--- Chapter 257 ---
Huo Yuhao looked at the Shrek Academy's group. They are staring at him like he is an alien or something.
Even Ma Xiaotao and Bei Bei, who have witnessed Huo Yuhao spar with Mu En, felt his fight with the God of Forest was on another level.
If Huo Yuhao's spar with Mu En was the fight of peak mortals. Then, Huo Yuhao's short but dimensional-breaking fight with the God of Forest was a Man Against the Gods.
The only exceptions are Yang Xin(Scathach) and Qianye Ying'er because they weren't so surprised about Huo Yuhao's prowess. They are curious about how he cultivated this new power(Moon's Piercer and Monk of Resistance).
"Okay, stop giving me that look." Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly.
"The power I've shown earlier was part of Dragon Nest's Secret Technique."
"It's called God Slayer Art."
'What a liar!' Scathach and Qianye Ying'er rolled their eyes. After all, They have been in the Dragon Nest since it was 'literally' founded. They would know if the Secret Technique that Huo Yuhao executed earlier existed.
More so, the God Slayer Art Huo Yuhao mentioned was 'majorly' created by the first God Slayer herself, Scathach. He'd be lying straight on her face, which caused her mouth to twitch in disbelief.
"At the cost of burning my lifespan, I can release battle power exceeding my cultivation level. As you can see, I can't fight for too long." Huo Yuhao added with an innocent face.
'Oh, really? From what I see, you're playing around with the God of Forest, Yuhao! You look so relaxed for someone who burned his lifespan.' Qianye Ying'er couldn't believe her ears.
Even Huo Yuhao's Spirit Souls cringed inside the Spiritual World.
'Daddy is so bad...' Helena mumbled while being hugged by Eluxia.
Tian Meng and Bing Di didn't even have a comment for Huo Yuhao. They could only give him 3/10 for his improvisation.
As if deflecting all logic, Huo Yuhao's lies are effective.
"What! Dragon Nest possessed such a Secret Technique?" Xuan Zi and the other Title Douluo were shocked. "To achieve strength above the Wild God, it must have a lot of restrictions besides burning lifespan."
"God Slayer Art." Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and He Caitou glanced at each other in amazement. From the name alone, they could sense the overbearing nature.
Meanwhile, the girls are more worried about Huo Yuhao losing his lifespan.
"Yuhao, are you alright?" Zhang Lexuan was the fastest. She is worried for his well-being.
Girl, not even an existence Godking could make Huo Yuhao sweat.
Ma Xiaotao and Xiao Xiao arrived after Zhang Lexuan, followed by Wang Dong, who had a complicated expression.
Huo Yuhao smiled, "I'm fine. I only lost a few years of my lifespans, which were worth it because I can protect all of you."
The girls blushed and felt touched by his words.
Yes, they couldn't comprehend how a guy like Huo Yuhao existed.
Even Huo Yuhao didn't realize how misleading his lies were, as everything seemed natural. Unknown to Huo Yuhao, the God of Lust's Position isn't a simple sex-powered divinity because his charm and personality have changed a little.
Of course, Huo Yuhao is still him. He's just more playboy and free when it comes to seducing the opposite gender.
Huo Yuhao suddenly recalled something and gathered the Extraterrestrial Race's essence. Since the Shrek Academy's group has done their task wonderfully, they deserve these essences, which is the reward of this Secret Realm.
Huo Yuhao split the massive glob of essence and sealed them onto their bodies. "That's the Extraterrestrial Race's essence, which could strengthen one's physique and bloodline."
"It also has a huge chance to transform your Martial Soul."
"I've split them equally and sealed them into your bodies, so absorb it at your own pace."
"Trust me, you will see a miraculous change."
Everyone in the Shrek Academy's group gasped in shock as absorbing a tiny portion of the Extraterrestrial Race's essence allowed them to feel an immense energy in their bodies.
This immense energy is a beacon of light, causing their bodies and blood to advance higher. They couldn't help but smile in excitement. The pain and horror they went through were actually worth it.
After that, Huo Yuhao also healed them with the Heavenly Dao of Life.
...
They only stayed in the Yin-Yang Plain of the Lush Grim for less than ten minutes, but the time outside indicated the sun was about to go down.
"How can this be?" They were shocked.
Even Huo Yuhao found the time dilation a little ridiculous.
'I have to find a way to modify this Secret Realm somehow. This place is a literal strategic resource.' Huo Yuhao thought while rubbing his chin.
He glanced at Scathach and Qianye Ying'er and found the thoughtful expression on their faces. It seems they are thinking the same thing.
"Everyone, I will seal this Secret Realm off." Huo Yuhao suddenly said.
"You have seen how dangerous this place was, so we couldn't let the Extraterrestrial Race have a taste of the outside world..."
"Wait, I thought you had killed the Wild God?" Wang Dong couldn't help but question him. Everyone was also puzzled by Huo Yuhao's words.
Huo Yuhao gave them a funny look and chuckled, "What I killed was the Secret Realm's spirit, which controls the place. However, the Secret Realm won't die even if we killed the Wild God."
"After all, this place is a Heavenly Treasure formed by the condensation of worldly essence."
Xuan Zi's eyes lit up, "So you mean the Extraterrestrial Race will slowly recover?"
"Yup." Huo Yuhao nodded. "But I don't know how long it would take, maybe a year or a decade."
"To be honest, Tang Sect's disciples should know more as you guys possessed information about a certain Heavenly Treasure like this."
Tang Ya opened her little mouth and answered softly, "A-About that, we lost the record about it..."
"..." Huo Yuhao.
Thank Gods. The Quest's Reward gave him the location of the Sunset Forest, where the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well exists, not Tang Ya.
Tang Ya was embarrassed, "Stop judging me with that gaze, uugh."
"Tang Sect has been declining in the past hundred years. We barely met this year's goal and recruited new members, if not for those despicable people..."
Everyone could hear deep, sinister hatred in Tang Ya's voice for a split second.
But Tang Ya quickly covered it and added, "Yuhao, the current Tang Sect is just an ant compared to your Dragon Nest."
Huo Yuhao smiled at her response, "Then, you must work hard, Senior Tang. For your Tang Sect and unsolvable wishes."
"We will do it together." Bei Bei grasped Tang Ya's soft hand.
Tang Ya's eyes became watery as she nodded, "Mm."
"Good, let's seal this Secret Realm and resume our journey. We are really a little late in our schedule." Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
Huo Yuhao tightly sealed the Yin-Yang Plain of Lush Grim with three-layer of Primordial Runes and summoned another All-Terrain Mobility Car, so they could continue their journey to the Sky Feather City.
On their way there, the Shrek Seven Devils and Teacher fell asleep due to excessive mental fatigue. They have witnessed a world-breaking event in the Yin-Yang Plain of Lush Grim.
Huo Yuhao might have healed their battered bodies, but he couldn't do the same for their mentality.
"Pfft." Qianye Ying'er giggled when she saw sleeping Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao pressing themselves against Huo Yuhao. They are sleeping very daringly on his shoulders.
"Don't laugh..." Huo Yuhao helplessly sighed.
"Serve you right, running your mouth." Scathach snorted at him.
"Whatever." Huo Yuhao shook his head and finally decided to check his loot. However, Huo Yuhao was speechless when he skimmed over the plundered loot and rewards.
"Woah, this is amazing."
