"I call the first Soul Skill from the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring Ice Control. It improves my control over the ice attribute, greatly strengthens all my ice-attribute Soul Skills, and reduces their Soul Power consumption by fifty percent."
Huo Yuhao explained the effects of his first Soul Skill.
"Not bad, not bad. That Soul Ring's effects are pretty useful. I'm having a little trouble controlling my ice-attribute power right now, too. I'll have to put in more practice once we get back."
Tang Wulin sounded slightly troubled.
The power within his body had grown enormously in a short time. Even though his Spiritual Power had also increased, that Spiritual Power itself needed to be controlled. The series of explosive increases left him unable to fully control the power within him. Even getting dressed had taken two attempts-he had accidentally torn the first set of clothes apart.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were rather speechless at Tang Wulin's words. They had thought Huo Yuhao's good fortune was already enviable enough, only to realize they had forgotten about this walking cheat.
Huo Yuhao pressed his lips together to hide a smile. Perhaps because he had learned so much, or perhaps because he had received so much help from Tang Wulin, even his gestures were beginning to grow more girlish.
"The second Soul Skill is called Octagonal Ice Condensation Domain. It's a domain derived from the origin power of the octagonal mysterious ice grass. Veins of ice crystals spread throughout it, and cold air pours endlessly from the ground. Within the domain, ice-type Soul Skills are automatically strengthened. The ice crystals on the ground can also erupt into ice spikes over a wide area, slowing and attacking enemies."
"A domain skill. Not bad."
Niu Tian chimed in from the side. Soul Masters with domains always held an advantage in battle. Although the consumption was greater, most domains offered far more than a minor boost. Against Soul Masters of the same level, they could be downright overwhelming.
"That's a really powerful Soul Skill, too."
Tang Wulin sounded envious. He still did not have a domain.
Although his Martial Soul had evolved beyond recognition, it had indeed failed to develop a domain ability. He had no idea why.
"I still don't have a domain ability."
"Maybe one of our Martial Soul Fusion Skills will be a domain skill later? Once we get back, I'll complete my Second Martial Soul as soon as possible. Then we'll be able to use the other two Martial Soul Fusion Skills."
Huo Yuhao softly comforted Tang Wulin, his tone full of embarrassment.
After all, they had tried again back then, but unfortunately, they had been unable to use the Martial Soul Fusion Skills between his Second Martial Soul and Tang Wulin's Soft Bone Rabbit and Clear Sky Hammer.
Ultimately, his current Second Martial Soul was still only half-formed, possessing nothing but the origin power of the ice attribute.
"Then I'll look forward to it."
Tang Wulin smiled and winked at Huo Yuhao.
That look from Tang Wulin utterly charmed Huo Yuhao. His face instantly flushed crimson, and he hurriedly changed the subject, bringing up the Soul Bone Skills of the octagonal mysterious ice grass.
"The two Soul Bone Skills are Eight-Angle Ice Source Condensation and Eight-Angle Omnidirectional Thrust."
"The first is also a support Soul Skill. It can rapidly gather ice origin power, accelerate the formation of ultimate ice, and strengthen ice-attribute Soul Skills. It can also quickly restore Soul Power, repair damage to my body, lower the temperature over a wide area, and slow my opponents' movements."
"The second causes countless ice spikes to erupt out of thin air around me, thrusting in every direction without a single blind spot."
"Of the four Soul Skills, Eight-Angle Omnidirectional Thrust is the only one with particularly strong offensive power. But with support from your other three Soul Skills, even if attacking with ice spikes is rather repetitive, instantly filling the surrounding space with countless incredibly hard ice spikes will be tremendously effective against enemies."
"Master one move, and you can take on the world. That's already enough."
Niu Tian offered his assessment of Huo Yuhao's gains.
Especially since Huo Yuhao also had a second ice-attribute Martial Soul, it had to be said that if the octagonal mysterious ice grass truly became the soul of that Martial Soul, he would be very well suited to the path of an ice-attribute Soul Master.
Those few support Soul Skills alone were enough to lower the temperature of Huo Yuhao's ice to an extraordinary degree, making him a top-tier ultimate ice Soul Master.
"Also, Yuhao, Little Eight used its immortal herb origin power to cleanse your body. Your physical condition has improved again, and your talent should now be about on par with innate full soul power. Your First Soul Ring can also produce the effects of a Soul Ring over eight thousand years old."
Within the Sea of Consciousness, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm added to the account of Huo Yuhao's gains. The octagonal mysterious ice grass had truly sacrificed itself completely. Even if the seed it left behind grew into a new octagonal mysterious ice grass, that new plant would no longer have the slightest connection to the original.
At the same time, he was still grieving over the five clusters of origin power Tang Wulin had taken away. She had only had ten clusters in total.
Innate full soul power...
Did she have innate full soul power now, too?
Huo Yutong froze. This time, it seemed she really had been reborn, remade down to her very bones. It seemed she really could avenge her mother now.
Thank you, octagonal mysterious ice grass.
And thank you, Wulin.
Huo Yutong looked at Tang Wulin, who was happy for her, her eyes brimming with warmth.
"All right, all right. Since Second Brother has already received a sacrifice, everyone should pick an immortal herb that suits them, too."
Huo Yuhao's gaze left Tang Wulin feeling a little strange, so he began calling Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao over to choose immortal herbs suited to them. After all, was that not what they had come here for?
Although the enormous gains the two of them had made had delayed things for a while, they still needed to do what they had come to do.
"Come on, come on. Let me introduce the immortal herbs we have here."
Youyou, the herb traitor, popped out. All she wanted now was to send these people away as soon as possible. They should take their things and get lost.
But Tang San stood behind them, so there was nothing she could do. She could only keep praying silently.
"The singular velvet sky chrysanthemum. Eating it allows energy to circulate through all four limbs and blood to flow through all eight meridians, forging an indestructible body of adamant."
Youyou once again formed a small, fiery-red flower and flew above an enormous purple chrysanthemum as she introduced it.
"An indestructible body of adamant!"
Wang Dong's eyes lit up. She often used her wings in close combat, and she would also be using the Clear Sky Hammer in the future. This one suited her.
"Dong'er, don't eat that. You'd better not actually end up looking like your Second Dad."
Niu Tian warned Wang Dong. What business did a young girl have forging an indestructible body of adamant? As for whether she would really end up looking that way, Niu Tian did not know either.
At the thought of her Second Dad's enormous, bulging muscles, Wang Dong shook her head, inwardly shuddering at the image of herself looking like that.
"The eight-petal immortal orchid has the gentlest medicinal properties. It strengthens your foundation, nourishes your vitality, clears impurities from your body, and can accelerate a Soul Master's cultivation."
Youyou stopped above an eight-petaled orchid. This was the most universally suitable immortal herb; anyone could benefit from it.
"Actually, this one suits Second Brother better. Come to think of it, Second Brother hasn't eaten an immortal herb yet."
Wang Dong rubbed her chin, her eyes shifting as a good idea came to her.
"Absolutely not!!!"
"You've already taken Bingbing away! He can't eat any more!"
Youyou panicked. At this rate, the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well really would be stripped bare.
The crux of it was that they could not truly resist. They were not very powerful to begin with, Divine King Tang San was watching from above, and a divine beast was eyeing them from right in front of them. Their only trump card, the remnant souls of the two great Dragon Kings, had already been pried away before they were ready.
Youyou swayed her body wildly, capable of nothing but impotent fury.
"All right, all right. If you won't give it to him, then you won't."
Wang Dong pursed her lips. Youyou seized the offered way out and continued introducing the next immortal herb.
"This is the Earthgold Dragon Melon, a top-tier earth-attribute immortal herb."
Before you continue
