"Do you have a strange fire?"
This not only surprised Yao Lao but also greatly astonished Huo Yuhao.
Damn, the original didn't even mention that Electrolux still had a different fire in his hands. Has the world line changed again? Could it be that all of this is part of that person's plan?
"In fact, there are many planes in this world, each one being a planet and a main world. Some are in the same space as us, while others are not in the same space."
"And during my lifetime, relying on my own power, I created some relatively small worlds, which I call semi-planes. Among them, one of the planes has a structure and laws that are quite complete, so I stored all the undead creatures I summoned inside it."
"Over time, the aura on these undead creatures combined with the power of the plane itself, condensing a strange flame at the center of the plane, which should be the origin fire you mentioned. However, even I find it extremely difficult to trace the whereabouts of that strange flame because it has its own consciousness. It has been playing hide-and-seek with me in the semi-plane to prevent me from destroying it."
"If you are willing to agree to create a body that can accommodate my consciousness in the future, then I can take you into my undead semi-plane to find that kind of different fire. How about it, is this deal fair?"
After listening to Electrolux's words, Yao Lao also fell into silence. Frankly speaking, he was not willing to let such an unexpected guest reside in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, after all, if Electrolux really had any other intentions, Huo Yuhao would be in danger of being possessed at any time.
But unfortunately, this person still controls a kind of origin fire, which is an absolutely indispensable resource for Huo Yuhao's cultivation of the Incineration Technique.
Yao Lao's concerns were not unreasonable, but Huo Yuhao, who had the perspective of a god, knew that Electrolux, like Yao Lao, was a respected elder.
Yao Lao was willing to sacrifice himself to let his disciple be taken away by the Spirit Hall, while Electrolux was even willing to burn his last trace of consciousness for his disciple. For these two, Huo Yuhao had no reason to worry.
"Yao Lao and Electrolux are teaching me at the same time, learning both soul power and magic. Wow, what a combo, what's next, melee mage making tofu?" Huo Yuhao couldn't help but complain inwardly.
"Since you possess a origin fire, why not let me and Yuhao go to that so-called undead semi-plane to take a look? If we confirm that it is indeed a different fire, then our deal can be reached," Yao Lao said calmly.
Electrolux responded, his tone tinged with a hint of bitterness, "I'm sorry, but I don't have the ability to open the undead semi-plane right now. You saw it yourself, I'm just a wisp of consciousness, unable to even manifest a physical form. I need to recover some of my strength before I can take you into the undead semi-plane."
"It's okay, I can refine some Soul Nourishing Saliva to help repair the damaged part of your so-called consciousness, and it just so happens that I also want to stabilize my soul body," Yao Lao said. "However, although the grade of Soul Nourishing Saliva is not too high, it's only about fifth grade, and the refining process is not complicated. But the medicinal materials needed to refine Soul Nourishing Saliva are too rare, so, Yuhao."
Huo Yuhao understood Yao Lao's intentions as soon as he heard the song, so how could he not know what Yao Lao wanted to say? He confidently patted his chest and exclaimed, "No problem, teacher. I'll go to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion tonight and have them search for the alchemy materials. Right now, I have nothing else, just money!"
"Hehe, you rascal," Yao Lao chuckled. "Alright then, sir, when I refine the Soul Nourishing Saliva to help you recover some of the damage to your consciousness, we can continue discussing this deal. But if you have any thoughts of harming Yuhao during this time, don't blame me for being rude."
Electrolux also smiled faintly at these words and said, "The experiences of this young man seem somewhat similar to mine in the past. I, too, was filled with hatred and anger, which ultimately led to unimaginable disasters. Huo Yuhao, don't let hatred blind your eyes. Once you do something irreparable, you will regret it for the rest of your life and never be able to make amends."
"Hatred for killing one's mother is irreconcilable!" Huo Yuhao responded coldly.
"You may act on impulse, killing all those who deserve it, but you must not let this hatred ferment. I've scanned your memories, and for you, only the people of the Duke's Mansion of the White Tiger are your enemies. However, your anger and hatred seem to have shifted to the entire Star Luo Empire, which is very dangerous. Revenge is permissible, but do not harm innocent people," Electrolux said softly.
"Alright, my consciousness feels a bit weary and needs to continue sleeping. Hopefully, the next time I awaken, we will both have obtained what we desire."
"With the sun and moon in my grasp, there's no one else like me in the world! Hahaha!"
Amidst hearty laughter, the grayness in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea receded like a tide. In just a moment, everything returned to normal, and the gray bead remained in its original position.
"Yuhao, what he said actually makes sense. Although seeking revenge is important to you, you must not fall into the path of evil. Otherwise, it will inevitably lead to unbearable consequences," Yao Lao said before withdrawing his soul power back into the black ring.
Before leaving, Yao Lao hesitated for a moment, then seemed to mimic Electrolux tone and said, "May there be no suffering in the world, why bother with medicine gathering dust on the shelf. Hahaha."
Huo Yuhao: ...
Tian Meng: ??
*cough* "I soar above the world, who can rival me in this mortal realm! Hahaha. Brother Tianmeng I'm also leaving now."
With a swoosh, Huo Yuhao's figure also disappeared from the spiritual sea, leaving poor Tian Meng floundering in the wind.
"Damn, do you all bully me because I'm a soul beast who didn't go to school? Just wait, when I learn poetry, I'll have to write poems to scold you! Too much bullying of beasts!"
The next morning, it was another sunny and beautiful day. The moisture from the Sea God's Lake purified the air of the entire Shrek Academy, giving it a very fresh feeling.
All the newly admitted students who passed the assessment gathered in Shrek Plaza, awaiting the upcoming class allocation.
Soon, Director Du Weilun of the Martial Soul Department arrived with a dozen or so teachers. Huo Yuhao's class teacher, Mu Jin, and Wang Yan were among them. However, when Huo Yuhao looked at the two of them and greeted them with a smile, he noticed that their smiles seemed somewhat forced.
A gleam flickered in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and a thoughtful smile appeared on his lips.
This plot seems somewhat familiar, doesn't it?
