Chapter 24: The Emperor's Beast
Accompanied by Yan Shaozhe, Huo Yuhao went directly to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Silver Eagle Beast is a Spirit Beast that only operates within the core area, and occasionally they might be found in the mixed zone.
Ten days passed in a flash, but Huo Yuhao and Yan Shaozhe still failed to find a Silver Eagle Beast of around fifty thousand years, though they did see two of thirty thousand years.
Yan Shaozhe was also surprised the first time he saw a Silver Eagle Beast. According to Shrek Academy's records, the Silver Eagle Beast had long been extinct, so he didn't expect there to be remnants in the core area.
This was the longest Huo Yuhao had ever searched for a Spirit Beast. Even with the blessing of Destiny Power, searching for a specific fifty-thousand-year-old Spirit Beast was still too difficult.
"Yuhao, don't be impatient. Sometimes it's normal to take one or two months to find a suitable spirit ring."
Yan Shaozhe looked at Huo Yuhao, who was frequently using mental detection, and comforted him.
"Found it, 2700 meters to the front left. It's most likely a sixty-thousand-year-old Silver Eagle Beast."
"Is sixty thousand years a bit too high? Will there be any problem with absorbing it? Should we keep looking?"
Yan Shaozhe looked at Huo Yuhao with some concern. It was ten thousand years higher than the original estimate, which was a bit risky.
"Don't worry, being ten thousand years over is still within my estimation," Huo Yuhao responded.
"Then I'll make my move."
At this moment, a large dog covered in scales was leisurely searching for food, enjoying itself.
Suddenly, a white light appeared in front of it. Before it could react, it was severely injured by a single strike from a phoenix phantom and lay on the ground, barely clinging to life.
Yan Shaozhe picked up the Silver Eagle Beast, which had only one breath left, and returned to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao did not hesitate, immediately striking the killing blow to the Silver Eagle Beast, and a black spirit ring slowly rose.
"Dean Yan, please guard me." After speaking, Huo Yuhao pulled the spirit ring over and began to absorb it.
"Brother Tianmeng, please temporarily seal the portion of energy that exceeds the absorption limit."
"No problem, Yuhao. Just absorb it with peace of mind."
After finishing his conversation with Tianmeng Iceworm, Huo Yuhao began to endure the first wave of impact from the spirit ring's energy on his body.
Although the total energy slightly exceeded the limit, the impact intensity was still within the endurance range of his meridians.
Over the past six months, as spirit gold continuously enhanced Huo Yuhao's physical strength, the resilience of his meridians also greatly improved.
Seeing Huo Yuhao slowly beginning to absorb the energy from the spirit ring, Yan Shaozhe temporarily breathed a sigh of relief.
As the spirit ring energy Huo Yuhao absorbed gradually reached saturation, Huo Yuhao did not directly ask Tianmeng Iceworm for help.
Instead, he used the overflowing energy to absorb a small amount, causing injuries, and then used spirit gold to recover from the injuries and enhance his physical strength.
This scared Yan Shaozhe, who was guarding him, quite a bit, fearing that Huo Yuhao might not hold on and explode.
Three hours gradually passed. As the remaining energy became somewhat uncontrollable, Huo Yuhao had Tianmeng Iceworm take action and seal it within his Spirit Sea.
Yan Shaozhe saw Huo Yuhao finish absorbing the spirit ring, and only then did his heart settle a bit. This entire afternoon had scared him so much that his spirit power was a bit unstable.
Huo Yuhao was now the next Sea Gods Pavilion Master and the founder of the battle armor. If something happened to him in the Star Dou Great Forest due to his carelessness, he wouldn't be able to explain it when he returned.
"Yuhao, you scared me to death. Don't be so adventurous next time."
Yan Shaozhe could no longer maintain his dignified demeanor and quickly stepped forward to check Huo Yuhao's condition.
After confirming that everything was fine, Yan Shaozhe completely relaxed, and his breathing rhythm also slowed down considerably.
"Dean Yan, don't worry, I had it under control. My spirit power has now increased to level 43, and the gains from this adventure are significant."
The energy in a sixty-thousand-year Spirit Beast's spirit ring was immense. If Huo Yuhao hadn't possessed an ultimate Spirit, he probably could have advanced to level 45.
"Yuhao, you are now the youngest Spirit Ancestor in the history of our Shrek Academy. At this rate, in a few more years, your strength as the next Pavilion Master will probably meet the requirements."
Listening to Yan Shaozhe's words, Huo Yuhao smiled noncommittally.
It was a bit of a pity that because the Silver Eagle Beast died too peacefully, no Spirit Bone was dropped.
"Let's go, Yuhao. Let's leave the Star Dou Great Forest first and test the effects of your Spirit Ability back at the Academy."
The core area of the Star Dou Great Forest had many fierce beasts. Yan Shaozhe himself was taking a risk by bringing Huo Yuhao here, as he did not have the ability to fully protect Huo Yuhao in the core area.
The reason he dared to bring Huo Yuhao was because Yan Shaozhe had a trump card given by Mu En in his hand. If they were truly surrounded by fierce beasts, he could summon Mu En and let Huo Yuhao escape first.
On the way back, Huo Yuhao used some of his mental force to introspect, and his meridians were strengthened again during this absorption process.
Coupled with the origin sealed by Ice Empress, his cultivation speed before level 60 would not be much slower than that of a normal Spirit Master with innate full spirit power.
However, when passing through the mixed zone, Huo Yuhao felt a premonition from Destiny Power.
"Dean Yan, prepare for battle and contact Elder Mu."
Huo Yuhao immediately made a decision. In the entire Star Dou Great Forest, there were only two beings that Destiny Power would pay such close attention to.
One was the eighty-nine-thousand-year-old Golden-eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, also known as the Beast God.
The other was the co-ruler of Spirit Beasts, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, who was recuperating in the Lake of Life.
When Huo Yuhao discovered the light-type Spirit Beast in his mental detection range, he knew who he had encountered.
Following closely behind it into the mental detection range was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, this Spirit Beast cultivation accelerator.
"Dean Yan, act! Catch that golden lion!"
Yan Shaozhe, who was already prepared to act, immediately moved and captured it upon hearing the command.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao concealed himself, and the unique aura of Heaven and Earth Leveling spread out.
And in his original spot, he left behind a figure wearing a mask, with nine spirit rings floating behind him: two yellow, two purple, two black, and three red.
Looking at the golden lion held in Yan Shaozhe's hand, a dark red lion with three large heads immediately spoke in anxious human words:
"Put her down! If your Shrek Academy doesn't want to go to war with the Star Dou Great Forest, then you'd best not harm her."
"Oh? It seems she's quite important to your Star Dou Great Forest. Then we'll have to discuss terms properly."
Saying this, Huo Yuhao fully activated the Heaven and Earth Leveling aura with his half-step Divine Origin Realm mental force, and a Limit Douluo's aura enveloped the entire area.
The three-headed lion retreated two steps, unsure when Shrek Academy had produced another Limit Douluo, and immediately spoke to Yan Shaozhe:
"Yan Shaozhe, what is the meaning of this from your Shrek Academy? Are you really planning to start a war?"
Yan Shaozhe, who recognized the identity of the Spirit Beast before him, responded with a feigned casualness.
"Red King, as the lowest ranked among the ten great fierce beasts, I'm afraid you don't get to decide about starting a war."
