DD2—Chapter 32: The Second Martial Soul! (2-in-1)
For Bingdi, this was undoubtedly an unbelievable thing. Although she knew that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's combat power was extremely poor compared to her own, his cultivation was real.
If we have to talk about cultivation, even the Snow Empress, the leader of the three arctic kings of the Extreme North, cannot compare with the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. Of course, the reason why Tianmeng's combat power is poor is mainly that he suffers from a racial disadvantage; after all, the combat power of the Ice Silkworm clan has always been lacking.
"I know you find this hard to believe, but for me, if I don't give up my body, my life will come to an end. So, I found a human being and became his wisdom soul ring. As long as I cultivate this human into a god, I can live forever with him!" Tianmeng said.
Tianmeng then began to explain to Bingdi what a wisdom soul ring was, as well as the so-called plan to cultivate gods, emphasizing his praises for Huo Yuhao.
"So, what about the human named Huo Yuhao you mentioned? Let him come out to see me!" Bingdi demanded.
"Yuhao, come out quickly! Bingbing wants to see you!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm called.
So, Huo Yuhao immediately walked out of the ice cave. He looked at the Ice Empress trapped by the remains and found that she was a large emerald-green scorpion.
However, according to his impression, it seemed that ferocious beast-level soul beasts could transform into human form at any time without giving up their soul beast cultivation.
The most typical example is the Ice Bear King. Although it is not one of the ten most ferocious beasts, it has survived a hundred thousand years of heavenly tribulation and can be considered a small ferocious beast. He still remembers that the Ice Bear King can directly transform into a fat man in the original story.
"Is this human? What is the current relationship between him and you?" Bingdi was a little confused.
Tianmeng pondered for a moment and said, "Um, Yuhao is my host. In a sense, he is also my master. Our interests are highly intertwined."
Then, the spirit body of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm turned around, looked at Huo Yuhao, and said, "Yuhao, this is the Ice Empress, one of the three great kings of the Extreme North. Her cultivation has reached 399,999 years, and she is about to become a powerful soul beast with a cultivation of 400,000 years!
Your second martial soul has the ice attribute but lacks a form. As long as Bingbing is willing to cooperate with us, your second martial soul will take shape! By then, you will be the true owner of twin martial souls!"
Bingdi looked at Huo Yuhao and said calmly, "I can feel that although you are only a soul master, the strength of your mental power is beyond my imagination. You should have good talent. Tianmeng and I will join forces and have the confidence to make you an Ultimate Douluo.
As for making you a god, to be honest, it is still very difficult! There haven't been any new gods in the Douluo Continent for ten thousand years. Instead of this, I might as well find a stronger human. At least this way, I'll have a better chance!"
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao stepped forward and said, "Ice Empress, I know that in your eyes, I am very weak now.
However, because of my strong talent in soul engineering, I am hailed as a rare genius in the Sun-Moon Empire.
Therefore, the high-level soul masters of the empire attach great importance to me and are willing to devote resources to me. Even if you find another human, it will be difficult to find one with the same conditions as mine."
"Bingbing, Yuhao is correct. I can testify for him. Those humans value him very much. Don't you want to live forever with me? Bingbing, are you so heartless? I have always loved you!" Tianmeng, on the other hand, fully demonstrated the spirit of a dog licker, expressing his love directly.
"Tianmeng, you piece of trash, shut up! Don't call me that!" Bingdi shouted. Then she looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Huo Yuhao, even if what you said is true, so what? Soul engineers are a group of extremely weak beings and cannot be compared with soul masters of the same level.
Even if you are a promising soul engineer, so what? In the past four thousand years, I have killed several ninth-level soul engineers who came to the Extreme North!"
After hearing this, Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "Ice Empress, the development speed of soul guidance technology is far beyond your imagination. Three thousand years is a short time for soul beasts like you, but it is a long time for humans. Your understanding is outdated!
Today's Sun Moon Empire has already developed more powerful soul guidance devices, such as the ninth-level fixed-type soul guidance shells. The power of the explosion of a ninth-level fixed-type soul guidance shell is equivalent to the full-strength attack of a Limit Douluo!"
The Ice Empress was stunned, a little surprised. A full-strength attack from a Limit Douluo? In terms of cultivation, the Ice Empress is no match for the human Extreme Douluo. Of course, combat power and cultivation are not 100% linked, so that is another matter.
However, even so, a Limit Douluo is still an opponent worthy of the Ice Empress. You know, Limit Douluo all possess dual soul cores, while she only has one soul core. It's not that the Ice Empress doesn't want to condense dual soul cores, but for a soul beast, it is too difficult to achieve.
"Huo Yuhao, is this true?" Bingdi was a little surprised and doubtful.
"Of course it's true." Huo Yuhao nodded, thinking that this was a setting written by a great author; how could it be false?
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, on the side, said, "Bingbing, I have also attended some classes with Yuhao during this period and learned some knowledge related to soul guidance devices. I can tell you with certainty that this is true!
Human development is beyond our imagination. I even feel that the future world will be dominated by humans!"
Bingdi fell into silence. She felt that the world was undergoing tremendous changes. However, she, who had always lived in the Extreme North, knew nothing about the changes in the outside world. After all, there were few outsiders in the Extreme North, so she did not have many channels to obtain information from beyond.
"Bingbing, I have experience in becoming a wisdom soul ring. So, join my god-making plan. If you choose someone else, you will not succeed. If we create gods together, it can greatly increase Yuhao's chances of becoming a god!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said.
The Ice Empress glanced at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, her mind wavering. She said, "At worst, I can survive the 400,000-year heavenly tribulation. As long as I survive it, I will be a soul beast with 400,000 years of cultivation."
"And then what?" Huo Yuhao, on the side, looked at the Ice Empress and said word by word: "And wait for the next heavenly tribulation every hundred thousand years? According to what I learned in class, it seems that soul beasts will experience a heavenly tribulation every hundred thousand years.
Human soul guidance technology is developing so rapidly. Even if you survive the heavenly tribulation, how long can you live in peace in the Extreme North? Soul guidance devices will become more and more powerful in the future. I can assert that by then, even you will not be able to compete with those powerful soul-guidance devices!
Bingdi, will you choose to die at the hands of humans in the future, or choose to fight with me for a chance to become a god?"
After hearing these words, Bingdi looked at Huo Yuhao with more appreciation. She said, "Huo Yuhao, you are very good. You have a very decisive character.
I am willing to fight with you and Tianmeng for the chance to become a god. After all, my origin has been damaged, and I probably won't be able to survive the next heavenly calamity."
In fact, under the persuasion of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Bingdi had already considered the idea of creating a god together with Tianmeng. However, because Huo Yuhao's mental power was quite powerful, she suspected that he might just be a lucky human who relied solely on Tianmeng.
So, she devised a way to test Huo Yuhao's character.
After all, if Huo Yuhao's personality was similar to that of the Ice Bear King, she would not agree to create a god with Tianmeng!
That's good. A man who knows the times is a hero. Huo Yuhao looked at Bingdi, coughed lightly, and said, "Then let's get started, Brother Tianmeng, Bingdi."
"Okay." Tianmeng nodded and then began to arrange for Bingdi's spiritual essence to come out of her body.
A moment later, with the help of Tianmeng and Bingdi, Huo Yuhao prepared to absorb Bingdi's soul bone first and then add it to his martial soul. Of course, to reduce the pain when absorbing the soul bone, he took out the right leg bone of the secret soul to aid in the fusion.
After all, due to the fusion characteristics of this soul bone, it can be combined with the torso bone of the Ice Empress, so it will not take up extra space.
One day later.
Huo Yuhao looked at the sky, clenched his fists, and felt the tremendous power in his body.
Now, he not only fused with the torso bones of the Ice Empress but also made the Ice Jade Scorpion Empress his martial soul. Of course, under the guidance of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the strongest among the Ice Silkworm clan, he hunted an Ice Silkworm and obtained the imitation illusion soul skill.
This is undoubtedly a huge improvement for him.
He carefully felt his current soul power. "Now I am a level 28 grand soul master."
For Huo Yuhao, the Sun Moon Imperial Academy's teaching method was more scientific than Zhou Yi's from Shrek Academy, and since studying at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, he had occasionally gone out to pick up some rare treasures to consume. This contributed to his real soul power significantly increasing. Of course, because he did not obtain a new soul ring, his overall level remained unchanged.
Although he did not obtain the second soul ring at that time and could not improve his soul power level, the soul power had been accumulating in his body. After he obtained the second soul ring, the soul power naturally adjusted his level.
"It's time to return to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy! After I go back, the academy will pay more attention to me.
After all, twin martial souls are rare in themselves, and my second martial soul is of the ultimate ice attribute, which is even rarer. Adding to that my excellent talent as a soul engineer, I am a big advantage!
From today on, I am the number one genius of the Sun-Moon Empire! This is true whether it is in the cultivation of martial souls or in the field of soul engineering! Perhaps, after I go back this time, in the eyes of some people, I will have the appearance of a Limit Douluo and a Level 10 Soul Engineer!"
Huo Yuhao activated the flying soul guidance device and flew towards the Extreme North.
A few days later, he appeared outside the Extreme North.
This time, his luck was better. On his way out of the Extreme North, he did not encounter any powerful soul beasts like the Ice Bear King, which made him feel a little more at ease.
A few days later, Huo Yuhao appeared in a mountain range outside Mingdu. However, Huo Yuhao's expression was somewhat serious at this moment because, according to his spiritual detection, he found some corpse slaves nearby.
The so-called corpse slaves must have been created by evil soul masters. After all, the base camp of the Holy Spirit Cult is in the Sun Moon Empire. In the original novel, Huo Yuhao almost became the so-called Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult.
Of course, because the Holy Spirit Cult has not yet become a nationally recognized protectorate religion, it will not display its presence conspicuously in a place like Mingdu. At most, it will secretly capture some people for cultivation.
"In a sense, the Sun Moon Imperial Family is a cancer. They raised a member of the Holy Spirit Cult. In the original novel, Ye Xishui is the Supreme Priest of the Sun Moon Imperial Family. This means that the cooperation between the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Imperial Family did not start with Xu Tianran. How can they run the Sun Moon Empire well if they are with such a pest?"
Huo Yuhao's mind was filled with thoughts. Of course, he was not ready to fight the Holy Spirit Cult right now. After all, the Holy Spirit Cult was still very powerful. Take Ye Xishui, for example. She was a Limit Douluo with twin martial souls, and she was also a ninth-level soul engineer!
From this perspective, Ye Xishui is indeed a genius!
After all, although evil soul masters are more powerful than ordinary soul masters, it is still very difficult for them to become Titled Douluo, and it is much more difficult to become a Limit Douluo than for a normal soul master.
Under such circumstances, Ye Xishui not only became a Limit Douluo, but she also had time to study soul guidance devices and became a ninth-level soul engineer. She also manipulated Mu En and Long Xiaoyao around. It was outrageous!
"Grow up well first, and then find a way to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult! The Sun-Moon Empire will be my backyard in the future!"
Huo Yuhao was ready to avoid the corpse slaves. He didn't want to confront the Holy Spirit Cult right now. Who knew who the masters of those corpse slaves were?
Suddenly, a loud voice sounded in his mind.
"I didn't expect that the old man didn't perish, but a trace of consciousness remained."
In the spiritual sea, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in spiritual form looked at the gray figure in the sky, a little shocked. "It's you! You spoke! Who are you, and why are you competing with me for territory?"
Bingdi, who was standing beside him, had just awoken from a deep sleep. She was a little confused. "Tianmeng, who is he?"
"Bingbing, when I was turning myself into Yuhao's wisdom soul ring, I met this guy." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm began to narrate his past experiences.
After a moment, Bingdi's eyes changed, and she said, "So, this is an enemy trying to steal your territory?"
"My name is Electrolux!" Electrolux chuckled. "Big bug, little scorpion, your level is not bad. However, although this fragment of my spiritual consciousness is extremely weak, it is higher than yours in terms of level. If you choose to fight me, it will undoubtedly be a loss.
Moreover, I have no grudge against you, and I have no intention of becoming your enemy."
As Electrolux spoke, he exuded a majestic aura, allowing Tianmeng and Bingdi to feel his power.
Tianmeng looked at Electrolux in shock. "I can feel that your spiritual power level is much higher than mine. Although it cannot be compared with me in terms of quantity, it is completely superior to me in terms of quality! Electrolux, are you a god? Can you tell me what the divine world is like?"
Even the Ice Empress on the side looked at Electrolux in surprise. After all, in her opinion, although Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was a waste in fighting, in terms of spiritual power cultivation, there were simply few people in the world who could compare with him. After all, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had been cultivated for a million years!
Therefore, this being who calls himself Electrolux is most likely a god! Why did a fragment of a god's consciousness appear here?
"God? Strictly speaking, I am not a god of this world. As for what the realm of gods is like, I have never been to that kind of place, so I cannot answer your questions.
Although I can't remember some things clearly, I still remember that my name is the Holy God of Death, the Scourge of the Undead!" Electrolux said slowly.
Upon hearing these words, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's body suddenly trembled.
