Sky Dream Ice Silkworm

The commotion at Notting Academy did not affect Huo Yuhao in the least.

As night fell, inside the Blacksmith Shop.

"Senior Brother, this is the Focus-Calming Grass I picked on the back mountain of the academy today. Soak your feet with it to relieve fatigue."

Tang Sanmei carried in a wooden basin to fetch water the moment she stepped into the home.

"Cousin, Cousin! I'll massage your shoulders!"

Xiao Wu joined in on the fun as well, clinging to Huo Yuhao's side like a pendant.

"That's enough."

Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said,

"No need to wait on me tonight. Sanmei, take Xiao Wu back to your room to cultivate. Without my permission, no one is allowed to come within half a step of my room."

"Understood! Senior Brother, rest early."

Tang Sanmei nodded, obediently pulling Xiao Wu out as she closed the door behind them.

The room grew quiet.

Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged on the bed and took a deep breath.

"Innate rank-one Soul Power..."

His eyes slowly closed, and his consciousness sank deep into his Sea of Consciousness.

The Sea of Consciousness was empty.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the Ice Empress, the Snow Empress, and the other Soul Spirits had all turned into dim cocoons of light and fallen into a deep sleep.

Right in the absolute center of the Sea of Consciousness floated a gray rune—this was the power left behind for him by Electrolux, who had burned his divine sense at the very last moment of his self-detonation.

"Teacher, Brother Sky Dream... I won't let you wait too long."

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, a flash of pale-gold light passing through the depths of his pupils.

Even though his body was currently extremely weak and his meridians were blocked like a sewer.

His biggest cheat in this lifetime was still his foundation of residual god-level spiritual power.

"Normal cultivation is too slow. Since the meridians are blocked, then I'll force them open!"

Huo Yuhao formed a strange seal with his hands in front of his chest.

This was a cultivation method he had researched in his previous life by combining his own ideas with other things.

It could rely on spiritual power to forcefully clear the meridians and accelerate the cultivation speed of Innate Soul Power.

"With divine intent as the guide, and the Mysterious Heaven Skill as the foundation, condense... for me!"

Accompanied by a low shout from Huo Yuhao, the massive spiritual power in his mind, mixed with a trace of Soul Power, instantly poured into his blocked meridians.

Pain!

Extremely painful!

This was equivalent to using a thick telephone pole to forcefully expand a narrow alleyway.

If it were anyone else, even Tang San bearing this pain after living a second life would have passed out directly from the agony.

Moreover, this method required maintaining constant clarity of mind; the slightest mishap would result in death by body explosion.

Tearing pain instantly swept through his entire body, and Huo Yuhao's small face turned instantly pale.

But he was a hardcore veteran who had experienced the Ice Empress replacing her bones, the transformation of the Gold of Life, and had even dared to detonate his god position directly!

Huo Yuhao clenched his teeth, the veins on his forehead bulging, and cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes, but he didn't let out a single muffled groan.

When it came to sheer resilience, no one on the Douluo Continent could surpass him.

"Open... for me!"

Under the excavation of his massive spiritual power, the meridians inside Huo Yuhao's body emitted a series of muffled thuds, and they were instantly expanded by many times.

Yet this was not the end.

Leveraging this force, Huo Yuhao guided the trace of necromantic energy left behind by Electrolux, and it began to rotate at his Dantian alongside the Soul Power he had just cultivated using the Mysterious Heaven Skill within his body.

He wanted to rely on his powerful spiritual power and use his rank-one Soul Power to mimic the principle of a soul core, condensing a miniature energy vortex at his Dantian.

As the vortex took shape, the air around the Blacksmith Shop also grew strange.

The free-floating soul power between heaven and earth seemed to be drawn by some kind of pull, turning into wisps of visible white airflow converging toward Huo Yuhao's room.

At the same time, in the living room of the Blacksmith Shop.

Tang Hao lay suffocated on a wooden chair, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Suddenly, he snapped his eyes open, sprang up with a carp leap, and looked toward Huo Yuhao's tightly shut door with a face full of shock and suspicion.

"This... what is going on?"

As a Titled Douluo, Tang Hao possessed extremely sharp perception.

He discovered in astonishment that something within a radius of a hundred meters seemed to be drawn and surging into Huo Yuhao's room.

Tang Hao's brain directly crashed.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

He widened his eyes with an expression as if he had seen a ghost,

"Soul Master cultivation can only rely on one's own meditation to breed soul power within the body! How could anyone possibly plunder the outside world directly!"

Let alone him, even if his grandfather Tang Chen were still alive, he wouldn't be able to do this!

This completely exceeded the common sense of human martial soul cultivation.

Tang Hao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, a layer of cold sweat seeping from his forehead.

"Could it... could this brat really be some supreme monster returned to simplicity and turned reincarnation?"

Inside the room.

Huo Yuhao let out a long breath of foul air, a trace of exhausted yet gratified joy appearing on his pale little face.

"It worked."

Inside his Dantian, although it was merely a pseudo soul core and its suction force wasn't particularly large, it was rotating automatically without fatigue, which was equivalent to him cultivating every single second of the day.

Coupled with his forced widening of his own meridians, his cultivation speed was even more formidable as a result.

In just a single night, Huo Yuhao's Soul Power soared all the way, reaching rank five.

"At this speed, I'll reach rank ten very soon."

Huo Yuhao stretched and prepared to lie down to rest for a bit.

Right at that moment, a weak fluctuation suddenly came from deep within his long-parched Sea of Consciousness.

Immediately following that, a weak and familiar voice rang out in Huo Yuhao's mind.

"Ouch... hurts, hurts, hurts... My back..."

Huo Yuhao's body stiffened abruptly, his eye sockets instantly turning red, and even his breathing grew rapid.

"Brother Sky Dream!"

"Yuhao? You... you're still alive?"

In the Sea of Consciousness, that originally dim cocoon of light slowly split open, and a round, plump ice silkworm phantom drifted out shakily.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm rubbed its non-existent eyes, looked around the empty Sea of Consciousness, and then looked through Huo Yuhao's vision at the crude blacksmith shop room outside.

"Holy shit! What is this situation?"

Brother Sky Dream instantly perked up, jumping up and down inside the Sea of Consciousness,

"Didn't we self-detonate? That was enough power to blow up even a God King! How did Brother not die? And what about Bingbing? Snow Girl? Old man Yi?"

"Everyone is fine, they just consumed too much and fell into a deep sleep."

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, suppressing the agitation in his heart,

"It was Elder Yi who burned his divine sense at the last moment to protect us. Brother Sky Dream, because I forcefully condensed a pseudo soul core just now, my spiritual power surged, which barely woke you up on the outermost periphery."

"You scared Brother to death, you scared Brother to death!"

Brother Sky Dream patted his plump chest and let out a long sigh of relief,

"As long as we're alive, as long as we're alive. As long as we're alive, Brother can just accompany you to recultivate! By the way, Yuhao, where are we now? Were we dragged into the Divine Realm prison by that hypocrite Tang San? That old schemer didn't subject you to brutal interrogation, did he?"
