Huo Yuhao's Second Martial Soul
The Core Area of Far North.
A fierce wind whipped up large snowflakes that pounded on the ground, and all around was a vast expanse of white snow, obscuring everything.
Huo Yuhao was wrapped in the remains of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, but he still couldn't withstand the cold of the Far North Core Area.
"Brother Sky Dream, didn't you say you could find him? Where is he?" Huo Yuhao complained in his mind.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm paced anxiously in its mental sea.
"I'm puzzled too! My mental energy has covered hundreds of miles, but I haven't seen a single ordinary Ice Jade Scorpion, let alone Ice Empress!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice was filled with deep doubt.
Huo Yuhao sniffed his nose, which was almost frozen.
During that year, he relied on the nourishment of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's essence to finally grind his Soul Power to level 20.
Before coming to the Far North, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm patted his chest and guaranteed that he could definitely get him a top-grade Second Martial Soul.
As a result, the man and the insect wandered around in the freezing cold for almost seven days without even touching a single scorpion hair.
"Brother Sky Dream, I'm freezing!" Huo Yuhao rubbed his hands. "The insulation from the remains isn't working very well."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm remained silent for a moment.
"We can't wait any longer. Your physical condition is too poor right now; if you stay any longer, something bad will definitely happen."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sighed.
"Where did Ice Empress go? Has something terrible happened in the Far North?"
Huo Yuhao didn't reply; all he wanted to do was find a warm place as soon as possible.
"Yuhao, the plan needs to be changed."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm made a decision.
"Since we can't find the Ice Empress, we have to settle for second best. In the Far North, besides the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan, there is also the Titan Snow Demon Clan."
Although the Titan Snow Demon isn't the Ultimate Ice, it's still a top-tier bloodline on this ice plain. "I'll find you a ten-thousand-year-old one."
Huo Yuhao was taken aback.
"Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? Can I handle it?"
"With me here, it has no choice but to obediently sacrifice itself," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm snorted.
Three days later.
The outer region of the Far North.
Huo Yuhao sat under a sheltered ice rock, panting heavily.
His right arm gleamed with a faint, ethereal white light, and a powerful force within him was slowly subsiding.
A ten-thousand-year-old Titan Snow Demon was forced to sacrifice itself under the immense spiritual pressure of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
Huo Yuhao not only obtained the Titan Snow Demon as his Second Martial Soul, but also a ten-thousand-year-old Titan Snow Demon right arm bone.
His Soul Power surged to level twenty-two.
In order to add Second Soul Ring to his First Martial Soul Spirit Eye, the Spirit Eye, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm also caught an eight-hundred-year-old Ice Silkworm.
After absorbing the Ice Silkworm Soul Ring, Huo Yuhao's Soul Power stabilized at level twenty-three.
Huo Yuhao clenched his right fist, feeling the explosive power coming from his right arm.
Although he failed to obtain the legendary Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, the bloodline of the Titan Snow Demon remains formidable.
"Twin Martial Souls." Huo Yuhao looked down at his palm, his heart pounding.
How many of those so-called geniuses at the Shrek Academy actually possess Twin Martial Souls?
The image of Dai Huabin involuntarily appeared in his mind.
That blond-haired, blue-eyed boy was always aloof and powerful, inspiring despair in others.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and exhaled a puff of white mist.
Even Dai Huabin doesn't possess Twin Martial Souls.
Huo Yuhao told himself, "My starting point is different now. As long as I continue to work hard, sooner or later I will catch up with him, surpass him, and defeat him!"
Star Luo Empire, White Tiger Duke Mansion.
Inside the underground training room.
Dai Huabin sat quietly cross-legged on the futon, focusing his mental energy inward.
Seven days have passed since that transaction at the Starlight Auction House.
He didn't go out during this period. Apart from accompanying Zhu Lu to consolidate her cultivation, he spent the rest of his time cultivating.
After absorbing the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, Zhu Lu's Soul Power was stuck at the peak of level 39, and she could break through the level 40 mark at any time.
Dai Huabin calculated the time; the commotion in the Undead Semi-Plane should be coming to a conclusion soon.
He opened his eyes, and a thought struck him.
A gray six-pointed star lit up beneath his feet, and with a flash of light, his figure disappeared from the training room.
Undead Semi-Plane.
The gray sky remained oppressive, but the temperature in the air was much lower than it had been two weeks ago.
As soon as Dai Huabin landed, he saw Ice Empress squatting on the ground not far ahead, his hands supporting his chin, staring intently ahead.
Following Ice Empress's gaze, a huge white cocoon of light floated in mid-air.
Pure ice and snow energy flowed across the surface of the cocoon, and tiny ice flowers even condensed in the surrounding air.
Hearing footsteps, Ice Empress turned around.
"You've come."
"How is the situation?" Dai Huabin walked over and stopped next to Ice Empress.
"Soon."
Ice Empress stood up straight; his height of just over 1.5 meters only reached Dai Huabin's chest.
"Xue'er's origin is too vast, making the reshaping of her body more difficult than expected. However, the energy has already begun to contract, and it should be completed by today at the latest."
Dai Huabin nodded, his gaze fixed on the cocoon of light.
Unlike the original story where Huo Yuhao used the God Sealing Platform to block the attack, and with the Ice Empress present, the Snow Empress did not detonate her source energy this time.
Therefore, the Snow Empress's transformation this time is the culmination of seven hundred thousand years of accumulated essence.
Dai Huabin was very curious about just how strong the Snow Empress would be after she transformed into human form.
Auspicious Beast don't start their transformation from level ten, so it's unlikely that the Snow Empress would do the same.
Electrolux's phantom appeared in mid-air.
"Huabin, this Ice Snow Spirit's potential is truly astonishing. She has completely preserved her original essence, and her reconstructed body will perfectly fit the human cultivation system."
The words had barely left his mouth.
The white cocoon of light in mid-air suddenly emitted a crisp cracking sound.
Dai Huabin and Ice Empress both looked up at the same time.
A crack appeared on the surface of the cocoon, and then the crack quickly spread outwards.
A large amount of white light poured out from it, so bright that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes.
At the center of the light, a tall, slender figure slowly appeared.
The white light gradually faded away.
Snow Empress, barefoot, hovered half a foot above the ground.
A head of long, white hair cascaded down her slender back, reaching all the way to her ankles.
His sky-blue eyes were ethereal and clear, revealing no emotional fluctuations.
She wore a simple white dress that clung to her flawless figure.
Standing there, he resembled a plum blossom blooming proudly in the snow, exuding an air of otherworldly purity and aloofness.
Ice Empress immediately ran over.
"Xue'er!"
Snow Empress lowered her head and looked at Ice Empress who had run up to her. A slight ripple finally appeared in her sky-blue eyes.
She raised her hand and gently ruffled Ice Empress's dark green twin tails.
"Bing'er." Snow Empress's voice was clear and cold, but her tone was gentle.
Ice Empress hugged Snow Empress tightly around the waist and nuzzled his head against her chest.
Dai Huabin stood a few steps away, watching this scene.
The two Ferocious Beasts, ranked second and third among the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, were behaving like long-lost sisters.
