The first Soul Skill of the Second Soul Ring was called Origin Power Devour.
It could forcibly draw the energy of heaven and earth from the surrounding environment and convert it into pure energy for a Spirit Master to absorb or use to instantly recover what they had expended.
Used in battle, it meant an unlimited blue bar.
However, Huo Yuhao's First Martial Soul, which he currently focused on cultivating, was still primarily support-oriented. At first glance, this Soul Skill seemed to be of no use to him.
In truth, that wasn't the case.
After studying the Second Martial Soul and the changes to Huo Yuhao's body while he awakened it, Electrolux told him something.
His body had been transformed by essence blood, and his Second Martial Soul was special. With every level he advanced, he would need an enormous amount of Soul Power.
But in the same way, each level Huo Yuhao gained would increase his strength by far more than it did for an ordinary Spirit Master.
Even though he absorbed the energy of heaven and earth much faster than an ordinary Spirit Master, it was still just a drop in the bucket.
Now, however, with the Origin Power Devour Soul Skill provided by the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuyao could greatly shorten the time it took him to level up.
To be fair, this one Soul Skill alone made absorbing the Second Soul Ring worthwhile.
The Soul Skill Tian Meng had mentioned as useful to Huo Yuhao was the Second Soul Skill—Breath Concealment.
When used, this Soul Skill could not only hide his figure, but also completely erase all traces of his life force, Soul Power fluctuations, and mental fluctuations.
Somehow, Huo Yuhao sensed that even the fortune he couldn't see—the kind that made him a sun in the darkness to God King Tang—could be concealed while he used the Soul Skill.
Combined with the first Soul Skill of the Second Soul Ring, Huo Yuhao could keep Breath Concealment active around the clock and disappear completely from under God King Tang's nose.
Now, even if Huo Yuhao returned to the Dou-II world and stayed there, he wouldn't have to worry in the slightest about God King Tang's giant hand reaching for him.
Who said the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was useless?
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was incredibly useful!
The Third Soul Skill was a group support skill called Heavenly Silkworm Body Protection.
Huo Yuhao could use his mental power to form a Spirit Shield around himself and his allies.
This Spirit Shield could negate water, ice, and fire-based skills—except those involving Ultimate Fire.
Against skills of other attributes, the outcome depended on the difference in Soul Power between the two sides.
If the damage was physical, the shield could still reduce it by 50%.
The number of people the shield could cover, as well as how long it lasted, depended entirely on the user's mental power.
With this skill, if Huo Yuhao were still facing opponents his own age, his current Soul Power and mental power meant he wouldn't even need to attack. He could simply put a shield around himself and wear the other Spirit Masters down until they collapsed from exhaustion.
It was the kind of skill that made even him think, "That's really nasty."
The Fourth Soul Skill wasn't as useful to Huo Yuhao.
It was called Cocoon of Life and could be considered both a healing and defensive skill.
When he used it, a silkworm cocoon would form around the target, wrapping them inside.
Unless the cocoon was broken, nothing outside could attack the person within.
The person inside would slowly recover both Soul Power and vitality.
The cocoon's defensive strength depended on the user's mental power and Soul Power.
You could say Huo Yuhao had everything he wanted here except enhancement-type Soul Skills.
No, that wasn't right. The Spirit Detection and Spirit Sharing from the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's First Soul Ring were no less useful than enhancement-type Soul Skills.
A powerful Titled Douluo might only have nine Soul Skills in their entire life.
And Huo Yuhao, a Soul Grandmaster with only two rings, already had eight.
Since Tian Meng was asleep now, then—
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm didn't seem so useless after all. It really did have something going for it.
In Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm from ten thousand years ago, now fused with him, rolled over and mumbled, "I think I heard someone praising how handsome I am."
Seeing Huo Yuhao finish absorbing the Soul Ring and open his eyes, Gu Yuena asked, "How did it go?"
Huo Yuhao clenched his fist and flashed a bright, innocent smile.
"So this is how powerful a million-year Soul Beast is?"
"It actually helped me raise my Soul Power by seventeen levels!"
Twenty-seventh level—that was Huo Yuhao's current Soul Power Level.
Although the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm from ten thousand years ago had been captured and drained for a time, its origin hadn't suffered much damage.
After its sacrifice, the increase in Soul Power it gave Huo Yuhao was greater than what the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm of ten thousand years later would provide.
And that was despite Huo Yuhao needing far more Soul Power than before.
An ordinary Spirit Master would already be ready to look for a Third Soul Ring.
Gu Yuena nodded.
"Your body can't withstand the million-year Soul Ring of Tian Meng. But you can bear a fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring despite only being a Soul Grandmaster. It seems your bloodline awakening has greatly strengthened your body."
"Your bloodline awakening has only just begun. You'll be able to withstand Soul Rings with even more years behind them in the future."
"Your First Martial Soul has mental, spatial, and temporal attributes. I'll keep an eye out for suitable Soul Beasts for you."
At the mention of a suitable Soul Beast, Huo Yuhao suddenly thought of one.
"Tian Meng—oh, right, that big bug told me that when it entered the Star Dou Great Forest, it sensed a very evil power there. The owner of that power seemed to have both temporal and spatial attributes."
With his angel investor bringing it up first, Huo Yuhao wasn't going to hold back.
If he had to name the Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest best suited to his First Martial Soul, there really was one.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which became the fourth Soul Ring of Buddha Tang's Clear Sky Hammer in the original story.
Because it had an evil attribute, Buddha Tang, pure as driven snow, didn't use this skill often.
Later, when Huo Yuhao read Peerless Tang Sect, he saw the various dirty tricks pulled by the impersonator God King Tang and couldn't help wondering: had the evil attribute of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger somehow reacted with the Asura God's power, causing the Tang San who had seemed fairly normal in the first story to undergo a complete transformation afterward?
As the Co-Lord of Soul Beasts, Gu Yuena naturally knew a great deal about Soul Beasts.
At the three key words Huo Yuhao mentioned, she immediately guessed what he meant.
"I'll keep an eye out for it."
He hadn't expected another Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to appear in the Star Dou Great Forest.
These outliers, which rapidly grew stronger by devouring Soul Beasts, had always been enemies of the entire Soul Beast Clan.
Since Gu Yuena and the others had come to the Douluo Continent, several Dark Demon Evil Tigers had appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest, but Di Tian, Xiong Jun, and the others had killed them all.
They were an endangered species, yet they couldn't be wiped out completely. The only option was to hunt them down as soon as they were discovered.
Huo Yuhao sweetly thanked her. "Thank you, Sister Nana."
Come on, he was just a kid. What was wrong with being sweet when addressing someone?!
Gu Yuena was delighted by the way he called her "Sister Nana," and a smile appeared on her face.
"Let's go. I'll take you back to a human city."
After Huo Yuhao stood up, Gu Yuena picked him up again.
"Once you're back, there's no need to hide your two Soul Rings. Tell your teacher the truth."
The Pope of Spirit Hall knew how much the Soul Beast Clan valued Huo Yuhao. Naturally, he would put more care into cultivating and protecting him.
