"Has he come out?"
The moment Huo Yuhao stepped out of the Duke's Mansion, a wisp of spiritual power that even a Titled Douluo could not detect attached itself to him, tracking his location.
After consuming the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Lin Feng had searched the Star Dou Great Forest for a long time, yet he had never found any trace of Tian Meng. Only then did Lin Feng remember that while spiritual-type soul masters were rare, it was impossible that Huo Yuhao was the only one to enter the Star Dou Great Forest. The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was most likely an opportunity that only Huo Yuhao could encounter.
Left with no other choice, Lin Feng chose to wait near the Duke's Mansion for Huo Yuhao. Finally, after waiting for nearly two and a half months, Huo Yuhao left the mansion filled with hatred.
Lin Feng silently tailed him the entire way, following him all the way to the Star Dou Great Forest. Once there, Lin Feng chose a spot close to Huo Yuhao and released as much of his spiritual power as possible to attract the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, all while keeping an eye on Huo Yuhao's condition to prevent any accidents.
In theory, Lin Feng's appeal far surpassed Huo Yuhao's, but Huo Yuhao was the child of destiny. Thus, Lin Feng had to make adequate preparations just in case.
However, reality proved that Lin Feng had overthought things a little. When Lin Feng and Huo Yuhao both entered the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's range of perception, it appeared before Lin Feng without the slightest hesitation.
"Finally, I've encountered a human with a spiritual attribute! What a pity I can't cry, or I'd definitely be bawling my eyes out!"
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice entered Lin Feng's mind, while Lin Feng warily watched his surroundings as though he knew nothing.
At that moment, the ground beneath Lin Feng suddenly began trembling without warning. Cracks appeared in the earth two meters ahead of him, gradually widening into fissures. A faint golden-white light shimmered from within them. Clearly, this was the beginning of everything that would allow Huo Yuhao to cheat his way through life: the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! This physical constitution, this spiritual power—what an incredible genius! I'm coming!"
The moment the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sensed Lin Feng's physical constitution and formidable spiritual power, its eyes lit up. Then, without another thought, it slammed directly into Lin Feng's head and entered his body.
"Huh? Strange. Why can't I see your memories?" After merging into Lin Feng's body, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was surprised that, as a Million-Year Soul Beast, it could not examine its host's memories.
"You barged into my Sea of Consciousness and still want to look through my memories. Just what are you?" Within Lin Feng's Sea of Consciousness, Lin Feng's spiritual form appeared before the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in his own likeness, staring directly at its enormous body.
"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the incarnation of heroism and chivalry, the Soul Beast King among Kings who possesses both wisdom and beauty, an unparalleled powerhouse who has cultivated for a million years and set the longevity record of Douluo Continent—the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Mm, you may call me Brother Sky Dream!"
Lin Feng nodded. "All right, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. No problem, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm."
"It's Brother Sky Dream!"
Lin Feng still nodded expressionlessly. "Got it, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: "..."
"Speaking of which, what did you mean by a Million-Year Soul Beast just now, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm?"
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's tiny eyes twitched, but it did not dwell too much on whether Lin Feng called it Sky Dream Ice Silkworm or Brother Sky Dream. Instead, it explained what it intended to do. "Like this: I want to become your soul ring, a Million-Year Soul Ring unprecedented in the history of Douluo Continent."
Lin Feng fell silent for a while, seemingly pondering something. A moment later, his spiritual form slowly spoke. "There's no such thing as a free lunch. So, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, what is the price of your Million-Year Soul Ring?"
"It's a long story. Let me first tell you my story." The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm silently told Lin Feng how it had cultivated from a mere silkworm larva to the million-year level simply by eating, how the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest had captured and imprisoned it as food during that time, and about its god-making plan that could grant Lin Feng a second martial soul.
Lin Feng silently listened to all the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's tearful complaints, ultimately summing them up in two points. "So, what you want is to become a god and gain immortality, as well as revenge against the soul beasts that imprisoned you for ten thousand years?"
"That's right! Those damned bastards! Once you grow strong, you must help me take revenge! Didn't they evolve by absorbing my Soul Power? In the future, turn them all into soul rings and soul bones!"
Tian Meng spoke bitterly. Ten thousand years of imprisonment and constant fear for his life had made him want to skin those high-ranking soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest alive and eat their flesh raw. At this moment, his hatred for those soul beasts even surpassed his desire to become a god. Thus, when Lin Feng mentioned Tian Meng's demands, the first thing Tian Meng prioritized was the hatred born from ten thousand years of captivity.
"Fine. If you can truly give me a second martial soul, none of that will be a problem. Tell me, which soul beasts imprisoned you and fed on you? I'll make a note of them, then we can find them all together and slaughter them one by one for soul rings and soul bones."
"First! The most, most, most, most, most, most, most damned one is the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian!"
"What Beast God? To hell with the Beast God! Isn't Brother Sky Dream also a soul beast? Yet he presided over dividing me up! They sliced my flesh apart while I was alive and handed it out. Not only did he eat the most, he even took some away with him! It hurt so much!"
"If there's a chance in the future, capture that bastard alive for me if possible. I'll pull out his tendons and skin him! Then I'll turn him into a Soul Tool and ride him around everywhere!"
Lin Feng: "..." Why could Di Tian not escape the fate of becoming a Soul Tool anywhere?
"Sure. Once I'm strong enough, I'll capture Di Tian alive and hand him over to you so you can play with him slowly."
"Then there's Xiong Jun! Damn it! In the future, kill every Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear you see for me. That bastard is evil to the third degree! Once he falls into my hands, I'll definitely let him enjoy the same treatment as Di Tian!"
Lin Feng nodded, having no objections to that.
"After that comes the Myriad Monster King! That bastard..."
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm continued talking about what it wanted to do to the Myriad Monster King, but Lin Feng was already considering whether he should replace Xiao Wu's soul bone in the future.
By the time Tian Meng went on to name the other ferocious beasts, Lin Feng felt as though even his soul ring slots might not be enough.
By the end, the terrifying number of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts that had exploited Tian Meng even had Lin Feng considering whether to reward Meng Shu with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Considering Tian Meng had only cultivated for a million years in total, all he could say was that Third Young Master had always been filling in numbers with his feet.
