"I wonder what the relationship is between this Ice Bear King and the two of you?"
The leader of the garrison asked with a stiff expression.
He had seen "obedient" spirit beasts before, but one this powerful and obedient? This was a first for him!
"This is the Radiant Ice Bear King, Little White. He's my contracted partner. You can think of him as my pet."
Huo Yuhao replied without batting an eye.
Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but gasp in shock!
Good heavens, such a powerful being was actually this young man's pet?
How terrifying!
"Well… uh… your pet's size is simply too large. He can't enter the city!"
The garrison leader said somewhat tactfully.
As for how Huo Yuhao had acquired such a pet, he didn't dare to ask, nor did he dare to bring it up.
Every spirit master had their own secrets, especially powerful ones. To be able to contract such a formidable being, this young man was clearly no ordinary person!
"Oh, we're just passing through. We weren't planning on entering the city anyway."
"Besides, a city this small? I can't be bothered to go in!"
"Husband Yuhao, Little White, let's go!"
Upon hearing this, the undead Little White decisively bypassed the city ahead and began moving toward another area.
Everyone: "…"
A city this small?
Can't be bothered to enter?
Was it that their city was small?
No, it was just that this mutated Ice Bear King was simply too massive!
Radiant Ice Bear King?
This was the first time they'd ever heard of such a thing!
With its massive size came certain advantages. With each step, the undead Little White covered dozens of meters.
As an undead creature, fatigue was nonexistent, making it a true "perpetual motion machine."
As long as the Radiant Flame didn't extinguish, the undead Little White could keep moving indefinitely.
News of a mutated Ice Bear King emerging from the Far North spread like wildfire.
And unlike other spirit beasts, this one was "controlled" by a human!
To put it more nicely, it was a young man's pet!
Some scoffed at this, refusing to believe it.
Others were curious, wanting to see this mutated Ice Bear King and the human boy for themselves!
All the major factions received the news, and Shrek Academy was no exception.
"A young boy and girl, around twelve or thirteen years old, and an Ice Bear King…"
Mu En muttered to himself, feeling that this pair seemed somewhat familiar.
After a moment, he turned to Xuan Zi and said, "Xuan Zi, go and investigate this matter as quickly as possible."
"If they're transformed spirit beasts, bring them back."
"Yes, Elder Mu!"
Xuan Zi cupped his hands and replied with a serious expression.
He had been itching to go out for a while now but hadn't had the opportunity.
Now, the opportunity had arrived!
With that, Xuan Zi's figure vanished from the spot as he dashed toward the north.
Xuan Zi was fast, but the Titled Douluo from the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires weren't slow either.
In fact, they had received the information even earlier than Shrek Academy!
"Hiss… so this is the mutated Ice Bear King?"
"I've seen the Titan Snow Demon King, one of the three great kings of the Far North, and its size is comparable to this!"
"It's just as the rumors say. This mutated Ice Bear King obeys these two young ones without question."
"Has anyone figured out the identities of these two?"
"They're pure humans. There's no spirit beast aura on them."
"It seems this boy got lucky and somehow managed to form a contract with this mutated Ice Bear King."
There wasn't just one Titled Douluo present, but a total of six!
Three from the Heavenly Soul Empire and three from the Dou Ling Empire.
These six Titled Douluo were the guardian Douluo of their respective empires and represented the pinnacle of their nations' strength.
As for the hidden Titled Douluo, they hadn't shown themselves like these six had.
"Gentlemen, this is within the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire."
One of the Heavenly Soul Empire's Titled Douluo spoke up, his meaning clear: it was time to divide the spoils!
The contract was a resource, and the mutated Ice Bear King's spirit ring and spirit bone were also resources.
As for the boy and girl? They were just a couple of lucky kids!
Hearing this, the Dou Ling Empire's guardian Douluo exchanged glances, feeling somewhat unwilling.
"The spirit bone and the contract method!"
"We'll only share the contract method!"
"Deal!"
The Dou Ling Empire's guardian Douluo nodded. Their goal was indeed the contract method.
As for the mutated Ice Bear King's spirit ring, they couldn't make use of it anyway. After an hour, the spirit ring would vanish.
As for the spirit bone? These guys wouldn't give it up!
With the negotiations complete, the six of them exchanged smiles.
The hidden Titled Douluo watching from the shadows snorted coldly. If they hadn't been acting independently, how could these guys have divided the spoils right in front of them?
Of course, they weren't willing to leave either!
What if they could snatch some benefits in the chaos?
Without hesitation, the six Titled Douluo activated their martial souls and swiftly intercepted the mutated Ice Bear King.
Greed flashed in their eyes as they stared intently at Huo Yuhao and Hua Huo.
Seeing this, a hint of mockery appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and the corners of his lips curled into a slight smile.
He had truly mastered the art of "fishing."
When he had "summoned" the undead Little White, he had anticipated this situation. That's why he hadn't hesitated to bring the undead Little White out!
The bigger the commotion, the more fun it would be!
"Six Titled Douluo, what do you intend by stopping us?"
Huo Yuhao stood atop Little White's head, his hands behind his back, showing no trace of panic. It was as if he didn't regard these Titled Douluo as a threat at all.
Hua Huo, meanwhile, sat on Little White's head, swinging her legs, looking as if she was watching a show.
Seeing this, the group was slightly stunned but then chuckled.
Had this human boy, having stumbled upon a stroke of luck, forgotten his own combat capabilities?
He must be getting too full of himself!
To remain so calm in the face of six Titled Douluo, he probably had no idea just how terrifying a Titled Douluo could be!
"Kid, we're not going to waste words with you. Hand over the contract method and the mutated Ice Bear King, and we might spare your life."
"Kid, something like this is beyond your control. Better to hand it over to me, and I'll take care of it for you!"
The group spoke up.
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's lips curled slightly, and a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes…
To speak so grandly, yet it all boiled down to greed.
Tsk… shameless old men.
"No matter who you six are or which faction you represent, you need to know who stands before you!"
Huo Yuhao's expression remained unchanged, as if he looked down on these six.
Hearing this, the six Titled Douluo were momentarily confused.
What was this kid getting at?
"Standing before you is the third heir of the Sea God Pavilion, the contracted partner of the Radiant Ice Bear King Little White, and the fiancé of the most beautiful, most radiant, and most benevolent Lady Hua Huo in the universe, Huo Yuhao!"
