--- Chapter 318 ---

Raikou!

Huo Yuhao's eyes widened in disbelief because he saw one of the girls, Minamoto-no-Raikou, sleeping inside a crystal that fell from the sky. 

However, he couldn't help but question her sudden appearance.

Why now? 

After eight years of monotonous days, Huo Yuhao became overcautious regarding random events and things. He has prepared enough to fight the Phantom Lord with everything he has accumulated. 

"Evo, did you sense any negative signs?" 

Huo Yuhao sighed in relief and vanished from the mountain peak, arriving at the crystal's side. He grabbed the falling meteor-like crystal with one hand and stopped as if it were a fallen cotton. 

He stared into the crystal with the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao and noticed Raikou was in a deep sleep. Even her soul is asleep. 

Kacha!

Huo Yuhao put a bit of strength into the crystal to shatter it into pieces, leaving the perfectly intact Raikou. The milfy servant is still wearing the summer dress with a white coat above it. 

[Her soul is in a state of Eternal Sleep] 

[You can't wake her up with a 'common' method]

[It's...]

"It's a curse, I know." Huo Yuhao already diagnosed Raikou's condition. 

Medical Skill is one of many things that Huo Yuhao developed after being trapped in the Stasis Timeline. Thankfully, he had abundant test subjects here.

As Huo Yuhao thought of a method, his eyes suddenly lit up. 

Huo Yuhao used the Concept of Plundering, robbing the Eternal Sleep's curse from Raikou's soul. He also used the Cursed Divinity from the Cursed God to swallow the curse. 

[Ding! You have swallowed Phantom Dream Curse]

Huo Yuhao digested the power of the Phantom Dream Curse and snorted as he looked up. "There, huh?" 

"No wonder I couldn't find something wrong about this realm." He gazed at the full white moon in the sky. 

Even though the planet's side is still in the middle of the day, the white moon still hangs in the sky. The sun is still the brightest, providing the perfect cover for the moon. 

"Little Bastard, I finally found you." 

Huo Yuhao carried Raikou like a princess and stepped into the mountain peak, folding the space like a walk in a park. 

Huang Qiu'er and Kuina are puzzled by his sudden disappearance, but their eyes widen at the sight of the unconscious Raikou.

"This is..." Kuina doesn't know Raikou, but Huang Qiu'er does. 

Huang Qiu'er hurriedly entered the hut and prepared a futon for Raikou, allowing Huo Yuhao to place the sleeping milf on it immediately. 

"Master, this person is?" Kuina curiously looked at the motherly woman. 

Huo Yuhao smiled, "My woman." 

Kuina raised her eyebrow at his answer, but Huang Qiu'er found nothing wrong because Raikou was definitely Huo Yuhao's woman. 

"Her name is Minamoto-no-Raikou. She was one of the girls like Qiu'er who followed me to this world." He added gently. 

"I have been looking for her for the past eight years. Today, I found her in the falling crystal meteor." 

'Master's smile...' Kuina knew Huo Yuhao was gentle, but she had never seen him this gentle before. 

Unknown to Kuina, Huo Yuhao was even gentler when he was with Huo Yun'er, Qianye Ying'er, and Scathach. 

Huang Qiu'er sat beside Huo Yuhao and asked, "When will Ms. Raikou wake up?" 

"Soon." Huo Yuhao answered calmly.

"I've already removed the curse from her soul." 

"Curse?" Huang Qiu'er frowned in displeasure.

Huo Yuhao nodded, "Yes, presumably from the moon." 

"The only place I haven't visited due to being too occupied with narrow vision." 

"So, the Phantom Lord is there?" 

"Most likely. I haven't visited the moon, so I can't be 100% sure." 

Huang Qiu'er was excited. They finally could escape this god-forsaken place and continued searching for other members.

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and added, "We will strike at night." 

"This time, I won't do it half-assedly." 

"I will assist you, Master." Huang Qiu'er assuringly smiled because she had ascended to godhood. 

"Me too!" Kuina didn't want to get left behind. 

Huo Yuhao rubbed Kuina's head. This adorable disciple is competitive with her senior sister. 

She is also fierce.

The fierceness is that of a cat. 

Kuina pouted because her master still treated her like a kid. She's a full-grown woman and wishes the latter could see her appeals.

"Let's test your blacksmithing skill." Huo Yuhao diverted the topic. "How many layers have you reached in the Burning Sky Hammer Technique?" 

Burning Sky Hammer Technique is the blacksmithing art that Huo Yuhao developed over the last eight years. It is a weaker version of Pagma's blacksmithing but more suitable for females, especially for Kuina.

This technique has no level cap because one can comprehend how to create something infinitely. 

The layers Huo Yuhao mentioned are just an indicator of how well Kuina has reviewed her skills, tempering them again and again. 

Kuina awkwardly twirled her long blue hair, "Uh, about that." 

"I only managed to reach the 300th layer this morning." 

"300th layer?" Huo Yuhao was once again amazed by Kuina's talent in blacksmithing. "Your blacksmithing skill already surpassed your late grandfather." 

Yes, Huang Qiu'er stared at her junior like she was a monster. 

She also learned the Burning Sky Hammer Technique and could only reach the 169th layer after eight years. 

Kuina shook her head stubbornly, "But I haven't reached Saint-level like Jiisan." 

Huo Yuhao smiled wryly. This girl is ambitious. 

Although Kozaburo reached Saint-level, it took him everything. Yes, even his life.

For Kuina to reach the same level, she has to have enlightenment or polish her skills for three more years. She has too many things in her hand. 

Spirit Master's Cultivation.

Concept Visualization.

Swordsmanship Training.

And finally, Blacksmithing Training. 

She can't be too good at them simultaneously. That would make her foundation weak. 

She's not Huo Yuhao. 

But Huo Yuhao thrived to make Kuina a better version of herself. 

After that, Huo Yuhao and Kuina went to the mountain workshop. It was beneath their hut, enchanted with runes and spatial seals. 

Huang Qiu'er obviously stayed, wanting to take care of Raikou. 

...

...

Workshop. 

The sound of a hammer hitting iron echoed in the cave wall.

The burning forge lit up the area, framing a blue-haired young lady in her training. 

Clank! 

Ckank!

Kuina summoned her Clear Sky Fairy and held an azure-black hammer in her right hand. The little creature imitated Kuina's movement, creating shadows in the air. 

The shadows struck hot iron, shaping it. 

Huo Yuhao sat on the side, watching her silently. His mood lifted because Clear Sky Fairy is such a versatile Martial Soul. Its function is similar to his Palu. 

In fact, Huo Yuhao was very careful when guiding Kuina to develop the Clear Sky Fairy. 

One wrong mistake when absorbing Spirit Ring and Clear Sky Fairy would get ruined forever. 

[Name: Clear Sky Fairy (Awakened)]

[Type: Tool-type/Living Spirit (Variant)]

[Potential: SSS]

[Description: A mutated Clear Sky Hammer that developed the spiritual form of a fairy, possessing destruction and creation power. The Clear Sky Fairy has undergone a second awakening and gets a little wisp of Nebula Thunderfire, enhancing its origin further] 

[Essence Flame: Nebula Thunderfire's Wisp (99.5% Sealed)]

[Spirit Skill: Shadowy Sky, Sunny Sky, Cold Sky, Cloudy Sky, Azure Sky, Royal Sky, Clear Sky Fairy's Avatar (Sky Queen)]

Even though Clear Sky Fairy's spirit skills sound simple, each possessed the ability to aid Kuina in battle and blacksmithing. 

Kuina could control the weather in an open space. 

Meanwhile, she could use her spirit skills in a closed place like this to assist her blacksmithing. 

After hammering hot iron for minutes, Kuina is 'awfully' drenched in her own sweat. She breathed and forced herself to do one more hammer strike, marking the 100,000 tempering.

BAM!

Huo Yuhao gazed down at the shiny piece of iron on the anvil. Kuina has tempered it thoroughly, making it stronger than some heavenly mineral rocks. 

She even imbued it with her spirit, granting it spirituality. 

"That's the 100 pieces," Kuina murmured. "With these, I can do it." 

Huo Yuhao smiled, "Are you planning to make another blade?" 

"I thought Crownless and Irony have treated you well all these years?" 

Huo Yuhao is talking about Kuina's katanas. 

Kuina made her first weapon, Crownless, six years ago.

Her second weapon, Irony, was three years ago. 

Kuina rubbed her nose, "Crownless and Irony are my good friends, but they can't keep up with me. I can't be too emotional with them." 

"But I will definitely make them stronger later!" 

"Well, I will support your decision." Huo Yuhao chuckled. 

"So, what are you going to make?" 

Kuina looked down at her hammer and then beamed smugly at Huo Yuhao.

"I want to try new things. So, I will make a Tachi!"
