In the Heavenly Screen, the scene of Huo Yuhao accepting the Ice Empress's Sacrifice was not particularly long—in fact, it was quite brief.

Yet in that short span of images, it carved a deep mark into the hearts of everyone across the entire Douluo Continent!

Though different people had varied feelings and thoughts about Huo Yuhao risking his life for his mother, one thing was certain.

From the moment That Youth in the Heavenly Screen turned into a Blood Ice Sculpture, the name Huo Yuhao in people's minds was no longer just that of a lucky Son of Destiny chosen by the Douluo Star Will.

A person capable of going this far—with such a shocking Willpower—would never be ordinary, even without the favor of fate!

Before this, many had thought that as the Son of Destiny, with a Million-Year Soul Ring and an Otherworld God King Teacher handed to him on a silver platter, Huo Yuhao himself wasn't that remarkable—anyone with the same treatment could Become God.

But if anyone dared to spout such sour grapes after this, they'd likely be met with sarcasm.

Huo Yuhao relies only on being the Son of Destiny? You think you could do it too?

Come here, I've got an Illusion Soul Skill—first, try out Lingchi in my Soul Skill Illusion Realm. If you can endure three thousand six hundred cuts without begging for mercy, then I'll admit you're right!

In fact, some were already defending Huo Yuhao on their own: Why didn't the Douluo Star Will choose someone else, but specifically picked Huo Yuhao as the Son of Destiny?

Clearly, it had Seen Clearly this child's character from the start!

From Huo Yuhao's actions in the Heavenly Screen, it was obvious that once this youth set his sights on a goal, he would never retreat! Never cower!

The words "Retreat in the face of difficulty" simply didn't exist in his dictionary! The hardships and dangers of the Outside World could never defeat him either!

More importantly, he had a heart full of Goodness and a sense of gratitude.

Only someone like this, once grown, would not fear the threat of the Sea God! Would not compromise under Coercion and temptation, and would be willing to fight for the Douluo Star!

So, Huo Yuhao being chosen as the Son of Destiny by the Douluo Star Will might seem like pure luck, but in truth, it was because his own traits matched the Douluo Star Will's standards that he was selected!

Think about it—the Douluo Star Will's goal in choosing the Son of Destiny was to resist Sea God Tang San! Would it just pick anyone to bear this Heavy responsibility?

Take Dai Huabin, for example. If he were chosen as the Son of Destiny, would he dare to resist Sea God Tang San? He'd probably switch sides and Cut off ties with the Douluo Star as soon as he Became God!

Of course, there was also the possibility that even as the Son of Destiny, Dai Huabin's personality wouldn't earn the recognition of Brother Sky Dream or the Otherworld God King Electrolux, so he wouldn't get their help—or might even be abandoned.

After all, from what was shown in the Heavenly Screen, although the Son of Destiny had opportunities handed to him, whether he could seize them depended on himself. In a way, Brother Sky Dream, Elder Yi, and the Ice Empress all had a Two-way choice with Huo Yuhao.

While the impact of the Ice Empress's Sacrifice storyline was still spreading across the continent, and people's emotions and shock had yet to fade, new scenes had already begun in the Heavenly Screen.

[Scene Shifted: Huo Yuhao, fully recovered, woke up from an Ice Cave.

"Yuhao, you're awake?" Brother Sky Dream's mischievous voice rang out: "Congratulations, the surgery was a success—you're a Girl now~"

"Huh?!" Huo Yuhao's expression changed, and he instinctively grabbed downward, then relaxed and said with a wry smile, "Brother Sky Dream, don't tease me—I can't handle the scare."

"And you dare to say that? I was the one scared out of my wits earlier!" Brother Sky Dream huffed in a small tantrum before finally saying:

"At least your risk wasn't in vain. Your Soul Power is probably already at Level Thirty now, and the second Martial Soul I shaped for you has become the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. Hurry up and try out your new Soul Skills!"

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes to sense his own condition and said, "Not so fast. Earlier, the Ice Empress's Soul Ring was attached to my second Martial Soul, but I'm still at Level Twenty and haven't Breached yet. Let me have the Ice Empress attach the Soul Ring first!"

"Oh, right!"

Then, the Ice Empress's projection, now a Wisdom Soul Ring like Brother Sky Dream, appeared before Huo Yuhao to assist him in attaching the Soul Ring.

This Soul Ring attachment went very smoothly, and soon a second Blood Colored Soul Ring with gold-green patterns rose from beneath Huo Yuhao's feet.

"I knew it! Yuhao, you're at Level Thirty!" Seeing Huo Yuhao's aura instantly grow much stronger after attaching the second Fierce Beast Soul Ring, Brother Sky Dream sighed with emotion.

"Then let's keep going!" This time, attaching the Soul Ring no longer absorbed its Soul Power to raise levels, so the impact on the body was minimal, allowing for consecutive attachments.

With the Ice Empress's help, Huo Yuhao spent some more time attaching the third Soul Ring from the Ice Empress to his Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul, and his aura grew stronger again.

After a brief adjustment, Huo Yuhao said with a joyful expression, "My Soul Power is now nearly Level Thirty-Three. That risk was totally worth it! It directly raised my Soul Power by twelve levels!"

"Worth it? I was almost scared to death! Don't you dare take such risks again!" Brother Sky Dream said irritably. "Yuhao, I know you really want to revive your mother, but your own safety matters too!"

"If you keep walking by the river, your shoes are bound to get wet. Keep taking risks, and one day you'll lose the gamble. If something goes wrong and I can't save you in time, you'll be gone!"

"Yuhao, you don't want to Die from taking risks and end up unable to revive your mother, do you?"

Huo Yuhao Heard This and was silent for a moment, then said solemnly, "I understand, Brother Sky Dream. I'll be more careful from now on!"

"Mm, teachable! Tell me about the Soul Skills you got." Brother Sky Dream nodded in satisfaction.

"I got three Soul Skills in total, plus one Soul Bone Skill..." Huo Yuhao asked in confusion, "Hey, didn't they say a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone each come with two skills?"

Brother Sky Dream snorted, "I think you don't get it at all—concentration is the essence. One skill per Soul Ring means the quality of that Soul Skill is high, and it'll be much stronger!"

Huo Yuhao looked thoughtful: "Then Brother Sky Dream, when you attached four Soul Skills for me In the Past..."

"Don't change the subject!" Brother Sky Dream got annoyed. "Right now, we're talking about the Ice Empress's Soul Rings!"

"Oh." Huo Yuhao responded, then said, "The three Soul Skills I got are: First RingIce Empress's Claw! It greatly amplifies strength and attack power, and comes with Extreme Ice freezing effects and armor penetration."

"Second RingWinter's Will! When activated, it greatly enhances my Spiritual Power, grants immunity to most Spirit-based attacks, and amplifies my own Spirit Attribute Soul Skills!"

"Third RingInverted Horse Poison Stake! Summons an Ice Empress Scorpion Tail Phantom to inject extreme cold poison into the enemy, amplifying their pain a hundredfold!"

"This skill can also combo with the Soul Bone SkillTail Needle. Using the Scorpion Tail Soul Bone to unleash a defense-ignoring Tail Needle while simultaneously activating Inverted Horse Poison Stake triggers a terrifying cold poison explosion inside the target!"

"Tsk tsk, terrifying indeed!"]
