The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 2 Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm

Starry Sky Forest

Upon entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Huo Zhanji roused himself, pulled out a sheathed short blade, the White Tiger Dagger, from his lower back, took a breath, forcibly suppressed his unease, and resolutely walked into the interior of the Star Dou Great Forest.

He hadn't gone far when suddenly, a strange feeling appeared in his mind. He quickly circulated his soul power, his eyes emitting a purplish-red light, and saw a black shadow flash by.

Suddenly, the black shadow pounced straight at Huo Zhanji from his right. Although the shadow was fast, Huo Zhanji's martial soul was the double pupil evolved from the Spirit Eye. It was a baboon about one meter tall, covered with brownish-yellow fur, with a fierce light shining in its brown eyes, unusually long arms, sharp claws on its hands, and four long fangs protruding from its mouth.

Facing the charging baboon, Huo Zhanji did not back down. Instead, he took a step forward, dodging the baboon's attack, and without stopping, he slashed the baboon's neck with the White Tiger Dagger in his hand.

The White Tiger Dagger was exceptionally sharp, easily slicing through the baboon's skin. In an instant, red and black blood spurted from the baboon's neck, splattering onto the surrounding ground. Unlike Huo Yuhao in the original story, Huo Zhanji was not in a sorry state.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang in Huo Zhanji's mind, "Finally, I've encountered a human with spiritual attributes. It's a pity I can't shed tears, otherwise I would definitely be weeping!"

"I've been waiting for you," Huo Zhanji thought to himself.

Without warning, the ground trembled, and cracks appeared on the ground two meters ahead. The cracks gradually widened, and a chilling coldness emanated from them. The surrounding temperature began to drop rapidly. As the cracks continued to expand, a round, white, jade-colored head, over a meter in diameter, slowly crawled out, wriggling its bloated body. Every so often, a golden ring appeared around its body below the head, a total of ten rings.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, brother won't hurt you." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm lowered its head and stopped a meter away from Huo Zhanji.

Huo Zhanji feigned surprise and asked, "Are you talking to me?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm nodded to him, its voice still echoing in Huo Zhanji's mind, "Of course it's you, brother. Let me introduce myself. I am Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the king of soul beasts who possesses both wisdom and beauty. I have cultivated for a million years and created the record for the longest lifespan in the history of Douluo Continent. You can call me Tianmeng."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said smugly, "Aren't you surprised? Aren't you excited? You're the first human to see my true form, little guy."

Huo Zhanji simply nodded blankly. "Then what are you going to do?"

Tianmeng Bingcan's voice suddenly became solemn: "Brother will become your spirit ring, the first intelligent spirit ring in the history of Douluo Continent."

The enormous head of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm glanced warily toward the Star Dou Great Forest before turning back to Huo Zhanji and saying, "I'm about to begin. Don't worry, I'll be gentle and won't hurt you too much."

Huo Zhanji felt a massive surge of spiritual power assaulting his mind. An invisible spiritual wave emanated from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm as it poured into Huo Zhanji's body.

Just then, the sky, which had been perfectly clear a moment before, suddenly darkened. A thunderous roar resounded high in the sky, and in that instant, the sunlight was completely blocked by darkness. An immense, suffocating pressure descended from the heavens.

The enormous body of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm trembled, and its two small golden eyes looked up at the sky, its gaze filled with horror. Clearly, the strange phenomenon in the sky was not caused by it.

A gray stream of air descended from the sky as if it had encountered a tremendous suction force, and in an instant, it landed on the back of Huo Zhanji's head and quietly entered him.

"What dares to steal my man?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm roared in fury, its immense spiritual power surging forth in an attempt to expel the gray energy from Huo Zhanji's body.

A very blurry figure emerged behind Huo Zhanji, and an aged voice rang out with an indescribable majesty, "Holding the sun and moon in my hands and plucking stars from the sky, there is no one like me in this world. I never thought that a trace of my remnant soul would still remain."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm dared not increase its mental attack any further, because blood was already seeping from Huo Zhanji's seven orifices. "Could I be this unlucky? I finally found a human with mental attributes, and yet some bastard is trying to steal him from me. Heaven is jealous of talent!"

Despite its grumbling, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm moved with remarkable speed. The dense white light gradually solidified, slowly flowing into Huo Zhanji's body. From the moment it began to inject its power into Huo Zhanji, there was no turning back.

"Hahaha, I'm finally free. Those bastards who treated me like food, you'll never have a chance. Hahahaha."

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained your first spirit ring. Your spirit power level has increased by one level.]

Huo Zhanji's Sea of ​​Spirit

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said, "As a million-year soul ring, and the first intelligent soul ring in history, my first soul ring can not only evolve infinitely according to your physical condition, but also grant you four soul skills. However, I won't give you a soul bone. Wait, your second martial soul is actually ice attribute!"

"What's wrong? Is it not good?" Huo Zhanji asked, looking puzzled.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said, "No, no, this martial soul is very good. You don't need to rush for your second martial soul's spirit ring; I've already thought of it for you. But your current cultivation level isn't high enough. Once you're stronger, I'll take you to complete the addition of your first ice attribute spirit ring."

"Frost Dragons are now extinct on the continent. How did you acquire this Martial Soul?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked.

"When I was a child, I received help from a master, and my original martial soul mutated into my current double pupils. As for the Frost Dragon martial soul, to be honest, I don't know anything about it."

"Truly blessed by heaven." But her excitement was short-lived. Tianmeng looked up at the sky, a flicker of worry crossing her eyes. "Huo Zhanji, do you see that gray orb of light up there?"

Huo Zhanji nodded slightly and said, "I see it. What is that?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said, "I don't know what that is either. When I merged into your body, a change suddenly occurred. It seemed to be attracted by my spiritual power. That gray orb is a wisp of soul, which doesn't seem to belong to our world. I don't know where it came from. However, although this wisp of soul is weak, its grade is extremely high, and I can't do anything about it. However, I can sense that it doesn't have any malicious intent. It should be asleep now. It's possible that it won't wake up in your lifetime, but it's also possible that it will cause some trouble when it wakes up. But don't worry, as long as it doesn't move, that's fine. If it really does anything to harm you, I can protect you without any problem."

"Alright, you should go now. Once you reach level 20, I can take you to obtain the first soul ring of the Frost Dragon."

With a thought, Huo Zhanji's body, formed from his mental energy within his sea of ​​consciousness, immediately vanished.

[Ding! System has issued a mission: Break through to the Great Soul Master level before the age of twelve. Rewards include comprehensive purification.]

"Although we fell behind early on, the advantage is in my hands, and I'll crush them."
