The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Four Soul Skills

Huo Yuhao and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sensed the sudden change on the horizon almost simultaneously. Looking at the little black sphere, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said angrily,

"What crawled out of the woodwork this time? Trying to steal my host? It must have a death wish!"

Huo Yuhao hurriedly spoke to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm within his Sea of Consciousness.

"Don't fight him. He probably means no harm. I can feel it—if he wanted to ruin our plans, he could do it with a wave of his hand. Just let him merge with us. We probably won't lose out."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hesitated for a moment, but ultimately stopped directing his spiritual power against the little black sphere and focused on bundling up and sealing his spiritual power instead.

After all, unlike his counterpart in the original story, Huo Yuhao did not have a purely spiritual martial soul, so the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had far more spiritual power to bundle up than in the original.

When eleven suns appeared within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's form appeared there as well.

Appearing alongside him was Electrolux's currently dormant soul fragment—the little black sphere.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm studied the black sphere for a long while before scratching his head and glancing sideways at Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, I keep feeling there's something off about this little black sphere. You should be extra careful."

Huo Yuhao nodded. During the sacrifice just now, he and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had also shared a small portion of their memories.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had learned of his memories since arriving on the Douluo Continent, but knew nothing about his previous life or his transmigration.

Naturally, he had also learned Huo Yuhao's name. After completing the fusion and exchanging memories, the human and the silkworm had instead become like inseparable friends.

"All right, try out the soul skills I gave you," the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm told Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao said to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm,

"Tian Meng, I want you to change one of the soul skills now. Can you still do that?"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm patted his chest and told Huo Yuhao, "Don't worry. I've already put together that Titled Douluo's memories from before and yours, and I understand how you human Soul Masters think."

"I've already given you our race's divine skill, Simulation. With it, you can naturally change the color of your soul ring to whatever suits you."

Huo Yuhao nodded, while the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm grumbled,

"You humans really have no sense. You only judge a soul ring's strength by its color, abandoning the root to chase the branches."

Huo Yuhao gave a wry laugh, then poked the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's head.

"Apart from a one-in-ten-thousand exception like you, judging a soul ring's age by its color is accurate in the vast majority of cases."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm pursed his lips and said nothing more, simply kicking Huo Yuhao out of his Sea of Consciousness. Huo Yuhao looked helplessly at his hands, then began testing the soul skills the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had bestowed upon him.

As a million-year soul ring, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had given him four soul skills, just as in the original story.

The first was a fusion of the original Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sharing and Spiritual Detection, allowing Huo Yuhao to truly experience what a god's-eye view felt like.

With this soul skill active, every blade of grass and every tree around him seemed clearly visible, presented in slow motion within his mind.

Moreover, because everything appeared directly in Huo Yuhao's mind, he could bypass his eyes, understand the situation before him directly through his brain, and react.

It was essentially cutting out an information relay station, making the process even more efficient.

The second soul skill was the Simulation the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had mentioned. It could not only imitate his appearance, but also alter his soul ring's color and even mimic a soul beast's aura, while suppressing others' ability to sense him to the greatest possible extent.

For example, if Huo Yuhao disguised himself as a tree, ordinary birds would be unable to notice that a person was standing there. Even if they landed on his head, they still would not realize they had landed on a person rather than a branch.

He simply did not know how far this sensory deception could go. If it could completely fool every sense, it would be quite terrifying.

In Huo Yuhao's opinion, the third soul skill was the most terrifying of the four. He named it Soul Interference, as it could influence a target's judgment on the level of the soul.

It could also be described as an ability akin to altering cognition. For instance, making a wolf-type soul beast believe it was a herbivore was the experiment Huo Yuhao used to test this soul skill's effects.

He watched as the wolf truly behaved like a sheep, taking great mouthfuls of grass and approaching the sheep with easy familiarity.

Meanwhile, under Huo Yuhao's interference, the sheep also believed that the wolf before them was one of their companions.

Huo Yuhao could not help blinking. The ability to alter cognition was undoubtedly a dimensional strike against the people of the Douluo Continent, who were still fighting hand to hand almost like primitive humans.

According to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's explanation, the speed at which this soul skill altered cognition depended on his spiritual power.

In other words, the further he progressed, the more terrifying this soul skill would become, and it was exceptionally effective against groups.

In the future, he might even be able to use this ability to instantly turn an entire Soul Engineer regiment against its own side, making them direct their guns straight at their allies.

The fourth soul skill seemed rather unremarkable by comparison. It simply projected his spiritual power into parts of his body to strengthen their striking power.

Huo Yuhao could not help fiddling with the husk the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had left behind, saying as he did so,

"Tian Meng, don't you think it's a shame? If you'd pulled your weight a little more and left behind some extra energy, you might have produced a soul bone and given me even more soul skills."

Huo Yuhao's words made the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm bristle and glare. He immediately rolled his eyes and told Huo Yuhao,

"Now you're getting a little insatiable. You already have seven soul skills as a Soul Ancestor. That alone turns the entire human Soul Master world's understanding on its head, and you're still not satisfied?"

Huo Yuhao smiled, stood up, and put the husk into his ring. Then he clapped his hands and said to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm,

"I was only joking. Come on, I'll take you to see the world of human Soul Masters."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm nodded, then told Huo Yuhao, "Don't think this is where my abilities end, either. Once we've been fused for a little longer and I can fully stabilize the power sealed inside you, I can help you obtain a second martial soul."

Huo Yuhao nodded, then curled his hand around empty air and told the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm,

"Then you'd better think carefully about which soul beast you'll help me obtain as my second martial soul. Given my current situation, my first martial soul can't coexist with an ordinary soul beast."
