My Power is Upgrading Everything (Rewrite)

Chapter 10: High Human?

--- Chapter 10 ---

The next day, White Tiger Mansion was in literal chaos because three maids oddly were murdered by someone without getting noticed. The guard couldn't find anything suspicious in the room and hadn't seen a shady person entering the Mansion Compound.

Like Huo Yuhao anticipated, no one placed suspicion on him and his mother because they would never expect them to do it. What could a weak maid and her six years old son do?

The White Tiger's guard couldn't find the killer and increased the security inside White Tiger Mansion. A few spirit masters with Spirit King Realm dispatched in every corner, patrolling with deep suspicion.

And all those searching lasted for a few days and only led up to nothing. "The killer is among us." The White Guard's captain said to everyone inside the White Tiger Mansion.

...

In the forest, Huo Yuhao grilled some fish and watched his status panel with a weird look.

[Name: Huo Yuhao]

[Race: Human]

[Age: 5(Almost 6)]

[Cultivation Realm: None]

[Martial Soul: Unawakened]

[Skills: Craftsmanship, Cooking, Alchemist]

[Techniques: Haki(+), Penetrating Fist, Extreme Lightning Mirage, Four Season Saber Technique, Dagger Mastery]

[Upgrading Tickets: Iron(32), Bronze(7), Silver(3), and Gold(1)]

Huo Yuhao has been living in this world for almost two weeks and trains himself diligently, gathering Upgrading Tickets. He even has reached B+ on Kenbunshoku and Busoshoku Haki without using the Upgrading Tickets. Still, his spirit energy seemed weaker than the rest of his arsenal.

First, Spirit Energy is native to Douluo Dalu's universe. It's the most basic "type of energy." anyone could cultivate to get stronger because almost everyone has had it since birth.

However, not everyone can train it because they need to have a cultivable martial soul, and Spirit Power awakened at six when their Spirit Awakening ceremony. And there are some exceptions to the rule, like Bloodline Power and Spiritual Energy.

Huo Yuhao obviously has more powerful Spiritual Energy than most people, but his Spirit Energy balanced that for being awfully weaker.

He was annoyed by this fact and commented, "It has something to do with my spirit eyes' mutation, after all. Unlike other Duke White Tiger's sons, Huo Yuhao's martial soul leaned more to his mother's side."

"Solution." Huo Yuhao muttered while thinking deeply about something. That race part in the status panel caught his attention, but gambling with unknown results isn't his style.

"I don't have much time. I've met the requirements for Purple-Flamed Divine Dragon Legacy, but I might fall into deep slumber like mom. Upgrading my race will enhance my overall arsenal because it covers many things."

He breathed in and said, "Evo, use my Gold Upgrading Ticket on my race."

[Excessive pain, spiritual shock, and physical alteration might occur. Do you still want to upgrade your race, Host?]

"Well, the new notification works perfectly. And yes, upgrade my race." Huo Yuhao nodded naturally, preparing himself for the impact.

[Using one Gold Upgrading Ticket on the Host's race]

[Upgrading...]

[...]

"Uugh." Huo Yuhao's eyes widened because every part of his young body screamed in agony. He stumbled to the ground and coughed a mouthful of blood, feeling his bone grinding against his muscle.

...

...

An hour and a half later.

[Congratulation, Host]

[All your base attributes and talents have indirectly increased by fifty times]

[You have become the first High Human in this universe]

Huo Yuhao breathed heavily for a moment and muttered, "That was horrible."

"Hmm??"

He felt incredibly light and noticed his tiny hand had become slightly "larger." than before. He rushed to the small pond near him and watched the reflection with a shocked look.

[High Human is an advanced version of the human race, having more potential and talents. High Humans have a very adaptable physique to the environment, giving them an advantage in every situation]

Near the small pond, a seven years old child stood with a cute yet handsome face. His short blue hair swayed gently under the sunlight, giving off a fresh atmosphere to his whole appearance.

Even though he wore shabby clothes, they couldn't hide his otherworldly look. Any adult woman can't resist his charm and would try to pat him.

"This..." Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched. He wanted to throw a fit because his cute look didn't match his overall persona, but he couldn't do anything about it. At least he can use it later to trick some older woman.

He washed his body in the small pond and noticed something growing "down." there. He chuckled in amusement and felt his Haki reach a higher stage too. His Kenbunshoku Haki hasn't attained the future sight, but he could predict movement to get an inferior version.

As for his Bososhoku Haki, Huo Yuhao noticed his hand quickly was coated with a more dense spiritual energy than before and had a deeper black color. He remembered that hardening and imbuement should be invisible to people, but any high-leveled cultivator must have the ability to see Haki.

Also, Huo Yuhao could feel Spirit Energy circulating and refining itself inside his body. The High Human "Adaptable." physique is no joke because it is like a sponge that absorbs water(Spirit Energy) like no tomorrow.

"Damn. What should I do next with this body? I can't waste my time with simple training anymore. Still, I think basic training is essential for my current stage, and extremely developing muscles at a young age is not good for my future."

[Your growth won't be affected by training, Host]

[High Human's adaptable body erased any weakness in your previous body]

"Is that so?" A grin appeared on Huo Yuhao's face because White Room's training regiment was still planted deep in his memory. According to his previous mother's statement, he could reach the Perfect Human performance with it.

"Human body holds so many secrets, training it brought the raw potential to the table. Pushing the limit is humanity's dream from the beginning."

[Kenbunshoku Haki(A)]

[Busoshoku Haki(A)]

Huo Yuhao brushed his short blue hair and asked, "Evo, can you tell me about my mom's current condition?"

[She's halfway through the trial, Host] Evo answered with a dull tone.

"Nice... I hope my mom finishes the legacy trial when my Spirit Awakening Ceremony is over." He smiled slightly. "I'll devise a plan so that we can get out of this damn place without any problem."

[Ding! A new daily Quest has given]

[Name: Advance Training]

[Objectives: Do 1000 sit-ups, 1000 pushups, 1000 squats, and followed by 62 miles or a 100km run]

[Reward: 5x Bronze Upgrading Tickets and 1x Random Apprentice Class Book]

[Do you want to accept the Quest?]

[Yes/No]

"Challenge accepted! Let me test this new physique." He pressed the Yes button and walked out of the pond. He began to push his limit and trained until evening, unaware fox-like eyes observing him from the cottage.

"Hao'er, you've become more handsome and adorable~." A small whisper echoed in the cottage.

...

A week passed quickly, and Huo Yuhao finished the Advance Training Quest eight times. He discovered the reward was not set in stone like the hunting quest and abused it for that eight days without stopping. With a single Senzu Bean, he could last a very long time and won't lose any energy.

Of course, he tried his best to eat nutritious food and almost eradicated half of the animal population in the forest. Well, he gives them his best thanks for increasing his strength to them.

Huo Yuhao currently holds a saber made of the "hardest." wood in this forest and rushes forward while slashing the air. A faint spark ignited the air and left a scorching mark along the way.

The Burning to Desolation, a rapid speed saber slashes that could ignite the air and leave burning desolation in the shape of a scorching mark on the opponent's body. It could burn one's body to ashes in the perfect stage.

"All stages were easy to master, but something is lacking." He commented while looking at the wooden saber in his hand.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but frown and picked a towel from his inventory to wipe his sweat, walking back to the cottage. As he walked into the bedroom, a bright white light entered his vision.

"Mom?" He looked at the bed, finding Huo Yun'er lying there with a calm expression. She has become more beautiful in the past weeks, and her blonde hair turned slightly luscious white with a pinkish shade. Some of her assets have also become bigger.

World-class female models in Huo Yuhao's past life look like a joke compared to Huo Yun'er.

Still, the shocking part about Huo Yun'er so far is her massive spiritual energy, rivaling Huo Yuhao's in sheer quantity and quality. He didn't know what kind of trial she went through, but it was fruitful.

Huo Yuhao made a warm soup with rare herbs in the forest to support and enhance his mother's bodily's function. After all, Even with a Senzu bean, resting in bed for more than two weeks is quite harmful to one's body.

"Mom, I made warm soup for you." He sat on the bed and supported her back with his hand. "Eat it slowly, okay?"

Huo Yuhao smiled gently and told her about his daily training, being a routine every time he fed her. And carefully explained how they should run away from this place.

"I love you, mom." He placed Huo Yun'er on the bed again and kissed her forehead.

...

...

Yae's legacy realm.

"Do you still love White Tiger Duke after seeing your son's commitment to you? He does everything to take care of you. And even become strong so you guys could run away from this place." Yae commented while staring at her inheritor.

"On the contrary, besides some empty words, that guy hasn't done much for you."

Huo Yun'er watched the clear lake with a smile on her face because Hao'er was indeed an ideal son. His lovely smile and gentle care so far make her heart flutter more than ever.

(An: You know where this was going. Hehe, boys!)

"This felt wrong..." Huo Yun'er heavily breathed while blushing hard. "He's my son, you know~!"

"I know!" Yae yelled with an excited expression. "That makes it even better."

"Also, human morals don't work on you two anymore because you inherited my position as a deity, and your son will be too soon."

"Remember well, my student. Immorality is hot!"

"Mm, Immorality is HOT!." Huo Yun'er nodded her head frantically in agreement.
