The East Sea Spirit Pagoda towered into the clouds, its spire shimmering with a pale blue light under the sun, as if connecting with the sky. The battle that shocked the entire spirit master world two years ago had turned this originally low-key building into the focus of countless people's attention.
It was only because the information about Huo Yuhao and others had been dug up and confirmed by everyone that they were members of the Spirit Pagoda.
However, facing the only force in East Sea City with a titled Douluo, no one dared to be too presumptuous, so it did not affect Huo Yuhao and others' lives.
Huo Yuhao entered the Spirit Pagoda and greeted the person coming towards him.
"Good morning, Sister An Ya."
"Good morning, Yuhao."
Seeing Huo Yuhao, An Ya's cheerful face showed a gentle smile.
Because of Huo Yuhao, she had been promoted again and again!
Now thinking about it, being a Spirit Master is the best job, seizing the opportunity to rise to the top in one step.
She heard that the colleague who had contact with little Wulin had also been promoted, so it was a time for mutual joy.
"I heard you're going to the headquarters?" An Ya asked.
"Yes," Huo Yuhao nodded, taking out a gift box and handing it to An Ya, "This is a gift for you, thank you for taking care of me these years, Sister An Ya."
"Rather than saying I took care of you, it's more like I owe you a favor, otherwise I might not be in this position now."
Although she said so, An Ya still took the gift box and smiled:
"A gift from a level six mecha maker and designer, and the first place on the young genius list, I have to look forward to it..."
At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from outside the Spirit Pagoda. An Ya stopped speaking, and the two turned to look, seeing a group of parents with children gathered at the door, seemingly waiting in line.
"Isn't Awakening Day tomorrow?" An Ya was a bit puzzled, "Why are they here today? And those children are already past the age."
A staff member passing by explained to her:
"The Federation has asked us to temporarily take in a group of children and spirit masters. The reason for the temporary suspension of spirit guidance aircraft is also related to this, as they have been dispatched to various places to pick up personnel. I don't know what's going on."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao looked at the parents who were being arranged to enter the Spirit Pagoda by the staff, seeing their uneasy expressions, and then glanced at the children, pondering for a moment before saying to An Ya, who had come back to her senses:
"Then I'll go say goodbye to the others, see you when I have time."
An Ya's eyes were somewhat complex, eventually turning into emotion: "Alright, goodbye, come back and visit when you have time."
"Mm."
Afterwards, Huo Yuhao went to see acquaintances at the Spirit Pagoda and Xie Xie and others.
"Boss, you and Gu Yuena go to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters first, we'll come later," Xie Xie smiled: "When we get there, we'll rely on you, I still want to study at the Sun Moon Soul Master Academy."
Two years had passed, and their cultivation had basically reached the Spirit Elder level, a year faster than originally expected.
But the situation after that wasn't so good, after using spirit ascension, pills, etc., the speed would gradually return to normal.
Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head: "Alright."
Over the past two years, Xie Xie and others had finally completed the Black Level assessment, and then they needed some time to formally meet their teachers at various branches.
Standing nearby, Luoyang Lu saw Huo Yuhao looking at him and smiled:
"Be careful on the road, and... come back to visit often."
"Of course I will."
Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, taking out two items and handing them to Luoyang Lu, "This is for you, and the other one, please ask the teacher to pass it on to Teacher Wu."
Luoyang Lu smiled and accepted them without refusal.
A little small talk, several goodbyes.
Finally, Huo Yuhao walked towards a simulated training room.
The other members of Class Zero were with Luoyang Lu, and only Gu Yuena was here.
Time flies, and two years had left astonishing changes on her. The once young girl had grown into a graceful young woman, her height of over 1.7 meters making her stand out in the crowd. Although there was still some youthful innocence in her eyes, the early maturity unique to girls made her more charming than boys of the same age.
Her slender figure had begun to show graceful curves, her long neck, slim waist, every line was just right, and the black tights outlined her long, straight legs, shimmering with the unique luster of youth under the light.
Gu Yuena stood quietly under the tree, her silver hair cascading like a waterfall, her eyes as cold as frost. The moment her right hand clenched, a long spear flowing with silver light suddenly appeared.
The spear was over three meter long, as slender as condensed moonlight, its entire body covered with dense hexagonal silver scales, each one like a meticulously carved ice crystal, reflecting a cold sharpness under the faint light.
Suddenly, she moved.
Her body didn't sway, but the spear pierced through the air.
The moment the spear thrust out, time seemed to freeze, the spear tip turned into a cold silver line, silently cutting through the air, and where it passed, the space slightly distorted, showing fine cracks like a spider's web, which then instantly healed.
There was no sound of wind, no afterimage, only pure killing intent condensed into a line.
When she retracted the spear, all was silent.
She stood as before, the silver spear dissipating inch by inch, turning into a sky full of firefly-like starlight. And within a hundred steps around her, the fallen leaves hung in the air without falling, the dust remained still, even the light seemed to be imprisoned by some invisible force, forming an absolute domain.
Until her eyelashes fluttered slightly, this world returned to flow. As for everything that had been still before, it had turned into powder in silence, drifting away.
Gu Yuena sensed Huo Yuhao's presence, the coldness on her face quietly melting, and she walked over with a smile, "Yuhao, are you leaving?"
"Mm," Huo Yuhao glanced at the spot where Gu Yuena had just practiced her spear intent, then looked at the Silver Dragon Spear in her hand, "Your grasp of the intent is perfect, you've officially stepped into the hall."
Perhaps influenced by his words, or perhaps by her own plans, over the past two years she had put in a lot of effort in various aspects, even taking out the Silver Dragon Spear to practice spear techniques...
However, the luck of spear-wielding soldiers in Douluo doesn't seem to be very good, does it?
Huo Yuhao secretly raised an eyebrow.
The Destiny Beast, the Atlas Douluo, the original Tang Wulin, etc., those who fought with spears, their lives were hard to describe as fortunate.
Huo Yuhao looked up and down at Gu Yuena, making her a bit puzzled, "Yuhao, what's wrong? Is there a problem with my intent?"
"Nothing."
Huo Yuhao slightly shook his head, "President Li said he would wait for us at the station. What about you, have you said your goodbyes?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuena naturally extended her fair hand, holding Huo Yuhao's, and walked towards the door with him, "I've also said goodbye to everyone. At the Mecha Master Association, Teacher Cheng was teary-eyed, making me feel a bit... reluctant."
At the end, Gu Yuena's eyes slightly lowered, showing a complex smile.
Huo Yuhao gently held her hand, his fingertips feeling a cool touch, "She treated you like a daughter, naturally she's reluctant... Come back to visit often, don't leave regrets."
Gu Yuena tilted her head, looking at the soft outline of Huo Yuhao's profile outlined by the morning light, and gently nodded, "Mm, I will."
Human life is short, the future is uncertain, cherish the present.
