Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Repeated Shocks, Beibei's Speculation

"I refuse." Xue Nianbing shook his head and said calmly, "I'll treat Bing'er well, but it's not your place to demand this of me."

His words were not particularly pleasant, but Xue Nianbing did not care.

That was simply his personality.

"...I understand."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm replied.

He no longer hesitated and prepared to turn himself into Xue Nianbing's Wisdom Soul Ring.

"Attach yourself to my second Martial Soul," Xue Nianbing instructed.

"Second Martial Soul!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was startled. Then he discovered the Extreme Ice within Xue Nianbing's body and cried out in shock, "Extreme Ice! Not only do you have Twin Martial Souls, you also possess Twin Ultimate Ice!"

"And they can resonate? It's actually a Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"

After his shock came overwhelming excitement.

He was the only Million Year Soul Beast in ten thousand years. After becoming a Wisdom Soul Ring, he could even provide a Soul Master with an additional Martial Soul slot.

If there were another Extreme Martial Soul...

Wouldn't Xue Nianbing then possess three Extreme Martial Souls?

At that thought, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm suddenly felt that choosing Xue Nianbing had been an exceptionally wise decision.

"Brother—oh, no, Young Master."

"I can provide you with a Martial Soul slot. If you can make the Ice Empress your third Martial Soul, then you'll have three—"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said excitedly.

But before he could finish, Xue Nianbing coldly interrupted him. "Bing'er is my woman, not my Martial Soul."

Though his voice was quiet, it allowed no doubt.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm knew he had misspoken and promptly shut his mouth, focusing on the fusion.

At Xue Nianbing's request, he attached his Wisdom Soul Ring to the Proud Snow Cold Bow Martial Soul.

"Huh? Such a powerful body—and the fusion is this easy?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was inwardly shocked.

Only now did he realize just how powerful Xue Nianbing's physical body was.

Moreover, the Mental Impact generated by his fusion had no effect on Xue Nianbing whatsoever. Xue Nianbing did not even become dazed for an instant.

"Immune to spiritual power?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was shocked yet again.

Xue Nianbing was even more mysterious than he had imagined.

"Buzz..."

The fusion continued.

However, because Xue Nianbing's qualities in every aspect were exceptionally strong, the fusion did not last long before ending.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's enormous, plump body gradually transformed into streams of white radiance that merged into Xue Nianbing's body.

Although Xue Nianbing's body was powerful, the energy of a Million Year Soul Beast was not so easily absorbed.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was just about to place seals on his energy when that energy suddenly seemed to be drawn toward something.

"Huh? What is this?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm froze within the Sea of Consciousness.

As he watched the energy of his Million Year Soul Ring flow into the Ice Blue Light Cluster, he was utterly dumbfounded.

Just how many secrets does he have? Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt that Xue Nianbing was rarer than even a Million Year Soul Beast like himself.

"Buzz."

Suddenly, the ice-blue radiance released mist once more, enveloping the bewildered Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Huh, this feels so good." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm only felt that his soul body was extraordinarily comfortable, and it was slowly growing stronger, as though it were about to solidify.

"A Soul Spirit?"

At that moment, Xue Nianbing also entered his Sea of Consciousness and looked at the scene in surprise.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's current state somewhat resembled a Soul Spirit that was about to take form, yet it was also somewhat different from the Soul Spirits in the original work.

He could also sense his connection with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Just as with Electrolux, everything was under his control.

"Just stay here peacefully. Whether you want to sleep or do something else, it's up to you."

"One reminder: don't provoke that Ice Blue Light Cluster, or that senior recuperating over there. Otherwise, don't blame me if you die."

Xue Nianbing's voice sounded beside Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Okay, Brother—oh, no, Young Master." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm obediently nodded his head.

As a dignified Million Year Soul Beast, he had actually become the weakest existence in this Sea of Consciousness. What a miserable life.

Xue Nianbing gave a slight nod, then left the Sea of Consciousness.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm looked at the Ice Blue Light Cluster, then at the Gray Remnant Soul resting nearby.

"Sigh, time to sleep."

Since things had come to this, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm still decided to do what he was best at.

In the clearing, Xue Nianbing carefully sensed his Soul Power Level.

As expected, he had already reached Level 40.

Since he had not yet gained an additional Soul Ring, there was no way to predict how many more levels he could rise.

It probably would not be much. After all, most of the Million Year Soul Ring's energy had been devoured by the Ice Blue Light Cluster, leaving behind only energy comparable to a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

However, the Soul Ring still appeared platinum-white.

All in all, aside from the Million Year Soul Ring's energy, Xue Nianbing had obtained the Soul Ring, Soul Skills, and Martial Soul slot.

Xue Nianbing was just about to inspect the four great Soul Skills that the first Million Year Soul Ring had granted the Proud Snow Cold Bow.

When two figures suddenly appeared in his Golden Eyes.

"Hm?"

"Mental Perception?"

Xue Nianbing was somewhat surprised.

Although he had not obtained the Million Year Soul Ring's energy from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, he had received a considerable amount of spiritual power.

As a result, he was extraordinarily sensitive to movements within several kilometers around him, and his perception was incredibly clear.

Tang Ya and Beibei were still two li away, yet they had already entered the range of his Mental Perception.

"An unexpected gain."

Xue Nianbing was somewhat surprised. Then he composed himself and looked toward Huo Yuhao, who was still unconscious.

After a moment of silence.

Xue Nianbing took out healing medicine from his Ice Snow Ring and dripped it onto Huo Yuhao's wounds.

The next second, those wounds healed instantly.

After doing this, Xue Nianbing slipped into the forest and vanished.

In reality, he had hidden in a tree to observe in secret.

"Mmm..."

Huo Yuhao happened to wake at that moment and looked blankly at his surroundings.

At last, with the aid of his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, Huo Yuhao recalled what had just happened.

After hearing someone say "Big-Brained Silkworm," he had passed out.

That talking Big-Brained Silkworm must be terrifying. Just its aura alone knocked me unconscious. Huo Yuhao thought to himself.

He instinctively checked his body, only to discover that not only was he uninjured, but even the wounds left behind from his fierce battle with the Wind Baboon had healed.

How miraculous!

"Little Yuhao!"

"Yuhao!"

At that moment, two familiar voices rang out.

Huo Yuhao looked toward the voices and saw Beibei and Tang Ya, whom he had met once before.

When Beibei and Tang Ya arrived and saw the miserable scene, surprise immediately appeared on their faces.

Huo Yuhao had killed a Ten Year Wind Baboon by himself?

Although a Ten Year Wind Baboon was not powerful, to Huo Yuhao, who had not yet acquired his first Soul Ring and was physically frail, it was undoubtedly like an ordinary person facing a ferocious tiger.

Most unbelievable of all, Huo Yuhao had actually killed the Wind Baboon with nothing but a dagger.

"Little Yuhao, are you all right? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Tang Ya asked with considerable concern.

Seeing how worried Tang Ya looked, Huo Yuhao's heart warmed slightly. He shook his head and said, "Sister Xiao Ya, I'm fine."

Beibei looked at the carnage on the ground and recalled their conversation when he had first met Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao came from a poor family, perhaps he was even alone, so no one could help him hunt Soul Beasts and obtain Soul Rings.

But that was merely speculation.
