Background Suppression System Restriction? Sky Dream Ice Silkworm Sacrifices Himself to Huo Yuhao! (Please Bookmark!)

"Forget it!

I don't have much time left. If I keep dawdling, those Ferocious Beasts deep in Star Dou will catch up!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shook his enormous head, tossing the fright from earlier to the back of his mind.

He once again fixed his gaze on Huo Yuhao's stunned face.

"Wahahaha!

Little guy, don't be afraid. I'm coming!"

"Although there was a little hiccup just now, I still love you the most!"

Before his voice had even faded, a dense white radiance suddenly burst from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

It illuminated everything within a hundred meters as brightly as day.

Huo Yuhao was still immersed in the shock of Dai Yu's outburst and had yet to recover.

Then he saw that enormous insect mouth rushing down toward him.

"Yuhao, don't move. This is your opportunity."

Dai Yu's voice rang out beside him at just the right moment.

For Dai Yu,

with the Background Suppression System,

there was no need to fight Huo Yuhao for opportunities.

As long as he entered new maps with Huo Yuhao and bonded with new characters,

he could rely on the System Rewards to remain invincible forever!

It was just that Dai Yu wasn't sure

whether the system had any restrictions.

If it didn't,

Dai Yu wanted to charge straight into the Core Area of Star Dou Great Forest.

That was Lake of Life.

Then he would bond directly with Gu Yuena.

Under the Background Suppression effect, at the very least, he would be able to become a God King!

But Dai Yu felt that there was no way things could be so convenient.

He would wait for a while and see.

Otherwise, charging into Lake of Life now would simply be throwing his life away.

Huo Yuhao instinctively chose to trust Dai Yu, and his tense body relaxed.

The next moment, that enormous mass of white light completely swallowed Huo Yuhao.

"I'm going to become your Soul Ring!

Remember, my name is Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!"

"From now on, I'll take you to eat the finest food and drink the best wine!"

As Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's smug, annoying voice echoed,

an extremely frigid spiritual storm suddenly spread outward with Huo Yuhao at its center.

Watching Huo Yuhao cocooned in white light, Dai Yu folded his arms across his chest, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

"So this is the fusion process of a Million-Year Wisdom Soul Ring..."

"Yuhao, I'll leave Brother Sky Dream to you, but as for my own setup..."

Dai Yu stroked the Storage Ring on his hand, then sensed the ten masses of Saint Tiger Origin within his body, each one like a nuclear reactor.

"It seems to be just a little bit more luxurious than yours."

As the dazzling white light gradually receded,

Huo Yuhao suddenly felt an indescribably refreshing coolness spread throughout his body.

His nerves, which had been taut from tension and fear, completely relaxed under the soothing power, and his consciousness sank into a strange space.

It was a golden ocean, vast and boundless, its surface glittering with ripples.

Huo Yuhao stood blankly on the surface of the sea, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings with a thoroughly bewildered expression.

"This... where is this?

Am I dead?"

"Dead, my foot! You idiot!

This is your Sea of Consciousness!"

That annoying voice rang out again. Immediately afterward, the golden seawater churned and condensed into the shape of an enormous Ice Silkworm.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm twisted his plump body and looked at Huo Yuhao smugly.

"Wahahaha!

Little Yuhao, welcome to your spiritual world!

From today onward, I'm your Soul Ring—and an unprecedented First Soul Ring at that!

I'm the renowned Sky Dream Ice Silkworm of the entire continent, and the first Soul Beast in the history of Douluo Continent to break through a million years of cultivation!

How about it? Are you so stunned by my greatness that you've gone silly?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm narrowed his tiny eyes into slits, his feelers waving excitedly as he began rambling on about his "rise to fame."

"Back then, I was still a weak Ice Silkworm. While avoiding natural enemies in the Far North, I fell into an ice crevice.

Guess what happened next?

It was filled with Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow!

So I ate and ate, slept and slept. When I woke up, I was already a hundred thousand years old. Then I ate and slept some more...

And that's how, relying on unparalleled luck and talent, I managed to sleep my way into becoming a Million-Year Soul Beast!

There is only one across the entire continent! The one and only, with no other branch anywhere!"

The more Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spoke, the more excited he became, as if he could already see the glorious future in which he led Huo Yuhao to punch Di Tian and kick the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

However, as he listened, a trace of confusion appeared in Huo Yuhao's originally admiring eyes.

He scratched his head and timidly interrupted Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's passionate speech.

"That... Brother Sky Dream?"

"Hmm?

What is it?

Could it be that your admiration for me is like the endless waves of a mighty river?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked smugly.

Huo Yuhao blinked and asked sincerely.

"You said just now... that you were the only Million-Year Soul Beast on the entire continent?"

"Of course!

I'm absolutely unique!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm puffed out his chest.

"But..."

Huo Yuhao pointed toward the "outside" of the Sea of Consciousness—in other words, in the direction of the real world—and asked in confusion.

"If you're the only Million-Year Soul Beast, Brother Sky Dream, then what was that huge tiger that just sacrificed itself to Yu Ge?

Its aura seemed much stronger than yours, and it had that kind of golden ring too..."

"Uh..."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who had still been waving his limbs around, instantly became like a duck whose neck had been squeezed. His voice stopped abruptly.

The entire Sea of Consciousness seemed to fall into deathly silence.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's enormous body froze in midair, and the expression on his face became indescribably colorful.

Awkward.

The kind of awkwardness that deserved to be written in capital letters.

He had just finished bragging that he was "the one and only under heaven and earth," only to be slapped brutally in the face by Huo Yuhao, this honest child, with the facts.

"Ahem! Ahem, ahem!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm coughed violently several times, trying to cover up his embarrassment. His chubby face even flushed with a humanlike blush.

He shrank his head guiltily and muttered.

"Well... about that...

To be honest, I'm confused too!

I've been making my way around Douluo Continent for so many years, but I've never heard of such a ruthless character!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm recalled the terrifying killing intent radiating from that Sacred Beast White Tiger and couldn't help shivering.

That aura, born purely for slaughter and battle, was practically the nemesis of Soul Beasts like them, which specialized in the spiritual and Support Type.

"Little Yuhao, that Yu Ge of yours... isn't simple."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sighed, his tone becoming several degrees more serious as he tried to salvage some dignity.

"That huge tiger from earlier—although I don't know it, it was definitely also a million-year existence.

It might even... have bloodline of a slightly higher level than mine.

Just a tiny bit higher!

I really have no idea which crack in a rock it sprang from. It actually chose to Sacrifice itself too."

At this point, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm seemed to have found a reason to save face and immediately straightened his back again.

"However!

Little Yuhao, you don't need to envy your Yu Ge!

Although that huge tiger was strong, its Sacrifice was absolute. Even its soul dispersed, leaving behind only a pile of dead energy.

I'm different!

I'm a Wisdom Soul Ring!

I'm still alive. I can teach you how to cultivate, warn you of danger, and keep you company while chatting away your boredom!

That dead tiger can't compare with me!

So, all things considered, I'm still the more impressive one. Understand?"
