Tang San's Thoughts

In the end, Jiang Bai used his domain and Frost Descent's ability to interfere with the Ice King Bear's senses.

Although a Ten Thousand Year soul beast already possessed considerable spiritual power, it was still a soul beast, and its intelligence wasn't very high.

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

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

Su Tong, who had been captured nearby, watched as Jiang Bai effortlessly toyed with the Ice King Bear in the palm of his hand.

Was this the bearing of a true powerhouse?

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 spread word of 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 it would be best to give her a simple warning. He was worried she would tell others about the Martial Soul Fusion Skill and then start looking for him everywhere.

"Uh... yes."

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

How terrifying. Didn't they say the two people with a Martial Soul Fusion Skill were most likely friends? Why was this senior so fierce?

He still had to leave something behind. After all, a Martial Soul Fusion Skill was indeed quite useful, and it might come in handy in the future.

The main issue was that Su Tong's cultivation was too low right now. Even with a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, it wouldn't be very powerful.

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

"R-Really?!"

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

Su Tong didn't doubt whether this senior truly possessed a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone. A powerhouse of his level probably wouldn't bother lying to a three-ringed Soul Elder like her, right?

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

"Remember our agreement."

Jiang Bai's voice reached Su Tong's ears, and then she felt herself being thrown downward. Su Jianghe caught her just in time. When Su Tong looked up, the white figure had already vanished.

"Xiaotong, are you alright?" 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 properly—for the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone!

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

Not far from him was a snow-white tiger-type soul beast, though it differed from ordinary tiger soul beasts.

This tiger soul beast had an adorably vacant look in its eyes. It completely lacked the imposing aura of a tiger surveying the world, and instead resembled a big white cat that might choke even while eating meat.

"Brother Sky Dream, do I have to fight that tiger?"

Huo Yuhao looked at the imposing Snow Tiger silhouetted ahead of him. From its appearance and aura, it was definitely a thousand-year soul beast, wasn't it?

Could he beat it?

Although Huo Yuhao was quite confident in his combat strength now, why was he suddenly going to fight a thousand-year soul beast? Wasn't this too fast? He hadn't even prepared himself yet!

"Trust me, Yuhao. Go on."

Tian Meng encouraged Huo Yuhao. As a million-year Ice Silkworm, he naturally knew what that "Snow Tiger" ahead was. Ice Empress merely gave it an extra glance.

It wasn't even as fat as Tian Meng. It had no appeal at all.

"Alright then, Brother Sky Dream. I'm going!"

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

"Roar?!"

When the "Snow Tiger" saw Huo Yuhao, it initially wanted to roar and scare him away. But the instant it sensed the aura of the Ice Empress Scorpion on Huo Yuhao's body, it froze.

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

"Hm?"

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

"Alright, absorb it quickly. This soul skill is extremely precious."

Tian Meng urged him. This Simulation soul skill was incredibly valuable. 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 Ice Empress emerged in her Divine Outfit to stand guard.

Now that she had the Divine Outfit, Ice Empress could casually separate from his body and possess the strength of a Soul King. She didn't even need to use her origin power. From time to time, she only needed to go to the Divine Position and take a breath of fresh divine power.

The current Ice Empress had the combat power of an Ultimate Ice Soul King!

At this moment, high above the heavens.

Tang San watched Huo Yuhao absorb the Soul Ring, his expression filled with worry.

"Ice God's Seven Trials? A selection 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 selection by the Divine Position, not a selection 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 wouldn't have been seven trials.

Moreover, Tang San had sensed that the inheritance of the Asura God's Divine Position clearly stated that the Ice God was dead. Those words had even been highlighted, and the Ice God's Divine Position had disappeared without a trace.

But when he thought of the Divine Position on Huo Yuhao, Tang San's heart became conflicted once more.

If Huo Yuhao possessed a Divine Position, then Tang San's Asura Godly Thought wouldn't be able to influence him. What if he became disobedient in the future?

Tang San was determined to obtain Huo Yuhao.

This was the child favored by the fate of the Douluo Continent. The fortune of ten thousand years had gathered upon him. His blessings ran deep; even Tang San of the past couldn't compare.

Should I destroy the Ice God's Divine Trial?

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

No. If Huo Yuhao can use the Ice God's Seven Trials to find the Ice God's Divine Position, wouldn't I be able to take control of it?

Tang San thought to himself. The Ice God was one of the outstanding First-Level Gods and one of the elemental gods. If Huo Yuhao could obtain the Ice God's Divine Position and then submit to him, it would be a tremendous source of strength.

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

"No, Huo Yuhao must become the inheritor of the Emotion God's Divine Position."

Thinking of the Emotion God again, Tang San immediately shook his head and extinguished the idea of letting Huo Yuhao inherit the Ice God's Divine Position.

Although Huo Yuhao inheriting the Ice God's Divine Position was currently the best option, since it was the choice of the Plane Consciousness, if no one inherited Rong Nianbing's Emotion God's Divine Position, that fellow might simply toss it aside and run off. Wouldn't Tang San be losing the combat strength of a First-Level God for nothing?

That fellow was always thinking about running away to travel or something. He might really do it.

Tang San couldn't guarantee that the next Emotion God would stand on his side. It would be bad enough if they didn't; 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 also didn't want to give up the Ice God's Divine Position. After all, the Ice God's Divine Position was right before him. Letting it go like this would be far 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, I must secure the Ice God's Divine Position!

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

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 he could communicate with Huo Yuhao and tell him that he could help restore the Ice God's Divine Position, thereby displaying his compassionate heart.

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

Then Rong Nianbing could give Huo Yuhao some good things, all those divine artifacts and such. Rong Nianbing didn't need so many knives for cooking anyway.

At that point, 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. It was so hard to guess.

He believed that as long as Huo Yuhao was normal, he wouldn't choose the Ice God. Then Tang San could naturally take the Ice God's Divine Position from him and find another child favored by the fate of a world.

As long as he trained them well, he would have the aid of two First-Level Gods in the future!

God of Destruction, just wait for me.

At that thought, the corners of Tang San's mouth couldn't help but lift slightly.

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

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

Tang San believed that with his power, Huo Yuhao would never notice anything unusual.

"If the Asura God wants to inject Asura Godly Thought into your body, there must be a medium. In my opinion, that medium is most likely a person. You need to pay attention to those around you whom you're especially close to."

"But you don't need to worry. I'm very familiar with Asura Godly Power. As long as the other party's power enters your body, I'll warn you. You must pretend it doesn't exist and absolutely cannot reveal anything unusual."

These were the final words the Ice God left Huo Yuhao, the Ice God's research into Asura Godly Thought.

Someone close to me...

Jiang Bai was the first person to appear in Huo Yuhao's mind, followed by Wang Dong, then Xiao Xiao.

Next 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 joining Shrek had all been part of his scheme?

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

However, Huo Yuhao didn't 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 given the current situation, I will definitely leave the Tang Sect in the future.

And Shrek as well...

Huo Yuhao didn't feel nearly as close to Shrek. He was familiar with the two people in the Tang Sect, so he had nothing more to say.

But Huo Yuhao couldn't really accept Shrek.

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

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