Chapter 194 Return to the Academy, The Golden Tree
After Huo Yuhao and his group returned to Shrek Academy, they were warmly received by the teachers and students.
The school gate was packed with people, cheers, applause and shouts rose and fell, and Shrek's flags fluttered in the wind.
Even the teachers who are usually serious and unsmiling showed relieved smiles at this moment.
The young students from the foreign language department looked at them with eyes full of admiration and longing.
Although Shrek Academy has won countless championships, this one is undoubtedly the most difficult.
Therefore, in addition to the prize for the champion, the eight participants also received rewards from the academy.
But this did not include Huo Yuhao; he received nothing.
However, everyone knew that it was impossible for the academy to have overlooked him, the greatest contributor.
Without him, Shrek Academy might not even have made it out of the group stage, let alone win the championship.
So how could such meritorious service be forgotten?
There's probably an even bigger reward waiting for him.
The next day, Yan Shaozhe took Huo Yuhao to Poseidon Island.
The morning light spills onto the sea, creating shimmering waves and bathing the entire island in a golden glow.
The sea breeze brings a salty, damp scent, but also an indescribable tranquility.
They climbed the stone-paved path, passed through lush forests, and finally arrived at the Seagod Pavilion, the highest point on the island, in the center of the island.
Huo Yuhao had been here before, brought here by Yan Shaozhe.
On that occasion, the long table in the lobby on the first floor of the Sea God Pavilion was filled with the elders of Shrek Academy.
On that occasion, Huo Yuhao refused to become a disciple of Mu En, the master of the Sea God Pavilion.
Today, when I came here again, the long table was still there, but there were far fewer people.
The academy's elders were not present; only Moon's aged and frail body was huddled in a wheelchair.
Mu En glanced at Yan Shaozhe, who understood immediately, bowed slightly, and turned to leave the Sea God Pavilion.
In this vast Sea God Pavilion, only Huo Yuhao and Mu En remain.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, bathing the rustic tables and chairs in a warm golden hue.
Huo Yuhao took a few steps forward and walked to Mu En's wheelchair.
His expression was serious, with a hint of respect in his eyes, as he called out, "Elder Mu."
Mu En smiled at Huo Yuhao, a gentle expression appearing on his wrinkled face.
His voice was old and calm, like the warm sun in winter: "Child, on behalf of Shrek Academy, I thank you."
Huo Yuhao knew, of course, that this was a thank you for helping Shrek Academy win the championship.
There was no pride on his face; he simply replied calmly, "As a student of Shrek Academy, this is what I should do."
Mu En looked at Huo Yuhao in front of him, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
Huo Yuhao's tone was very polite, but it was precisely this politeness that reflected his "estrangement" from Shrek Academy.
Moon had already guessed that Shrek Academy probably wouldn't be able to retain Huo Yuhao, such a genius.
But just as he said before, Shrek Academy is just an academy.
Whether the trainees stay or leave is entirely up to them.
So even knowing that Huo Yuhao would leave, his decision remained unchanged.
He will still give the rewards that are due.
This is what makes Moon, the Sea God Pavilion Master, different from the others in the academy.
Perhaps this is also why he was able to become the master of the Sea God Pavilion in the first place.
Push me over there.
Moon raised his withered hand and pointed to the wall on the left.
Huo Yuhao walked behind him, gently grasped the handles of the wheelchair with both hands, and slowly walked over.
When the two arrived in front of the wall, Moon pointed with his hand.
In an instant, a dazzling golden light shone, illuminating the entire Sea God Pavilion in a magnificent golden glow!
In the blink of an eye, the golden light vanished, but the world had changed.
Huo Yuhao felt a blur before his eyes, and when he looked again, they were no longer on the first floor of the Sea God Pavilion, but in a much more spacious hall.
This is a square hall, with all four sides measuring a hundred meters in length.
Several passageways run along both sides of the hall, deep and quiet, their destinations unknown.
A unique fragrance permeated the air, fresh and mellow, making one feel refreshed with every breath.
Moon explained with a smile, "You should have seen the golden tree on Poseidon Island. It is the tree of light and life, and there is only one of its kind on the entire continent."
"And right now, we are inside this golden tree."
Huo Yuhao subconsciously released his mental energy, trying to investigate the surrounding situation.
But the next moment, his pupils contracted slightly.
His powerful spiritual energy, which was close to the Spirit Realm, was severely restricted here!
He seemed to have encountered an invisible barrier, his mental energy being gently blocked back.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao heard his teacher Electrolux's voice in his mind: "Yuhao, this golden tree is not simple. It has a divine aura and may not be a species from this continent."
At this moment, Huo Yuhao heard his teacher Electrolux's voice in his mind: "Yuhao, this golden tree is not simple. It has a divine aura and may not be a species from this continent."
Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat, but he remained expressionless.
Mu En's voice came again: "This golden tree can compress the primordial energy of heaven and earth and life energy, which is of great benefit to cultivation."
As he spoke, he raised his withered hand and pointed to the passage on the right: "Go to the end, there is a door. Go in and begin your meditation and cultivation. This is the academy's reward for you."
With his teacher Electrolux's reminder, Huo Yuhao knew that this cultivation within the Golden Tree was definitely a rare opportunity.
He nodded and immediately walked towards the passage on the right.
Reaching the end of the passage, Huo Yuhao pushed open the half-closed wooden door and went inside.
It was pitch black inside, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
But Huo Yuhao's spiritual eyes glowed faintly in the darkness, taking in everything.
This was a space of only about ten square meters, with smooth walls, no windows, and only the door behind him.
In the center of the room, on the floor, there was a futon that looked quite old, with its edges worn white.
He sat down in the center of the room, cross-legged on the futon, and began to meditate as Moon had instructed.
Almost at the same moment he closed his eyes, Moon's voice came out again.
The voice seemed to echo directly in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea. He knew that Mu En, the Sea God Pavilion Master, had a much higher spiritual power than him.
"Yuhao, you are the most talented person I have ever seen."
"Whether it's soul power, mental strength, or physical body, you far surpass your peers."
"I believe you have your own plans and understanding regarding cultivation, so I won't say more."
"Cultivate diligently; there are unexpected benefits here."
Mu En stopped speaking there. Huo Yuhao's heart stirred slightly, guessing that Mu En might have seen through his condensation of the soul core, after all, Mu En was a Limit Douluo.
However, Moon clearly meant no harm, and he didn't think much of it.
Putting aside his chaotic thoughts, Huo Yuhao began to concentrate on meditation and cultivation.
He could sense that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was significantly more condensed, and the speed of cultivation was several times that of the outside world.
Moreover, a magical power is constantly flowing into his body.
It was an energy he had never experienced before, warm and mellow, carrying a rich life force.
Even with the cultivation of the Body Secret Technique and the nourishment of the Life Blade, Huo Yuhao's physical body was already extremely powerful.
But even now, he could still feel his physique improving once again.
However, at this moment, an unfamiliar voice rang out, instantly interrupting Huo Yuhao's cultivation.
