Peerless: Tang San, this time Huo Yuhao is the attacker.

Xiao Xiao was stunned; clearly, Huo Yuhao's words were completely unexpected.

Her previous plan to give the soul bone to Huo Yuhao no matter what quietly shattered at this moment, and a sense of enlightenment welled up in her heart.

Yes, how could a thousand-year-old soul bone be worthy of a genius like Yuhao? She thought she was doing it for his own good, but in reality, it backfired.

Within his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, Hyotei abandoned the idea of ​​speaking out.

She was awakened after sensing the presence of a soul bone near Huo Yuhao.

Although it is unknown what kind of soul beast the owner of that soul bone was, it is still possible to judge its approximate age by the fluctuation of soul power.

She originally intended to stop Huo Yuhao from fusing with this soul bone.

Huo Yuhao was chosen by Ice Emperor, so it was impossible for him to fuse with such a low-level soul bone among the six main soul bones.

However, to Ice Emperor's surprise, Huo Yuhao's perception was quite high. As a Soul Master, being able to remain calm in front of a Soul Bone was enough to be considered a person of excellent character.

A hint of approval flashed in Hyotei's eyes before he went back to sleep.

There was no other way; staying in her spiritual sea was just too boring. She wasn't a talkative person, so she couldn't possibly go looking for Huo Yuhao just to chat. She could only pass the time by sleeping.

She hoped that when she woke up, Huo Yuhao would have grown into a Limit Douluo and begun his ascension to godhood.

"Yuhao is right. Our talents shouldn't be limited to a thousand-year-old soul bone. We should at least have a ten-thousand-year-old one."

Wang Dong nodded in agreement. Xiao Xiao was a little unhappy that her words had been taken away. She wanted to chime in, but then a sudden inspiration struck her.

Her eyes flickered, her cherry lips pouted slightly, and she turned her head to face Huo Yuhao's profile, making a wronged little expression.

"Then I'm doomed! I've already absorbed a thousand-year-old left leg bone. Wang Dong, you wouldn't have deliberately given me the soul bone, would you?"

"No? Why are you only suspecting me?"

"Yuhao would never do such a thing, but you might be a different story."

Looking at Xiao Xiao's matter-of-fact expression, Wang Dong slowly typed out three question marks.

"???"

Huo Yuhao watched the two bickering with great interest, and only after a while did he step in to stop them.

After discussion, the three decided to keep the soul bone for now. After all, they were not short of money and there was no need to send the soul bone to auction, which would be the least cost-effective approach.

Although it was a joint decision by the three of them, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao had already subconsciously handed over ownership of the soul bone to Huo Yuhao, and they wouldn't say anything even if he gave it away.

The three spent their day studying as usual, and the next day they went to the Soul Fighting Zone to meet up with the rest of the reserve team.

However, in addition to the seven reserve members, there were also seven students standing in the Soul Battle Zone at this time. They were all wearing bright red uniforms, which showed their status as inner court disciples.

"Senior Ma is here too. Is she all better now?" Wang Dong whispered to the two of them as he looked at Ma Xiaotao not far away.

After the previous rescue incident, Wang Dong no longer harbored such strong hostility towards Ma Xiaotao and could now view her with equanimity.

"Wang Dong, do you know any of the senior students in the inner academy? Which one is Senior Sister Ma?" Xiao Xiao looked at Wang Dong, her eyes full of curiosity.

"It's that red-haired senior, Yuhao and I both know her, right, Yuhao?"

Wang Dong answered instinctively, but received no response from Huo Yuhao. She immediately repeated, "Yuhao?"

"Huh? What? I was distracted and didn't hear you clearly." Huo Yuhao's reaction was noticeably slow, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"We were talking about Senior Ma. Didn't she have some health problems?" Wang Dong was a little confused, but he repeated what he had just said.

"Her problem is temporarily resolved, and she'll be fine for the time being."

Their conversation further piqued Xiao Xiao's curiosity. "What's wrong? Is Senior Ma feeling unwell?"

"This is someone's privacy, we can't just talk about it," Huo Yuhao said apologetically, patting Xiao Xiao's head.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, I just asked casually." Xiao Xiao's face was slightly flushed, and the panic in her heart made her speak several times faster than usual.

"By the way, Yuhao, what were you thinking about just now? You seemed so engrossed." Wang Dong asked casually, and Xiao Xiao also turned to look at him.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking about this tournament. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll be the main force next time."

Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Wang Dong waved his hand domineeringly, "No surprises, the main force will definitely be mine!"

Huo Yuhao smiled and his gaze fell on the main team again. He was very interested in two of them. Like Ma Xiaotao, they were both girls on the team.

The girl standing slightly to the left has shoulder-length silver hair, with a faint icy blue light flowing through her strands, like the soft glow of moonlight shining on thin snow.

Her skin was fair, with a translucent, icy quality; her features were delicate, with a straight, elegant nose and lips as thin as cicada wings.

But what's most striking are her eyes; her ice-blue eyes are as clear and bright as a spring.

There was a detached coldness in his gaze when he looked down, as if he could reflect the truest thoughts in people's hearts.

She stood there, like a meticulously carved piece of cold jade—beautiful and moving, yet utterly devoid of warmth.

(The character designs in the comics and the original work are quite different. In the original work, she's a cool and aloof older sister type, while in the comics, she's several levels more lively.)

Effect: Abilities dominated by the ice element are enhanced by 30%.

Advancement Requirements: Strengthen Ling Luochen's Ice Element Martial Soul, raising its ice control limit to -130 degrees Celsius.

Huo Yuhao stared at the text on the screen, his eyes narrowing involuntarily.

Like Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen is a holder of the purple attribute, and both have been given hints about the conditions for advancement.

Since there are gold entries above the red ones, it means that Xianlin'er's [Spirit of Machinery] must also have advancement conditions.

Huo Yuhao was so certain because Xian Lin'er, as a red-label holder, was different from Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao, who were purple-label holders.

The red entries will not be displayed directly; certain triggering conditions must be met before they can be displayed.

Therefore, by combining these pieces of information, it is not difficult to conclude that the display conditions and advanced conditions of the red entries are hidden.

Huo Yuhao's gaze quickly shifted from Ling Luochen to another person, where there was also a light screen.
