Huo Yuhao ignored Evo's notifications and quickly swept over a mountain with Extreme Lightning Movement. He lifted Baruka's Dagger and decided to upgrade it mid-battle with a Gold Upgrading Ticket.
[Using 1 Gold Upgrading Ticket on Baruka's Dagger(A)]
"You have served me well, Baruka's Dagger." Huo Yuhao said with a low tone while dodging a flying rock. "Now, it's your time to be upgraded like my other items."
[High Roller(Passive) activated]
[Upgrading...]
[...]
[You have upgraded Baruka's Dagger to Ice Elven Queen's Dagger]
Huo Yuhao watched the gleaming-white dagger in his hand become slightly longer with a leaner tip and darker handle. It qualifies as a short sword but maintains the former's slender quality with an ice-like edge. And the Ice Elven Queen's Dagger released an intense coldness that made the surrounding temperature drop.
[Name: Ice Elven Queen's Dagger]
[Type: Weapon/Dagger]
[Grade: S+]
[Description: A treasured weapon of the Ice Elven Queen made from the coldest material in the Frost World, carrying a powerful authority over the ice element. And Unlike usual weapons, this dagger was carved utilizing Elven power and blessed ancestral magic to "extremely." lighten one's weight up]
[Innate Effect: +50% Movement Speed and Freezing's Debuff added when attacking enemy]
[Innate Skills: Ice Manipulation, Linked Strike, Hyakki's Presence]
"And there she is. You're more beautiful now." Huo Yuhao smiled and felt his weight lighten up several times, coursing with Ice Element from the dagger itself. His body slowly was covered by a thin layer of ice.
"I'll call you Frost from now on."
Huo Yuhao ducked down and moved his gaze to the incoming Two-Faced Giant spirit beast. Advalon is a growing land of opportunity, having nearly endless resources because the place itself is Self-Evolving based on Huo Yuhao's surroundings.
"This would be my 144th kill, I Guess." He killed over one hundred spirit beasts in the past 30 minutes, and all of them turned into light energy similar to or not close enough to the experience points in the RPG-based game. This energy increases Huo Yuhao's Spirit Power, but not by much because his overall quality is higher.
[Name: Two-Faced Giant]
[Type: Spirit Beast/Dungeon Monster]
[Age: 30.000 years old]
[Description: Two-Faced Giant is a spirit beast with a human-like appearance and enormous muscular physique over 15 meters height, having two faces on the side of its head. It constantly releases a green light that could make one's fear intensify and stunned on the field for a certain period]
Huo Yuhao waved Frost and heard Evo's notification, rushing toward the Two-Faced Giant with ice elements gathering in the atmosphere.
[Assassin Class was in effect]
WRYYYYY!!!
The giant roared at Huo Yuhao and hit him with intense green light from the four of its eyes. However, the blue-haired teenager clearly was unfazed because such weak intimidation wasn't enough to scare him.
"Get good, bro." Huo Yuhao released his Haoshoku Haki and made the air tremble in terror. "That's not enough to scare me."
He leaped toward the Two-Faced Giant and waved the Frost gently, creating a thin wave of ice in the air. A burst of energy swept over the area and left the spirit beast with a decapitated head.
[You have killed Two-Faced Giant]
"Well, Frost makes that easier." Huo Yuhao casually commented while watching the corpse explode into a bunch of white light energy. "Also, I haven't gotten any spirit bones so far."
Clack!
A skull bone dropped from the decapitated head and landed beside Huo Yuhao. "Nevermind." He said with a weak smile.
[Two-Faced Giant's Skull]
[Type: Spirit Bone/Skull]
[Age: 30.000]
[Description: A skull bone of the Two-Faced Giant, possessing a spirit skill, "Intimidation." that weakens the opponent's will to fight by 75%]
"Not bad. I can reward this to someone later." A black spirit ring emerged from thin air and hovered silently.
Huo Yuhao threw the skull and black spirit ring into his inventory and kept exploring Advalon with the Extreme Lightning Movement, killing a bunch of Spirit Beasts. And he noticed something after a few hours of hunting. There are no 100.000 years old Spirit Beasts.
"The oldest spirit beast around is roughly below 70.000 years old, and that's only applied to boss-like room areas within Advalon's landscape. Well, it's fine because Advalon is still evolving anyway."
"The danger is close to zero for people like higher-ups of the Dragon Nest and me, but other members would benefit from hunting here a lot. It's a good training ground."
Huo Yuhao pondered for a while and peeked into his messy inventory, seeing a bunch of spirit rings and spirit bones. Spirit Masters from the Douluo Continent would have wide-opened mouths and shocked looks when seeing this scenery.
"Ex Rank Luck is a literal godsent." He chuckled while placing Frost into his inventory. "It was the right call to upgrade it with a Platinum Upgrading Ticket."
"That's four hours here."
Huo Yuhao yawned and continued, "Let's return and prepare something to eradicate some pests from Dragon Nest."
...
...
A white light appeared in the underground training room, and Huo Yuhao walked out of thin air, looking around with a vigilant gaze. He shrugged and created a wormhole connected to the backyard because it was convenient.
"I'm back." He said while pushing the backdoor, seeing three people waiting for him.
"Hmm??"
"Why the long face, Shishou?"
Scathach crossed her arms below her growing chest and stared at Huo Yuhao with a somewhat solemn look. "What happened down there?" She seriously questioned.
"Yeah, I liked to know about that too." The Auspicious Monarch spoke her thoughts.
Huo Yuhao opened his mouth and replied, "Let me take a shower first. I've been hunting for four hours."
"Err, okay?"
He disappeared with a lightning flash and entered the bathroom with a relieved expression because none of them followed him there. He was about to close the door and saw Huo Yun'er with a smile waiting inside.
"Hehe, I know you'd be here, Hao'er~!" A giggle escaped Huo Yun'er mouth. She has been reading Luck Qi in the atmosphere and noticed most of them ended here.
"Good morning, mom." Huo Yuhao smiled at her.
"So... Are we going to bathe together?"
Huo Yun'er was wrapped in a white towel and had her blonde hair tied in a bun. She stood on the edge of the bathtub with a coy smile.
"Of course~!" She winked while walking toward him.
Huo Yun'er helped Huo Yuhao remove his training clothes and marveled at every inch of his body. She stared down and licked her lips in excitement a little. Her beloved son cannot be considered normal at a young age.
Huo Yuhao smelled the fragrance from Huo Yun'er and grabbed her hand. "Mom, you're not going to do it now, right?" He asked while staring at her pinkish eyes. "You deserved a better meaningful moment than just doing it in a bathroom, you know."
Huo Yuhao was stunned and giggled again, "Mom might be thirsty, but I can hold myself pretty well, Hao'er. And like you said, I won't do it here~!"
"I just wanted to take a bath together with you."
"Oh, we ran out of soap..."
"Soap..." Huo Yuhao muttered while taking the Heavenly Soap from his inventory. A smooth white bar of soap appeared in his hand. "I have one here, but this thing is too dangerous for normal usage."
"It's just a soap bar, Hao'er. Nothing dangerous about it." Huo Yun'er responded while snatching the Heavenly Soap from his hand. As the soap bar made contact with her skin, it slipped off and fell onto the bathroom floor.
"Oh no-? I mean, yes?"
"Kyaa~!"
Huo Yun'er tried to grab the Heavenly Soap and slipped on the floor, making Huo Yuhao fall onto her breast. Their lips met with each other and nudged passionately.
Huo Yuhao explored her mouth for a few minutes and realized their situation. Huo Yun'er hugged Huo Yuhao tightly and melted in his care. It's just pure kissing with no other touches, but it was so hot.
"Hao'er, you're so bold." Huo Yun'er blushed when parting her lips from Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but chuckle in defeat and grabbed the Heavenly Soap with his left hand, which made him magically slip, and positioned Huo Yun'er on top of him for some reason.
"It's a happy accident..."
"Hao'er~!" Huo Yun'er took the lead and kissed Huo Yuhao's lips again, biting gently onto his nape afterward.
"Mhhn~!"
"Mom~."
After several minutes of intense french-kissing, Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun'er gasped for air. They stared at each other warmly and heard a sudden knock from someone outside.
Knock! Knock~!
The Auspicious Monarch knocked and asked, "I noticed an odd change in the natural law. Are you guys okay there?"
"Y-Yeah, we are fine." Huo Yun'er cleared her throat and replied from inside. "Nothing wrong happened here."
"Right, Hao'er?"
Huo Yuhao nodded and added, "Everything is alright."
They stared at each other for a few seconds and laughed because the mood "suddenly." was ruined. Huo Yuhao has to admit Heavenly Soap is "extremely." effective and dangerous when used in the bathroom. He can't imagine bringing this item with anyone but his companion.
"Let me wash your body, Hao'er." Huo Yun'er said with a slight flush.
"Sure."
Nothing special happened in the bathroom, and Huo Yun'er washed over her son's back gently, scrubbing every sweat off with Heavenly Soap. Intense yet pleasing pheromones hit Huo Yun'er and made her move more sensual, but that's it.
They ended up in the bathtubs, and Huo Yuhao rested his head lightly on his mother's soft bosom. "The soap, let's use it again later." He said, to which Huo Yun'er responded with a nod.
"Fufu~ It's such an amazing item~!"
...
...
"Well, let's talk about the backyard event." Huo Yuhao returned to the living room with a towel on his head. He rubbed his hair gently and sat on the sofa, facing Scathach and Auspicious Monarch.
"I've discovered a dungeon. It's tied to me, specifically." He continued, which left Scathach speechless.
"Eh?" Even though the God Slayer and Auspicious Monarch both have the same reaction, Scathach is the only one who knows about Dungeon.
"You have a reality marble tied on your soul? How is that possible?" Scathach returned with a frown.
Huo Yuhao opened his mouth slowly and replied, "It's part of my power, Shishou."
"Um, what's the dungeon?" The Auspicious Monarch asked while tilting her head in confusion.
"A secret realm with its own natural rules and order. I discovered this place out of pure luck, and you should have noticed that right away, no?" Huo Yuhao replied because the Auspicious Monarch could read Luck Qi in the air like Huo Yun'er.
Huo Yuhao explained Advalon's existence to them excellently and watched Scathach's expression change a few times. Well, they are mostly "shocked." and "confused." about this ridiculous event. And he didn't lie because the Self-Evolving Dungeon literally was obtained randomly out of pure luck.
Scathach sighed and commented, "Haa... You're getting more and more mysterious, Yuhao."
"People say that often about me. I'll take that as a compliment from you, Shishou." Huo Yuhao responded with a grin. "Anyway, I'll introduce Advalon to everyone after cleaning some pests."
"Oh, is it time?" Scathach's red eyes glowed dimly.
"It is the same for that, Shishou."
The Auspicious Monarch put on a confused look and asked, "What are you two talking about?"
"Just a normal house cleaning." Huo Yuhao answered casually.
