I Think Sky Dream Ice Silkworm Still Has Its Charm

Huo Yuhao: "..."

Is this damn system's fetish a little weird?

What do you mean, a giant bug isn't out of the question?

Besides, isn't it male?!

And what the hell would I do with control over Sky Dream Ice Silkworm?!

What could I even do with control over him?

Wait, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's mental power was absurdly high.

Fifty percent control would be equivalent to increasing his own mental power hundreds of times over!

If a normal Level 10 Soul Master had 10 points of mental power, then Huo Yuhao would have a whopping 50 points at Level 10!

A fivefold difference!

And Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had a full million points!

Even with only fifty percent control, it was enough to defy the heavens!

After a year of training, Huo Yuhao's mental power was only 100 points at the moment.

At most, he could use it as if it were 200.

But if he claimed this reward, Huo Yuhao's mental power would instantly reach a terrifying 500,000!

Just think how many years of hard cultivation that would save!

Huo Yuhao: I think Sky Dream Ice Silkworm still has its charm!

Huo Yuhao was tempted. He was going for it!

What was a million-year torso bone compared to fifty percent control? It wasn't worth a dime!

Definitely not because Huo Yuhao couldn't kill Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!

As for the other two options, they were practically free. Wasn't this reward just there for the taking?

"Ahem! The perfect blend of wisdom and beauty! The only million-year Soul Beast in the world! The longest-lived record on Douluo Continent! King of the Soul Beasts! Sky Dream Ice Silkworm makes its dazzling debut!"

"Of course, you can call me Brother Sky Dream." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm boasted without a trace of embarrassment.

"What are you trying to do?" Huo Yuhao asked when Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice rang out in his mind.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm emphasized, "I'm a million-year Soul Beast! I've kicked Xiong Jun and punched Di Tian!"

Huo Yuhao calmly nodded. "Oh. And then?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm stubbornly insisted, "I know you probably haven't come to your senses yet. Once you do, you'll definitely be shocked."

Huo Yuhao spread his hands. "Haven't I already come to my senses?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was furious. "Then why didn't you hear what I said?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head innocently. "I did hear you. Didn't I ask what you were trying to do? You just kept boasting about yourself. How's that my fault?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had expected the boy to take an interest in the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, like Di Tian and Xiong Jun. It had planned to brag a little first, then explain what it was when the boy asked, while casually mentioning how incredible those Ferocious Beasts were.

That way, the boy would think it was awesome.

But the fellow acted as if he hadn't heard a word, and only kept asking what it wanted.

If it knew that Huo Yuhao had come here specifically for it, who knew what it would think?

But by then it would be too late. The two of them would probably already have fused.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to beat Huo Yuhao to a pulp. "You know what a Soul Ring is, right?"

"Every time you Soul Masters break through a multiple of ten, you need a Soul Ring. And I! Sky Dream Ice Silkworm! Am going to become your Soul Ring!"

"???" Huo Yuhao struggled to hold back his laughter, putting on a bewildered expression.

Other Soul Beasts wished they could kill Soul Masters on sight. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had actually gone out of its way to offer itself up.

Huo Yuhao still remembered the Titled Douluo it had burst.

Come to think of it, that man had been unlucky. If he'd met Sky Dream Ice Silkworm a few years later, he might really have made it.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm turned serious. "Although I'm the only million-year Soul Beast in the world, my lifespan is nearly over. I can only keep living by becoming your Soul Ring—that is, the Wisdom Soul Ring I came up with!"

"The one and only Wisdom Soul Ring on Douluo Continent!"

"And the one and only million-year Soul Ring on Douluo Continent!"

"Boy, aren't you tempted?"

"Don't just sit there wanting it—act! Hurry up and fuse with me!"

After speaking, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm turned its back to Huo Yuhao, striking the pose of a big shot.

Huo Yuhao said, "Wow, that sounds amazing!"

Suddenly, he changed tack and said seriously, "But a mere million-year Soul Ring isn't worthy of becoming my First Soul Ring!"

"Huh?" When Sky Dream Ice Silkworm heard that, its CPU practically caught fire.

[ Ding! Congratulations, host, you have completed Option Two. The reward (Soul Art) has been issued.]

[The Soul Art is cultivating automatically!]

Feeling power surge through every limb, Huo Yuhao suddenly smiled again. "Look how scared you got! I was just joking. Who wouldn't be tempted by a million-year Soul Ring?"

"Good grief, you really are a comedian. What am I supposed to do with you?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sighed in relief, then turned to look toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest. "All right, all right, time is short. Don't move around. I'm going in now. Don't worry, I'll be gentle."

"Once the two of us get out of the Star Dou Great Forest safely, I'll explain everything to you."

Before Huo Yuhao could answer, it immediately pushed its head forward and pressed it against his forehead.

Seeing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm do that, Huo Yuhao couldn't be bothered to keep up the act.

Everything went smoothly. He had Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's cheat ability in the bag!

He couldn't be bothered to pretend he felt unwell anymore. "Heh heh heh! Brother Sky Dream, don't worry. I'll make sure you eat well and live well from now on."

And, of course, he'd woo Ice Empress—but who would be wooing whom was another matter.

As Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finally began fusing with Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao's tense heart relaxed.

As for Electrolux...

If he came, fine. If not, forget it. He wasn't all that useful anyway.

Even if he did prove useful, it would be later, when Huo Yuhao's mental power was extremely high.

At least for now, that wasn't something Huo Yuhao needed to worry about.

If Electrolux was going to show up, it would be during the time it took for him and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to fuse. If he didn't, there was nothing Huo Yuhao could do about it.

After all, he was only a wisp of divine consciousness, the kind that belonged to a god.

Besides, with the Life Selector as a cheat, Huo Yuhao could easily replace Electrolux. After all, getting rewards from this thing was ridiculously easy.

Of course, some options required the strength to back them up. For example, killing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm or stir-frying Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Without a certain level of strength, there was no way to claim those rewards.

What was more, even without Electrolux, Huo Yuhao wouldn't lose much. In the original story, Electrolux had been reduced to ashes before he could even make use of his powers for certain reasons. One could say that this major cheat had barely been used at all.

As Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's consciousness began fusing with Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness, Huo Yuhao lost control of his body. With a heavy thud, he collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao's body had already returned to normal, so the fall was nothing serious.

The ten golden rings around Sky Dream Ice Silkworm came to life and enveloped Huo Yuhao. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's body then turned into a streak of pearly white light and burrowed into Huo Yuhao's brow.

The fusion of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Huo Yuhao proceeded in an orderly fashion.

[ Ding! Congratulations, host, you have completed Option One. The reward (one ten-thousand-year Mental Attribute Soul Ring) has been issued.]

[Storage Space: one ten-thousand-year Mental Attribute Soul Ring x1]
