--- Chapter 252 ---
The all-terrain mobility car glided through the air. It didn't release any noise as the barrier canceled it, making the travel smooth.
As an avid Spirit Engineer or Spirit Guidance Master from the Spirit Guidance Department, He Caitou couldn't hold his curiosity.
The same goes for Luo Xing, another student from the Spirit Guidance Department. She had been checking Huo Yuhao out for over a week and was clearly charmed by him.
However, she also has a clear goal in her life.
They glanced at each other and nodded.
"Um, Sir Yuhao. I know this might sound rude, but I wanted to know how this transportation works." He Ciatou finally opened his mouth.
Huo Yuhao raised his brow and rubbed his chin amusingly, "Oh, I believe this was your first time formally talking to me?"
From the beginning of hellish training, He Caitou and Luo Xing have been very quiet. They endured everything Huo Yuhao had thrown at them and usually responded with one or three words.
He Caitou scratched his cheek awkwardly, "Yes."
"Are you also curious, Luo Xing?" Huo Yuhao asked the well-dressed lady beside He Caitou.
Luo Xing blushed a little, "We only wanted to know the theory behind it. You don't have to give us core information."
'Good.' Fan Yu, the instructor of He Caitou and Luo Xing, nodded at this sight because he taught them to think outside the box. They didn't need to know about full technology when theories could give them a more fundamentalistic understanding.
"Hmm, let's see..." Huo Yuhao thought about it for a second.
He smiled and commented, "You know I might not know a thing about this field, right?"
"I'm brute. I only know how to punch rock and stuff."
'That's such a blatant lie.' Everyone thought when looking at Huo Yuhao's annoying smile.
"Even if it's just a scrap of bread crumbs, it's still better than nothing." He Caitou replied decisively.
"Nice words." Huo Yuhao praised him.
"Well, it would take a while to reach Sky Feather City. I suppose giving you some pointers won't make this journey boring."
Huo Yuhao grabbed a bag of candy and grabbed a few before passing it to others, "Still, I must warn you that some terms I used might be unfamiliar because we used different Spirit Engineering."
"Understood!" He Caitou and Luo Xing answered simultaneously.
Huo Yuhao began explaining simple things like basic engineering and the usage of nature. Wind, heat, and electricity are weaker than Spirit Energy but are much more versatile, and everyone(even ordinary people) can use them.
He also taught them a lesson about the fire element and its appliances to Spirit Engineering. Fire is not just this cool trick fire-attributed Spirit Masters used to fight their enemies.
There are different temperatures.
How you ignite fire might lead to different results.
Everyone, including the teachers of Shrek Academy, listened to Huo Yuhao's lesson solemnly. It is like a gate of wonder to the new world is 'suddenly' opened for them.
Unfortunately, this is the basics.
Huo Yuhao wouldn't divulge something strategic like G-Reactor or MR-Cube, but using advanced alchemy to refine metal should be impressive enough for their eyes.
He created one kilogram of iron sand with [Heavenly Dao of Myriad Shape] and silently placed it into a pouch.
"Watch this." Huo Yuhao brought out the pouch and lifted his right arm, summoning a small flame.
It was a weak flame, barely enough to burn a kindling. Ma Xiaotao and other fire-attributed Spirit Masters squinted their eyes.
Wait, something is not right about this flame.
Huo Yuhao's fire affinity is horrendously low because of [Monk of Resistance] Class, but that doesn't mean he lost his skill.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Huo Yuhao showcased skillful control over the fire elements. The flame swirled and used the surrounding oxygen to shape itself.
The rapid reaction of burning happened, allowing the fire to burn intensely yet still contained in a ball-shaped domain.
Huo Yuhao grabbed the iron sand and tossed it into the burning flame, refining it with his Alchemy Technique.
His flame would burn anything into dust if used for attack, but the iron sand was 'slowly' pressured by the ball-shaped domain like how precious metal was born within the earth.
"If any of you are Blacksmith or Alchemist, you must find this process familiar."
"Yup, I'm refining iron sands into a weapon using pressure and heat." Huo Yuhao grinned at them. "Of course, this one is gonna be a Spirit Guidance Weapon with Dragon Nest's twist."
As the iron sand got refined into tempered steel, Huo Yuhao added a line of Runes on its body. "Form." He said casually.
BAM!
Huo Yuhao pulled something out, and everyone saw a shining short sword in his hand. The sheer gleam of the short sword makes Spirit Engineers in the all-terrain mobility cars rub their hands in excitement.
"Such a pure yet strong steel." Luo Xing mumbled. "And those unique engravings. They are not engraving used on the Douluo Continent."
"Yes. Those are runes." Huo Yuhao answered honestly.
"This one, in particular, allowed me to manipulate the gravity field."
"Like how the all-terrain mobility car floats in the air. And you didn't feel it because the surrounding space is 'actually' pressured by a device that I shall not name." A cheeky smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's face.
"How stingy." Wang Dong complained, and everyone agreed with her.
Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes at her, "Huush, adults are talking. You should go nap or something."
"Y-You." Wang Dong was speechless.
Huo Yuhao ignored her and added, "Shrek Academy sent their students to the Dragon Nest Academy, no? You will meet them and discover more about the wonder of science soon."
"But remember, the amount of knowledge you obtained might be negligible. There are so many things to learn within a limited time."
"I see..." Everyone nodded in understanding. The teachers especially hoped those exchange students brought incredible results.
Unfortunately for them, those students might change their affiliation soon, considering Dragon Nest is better at everything. It applies to every exchange student who experiences Dragon Nest's teaching firsthand.
...
As Huo Yuhao kept talking about simple scientific matters, he and some teachers suddenly detected the space ahead warped.
Crack!
A dimensional crack appeared out of nowhere and swallowed the all-terrain mobility car before it could change course or dodge.
BAM!
They crashed into a rocky mountain. Fortunately, no one got injured because of the barrier around the all-terrain mobility car.
[Ding! Congratulations on discovering one of the Douluo Continent's Three Blessed Lands]
[Once upon a time, the Dragon God and Dragon Clan fought an invasion of the Extraterrestrial Race in ancient times. They slaughtered every bit of them, soaking the land with their blood, bones, and flesh. Their dark souls condensed on this very piece of land, transforming it into a cursed yet Blessed Land]
[You have entered the 'The Yin-Yang Plain of Lush Grim!']
Huo Yuhao frowned because of Evo's notifications. He knew about the Douluo Continent's Three Blessed Lands, with Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and Yin-Yang Love Querying Valley being the most known in the original series.
However, Huo Yuhao never learned about the third Blessed Land because it was 'purposely' never mentioned in the series. Still, there is only one thing that could explain this event.
'Damn, my luck is overpowered.' Huo Yuhao thought to himself.
He glanced at others and said, "Let's get out first."
"Teachers, please protect the students. We don't know what kind of danger exists in this place."
Everyone nodded and slowly walked out of the all-terrain mobility car, finding a plain of grass-covered land of bones. The land is vast, but they couldn't see the end of it.
The weird thing about this land is the sun above them is dark with a crimson ring around it, making the gravity here many times heavier.
"Something is coming." Although Huo Yuhao has long sensed it, Elder Xuan Zi was the one who warned everyone. "Everyone, brace yourself!"
BOOM!
A massive entity landed on the ground before them. As the cloud of dust cleared, they could see a western dragon over fifteen feet made of vines-covered bones and leaves standing menacingly.
Huo Yuhao observed the dragon and said, "Interesting."
The dragon's eyes are a burning ball of green flame as it opens its leaves-covered mouth, "Humans, your arrival here will be judged by the God of Forest."
"Prepare for the misery of a trial!"
