Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 83 Martial Soul Metamorphosis (Daily 10,000 words)

Huo Yuhao shook his head, intending to first remove the warning device he had set up nearby to prevent other Soul Masters who came to hunt Souls in the Star Dou Forest from stepping on his warning device.

After finishing all this, Huo Yuhao released his second martial soul, intending to study the four soul skills provided by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Ok?

Huo Yuhao let out a soft exclamation.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao could clearly sense that he already possessed a second martial soul. After all, the fact that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had accumulated millions of years of cultivation and was able to infuse all of his power into it was the best proof of this.

Even so, Huo Yuhao still felt that something was wrong.

Logically speaking, as a spirit-type and ice-type spirit beast, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm should have given itself a beast spirit. Moreover, in his estimation, his second spirit might be the spirit-type Ice Silkworm.

However, when Huo Yuhao tried the unique Martial Soul Possession technique of the Beast Martial Soul profession, there was no reaction at all.

Is it possible that the spirit possession of a beast spirit cannot be activated automatically by circulating all the spirit power in the body?

Huo Yuhao was somewhat puzzled, after all, although he had a wealth of theoretical knowledge, this was the first time he had ever possessed a beast martial soul.

Previously, Huo Yuhao knew quite a bit about beast spirit masters. For example, he knew the basic characteristics of a snake spirit master whose legs might turn into a snake tail when possessed, and a bear spirit master whose body would grow a mane when possessed.

Huo Yuhao even wondered if his legs would transform into ice silkworms after his martial soul was attached to him, but the result was not so; there were no changes on his body.

"Hey Yuhao, you'd better stop researching spirit possession. It seems like there's something wrong with your second spirit."

The voice of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm faintly echoed in Huo Yuhao's sea of ​​consciousness.

At this moment, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had basically learned about Huo Yuhao's life story during her argument with Qian Daoliu. In particular, she gasped when she learned that the boy had gone abroad to study at the age of six and had used a wedge-shaped weapon to cut his way from a dilapidated temple to the dwelling place of the dragon.

This child is terrifyingly powerful.

Originally, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm wanted to take the opportunity to read Huo Yuhao's memories, given that Huo Yuhao's mental sea was basically unguarded. However, after hearing Qian Daoliu's words, she immediately withdrew her previous idea and dropped the "little" at the beginning when calling Huo Yuhao, clearly having figured out who the big and small kings were.

"Hmm? Something's wrong? What's wrong?"

Huo Yuhao didn't notice the change in Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's tone and asked with some surprise.

"That's right. Didn't Old Man Qian say before that he wanted me to give you a pure spiritual attribute martial soul? So I separated the ice attribute power and spiritual attribute power in my body and used the original power of the spiritual attribute to condense a martial soul for you."

Huo Yuhao nodded upon hearing this, which seemed to indicate that there was indeed no problem.

"Then the problem seems to have arisen later. I gathered up the rest of my power and sealed it for you, condensing it into a spirit ring, but it seems that your martial spirit has a small problem at this time."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said awkwardly, "Your spirit-attribute martial soul was originally a pure spirit-type ice silkworm, but now it seems to have turned into a pupa."

"ha?"

Not only was Huo Yuhao stunned, but even Qian Daoliu was taken aback.

Do you think martial spirits are like silkworms in nature, which can start spinning silk and pupating after eating mulberry leaves for a few months?

Seeing the shocked looks on Huo Yuhao and Qian Daoliu's faces, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also felt a little aggrieved.

"Well, I don't know either. I just gave you a martial soul first and then sealed my power in the spirit ring slot. But before I knew it, your martial soul turned into a cocoon."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm cried out in grievance. He was a silkworm nearly a million years old, spending his days eating and sleeping, and he'd never shown any inclination to spin silk and form a pupa. However, after surpassing a million years, it seemed he'd developed a tiny bit of that idea.

Seeing that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm suddenly seemed to have thought of something, Huo Yuhao and Qian Daoliu silently shifted their gaze to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

"Hehe, hehe, don't look at me like that. Although I did have a slight urge to transform into a pupa after breaking the million mark, that hasn't been implemented yet..."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm awkwardly twisted its body.

"Besides, my power is only so much. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be enough to transform into a pupa. I previously divided my power into martial soul and soul rings, and when I combined them back together, the total amount should have remained unchanged."

"Unless there's some additional force involved, the martial soul I provided for you should still be at the Ice Silkworm stage..."

At this point, Huo Yuhao seemed to be deep in thought.

In order to maximize the use of the Xuan Shui Pill's energy, he would deliberately squeeze out all the medicinal properties of the pill before eating it. It was because of this that Huo Yuhao only ate his third Xuan Shui Pill a few days ago.

As Huo Yuhao circulated his soul power throughout his body, he was astonished to find that the medicinal properties of the Xuan Shui pill, which had lingered in his limbs and acupoints, had completely dissipated without a trace—even more completely than when he had spent half a year slowly absorbing the medicinal properties of the pill.

"Could it really be because of the Mysterious Water Pill?"

Huo Yuhao made some uncertain guesses.

"Elder Qian, will my martial soul state change in the future?"

A hint of melancholy appeared on Huo Yuhao's face. Who would have a martial soul that is a pupa?

"this……"

Qian Daoliu subconsciously touched his beard, pondered for a moment, and then said somewhat uncertainly.

"It's quite common for martial souls to evolve. For example, my second brother, who is over 180 years old, has a martial soul that evolved from a golden crocodile into the Golden Crocodile King. There's also the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. In historical records, there have been several records of the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and even the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"But this martial soul that has transformed into a pupa..."

Qian Daoliu gave a wry smile: "To be honest, there might be some relevant records in the Spirit Hall's collection of books, but I really know nothing about it."

"If there is any place in the world that might record the unique changes of your martial soul, it would probably be the library in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy."

"After all, Shrek Academy moved directly from the old site of Blue Tyrant Academy in Heaven Dou City to Spirit City after the Spirit Hall was destroyed, inheriting most of the Spirit Hall's legacy. Perhaps only there is the possibility of unlocking the mystery of your Spirit Cocoon."

Huo Yuhao felt a little disappointed that he couldn't get an answer from Qian Daoliu. Fortunately, Tianmeng said that it could clearly sense that the martial soul it gave him seemed to be in the process of some kind of evolution and would not have any harmful effect on him. This made Huo Yuhao relax.
