“Haha, finally, Sis has encountered a human with a spiritual attribute!
It’s a pity Sis can’t cry, otherwise I’d truly be streaming tears of joy.”
It’s here.
Huo Yuhao’s eyes flickered.
Suppressing his surging excitement, he looked at the cracking ground not far away.
The surrounding temperature instantly plummeted.
A gigantic, seven-meter-long ice worm appeared before him.
Its body was encircled by ten halos, shining with dazzling golden light.
^(*￣(oo)￣)^
Huo Yuhao had to admit, even though he was mentally prepared, his first glimpse of the Skydream Iceworm deeply shocked him.
“So fat~”
A few dark lines seemed to appear on the Skydream Iceworm’s forehead.
Did this kid just say I was fat?
Don’t deny it!
Even though you whispered, I still heard you!
“Ahem…” Adjusting her emotions, the Skydream Iceworm began her self-introduction to prove her awesomeness.
“Let me introduce myself first.
Sis is a being who has cultivated for a million years…”
After a self-introduction filled with personal bias, Huo Yuhao’s eyebrow twitched, but he cooperated by putting on a shocked expression.
“Then, Skydream, why did you seek me out?”
The Skydream Iceworm wriggled her body, looking at Huo Yuhao haughtily.
“Listen well, Sis is going to become your spirit ring!
That’s right, you are going to obtain the first unprecedented intelligent spirit ring in the history of the Douluo Continent!
How about it?
Are you surprised?
Are you shocked?
Don’t you feel incredibly happy?
Even Sis is a little jealous of you!”
But right now, Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought.
The Skydream Iceworm didn’t care much and was about to move forward when Huo Yuhao raised his hand and asked solemnly, “Skydream…
are you saying you will sacrifice yourself to become my intelligent spirit ring, right?”
Skydream was taken aback.
“Of course!
Meeting Sis is your good fortune.
Stop talking nonsense, Sis is coming in~.
Don’t worry kid, Sis will be gentle and cherish you, it won’t hurt too much your first time.”
“Wait!”
Huo Yuhao knew exactly what Skydream’s sacrifice would entail, so he hastily summoned his second martial soul.
“Skydream, there’s something I forgot to tell you.
The reason I have a spiritual attribute is because my first martial soul is the Spirit Eyes—a body martial soul encompassing the eyes, brain, cerebral cortex, and central nervous system.
In addition to that, I also possess a second martial soul.
I call it the Bell of the End.”
This revelation instantly left the Skydream Iceworm stumped.
Twin martial souls?
This skinny, clearly malnourished kid actually had twin martial souls—a body martial soul and a tool martial soul?!
Good heavens, what kind of luck had she stumbled into?
After being drained by those bastards for so many years, was this God’s compensation?!
But as she thought about it, she suddenly fell silent.
This made things tricky.
If this kid was a twin martial soul master, should she still use her remaining, limited soul power origin to open up an exclusive slot for his second martial soul?
But if she didn’t do that, what about her Bingbing?
Just then, Huo Yuhao’s voice sounded again.
“Skydream, my second martial soul has the ability to engrave exclusive traits.
That is to say, if my second martial soul absorbs a spirit ring, the martial soul itself will inevitably gain abilities matching the attribute of the spirit beast that provided the ring.”
This ability was something Huo Yuhao had understood after seeing the word [Fate] engraved on his second martial soul following that bell toll.
After that echo, he could clearly sense that his second martial soul could slightly manipulate the profoundly mysterious power of fate.
The implications were obvious.
Although he didn’t yet understand the mechanics behind generating these “Echoes,” the martial soul’s engraving ability felt like instinct, clearly perceivable to him.
In other words, his second martial soul could potentially generate more Echoes in the future, and whenever it absorbed a spirit ring, it would permanently acquire that beast’s attribute—be it ice, fire, life, or space…
The Skydream Iceworm was overjoyed.
“What?
Are you saying that if your second martial soul absorbs the spirit ring of a beast with the Ultimate Ice attribute, your second martial soul will possess the Ultimate Ice attribute?”
“You could say that, yes.”
Hearing this, Skydream’s anxious heart finally settled.
This made things perfect.
After all, she would have to find a way to persuade Bingbing later, and for Bingbing to become an intelligent spirit ring without losing her consciousness and falling into a deep slumber like a normal sacrifice, an empty ice-attribute second martial soul slot wasn’t strictly necessary anymore.
Having lived for so many years, although her combat ability was poor, she had researched this path extensively.
This wasn’t an issue at all.
And this meant she wouldn’t need to open up a second martial soul slot, allowing her to use her excess—or rather, limited—soul power origin for other purposes!
“Kid, Sis has to admit I looked down on you just now.
Your appearance is far too deceiving.
Such high talent, yet such low soul power—you almost fooled Sis entirely!
Alright, no more nonsense, Sis knows what to do now.
We’re starting!
Bet your future on this, and wildly accept Sis’s shot!”
This time, Huo Yuhao didn’t stop her.
His earlier words were a subtle reminder, and he trusted she understood his meaning.
Vast spiritual origin power surged and wildly poured out.
The terrifying pressure instantly knocked out Tang Ya and Beibei not far away, sending countless spirit beasts fleeing in terror, whining continuously.
At exactly that moment, the sky suddenly split open.
A small grayish-white orb descended, attracted by the commotion, and plunged straight into Huo Yuhao’s spiritual sea without a word.
“To think that this old man still has a shred of divine sense left to survive.”
A hoarse voice echoed out, leaving behind a single sentence before quickly falling silent again, as if nothing had ever happened.
But the massive changes hadn’t stopped.
That majestic, fateful giant bell tolled once again.
[I heard the echo of strong luck!!]
This time, it didn’t stir the power of fate, but the power of luck upon Huo Yuhao began to change.
Luck—an almost uncontrollable force—actually materialized into substance.
The exclusive luck of the “Child of Destiny” Huo Yuhao, accumulated over eleven years, manifested and slowly applied itself to Huo Yuhao, who was undergoing Skydream’s sacrifice.
And the exclusive [Strong Luck] echo belonging to Huo Yuhao, just like the [Fate] echo, was engraved onto his second martial soul.
In the distance, Di Tian, who had been investigating the previous [Fate] bell toll, frowned and instantly changed direction, flying toward Huo Yuhao’s location.
Inside the spiritual sea.
After experiencing a scare and tentatively gesturing a few times to realize she was no match for the gray orb, the Skydream Iceworm obediently shelved her own schemes.
Coexistence it is!
Steady, playing it safe is my magic weapon for surviving this long!
Still, she was thrilled.
“Hahaha, Sis has finally found her home!
You can’t blame the environment for bad luck.
Just you wait, you bastards deep in the Star Dou Great Forest!
One day, Sis will bring little Yuhao back to clean you all up!
…Strange, why did that scary bell ring again?
And why can’t I view a portion of Yuhao’s memories?
Oh well, who doesn’t have their little secrets?
Sis doesn’t even care to look.
Though…
Yuhao’s childhood was truly quite unfortunate…”
At this time, Huo Yuhao also woke up in his spiritual sea.
Watching Skydream constantly wriggling her body, he only felt she looked exactly like a hungry silkworm baby.
Seeing Huo Yuhao awake, Skydream popped up, unable to hold back her bragging for even a second.
“Hahaha, Yuhao, you absolutely can’t imagine how much benefit Sis has brought you!
How thoroughly I’ve changed your aptitude and appearance, and what incredibly powerful spirit skills I’ve given you!
Oh, and originally, Sis planned to open up a second martial soul slot for you, but because of your second martial soul, Sis abandoned that idea.
Instead, I used all the remaining origin to improve your aptitude, and I even brought you a spirit bone and a spirit bone attached skill that you could never have imagined!”
Huo Yuhao checked his own condition and instantly felt that his body’s aptitude was infinitely better than before.
He had grown taller; though still slender, he stood exceptionally straight.
Even his facial features were now among the absolute peak of the continent.
His hair had turned ice-blue, his features were chiseled and incredibly handsome, and his eyes were a somewhat shattered-looking lake blue.
They carried a cold arrogance and a touch of indifference, giving him an aloof and lazily distant aura.
The bodily deficits caused by years of malnutrition—or rather, his martial soul mutation—had been completely remedied.
Although he didn’t know the exact changes, his innate soul power was definitely no longer level one.
He also caught the key point in Skydream’s words: a spirit bone and a spirit bone skill?
He knew that in the original timeline, Skydream Iceworm, having exhausted her soul power and origin, hadn’t provided him with any spirit bone or skills.
Was this a deviation from the timeline?
Regardless, it was a good thing.
Skydream, completely oblivious to Huo Yuhao spacing out, continued to introduce her gifts.
“Ahem, Yuhao, you space out while I talk!
Your Sister Skydream brought you a full five skills!
Five!
Three spirit ring skills, and two spirit bone skills, one of which is a domain skill that countless soul masters would kill for!
Do you know what this means?
Let Sis tell you: combined with your second martial soul, your current aptitude, and the million-year spiritual origin Sis sealed away to increase your spiritual power and spirit ring age limits…
you are now the most genius teenage soul master on the continent.
Bar none!”
Skydream practically talked herself into a climax.
Huo Yuhao temporarily stopped thinking and revealed a heartfelt smile.
“Then let me see just how powerful the spirit skills and spirit bone skills you’ve brought me really are, Skydream.”
“Hehe, Sis guarantees you absolutely won’t be disappointed!”
