Chapter 13: Mirror Shadow Beast Left Metacarpal Bone
A translucent blue left palm bone remained within the Mirror Shadow Beast's corpse.
After Huo Yuhao retrieved it, he immediately began to merge with it.
Although this left palm bone was only twenty thousand years old, as an external Spirit Bone that was not one of the six major Spirit Bones, it could not only improve with the Spirit Master's cultivation but also increase its age by absorbing Spirit Bones of the same type.
Having the experience of absorbing the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's Spirit Bone, Huo Yuhao easily absorbed this Mirror Shadow Beast's left palm bone.
It brought Huo Yuhao the ability to replicate one Spirit Ability from others.
The Spirit Ability brought by the Mirror Shadow Beast's spirit ring that Huo Yuhao absorbed was also to replicate one Spirit Ability from others.
With two replication skills, Huo Yuhao was in a very good mood.
This meant that Huo Yuhao could store two Spirit Abilities, and one of them would not need to be replenished by finding another Spirit Master; as long as he used the Spirit Bone to replicate the released Spirit Ability again, he could achieve an infinite loop.
If Huo Yuhao absorbed a Silver Eagle Beast's spirit ring in his fourth ring, then Huo Yuhao could freely change the Spirit Abilities of the third and fourth rings.
The solidification of a Spirit Master's Spirit Abilities had always been a significant drawback in Huo Yuhao's eyes, meaning that in front of Spirit Masters who knew your intelligence, you would fall into extreme passivity.
Huo Yuhao, having absorbed the Spirit Bone, completed all the objectives of his trip and immediately set off to leave the Extreme North Land.
From asking for leave to depart Shrek Academy until his return now, a month and a half had passed, nearing the deadline he had agreed upon with Fan Yu.
Huo Yuhao's speed on his return journey was much faster; possessing the ultimate ice Spirit, he was already able to withstand the cold of the Extreme North Land.
Five days before the two-month deadline, Huo Yuhao finally returned to Shrek Academy.
Upon entering Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao walked towards the new student dormitory building.
Because it was still class time in the morning, there were no students near the dormitory building, only an old man lying on a lounge chair.
"Grandpa, I'm back from my leave. Are you sunbathing here?" Huo Yuhao greeted Mu En.
"Mm, hurry back to your dorm. Your dorm hasn't been lived in for a while," Mu En replied indifferently.
"Huh?" Huo Yuhao was a little puzzled. He quickly took out his dorm key, opened the door, and looked inside. Sure enough, the dorm was covered in a layer of dust again.
"Wang Dong hasn't returned to live here for so long?" Huo Yuhao felt a bit strange, but he didn't think much of it. He took out a rag and broom and cleaned the dorm again.
At the dorm entrance, Mu En let out a soft "hmm."
"Such strong mental force, but it's not a Spirit Beast transforming into human form, so let him be."
After a soft murmur, Mu En, who had just slightly raised his body, lay back down in the lounge chair.
After cleaning the dorm, Huo Yuhao rested for a while, then prepared to go find Fan Yu to cancel his leave.
He had said goodbye to Tang Ya before he left, telling her that if Teacher Fan Yu asked, she should say that Senior Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei had arranged for a Spirit Master to take him to hunt for his second spirit ring.
Knocking on the door of Fan Yu's office, Huo Yuhao opened the door and walked in.
"Yuhao, have you obtained your second spirit ring? If you haven't found a suitable Spirit Beast, I'll have you and your senior go with you."
Fan Yu saw Huo Yuhao arrive and temporarily shifted his gaze from the spirit tool.
"Teacher Fan Yu, my improvement this time is quite significant. You need to be mentally prepared," Huo Yuhao said, needing Fan Yu to brace himself.
"You brat, you're playing riddles with me now. Come, let Teacher see how much you've improved this time."
Fan Yu replied somewhat dismissively, not thinking Huo Yuhao could have any improvement significant enough to shock him.
Until he saw three spirit rings, yellow, purple, and black, floating around Huo Yuhao's body.
"Yuhao, you're Level 30? This spirit ring configuration, how did you absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring in the third ring?"
Fan Yu asked in shock. He admitted that Huo Yuhao was right; he did need some mental preparation.
"The original target this time was a Spirit Beast called an Ice Silkworm from the Extreme North Land. Getting the Ice Silkworm spirit ring was relatively smooth before that."
"But after obtaining it, I encountered a ten-thousand-year-level Mirror Shadow Beast. In a life-and-death crisis, my Spiritual Eye Spirit underwent a secondary awakening."
"Perhaps because of the secondary awakening's improvement, my spirit power increased tremendously, directly reaching Level 28, and my mental force also became several times stronger."
"And that Spirit Beast seemed to have been injured by the Spirit Master senior who took me to get the spirit ring, and was finally killed by my mental force with a finishing blow."
"After it died, it produced a left palm bone. That senior already had a left arm bone, so that left palm bone was absorbed by me, and my spirit power consequently reached Level 30."
"That senior said that I could already absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, so I absorbed that Mirror Shadow Beast's spirit ring."
After Fan Yu finished listening to Huo Yuhao's story, he fell silent.
This story, comparable to a fairy tale, was truly hard to believe, yet it seemed to be the only way to explain everything.
"Yuhao, can you show me the secondary awakening of your original Spirit?" Fan Yu asked with some curiosity.
"No problem." After Huo Yuhao finished speaking, he activated the secondary awakening of his Spiritual Eye Spirit, and incidentally added a wave of luck to himself.
Looking at Huo Yuhao, who was enveloped in golden light, Fan Yu believed his words.
Huo Yuhao felt that his fabricated story was better than the original Huo Yuhao's, and Fan Yu was quite likely to believe it.
"Yuhao, I'll go cancel your leave in a moment. Do you have anything else?" Fan Yu felt he needed to calm down and was about to let Huo Yuhao leave first.
"Teacher, there is one more thing. Actually, I have twin spirits. My second Spirit is the ultimate ice. This time, I also obtained a spirit ring when I went to the Extreme North Land. The new student assessment is coming soon, and I wanted to let you know."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao switched to his Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Spirit, and a spirit ring disguised as black rose, causing the temperature of the entire office to drop significantly.
Fan Yu was already somewhat numb with shock at this point.
"I understand, Yuhao. Go back and rest early. I'll arrange the rest."
After Fan Yu finished speaking, he watched Huo Yuhao leave, then could no longer restrain himself and burst into laughter.
Fan Yu had never even dared to dream that such a genius could become his disciple, yet it had actually happened today.
However, considering the consistent practices of the Martial Soul Department, Fan Yu decided to go find Vice Dean Qian Duoduo first, to prevent the Martial Soul Department from trying to snatch the person later.
Even though Huo Yuhao's previous remarks had somewhat eased the relationship between the two departments, on the issue of a genius of this level, even if they were as close as family, they would still fight.
Huo Yuhao had been busy in the Extreme North Land for over a month and was already physically and mentally exhausted. He fell into a sound sleep as soon as he returned to the dormitory.
Huo Yuhao planned to test his spirit power tomorrow after class.
After absorbing the third spirit ring, the metal spirit power detection orb in his hand could no longer detect his spirit power level.
