Chapter 144 Yun Ming: Where did you learn your magic?
Huo Yuhao followed behind Yun Ming, keeping a few steps away.
He didn't know why this strongest person on the continent wanted to see him, but he didn't sense any killing intent from the other party, so there shouldn't be any danger.
The two didn't go far, and finally Yun Ming stopped in a pavilion in a corner of the academy.
The pavilion, nestled among several old trees, was secluded and tranquil, making it a perfect place for conversation.
Yun Ming sat on the stone bench and gestured to Huo Yuhao, "Sit down."
Huo Yuhao didn't stand on ceremony and sat down opposite him.
After a moment of silence, Huo Yuhao finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked, "Senior, what is the purpose of summoning me here alone?"
Yun Ming looked at Huo Yuhao in front of him with a calm gaze, but did not answer immediately.
But then his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he asked, "Where... did you learn your magic?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao, who had just sat down, jumped up from the stone bench!
His delicate face was filled with disbelief and shock.
In those clear eyes, what is called a "pupil earthquake" is currently unfolding.
He really didn't expect Yun Ming to suddenly ask this question!
This question truly shocked him!
His magic, of course, was inherited from his teacher, Elex, from another world.
However, in the two worlds combined, ten thousand years ago and now, only he and Leng Yaozhu know about this matter!
Although he knew that Aunt Leng and Yun Ming had a romantic entanglement when they were young, he didn't believe that Aunt Leng would sell him.
How did Yun Ming know that?!
Huo Yuhao stood there, his heart pounding like thunder.
Yun Ming looked at Huo Yuhao, who was so shocked that he couldn't speak, but his expression remained unchanged.
A knowing glint flashed in those deep eyes.
"It seems... that really was magic."
Since Yun Ming came along because he was worried about Na'er, he naturally "saw" everything that happened in the training room earlier.
He could clearly perceive that mysterious power, those golden runes, that system completely different from soul power...
He wasn't sure before, but seeing Huo Yuhao's shocked reaction now, he finally confirmed his judgment.
Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted again.
He suddenly realized that he had just lost his composure.
Yun Ming tricked him.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Those tightly clenched fists slowly loosened.
He sat back down on the stone bench, the shock on his face gradually fading, replaced by a calm expression.
Now that it's been discovered, there's no need to hide it anymore.
He looked at Yun Ming, his gaze solemn and earnest: "Senior, where did you learn about this so-called magic?"
Yun Ming had already set up a soundproof barrier around them, so he had no worries about what he said at this moment.
He looked at Huo Yuhao and slowly said, "Shrek Academy has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, so there must be some hidden records."
"The secret history, which only the master of the Sea God Pavilion can see, records some unknown past events."
He paused, his gaze falling on Huo Yuhao's face.
"Ten thousand years ago, your ancestor Huo Yuhao, who shared the same name as you, possessed a power called 'magic'."
"It seems that the birth of souls is also related to this power."
Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "Just as I thought."
Some secrets, once they exist, will eventually be known by someone.
Even after ten thousand years, even as time flows by, those traces will eventually be recorded and passed down by those who care.
But if Shrek Academy has such a secret record, what about the Spirit Pagoda?
Aunt Leng doesn't know, but what about Qian Gu Dong Feng, the tower master?
The thought flashed through Huo Yuhao's mind, but he didn't have time to think about it in detail.
He needed to figure out what Yun Ming's purpose was first.
Huo Yuhao looked at Yun Ming and formally admitted, "This is indeed the power of magic."
Even with Yun Ming's composure, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes at this moment.
A glint flashed in his deep eyes as he pressed, "The Spirit Pagoda shouldn't have any magical lineage. Where did you learn this magic from?"
Although Huo Yuhao looks like an eleven-year-old boy now, his ability to travel between two worlds means that he is already mentally mature.
In that short time, he had already prepared his explanation.
However, he did not answer directly, but instead chuckled.
"It seems Aunt Leng didn't tell you, senior."
Yun Ming immediately understood the implication behind those words: Leng Yaozhu knew the truth.
His mind raced, and he immediately recalled the scene of meeting Huo Yuhao at the Sea God Pavilion several years ago.
At that time, Huo Yuhao and Na'er had a battle, and Na'er, whom he had personally trained, actually lost.
Later, he learned that Huo Yuhao's martial soul was actually the Spirit Eye, a spirit-type physical martial soul, which was the legendary martial soul of the Spirit Ice Douluo.
Yun Ming looked at Huo Yuhao with a mixture of scrutiny and speculation in his eyes.
"Are you really a descendant of Huo Yuhao, the ancestor who ascended to godhood ten thousand years ago?"
This seems to be the only explanation.
Otherwise, how could magic that has disappeared into the annals of history reappear?
There must be some stable lineage among Huo Yuhao's ancestors' descendants!
Yun Ming was having a brainstorming session at the moment.
According to Shrek Academy's secret history, Spirit Ice Douluo and Dragon Butterfly Douluo eventually ascended to godhood, leaving no offspring on the continent.
But the Spirit Ice Douluo from ten thousand years ago was exceptionally talented, and many women admired him.
Outsiders may not know, but all the leaders of the Sea God Pavilion throughout the ages know that the young emperor who finally ascended the throne of the Sun Moon Empire ten thousand years ago was Huo Yuhao's bloodline!
With this precedent, it's not surprising that Lingbing Douluo Huo Yuhao has other bloodlines remaining on the continent.
Huo Yuhao looked at him, who seemed to be deep in thought, and slowly spoke.
"I don't know the specifics either."
"All I know is that I'm an orphan, picked up and adopted by Aunt Leng. As for magic..."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "This knowledge of magic appeared in my mind inexplicably; I didn't learn it from anyone."
Huo Yuhao now lies without batting an eye, and Yun Ming doesn't notice anything unusual about his calm demeanor.
Hearing these words, Yun Ming became even more certain of his guess.
This must be a process of directly imprinting knowledge into one's bloodline, so that only those with sufficient talent can inherit it.
Only a deity could perform such a method of transmission.
Some things, when obtained too easily, can feel unreal.
Therefore, people are always more willing to believe the conclusions they have drawn through their own efforts and reasoning.
This is exactly what Yun Ming is like now.
Looking at Yun Ming, whose expression was noticeably more "active" than before, Huo Yuhao still couldn't figure out his purpose.
So he thought for a moment and asked again, "Senior, did you summon me here just to ask this one question?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Ming's expression gradually calmed down.
He looked at Huo Yuhao, his gaze turning serious.
He then slowly spoke: "Among the younger generation, I would call your talent and strength the strongest."
Being praised for no reason, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a little excited.
After all, this is the evaluation from the number one person on the mainland.
Before he could even offer a few words of modesty, Yun Ming changed the subject.
"As for your appearance," he said, his gaze sweeping over Huo Yuhao's face. "You could only be described as above average, not particularly handsome."
Huo Yuhao: "..."
Yun Ming continued, "There's no need to say more about Na'er's beauty. When she grows up, the title of the most beautiful woman on the continent will probably have to be handed over to Ya Li."
"Na'er's talent and strength far surpass those of her peers, only slightly inferior to yours."
"So, I'll consider it my agreement to your relationship."
Huo Yuhao was taken aback upon hearing this.
What happened? What did he agree to?
Before he could even ask a question, Yun Ming's gaze suddenly sharpened.
"However... if you dare to wrong Na'er, I won't let you off the hook!"
