Chapter Fifty-Eight: Mission Complete—Guidance

Mu Yang smiled and said nothing more. In his memory, they would soon encounter evil soul masters, and the team would suffer heavy losses. There would be no fatalities, but many would be injured.

...

"Here, tie it around your waist," Wang Yan handed a long rope to Huo Yuhao. One end of the rope was fitted with a special buckle, which could be fastened around the chest, abdomen, and thighs. The rope was over thirty meters long.

Huo Yuhao took the rope and secured it around himself. By now, he understood that this kind of rope was specially designed for use with flying soul tools. When soul masters of different cultivation levels traveled together, the higher-ranked master could use the rope to help the lower-ranked one, allowing both to fly farther and faster together.

It wasn’t just Huo Yuhao who received a rope—everyone did, including Wang Yan himself. In the end, all the rope ends were gathered into Elder Xuan’s hands.

Elder Xuan looked at Mu Yang and said, "Your flying soul tools may not match my speed, but the difference isn’t much. You should head to the hotel in the Star Luo Empire first and wait for our news."

"Alright. Sister, there’s not much soul power left in the soul power bottle. Let’s share a flying soul tool," Mu Yang said.

The Snow Empress simply nodded, and Mu Yang picked her up in his arms, activated the flying soul tool, and headed for the Star Luo Empire.

"Sister," Mu Yang said during the flight.

"Hmm?" The Snow Empress looked at him in confusion.

"How about we make a bet?" Mu Yang suggested.

"Alright, what shall we bet on?" the Snow Empress replied.

"I bet that among those who just left, some will die, some will be severely injured, and only Huo Yuhao and the others with the lowest cultivation will come away unharmed," Mu Yang said.

"And what are the stakes?" The Snow Empress was slightly taken aback—she hadn’t considered that the group who just left might run into trouble. After all, Elder Xuan was not the strongest soul master, but he was among the very best.

"If you win, I’ll agree to one reasonable request of yours. If I win, you have to teach me your cultivation techniques and how to use soul power. Is that fair?" Mu Yang proposed.

"Agreed," the Snow Empress answered. In truth, even without the wager, she would have agreed to Mu Yang’s request.

"Then let’s wait for them at the hotel," Mu Yang said, speeding up as he flew toward the hotel in the Star Luo Empire.

...Time skips to after the Shrek group is ambushed by evil soul masters and later reunites with Mu Yang and the Snow Empress at the hotel.

After Huo Yuhao explained the situation to Mu Yang and the Snow Empress, the Snow Empress could no longer conceal her astonishment.

Once they entered Mu Yang’s room, the Snow Empress asked, "Can you see the future?"

If Mu Yang truly could foresee the future, it would explain why everything had been arranged so meticulously since the Snow Empress took human form.

Mu Yang looked at her and said, "Sister, I can’t see the future. That’s not something I’m capable of—not yet, anyway. I just know a few secrets. I lost the bet, so I’ll hold up my end. Sister, please teach me how to use and cultivate soul power."

"Very well." Since Mu Yang didn’t want to elaborate, the Snow Empress did not press him.

She began with the basics of soul power utilization, sharing all her insights and understanding on the subject.

The next day.

[Congratulations, Host, on completing the task: Guidance.
Reward obtained: Optimal Age-Matched Soul Ring.]

Mu Yang took out a pure white metal sphere, emanating a sense of advanced technology. This was the system’s reward—the optimal age-matched soul ring...
