In the Heavenly Screen, the scene of Huo Yuhao accepting the Ice Empress's Sacrifice actually wasn't very long, and was even somewhat brief.
Yet this short moment left a deep mark in the hearts of everyone across the entire Douluo Continent!
Although different groups of people had different feelings and thoughts about Huo Yuhao risking his life for his mother, one thing was certain.
From the moment that boy in the Heavenly Screen transformed into a Blood Ice Sculpture, the name Huo Yuhao was no longer merely associated with the Son of Destiny who had luckily been chosen by the Douluo Star Will.
Anyone capable of going this far, relying solely on that shocking Willpower, would never be ordinary even without the favor of destiny!
Before this, many people had felt that Huo Yuhao, as the Son of Destiny, had a Million-Year Soul Ring and an Otherworld God King Teacher automatically coming to him, while he himself was nothing special. Anyone else given such treatment could become a god just as well.
But if anyone said such sour things afterward, they would probably be met with sarcastic retorts.
Huo Yuhao only relied on his identity as the Son of Destiny? If it were you, you could do it too?
Come on, I have an Illusion Soul Skill here. Why don't you try Lingchi in my Soul Skill Illusion Realm first? If you can endure all three thousand six hundred cuts without begging for mercy, I'll admit you were right!
Even now, some people had already taken the initiative to defend Huo Yuhao: Why hadn't the Douluo Star Will chosen someone else, but chosen Huo Yuhao as the Son of Destiny?
It had clearly seen through this child's character from the very beginning!
Huo Yuhao's actions in the Heavenly Screen made it clear that once this boy set his sights on a goal, he would never retreat! He would never shrink back!
The words "retreat in the face of difficulty" simply did not exist in his dictionary! The hardships and dangers of the outside world could never defeat him!
More importantly, he possessed a kind heart and knew how to repay kindness.
Only someone like that would not fear the Sea God's threats after growing up! He would not compromise under coercion and inducement, and would be willing to fight for Douluo Star!
Thus, Huo Yuhao being chosen as the Son of Destiny by the Douluo Star Will seemed like mere luck, but in reality, it was because his own qualities met the standards of the Douluo Star Will. That was why he had been chosen!
Think about it carefully. The Douluo Star Will had chosen the Son of Destiny to resist Sea God Tang San! Could it casually choose someone to shoulder this Heavy responsibility?
Take someone like Dai Huabin. If he were chosen as the Son of Destiny, would he dare resist Sea God Tang San? Wouldn't he immediately switch sides and sever ties with Douluo Star after becoming a god?
Of course, there was another possibility: even if Dai Huabin became the Son of Destiny, his personality might not win the approval of Tian Meng and the Otherworld God King Electrolux. He might be unable to obtain their help, or might even be abandoned.
After all, judging from the Heavenly Screen, although opportunities were delivered to the Son of Destiny's doorstep, whether he could seize them still depended on himself. Whether it was Tian Meng, Elder Yi, or the Ice Empress, to some extent, they had all chosen Huo Yuhao mutually.
While the impact caused by the Ice Empress's Sacrifice continued spreading across the continent, and the people's feelings and shock had yet to fade,
new developments had already unfolded in the Heavenly Screen.
[The scene shifted. Huo Yuhao, who had completely recovered, awoke in an Ice Cave.
"Yuhao, you're awake?" Brother Sky Dream's shameless voice rang out. "Congratulations, the operation was a complete success. You're a girl now~"
"What?!" Huo Yuhao's expression changed. He instinctively reached down and grabbed at himself, then relaxed and said with a bitter smile, "Brother Sky Dream, stop teasing me. I can't take a scare like that."
"You have the nerve to say that? You scared me half to death earlier!" Tian Meng threw a brief little tantrum before finally saying:
"At least your risk wasn't wasted. Your Soul Power is probably already at Rank 30, and the Second Martial Soul I created for you has also become an Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. Hurry up and try your new Soul Skills!"
Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and sensed his condition before saying, "Let's not rush. The Ice Empress's Soul Ring was attached to the Second Martial Soul earlier, but I haven't broken through Rank 20 yet. Let the Ice Empress attach the Soul Ring first!"
"Oh, right!"
Afterward, the Ice Empress's projection appeared before Huo Yuhao. Like Tian Meng, she had become a Wisdom Soul Ring and assisted him in attaching the Soul Ring.
This Soul Ring attachment went extremely smoothly. Soon, a second Blood Colored Soul Ring with golden-green patterns emerged from beneath Huo Yuhao's feet.
"I knew I wasn't wrong! Yuhao, you've reached Rank 30!" Seeing Huo Yuhao's Aura grow much stronger after the second Fierce Beast Soul Ring was attached, Tian Meng sighed emotionally.
"Then let's continue!" This time, attaching the Soul Ring would no longer absorb its Soul Power to raise his rank, so the impact on his body was also minimal. They could attach them consecutively.
With the Ice Empress's assistance, Huo Yuhao spent a little more time attaching the third Soul Ring, which came from the Ice Empress, to the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul. His Aura grew stronger by several degrees once again.
After adapting slightly, Huo Yuhao spoke with delight. "My Soul Power is nearly Rank 33 now. That adventure really was worth it! It directly raised my Soul Power by twelve ranks!"
"Worth it? You nearly scared me to death! You're not allowed to take such risks again!" Tian Meng said crossly. "Yuhao, although you really want to revive your mother, your own safety is important too!"
"Who can walk beside a river without getting their shoes wet? If you keep taking risks, you'll eventually gamble and lose. What if something went wrong and I didn't make it in time to save you? You'd be dead!"
"Yuhao, you don't want to die because of an adventure and cause your mother to be unable to revive, do you?"
Huo Yuhao fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, then said solemnly, "I understand, Brother Sky Dream. I'll be more careful in the future!"
"Good. You can still be taught! Tell me about the Soul Skills you obtained." Tian Meng nodded in satisfaction.
"I obtained three Soul Skills in total, as well as a Soul Bone Skill..." Huo Yuhao asked in confusion, "Huh? Didn't they say that a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone would have two skills?"
Tian Meng snorted. "You really don't understand at all. Concentration is the essence. If each Soul Ring has only one skill, that means the quality of that Soul Skill is very high, and it will be much stronger!"
Huo Yuhao pondered. "Then, Brother Sky Dream, when you attached four Soul Skills to me back then..."
"Don't change the subject!" Tian Meng became annoyed. "We're talking about the Ice Empress's Soul Ring now!"
"Oh." Huo Yuhao acknowledged him, then said, "The three Soul Skills I obtained are, respectively: First Ring—Ice Empress's Claw! It greatly amplifies strength and attack power, while also possessing the Extreme Ice freezing effect and defense penetration effect."
"Second Ring—Winter's Will! When activated, it greatly enhances my Spiritual Power, grants immunity to the vast majority of spiritual attacks, and can also amplify my own Spirit Attribute Soul Skills!"
"Third Ring—Inverted Horse Poison Stake! It summons the Ice Empress Scorpion Tail Phantom to inject the enemy with Extreme Ice poison, and amplifies the target's sense of pain a hundredfold!"
"This skill can also link with the Soul Bone Skill—Tail Needle. The Scorpion Tail Soul Bone fires a Tail Needle that ignores defenses. When Inverted Horse Poison Stake is activated at the same time, it will unleash a terrifying ice poison explosion inside the target's body!"
"Tsk, tsk, terrifying indeed!"]
