Huo Yuhao looked at Snow Empress for a moment, was silent for a while, then let out a light breath and said solemnly:
"I will give you both an answer!"
He said this directly, causing Gu Yuena to look over in confusion, blinking.
What was Yuhao saying?
Huo Yuhao didn't say anything else. He just smiled gently and said softly to Gu Yuena: "When you understand, we'll talk."
Then, he exchanged a glance with Snow Empress, looked away, and said no more.
Talking nicely was useless. It was about action.
If you did something wrong, you had to take responsibility.
But as Snow Empress had said, you couldn't let it get in the way of important matters either.
The few in the Sea of Spirit, watching this series of scenes, all opened their mouths wide. Among them, Ice Empress thought of her previous exchange with Snow Empress, and the corner of her mouth twitched.
Had she worried for nothing?
Xue'er... was so generous.
The three ate lunch together without incident. Under Snow Empress's guidance, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena walked into the hotel.
Only now did Dark Phoenix Douluo, Leng Yulai, have the chance to follow the group.
She looked at the smile at the corner of Snow Empress's mouth, her eyes shifting slightly.
Today, Lady Snow Empress seemed very happy?
Because she had taken on a disciple?
Leng Yulai looked at Huo Yuhao, her expression somewhat strange.
This kid had nothing to do with Extreme Ice, did he? Although given Lady Snow Empress's strength, she could certainly teach him, but why choose him?
Just because he passed the red level assessment?
Leng Yulai felt it was more than just that one reason.
"I've been staying here because of some matters related to Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua."
Snow Empress led the group out of the hotel, speaking as they walked. "I need two pieces of Heaven-Forge Metal. But Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua had previously performed Heaven Forging and was recuperating, so he couldn't do Heaven Forging for a while. That's why I've been here for some time."
Huo Yuhao nodded.
Heaven Forging required being struck by the thunder tribulation. Performing Heaven Forging unless you were a spirit master like Tang Wulin meant you had to recuperate for a while.
Also because of the thunder tribulation, a Divine Craftsman's forging career was very short. Zhen Hua had retired after teaching Tang Wulin Heaven Forging. A Title Douluo's forging career probably lasted less than twenty years. The reason was that he had been too battered by the thunder tribulation, causing his physical functions to decline. His Heaven Forging success rate was already very low.
Which Title Douluo could receive thunder tribulations every day?
Huo Yuhao's expression was somewhat strange.
Speaking of which in this era, besides human Battle Armor, there were also Battle Armors for spirit beasts. Demand for Heaven-Forge Metal had increased further... Was Zhen Hua still okay?
It had only been a few years. He could probably still hold up, right?
Walking onto the main street, two peerlessly beautiful women appeared in public, drawing quite a bit of attention. Someone in the crowd even exclaimed: "It's Tower Master Snow Empress! She really is in our Tiandou City, as rumored!"
Snow Empress's smile faded. Spatial power was about to rise from her, but before she could act, a spiritual domain had already spread from Huo Yuhao, and the four of them disappeared from sight.
"They disappeared!"
"Wait — who shouted just now? Drag him out and beat him up! Big shots from the Spirit Transmission Tower are rare to see. I wanted to get her autograph!"
"Isn't Tower Master Bear Lord right there in the Spirit Transmission Tower?"
"How is that the same? One has both beauty and strength, the other... ahem, ahem."
Feeling it might be inappropriate to continue, the speaker coughed lightly and fell silent.
Inside the spiritual domain, the four passed through the crowd. Huo Yuhao had established Spiritual Sharing with Snow Empress. His expression was strange. "No wonder you set up spatial power in the pavilion. You must have a lot of trouble with this daily."
Snow Empress nodded and sighed. "I'm quite famous among the common people."
Emperor Tian had been in the newspapers — even introduced in some textbooks. How could her fame be any less?
The Star Dou Great Forest had quite a few representative figures. For the Extreme North, she was the main one holding down the fort. Plus, she had spent too long sitting in Mingdu over the ten thousand years — there were inevitably some aftereffects.
If the Sea Princess were willing to emerge, she might not need to work so hard.
What a pity — the sea spirit beasts' home was the ocean. Their clan didn't really want to step onto land. You could see the problem from the fact that the Ten Great Savage Beasts had always ranked only mainland savage beasts.
While Snow Empress and Huo Yuhao were transmitting, Leng Yulai was frowning, her gaze tightly fixed on Huo Yuhao, her heart filled with shock.
She had sensed Huo Yuhao's spiritual power.
The Spirit Abyss realm?
How was that possible?!
At this age — even Yun Ming couldn't do it!
Her heart stirred. Leng Yulai looked toward Gu Yuena.
This girl — she had good taste. At least in terms of strength, he matched her.
Gu Yuena was still thinking about what Huo Yuhao had said just now she didn't notice Leng Yulai's gaze.
What did Yuhao mean by "an answer"?
She looked at Snow Empress. Eventually, her gaze landed on Huo Yuhao, not far beside her. She vaguely grasped something and pressed her lips together.
The Tiandou Blacksmithing Association building was one of the most striking landmark buildings in Tiandou City.
The four arrived in front of the association building. Only then did Huo Yuhao withdraw to his domain.
On the top floor, a middle-aged man who had sensed the appearance of powerful auras walked to the window, happened to be seeing this scene. His gaze instantly condensed on Huo Yuhao.
Level 36... about to break through to Level 37. And at such a young age, he already had a domain — and a spiritual attribute Body Martial Soul at that?
Most importantly — Spirit Abyss realm spiritual power!
The middle-aged man looked at Huo Yuhao with bright, almost excited eyes. He could barely contain his inner thoughts.
But after seeing Snow Empress, his expression instantly frozen.
Why... of all people, did it have to be the Spirit Transmission Tower?
While the middle-aged man's thoughts were unsettled, Huo Yuhao and the others stepped into the Blacksmithing Association. Leng Yulai found a staff member and asked:
"How is His Majesty Zhen Hua's health?"
"Your Majesty has recovered. Please come this way."
Clearly, Leng Yulai and Snow Empress had not not the first time here. The staff member promptly arranged for someone to lead them to Zhen Hua's office.
Zhen Hua's office was not decorated ornately — it was very simple.
A handsome middle-aged man with black hair and black eyes sat behind a desk. Seeing Snow Empress and Leng Yulai arrived, he stood, nodded, and pointed to the sofa beside him. "Tower Master Snow Empress, Your Majesty Dark Phoenix — and you two young ones — please sit."
"Your Majesty Zhen Hua — sorry to disturb you." Snow Empress exchanged a brief courtesy, then walked with the other three to sit on the sofa. "Regarding the Heaven Forging of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal — do you have any ideas?"
Zhen Hua: "..."
To be honest, Tower Master Snow Empress, I feel like you're putting me in a difficult position.
Ice Extreme Divine Crystal — this type of metal couldn't be bought on the market. It was too rare. There was simply no opportunity to practice with it. Even if you gave me the metal to study, it wouldn't help.
Zhen Hua smiled bitterly. "Tower Master Snow Empress, this isn't me shirking responsibility. But I truly am unable to accomplish this now. My Heaven Forging success rate is only twelve percent. And Ice Extreme Divine Crystal material is very precious. Ice Extreme Divine Crystal without an ice spirit is better used for Soul Forging. Those with an ice spirit can be used directly."
"Using it for me to practice Heaven Forging would be too wasteful."
