After awakening Mihawk and Carrot's Martial Souls, Huo Yuhao provides them with Spirit Circuits and Dragon Nest's cultivation methods, such as the Universal Breathing Methods and the modified Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Then, Huo Yuhao gives them a Black Rune Stone with a rare Spirit Beast inside each.
Since Mihawk awakened blood-related Martial Soul, Huo Yuhao gave him a rune stone from a 12,500-year-old Baleful Crimson King. It was a Spirit Beast with robust blood-manipulating power.
On the other hand, Carrot received a rune stone from a 10,000-year-old Azure Roots Mandrake. It will fit Carrot like a glove since her Martial Soul is a rare tool-type with heaven and earth's origin.
Huo Yuhao sat lazily on the sofa while Mihawk and Carrot cultivated their spirit energy. The silhouette of a massive blood-colored bat and dragon-shaped green vegetable appeared behind them.
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao heard a notification.
[Ding! The Azure Emperor Vault's Spirit, Palu, has sent you a message]
["Sword fixed, Yaya~!"]
Huo Yuhao shook his head because Palu had developed intelligence after some time. This slime is an adorable character.
He pulled the new Yoru and saw the oversized body and handguards had become smaller. The only thing that didn't change was the length of the blade.
Of course, in a fantasy world, balance almost means nothing. Mihwak's Yoru has always been famous for its size and jet-black blade.
Still, Palu fixed "Yoru" to meet its standard.
Seeing the well-balanced sword in his hand, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but say, "Not bad."
[Name: Yoru V2]
[Grade: SSS]
[Type: Weapon/Supreme Saint Grade Blade]
[Description: Yoru, the infamous sword of Dracule Mihawk. After getting destroyed by the clash between two sword masters, it broke apart and reforged into a new blade. Like a divine phoenix rebirth from ashes, Yoru become much more powerful than before and birthed a weapon spirit]
[Innate Ability: True Kokuto, Sword Spirit, Blood Connection]
Huo Yuhao sensed the sword in his hand trembling and raised his eyebrow in surprise, "I see... You have sensed Mihawk's presence and wanted to return to him already."
"What a loyal sword."
Releasing Yoru from his hand, the black sword hurriedly hovered around Mihawk like that of a pet. Mihawk also sensed Yoru's presence and slowly opened his eyes.
"This..." Mihawk's eyes widened slightly. "Yoru!"
The black sword hummed happily. It seemed Mihawk could recognize it immediately.
"Yuhao-sama, you have forged Yoru back?"
"I thought it would take some time..."
Huo Yuhao snorted coldly, "Who do you think I am? Your sword is just a Supreme Grade Blade. It means nothing in the vast universe."
"..." Mihawk. That's true.
Even though Mihawk doesn't want to admit it, many weapons are better than his Yoru. Heck! Since Mihawk came from the Myriad Heaven Realm, he knew some Divine Weapons that could put Yoru in the ditch.
Huo Yuhao stopped by the particular statue beneath the "Sacred Pillar" and saw it with an amused expression.
The white stone statue shows a handsome young man in loose clothes and a black robe, holding a staff on his shoulder. He has an easygoing, almost sunny expression, giving anyone who sees him a comforting feeling.
Looking at that smile also makes one feel safe.
"Mom, Mom, look! That big brother looks like Captain Jack Sparrow!" A cutesy voice shouted in excitement.
Huo Yuhao glanced to the left and caught an adorable young girl in a blue summer dress. She pointed her little finger at Huo Yuhao and held onto a woman's hand, who looked like an adult version of herself.
Gasp!
The woman covered her mouth in shock when staring at Huo Yuhao. She couldn't believe her eyes for a moment.
"A-Are you..." She stuttered.
Huo Yuhao smiled faintly and nodded, causing the woman to bow toward him.
"Carrie, bow!" The woman even made her only child bow.
"Eh?" The girl didn't understand this gesture.
"I-It's our pleasure to meet you-!"
Huo Yuhao waved his hand, "Get up. You don't need to bow."
"For now, keep my arrival a secret, okay?" After saying that, Huo Yuhao looked at the little girl named Carrie and placed his finger on his lips.
Then, Huo Yuhao vanished into thin air.
"Wow, magic~!" Carrie was amazed.
Meanwhile, Carrie's mother held her breath and couldn't hide her excitement because Elwood's guardian had returned!
Huo Yuhao appeared in the shopping district and finally met with one of the girls, Huang Qiu'er.
Huang Qiu'er is staring at the stall, with several rare necklaces on the display. The things on the display are nothing extraordinary, but she shows so much interest.
Her Dragon's instinct to collect treasure is 'finally' awakened.
Huo Yuhao approached her from behind and asked, "Do you want them?"
Huang Qiu'er yelped, "Ah, Master! You're here."
"So, do you want them?" asked Huo Yuhao with a smile.
The Dragon Goddess leered at the necklaces and stubbornly shook her head, which made Huo Yuhao chuckle.
Such an Adorable Little Liar.
Huo Yuhao called the stall owner and said, "Boss, show me all your necklaces."
"Right away, sir!" The stall owner didn't recognize Huo Yuhao because he was a merchant who just entered Elwood today. So, he was more excited about potential buyers.
He grabbed some wooden boxes and placed them on the table.
"Master, you don't have to do that." Huang Qiu'er pouted at Huo Yuhao. Her heart is warm, though.
Huo Yuhao winked playfully, "But I want to."
"Now choose."
"Then..." Huang Qiu'er tip-toed and looked around for necklaces.
