Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 173 Every worm dreams of becoming a butterfly!

After overcoming countless difficulties, Huo Yuhao's second martial soul was finally born.

Zhu Ziyang witnessed all of this, and to be honest, he was extremely shocked. Although he knew that there was more than one way to awaken a martial soul, Huo Yuhao's awakening method was absolutely the most outrageous one he had ever known!

He initially thought that Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's plan was to activate the undiscovered bloodline within them through the stimulation of a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone, thereby awakening a new martial soul. However, Ice Emperor told him that Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's ambition was actually to make Ice Emperor Huo Yuhao's martial soul!

That's right, their target isn't the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul, but the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul!

It has to be said that the chosen ones of destiny truly cannot be judged by ordinary standards. A million-year-old soul beast can actually provide a soul master with a new martial soul, creating twin martial souls through later cultivation—this is practically defying the rules of the world! The fact that the world's rules haven't directly annihilated them is already a great favor to the chosen ones of destiny!

He finally understood why this world was so harsh on soul beasts.

All we can say is that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is unique. After all, it's unparalleled to become a million-year-old soul beast by sleeping. It's likely that even the world's rules haven't realized there's such a loophole.

However, although Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's idea was brilliant and Huo Yuhao's luck was strong, it ultimately failed to make the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Huo Yuhao's second martial soul.

Zhu Ziyang was very much looking forward to seeing how Huo Yuhao's second martial soul would appear without the Ice Emperor. Would they choose to continue condensing the Ice Jade Scorpion martial soul, or the Snow Silkworm martial soul, or some other method that Zhu Ziyang couldn't even imagine? In any case, the ceremony had already begun and could not be stopped unless they were willing to give up.

Soon, under Zhu Ziyang's gaze, Huo Yuhao stood up and released his second martial soul.

A pair of emerald green butterfly wings emerged from his back. The forewings were broad like fans, while the hindwings were long and slender like tails, making the whole pair resemble a giant ginkgo leaf. From the tip of the forewings to the end of the hindwings, the wings displayed a dazzling color gradient: the forewings were a deep blue-green, while the hindwings were a vibrant green-jade, making the whole pair resemble a beautiful piece of green jade. The exquisite and intricate patterns on the wings were quite similar to the markings on Hyotei's body.

Zhu Ziyang felt surprised, yet also thought it was quite normal. After all, he was the chosen one of destiny. If he really chose the ordinary path, it would be a disgrace to the title of the chosen one of destiny!

Did the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, combined with the Ice Jade Scorpion bloodline and the possible Moth bloodline within Huo Yuhao, form Huo Yuhao's current martial soul? Zhu Ziyang quickly formed a guess in his mind. He wanted to rush up and ask directly, but to avoid causing unnecessary tension, he decided to wait until he returned to the academy before speaking.

An unknown butterfly martial soul, it looks like it should be a top-tier martial soul, after all, it has the bloodline of the Ice Jade Scorpion, hehe, indeed every big worm has the desire to become a butterfly!

Zhu Ziyang smiled and then left.

Huo Yuhao was unaware that Zhu Ziyang had witnessed all his changes; at this moment, he was still immersed in his transformative metamorphosis.

"Brother Tianmeng, is this my second martial soul? It's so beautiful!" Huo Yuhao stared in a daze at the butterfly wings behind him. For some reason, Wang Dong's smiling face appeared in his mind. He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said.

"I never expected that you possess the Ascension Gene! This is an ability that our Snow Silkworm clan dreams of!" Tianmeng said, her voice filled with envy and excitement. "Because you've fused the Ice Jade Scorpion bloodline with our Ice Silkworm clan's bloodline, your Martial Soul is the Ultimate Ice!"

"Ultimate Ice? What's that?" Huo Yuhao asked, a look of confusion on his face.

"Ultimate Ice, as the name suggests, refers to the ultimate control over the ice element, making it the king of ice elements. The reason why the Ice Jade Scorpions are so powerful is because they possess the ultimate ice attribute!" Tianmeng said, her voice filled with melancholy as she thought of the Ice Emperor, "What a pity, my Bingbing! Waaaaah!"

"Brother Tianmeng, don't be sad!" Huo Yuhao comforted him. "I promise you, if I really become a god, I will revive Bingdi immediately!"

In Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's eyes, Ice Emperor seemed to have no way out but death. They could never have imagined that Ice Emperor would appear in their eyes in another way.

"Yes! You will definitely become a god!" Tianmeng rallied and said, "I will do everything in my power to help you, Yuhao! We absolutely cannot let down the sacrifice of the Ice Emperor!"

"Yes, yes!" Huo Yuhao nodded solemnly and said, "Brother Tianmeng, I've decided, my new martial soul will be called Ice Emperor Celestial Moth!"

This name was undoubtedly given by Huo Yuhao to commemorate the Ice Emperor. His childhood experiences made him cherish everyone who was genuinely good to him!

"Ice Emperor Celestial Moth, Ice Emperor, good, let's call it Ice Emperor Celestial Moth!" Tianmeng was very satisfied with this name, because this martial spirit was the Ice Emperor's life's work. He excitedly shouted, "Yuhao, you must make the Ice Emperor Celestial Moth martial spirit famous throughout the continent, only then will it be worthy of the Ice Emperor's name!"

"Yes, yes! I definitely will!" Huo Yuhao replied confidently.

When Zhu Ziyang returned to Anyang City, he discovered that he only had seven days left of his vacation.

So, after staying at home for two more days, Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan returned to Shrek Academy. They traveled quickly and returned to Shrek Academy in just three days.

"Brother, when are you planning to hunt for spirit rings?" Jiang Nannan asked, her pretty face filled with admiration, happiness, and a hint of helplessness. "Sigh, I was thinking that I was finally going to catch up with you, but you just went to the far north and came back as a Spirit Emperor. Isn't that a bit too discouraging?"

"Haha, maybe I'm just lucky! You don't need to worry about it, after all, there's still a 100,000-year-old immortal herb waiting for you!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziyang could only scratch the back of his head, laugh, and try to brush it off.

He was also considering how to explain this to Mu En, since matters concerning souls were far too complex. Mu En was a level 99 Limit Douluo and his teacher; some things couldn't be hidden from him. Rather than waiting until Mu En discovered it and appearing to have impure intentions, it was better to tell him now. After all, these things were all aboveboard, and Zhu Ziyang had a clear conscience.

However, the only thing troubling Zhu Ziyang was how to explain the origin of the Soul Spirit Technique. He couldn't just tell Mu En that he had a teacher from another world who was even more powerful than him, could he?

All the way, Zhu Ziyang kept thinking about this question. It wasn't until they returned to Shrek Academy and set foot on Seagod Island that he came up with a reason: the fourth level of the far north, the true core of the far north, the area that Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor called the Tomb of Gods.

He had intended to tell Mu En that this Soul-Spirit Technique came from the Graveyard of the Gods, and that the Snow Emperor had obtained a divine contract from it. This reason was flawless, because Mu En would never personally travel to the core of the far north for something that seemed crucial but was actually insignificant, and besides, he couldn't get in anyway.

Zhu Ziyang finally came up with a reason, which was simply to avoid revealing Electrolux's existence, but this reason was rejected by Electrolux first.

"Ziyang, you don't need to go through all that trouble. Just tell that Mu En that I exist!" Electrox said, with a calm smile on his face.

"This..." Zhu Ziyang was taken aback, then said, "Is this really okay, teacher?"

"What? Are you afraid I can't beat that Moon? Or are you worried I'll scare him out of his remaining lifespan?" Electrox said.

"Of course not!" Zhu Ziyang shook his head subconsciously and replied.

"No, then what are you afraid of?" Electrolux said irritably.

"That's right, what am I afraid of?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziyang suddenly realized that he hadn't stolen, robbed, or done anything immoral, so what was there to be afraid of?

Besides, Mu En is his teacher; he wouldn't really make things difficult for him. Yan Shaozhe is so incompetent, having done so many stupid things, yet Mu En only made him go into seclusion to reflect. Zhu Ziyang is such a genius; unless Mu En has lost his mind, he would never suspect this future star of Shrek Academy just because of a remnant soul from another world.

Perhaps it was because he had learned too many secrets beyond the level of gods during this period that his consciousness developed a sense of fear.

Humans are always like this; they are filled with awe when faced with the unknown!
