"Ha! You mean this little one?"
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm raised his head high, looking in confusion at Huo Yutong behind Huo Tian. The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had originally intended to seek out Huo Yutong.
But now the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sensed that not only was Huo Tian's spiritual power stronger, a trace of divine power also emanated from within him. The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt Huo Tian was more suitable for her sacrifice.
Huo Yutong felt a little uncomfortable under the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's stare, her hand tightly clutching Huo Tian's red robe.
"There's no use looking at me. Our attributes aren't compatible. My disciple will definitely become a god someday."
Seeing the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's hesitation, Huo Tian immediately spoke with ironclad conviction, trying to dispel his concerns. Seeing Huo Tian's utterly sincere gaze, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm nodded.
"Little Yutong, go on!"
Huo Tian pulled Huo Yutong out from behind him, and she stepped forward to stand before the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
"Hello! My name is Huo Yutong! Please take good care of me from now on."
Huo Yutong greeted the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm politely. With her master there, she was no longer afraid.
"Little Yutong, call me Sister Tian Meng from now on! I'll definitely raise you into the strongest, strongest Soul Master on the entire continent."
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm raised his chubby little hand and gently stroked Huo Yutong's little face. Sensing her goodwill, Huo Yutong immediately responded.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm lowered his head, aligning his forehead with Huo Yutong's, and began releasing his spiritual energy. White light began glowing between their foreheads.
"Little Yutong, don't be nervous!"
"Mm."
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Huo Yutong were completely enveloped in a mass of light. The energy emanating from it was particularly conspicuous in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Huo Tian released his Soul Power, and the Evil Fire within him instantly erupted. The pressure it exuded blanketed a hundred-meter radius, driving away the Soul Beasts trying to approach.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's enormous body shrank, gradually merging into the space between Huo Yutong's eyebrows. He had not expected her to possess not only powerful spiritual power, but also a strong physique.
Huo Yutong's current cultivation could not accommodate all of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's origin power, but she could accommodate a portion of it, doing a little better than Huo Yuhao in the original story.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's form gradually vanished, turning into specks of light that dispersed into the air. A mass of pure energy merged into Huo Yutong's Sea of Consciousness.
Under the influence of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's energy, Huo Yutong floated in midair, her Martial Soul, the Holy Light Spirit Eyes, radiating an incomparably dazzling holy attribute.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's origin power condensed around Huo Yutong into a purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring bearing golden divine markings.
Just then, dark clouds filled the sky above the Star Dou Great Forest. Lightning flashed and thunder roared as a rift in spacetime appeared, and a mass of gray energy descended from the heavens.
"To think a wisp of this old man's divine consciousness still remains!"
"With sun and moon in my grasp, I pluck the stars; none in this world is my equal!"
Electrolux's voice echoed through the air before he immediately slipped into Huo Yutong's Sea of Consciousness. The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's heart jolted, and he instantly grew furious.
"Who goes there! Who dares fight me for her!"
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm twisted his enormous body and came before Electrolux. Electrolux had fallen completely asleep, floating quietly in the Sea of Consciousness.
"Sister Tian Meng! What's this thing?"
Huo Yutong looked bewilderedly at the gray mass of light that had suddenly appeared in her Sea of Consciousness. Her face wary, she slowly moved closer to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
"Little Yutong, don't be afraid! You've got me, and your master too. This fellow has fallen asleep for now."
"Little Yutong, I need to sleep too! Call me if you need anything."
After comforting Huo Yutong, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately turned into a mass of light and slipped into the depths of the Sea of Consciousness, leaving her standing there in bewilderment.
Electrolux still floated quietly above the Sea of Consciousness. His energy was temporarily exhausted, so he had to fall asleep.
"Little Yutong, your Sea of Consciousness is just one person short of a full mahjong table."
Huo Tian gently held Huo Yutong in his arms. He could not help marveling that Electrolux's entrance was still so magnificently bold.
Now Huo Yutong had obtained all her early-stage cheats. It was time to return to Shrek Academy. Her consciousness returned to her body.
As Huo Yutong opened her eyes, light shone within them. She clumsily extricated herself from Huo Tian's arms.
"Little Yutong, how are the effects of the Soul Skills the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm gave you?"
Huo Tian raised a hand and pinched Huo Yutong's little cheek. Her face was filled with excitement, for her first Soul Ring actually possessed four Soul Skills.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm did not seem to have mentioned that he was a million-year Soul Beast. Huo Yutong thought these were gifts brought by her Martial Soul Evolution.
"The Soul Skills the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm gave me are called Holy Light Detection, Holy Light Judgment, Holy Light Purification, and Holy Light Sharing!"
Huo Yutong immediately released her Martial Soul. A Thousand-Year Soul Ring flashed beneath her feet as she activated Holy Light Detection and Holy Light Sharing together.
Under the effects of these two Soul Skills, Huo Tian could see his surroundings with perfect clarity, keeping track of every movement of all the Soul Beasts.
Huo Tian had not expected Huo Yutong to have two Soul Skills similar to those of the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, but these two evolved Soul Skills were more powerful. The area scanned by the Holy Light Spirit Eyes contained both holy and light attributes, dealing a heavy blow to Evil Soul Masters.
"Little Yutong, these two Soul Skills are pretty good!"
Huo Tian also discovered that Huo Yutong's Soul Skills actually had a detection range of 300 meters. That was a little outrageous. He pressed a hand against her shoulder and began examining her physical condition.
The Soul Power in Huo Yutong's dantian was more substantial and had been further purified. After absorbing the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, her cultivation had actually reached level 18.
Huo Tian marveled that the various heavenly treasures he had fed her over the past year had not gone to waste. Huo Yutong's Soul Power had already fed back into him, bringing his Soul Power to level 79, just one step away from level 80.
"All right, Little Yutong, let's go."
"Mm-hmm! Master."
Huo Yutong nodded silently and took the initiative to hold Huo Tian's large hand. The two figures, one big and one small, disappeared into the bushes.
Not long after Huo Tian and Huo Yutong left, Di Tian arrived, dragon might radiating from his entire body. He frowned, his face displeased.
"One moment of inattention, and this power bank escaped. It even sacrificed itself to a human!"
"Why does that human have divine power? Could he be some god's offspring?"
Di Tian gazed at Huo Tian with his deep eyes, let out a long sigh, and vanished from the spot.
"Master! Has Senior Sister finished obtaining her first Soul Ring?"
Holding a Soul Cannon, Bai Qi hurried excitedly over to Huo Tian and Huo Yutong. Bei Bei and Tang Ya, who had been squatting nearby, immediately rose and came to meet them.
"It's done. Bai Qi, what's got you so excited?"
The five gathered together, nodded to one another, then walked side by side toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Along the way, Bai Qi held the Soul Tool in one hand, truly unable to bear putting it down. While Huo Tian had been away, Bai Qi had used the Soul Tool to kill several Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
Bai Qi found Soul Tools truly useful. He did not even have to think much.
