--- Chapter 220 ---

Huo Yuhao shrugged, "It's a pretty common thing in the Dragon Nest."

"Every student who graduated from the Dragon Nest Academy must master four-grade runes and its application."

"Maybe because you have long believed the Shrek Academy to be the best in this world." He added, giving Wang Dong a mysterious look.

What he said isn't wrong.

Wang Dong indeed believes the Shrek Academy is the best in the world, not only because of her personal bias as her parents studied there once but also its deep history.

It's flawed as the Sun and Moon Empire and other empires also have the academy with similar qualities. Their level might not be the same as Shrek Academy, but they could nurture powerhouses as well.

One of the strongest on the Douluo Continent that'd be a fitting description for the current Shrek Academy.

However, the best in the world?

No, the Dragon Nest took that title already.

"Sorry for popping your bubble, Wang Dong. But you should wake up from your ignorance." Huo Yuhao smiled at the fuming cross-dressing girl.

Wang Dong huffed and puffed her cheek, making the other sigh.

Huo Yuhao created a few more runes and translated the analysis to everyone.

"Thunder Horn." Ma Xiaotao read out loud.

"Age, seven thousand years old."

"Type, external spirit bone."

"Spirit Skill, Thunderer Transformation."

Bei Bei also read the description of Thunderer Transformation and sucked a cold breath, "Upon activation, the possessor of Thunder Horn will enter Thunderer State. Increase reaction speed, attack speed, and damage potency by 150%!"

"Thunderer State lasts for one minute."

"Even a Spirit Master with no lightning element can use it." Xu Sanshi was tempted and gulped nervously. "Adding a lightning element to normal attack..."

This Spirit Bone is so good!

"Hmm, overall evaluation: B+ Grade." Tang Ya tilted her head.

"Yuhao, Yuhao. What does this mean?"

Huo Yuhao coughed and explained, "Resources such as Spirit Bone and Rune Stones are divided by grades, starting from F to S."

"This external spirit bone is quite valuable."

"Sadly, not many people in the Dragon Nest would use it." The reason behind Huo Yuhao's words is the Universal Breathing Technique and Spirit Circuits.

The combo of the two alone is enough to make this spirit bone lose its value.

Still, Thunder Horn's percentage boost is massive.

The 150% increase in reaction speed and attack speed makes it better than other spirit bones of the same grade.

After a while, Huo Yuhao opened his mouth and said, "How about this? I'll round up the grade to A, around sixty-nine thousand contribution credits in the Dragon Nest."

"With such an amount of credits, you guys could buy six Rune Stones (Black) and some medicinal pills."

"Six!" Ma Xiaotao covered her mouth in surprise. Her teacher paid a lot to get some rune stones from the Dragon Nest in the past, but he was 'actually' generous enough to give them such an amount.

"You can also specify the attribute and spirit skills you wanted." Huo Yuhao added that it was not a big deal.

Wang Dong and others are numb already.

Nevertheless, they stared at Huo Yuhao and cursed in their heads.

"Six..." Bei Bei whispered to himself.

They currently have eight people on the team. From Huo Yuhao's tone, he doesn't seem interested in this lousy treasure.

Senior Ma Xiaotao didn't contribute to the fight, outing them.

"What do you think?" Bei Bei glanced at others.

'Sure, I have no problem with it." Xu Sanshi raised his arms in defeat. Even though he wanted to obtain Thunder Horn, it doesn't match his style.

"Same." Wang Dong nodded slightly.

Tang Ya giggled, "I've used Rune Stone once, thanks to Yuhao. It's more beneficial for our cultivation than this spirit bone."

"Then, I also have no problem." Jiang Nannan agreed quickly.

"Me too." Xiao Xiao peeked at Huo Yuhao, trying to find a change in his expression.

'Woah. Yuhao, you're scamming them!' Tian Meng yelled from the Spiritual World.

'I don't know what you are talking about?' Huo Yuhao feigned the truth.

The values he set are correct. After all, they got this spirit bone because of his extreme luck.

Eluxia observed the spirit bone and commented, 'Such a pure lightning element.'

Bing Di sneered, 'Only last for one minute, though. It would be more of a trump card than anything.'

Huo Yuhao clasped his hand, "Well, everything settled then."

"I'll give the list of the Rune Stones later. For now, let's continue."

"Senior Xiaotao, your Two-Headed Eagle is next."

"Mm." Ma Xiaotao smiled, brimming with expectation.

Storing the Thunder Horn into his inventory, they began to roam around the border of Star Dou Forest's inner and core areas.

They encountered several rare and powerful spirit beasts, even ambushed by some, but none met their requirements.

After hours of walking, they decided to take a rest.

They found a well-concealed cave surrounded by tall trees, which they tidied and set a bonfire.

Sitting around the bonfire, Wang Dong decided to cultivate Tang Sect's cultivation technique.

'The infamous Mysterious Heaven Technique.'

'A cultivation technique that could absorb the bloodlines of others.' Huo Yuhao observed Wang Dong's energy circulation and mimicked it, hearing a notification.

[Ding! You have learned the S-Grade Cultivation Technique: Mysterious Heaven Technique]

"Oh, well..." Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile.

It seems he had comprehended one of many reasons Tang San became what he is.

The benefit the Mysterious Heaven Technique brought is massive.

It's all thanks to Huo Yuhao's Throne of the Beginning and the End.

He could master any technique, using it to 120% of its true potential.

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, comparing the 'Mysterious Heaven Technique' of the Tang Sect and the Universal Breathing Technique.

Soon, he discovered the Universal Breathing Technique was superior!

Don't get Huo Yuhao wrong.

The 'Mysterious Heaven Technique' is good, but the Universal Breathing Technique brings the same effect with better efficiency.

The Universal Breathing Technique had a massive advantage.

There is no use for meditation. Anyone could use it as normal breathing, becoming stronger through constant repetition.

And more so, with the Spirit Circuits, the Universal Breathing Technique yields more results with less effort.

'Maybe I should upgrade the Mysterious Heaven Technique?' Huo Yuhao pondered for a bit.

After thinking about it, Huo Yuhao decided to wait. He needs Scathach's assistance in this matter.

"Yuhao, you seem to be more reactive than usual?" Ma Xiaotao suddenly poked him with her finger. "Or is it just my feeling?"

Huo Yuhao grinned and returned, "What do you think?"

"Hmph, probably just my feeling." Ma Xiaotao blushed and swayed her head away.

"Yuhao, eat this." Xiao Xiao brought him a fresh sourdough bread from her spatial ring.

'You'd be such a good friend with Yuna, Xiao Xiao.' Huo Yuhao picked the bread and tasted it.

...

Everyone is currently meditating.

They recovered their stamina, but the constant roar and cry of spirit beasts always made them alert.

Only Huo Yuhao, Ma Xiaotao, and Xiao Xiao stay calm.

They have experienced Scathach's hellish training, so these commotions made by spirit beasts are nothing but a joke to them.

"Hmm?" Huo Yuhao opened his eyes.

"There is a group of people chased by spirit beasts outside." He said, waking everyone up.

"We should help!" Wang Dong uttered instantly.

"..." Huo Yuhao.

"Are you dumb?"

Wang Dong's chest heaved up and down, "Who did you call dumb?"

"Whatever, watch this." Huo Yuhao shared his spiritual vision with everyone.

Not far away from their cave, two middle-aged men and two young ladies entered their vision. They are running away from a horde of panther spirit beasts.

Huo Yuhao frowned, seemingly recognizing one of the young ladies.

"Hah, sometimes my luck is almost frightening." He sighed.

"What's the chance of this happening..."

"Well, It's been a while."

"Princess Xu."
