smiled at the same time.
"You've done everything you could. Ten thousand years ago, who could have imagined that spirit beasts and spirit masters could coexist in relative harmony? Don't overthink it."
Ice Empress said with a gentle smile.
"Thank you."
Huo Yuhao smiled at her words. He was about to look away when he saw two children holding Spirit Soul Balls suddenly start competing with each other.
"My Spirit Soul is the strongest!"
"No, my Spirit Soul is the strongest!"
"Hmph, then let's have a Spirit Soul battle and see whose Spirit Soul is stronger!"
One child picked up his Spirit Soul Ball and made a throwing motion.
The other child raised his Spirit Soul Ball without backing down and said:
"Bring it on! Who's afraid of who? My Blazing Flame Lion is definitely stronger than your Spirit Soul!"
Huo Yuhao: "..."
Ice Empress: "..."
Skydream Iceworm: "..."
Stop, please! That's not what Spirit Souls are for!
Fortunately, the children's parents intervened in time, otherwise a delightful Spirit Soul Pokémon battle would have unfolded right in front of the Spirit Transmission Tower.
At the Spirit Transmission Tower, Huo Yuhao looked at the Whale Gelatin which had been processed by a high-level spirit master and had now turned into a golden gelatinous substance and quietly marveled at himself.
He had never enjoyed this thing ten thousand years ago. Now he had the chance to try it. Truly, fate works in mysterious ways.
"Absorb it as quickly as possible. The Whale Gelatin will cool and harden over time. This is also the best moment to absorb it."
A male spirit master wearing glasses and a white uniform reminded him in a warm voice.
"Mm. Thank you for your trouble, Senior Luo." Huo Yuhao expressed his thanks and began consuming the Whale Gelatin.
Luo Yanglu a Six-Ring Soul Emperor, fire-attributed spirit master, and also the... chef of this Spirit Transmission Tower branch.
That's right, a chef. But he was Hua Yichen's personal chef, handling very precious ingredients. The two seemed to have known each other for a long time and had a good relationship.
The piece of Whale Gelatin Huo Yuhao was now eating had been processed by him.
According to Hua Yichen, Luo Yanglu would also be providing him with "nutritional meals" made from various heavenly treasures and rare earths in the future. He was to look forward to it.
Seeing Huo Yuhao finish eating the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Gelatin and start sitting in meditation to absorb its medicinal effects, Luo Yanglu's eyes flickered. He withdrew from the room and looked toward the corner beside him.
"This child is neither arrogant nor impatient, with an excellent temperament. His talent is the best I have ever seen in my life. But don't you think he's too calm?"
"So you feel the same way after all." Hua Yichen stepped out from the corner and sighed as he looked at the closed door.
He had actually witnessed Huo Yuhao's conversation with Mu Xi. At such a young age, Huo Yuhao possessed a tranquility that came from having experienced countless things. In Hua Yichen's view, this was not a good thing.
A person who remains always calm as still water can certainly face anything with compost. But experiencing various situations and feeling emotional ups and downs is also a necessary part of growing up.
Moreover, losing one's edge can mean losing the courage to fight when it matters most.
"Perhaps his complicated family background shaped his personality."
Hua Yichen frowned. "Do you have a good way to solve this?"
Luo Yanglu shook his head. "Personality isn't something that can change overnight. What solution could I possibly have? But in this state, we can't just let him quietly cultivate inside the Tower forever. He needs training and stimulation."
As he spoke, his eyes flickered as if something had occurred to him. "What about adding him to the Junior Genius Rankings after three years? A genius's pride and edge are forged through battle. Entering the rankings would also be an incentive for him."
"The Junior Genius Rankings?"
Hua Yichen frowned.
The Junior Genius Rankings a sub-ranking of the Continental Rankings ,was a ranking system for spirit masters established by the Spirit Transmission Tower.
Its stated purpose was to promote development within the spirit master community and encourage spirit masters to improve themselves. Of course, the real purpose was certainly not that.
The Continental Rankings have a total of one hundred spots, listing the one hundred most powerful Battle Armor Masters. As a sub-ranking, the Junior Genius Rankings listed young geniuses under the age of eighteen and was also known as the reserve ranking list for the Continental Rankings.
In addition to these two rankings, there were also rankings for blacksmithing, mecha manufacturing, and others.
Among them, the requirements for the Junior Genius Rankings were: under eighteen years old, evaluated comprehensively based on talent, strength, secondary profession, spirit power level, and other factors. There were only thirty spots in total.
Even if a genius could remain calm upon first entering the rankings, as their talents manifested one by one and their ranking rose, their pride and edge would also be stimulated. Thinking about it this way, having Huo Yuhao enter the rankings really did seem like a solution...
At the same time, Huo Yuhao felt his physical constitution improving inside the room. He opened his eyes, his expression shifting slightly.
The two of them had not hidden their conversation one could say they had intentionally let him hear it. They probably hoped he would notice the problem himself.
However, although Huo Yuhao appreciated that they were concerned about his psychological state, the truth was... he simply had self-awareness.
If viewed from a player's perspective, he was at best someone who had spent money to get ahead. That salted fish from Soul Land IV was the real cheater.
Everyone knew that paying players couldn't beat cheaters unless the cheater's account got banned. But that still didn't change the fact that they couldn't win in the first place.
In terms of talent, there were those stronger than him.
In terms of willpower, he had nearly blacked out when merging with Ice Empress. As a reincarnated person, he wasn't much stronger than the original Huo Yuhao.
Under these circumstances, Huo Yuhao naturally would not take pride in talents that were all gifts from others.
But Huo Yuhao would not belittle himself for it either.
He has more knowledge than the original Huo Yuhao, more mature life values, the advantage of knowing the plot, and awareness of more opportunities.
And most importantly... he wasn't love-brained. He could resist!
Only by understanding oneself can one go further.
"I won't claim to be stronger than Long Haochen. As your master, I may not be qualified."
"But since you have not chosen to leave for ten thousand years, will you lend me your strength?"
Huo Yuhao's spirit penetrated through the mark at the deepest part of his Sea of Spirit and saw a vast void of nothingness.
Just looking at it makes one feel endless darkness and silence, as if standing at the edge of the universe, where the concepts of time and space have lost all meaning.
But a radiant throne caused a subtle change in everything here, bringing life to this space.
It was pitch black all over. Its tall backrest was ancient and steady, faintly emanating a majestic aura. Carved into the backrest were the sun, moon, and stars; flowers, birds, fish, and insects; and various plants.
Huo Yuhao knew its origin.
A Divine Artifact the throne of the Creator God ,the Throne of Eternity and Creation God-Imprint!
