Electrolux

"Human, let me introduce myself first. I'm—my name is Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. I'm the only million-year Soul Beast in the history of the Douluo Continent. Pretty impressive, huh? What's your name?"

Huo Yuhao was initially shocked to hear that. He said that a million-year Soul Beast sounded incredible, something he'd never even heard of before. Then he abruptly changed the subject and said his name was Huo Yuhao.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm didn't hesitate, either. "I'm going to enter your body now. I'm a little big, so bear with me. It might hurt a bit, but it'll be over soon."

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath. Why did that sound so weird?

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm didn't hesitate. Without drawing attention to it, he glanced toward the depths of Star Dou Forest, a hint of fear and apprehension flashing in his eyes. He remembered the years he'd spent serving as nourishment in Star Dou Forest.

He didn't waste any more time. He immediately wriggled his enormous silkworm body, eager to fuse with Huo Yuhao and leave.

"Here I come. Bear with it."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's round head slammed straight into Huo Yuhao's. The ten platinum-colored rings around his body began to writhe as if they were alive.

At the same time,

Huo Yuhao felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, and collapsed in an instant.

At that very moment,

Huo Yuhao's body began trembling uncontrollably.

After all, even though Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was sealing away his own power, that power was still far too immense.

And so, time slowly passed. No one knew how long it had been.

Inside Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea, a spiritual version of Huo Yuhao appeared.

Before Huo Yuhao stood Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, also in spiritual form...

Just then, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm burst out laughing. "Hahaha! Your big brother finally did it! I really am a peerless genius!"

Then Sky Dream Ice Silkworm looked at Huo Yuhao and asked, "Yuhao, how are you feeling now?"

Huo Yuhao took a moment to assess himself before answering, "Not too bad. My head hurts a little, and my body outside feels a bit uncomfortable, too."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm nodded. "Even though I did my best to suppress my power, you'd still feel like that. But it's perfectly normal."

Then Sky Dream Ice Silkworm continued without hesitation, "Let's talk about the situation first. Although I'm a million-year Soul Beast, our Ice Silkworm Clan doesn't have Soul Bones."

"But I can give you four Soul Skills: Spirit Detection, Spirit Sharing, Spirit Interference, and Soul Shock."

Huo Yuhao knew exactly what he meant by all that.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was a little displeased by how calmly Huo Yuhao was taking it. "Hey, you could at least act surprised! One Soul Ring giving you four Soul Skills is amazing!"

Only then did Huo Yuhao react. He immediately put on a look of astonishment. "Wow, you're amazing!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's body wobbled twice.

That praise sounded a little forced.

But Sky Dream Ice Silkworm didn't dwell on it. He planned to venture into the depths of Huo Yuhao's mind and learn about his memories.

But soon, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was taken aback again.

An invisible barrier lay deep within Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea. It seemed to come from another plane, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm couldn't get through.

What he didn't know was that it was the space where the system resided.

"Hey, what's in there? Why can't I get in?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked in surprise.

Huo Yuhao replied, "That's another trump card of mine."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm grew curious again. "What kind of trump card?"

Huo Yuhao answered directly, "I'll keep that secret for now. Anyway, it won't do you any harm. It'll even help me become a god."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm studied Huo Yuhao closely.

After a moment, he had no choice but to nod.

But just then, the previously clear sky suddenly darkened, and a powerful pressure descended from above.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sensed something. Another formidable spiritual force was bearing down on them.

Then a stream of gray light descended from above and instantly entered the space between Huo Yuhao's brows.

At the same time,

Inside Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea, the gray stream of light turned into a gray sphere of light and came to a stop.

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up at the sight. "Electrolux showed up just like that? Now I've got both of my cheat codes."

Just then, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately voiced his displeasure. "What is that thing? How dare it try to steal my person? Can't it feel my terrifyingly powerful spiritual pressure?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spoke with bluster, but he didn't dare actually make a move.

He'd been bullied by those Soul Beasts in the depths of Star Dou Forest, so all he could do was talk tough.

Just then, an old and dignified voice came from within the gray sphere. "With the sun and moon in my hand, I pluck the stars from the heavens. None in this world can compare to me. I never thought I'd still have a remnant of my soul left..."

After those words, the gray sphere fell silent once more.

Seeing that the gray sphere wasn't moving, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm grew bolder. He edged closer without thinking, curious to investigate.

But soon, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shook his body and decided not to take the risk.

Then Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sensed that his energy didn't conflict with that of the gray sphere.

After some thought, he decided they could coexist for now, as a favor.

Of course, the main reason was that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm knew he couldn't beat it. He'd chickened out.

Then,

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm looked at Huo Yuhao and asked, "Since you already know about my grand plan for the next ten thousand years, let me test you. Do you know how powerful the gods in this world really are? Or what do you know about the strongest people around?"

Huo Yuhao clenched his teeth, unsure how to respond.

How could he define the strongest people in this world?

It was hard to say.

For one thing, Douluo Continent had an absurd amount of hydrogen.

Ten thousand years ago, when Sea God Tang San picked up the Seagod Trident, he was already incredibly powerful.

But the Seagod Trident weighed a hundred and eight thousand jin—about fifty-four metric tons. That was still less than the cargo carried by a single semi-truck on Earth.

Of course, Huo Yuhao only thought that to himself.

After all, as time went on, even if the Douluo Continent still had plenty of gas and hydrogen, its overall strength would improve somewhat.

Then Huo Yuhao said, "The strong people here are pretty strong, and the gods here are pretty amazing, too. Really."

After thinking it over, that was all Huo Yuhao could say.

It was a kind of reassurance, at least.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm eyed Huo Yuhao suspiciously. He felt as if he could see a hint of disdain for their great Douluo Continent in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

But soon, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shook his head. He understood that Huo Yuhao was just a child and didn't have a full grasp of certain things.

Then Sky Dream Ice Silkworm didn't hesitate much longer. He thought he'd use some things he'd heard about during the years he'd been imprisoned to teach Huo Yuhao about the Douluo Continent.

But before Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could speak, the two of them suddenly sensed something with their powerful perception. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately said to Huo Yuhao,

"Something's wrong, Yuhao. Two people are coming from outside. They don't mean well!"

Huo Yuhao looked confused.

He thought the two people must be Beibei and Tang Ya. Why would they mean any harm?

But Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate for long. He quickly came to his senses.

When he opened his eyes, he saw two figures in the grass not far away.

Beside him, Xiao Wu looked anxious, her gaze warily fixed on the two figures.
