Fan Yu was silent and gently pushed back Huo Yuhao's hand that was holding the necklace.
"You'd better take it."
"No matter what your choice is, I fully respect it, and the door to the Soul Guidance Department will always be open to you."
"You go back first, I have something else to do. Cai Tou, please see Yu Hao off."
He Caitou nodded stupidly: "Okay."
Huo Yuhao followed He Caitou and left the experimental area.
As soon as the two of them left, Fan Yu couldn't wait to take out a voice-transmitting soul guide and inject soul power into it.
As soon as the soul guide was connected, he asked anxiously, "Dean Qian?"
"Fan Yu? What's the matter?" Qian Duoduo's voice came from the other end.
Fan Yu said in a deep voice: "Huo Yuhao is back. Now there are three good news and one bad news about him. Be prepared."
Qian Duoduo became interested: "Oh? Tell me about the three good news first."
Fan Yu said: "The first good news is that Huo Yuhao has now broken through to the third-level soul master."
"How is it possible? Didn't he just break through two levels a few months ago? And his soul power is only at most in the early twenties, right? Can he do it?" Qian Duoduo's surprise could be heard just by the sound of his voice.
Fan Yu sighed, "This is the second good news. There is something strange about Huo Yuhao's cultivation talent. Zhou Yi told me that Huo Yuhao was only level 11 when he entered school, but do you know what level he is now?"
"How many?"
"Twenty-six!"
"How is that possible! You didn't lie to me? Wasn't he only level 20 before the holiday?"
Fan Yu said confidently: “How dare I lie to you? Huo Yuhao had not obtained his second spirit ring before, so his level had been suppressed, so others could not see it. In other words, Huo Yuhao cultivated to a full fifteen levels in less than a year! His level has more than doubled!”
Now it was Qian Duoduo's turn to speak incoherently: "This, this, this..."
"There is also a third piece of good news!" Fan Yu finally dropped the bombshell, "Huo Yuhao is also the owner of a twin martial spirit!"
“Oh my god—fuck!” A loud noise came from the other end of the soul guide, followed by Qian Duoduo’s excited cheer, “This Huo Yuhao is really full of surprises! I knew that investing in him would be the right thing to do, ahahahaha…”
"Now, my Soul Guidance Department can finally rise up, and maybe even surpass the Sun-Moon Empire, ahahahaha——"
Qian Duoduo laughed for a full minute before he remembered that he was still talking to Fan Yu.
“Well done! Fanyu, you must devote all your efforts to training Huo Yuhao. If you have any requests, just let me know.”
"Oh yeah, what's the bad news you're talking about?"
Fan Yu was silent. He really didn't want to attack Qian Duoduo. The happier Qian Duoduo laughed now, the more depressed he would be later.
After a long while, he said carefully: "Dean Qian, please don't be angry or sad about what I am going to say next..."
“Ah? Why should I be angry or sad?” Qian Duoduo said cheerfully, “I am so happy to have met a genius like Huo Yuhao. Tell me what you think.”
Fan Yu swallowed his saliva and stammered, "Then...then I said..."
Qian Duoduo said impatiently: "Hurry up and tell me, why are you being so nagging? Don't keep me in suspense!"
Fan Yu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and finished his words in one breath.
"Huo Yuhao still wants to join the Wuhun Department!"
There was an instant of dead silence at the other end of the soul guide.
After a long while, Fan Yu asked tentatively: "... Dean Qian?"
He was afraid that Qian Duoduo would be angry to death after hearing the news.
But to his surprise, Qian Duoduo's voice was unusually calm.
"He...really said that?"
"Yes."
"Fan Yu, what do you think?"
"Dean Qian, my idea is to ignore the martial spirit department!"
“Good boy, it’s just as I thought!” Qian Duoduo praised, “No matter what the Wuhun Department says, now and in the future, Huo Yuhao will always be our core disciple!”
"We don't care whether the Wuhun Department gives us the status of core disciples or not. We must give it our due respect. Whether the academy recognizes it or not, we must recognize it."
Fan Yu asked again: "What if Huo Yuhao doesn't accept it?"
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Then play the emotional card and be thick-skinned. I believe this child is not so heartless."
"Remember, we are the ones who are begging this child, not this child. It is our blessing that he joins the Soul Guidance Department."
Fan Yu nodded.
"I understand."
……
Poseidon Lakeside.
Huo Yuhao stood by the lake, manipulating the water with his right hand, freezing it into ice and then slowly melting it.
He felt very conflicted.
The Soul Guidance Department has always treated him so well, but he has not given anything in return. Instead, he still wants to join the Martial Soul Department.
This made him ashamed.
Whether it is the cold-blooded principle of exchanging interests or the simple idea of repaying kindness, his performance is not up to standard.
The Martial Soul Department looked down on him so much before, but he continued to join the Martial Soul Department with a flattering face, and also kept refusing the kindness of the Soul Guidance Department.
Even Huo Yuhao felt that he was nothing.
I'm sorry Fanyu, I'm sorry Qian Duoduo.
"I'm such a bitch."
He looked at the lake and muttered to himself.
Bingdi's cold voice sounded in his mind: "I heard everything from Tianmeng."
"Human, I am very disappointed with your performance today. Is this how you have no dignity?"
"Where is the toughness you showed when you faced this emperor before?"
Huo Yuhao said calmly: "If I were alone, I would certainly not even bother with the Martial Spirit Department. But the situation is different now. I want to do this for you and for Tian Meng."
Bingdi was stunned: "What do you mean for us?"
“Because only by cultivating martial spirits can one become a god, right?” Huo Yuhao said, “I am temporarily compromising. Although it makes me very unhappy, there is no actual loss. A real man can bend and stretch. Just endure it if you can.”
"I said, I will lead you to become gods."
Bingdi was silent for a long time before the clear voice sounded again.
"Then I will forgive you this time."
"Don't do this again in the future. I still prefer the tougher you."
"Yuhao."
Huo Yuhao was slightly stunned.
This seemed to be the first time that Bingdi called him by his name.
A breeze blew across Poseidon Lake, and the sparkling lake surface was like a delicate and frightened girl, shivering in the sun.
Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a little melancholy, and his mind began to wander.
Since the day he met Tian Meng, he had been dragged onto a path to becoming a god. This path seemed extremely glorious and brilliant, but it was fraught with difficulties, and there were countless obstacles hidden in the darkness ahead.
Throughout history, those who have accomplished great things have never been alone. Huo Yuhao had more and more people in his mind, Tianmeng, Bingdi, and the gray figure. And Huo Yuhao had a hunch that someone would definitely join in the future...
But those who achieve great things are always lonely. On the road to achieving great things, there will definitely be companions who once shared the same ideals and left him one after another, whether it was because of external changes or differences in beliefs and ideas.
Huo Yuhao understood that on the road to becoming a god, he would inevitably face countless pressures and many difficulties would be beyond his ability. But if the methods to solve these problems were contrary to his principles as a human being, what should he do?
Should I continue to compromise and abandon my principles?
Or stick to your original intention?
Many decisions cannot be made easily just by being decisive. Many times, to gain something, you have to lose something.
In addition to becoming a god, Huo Yuhao also has some great things and missions that he wants to accomplish.
"Yuhao, I finally found you."
Wang Dong’s voice suddenly rang out, bringing Huo Yuhao back to his senses.
"What are you doing here?"
"Nothing, I'm just thinking about my future path."
Huo Yuhao replied with a smile, and added silently in his heart.
"A path to becoming a god!"
Chapter 96: Mr. Huo's job transfer during the upgrade assessment
"Students, you will have an upgrade test this afternoon. Your upgrade test will be conducted in the beast fighting area, where you will fight face to face with soul beasts. The examiner will give you scores based on your performance."
"Defeating a soul beast that is too weak may not necessarily lead to passing the test, and not defeating a soul beast that is too strong may not necessarily mean that you cannot pass. While ensuring safety, go all out. Do you understand?"
"Listen clearly."
"Okay, get out of class is over."
On the first day of the new school year, in the classroom of Class One, Grade Two, Zhou Yi briefly talked about the promotion assessment for first-grade to second-grade students, and then announced the end of get out of class in a swift and decisive manner.
Students who can pass the freshman assessment will be officially promoted to the second grade, and those who cannot pass will pack up and leave.
After Zhou Yi left, the classroom became lively and everyone asked each other what they had done during the one-month vacation.
"Brother Hao, you really didn't return to Xingluo City?" Dai Huabin asked, "There are still many people who miss you."
"Oh, who would miss me?"
"Father, Luo Li, and..." Dai Huabin lowered his voice and whispered, "Princess Jiujiu."
