"The initial Spirit Soul quotas for the Spirit Transmission Pagoda will be handed over to the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect for operation."
"In the future, for every Spirit Pagoda built by the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, a fixed 5% of the annual Spirit Soul quotas will be allocated to them."
"Additionally, add two Tai Chi Fist skill books and Muscle Transformation Manual skill books."
"Hmm..."
"And I'll give you an extra 100,000-year soul ring, but it's ice attribute. You decide who to give it to."
"These are the conditions. Whether you can negotiate it depends on you."
The terms were undoubtedly generous, even priceless in the market.
One could say.
As long as the Spirit Pagoda stood firm, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect's treatment wouldn't be bad.
This actually meant the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect would owe a favor.
"Okay, I'll take care of this!" Ning Tian agreed immediately.
"Alright, then you go find a location first. In a few days, on the way back to Shrek, I'll drop you off at your sect."
"Understood, Tower Lord."
Huo Yuhao transmitted a mental message, summoning the Emperor Ice Penguin.
The latter came waddling over quickly. Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's request, it patted its chest in assurance.
"God, you can rest assured and leave it to me. I will definitely not let the God's Emissary suffer the slightest harm!"
"Mm, this is your reward."
Huo Yuhao tossed out a mass of jade-green ice crystal—a full 1% of the Ice Jade Empress Armor, worth 10,000 Fortune Points.
It instantly granted the previously weak Emperor Ice Penguin Ultimate Ice!
"Heavens!"
"I have Ultimate Ice?"
"Hahaha!"
"Let's see if they dare laugh at me now?!"
"Thank you for your grace, God!!!"
Huo Yuhao waved his hand, signaling the Emperor Ice Penguin to take them away.
But the Emperor Ice Penguin didn't leave, hesitating as if wanting to say something.
"Hmm? Is there something?"
"Dare not deceive the God!" The Emperor Ice Penguin said fervently. "I am willing to offer a blood sacrifice to you, God! I dare not hope to become a Spirit Soul like the Ice Empress or the Titan Snow Ape King. I only ask to help you advance further!"
So proactive?
One has to admit.
The loyalty of soul beasts was just that simple. Add a faith BUFF on top, and they would sacrifice themselves in minutes.
Unfortunately...
He didn't have many empty soul ring slots left for the Water Dragon King!
The Emperor Ice Penguin wasn't qualified to occupy one.
Moreover, his current mental world was too crowded to accommodate a new Spirit Soul, which would mean a pointless loss of combat strength.
"I'll see your performance later. Go handle your task for now." Huo Yuhao said vaguely.
The Emperor Ice Penguin, however, took this as a "Divine Test."
"Yes! God!"
It happily led Ning Tian and Wu Feng away.
Huo Yuhao looked towards Mu En and explained the "Soul Master Grand Tournament Public Display Plan."
Mu En, however, frowned slightly upon hearing it.
"What's wrong, teacher? Is there something inappropriate about the plan?" Huo Yuhao asked, puzzled.
Impossible!
With the dual approval from Brother Lan and Teacher Electrolux, how could there be a problem?
"This old geezer is probably thinking about Shrek's ten-thousand-year champion title," Zhuge Lan saw through it. "But times have changed. He's already the High Priest of the Ice God Temple. If he still can't let go of the idea of Shrek's dominance, then in the future..."
Taking him to godhood would have to be put on hold.
After all, their group ascending was meant to overthrow the Asura God King.
If Mu En were to switch sides on the spot, that would be a real joke.
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao grew secretly anxious.
Teacher, please don't be confused!
"Ah—"
Mu En let out a long sigh, helpless—
"Shrek has stood at the pinnacle of the continent for too long and has become somewhat too arrogant."
"The acceptance of soul tools to this day cannot be unified."
"Little do they know, the Sun Moon Empire's Illustrious Virtue Hall has soul tool technology that even I..."
"It is time for Shrek to know what it means to learn from humiliation and strive for improvement."
"Yuhao, I support your plan."
"Regarding the establishment of the academy and the competition entry slot, I will have someone handle it. What should the name be?"
Huo Yuhao grinned.
"It's good that you understand, teacher."
"As for the new academy's name, it's called..."
He deliberately paused, making sure Brother Lan didn't have any more "whimsical ideas" this time...
"I have a good name." Zhuge Lan arrived, albeit late. "Call it %$#!"
Huo Yuhao: "..."
He covered his face; this name was even more outrageous than the Holy Flame Meow Meow Sect!
"Brother Lan, please, no..." Huo Yuhao tried to struggle. "I'm undergoing the God's Trial here, what if it lowers the score..."
"What are you afraid of? That Ice Guy is already dead." Zhuge Lan said fearlessly. "Even if the score is lowered a bit this time, once the Ice God's Nine Trials are all completed, the rewards will still be given in full."
Huo Yuhao sighed in resignation.
"Teacher, Brother Lan has given the academy a name: %$#."
A question mark seemed to slowly appear above Mu En's head?
What name?
"This old teacher might be hard of hearing, Yuhao. Say it again."
"Teacher, you heard correctly. It's %$#."
Mu En fell silent.
Huo Yuhao responded with silence.
Mu En wanted to say something.
But this name was given by that Demigod His Majesty. Recalling the playful name "Holy Flame Meow Meow Sect" and the even more playful initiation ceremony...
It really was that one's style.
Moreover, that one wasn't afraid of offending the Ice God at all, and their background was equally terrifying!
His old bones better not try to wrestle with that.
—Anyway, in the end, the embarrassment wouldn't be his. Let it be!
"Fine."
"Can this really be registered successfully?" Huo Yuhao asked persistently, unwilling to give up.
"If Shrek can succeed, why can't this one?" Mu En waved his hand grandly. "If anyone dares to refuse, let Shaozhe pay them a visit!"
Good grief!
Registering an academy name required involving the senior brother.
It showed just how bizarre this name was!
But there was no other way.
Who asked Brother Lan to propose it?
"Then I'll trouble you, teacher."
"I'm just relaying the message. The one actually handling it is Shaozhe." Mu En quickly distanced himself.
Huo Yuhao smacked his lips.
Poor senior brother, truly has too many troublesome matters.
He shook his head.
Huo Yuhao looked at Xiao Xiao, the last one waiting for arrangements, and thought for a moment.
He decided to find some "fun" for his teacher.
"How about..."
"Teacher, you take Xiao Xiao back first. I'll follow Elder Song back later."
"On the way, you can also check on the progress of Beibei and the others at the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well."
Both Mu En and Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up!
Huo Yuhao looked at Xiao Xiao in confusion. Why are you so excited?
"Then it's settled, this teacher will take his leave first."
"Hehe, Class Monitor, you have to come back quickly!"
"Elder Mu, let's go quickly!"
Tugging at Mu En's sleeve, she simply impatient.
Mu En laughed heartily, transforming into the Bright Holy Dragon and soaring into the sky.
—He was also very eager to see the progress over there!
After arranging for everyone to leave.
Huo Yuhao clapped his hands. The Death Holy Law Staff appeared, and he sliced through the air to open the entrance to the Demiplane of Undead, plunging inside.
Gray aura surged from the Death Holy Law Staff, protecting him from the torment of spatial travel.
He landed safely in the half plane of Undead.
Mental force surged forth, swiftly carrying him north.
Before long.
He saw a holy and bright white light shining within the gray world.
It looked very lively.
