My Power is Upgrading Everything (Rewrite)

Chapter 18: Outside World

--- Chapter 18 ---

The Spirit Awakening Ceremony ended smoothly, and some jealous people began to spread a rumor about the twin shining stars in the city. The topic lasted for a few weeks, but that was for another day.

"Hehe~! What an adorable child." A delighted laugh echoed in the temple. The nun is patting Huo Yuhao's head with such an unambiguous passion.

"Are you done?" Huo Yuhao asked while using his Kenbunshoku Haki to find Huo Yun'er. She was currently facing Xiao Xiao and warned her about something.

The nun breathed heavily and replied, "Five more minutes~!"

She released Huo Yuhao from her unholy grasp five minutes later and released a satisfied sigh. Her whole body literally was filled with never-ending happiness.

"Ehem, my name is Mo Roxue. You can visit me anytime for help, child." The nun said while clearing her throat, remembering her "unholy." behavior a moment ago.

Huo Yuhao stared at her blankly and replied, "No thanks. I won't be returning to this place anytime soon."

"Eh, that was sad." Mo Roxue felt a little down when hearing Huo Yuhao's replies. She can't pat him and get a boost of energy like this anymore.

"Oh, welcome back you two."

Huo Yun'er and Xiao Xiao returned to the temple after their deep conversation with each other. The young girl had a determined look on her face, which caused Huo Yuhao to wonder what kind of topic they were chatting about in the back. Well, it's not hard to guess it was related to him.

"Hao'er~!" Huo Yun'er hugged Huo Yuhao from behind and rubbed her head on him. "Have you missed mom?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and answered naturally, "I have."

"Aww, mom missed you too~." She returned while smiling happily.

"I would have never thought myself to get jealous because of mother and son's bonding." Mo Roxue commented while shaking his head. She looked at Xiao Xiao and asked, "Child, your parents should be here soon, right?"

"Mm, mother said she would come after finishing her work at the bakery. She was busy because the Princess's return makes people demand a ridiculous amount of bread." Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.

"Your mom works at the bakery?" Mo Roxue was surprised.

"Yes. We owned one, to be fair. I can give you freshly baked bread for free." The young girl continued while moving her gaze to Huo Yuhao, expecting a reaction from him.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel amused inside and politely denied, "Sorry, I can't stay for too long. We have planned a journey to grandma's house."

"I-I see..." Xiao Xiao lowered her head.

"Six years. I'll be at the Shrek Academy in six years." He said while patting her head. "We can meet again there."

"R-Really??"

"Yeah."

"Okay, that's enough. Remember our conversation." Huo Yun'er stood between them skeptically, separating Xiao Xiao from her beloved son.

Xiao Xiao pouted and said, "Yeah. Just wait, I'll be strong enough to become his support in the future."

After some brief conversation, Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun'er went away from the northern gate and rode a carriage to the outside world.

Mo Roxue slowly looked down at her hand, finding a small pouch of gold coins. Huo Yuhao still paid her for awakening his martial soul, despite doing it for free.

"He's such an interesting child." She said while looking at the northern gate. Xiao Xiao's small figure came into her vision, making her curious about something.

Mo Roxue pondered for a second and asked, "Hey, child. May I know what you are talking about with his mom?

"It's a secret, sister. I can't tell you." Xiao Xiao responded with a giggle.

"..." Mo Roxue was speechless.

Xiao Xiao watched the blue horizon that reminded her of Huo Yuhao's royal blue eyes. "Let's meet again in six years, Yun Long." She whispered to herself. contemporary romance

...

Huo Yun'er hugged Huo Yuhao in the carriage and felt a rush of spiritual energy back into her head. A droplet of blood fell from her nose, making her son look worried.

"Mom, are you okay??" Huo Yuhao worriedly asked while checking her condition.

She laughed and answered, "I've canceled the illusion. It used more energy than it should have because I maintained it for too long, hehe~."

"Yae said I need to absorb my first spirit ring before using Deity-level illusion. Your mom is clumsy."

"Drink this. It will ease your mind." Huo Yuhao stuffed her nose with a clean cloth and picked a potion to make her feel better.

He sighed and added, "You should tell me sooner, and pushing yourself like this isn't good at all."

"Yeah, I'll do that in the future." Huo Yun'er drank the potion and leaned on Huo Yuhao's shoulder. "You know... I've listened to your daily story when doing my legacy trial."

"I was moved and felt useless at the same time. Just for a moment, I thought, "Hao'er need to see how powerful I had become." and used the illusion to cover my weakness."

"Hao'er, you should have noticed this. I love you, and it makes me desperate..." She fell asleep because of the potion's effect.

Huo Yuhao sighed and said, "This will be a long day. As long as we cross the border, the White Tiger Clan shouldn't be able to track us."

"Have a nice nap, mom."

"Evo, Status."

"Level 20..." Huo Yuhao frowned while staring at the system panel. "Is this related to the Supreme Innate Full Spirit?"

[Yes, the Supreme Innate Full Spirit only happens when one has "Extremely powerful." Martial Soul. And the last person recorded with this awakening is Qian Renxue, who possessed Seraphim Martial Soul] Evo explained monotonously.

"Well, that makes things simple for me. Does that mean I can absorb two spirit rings without any problem?" He narrowed his eyes.

[That's correct]

"Extremely Powerful, huh."

Huo Yuhao checked his new martial soul and clicked to create additional system panels. His blue eyes widened when reading the description.

[Name: Eyes of the Lord] free(w)ebnovel(.)com

[Type: Martial Soul]

[Description: Eyes of the Lord was a strong Martial Soul affected by High Human's Lineage, having immense control over Spiritual Realm and ability to see and replicate even God's Movement]

[Innate Ability: Heavenly Mirror, replicate one's movement inside out like a reflection]

[Name: Chains of Heaven]

[Type: Martial Soul]

[Description: Chains of Heaven is a heaven-defying chain that could bind even a god. It has innate spatial and suppression attributes on the enemy, sealing their abilities and strengths with ease]

[Innate Skill: Suppression, Seal enemy based on the percentage of your strength and Spirit Energy]

"Oh, that explained many things. They are broken and versatile for all situations, allowing me to copy and suppress anyone above me. Even though I doubt Chains of Heaven could suppress much at my current level." Huo Yuhao naturally commented because he had to do some tests later.

"Though I grasped all my martial souls' effectiveness. Chaotic Purgatory Dragon covered my physical aspect, Eyes of the Lord clearly based on my spiritual power. And lastly, Chains of Heavens weakened my enemy."

The combination was out of common sense, considering Huo Yuhao doesn't feel a backlash when using two or more martial souls simultaneously. He also could switch between three of them, like breathing.

Finally, Chains of Heaven depleted the most Spirit Energy out of the three. Not saying the other Martial Soul didn't use Spirit Energy. Chaotic Purgatory Dragon and Eyes of the Lord used Naga's Bloodline and Spiritual Energy more, which is an acceptable deal for Huo Yuhao.

"And there are Demonic Changes." Huo Yuhao muttered while feeling White Tiger's bloodline in his veins. He harnessed the feeling and noticed faint white furs covering his skin. "All my senses strengthened without consuming any energy but stamina."

Huo Yuhao's nose fiddled a little because he smelled blood not far away from this place. He used Kenbunshoku Haki and Eyes of the Lord, overlooking some broken carriages with blood and corpse everywhere.

The carriage moved toward the place and stopped awkwardly because the driver was shocked by the scenery.

"S-Sir, What happened outside?" Huo Yuhao changed the tone of his voice and asked cluelessly. His childish voice awakened the driver back to reality.

The driver breathed slowly to calm himself and responded, "A group of mountain bandits seemed to attack these carriages not long ago. Stay inside, kid. I'll check for any survivors."

Huo Yuhao shrugged and placed a pillow below his mother's head, jumping outside the carriage. He utilized wide-ranged Kenbunshoku this time and tried to sense living beings within 250 meters.

"D-Don't come here! Don't kill me!" A scream was coming from afar.

He kicked the ground and approached the sound, finding himself on the cliff. A bad-looking guy was pointing a sharp blade at a young lady around his age.

"Ah yes... Another cliche." Huo Yuhao felt Deja Vu and predicted a quest to come next.

[Ding! Emergency Quest]

"Come on, Give me a break."
