Huo Yuan

Shenwu Academy's Elder

 Shenwu Academy

## Appearance

The elder was slightly stout, with a large face full of wrinkles. He had a head full of white hair and a wispy white beard on his chin.

## Background

Grand Master Huoyuan was the highest authority in craftsmanship within Guzhou Star. Even within the entire Ancientspirit Galaxy, he was one of its top craftsmen.

Within the Ancientspirit Galaxy, so many craftsmen had wanted to practice under Grand Master Huoyuan and to master his art. However, Grand Master Huoyuan did not accept disciples. He would merely give pointers to more gifted students within the Shenwu Academy. Yet, even so, many young craftsmen would join the Academy to be so guided. However, fewer than one in a thousand could receive guidance from Grand Master Huoyuan. He very rarely gave instructions. It would be safe to say that Grand Master Huoyuan would find himself mobbed by countless willing craftsmen had he said the word.

He used to be a disciple of the Shenwu Academy and he eventually became an instructor and then a Grandmaster, not leaving the academy at all.

## Plotline

When Su Mo arrived at Shenwu Academy, he first went to see Grand Master Huoyuan as Steward Chai recommanded him to former master. Huo Yuan had always searched for a disciple to inherit his craftsmanship legacy and was satisfied with Su Mo's talent but when he was rejected when he told Su Mo that he should stay in Huo Peak and learn craftsmanship from him. Su Mo wasn't interested in learning craftsmanship and wished to focus on the martial path and thus refused to be his disciple.

Even though Su Mo refused to learn craftsmanship from him, he was still willing to him some help when he had problems. Such as when he needed to move to Huo Peak with Nie Qian and Han Ying after Taishi Xuan's threats or to protect him from Wu Lun when he came to kill him in Shenwu Academy.

He had lived for so long and had never heard of such nature defying talents. With such a talent, he would definitely not sit by and watch Su Mo be killed by the Sorcerer Tribe. As for taking him as a disciple, he could not consider it anymore. Perhaps letting Su Mo grow independently would be the best.Ever since the news of the True Sage Board spread, the higher ups in the academy were all surprised. They were all carefully watching Su Mo and were trying to take him in as their disciple. However, since Su Mo lived at his Huo Yuan Peak, the rest of the people naturally did not dare to take him away. In the past two days, 2 Martial Sages had even come personally to the palace to ask about Su Mo, clearly with the intention of taking him as a disciple.

Regarding this, Grandmaster Huo Yuan was very clear. He would personally supervise Su Mo’s cultivation growth and hence, he had rejected the 2 Martial Sages. He did not want Su Mo to be their disciples. Su Mo was a sinful person and his future was tumultuous. He must not become any other person’s disciple. Otherwise, he would destroy the balance in the academy.

After the battle at Archosaur Star and the emergence and burning conquest of the Firmament Palace, Su Mo went to invite Estate Master Du, Huo Yan and the whole Shenwu Academy to join Firmament Palace. All of them agreed.
