Kids Are the Only Ones Who Have to Choose? That's Right, I'm a Kid! (Please Favorite, Recommend, Vote!)

The moment the system notification rang out, Tang Ya and Beibei beside Huo Yuhao suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"Heh, lucky me. I finally ran into a human with a spiritual attribute."

The ground began trembling without warning.

Cracks started appearing in the ground two meters in front of Huo Yuhao, with faint golden-white light flickering within them.

A thread of icy chill seeped from the cracks in the ground, and the surrounding temperature began dropping noticeably.

The platinum light within the cracks gradually revealed its true form.

It was a silkworm over a meter in diameter and more than seven meters long, its entire body jade-white yet crystal-clear.

Halos flowed beneath its skin, but what was most peculiar were the golden bands encircling its body at regular intervals.

There were dozens of them from head to tail.

"So this is the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm?"

Xu Tianming stared intently at the huge grub that seemed to be communicating with Huo Yuhao, his brows rising slightly.

Under Mu Ye's guidance, he had long mastered the ability to conceal his spiritual power. With Mu Ye hiding him now as well, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had not noticed Xu Tianming's presence.

[God-Level Choice One: Immediately release your spiritual power to attract the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's attention and make it change its target to the host.]

[Reward: Second Martial Soul, Ice Silkworm!]

[God-Level Choice Two: Release your spiritual power after the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sacrifices itself to Huo Yuhao and intercept Electrolux.]

[Reward: Spirit Soul Contract*1!]

Listening to the mechanical voice in his mind, Xu Tianming could not help asking the system inwardly:

"System, only kids have to choose. Can't I just take everything?"

Although the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had lost most of its strength and could no longer produce a Spirit Bone,

the four abilities bestowed by its Million-Year Soul Ring and the enhancement to spiritual attributes were simply beyond comparison to the Soul Rings of ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

As for Electrolux, there was even less need to mention him. Whether it was the Undead Half-Plane or Undead Magic, both were powers utterly different from those of the Douluo Continent.

Not to mention that he had created the Spirit Soul Method, powerful enough to transform the entire continent, based on Undead Magic.

The value of such a portable old grandpa even surpassed that of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, an intelligent Million-Year Soul Ring.

[System request detected. Choice Three is now available!]

[God-Level Choice Three: Immediately unleash your spiritual power at full force, attracting both the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux, and seize all of the opportunities belonging to Huo Yuhao, the Child of Destiny of the Douluo Continent.]

[Reward: Direct intervention by God King Tang San in the Douluo Continent!]

"Seriously? Are you screwing with me?"

For a moment, Xu Tianming did not even know where to begin complaining.

Though Tang San had secretly prepared plenty of leashes for Huo Yuhao, he still had at least some sense of shame at this point.

All his methods were carried out behind the scenes; he had not yet become shameless enough to directly intervene in the situation across the entire Douluo Continent.

If he acted personally, no one on the current Douluo Continent would be able to stop him.

Xu Tianming even suspected that Beibei and Tang Ya's meeting with Huo Yuhao had been secretly arranged by Tang San.

Otherwise, why would Tang Ya, whose family had been destroyed and who desperately needed to strengthen the Tang Sect, recruit a child like Huo Yuhao, whose talent at the time was utterly terrible, into the Tang Sect?

She had even given him the Tang Sect's only quota for admission to Shrek Academy without an entrance exam?

Could it really have been just because she liked his grilled fish?

"Sure enough, the greater the reward, the greater the risk."

Shaking his head, Xu Tianming knew he could not possibly contend with Tang San right now.

Although he did not know exactly what the Spirit Soul Contract was, it should be more reliable than the Ice Silkworm as a second Martial Soul.

After all, aside from an anomaly like the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, both Ice Silkworm Martial Souls and Ice Silkworm Soul Beasts were of extremely low quality.

"I'm a kid, and I like multiple-choice questions!"

"So, System, I choose option two!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on making your choice. You have received one Spirit Soul Contract!]

[This reward will be delivered after the host successfully attracts Electrolux!]

While Xu Tianming communicated with the system, the ten golden Halos on the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's body had already wrapped around Huo Yuhao's frail body in the distance.

Its main body also transformed into streams of white light that poured into Huo Yuhao's body.

"This is... a sacrifice?"

Mu Ye murmured in surprise:

"I never expected the future Spirit Ice Douluo, Huo Yuhao, to possess such an opportunity!"

Living ten thousand years later, Mu Ye naturally knew none of these secrets.

"That Soul Beast is the continent's first Million-Year Soul Beast. Its name is the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm."

Xu Tianming stared fixedly at the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm performing the sacrifice and Huo Yuhao receiving it as he explained softly.

"A Million-Year Soul Beast?"

Mu Ye sucked in a sharp breath, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

"Your Highness, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm appears to be a spiritual-attribute Soul Beast, and it is highly compatible with your Martial Soul."

"Should I interrupt their sacrifice?"

As Mu Ye spoke, he had already begun condensing Soul Power in his palm.

"No need. I have a better choice."

Xu Tianming waved his hand, his gaze suddenly turning toward the sky.

At that very moment, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's body also began gradually dimming.

"Too weak, too weak. This is just too miserable."

"How many seals will I have to place on myself for this kid's body to withstand me?"

An invisible wave of spiritual power suddenly spread outward from Huo Yuhao's body.

"Huh? There's actually another spiritual-type Spirit Master here, and he can withstand my spiritual fluctuations without fainting?"

"What a blunder. With my spiritual power, I actually failed to notice him earlier!"

"Ah, damn it. I should have chosen him as my partner!"

Even Xu Tianming and Mu Ye were discovered when the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm released its spiritual power at full force.

Just as the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm wished it could choose a new sacrifice target, the previously clear sky suddenly darkened for some unknown reason.

A thunderous boom exploded high in the sky.

In that instant, the sun's light was completely obscured by darkness, and an overwhelming pressure that made it hard to breathe descended from above.

"What... what is this now?"

Mu Ye looked up at the sky, surprise appearing in his eyes.

Even ten thousand years later, few people could unleash pressure powerful enough to alter the heavens themselves.

"Elder Mu, no matter what happens later, do not make a move, and do not worry about me!"

Xu Tianming warned Mu Ye, but his eyes remained fixed on the sky.

One purple and two black Soul Rings suddenly appeared beneath his feet, while golden and silver light burst from his eyes as though tangible.

Along with Martial Soul Possession, an exceptionally pure spiritual power spread from between his brows toward the sky.

"Hm?"

"This human Spirit Master has such powerful spiritual power!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm naturally noticed this, and inwardly lamented its bad luck.

Both were spiritual-attribute Spirit Masters, but the person it had chosen was simply far too weak compared to the other.

A gray current of air descended from the sky as though drawn by an enormous force. It paused briefly, as if considering something.

In the end, under Mu Ye's astonished gaze, it drilled into Xu Tianming's forehead.
