Peerless: Gu Master Transforms Douluo.

Chapter 145: Ice Emperor: Impossible, Absolutely Impossible (4k)

Soul Contract.

Let's call it that.

This was a method that Huo Yuhao had guessed and thought about, and then he and Alex had initially perfected.

According to their research on the underlying logic and rules of Douluo Continent, the soul beast's [origin] plays an important role in the production of soul rings.

Of course, during the research period, Tianmeng and Bingdi also cooperated to complete some speculative experiments.

Tianmeng, in particular, as the first intelligent soul ring on the continent, coupled with the huge spiritual origin it bestowed on Huo Yuhao, can be said to have played a vital and important role in the creation of the soul contract.

Alex proposed: It is precisely because the soul beast’s cultivation level improves and its original power increases that the soul beast will gradually comprehend more innate skills.

Different bloodlines have different strengths of original power, which is one of the reasons why there is a clear gap in the strength of soul beasts.

After the death of a soul beast, the remaining essence condenses into a soul ring or forms soul bones according to the rules, which can be provided to the soul master for absorption and fusion to form soul skills.

The reason why a hundred thousand year soul beast is certain to drop soul bones and the reason why a hundred thousand year soul ring can give soul beasts two skills is precisely because the remaining original power after their death is extremely powerful.

A soul contract is a contract between a living soul beast and a soul master, connecting them into a whole at the soul level, thereby preserving the soul beast's original power as completely as possible and providing it to the soul master to form a soul ring.

As for the means at the soul level, Alex is an expert in this field. As the Holy God of the Dead, he has a firm grasp of it.

Soon, such an equal contract was worked out based on the experience of previous lives.

Yes, it’s the one in the original novel, a soul contract with many restrictions that was created to reconcile the conflicts between humans and soul beasts.

The starting point was good, but unfortunately, due to the lack of technical capabilities and various external rules and constraints, as well as the subsequent founder's ascension to godhood, the entire soul system was full of unfinished regrets.

Of course, it only took a few days for Alex and Huo Yuhao to initially perfect the soul contract, which was much inferior to the soul system in the later part of the original work.

At present, due to the limitations of Huo Yuhao's cultivation level and actual operations, it can only work on those soul beasts over 100,000 years old that "voluntarily sacrifice themselves".

The main reason is the serious lack of experimental materials. They have been working behind closed doors and can only make inferences based on Huo Yuhao’s previous experiences with Tianmeng and Bingdi.

After all, only practice can bring true knowledge.

Soul beasts are easy to find, but it is a very troublesome problem to directly contact their origin while they are still alive for research.

In particular, ordinary soul beasts have low intelligence and are difficult to communicate with, which will add a lot of trouble and risks to the experiment. However, soul beasts with high intelligence and willing to communicate are basically at least 100,000 years old and are almost impossible to contact.

Therefore, in the words of Alex, although the most difficult stage of creation has passed, the current soul contract is only a semi-finished product and needs to be gradually improved in the future.

Huo Yuhao had the same idea.

In his imagination, the soul contract will eventually allow soul masters to develop a profession similar to that of beast tamers.

After the contract, the soul beast can grow and progress together with the soul master, instead of having to abandon its physical body as in the original work.

In short, the soul system still has a long way to go.

Huo Yuhao also didn't plan to eat until he became a fat man all at once, for now it would be enough.

The most urgent task is to improve your own strength.

……

"Yuhao, I'm going to start."

As soon as he finished speaking, Alex's figure emerged from the void. He had gorgeous patterns on his golden robe, white hair and a long beard, and his vicissitudes of life were yet simple and profound.

As Alex waved the staff in his hand, the spell began to become louder, and golden runes began to be outlined slowly and firmly.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, while chanting, Huo Yuhao also raised his right hand, with his index finger vaguely floating in the air, and synchronously imitated Alex's movements.

There was a hint of relief in Alex's eyes. His cheap apprentice's comprehension was extremely strong.

Originally, Alex was planning to possess the old grandfather's body and help Huo Yuhao execute the first soul contract, but now it seems that this is no longer necessary.

In the sea of ​​spirit, Huo Yuhao's eyes turned into a brilliant golden color. A golden hexagram magic circle enveloped the man and the silkworm. The golden symbols drawn by his right hand floated towards the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm one after another. The originally turbulent sea of ​​spirit gradually calmed down under his spell.

Tian Meng, revealing her true form, slowly closed her eyes. As runes gradually fell on her body, soft mental power surrounded her, and her aura was undergoing wonderful changes bit by bit.

Tian Meng's originally illusory body gradually became solid as it shrank, and the breath of life became stronger and stronger.

Finally, as the last rune of Huo Yuhao's spell was successfully transformed, the contract was established.

A white light suddenly flashed, and Tianmeng's body became the size of a palm, and his pair of golden eyes were filled with excitement.

On its forehead, there was an additional purple-gold mark, which looked like a vertical eye. It was the contract belonging to Huo Yuhao.

Under the guidance of Master Yi, Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng formally signed a soul contract, and the first soul on the continent - Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was born.

Even Huo Yuhao was given a personal initiative achievement.

[Achieve the 'Soul Contract' achievement and receive the reward of Power Multiplier Gu. ]

[Power-multiplier Gu: A fifth-level Gu worm, Law-based, specializes in assisting other Gu worms. It consumes extra soul power and can increase the effect of the assisted Gu worm up to five times.]

[Evaluation: This is our mind-blowing Gu-insect fusion technique! ]

I can only say that the consumption of the Power-Multiplying Gu is very high, but it is definitely one of the best auxiliary Gu worms!

Afterwards, Huo Yuhao also signed a soul contract with Bingdi. Since her origin was also preserved exceptionally well, the process was also very smooth.

Thus, the blood-red soul ring with four golden patterns turned into orange-gold.

Although the current soul contract is not so mature, the advantage of providing multiple soul rings still exists. Moreover, the soul power consumed by the soul master when using the soul skills provided by the soul will be much less than the soul skills provided by ordinary soul rings, and the strength will be more than twice as strong as before.

However, although the Ice Emperor can provide multiple spirit rings after becoming a soul spirit, due to the characteristics of the Ice Soul Body martial soul, Huo Yuhao does not intend to directly absorb the spirit rings provided by the Ice Emperor.

Huo Yuhao discovered that, perhaps because of the existence of the Ice Soul Body-Mimicry Talent, the Ice Soul Body Martial Soul could actually continue to evolve. In other words, the current Ice Soul Body was not perfect enough.

Therefore, the soul ring position of the second martial soul should not be wasted for the time being. If you really can't find a suitable soul ring in the future, that's another matter.

If other people knew what Huo Yuhao was thinking, they would be so jealous that they would burst into pieces.

This is the soul ring of a 400,000-year-old ferocious beast!

Orange-gold! Are you still complaining about it? As for Tian Meng, due to some special reasons, he could only add one more spirit ring to Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao planned to save it for the seventh spirit body.

The true form of a martial spirit that is a million years old is terrifying just to think about!
After the two souls signed the contract, Bingdi also made some suggestions.

Bingdi slowly said: "Yuhao, let's go to the Far North. I think Xuedi is about to reach her limit..."

"Snow Emperor?"

Huo Yuhao was somewhat tempted. He remembered Ice Emperor’s second mission, [Searching for Snow Emperor]. This mission had indeed been delayed for nearly a year.

Before was before!
A year ago he was timid, but a year later he struck out with all his might!
Compared with the person he was a year ago, Huo Yuhao now is a completely different person, especially in terms of strength and character.

Huo Yuhao’s normal strength has now reached the Soul Saint level, and relying on his powerful spiritual realm, he will have no problem protecting himself unless he encounters some Titled Douluo-level strongmen.

Especially with the combination of time and space soul skills and the blessing of the poisonous insect, Huo Yuhao’s life-saving means were maximized.

"Even Xue Di can't survive this time?"

Hearing this, even Tian Meng's tone sounded a little lonely.

“Of course you can, but will Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor agree with your idea?” Huo Yuhao naturally knew that Ice Emperor wanted to bring her good sister Snow Emperor along to embark on the path to becoming a god, but would the result really be so smooth?

Bingdi was silent, with an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Indeed, just because she could agree, it didn’t mean Xue Di would agree as well.

How could the pride of the Snow Queen commit herself to a human? She would rather die in the heavenly tribulation than choose to become a human spirit ring.

At the time, it was because his time was really coming to an end, and he was also bound by Tianmeng's remains and threatened with self-destruction, and he also really saw Huo Yuhao's talent.

Due to various factors, Bingdi agreed to lend the donkey down the hill.

However, the Snow Emperor's 700,000-year deadline is approaching, and the Ice Emperor really doesn't want to see the Snow Emperor die like this.

"Yuhao, let's go to the Far North. I will convince Xue Di. Even if we fail in the end, Xue Di will never hurt us for my sake." Bing Di promised solemnly.

"I won't put my safety in the hands of others."

Just when Bingdi was feeling extremely disappointed, Huo Yuhao smiled calmly and changed the subject: “But since it is your request, Bingdi, there is no harm in going to take a look.”

Hyotei's information is clearly outdated.

If nothing unexpected happens, Snow Empress should now be using the Ten Thousand Year Old Snow Lotus to rebuild into a human being. His trip to the Far North was also to check on Snow Empress's situation.

Whether Xue Di will repeat the fate of the original novel and be captured by the destined person during the transformation process is still an unknown.

Huo Yuhao felt that this was a low-probability event. After all, he had kidnapped the Ice Emperor a year in advance.

It took a whole year for the child to be born, not to mention the beast to transform.

An existence of the level of Snow Empress, coupled with the special nature of Ice and Snow Girl, as long as she can transform into a human form, even a Titled Douluo would find it difficult to detect that Snow Empress is actually a transformed soul beast.

Huo Yuhao believed that as the daughter of the Far North who was born and raised, Xue Di had good luck. Unless it was an obvious “arrangement” like in the original novel, she would never encounter a crisis so easily.

Anyway, let’s go and take a look first.

……

The far north, the core area.

The temperature dropped suddenly, and the sky was filled with fierce winds, but these had no effect on Huo Yuhao at the moment.

Moreover, relying on the light rainbow Gu blessed by the power-doubling Gu, Huo Yuhao traveled at a very fast speed, even far exceeding some high-level flying soul guides.

“It feels so good to be back!”

The Ice Emperor revisited the old place with a somewhat emotional look on his face, but he soon returned to his calm state. He then said to Huo Yuhao, “Yuhao, I’m going to start contacting the Snow Emperor. You guys get ready.”

"Ah."

Afterwards, the Ice Emperor's true form appeared on Huo Yuhao's shoulder and, with the help of Huo Yuhao's mental power, transmitted a message.

The Ice Emperor's whole body shook, and a green light burst out from his tail, dyeing the grayish-white clouds the same color, and continued to spread towards the deepest part of the Far North.

"Xuedi, are you there?"

No one answered.

Silence is the Far North today.

"Hmm? That's not right. Where is the Snow Girl? Her 700,000-year deadline hasn't come yet." After waiting for a long time, Ice Emperor also became confused.

Huo Yuhao considered his words carefully: "Ice Empress, is it possible that Snow Empress has successfully transformed into a human?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Bingdi waved his hands and denied it flatly.

“Yuhao, you may not know that we soul beasts only have the opportunity to choose to transform into humans when we face the first 100,000-year heavenly tribulation. If we give up this opportunity, we can only continue on the path of fierce beasts until the end.”

“Furthermore, after reincarnating as a human, not only is the life span short, but there is also a great risk of being exposed before the seventh ring, so very few soul beasts do this. Only a few soul beasts with inferior bloodlines, who know that they have no hope of surviving the tribulation, will choose to transform into a human. Xue Di has been cultivating for nearly 700,000 years, and she has long lost the opportunity to transform into a human!”

Indeed, from the perspective of universal rationality, what Bingdi said is very reasonable.

Even Tian Meng agreed with this: "That's right, if I hadn't avoided the heavenly tribulation by chance, I would definitely have chosen the path of transformation and becoming a human."

“Ice Emperor, you were able to become my spirit ring due to various coincidences. It is also very reasonable that Snow Emperor happened to obtain a rare treasure and was able to take the path of transformation again, right?” Huo Yuhao smiled and spoke directly.

Bingdi fell into a brief silence, and then retorted: "No! Based on my understanding of Xuedi, how could she transform into a human with her pride, and..."

Moreover, if the Snow Queen obtained a treasure like the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow, there was no way that the Ice Queen would not know about it.

"It is because of pride that Xue Di was able to transform into a human. After all, she knew that she had no hope of breaking through the limit, and the only way to become a human was to have a slim chance of becoming a god. Therefore, if she had the opportunity to transform into a human, Xue Di would definitely not give up easily."

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment and continued, “Anyway, Ice Emperor, we can go ask other soul beasts in the Far North. Maybe someone knows the whereabouts of Snow Emperor.”

"Alright."

If it was the Ice Bear King Xiaobai, he would definitely know the current movements of the Snow Emperor.
