Huo Yuhao responded inwardly. Within his Sea of Consciousness, a jade-green scorpion shadow lay quietly coiled.
Its tail was raised high, its sharp stinger radiating chill. The surrounding spiritual power seemed frozen solid, condensing into tiny ice crystals.
It was an Ice Jade Scorpion, and also his second martial soul.
Thinking back to everything that had happened in the Far North, Huo Yuhao still found it somewhat unbelievable.
Brother Sky Dream had originally planned to take him in search of the Ice Empress, but they had searched the Far North for a long time without finding any trace of that powerful soul beast.
Yet on their way back, they encountered a terrifying battle.
That hundred-thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion clashed head-on with a Titan Snow Demon. Ice and snow were blasted into the sky, and even the mountains trembled.
In the end, the Titan Snow Demon fled after being severely injured by the Ice Jade Scorpion, while the Ice Jade Scorpion herself had reached the end of her life.
Brother Sky Dream seized the opportunity and used every possible argument to persuade her to sacrifice herself.
Little Ice's life force had already been extinguished. Even when facing a soul beast like Tian Meng, who had no combat ability, she had no strength left to fight back. In the end, she could only accept the sacrifice.
And because of that, he had gained his second martial soul.
As Huo Yuhao silently sensed the coldness within his body, a shrill alarm suddenly rang out above the academy.
Bzzzz!
The piercing sound instantly drowned out every noise on the training field. Soul tool towers in the distance lit up simultaneously, their crimson warning lights sweeping across the sky.
The students who had been running all stopped in their tracks.
The old woman's expression changed.
