Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 271 The "Origin" of the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul

"When I arrived at the far north snowfield, I began to hesitate about whether to go in or not. Elder Xuan had taken me into the far north snowfield before, and I knew how dangerous this place was. Going deep into the snowfield alone was really no different from courting death."

"Then, just as I was hesitating, the sky suddenly darkened! Next, there was lightning and thunder, and even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to stir wildly, which lasted for a whole hour! I was terrified at the time, but for some reason, that kind of inexplicable feeling told me not to leave, so I stayed hidden until the thunder and lightning stopped, and then I cautiously approached."

"Then, I discovered an Ice Jade Scorpion that had just surpassed 100,000 years old but was on the verge of death!"

Elder Mu asked doubtfully, "Given the strength of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, if it can truly cultivate for 100,000 years, the Heavenly Tribulation, though terrifying, should not be enough to kill it, right?"

Huo Yuhao said admiringly, "As expected of Elder Mu, you guessed correctly. If it were the Ice Jade Scorpion in its normal state, a heavenly tribulation of ten thousand years wouldn't pose a threat to it. That's what it told me personally. The reason it couldn't survive was because before its tribulation, it had extremely bad luck and encountered Titan Snow Demon King, one of the three great heavenly kings of the far north. It even interfered with Titan Snow Demon King's feeding, so it was slapped by Titan Snow Demon King and was severely injured!"

At this point, Huo Yuhao sighed, "That's one of the three great kings of the far north! Even after being slapped for no reason, it didn't dare to retaliate. It just fled in a panic. Fortunately, the Titan Snow Demon King didn't pay much attention to it, so it didn't chase after it. After being seriously injured, it dared not stay in the core area of ​​the far north. Unfortunately, the Titan Snow Demon King blocked its way back to its clan. Helpless, it decided to come to the edge of the region to recuperate and then return after it recovered."

"Unfortunately, misfortune never comes singly, and its 100,000-year tribulation just happened to arrive at this time."

"Then why would it give you a spirit ring and a spirit bone on its own initiative?" Elder Mu was even more puzzled.

Huo Yuhao shrugged and said helplessly, "Don't even mention you, I still don't understand! It said that when it was about to die, it happened to encounter a Soul Master like me with an ice-attribute Martial Soul who was also missing a Soul Ring. And the first time it saw me, it felt that I was pleasing to the eye, so instead of wasting the Soul Ring, it decided to give it to me. Moreover, it even helped me condense a piece of my spine. And my Martial Soul only evolved into Ultimate Ice after absorbing its Soul Ring and Soul Bone."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao revealed the "true" colors of his spirit rings: two purple, one black, one red, and one black, for a total of five spirit rings.

Hearing Huo Yuhao's fantastical story, Elder Mu found it hard to believe, but looking at the fourth dazzling blood-red soul ring on Huo Yuhao's body, he had no choice but to believe it.

He had been wondering why Huo Yuhao's Dark Kyurem Martial Soul, even though it was of a high grade, was not a pure ice-attribute Martial Soul. Why did it become the ultimate ice after absorbing just one Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Ring?
It turns out that this Ice Jade Scorpion spirit ring wasn't from an ordinary Ice Jade Scorpion, but from a 100,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion! It even actively attached the spirit ring and spirit bone to Yuhao!
The relationship between spirit beasts and spirit masters is inherently peculiar, but the Ice Jade Scorpion, a spirit beast in general, is rarely known, let alone a 100,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion. Such an outcome could even be due to a mutation in the spirit beast during the process of attaching spirit rings, but who can say for sure? Are we supposed to go to the far north snowfield to find another 100,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion for experiments? Don't be ridiculous!
After a long silence, Elder Mu could only accept this seemingly unbelievable, yet even more unbelievable, fact, and exclaimed, "So that's how it is! I've cultivated my entire life, traversed the continent for over two hundred years, and seen countless Soul Masters and Martial Souls, but I've never seen such a miraculous situation before. No wonder I later made a special trip to the far north and even captured an Ice Jade Scorpion to study, but in the end, I still couldn't figure it out."

"Yuhao, it seems you really are the chosen one! To encounter something like this, your luck is simply... sigh." Recalling Di Qianqiu's words again, Elder Mu's voice carried a hint of bitterness. Huo Yuhao smiled but remained silent.

In truth, he had considered telling Elder Mu that he possessed the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, one of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North. But in the end, he decided to keep this even more astonishing truth hidden. Although he trusted Elder Mu to some extent, could Elder Mu truly remain unmoved by the soul ring and soul bone produced by a legendary super ferocious beast that was nearly 400,000 years old?

The human heart cannot withstand testing!
The original work is just the original work, and some of the plot has already been changed because of his arrival. How could Huo Yuhao dare to entrust his life to the morality of others?
A moment later, Elder Mu's voice rang out again: "There are too many unusual things about you. If I hadn't carefully observed your body and confirmed that you are human, I would have really suspected that you are a soul beast who has been reborn. Everyone has their own opportunities. I cannot fully understand your situation, but I can confirm that your heart is not bad."

"I actually secretly went to Xingluo City to watch this competition. Although your personality is a bit unconventional, the wisdom and strength you displayed in the competition even amazed me. I will keep your secret and will not tell anyone, so you can rest assured. In addition, after you finish this training, I have a gift for you."

Huo Yuhao's heart stirred, but he didn't ask any further questions. He simply thanked Elder Mu respectfully.

"Let's get back to this room. The skulls you see hanging here are the skulls of a soul beast called the Fear Dragon. The Fear Dragon is a sub-dragon of the earth dragon type. Its physical combat strength is not strong, but it is a rare spiritual attribute dragon. After a Fear Dragon dies of natural causes, a portion of its spiritual power will be retained in its skull and will not diminish for a long time."

"Killing the Dread Dragon is not difficult, but obtaining its skull after it dies naturally is extremely difficult. There are a total of 1,001 Dread Dragon skulls in this room, which took the academy nearly 800 years to collect."

"In a moment, I will activate their spiritual aura. Being in it will make you feel immense pressure. The process of spiritual growth is the process of enduring pressure, which will greatly benefit your Sharingan martial soul. I also hope that you can gain more insights during the cultivation process and find the path that is most suitable for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the aura belonging to Elder Mu disappeared, but the mental pressure that had previously weakened instantly intensified.

Seeing that Elder Mu seemed to have accepted his statement, Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief and focused all his attention on his mental space, doing his best to resist the intense mental fluctuations from the outside world that stirred up ripples in his mental sea.
