A Coincidental Realization

--- Chapter 416 ---

"..." Zoey stared at the black-colored water droplet above Huo Yuhao's palm. She rubbed her eyes, making sure she didn't see wrong, but there was nothing wrong with her vision.

FUCK!

THIS GUY IS CHEATING!!

Of course, Zoey is being unreasonable right now. Deep in her heart, she knew that Huo Yuhao achieved this with his effort and intellect. 

While "Concept Stabiliers" allow a person to revert an item to its purest state through concepts, mastery of that power does not come instantly.

Zoey had observed Huo Yuhao for less than a day and knew he wasn't an impulsive learner. Her observation is never wrong. 

So, Huo Yuhao would not have reached the entry stage of the Obsidian Sea without sufficient knowledge. In simple terms, his achievements are 'naturally' linked to his remarkable learning speed.

No, calling it remarkable is downplaying it.

It's terrifying!

Zoey thought Huo Yuhao's talent was already scary enough. But it seems she was blind, after all.

Even though Huo Yuhao only reached the threshold of the Obsidian Sea, don't forget that it only took him less than a day to do this. 

As Zoey remembered, the most talented individual from the Obsidian Sacred Heritage took three years to achieve the same result.

"A year..." Zoey still remembered her earlier evaluation of Huo Yuhao. If he could impress her within this one year, she would allow him to inherit the Obsidian Sacred Heritage. That was her inner assessment.

But who would have thought this hateful guy was not playing by the rules and learning Obsidian Sea in a much smaller time frame?

"Uugh, my poor heart." 

"Is this the sign of my Obsidian Sacred Heritage's rise?" 

Zoey sighed and decided to observe Huo Yuhao with an open mind from now on. Of course, she would still criticize him from time to time.

He only learned [Obsidian Sea]. Mastering it is a different matter.

"Even then, I wonder if he could master the Primordial Obsidian..." 

"Since my heritage and him have a karmic connection, there must be a chance of him doing so." 

"Ahhh!"

"I don't know!"

"Where is my drink!" 

...

...

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao focused on the destruction caused by the entry-level Obsidian Sea. He faintly saw the fragments of Mirror Dimension flying harmlessly in all directions. 

"Resonate with the spirit of the sea, whispering the old name of ebony."

"Tasting the blood of ancestors, once again. Here I am, praying for myself and my relatives." 

"Oh, earthly spirit. Grant me your protection and everlasting warmth in this very darkness." 

Huo Yuhao wondered while rubbing his chin, "Out of three sentences, the entry-level I comprehended only adequate for the first one. It means I only learned 1/3 of the Obsidian Sea's true power."

"Blackening the sea with space elements and then warping them into a droplet of water, which holds the entire sea as a means of attack and protection." 

"The first appliance is a Great Tide Breakthrough, releasing all the forces immediately and crushing everything around it." 

"The second appliance is Infinite Sea Multiplication, creating an infinitely expanding barrier made of space-water elements." 

"I only learned these two so far, which was a little disheartening." 

"Well, I still need to learn more." 

Huo Yuhao sighed and exited the broken Mirror Dimension, storing the "Obsidian Droplet" in his body. This water droplet shouldn't come out so 'easily' because he hasn't fully mastered Obsidian Sea's Chapter.

In fact, Huo Yuhao already had an idea of integrating all of Obsidian's powers into his ultimate techniques.

Huo Yuhao yawned, rubbing his neck lazily, "It shouldn't have taken that long." 

"Huh, it's night already?" Huo Yuhao looked outside the window, finding the previous sun replaced by the white moon.

"Dinner, honey?" A pleasant voice greeted Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao turned around and saw Raikou coming with a big tray of food, smiling at him warmly. He smiled back and sat down, eating dinner with her.

"There was no problem when I was away, right?" asked Huo Yuhao while shoving into his mouth. 

Raikou pondered momentarily before answering, "As far as I know, there are none. Well, Hancock and others seemed to be looking for you earlier." 

"They brought in some interesting Devil Fruits." 

"They said they wanted to trade them for Divine Tools?" 

"Do you want to see them?" 

"Let's check them out after dinner." Huo Yuhao replied calmly. "I don't want to waste your food." 

"Is that so?" Raikou giggled, enjoying watching Huo Yuhao eat her food with gusto. No other man would have such privilege.

After filling his stomach with Raikou's homemade dish, Huo Yuhao and Raikou went to the small warehouse in the backyard. Upon entering the warehouse, he saw a bunch of selves with Devil Fruits and a brief introduction beneath them.

"Two, four, eight, sixteen, thirty-two, no, thirty-three." Huo Yuhao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "Well, they are actually so excited to gather so many Devil Fruits." 

"Although some Devil Fruits aren't powerful, their potential will increase upon receiving Timeless Order's baptism." 

"My Divine Tools are so tempting, huh?" 

Raikou rolled her eyes, "Honey, I don't know if you just act like one or are ignorant of the Divine Tool's value, but even I don't have Divine Tools besides the one you give me." 

"Do you want some?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smile.

This question caught Raikou off guard. She didn't expect Huo Yuhao to be this straightforward. But then, again. Huo Yuhao is Her HONEY!

It's normal to get spoiled by my HONEY, RIGHT???

Gears seemed to rotate in Raikou's head, but she hurriedly coughed and replied, "I think I will stick with the bow you give me. Having too many Divine Tools might not be good for me." 

"Here, take this ring." Huo Yuhao pulled Raikou's hand gently and slid a silver-blue ring with divine rune inscriptions down her finger. "This ring is named Forget-Me-Not, and it has many functions, from offsetting fatal damage to resurrection." 

"However, this main function is to nourish one's Divine Soul." 

"Wear it well, and your Divine Soul will become as strong as Godking with enough time." 

"This is too precious..." Raikou looked at the silver-blue ring with shining eyes. It would be a lie if she said she disliked this gift, but she couldn't accept it. 

"Take it. It is what you deserve." Huo Yuhao kissed her hand. 

Raikou's face blushed as her heart pounded like no tomorrow. "O-Okay, then." 

Huo Yuhao rubbed her palm gently before focusing on the Devil Fruits in the selves. Let's be honest here. Huo Yuhao didn't expect Boa Hancock and others to get Devil Fruits this fast. He also severely underestimated the hunger for Divine Tools, even low-level ones.

"Let's see..." 

"Most of them are Zoans and Paramecia, as expected. Five are Logia, and one is actually a natural element?" 

"Kusa-Kusa no Mi (Grass-Grass Fruit)." Huo Yuhao stared at the weird-looking green apple. 

"Grass, huh?" 

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but remember the most tenacious plants in the Douluo Planet, the Blue Silver Grass. Unremarkable at first glance, the Blue Silver Grass has tenacious vitality and an ability to grow in any environment.

After a certain amount of time, Blue Silver Grass could give birth to Blue Silver King and then Blue Silver Emperor. 

Blue Silver Emperor is one of Tang San's Martial Souls, but he ruined it by adding Spirit Rings from animal and poison-type.

Thinking about it, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but get irritated by a person titled "Grandmaster" by people in the Douluo Continent, mainly Shrek Academy.

A pretentious guy with big ambition but insufficient ability.

Looking at the Grass-Grass Fruit, Huo Yuhao brewed a wicked idea in his head. Since Tang San was so proud of his achievements, why didn't he exploit it as a weakness?

"Hehe, I forgot I shouldn't look at my enemy from one angle." 

"I overlooked Tang San's Martial Souls because his God's Positions are Sea God and Asura God, which makes no sense whatsoever as they have a connection..." 

"Blue Silver Grass has nothing to do with Sea." 

"You can kill people with a Hammer, but Asura God's Divine Tool is a FUCKING SWORD!" 

"On top of that, Tang San is from Tang Sect. A sect specializes in hidden weapon-making and assassination."

"If Tang San's ascension wasn't planned from birth, I wouldn't believe it." 

Huo Yuhao sneered, "It seemed the previous Sea God and Asura God aren't good people, too. They are too good at scheming..."
