As a former student of Shrek Academy, even though Xu Jiawei hadn't formally graduated, he still had some connections with a certain woman in the inner court, and thus, was privy to a small portion of Shrek Academy's secrets.
Even without considering those factors, as the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, the most critical part of his education since childhood was learning about the legendary battle between two gods that took place at Jialing Pass ten thousand years ago!
Sea God Tang San, who represented justice, defeated the evil Rakshasa God Bibi Dong and Angel God Qian Renxue, thereby preserving peace on the continent!
Naturally, this also safeguarded the vested interests of the nobility in the various empires. After all, if the Spirit Hall had unified the continent, there would no longer be any nobility—only Spirit Masters would hold the highest status and power.
Sea God Tang San's divine weapon was the Sea God's Trident, and his most famous technique was the Sea God's Light, which illuminated all things.
Within the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy, only the current Pavilion Master could wield the power of the Sea God's Light, gaining an unmatched and peerless strength in the human world!
Yet now, Huo Yuhao was also releasing the Sea God's Light, and behind him, the phantom of the Sea God had appeared. What was going on?
Could he be the next chosen successor of the Sea God Pavilion? But that didn't make sense—when he entered, it was mentioned that Huo Yuhao also had a background with the Body Sect. How could he be the successor of the Sea God Pavilion?
Shrek Academy's legacy in the Body Sect?
At that moment, beads of sweat appeared on Huo Yuhao's forehead. Such a lifelike simulation was not something he could accomplish on his own; his current spiritual power wasn't yet at that level.
In his spiritual sea, golden seawater surged with massive waves. At the crest of the waves, Electrolux held a golden staff condensed from the essence of the Skydream Iceworm, guiding Huo Yuhao's spiritual power to simulate the phantom of Tang San, the Sea God King.
Under Electrolux's guidance using divine senses, the Sea God phantom behind Huo Yuhao even carried a faint trace of divinity. A subtle, barely discernible aura emanated from it, shooting up toward the heavens.

In the Divine Realm, Sea God Hall.
"Tang San, press harder; I can't take it anymore!"
Xiao Wu's pink eyes glistened, filled with affection as she looked back at Tang San, who was massaging her with the Mysterious Jade Hand.
"Heh, this time, I'll let you, little rabbit, experience my Blue Silver Grass!" Tang San grinned mischievously, ready to pounce like a hungry wolf.
Just then, a golden beam of light shot toward them, intercepted directly by Tang San.
"Another request for the Sea God's Light? These juniors have been using it more and more frequently lately, interrupting me at times like this—how annoying!" Tang San waved his hand dismissively, and the golden beam of light suddenly expanded a hundredfold, shooting back in the direction it had come from.
"Go, go, use it all you want. The faster you use this life-draining power, the faster you'll die. The quicker you die, the sooner Mother can devour your cultivation and soul!"
Unaware of what he had just missed, Tang San shrugged indifferently, once again turning his gaze toward Xiao Wu, who had already shed her robe. He swallowed hard.
"Sweetheart, get ready for my Blue Silver Bind! Blue Silver Parasite! Blue Silver Emperor Spear!"

On the battlefield, the Sea God's Light released by Huo Yuhao illuminated the entire Star Luo Plaza. Even the audience sitting in the farthest corners could feel the warmth of this light.
Suddenly, the Sea God phantom behind him became more substantial. A brilliant golden beam shot skyward, and the light that once illuminated Star Luo Plaza suddenly expanded to cover the entire city, dyeing it in radiant gold.
"Pfft!"
Not far away, Xuan Zi, who had been lying flat on the roof of a building, suddenly sat up, spitting out the wine he had just swallowed.
"This… this is the true Sea God's Light!" Xuan Zi stretched out his hand, letting the warm light fall on it, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Damn, how did this kid manage it? Even I couldn't achieve this level with my own cultivation!" Xuan Zi exclaimed in shock. "Aside from Elder Mu, there's absolutely no one capable of releasing the Sea God's Light!"
To release the Sea God's Light, the Sea God Pavilion Master must first communicate with the Sea God King through the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. Such communication was incredibly taxing on both cultivation and spiritual power, as it involved compressing all of one's strength to its absolute limit and converting it into a trace of divine power.
This was why Tang San had mentioned that using the Sea God's Light shortened one's lifespan, as the extreme compression was a burden even for an Ultimate Douluo.
However, Electrolux had bypassed this conversion process through his divine senses, directly contacting the Divine Realm. Therefore, what Huo Yuhao released was no imitation—it was the true Sea God's Light!
The power of a god was terrifying. The protective shield covering the competition stage instantly shattered, indicating that the force Huo Yuhao had unleashed in that moment surpassed the combined efforts of the 108 soul masters responsible for guarding the stage!
"Teacher, this scene is too dramatic, isn't it?" Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded. This act of showing off had gone a bit too far!
"Yuhao, it seems I inadvertently established a connection with what your world calls the Divine Realm, and the power of the Sea God's Light came from there," Electrolux explained.
"The Divine Realm?!" Huo Yuhao was shocked. "Are you saying you contacted the Sea God?"
"It seems so, but he quickly severed the connection, only leaving behind this power of the Sea God's Light," Electrolux replied.
Calming himself, Huo Yuhao smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher, no matter what, let's refrain from using such methods again. At this point, it's best not to have any connection with that so-called Divine Realm."
He could feel the immense destructive power within the Sea God's Light. If he wished, he could turn the entire Star Luo Plaza into ruins. Yet, this was only a trivial portion of the power casually released by the Sea God King.
To stand against the Divine Realm, the path ahead of him was still long!
The phantom of the Sea God behind him suddenly dissipated, and the Sea God's Light vanished in an instant. Huo Yuhao, wielding the Mysterious Heavy Sword, transformed into a black whirlwind and charged into the midst of the seven members of the Heavenly Spirit Academy, sweeping them all off the stage.
Standing with his hands behind his back, his black robe fluttering in the wind, Huo Yuhao looked calmly at the referee, who stood there dumbfounded, and said, "The match is over."
"Ah?" The referee finally snapped out of his daze. Behind him, the 108 soul masters responsible for guarding the competition stage had all been knocked to the ground.
The massive Star Luo Plaza, which could accommodate tens of thousands of spectators—including the Star Luo Empire's royal family, civil and military officials, and over a hundred top-level soul masters and soul engineer academies—had fallen into dead silence.
Many people had previously thought it impossible when they saw the seven hundred-thousand-year soul rings, but now, there was hesitation, shock, and perhaps even fear or hysterical excitement in that sentiment.
The name Huo Yuhao was deeply engraved in their minds.
Huo Yuhao turned slowly, facing the other academies below, and calmly said, "Body Spirits are unrivaled in this world. Anyone with a Body Spirit who joins my Body Sect will obtain the power to dominate the world!"
After finishing, the seven blood-red hundred-thousand-year soul rings on his body quietly receded as he stepped off the stage.
There was no need to wait for the referee to announce the result—victory had already been decided.
