Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes Martial Soul is mental, and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm provides Spirit Power; these are barely compatible with Necromantic Magic.

However, later, the power of the Ice Empress's origin surged in. The Ultimate Ice and Necromantic Magic should have been incompatible, but Huo Yuhao managed to fuse them together smoothly.

When Electrolux taught Huo Yuhao Necromantic Magic, he seemed to have a thorough understanding of the rules governing the flow of Soul Power in the Douluo Continent, and could even improve upon existing Soul Skill.

How could a remnant soul from another world be so familiar with the Soul Master system of the Douluo Continent?

The only explanation is that after Electrolux fell into the Douluo Continent, his Divine Sense was guided by some kind of force, and his memories or knowledge were tampered with by some being.

And the only ones capable of doing all this without him noticing are the God Realm Enforcer.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but gasp.

She used to think that Electrolux was an omnipotent teacher who could teach Huo Yuhao all sorts of amazing things.

But now, looking at it, it's possible that the knowledge Electrolux possessed was filtered by Tang San.

Tang San only allowed Electrolux to teach Huo Yuhao what he should learn, and completely covered up what he shouldn't learn.

Xiao Xiao found this terrifying. How could someone not even know that the knowledge in their mind had been tampered with, and still think they were imparting knowledge and teaching skills?

Xiao Xiao hugged the cushion tightly to her chest, feeling aggrieved for Electrolux.

[Third point of doubt: Was Electrolux's death inevitable?]

As mentioned before, Electrolux died in the Far North while burning his Divine Sense to suppress the Snow Empress Origin.

This sacrifice was the most heart-wrenching moment in Huo Yuhao's journey of growth.

But looking at it from another angle, as a remnant soul of a Divine-level, did Electrolux really have no other choice?

Electrolux has lived for so many years and possesses countless methods; surely he knows there are safer ways to suppress one's primal power?

He could have taught Huo Yuhao to slowly guide Snow Empress's essence using Necromantic Magic, or used the combined power of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Ice Empress to suppress it.

But he didn't. He chose the most extreme method, burning himself directly to forcibly suppress the Snow Empress's essence.

Why did Electrolux make this choice? Because in his mind, Huo Yuhao's life was more important than his own.

Who instilled this idea in him? It was Tang San.

Through some means, Tang San instilled in Electrolux the subconscious belief that Huo Yuhao was the only hope for the Douluo Continent, and that Electrolux was willing to sacrifice everything to protect Huo Yuhao.

Tang San wanted Electrolux to die, and Electrolux actually did.

Even in his dying moments, he believed he was protecting his apprentice, unaware that his death was One-Ring of a pre-written script.

Seeing this, Wang Dong'er put down her water glass.

Although she didn't like Huo Yuhao, seeing this part about Electrolux made her feel uneasy.

A teacher sacrificing himself to protect his student is a truly noble act.

But if this teacher's sacrifice was pre-planned by someone else, then this greatness is distorted.

Wang Dong'er wondered if, in his final moments, Electrolux knew that his death was to fulfill Tang San's grand plan, he would have regretted it.

Wang Dong'er felt that perhaps Electrolux wouldn't regret it, because his feelings for Huo Yuhao were genuine.

But this kind of genuine affection, which is being manipulated, is even more painful.

[Fourth point of doubt: Why didn't Electrolux's remnant soul completely dissipate?]

After Electrolux burned his Divine Sense, he should have been completely annihilated, leaving nothing behind.

However, Huo Yuhao's Third Martial Soul, the Holy Necromancer, awakened.

This indicates that when Electrolux burned his Divine Sense, a fragment of his remnant soul remained and merged into Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit.

This doesn't make sense. When a Divine-level remnant soul burns itself, it should be completely consumed.

However, Electrolux had a backup plan, passing on the Martial Soul Seed of the Holy Necromancer to Huo Yuhao.

Who helped him plant this seed? It was Tang San.

At the moment when Electrolux was burning, Tang San secretly used his Divine Power to intercept a portion of Electrolux's Divine Sense fragments and integrated these fragments into Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit.

In this way, Huo Yuhao obtained his Third Martial Soul, giving Tang San another bargaining chip in his game.

Tang San didn't waste even the scraps left after Electrolux's death; he made full use of them.

Upon seeing this, Ma Xiaotao suddenly slapped her thigh.

She had previously thought Electrolux's death was tragic, but now she realized that even his remains were used by Tang San.

Ma Xiaotao felt that Tang San was not even human. He not only treated other people's lives as tools, but he also squeezed the remnants of their souls dry after they died.

This method is even more vicious than that of Evil Soul Master.

Ma Xiaotao took a deep breath and suppressed her anger.

She knew that getting angry wouldn't do any good, but she just couldn't swallow her anger.

[Fifth point of doubt: What exactly does the Holy Necromancer Martial Soul mean to Huo Yuhao?]

The Holy Necromancer is a necromancer-type Martial Soul that can summon an army of undead.

This Martial Soul played a significant role in Huo Yuhao's later battles.

However, Necromantic Magic is a taboo in the Douluo Continent, and normal Soul Master would never touch it.

As the Sea God, Tang San governs light and order, and Necromantic Magic is completely incompatible with his Godhood attributes.

Why did Tang San allow Huo Yuhao to possess such a heaven-defying Martial Soul? The reason is simple: Tang San needed a pawn who could disrupt the balance on the battlefield.

Although Shrek and Tang Sect are powerful, they cannot defeat the combined forces of the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire using conventional methods alone.

Huo Yuhao's Holy Necromancer perfectly filled this gap.

Tang San gave Huo Yuhao the Undead Martial Soul so that he could summon an army of undead at crucial moments to shield Shrek and Tang Sect from the most dangerous attacks.

As for the impact of Necromantic Magic on Huo Yuhao personally, Tang San didn't care at all.

Whether Huo Yuhao's body would be corrupted by the aura of the dead, or whether Huo Yuhao mind would be affected by the power of death, were not within Tang San's considerations.

Ning Tian felt a little heavy-hearted upon seeing this.

She felt that Huo Yuhao was like a humanoid weapon stuffed with all sorts of weapons. Tang San crammed him with everything he could use, regardless of whether these things would overwhelm him.

Ning Tian thought that Huo Yuhao was probably able to reach the Divine Realm later on by sheer willpower.

The necromantic energy and Ultimate Ice clashed within his body; anyone else would have exploded and died long ago.

Ning Tian picked up the teacup and found that the tea had long since gone cold.

She didn't refill the water, but simply drank the cold tea, as if trying to suppress the chill in her heart.

Looking at the clues in the Electrolux storyline together, Tang San's plan was incredibly meticulous.

From the moment Electrolux fell, he began to exploit this remnant soul from another world.
