Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon, I am the Lord of Soul Beasts

Chapter 137

"Meng Hongchen, I appoint you as the commander of the imperial guards, grant you golden armor and silver spear, and let you take charge of the imperial guards to protect my safety!"

Meng Hongchen responded calmly and steadily: "I obey your orders and swear to protect the emperor until my death!"

After the reward was given, Xu Tianran nodded slightly and looked at these pillars of the empire with satisfaction. He knew very well that it was these talents that made the Sun Moon Empire stand firm and become increasingly powerful. Now, they will work with him to meet the challenges of the future.

"My fellow ministers." Xu Tianran's voice sounded again, "Today's rewards are just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go in the future. I hope you will continue to work hard and contribute more to the empire. Only in this way can our empire remain invincible in this chaotic world!"

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long, long live the emperor!" The voices of officials shouting in unison rang out again in the hall, and the sound shook the whole area, as if it would penetrate this magnificent palace and spread to every corner of the Sun and Moon Empire.

As the night deepened, the coronation ceremony gradually drew to a close in a solemn atmosphere. At this time, the capital of Ming was still brightly lit, as if to herald the prosperity and prosperity that the empire was about to usher in.

After returning from the Sun Moon Empire, Huo Yuhao chose to go into seclusion. For the sake of peace and quiet, he chose to go into seclusion in a separate secret room deep in the Tang Sect's Soul Guidance Hall's underground base.

Here, he will not be affected by any outside influences and will practice hard in this pure and quiet place.

This time he really put himself in a dead end, and he would not leave until he completed his training goal. His goal was simple, to connect the meridians in his legs and completely integrate the ultimate ice and earth energy that he had absorbed from the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire into his body.

He has been in seclusion for half a month. During this period, his heart has gradually calmed down. Although the deep longing can never be hidden, he has gradually regained the feeling of cultivation when he first entered Shrek Academy.

This feeling cannot be described in words. During the practice, he worked hard to improve himself. At the same time, he also tried to integrate his mental power, soul power, extreme ice attribute, spiritual eye attribute, and even the undead magic taught to him by the dead soul god, the undead calamity Alex.

In recent years, his strength has been improving rapidly. His twin martial souls have given him unique talents, and the physical disability during this period has not been entirely bad for him. It has made him fully realize that talent is not everything.

Now, he has begun to accomplish some feats that are difficult for Titled Douluo to accomplish. He is constantly integrating the abilities he already possesses and optimizing them as much as possible.

The strength of his mental power gave him such capital. With the help of the purification, his absorption of the ultimate ice world energy was also increasing faster and faster. The speed of his soul power improvement also began to increase continuously.

It is extremely difficult to cultivate the ultimate martial soul before the seventh ring. However, Huo Yuhao has improved his soul power by five levels from Qiankun Questioning Valley. In addition, he has continuously absorbed the ultimate icy energy of heaven and earth, which has made the process easier.

Recently, he even felt that his soul power seemed to have reached a bottleneck. His soul power was still increasing, but the total amount did not seem to increase. The soul power absorbed by the Ultimate Ice Heaven and Earth Force seemed to be hidden in his limbs and bones, but could not be completely integrated with his own soul power.

At the beginning, Huo Yuhao was still a little worried, but after a while he realized that he had really reached a bottleneck, and this bottleneck was actually the bottleneck of level 60.

Even he himself couldn't believe it, he had reached level 60 so quickly.

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, feeling both excited and nervous. Level 60 was a huge threshold for any spirit master, and for a spirit master like him with twin spirits, it was a qualitative leap. However, he also knew that this breakthrough was by no means easy, and if he was not careful, it might bring hidden dangers to his future development.

**“I must keep my mind steady and not rush for quick success.”** Huo Yuhao secretly warned himself in his heart.

Recalling his past training experiences, Huo Yuhao realized that despite his extraordinary talent, what really brought him to where he is today was not only his talent, but also his hard work and perseverance. As the Tang Sect's predecessors said, talent is important, but the real strong ones grow up through countless trials and tribulations.

He readjusted his breathing, tried to restore his state of mind to a calm state, and continued to consolidate his newly broken cultivation. At this time, he was no longer in a hurry to achieve success, but took steady steps, consolidating every bit of soul power improvement step by step.

In this quiet chamber, time seemed to have stopped, and the disturbances of the outside world had long been forgotten. Huo Yuhao was completely immersed in his own practice, and his spiritual power continued to penetrate into every meridian and every cell, as if he wanted to merge himself with the world.

At the same time, he was also constantly feeling his connection with the Ultimate Ice. The cold energy flowing through his body was no longer as difficult to control as before, but became much more docile, as if it had become a part of his body.

**“Ultimate ice, this is not only a kind of power, but also a state of mind.”** Huo Yuhao murmured to himself.

His consciousness seemed to be floating in an endless world of ice and snow. All around him was white, and there was only endless coldness and silence between heaven and earth. In this silent world, his mind became clearer and clearer, and the origin of the ultimate ice seemed to become one with him.

After an unknown amount of time, Huo Yuhao's body trembled slightly, and he suddenly felt the soul power in his body, which had been calm for a long time, begin to surge again, like a torrent hitting his meridians. At the same time, the external heaven and earth energy also began to flow into his body frantically, interweaving with his extreme ice, as if to completely freeze his body.

However, Huo Yuhao did not feel the slightest bit of coldness. On the contrary, he only felt a sense of warmth. Huo Yuhao's mind gradually calmed down, and the soul power in his body slowly operated under his control. He began to focus on gradually guiding the extreme icy heaven and earth elemental power that could not be integrated with his soul power into his limbs and bones, so that it could be completely integrated into his body. Each guidance was a huge test of his mental and soul power, but Huo Yuhao did not retreat at all. He knew that this was the last level before he broke through level 60. Only by completely absorbing these heaven and earth elemental powers could he ensure a smooth breakthrough.

As time went by, a faint ice-blue light gradually appeared on Huo Yuhao's body. It was the manifestation of the power of extreme ice flowing through his body and gradually merging with his body. At this moment, he felt as if his body had turned into a towering iceberg, and he was the core of the iceberg, cold and powerful.

**"Ice and soul merge, and the mind is connected."** Huo Yuhao silently recited the mental formula that Master Xuan had taught him, and tried to synchronize his mental power with his soul power to achieve the most perfect balance between the two. This process was extremely difficult, and each fusion was accompanied by a strong tingling sensation, which was the impact of the deep fusion of the power of the ultimate ice in his body. However, all this was within Huo Yuhao's expectations. As he expected, only through this painful tempering could he truly master the true meaning of the ultimate ice.

Gradually, the stinging sensation began to weaken, replaced by a feeling of comfort he had never experienced before. The powerful force of heaven and earth finally completely merged into his body, and his soul power became purer and more refined. Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that his body was stronger than before, and even every pore was emitting a cold and pure breath. This feeling was like the fusion of ice and fire, which brought him endless strength and confidence.

**"The ultimate ice has finally completely merged into my body."** Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes, and the ice-blue light flickered in his eyes. He knew that he had taken the most difficult step, and the next step was to prepare to break through level 60 and condense the sixth soul ring.

However, Huo Yuhao knew very well that it would not be easy for him to find a suitable spirit ring and complete this breakthrough alone. **"We need to find a powerful spirit beast as the source of the sixth spirit ring. This requires not only strength, but also wisdom and caution."**
Just as he was thinking about how to find a suitable soul beast, a familiar figure suddenly flashed through his mind - Wang Dong'er. Huo Yuhao's mouth curled up slightly, and her resolute and gentle smile emerged in his mind. He realized that he didn't have to bear it all alone, and there were his companions in the Tang Sect, who were also his solid backing.

**“Perhaps, I should go and discuss it with Wu Tong. This time, I not only need her help but also her company for the breakthrough.”** Huo Yuhao thought silently in his heart, then stood up and walked out of the secret room slowly.

As soon as he left the retreat, Huo Yuhao could feel a familiar fresh breath in the air. Inside the Tang Sect, several disciples were busy handling various matters. When they saw Huo Yuhao coming out of retreat, they all paid him respect and greetings. Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, smiled back, and then walked straight to where Wang Donger was practicing.

Arriving outside Wang Donger's training room, Huo Yuhao knocked gently on the door. A burst of brisk footsteps came from inside the room, and then the door was pushed open, and Wang Donger's pretty figure appeared in front of him.

"Yuhao, you're out!" The moment Wang Donger saw Huo Yuhao, a surprised smile appeared on her face.

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and said softly, "Wutong, I have something I want to discuss with you."

There was a hint of curiosity in Wang Dong'er's eyes, and she nodded and said, "Come in and talk." She stepped aside and motioned Huo Yuhao to come in.

Huo Yuhao walked into the room and looked around. This training room was decorated simply and warmly, exuding a reassuring atmosphere. Wang Donger motioned for him to sit down, and she sat down opposite him.

“Wutong, I broke through level 59 during my retreat, and now I’ve reached the bottleneck of level 60. In order to successfully break through to the Soul Emperor level, I need to find a suitable soul beast to condense the sixth soul ring for me.” Huo Yuhao said straight to the point.

Wang Dong'er's eyes flashed with joy when she heard this, but soon became solemn. She knew what Huo Yuhao's breakthrough meant, and she was also aware of the dangers and challenges in the process. "Yuhao, what kind of soul beast do you want to find as your sixth soul ring?" she asked.

Huo Yuhao pondered for a while before slowly saying, “I need a soul beast that can match my ultimate ice attribute, preferably one that is over ten thousand years old. This will not only allow me to break through smoothly, but also further enhance my ultimate ice power.”

Wang Dong'er nodded, and had some thoughts in mind. "In that case, we can go to the Far North. Most of the soul beasts there are mainly ice-attributed. Maybe we can find a suitable target."

“Yeah, that’s what I thought. However, this operation may not be easy. Those powerful soul beasts cannot be easily dealt with.” Huo Yuhao said seriously.

Wang Dong'er smiled and said softly, "Yuhao, don't worry, I will go with you. Besides, we have partners from the Tang Sect. If we act together, our chances of winning will be greater."

Huo Yuhao looked at her gratefully, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. "Wu Tong, thank you for your continued support. Let's go together. After breaking through level 60, I will be able to do more for the Tang Sect, the academy, and everyone else."

Wang Dong'er gently held his hand and said firmly: "Yuhao, no matter what happens, we will face it together."

Huo Yuhao nodded, and his heart was filled with more confidence in the upcoming breakthrough. He knew that being able to fight side by side with a partner like Wang Donger was his greatest luck.

In the next few days, Huo Yuhao and Wang Donger began to prepare for the trip to the Far North. They contacted other core members of the Tang Sect and planned to go to this mysterious land covered with ice and snow to find a soul beast that could help Huo Yuhao break through. When the people of the Tang Sect heard the news, they were all excited and everyone was willing to work together for Huo Yuhao's breakthrough.

Huo Yuhao's breakthrough is not only related to his personal growth, but also to the future development of the Tang Sect. Breaking through level 60 and becoming a Soul Emperor not only means that he will have stronger combat power, but also means that he will become an important force for the Tang Sect and even the entire continent in future battles.

However, before this operation, Huo Yuhao and Wang Donger both understood that this road was destined to be full of difficulties, but they also firmly believed that with mutual trust and support, they would be able to overcome all challenges.

In this way, Huo Yuhao, Wang Donger and the Tang Sect’s companions embarked on a journey to the Far North.
