As a Cla.s.s 98 Transcendent Douluo who was only a step away from becoming an Ultimate Douluo, Elder Xuan could do everything that Huo Yuhao had just done. While he was not a spirit-type soul master, he could also force his spiritual power to take a concrete shape. However, he could not let the manifestation of his spiritual power leave his field of view. If he did, he would lose control over it.
In terms of spiritual power, Huo Yuhao could not compare to Elder Xuan. However, in terms of control of his spiritual power, as well as the quality of his spiritual power, Huo Yuhao had already surpa.s.sed him. While he did not know how powerful Huo Yuhao"s spiritual power would be if he used it for offense, he knew that Huo Yuhao was not permanently crippled. Furthermore, his spiritual power was still increasing!
Huo Yuhao chortled and replied, "Metaphysical, it has more or less stabilized."
Elder Xuan asked him immediately, "What about your Spirit Eyes? Have they improved, too?"
Huo Yuhao nodded.
Elder Xuan mumbled to himself, "Second Awakening, this is the Second Awakening indeed! Your spiritual power could soon be the strongest on the entire continent. While some in the Body Sect have experienced a Second Awakening too, I can be sure that at your level, no one is more powerful than you. This is excellent. How are your wounds?"
Huo Yuhao said, "My wounds are still problematic. However, I"m confident. For the Academy, for the Tang Sect, for Dong"er and I, I"ll do my best to recover."
Elder Xuan nodded and said seriously, "Don"t rush it."
Huo Yuhao chortled and said, "I won"t, don"t worry. With Dong"er accompanying me, I"m in no rush at all."
w.a.n.g Dong"er gripped his hand lightly and smiled. She wished to take care of him forever. After this incident, their mindset toward their relations.h.i.+p had experienced a huge change. Their understanding of love way surpa.s.sed that of their peers.
Elder Xuan said, "How about this? You use your spiritual power to come up with a healing plan for yourself. Elder Zhuang and I will monitor you as you heal yourself. In case something happens, we can at least keep you alive. This will give you a free hand in your own recuperation."
"Okay," Huo Yuhao accepted the offer readily. With two Transcendent Douluo helping his recovery, it would naturally be a lot safer. His condition was complex indeed.
Elder Xuan thought for a while, and then said, "Furthermore, don"t tell anyone about the second evolution of your body soul. For now, don"t even tell the other members of the Shrek"s Seven Monsters."
"Is there a need for this secrecy?" Huo Yuhao asked.
Elder Xuan"s mouth twitched as he said, "This is a secret weapon. Furthermore, after you have recovered, we need to talk about your punishment."
Huo Yuhao was stunned. With a bitter expression, he said, "There"s punishment!?"
Elder Xuan said angrily, "Of course. If everyone behaved as recklessly as you, without a care for the rules, how could we run the Academy? I"m informing you right now that you have been expelled from the Sea G.o.d"s Pavilion. You can make up for your wrong with deeds of merit, and perhaps we"ll consider re-inst.i.tuting you as a member of the Sea G.o.d"s Pavilion. Furthermore, the rewards from your future research into spirits have been canceled. If you die outside, how can you answer to Elder Mu? You little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you really p.i.s.s me off."
Elder Xuan was angry indeed! How could he not be? Who exactly was Huo Yuhao? He was Elder Mu"s designated successor as the Master of the Sea G.o.d"s Pavilion. He had also been trained under the Ultimate Soldier Plan. However, in the face of his emotions, he had forgotten all his obligations and duties. He had risked his life to head to the Setting Sun Forest without even informing the school! It was a miracle that he had returned alive!
If Huo Yuhao had died outside, the impact on Shrek Academy would have been immeasurable! The blow would have been akin to the entire Academy losing its hope for the future and direction.
Huo Yuhao"s face was filled with regret. He really had not been thinking straight at that point in time...
"Elder Xuan, don"t be angry. I admit that I was wrong. I"ll accept whatever punishment the Academy imposes on me, just don"t expel me!..."
Elder Xuan snorted coldly and said, "Expulsion? Don"t tempt me. Rest well for now. After you come up with a recovery plan, inform me immediately. Elder Zhuang and I will help you."
"Yes," Huo Yuhao replied respectfully.

Elder Xuan stomped out angrily. He only smiled slightly when he left the room. It was a weird smile as he mumbled to himself, "A Second Awakening of the body soul and twin martial souls. Was there such a precedent on the continent? I don"t think so. Records, records. Well done, little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you almost made me die from anger..."
---
As she watched Elder Xuan leave, w.a.n.g Dong"er"s pretty eyes were apologetic. "It"s all because of me. Yuhao…"
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "What do you mean by that? It"s my fault for not thinking it through. Actually, I enjoy my current life very much! I don"t have to care about anything, I don"t have to do anything, I don"t have to cultivate. I can look at you every single day. This is a blissful life indeed. Come, my G.o.ddess of Light, give me a kiss."
w.a.n.g Dong"er could not stifle her laughter as she said, "You have interesting thoughts, indeed! Lie there and don"t move and come up with your recovery plan. When you"re well, I"ll let you kiss me."
Huo Yuhao"s eyes lit up as he said, "As many times as I want?"
w.a.n.g Dong"er"s face turned red, but when she saw his look of antic.i.p.ation, she nodded and said, "Yes."
Huo Yuhao gleefully exclaimed, "Great, then I shall start immediately. Don"t worry, I"ll be very, very careful. For my Dong"er, I"ll get well as fast as I can. Eh, wait for me, where should I kiss? Should I kiss your face, or should I kiss your…"
"Go away!" w.a.n.g Dong"er blushed as she walked away.
As he looked at how adorable she was, Huo Yuhao"s face brimmed with joy. This was a blissful sentiment indeed. If not for the fact that he still had many things to do, it would be an awesome thing if he could just lie here and accompany Dong"er! After he finished with his stuff, he planned to travel the world with her. He wanted to see everything there was under the sky, eat all the tasty food there was, and have as many enjoyable experiences as possible. This was now his life"s goal!
------
With this excited mentality, Huo Yuhao started to examine his body once more. With his powerful spiritual energy, he first swept his body, and then examined it region-by-region.
In his Spiritual Sea, he used his spiritual power to form a model of his body. In this model, he examined all the complicated pa.s.sageways. For more serious areas, he represented them with deeper colors. For less serious areas, he used lighter colors.
How complicated were the pa.s.sageways of a human? In spite of Huo Yuhao"s spiritual power, as well as his Sumeru and Mustard Seed Domain Purple Demon Eyes, he still took three whole days to complete this task.
Then, he shared the model of his body with Elder Xuan and Elder Mu via Spiritual Sharing.
When the two Transcendent Douluo saw the complete map of Huo Yuhao"s body formed using his metaphysical spiritual power, they could not help but exclaim in awe. Neither of them could control their spiritual power at Huo Yuhao"s level!
Then, they used a week"s time to determine the condition of all of Huo Yuhao"s pa.s.sageways to come up with a recovery plan. They considered every tiny detail to great lengths so as to minimize errors.
After ten days of rest, Huo Yuhao"s body had recovered quite a bit. The power of his Life Gold was fully revealed. While his injuries were still there, his body brimmed with life. His self-recovery ability was back, and had started to absorb some of the extremely cold origin energy of heaven and earth. While its speed of absorption was slow, Huo Yuhao carefully observed that there was nothing he could not do. In two years, all of the origin energy of heaven and earth in his body, other than that trapped in his soul bones, would be completely absorbed.
Then, it would be a lot easier to heal himself.
However, Huo Yuhao could not afford any delays. There were only twenty more days until the tournament. In twenty days" time, he had to recover all his battling abilities.
Without Tang Ya and Bei Bei, there would be no him. One could say that the Tang Sect had made him. This time, they were fighting for the Tang Sect! How could Huo Yuhao miss it? While he did not say it, he was determined to recover. Only then could he head to the Sun Moon Empire with everyone else. He was not only the center of his team because of his understanding of the Sun Moon Empire, but also their hope for winning.
Furthermore, if he waited a year, all of the problematic pa.s.sageways in his body would have fully set. If he wanted to make a change then, it would be much more difficult.
After his recovery plan was finalized, Huo Yuhao started to act.
His plan was simple. He would start small before moving on to the more severe injuries. He would be in charge of the initial stages of his recovery.
After a careful a.n.a.lysis, Huo Yuhao, Elder Xuan, and Elder Mu discovered that Huo Yuhao"s body could be split into three different conditions. Some parts of his body were intact, some parts of it were slightly injured, and some parts of it were severely messed up and badly injured.
Hence, Huo Yuhao had to first heal his lighter injuries before progressing to the more serious ones.
His legs and head were perfect. These three parts of his body were completely uninjured. His hands were slightly injured, as were the pa.s.sageways in his shoulders. The most problematic part of his body was his torso. That was where the problems lay.
