Chapter 118 The contrast between Black Huo Yuhao and Black Shrek before and after obtaining the Ice Emperor Martial Soul is too great!
[The scene flashes back to the previous dark world footage, after Huo Yuhao was rejected as a core disciple.]
[In the scene, Huo Yuhao walks alone by Shrek Lake, his silhouette appearing extremely desolate.]
He was clearly very sad and upset; his once bright eyes were now bloodshot.
He simply couldn't understand why, despite giving his all in the freshman competition, he still only received the cold assessment from Shrek Academy's higher-ups that he was "mediocre in talent" and "not worth developing."
However, reality didn't give him much time to wallow in self-pity; new events soon occurred.
The freshman competition has concluded, and due to the elimination of a large number of unqualified students, the entire first-year class has undergone reassignment.
After the class assignments were completed, Wang Yan became Huo Yuhao's new homeroom teacher.
However, in the competition for the position of class monitor, Huo Yuhao once again suffered humiliation from his classmates.
[As it turns out, it wasn't just the higher-ups at Shrek Academy who looked down on Huo Yuhao; even his rivals never gave him genuine respect.]
When Huo Yuhao's name appeared on the list of candidates for class monitor, a chorus of disdainful whispers rippled through the classroom.
The hot-tempered Wu Feng was the first to jump out, pointing his finger at Huo Yuhao in protest.
"You think you're qualified to be class monitor? There are so many people in the class, how can you possibly compete with anyone?"
The Soul Masters of the Underworld, witnessing this scene, spoke with deep sympathy.
"It's terrible, it's really terrible. In the white world, Huo Yuhao is admired by everyone, but in the black world, he gets pointed at and scolded even for being a class monitor."
"Our Huo Yuhao from the underworld looks really pathetic. He's worlds apart from the Huo Yuhao from the white world who controls order with a wave of his hand."
Among the crowd, Wu Feng, Ning Tian, and Cui Yajie from the Black World sat together.
Looking at his own aggressive reflection in the sky, Wu Feng felt no remorse whatsoever; instead, he raised an eyebrow.
"Tell me, is there anything wrong with what I said?" Wu Feng sneered.
"With such a low soul power level, what makes him think he can compete for class monitor?"
"If it were Huo Yuhao from the White World with double pupils, I would naturally admire him. But what makes this frail Huo Yuhao from our Black World so special?"
[The video continues playing on the screen.]
Faced with Wu Feng's public humiliation, Huo Yuhao finally expressed his dissatisfaction and invited Wu Feng to the Soul Arena for a duel.
However, reality is cruel.
In their initial exchange, Huo Yuhao was severely overwhelmed by Wu Feng's raging dragon fire.
In a one-on-one fight, his stats are completely inferior to Wu Feng's.
Fortunately, at the most crucial moment of the battle, an extremely ancient and profound fluctuation arose within Huo Yuhao's body.
[A soul entity that claimed to "hold the sun and moon in its hands and pluck the stars from the sky"—Electra—awakened at this moment.]
This soul entity possessed immense power; with just a wisp of its spirit, it easily helped Huo Yuhao defeat Wu Feng.
[Furthermore, Electrolux directly occupied a large portion of the core space within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.]
[Judging from the conversation between Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and him, even someone as powerful as Tianmeng Ice Silkworm seems to be extremely wary of this suddenly appearing gray-robed old man.]
The Soul Masters of the Underworld were once again in shock.
"Electrolux? What an arrogant tone."
"It seems that Huo Yuhao from the underworld has many opportunities. Although he still looks weak now, he already has the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and this Ilex inside him. Given time, he can really grow stronger."
"But thinking about it this way, Huo Yuhao in the White World must also possess Electrolux, right? I wonder what kind of story will unfold after Huo Yuhao in the White World sees the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm."
[The screen rotates, showing Huo Yuhao's arduous life over the next few months.]
He maintained an extremely diligent state of cultivation.
Therefore, by the end of the semester, he not only became a Level 1.5 Soul Master, but his Soul Power also finally reached Level 20.
Although this leveling speed seemed as slow as a tortoise in the White World, the almost self-torturing efforts of the Black Huo Yuhao in the scene moved many Black Soul Masters.
They felt that Huo Yuhao deserved a promotion because he had suffered too much.
Many Soul Masters in the underworld even felt a pang of sympathy upon seeing this.
"When will Huo Yuhao finally make a comeback? Judging from the current progress, he's still a long way from becoming a core disciple."
Just after the holiday arrived, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm announced that she would take Huo Yuhao to the far north to obtain his second spirit ring.
Huo Yuhao went alone, and it was this journey to the far north that brought about a complete transformation in him.
In the core area of the far north, he not only received the sacrifice of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, one of the three Heavenly Kings of the far north, gaining a top-tier ultimate ice martial soul and a 400,000-year-old soul bone, but also completely improved his physique under the baptism of the Ice Emperor's power.
This time, he finally became a true top genius.
"Hei Yuhao is really getting better now!" The Soul Masters of the Underworld finally showed a smile. "Ultimate Ice, dual Martial Souls, plus Tianmeng and Ilex within him, this configuration is simply outrageous."
"However... according to this logic, it seems that Shrek Academy later restored him to the status of a core disciple not because of a change of heart, but because he had become so strong that the academy could not ignore him."
"It seems we overestimated Shrek's leadership."
"This is not training at all; it's blatant speculation and profiteering."
"I really wonder how thick-skinned those elders will be when they realize they misjudged Huo Yuhao and turn around to curry favor with him."
Huo Yuhao returned to Shrek Academy with newfound power.
During a test, his awe-inspiring extreme ice power and terrifying 400,000-year-old spirit ring aura were directly exposed.
Instantly, the entire Shrek Academy was plunged into unprecedented shock.
The attitudes of those previously disdainful and aloof elders of the Martial Soul system completely changed in an instant.
They surrounded Huo Yuhao as if he were a priceless treasure, showering him with generous offers, the title of core disciple, and even the position of future heir, piling them before him like cheap commodities, frantically inviting him to wholeheartedly join the Martial Soul Department.
This scene is full of absurd irony.
The Soul Masters of the Underworld looked on with disgust and revulsion.
"I knew it... These martial spirit type guys change their minds faster than flipping through a book."
"They used to call him a good-for-nothing, but now that he's successful, they're rushing to fawn over him?"
"This so-called attention is truly nauseating. If it weren't for his extraordinary encounter in the far north, Huo Yuhao would probably still be nobody's concern, right?"
"All I can say is that Shrek Academy in the dark world is just too 'realistic.' While there's nothing wrong with being 'realistic,' for an academy, the difference in how they treat the same student from beginning to end is just too great, isn't it?"
