Reforming the Body, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm

In a strange space, soul power surged frantically toward a single point, condensing into a golden cocoon of light.

A moment later, the cocoon shattered, and Ye Guchen crawled out, his body stark naked.

His face was pale, and his body trembled slightly.

He had died again!

Every time he died, it felt as if his body were being torn apart alive.

That kind of pain did not diminish in the slightest just because he was reborn.

However, after dying a few more times, one simply gets used to it!

He sensed his soul power, and sure enough, it had dropped from level 49 to level 48.

"Damn it, another level down."

Ye Guchen cursed while putting on his clothes.

"It's a good thing that as long as both bodies don't die at the same time, I can reshape my body within this bead martial soul space."

He took a deep breath, suppressed the fear of death, and returned to Gengjin City.

The auction house before him had already turned into a ruin.

Ye Guchen looked at the ruins below, his eyes not showing a single ripple.

"Fourteen years," he murmured.

Fourteen years ago, he transmigrated. During the journey, a mysterious bead shattered his soul into two parts.

One part landed in Dou I, and the other in Dou II.

He transmigrated into two different bodies, yet they shared the same consciousness and memories.

When they awakened their martial souls, both bodies awakened Twin Martial Souls. And that bead became the second martial soul shared by both bodies.

It contained a space. It was precisely this space that allowed him to transport supplies from Dou I to sell in Dou II.

The unique martial soul in Dou I was the Shark Tooth Sword, which also came with a set of Zongheng Sword Technique.

The unique martial soul in Dou II was the Contract Grimoire.

"Such a big commotion will definitely attract others." Ye Guchen glanced at the ruins and turned to leave.

"It seems I need to do the same as in Dou II; it would be best to find a faction for long-term cooperation, otherwise, this kind of trouble will be endless."

"Martial Soul Hall is definitely out; I don't want to face that crazy woman."

He cast his gaze toward the direction of Heaven Dou Imperial City.

"Perhaps, she is a good choice..."

Dou II Timeline

Shrek Academy, by the shore of Sea God Lake.

Ye Guchen was enjoying the evening breeze when a red figure quietly approached from behind.

He naturally sensed her, but he pretended to be oblivious.

Ma Xiaotao crept up behind him and covered his eyes with her hands.

"Guess who I am?"

Instantly, Ye Guchen felt a softness against his back.

"Sister Xiaotao."

Ma Xiaotao jumped directly in front of him and pouted: "Boring, you guess it every time."

"You hadn't even gotten close yet, and a wave of heat hit me first. It would be strange if I couldn't guess."

Ma Xiaotao leaned on his shoulder and hummed twice: "Can't you just pretend you don't know?"

Ye Guchen smiled and didn't respond.

The two were silent for a while, then Ma Xiaotao suddenly spoke: "By the way, your sister came to see me a few days ago."

"Sister Guyi?" Ye Guchen was stunned, "What did she say?"

"She told me to keep an eye on your cultivation and not to slack off." Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes, "She also said you've been lax lately, stuck for three months without breaking through to level fifty. Those old monsters in the inner courtyard are all eyeing your pet beasts."

She paused, her tone turning somewhat serious: "In all of history, you are the only one with a contract soul beast that can grow."

Ye Guchen gave a wry smile.

He truly had the capital to be proud.

When he awakened his martial soul, he had Innate Full Soul Power and the martial soul Contract Grimoire.

Three years ago, at eleven, he followed Ye Guyi to join Shrek Academy.

At twelve, he broke through to level thirty-five.

He possessed three contract pet beasts, each more outrageous than the last.

The first pet was an Ice Jade Scorpion, which at the time had already grown to the six-thousand-year level and could even help Ma Xiaotao suppress her evil fire.

The two grew closer because of this.

"Sister Ye Guyi also said," Ma Xiaotao's voice suddenly dropped half an octave, "that when her parents picked you up from the side of the road back then, you were only this big." She gestured with her hand, "You were as skinny as a monkey; she didn't even think you'd survive."

Ye Guchen fell silent for a moment.

Those were the two most difficult days of his life in the Dou II timeline.

After transmigrating, his soul had split, and both bodies had to start from zero.

This body in Dou II was picked up by Ye Guyi's parents, but the situation for the body in Dou I was much harder, forcing him to struggle for survival alone in a small village.

"So," he said softly, "Sister Ye Guyi is my real sister. She will be for this entire life."

Ma Xiaotao glanced at him without replying, simply leaning in a little closer.

The two remained silent for a while.

"Sister Xiaotao, I need to go out tomorrow for about ten days. Don't worry, I will be back before your next evil fire outbreak."

Ma Xiaotao didn't ask where he was going, just gave a hum of acknowledgment.

--She never pried into his affairs. But he knew she kept them in her heart.

"It's just the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest; there won't be any danger."

Ma Xiaotao raised her head, reverting to her fiery senior sister persona, and slapped away the hand he had been using to pat her head.

"Little brother, is the head of your senior sister something you can just touch!?"

Ye Guchen smiled and withdrew his hand, placing it on her waist instead.

The next day, at the gates of Shrek Academy.

Ye Guchen watched Beibei and Tang Ya bickering as they walked toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

He knew the plot of the Dou II timeline had begun.

In the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest, Ye Guchen kept his aura concealed, following the pair to this location.

"It should be about time; the starting point where Huo Yuhao gets his cheat!"

There was no other reason, for within Ye Guchen's mental coverage, a ten-year Wind Baboon was currently raising its fists, showing off its might toward a squirrel.

Ye Guchen had no intention of meeting the two just yet, continuing to hide his aura as he approached the Wind Baboon.

"According to the original work, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm has already escaped by now and is somewhere in this vicinity."

Ye Guchen looked at the Wind Baboon, which was too terrified to move by his aura.

Ye Guchen decided to use the mental attack ability of his fourth pet to kill it, thinking this might draw the creature out.

Ye Guchen's fourth pet came from the Evil Demon Forest, a ten-thousand-year Evil Eye Tyrant.

Upon breaking through to the ten-thousand-year level, it evolved into an Evil Eye Sovereign, its mental power significantly purified, while also gaining control over a sliver of the power of time!

As the holder of the Contract Grimoire, Ye Guchen could utilize eighty percent of his pet's abilities!

Accompanied by a powerful mental strike shot from Ye Guchen's eyes, it instantly pierced through the Wind Baboon's mental sea.

The intense mental fluctuations immediately caught the attention of an impossibly large ice silkworm beneath the ground.

Suddenly, Ye Guchen felt a powerful mental force sweep over him.

"It worked!"

"A good seedling! Truly a great seedling!"

A voice filled with excitement rang directly in his mind.

The voice carried an indescribable joy, "It's a pity Brother can't cry, otherwise I would be streaming with tears right now!"

Before the words had even faded, a plump white worm appeared abruptly before his eyes.

It was a soul beast resembling a silkworm baby, its entire body as white as jade, about a foot long, with ten ancient golden patterns evenly distributed across its body.

It hovered in mid-air, its round, chubby body swaying slightly, a pair of beady eyes curiously sizing up Ye Guchen.

The tyrannical mental force from just a moment ago had indeed emanated from this harmless-looking little fellow.

Just as Ye Guchen locked eyes with those beady pupils, a series of roars erupted from the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The sound swept over with savage soul power fluctuations, causing the surrounding soul beasts to tremble in fear.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's round body gave a violent jolt, its beady eyes instantly widening, and it cried out urgently:

"Oh no! They discovered I'm gone!"

"No time to explain, we'll talk later!"

It then transformed into a streak of light, diving straight into the center of Ye Guchen's brow.
