Tang San's Thoughts

Finally, Jiang Bai used his domain and Frost Descent's ability to disrupt the Ice King Bear's senses.

Although a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast already possessed formidable spiritual power, it was still a Soul Beast, and not particularly intelligent.

With the burden gone, those Soul Kings and Soul Emperors naturally left safely.

"Thank you, Senior. Would you like to visit my home?"

Su Tong, who was being held nearby, watched Jiang Bai effortlessly toy with the Ice King Bear in the palm of his hand.

Was this the bearing of a true expert?

Su Tong's eyes sparkled as she looked at Jiang Bai, who was carrying her, her face full of admiration.

"No need. But don't speak carelessly about the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, or you'll risk bringing disaster upon your family."

Looking at the Su Tong in his grasp, Jiang Bai felt that he should at least give her a simple warning. He was worried that she would spread word of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill and then search everywhere for him.

"Uh... yes."

Hearing Jiang Bai say that, Su Tong immediately lowered her head in reply.

Too terrifying. Weren't the two people with a Martial Soul Fusion Skill usually friends? Why was this senior so fierce?

"..."

I should still leave her with something. After all, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill really was useful. It might come in handy someday.

The main issue was that Su Tong's cultivation was currently too low. Even with a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, it would not be very powerful.

Jiang Bai considered it for a moment, then said, "Cultivate diligently. If I come looking for you again and your cultivation satisfies me, I'll give you a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone."

"R-Really?!"

A Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone! It was a treasure that even titled powerhouses would kill for!

Su Tong did not doubt whether this senior truly possessed a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone. A powerhouse of his level would not stoop to lying to a three-ring Soul Elder like her, would he?

Jiang Bai did not answer whether it was true or not. He lowered his head and looked at the Soul Emperor below.

"Remember our agreement."

As Jiang Bai's voice reached her ears, Su Tong felt herself being tossed downward. Su Jianghe caught her perfectly, and when Su Tong looked up, the white figure had already vanished.

"Xiao Tong, are you all right?" Su Jianghe asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, Second Uncle. Let's leave quickly. I need to go back and cultivate!"

Su Tong's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. She had to cultivate diligently! For the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone!

Several days later, the completely transformed Huo Yuhao lay prone in the snow.

Not far from him stood a completely snow-white tiger-type Soul Beast, though it differed from ordinary tiger Soul Beasts.

The tiger Soul Beast had an adorably vacant look in its eyes. It lacked all the domineering majesty of a tiger that looked down on the world, and instead resembled a large white cat that might choke even while eating meat.

"Brother Sky Dream, am I supposed to fight that tiger?"

Huo Yuhao looked at the imposing backlit silhouette of the Snow Tiger ahead. Judging by its appearance and aura, it was definitely a thousand-year Soul Beast, right?

Could he beat it?

Although Huo Yuhao was quite confident in his combat strength now, why was he suddenly supposed to fight a thousand-year Soul Beast? This was way too fast, wasn't it? He was not ready at all!

"Trust me, Yuhao. Go for it."

Tian Meng encouraged Huo Yuhao. As a million-year Ice Silkworm, he naturally knew what that "Snow Tiger" was. The Ice Empress beside him merely gave the Snow Tiger another glance.

It was not even as plump as Tian Meng. It had no appeal whatsoever.

"All right, Brother Sky Dream. I'm going!"

Gritting his teeth, Huo Yuhao grabbed the Soul Tool he had made, activated his Ice Empress Scorpion Martial Soul Possession, and charged forward.

"Roar?!"

When the "Snow Tiger" saw Huo Yuhao, it had originally intended to roar and scare him away. But the instant it sensed the aura of the Ice Empress Scorpion on Huo Yuhao, it froze.

Contrary to his expectations, Huo Yuhao easily dealt with the "Snow Tiger." Yet after its death, it left behind the corpse of a Snow Silkworm.

"Hm?"

Huo Yuhao paused, then immediately understood. No wonder Brother Sky Dream had looked so unconcerned.

"All right, absorb it quickly. This Soul Skill is extremely precious."

Tian Meng urged him. This Simulation Soul Skill was incredibly precious. If not for him, Huo Yuhao would have found it difficult to locate one.

"Thank you, Brother Sky Dream."

Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged and began absorbing the Soul Ring, while the Ice Empress emerged in her Divine Outfit to stand guard.

Now that she had the Divine Outfit, the Ice Empress could reach the strength of a Soul King even when freely separated from his body. She did not even need to use her origin; she only needed to occasionally take a breath of fresh godly power from the Divine Position.

The Ice Empress was now a Soul King with Ultimate Ice combat power!

At this moment, above the heavens.

Tang San watched Huo Yuhao absorb the Soul Ring, his eyes and brows filled with worry.

"Ice God's Seven Trials? A choice made by the Divine Position? Does it want to see whether Huo Yuhao can condense the Ice God's Divine Position? It seems the Ice God really is completely dead."

In Tang San's view, the Ice God's Seven Trials on Huo Yuhao were a choice of the Divine Position, not a choice made by the Ice God.

If it had been the Ice God, he should have directly granted nine trials or eight trials. In any case, it would not have been seven trials.

Moreover, Tang San had sensed that the Asura God's inheritance clearly stated that the Ice God was dead. That line had even been highlighted in red, and the Ice God's Divine Position was nowhere to be found.

But when Tang San thought of the Divine Position on Huo Yuhao, his heart became conflicted again.

If Huo Yuhao had a Divine Position, then Tang San's Asura Godly Thought would not be able to affect him. What if he became disobedient in the future?

Tang San was determined to obtain Huo Yuhao.

He was the child of destiny of the Douluo Continent. The fortune of ten thousand years had gathered upon him, granting him immense blessings. Even Tang San in his youth could not compare.

Should he destroy the Ice God's Divine Trial?

The moment this thought arose, Tang San immediately refuted himself.

No. If Huo Yuhao could use the Ice God's Seven Trials to find the Ice God's Divine Position, then perhaps Tang San could take control of it himself?

Tang San thought to himself that the Ice God was one of the best among First-Level Gods, one of the elemental gods. If Huo Yuhao could obtain the Ice God's Divine Position and belong to him, that would also be a tremendous asset.

The benefits offered by the Ice God were simply too great!

"No. Huo Yuhao must become the inheritor of the Emotion God."

The moment he thought of the Emotion God, Tang San immediately shook his head and extinguished his plan to have Huo Yuhao inherit the Ice God's Divine Position.

Although it would be best for Huo Yuhao to inherit the Ice God's Divine Position now, since it was the choice of the Plane Consciousness, if no one inherited Rong Nianbing's Emotion God's Divine Position, that fellow might casually toss aside his Divine Position and run off. Wouldn't Tang San then lose the combat strength of a First-Level God for nothing?

That fellow was always thinking about running away to travel and such. He might actually do it.

Tang San could not guarantee that the next Emotion God would stand on his side. It would be one thing if they did not, but if they joined the God of Destruction's side, that would be troublesome.

Therefore, Tang San could only make Huo Yuhao accept the Emotion God's Divine Position.

But Tang San did not want to give up the Ice God's Divine Position either. After all, the Ice God's Divine Position was right before him now. Letting it go like this seemed too wasteful.

At this moment, Tang San wanted control over both the Ice God's Divine Position and the Emotion God's Divine Position.

No, he had to secure the Ice God's Divine Position!

The Ice God's Seven Trials—since they were the Ice God's Seven Trials, then once Huo Yuhao completed the seven trials, he should be able to sense the location of the Ice God's Divine Position.

Tang San thought that when the time came, he would descend and grant Huo Yuhao an opportunity, while also explaining that the Ice God's Divine Position had already shattered.

Then Tang San could speak with Huo Yuhao and tell him that he could help restore the Ice God's Divine Position, thereby displaying his compassionate nature.

After that, he would have Rong Nianbing come over and put in a good word, persuading Huo Yuhao to inherit a complete Emotion God's Divine Position.

Then he would have Rong Nianbing give Huo Yuhao some good things, those divine artifacts and all of them. Rong Nianbing did not need so many knives for cooking anyway.

When the time came, between a complete Divine Position with the guidance of the former Emotion God and an incomplete Divine Position, whom would Huo Yuhao choose?

Thinking of this, Tang San curled his lips. What a difficult question.

He felt that as long as Huo Yuhao was normal, he would not choose the Ice God. Then Tang San could naturally take the Ice God's Divine Position from him and search for another child of destiny from another world.

As long as he properly groomed that person, he would gain the assistance of two First-Level Gods in the future!

God of Destruction, just wait for me.

At the thought of this, Tang San could not stop the corners of his mouth from lifting slightly.

Afterward, he would see whether he could use the mark on Wu Tong's side to influence Huo Yuhao with Asura Godly Power.

If he could, he would continue with the plan. If not, he would abandon it and find another method. Huo Yuhao was merely an ordinary person, after all.

In any case, Tang San believed that with his power, Huo Yuhao could never notice anything unusual.

"If the Asura God wants to inject Asura Godly Thought into your body, there must be a medium. And in my view, that medium is most likely a person. You need to be wary of people around you whom you are extremely close to."

"But you do not need to worry. I am very familiar with Asura Godly Power. So long as that person's power enters your body, I will alert you. You must pretend that nothing happened and absolutely cannot reveal anything unusual."

These were the final words the Ice God had left Huo Yuhao, along with some of the Ice God's research into Asura Godly Thought.

Someone close to him...

Jiang Bai appeared in Huo Yuhao's mind first, followed by Wang Dong, then Xiao Xiao.

After that came the faces of Bei Bei and Tang Ya.

Asura God... Tang San...

After calming down outside, Huo Yuhao recalled the Asura God's true name.

So joining the Tang Sect and entering Shrek had all been that person's handiwork?

Huo Yuhao sneered inwardly. So that was how it was. No wonder. No wonder it had all been such a coincidence.

However, Huo Yuhao did not deny the help Bei Bei, his senior brother, and Tang Ya had given him.

Still, he apologized to them in his heart.

I'm sorry, Senior Brother Bei Bei, Teacher Tang Ya. But under these circumstances, I will definitely leave the Tang Sect in the future.

And Shrek...

Huo Yuhao did not feel as close to Shrek. He was familiar with the two people in the Tang Sect, so there was not much more to say.

But he did not accept Shrek all that readily.

Especially after experiencing Ma Xiaotao's accidental injury and failing to be selected as a core disciple.

As Huo Yuhao considered what he should do after returning to Shrek Academy, he walked toward the town on the outskirts of the Frozen Forest.
