Activating the Drunken Sword Immortal—A Grown-Up Huo Yuhao!?

Huo Yuhao's muscles, bones, and internal organs all began to change under this nourishment.

Aside from the skull bone, which benefited the most noticeably, even his limbs and torso, areas not covered by the Spirit Bone, were continuously improving in every aspect under its nourishment.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time had passed, the light within the underground cavern gradually began to fade, and the faint prickling, icy itch in Huo Yuhao's head slowly subsided.

Snow Empress's cool, slightly weary voice quietly sounded. "Yuhao, congratulations. The Spirit Bone has completely fused."

Huo Yuhao's entire body jolted, and his drowsy mind immediately became a little more alert.

"Huh? That's it?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: "."

Snow Empress: "."

Suppressing the urge to beat up his Host, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm clicked his tongue. "Yuhao, anyone who didn't know better would think you were a Defense System Soul Master. You really know how to make people jealous. This is a seven-hundred-thousand-year Snow Empress Skull!"

Snow Empress's voice drifted over. "Tian Meng, I believe what you said now. If someone Favored by Fate like Yuhao cannot become a God, then no one else could possibly do so!"

Huo Yuhao chuckled.

After the Spirit Bone had fused, Huo Yuhao's body had undergone enormous changes.

His bones had visibly grown under the nourishment of those potent nutrients. His shoulders had broadened somewhat, and he had grown taller as well.

His muscles, tendons, fascia, blood vessels, and internal organs had all become countless times tougher than before.

With Huo Yuhao's physical transformation complete, Snow Empress's fusion with him proceeded much more smoothly.

Another day passed. Within the Ice God Palace ruins, the cold wind remained biting, and huge flakes of snow drifted down from the sky.

Yet strangely, the snowflakes that landed on the ground did not accumulate. Instead, they quietly merged into it, as though they had completely vanished.

With a crack, the raised platform before the Ice God Palace suddenly flipped open. An arm as lustrous white as jade reached out from within and gripped the edge.

Then, with a light leap, he jumped out.

The lines of his body were exceptionally well-proportioned. His muscles were not particularly bulky, but they were perfectly balanced.

After emerging from the ice and snow, his jade-white skin gave off a unique sheen against the surrounding whiteness.

As he slowly opened his eyes, two different colors flashed through his deep blue pupils in an instant—first gold, then an eerie icy white, like a certain Byakugan from Naruto.

As his eyes changed, a strange sight appeared.

Any snowflake that came within three chi of his body automatically veered away. Centered on his body, a vacuum-like patch of pure ground had appeared amid this icy wilderness.

The icy white in his eyes gradually faded, and his profound dark-blue pupils reappeared.

He suddenly clenched both fists. In an instant, his well-proportioned body erupted with an overwhelming sense of power.

With a light jump, he actually leaped more than two zhang straight into the air!

As his body reached its highest point, he threw back his head and released a clear, resounding howl.

Rolling sound waves echoed through the air, scattering the falling snow in all directions.

His mind felt utterly clear. As Soul Power circulated, he could clearly see brilliant jade-white light blooming from his head.

The sight was both magnificent and terrifying.

Then, a dazzling layer of white light suddenly spread out from his head, turning all space within a two-hundred-meter radius jade-white.

The snowflakes within that range seemed to have gained weight as they fell with a series of crackling pops.

When they struck the ground, they sounded like tiny knives, continuously producing sharp, clanging thuds.

After that, two Spirit Rings flashing with dazzling radiance rose from beneath his feet.

Both Halos were a startling blood-red throughout—noble and cold.

Their color, like a sea of blood, radiated endless majesty. Seven golden patterns flickered faintly upon those blood-red Halos.

The intertwining red and gold were exceptionally dazzling amid the snow-filled ruins, as though a God that had slumbered for ages had awakened from ancient history, carrying a solemn beauty.

The instant those two Spirit Rings appeared, the boy's aura abruptly changed as well.

An ancient, noble, and majestic presence burst forth from his body. The drifting snowflakes around him froze in place before slowly beginning to revolve around him, as though paying their respects—or welcoming an emperor.

And appearing alongside those two Spirit Rings was the golden phantom behind Huo Yuhao!

Huo Yuhao turned and stared. It was his second Martial Soul, the Drunken Sword Immortal!

This Drunken Sword Immortal Martial Soul stood roughly two meters tall, its entire body a brilliant gold.

Yet perhaps because it had been given Snow Empress's Spirit Rings, jade-white radiance occasionally flowed through its dazzling golden body, making it incomparably resplendent.

This Drunken Sword Immortal Martial Soul bore a seventy to eighty percent resemblance to Huo Yuhao. In its right hand, it held a three-chi-long sword. The ancient blade resembled a simple, dignified Eight-Sided Han Sword.

The details of its clothing were distinct, exquisite, and neat. It somewhat resembled the sword robes from the xianxia films of Huo Yuhao's previous life, making it look heroic, dashing, and carefree!

After Spirit Rings were added to his second Martial Soul, the Martial Soul brought by the system was finally activated!

"Strange, Yuhao, your Martial Soul is actually a real person—and he looks so much like you!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's astonished voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

The more Huo Yuhao looked at this Martial Soul, the more he liked it. With a look of surprise, he said, "Heh, that's true. Once I grow up, I'll probably look like this too, right?"

Snow Empress's somewhat weak voice followed, carrying obvious curiosity. "What a peculiar Martial Soul. As far as I know, no purely humanoid Martial Soul like this has ever appeared among you humans."

"At most, there are only humanoid types, such as Angel and Mermaid Martial Souls. But fundamentally, the original form of those humanoid Martial Souls is not actually the human race."

"But yours is a true, unprecedented humanoid Martial Soul. This is simply unbelievable!" By the end, Snow Empress's voice was full of astonishment.

Naturally, Huo Yuhao knew perfectly well where this Martial Soul had come from, but he could not possibly tell Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Snow Empress about the system. He merely chuckled. "Doesn't this better demonstrate my extraordinary Talent? It proves you made the right choice!"

"That's right! The potential of humans truly is enviable!"

Snow Empress could not help praising him again.

"Right, Yuhao. Take a look at your Spirit Eye. After receiving the skull bone I gave you, it should have undergone some changes."

Huo Yuhao's heart stirred, and he immediately switched his Martial Soul to the Spirit Eye.
