Ice Snow Empress

"Let's name it!" ×3

As soon as Huo Yuhao brought up the question, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and even Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately perked up.

"I-I-I-I... I have an idea! Let's call her Tianmeng Ice Bing Girl!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was the first to suggest a name.

As soon as he heard it, Huo Yuhao started complaining inwardly. Tianmeng Ice Bing Girl? Why not call her Shattered Ice Cream?

Besides, the name was just a patchwork of "Tianmeng" from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's name and the way she called Ice Empress!

You really were a hopeless suck-up when it came to naming things, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!

A murderous glint flashed through Ice Empress's eyes. She lashed out with her tail again, sending Tianmeng flying. The world was quiet once more!

"Xue'er, what do you think we should name her?"

Ice Empress looked a little bashful. Naming this Martial Soul was almost like naming a child she and Xue'er had...

Snow Empress thought it over seriously. This Martial Soul had been created through her and Bing'er's shared efforts. They couldn't be careless!

"I don't think the name should be too complicated. Something simple and easy to understand would be best."

"How about this? We combine Bing'er's name with mine to get 'Ice Snow' as the prefix."

"She's the result of Bing'er's and my efforts. We both have the title 'Empress,' so she can be the Empress's daughter."

"Ice Snow Empress. Yuhao, Bing'er, what do you think?"

"Ice Snow... Empress! I think it's great. I'm fully behind Xue'er's decision." Ice Empress agreed with Snow Empress with all her heart.

Then the two turned their expectant gazes toward Huo Yuhao.

Feeling their eager eyes on him, Huo Yuhao wondered, Is this what a democratic vote is supposed to look like?

"Ice Empress, Snow Empress, if neither of you have any other suggestions, I'll go with this name!"

"I have no objections!"

"If Xue'er has none, then neither do I!"

"Then..."

"Yuhao, hold on! I haven't had my say yet!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hurried toward the three of them.

Anger rose on Ice Empress's face. He hadn't come back sooner or later—he had to show up now. Ice Empress would never let this fat worm ruin Xue'er's excitement.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had only just walked over and hadn't even opened his mouth yet.

A familiar Ice Storm swept him away in an instant. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's aggrieved voice rang out.

"Bingbing~, you've got it all wrong! I just wanted to say that I agree too..." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm turned into a streak of white light and disappeared.

Snow Empress gently took Ice Empress's hand. "All right, Bing'er. Tianmeng is still our companion, after all."

"We'll have plenty of time to get used to one another. Give him a little more patience, okay?"

Ice Empress couldn't refuse Xue'er's request, so she nodded reluctantly.

A few dozen seconds later, Tianmeng returned.

With the other three as witnesses, Huo Yuhao settled on the name of his Second Martial Soul.

Ice Snow Empress!

With the name decided, Huo Yuhao continued explaining the Ice Snow Empress Martial Soul's abilities.

"It's considered a physical entity, but the Ice Snow Empress can also fuse with me and fight alongside me!"

Huo Yuhao spread his arms wide. The Ice Snow Empress Martial Soul, responding to his will, rushed into his embrace.

His entire body changed. The first change was his blue hair, which turned into long, snow-white hair, strikingly beautiful and delicate.

His mismatched eyes became a uniform bright yellow.

A loose, snow-white robe appeared over his body.

His figure grew taller and leaner, his features became more refined and delicate, and an aloof, cool aura radiated from him.

Huo Yuhao had already been exceptionally handsome, but after his Martial Soul Possession, he took on an air of proud detachment.

Although his features leaned toward the feminine, it wasn't hard to tell at a glance that Huo Yuhao was a boy.

"Yuhao, this... is amazing!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's little eyes shone like stars in the sky.

There was no other reason—Huo Yuhao looked incredible now!

Before, Huo Yuhao had been a little bean sprout of a boy, not yet grown into his limbs and around 1.45 meters tall.

Now Huo Yuhao had shot up to around 1.9 meters. Paired with his unmatched, aloof bearing, he looked every inch a refined gentleman.

Tianmeng gazed at him, eyes shining. He could see a hint of his beloved Bingbing in him.

The Ice Snow Empresses kept glancing at him. As expected of a Martial Soul that had inherited all their best qualities.

Huo Yuhao continued his explanation. "The Ice Snow Empress Martial Soul inherited all of your attributes, and then refined them further."

"Her affinity for ice and snow, and her ability to control them, surpass yours, Snow Empress and Ice Empress."

Huo Yuhao waved his hand, and a blizzard swept through the entire cave. He waved again, and the snowstorm vanished.

He tapped his foot, and the cave was quickly sealed in ice. With a snap of his fingers, the ice melted away.

For the rest of the time, Huo Yuhao continued demonstrating the Ice Snow Empress's unparalleled affinity for and control over the elements of ice and snow.

Snow Empress and Ice Empress watched as Huo Yuhao made snowmen and ice sculptures just like the ones they could make.

The Ice Snow Empress surpassed them in control, and her affinity for ice and snow was greater than theirs, too.

Was this the Martial Soul born from all their bloodlines and power? It truly was extraordinary.

"To reach this level, the Ice Snow Empress Martial Soul's control over and affinity for the power of ice and snow must have reached the absolute limit possible in this world," Snow Empress said.

"She inherited and evolved our powers, so her Ultimate Attribute is Extreme Ice and Snow!"

"I'm right, aren't I, Yuhao?" Ice Empress asked, her voice brimming with excitement.

Huo Yuhao's smile grew even wider. "That's not all. She also comes with an innate domain!"

"She even has a domain? Yuhao, tell your big sister about it! What does it do?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's breathing grew heavy.

Huo Yuhao said, "This domain is called the Ice Snow Polar Domain!"

"It's an auxiliary domain that boosts my abilities. Within it, the cost of all my Soul Skills is reduced by 50%, and their power is increased by 50%."

"It can also suppress enemies within the domain, reducing the power of their Soul Skills by anywhere from 10% to 30%."

Snow Empress thought about it briefly. "That's very powerful. This domain is perfect for drawn-out battles."

"Against an opponent who's slightly stronger than you, this domain will be extremely useful."

"With this domain, you'll be able to bring at least some of the power of the extremely strong Soul Skills we granted you to bear!"

Ice Empress said, "By the way, Yuhao, didn't we grant you quite a few Soul Skills this time? I can sense that I granted you six."

"Snow Empress, you did the same, right?"

"Mm!" Snow Empress replied.

Tianmeng folded his arms. "A Million-Year Soul Ring can grant four Soul Skills. Add those to the Soul Bone Skill and the skills from the first two Soul Rings."

"Along with the domain that comes with the Ice Snow Empress, that makes thirteen Soul Skills in total. We've really made out like bandits this time, Yuhao!"

Huo Yuhao slapped his forehead. A question had just occurred to him. "By the way, Sister Tianmeng, how long did our fusion take?"

"A long time, about two months," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm replied.

Huo Yuhao withdrew his Martial Soul. "Then we'd better hurry back!"
