After thinking for a while and failing to reach a conclusion, Huo Yuhao stopped for the time being, intending to find a chance to probe it later.

They were all Spirit Pagoda personnel. Sooner or later, they would meet.

Seeing Huo Yuhao draw back his thoughts and begin cultivating, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spoke up.

"Yuhao, can we discuss this again? Brother really can't provide you with another Soul Ring. You've wrung all of Brother's soul skills dry. The Second Soul Ring was something we fiddled around with out of boredom over ten thousand years, and the Third Soul Ring really doesn't have any suitable soul skill! You can't expect me to give you Spiritual Shock again, can you?"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had no idea what Huo Yuhao was thinking. He actually wanted him to produce a few more Soul Rings. Was that something he could do? He was just a weakling. He didn't have that soul skill, nor did he have that ability, all right?

You should get the Evil Emperor to do it! That guy was the true big shot among spiritual Soul Beasts. He absolutely could!

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao fell into thought and did not answer right away.

A Hundred Year Soul Spirit could provide two Soul Rings, a thousand-year one could provide three, and a Fierce Beast Soul Spirit could even provide Six Rings.

In his view, most of the Soul Spirits on him had extremely high cultivation ages, so rather than absorbing other Ten Thousand Year Soul Spirits, why not develop the potential of the Soul Spirits he already had?

For a million-year Soul Spirit like Tian Meng to provide only one Soul Ring, even if that Soul Ring had four soul skills, still seemed like a pity.

It would be better to make Tian Meng work a little harder and provide a few more Soul Rings. Even if each Soul Ring only had one million-year soul skill, it would still be worth it.

Mm, Huo Yuhao's demands were not high. Going by the fact that a Fierce Beast Soul Spirit could provide six soul skills, he only needed Tian Meng to provide two more Soul Rings.

This was also why he had directly joined the Spirit Pagoda. With the Spirit Pagoda's ten thousand years of research materials and data on Soul Spirits, combined with his and Old Yi's research on Soul Spirits, getting an existing Soul Spirit to provide a few more Soul Rings was not difficult.

However, regarding Tian Meng's soul skills, he had a bold idea.

"Yuhao, just say it directly. What kind of soul skill do you want?" The Ice Empress glanced at the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm floating limply in the Spiritual Sea, looking as if he had already been wrung dry, then shook her head. "You can't count on him."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and took out a book. "These are records about Self Martial Soul Fusion Techniques. Over the past ten thousand years, several Twin Martial Souls soul masters have been able to complete Martial Soul Fusion Techniques on their own."

"What?" The Ice Empress froze, then said in surprise, "Martial Soul Fusion Techniques can even be used by one person alone? Then what did they enhance?"

"If I had to make a comparison, it would be using two Martial Souls to combine into a stronger Martial Soul. The power of the soul skills used would naturally increase as well."

This was Huo Yuhao's own understanding of Self Martial Soul Fusion Techniques. After all, when multiple people used a Martial Soul Fusion Technique, aside from their Martial Souls fusing, there was also the boost of other people's Soul Power and Spiritual Power. But a Self Martial Soul Fusion Technique still used only one person's strength. What truly fused and grew stronger was only the Martial Soul itself.

A certain salted fish from Douluo 4 was an exception. That guy also had the support of a divine seat...

"This truly leaves this empress in disbelief..."

The Ice Empress was speechless for a long time.

The longer you lived, the more you saw. Twin Martial Souls could even perform Martial Soul Fusion Techniques on their own now. The speed at which soul masters were evolving was far too fast. Would there come a day in the future when humans could produce their own Soul Rings?

Fortunately, she had chosen Yuhao early on as an investment. If not for the Soul Spirit Contract, Soul Beasts would probably be extinct by now.

After a long silence, the Ice Empress frowned and said, "In other words, you want to complete a Self Martial Soul Fusion Technique?"

"I think it's possible."

Huo Yuhao stopped cultivating and began explaining softly, making even Tian Meng stop lying flat and listen seriously.

He simply felt that he could not help, but since Yuhao already seemed to have an idea, he was willing to believe him. This was the trust formed over ten thousand years.

"Ice Empress, Brother Sky Dream, you still remember how my second Martial Soul came about, right?"

"Tian Meng added a Martial Soul slot for you, and then it fully took shape after absorbing me..."

At this point, the Ice Empress paused and exchanged a glance with Tian Meng, who had also realized it, surprise and doubt rising in her heart.

Why had they never thought of this before?

"Looks like you've already realized it. A Martial Soul Fusion Technique requires compatibility between Martial Souls. The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion and Spirit Eyes Martial Soul are naturally worlds apart, so they can hardly be called compatible. But the former was originally acquired later because of Brother Sky Dream, and Brother Sky Dream was also the provider of the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul's Soul Ring. These two Martial Souls have an innate connection!"

Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered. "And because of that, I believe these two Martial Souls have the possibility of using a Martial Soul Fusion Technique."

The Ice Empress said, "So you want to achieve a Martial Soul Fusion Technique through the Soul Ring Tian Meng provides?"

"I need a medium. After all, the second Martial Soul slot was provided by Brother Sky Dream. Only his Soul Ring can link the two Martial Souls together. After that, I'll still need to grasp the various key points of Martial Soul fusion myself."

Huo Yuhao nodded.

Since he had a chance to cultivate anew and start everything over from scratch, there was nothing wrong with making some attempts he had never made in the past. Naturally, the deeper his foundation, the better.

The Ice Empress murmured, "No wonder you temporarily stopped at Level 30..."

With two Soul Bones, the Soul Ring she had provided, and the Spirit Pagoda's resources, Huo Yuhao could originally have progressed faster and raised his Soul Power further, yet he had lingered at Level 30 for a period of time. She had not understood before, but now she finally did.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm rose from his lying-flat posture and said firmly, "All right, I can do it. What do we do?"

"Are you really okay?" The Ice Empress looked at Tian Meng's expression, as if he were ready to march to his death, and pursed her lips. "This isn't that easy. Yuhao never said this work has to be completed with the Third Soul Ring. You can provide the Soul Ring later."

Tian Meng's eyes widened, and he let out a silly laugh. "Bing Bing, are you worried about me? Don't worry, I'll be fine. Even if I die, I'll help Yuhao complete the Self Martial Soul Fusion Technique!"

Huo Yuhao: There's really no need. And it's been ten thousand years already. Stop simping, Brother Sky Dream...

Watching the two interact, Huo Yuhao's gaze turned strange.

After ten thousand years had passed, he understood less and less how Tian Meng and the Ice Empress got along.

The Ice Empress seemed to have passively mastered the method of handling Brother Sky Dream, but Tian Meng also seemed to enjoy it, suffering and happy at the same time...

Your circle is too messy. I don't get it. I don't get it.

At the same time, the little ice silkworm staying in the corner of the Spiritual Sea looked at Heavenly Dream Elder Brother's performance and was heartbroken.

Ancestor, how did you end up like this? You're the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North, a Million Year Soul Beast! You have to stand tall!

After the Spiritual Sea was thrown into chaos for a while, everyone calmed down and began discussing the design concept for the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

"Brother Sky Dream, can we solidify the ability that provided a second martial soul back then into the Spiritual Eye's Third Soul Skill?"

"Mm?!"

Huo Yuhao's very first question put Tian Meng in a difficult spot.

"Yuhao, that was a one-time ability I gained after becoming a Million Year Soul Beast. I never considered its principles, and I've already used it. I'm afraid there's no way to solidify it into a soul skill."

"Soul beasts only have a shallow understanding of their Innate Soul Skills at first."

Huo Yuhao said gently, "We don't need to know its principles. Even if it was a one-time ability, it was still an ability that truly belonged to you. Something that belongs to you—no one can take it away! That ability must be engraved in your soul. As long as you can recall it, I can use the contract to transform it into a soul skill!"

Hearing this, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sank into his memories.

How had he given Huo Yuhao a second martial soul? Hurry and remember—the feeling at that time, the sensation at that time, and the ability that belonged to him...

Threads of golden radiance began to coil around Huo Yuhao, trying to condense into the shape of a soul ring.

Huo Yuhao did not let Sky Dream Ice Silkworm fight alone. He directly used Spiritual Sharing to connect their minds, recalling the feeling of the Ice Empress merging into his body in the past.

To Huo Yuhao, what had truly changed his aptitude was Tian Meng's ability to grant others a second martial soul!

The day he absorbed the Ice Empress, the pain of his body being torn apart, and the joy of a martial soul seeming to grow out from within him—he would never forget it...

The Soul Spirit Contract they had constructed ultimately caused their memories to intersect, and a transparent White-Gold Soul Ring gradually rose outside Huo Yuhao's body.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said, "Yuhao, it won't work. I no longer have my original foundation. My energy isn't enough to construct the soul ring for this soul skill..."

Uh, nine years old and Level 30—is there anyone who thinks that's too fast? Huo Yuhao has a Soul Bone. There aren't many Soul Bones in Douluo 3, so this is his advantage.
