At that thought, Huo Yuhao immediately said, "Snow Empress, this Martial Soul of mine is indeed exceptionally talented in the way of the sword. After absorbing your power, I suddenly comprehended a sword skill. I'd like you to help me assess its power."
Snow Empress was somewhat surprised. "Oh? You've already gained insight just after fusing a Spirit Ring?"
She immediately asked curiously, "In that case, show me. It'll be a good chance to see just how talented your Drunken Sword Immortal Martial Soul is in swordsmanship."
Huo Yuhao nodded excitedly. "Alright!"
With that, he immediately activated the Drunken Sword Immortal, sinking his consciousness into the system and drawing upon his Drunken Intent Points.
He remembered that using a Peerless Sword Skill required the consumption of 100 Drunken Intent Points.
A sharp glint flashed through Huo Yuhao's eyes as he gave a low shout. "A single sword strike, frost chills fourteen states!"
"Whoosh—whoosh—"
An icy wind howled through the sky, and snowflakes swirled everywhere.
But aside from that, nothing happened!
Huo Yuhao blinked, and the situation became rather awkward.
"Cough, cough." After two soft coughs, Snow Empress hurriedly consoled him. "It's alright, Yuhao. Your Martial Soul has only just received its Spirit Ring. You still need more time to understand it and develop its potential. Take it slowly; there's no rush."
Huo Yuhao's face reddened, and he was so embarrassed that he nearly crawled back into the underground chamber.
Damn it!
That was beyond humiliating!
Only then did he remember that, to use the Drunken Sword Immortal Martial Soul's Peerless Sword Skill, he needed not only 100 Drunken Intent Points, but also alcohol as a catalyst!
"Cough, cough. Well, it's like this, Snow Empress. My Martial Soul is rather special. If I want to use sword skills, I need to drink first to get in the mood."
Snow Empress's voice became hesitant. "Drink to get in the mood? Yuhao, you really don't need to force yourself. I—"
Before Snow Empress could finish, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, pulled a flask of Mid-Grade Liquor from his Storage Ring, and began chugging it down.
This was way too socially mortifying!
No, I can't leave Snow Empress with such a cringe-worthy impression of me!
This young master must restore his dignity!
As the liquor went down his throat, a strange sensation rose in Huo Yuhao's mind. Using it as a medium, he instantly established communication with the Drunken Sword Immortal.
Huo Yuhao gave another low shout. "A single sword strike, frost chills fourteen states!"
The next instant, an icy gleam suddenly lit up in the eyes of the golden Drunken Sword Immortal Martial Soul.
It was true icy light!
Under the illumination of that icy gleam, the surrounding temperature instantly plummeted!
Then, the Drunken Sword Immortal's golden phantom stepped forward and merged into Huo Yuhao's body.
A pure and powerful sword intent immediately spread from Huo Yuhao's body.
He abruptly raised his head, and a Simple Light Sword, seemingly solidified from golden light, suddenly appeared in his hand.
Then, he swept his sword through the air!
Brilliant golden sword light surged from Huo Yuhao like a raging tsunami, soaring into the heavens!
Centered on Huo Yuhao, countless Frost Sword Qi instantly filled a two-hundred-meter radius.
Carrying piercing shrieks, the Frost Sword Qi darted wildly through the air like flashes of lightning, frantically slicing through heaven and earth!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!"
In the blink of an eye, the snowflakes in this stretch of space were pulverized into dust and drifted down from the sky.
The entire area was swept completely clear.
Yet the chill in the air grew increasingly grim, an ultimate cold that froze one to the very core!
Huo Yuhao looked excitedly at everything before him. This Peerless Sword Skill really was incredibly powerful!
He immediately asked in his mind, "Snow Empress, what do you think of the power of the sword skill I comprehended?"
Snow Empress fell silent as she sensed the changes outside.
"Snow Empress?"
After Huo Yuhao repeatedly pressed her, Snow Empress finally broke the silence. "It's roughly equivalent to the attack power of a Power Attack Type Soul Emperor."
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up, and he excitedly waved a hand. "That's awesome! I've only added two Spirit Rings, but my actual Soul Power has already reached the level of a Soul Ancestor."
"Wouldn't the power of a Power Attack Type Soul Emperor mean I've directly crossed two major ranks?"
Sensing Huo Yuhao's incomparably excited emotions, Snow Empress felt nothing but bitterness in her heart.
"Human Talent is far too absurd. He's only just added Spirit Rings to his Martial Soul—why is he able to comprehend such a terrifying sword skill?"
"What kind of Martial Soul is this Drunken Sword Immortal, exactly?"
Classmate Snow Empress instantly became depressed!
Huo Yuhao failed to notice Snow Empress's silent descent into despair after suffering such a heavy blow.
After a while, he finally reined in his excitement and said to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in his mind, "Tian Meng, Snow Empress's fusion with me is complete. Next, we'll go find Ice Empress."
"With the body Snow Empress has remodeled for me as a foundation, plus the fact that I still have two Spirit Ring slots left, I should be able to fuse with Ice Empress's power."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, having witnessed everything that had just happened, also clicked its tongue in admiration.
However, because he did not know much about swordsmanship, the shock he felt was nowhere near as great as Snow Empress's.
The moment Huo Yuhao mentioned it, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's attention immediately shifted to a certain beautiful scorpion. "That's right, that's right! Let's hurry up and find Ice Empress. With Snow Empress joining us, Ice Empress will definitely be willing to join us too!"
Thinking of how he would soon see his goddess—and even live together with her—Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the million-year-old veteran simp who called himself The Most Affectionate in the Far North, was thrilled beyond measure!
"Come to think of it, Bing Er's next Heavenly Tribulation is indeed drawing near. I haven't seen her in a long time either," Snow Empress said wistfully.
"Hahaha, good! In that case, Tian Meng, lead the way. Let's go find Ice Empress!"
Huo Yuhao laughed heartily, withdrew the Drunken Sword Immortal Martial Soul, and shot rapidly outside.
Snow Empress had successfully fused with him. With Snow Empress present, Huo Yuhao believed that Ice Empress, that little lesbian, definitely would not refuse his invitation.
Once he completed his fusion with Ice Empress, he would truly break through into the Soul Ancestor realm. On top of that, he would have the support of two Top-Grade Soul Bones.
With such a formidable foundation and reserves, he would absolutely be a boss-level existence in the Novice Village!
Setting out once more, Huo Yuhao no longer needed Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Sloughed Shell to help shield him from the low temperatures.
Having absorbed Snow Empress's power and fused with Snow Empress's Spirit Bone, he no longer felt even the slightest bit of cold amid the icy snowfields. All he felt was familiarity and comfort.
In Huo Yuhao's perception, the surrounding wind and snow seemed like his children, cheering and leaping about him.
Like Huo Gua in the original work, his Martial Soul now possessed the Ultimate Ice attribute.
Snow Empress's imposing aura radiated from his body. Upon sensing it, the ice-attributed soul beasts of the Far North Core Circle fled in panic from a great distance away, not daring to approach at all.
A day later, guided by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao arrived at a certain location within the Far North Core Circle.
"Yuhao, this should be about right. Here is fine," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said excitedly.
