Douluo Continent: The Incarnation of a Divine Beast, Sister Huo Yutong!

Chapter 71 Loli Snow Emperor
Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Huo Yuhao quickly invited Gu Yuena and Bingdi into the palace, while also inquiring about the little girl's health.

Although the soul contract she used was improved in many ways compared to the soul method in the original work, it was the first time she had used it, and no one knew if it would leave any hidden dangers.

Faced with Huo Yuhao's concern, the little girl's lips curled up slightly, and then she gently raised her hand, her figure enveloped by an icy blue phantom.

"Wow!"

The icy blue phantom exploded into countless tiny ice crystals, and a little girl with a height increase and icy blue hair appeared before everyone.

At this time, Huo Yutong's appearance was extremely similar to Xue Di's; the only difference might be her temperament.

If the previous Snow Empress was a snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains that braved the snow and frost, then the current Huo Yutong is a snow plum blossom that shines brightly in winter. Although they are similar, their temperaments are completely different.

As the martial soul possession was completed, three strange blue-gold soul rings rose from the little girl's feet, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Huo Yuhao looked at the three blue-gold spirit rings and fell into a brief state of thought.

It's normal that the color of the spirit ring is different from that of a normal spirit ring, because in Huo Yuhao's memory, after a ferocious beast undergoes a spirit ritual, the color of the spirit ring obtained by the spirit master will change according to the attributes of the spirit beast.

However, the only thing that Huo Yuhao found strange was that in the original story, when Xue Di became a spirit, she should have left behind four spirit rings.

What... it's shrunk?
Huo Yuhao sensed the little girl's soul rings, and then his expression turned strange.

It is said that the Snow Empress only condensed three soul rings, but the skills contained within them far exceeded those in the original work.

In the original work, the three soul rings bestowed by the Snow Empress's spirit were the Snow Empress's Three Absolute Skills, and the fourth soul ring was the fusion skill between her and the Ice Empress.

What now?
First Soul Skill: Snow Emperor's Three Absolute Techniques!
Emperor Sword: Unrivaled Ice!
Emperor's Palm: No snow during the Great Cold!
Di Hantian: Snow Dance Under the Dazzling Sun!
The second and third soul skills are two skills that did not appear in the original work, but you can tell from their names that they are quite powerful.

Huo Yuhao quickly figured this out.

The Snow Empress has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and the skills she has mastered are definitely not limited to the Snow Empress Three Absolutes. Any of her skills are stronger than ordinary 100,000-year-old soul skills.

At the same time, Gu Yuena fell into deep thought upon seeing the three peculiar soul rings on the little girl's body.

Huo Yuhao had also told her about the Soul Contract, and that it would be a great invention that would benefit both humans and soul beasts.

She was initially somewhat dismissive, but now, upon closer inspection…

One spirit ring becomes three, which can indeed reduce the number of spirit beasts that humans hunt.

However, if that's all there is to it, the soul contract only temporarily alleviates the conflict between the two parties, and cannot be considered a complete solution.

Unless… the Soul Contract has other abilities she's unaware of!

Looking at the little girl standing there, her face slightly raised, clearly wanting his praise, Huo Yuhao's lips curled up slightly. He ruffled her hair without any hesitation and said loudly:

"As expected of my sister, Huo Yuhao!"

Upon receiving her brother's praise, the little girl's eyes narrowed, just like a little animal wagging its tail incessantly when praised by its master.

Suddenly, her body trembled, and the three soul rings on her body lit up with a white light.

Immediately afterwards, an ice-blue figure materialized in front of the little girl; it was none other than the Snow Emperor!

Upon seeing the Snow Empress appear, the Ice Empress, who had been absent-minded, instantly perked up and instinctively lunged towards her.

She had thought that after the Snow Emperor made the sacrifice, he would fall asleep in the little girl's spiritual sea, but she never expected that the Snow Emperor would actually appear in the outside world.

Unfortunately, the flying Hyotei pierced through the Snow Emperor's body, broke an ice pillar, and only then did he stop.

Looking at her rapidly recovering body, a hint of worry flashed in Xue Di's eyes.

"My soul power is being depleted so quickly..."

With a slight thought, a white light flashed across Xue Di's body once again.

The Snow Empress, who had previously appeared as a mature and alluring woman with a curvaceous figure, had now transformed into a little girl of only four or five years old, with rosy lips and white teeth.

"Snow...snow...snow..."

When Hyotei, who was struggling to get up, saw Yuki-tei in this state, he was speechless.

"what happened?"

"Do I look strange right now?"

"In this form, the soul power consumption will be much less..."

"If I get bigger, I'll soon fall into a deep sleep..."

Seeing the stunned Hyotei, Yuki-tei frowned slightly and asked softly.

Despite her petite appearance, she exudes a mature air, creating a strange contrast that possesses an inexplicable charm. "No...no need...this is fine...this is fine..."

"Hehe...Little Xue'er...is so cute..."

The thought of being able to snuggle up to the adorable Xue'er after the sacrifice made Bingdi rush to Huo Yutong's side.

"That human... what was your name again...?"

"Oh right, Yu Tong!"

"Quick, get ready, I'm about to make a sacrifice!"

Huo Yutong, who had just completed the soul contract with Xue Di, froze.

No way, that fast?
Soul contracts are different from sacrifices; they require a significant expenditure of mental energy.

The little girl was about to refuse instinctively, but then the voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm echoed in her mind:
"Yutong, Hyotei is right..."

"The sooner it ends, the sooner we can go home..."

The little girl pondered for a moment.

Was this what Hyotei meant just now?

"But Sister Tianmeng, I just completed the soul contract, and my spiritual power..."

"Don't worry, I'll replenish it for you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl felt a cool sensation in her mind, and the fatigue she had felt after completing the soul contract vanished.

"How about it? Let's get started!"

"I can't wait to be with my adorable Bingbing..."

The little girl had reason to suspect that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said this in order to meet Ice Emperor as soon as possible.

Seeing the anxious look in Bingdi's eyes, Huo Yutong silently stretched out her fingers and once again condensed the Soul Contract.

The icy blue light reappeared, but this time it was directed at Ice Emperor and Huo Yutong.

Seeing the blue beams of light emanating from the two of them, Gu Yuena moved lightly and came to Huo Yuhao's side.

"Yuhao, can you explain this soul contract to me in detail?"

Didn't I tell you this before?

Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Gu Yuena's face, but she quickly replaced it with an expression of complete indifference:
"I forgot!"

"Woman's mouth..."

Since Gu Yuena has said that, what else can he do?
Huo Yuhao then told Gu Yuena the details of the Soul Contract.

In the original novel, Huo Yuhao's Soul Spirit Technique seemed perfect, but it actually had a huge flaw—the inequality between humans and soul beasts.

Although Huo Gua regarded his soul spirit as a partner rather than a weapon, other soul masters did not think so.

When the Soul Spirit Technique was first invented, the main source of Soul Spirits was those Soul Beasts that were on the verge of death.

But how many such soul beasts are there?

Faced with power, some Soul Masters may take risks and choose to kill Soul Beasts to forcibly create Soul Spirits.

In addition, spirits have many limitations and cannot survive without a human host.

Some spirits suffer an even more tragic fate, being inherited by their descendants after the death of their original host, and subjected to enslavement for generations to come.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao improved the Soul Spirit Technique, so that a Soul Spirit Contract could only be formed when both parties agreed.

Furthermore, after the host dies, the soul can choose whether or not to remain.

Huo Yuhao cannot guarantee that every soul can find a suitable host, but he gives each soul the right to understand itself.

Of course, to completely solve the drawbacks of the Soul Spirit Method, two major problems are still needed: artificial soul spirits and artificial soul bones.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao subconsciously looked at Gu Yuena.

It seems that in later generations, it was this ruler of soul beasts who solved the problem of artificial soul spirits.
