[I heard the echo of strong luck!!]
Huo Yuhao had also heard the bell toll again just now, and felt the [Strong Luck] echo engraved on his second martial soul.
He just hadn’t checked it immediately because he had already figured out the mechanics of the Echo in his heart.
Seeing Skydream’s excitement, he felt it was better not to ruin the mood.
First, he would check what spirit skills a million-year spirit beast—who hadn’t wasted soul power origin to open a second martial soul slot for him—had brought him.
He had already felt the physical changes and aptitude improvements, so what surprises could the spirit skills and bone brought by the unconscious expenditure of eleven years of accumulated luck (under the [Strong Luck] echo) give him?
Soon, Huo Yuhao fully understood all the gifts Skydream had bestowed.
Body Martial Soul: Spirit Eyes.
Million-Year First Spirit Ring Skills: (Currently manifesting at a 500-year age limit.)
[Spirit Detection Sharing]: Observes the environment within the detection range from an omniscient perspective.
As spiritual power grows, the range expands.
Can share all sights, sounds, and thoughts with allies within the range.[Spirit Shock]: Condenses and compresses spiritual power into a single point, dealing direct damage to any creature with a soul.[Spirit Interference Domain]: A domain skill that interferes with the enemy’s spirit and twists space through spiritual fluctuations to create simulations.
Within the domain, spiritual power is suppressed, and the enemy’s soul is disrupted.
Skydream Iceworm External Spirit Bone – Iceworm Slough – Skin.
External Spirit Bone Skills:
[Iceworm Metamorphosis]: Silk body attachment, breaking the cocoon to become a butterfly.
After breaking the cocoon, all statuses are restored to their peak.
Can be used once every three days.
The cocoon cannot be broken by anything other than an Ultimate attribute; all other attack energies are absorbed or reflected.[Iceworm True Body]: While in the spirit bone skill state, spiritual power is tripled, and spiritual power consumption is drastically reduced.External Spirit Bone Passive Skill: Maximally immune to ice-attribute damage, with extremely high affinity for the ice element.
“Overpowered!”
Even though Huo Yuhao had mentally prepared himself, he still couldn’t help but marvel once he truly understood the skills Skydream had given him.
He knew that Skydream’s remaining soul power origin was simply insufficient to achieve this.
Let alone providing a domain skill while preserving an external spirit bone with two absurdly powerful skills!
Given Skydream’s origin, just keeping a regular spirit bone would have meant she hadn’t lived all those years in vain.
The only explanation for this outcome was that, under the effect of [Strong Luck], his status as Douluo Planet’s “Child of Destiny”—his eleven years of accumulated luck—had kicked in.
Do you understand the gold standard of a “Child of Destiny” that Douluo Planet only produces once every ten thousand years?!
Of course, while luck brought him immense benefits, his accumulated luck had been mostly consumed by the [Strong Luck] echo, leaving little behind.
But Huo Yuhao didn’t mind; this luck wasn’t unreplenishable.
Besides, during those years of abuse and humiliation the original Huo endured, his luck had essentially never manifested—or was extremely weak.
He knew clearly that as he grew stronger step by step, the truly massive power of luck still awaited him in the future.
And the [Strong Luck] echo wouldn’t manifest his luck uncontrollably like this again.
[Strong Luck] was now engraved on his second martial soul alongside [Fate]; even if he wanted to activate it, it would only happen during life-or-death emergencies or moments concerning crucial future opportunities.
A scenario like this would never happen twice.
Through the two consecutive bell tolls, Huo Yuhao had also completely figured out the mechanism for obtaining Echoes.
The [Fate] echo happened because he inherited everything from the original Huo Yuhao.
Right before the original died, his unwillingness and hatred briefly spiked his emotions to an extreme value.
The [Strong Luck] echo occurred because he was already the Child of Destiny of this era, and he had just obtained two massive cheat codes in Skydream and Electrolux.
During Skydream’s sacrifice, his future instantly went from pitch-black to boundless skies.
At that moment, his state of mind—or belief—went from one extreme instantly to another, triggering the [Strong Luck] echo.
Huo Yuhao grasped the word “extreme.”
The Echo was more like a conclusion.
Because of the Bell of the End martial soul, every time he experienced an extreme event where a certain belief reached a threshold, he could awaken an Echo.
This belief could take any form: wanting to defeat someone, or an intensely extreme desire for something…
Since the martial soul had engraved [Fate] and [Strong Luck], it could be deduced that he could obtain more than one Echo, each with different prerequisites.
Echoes would fuse with the End martial soul, becoming one of its fundamental abilities—not quite a spirit skill, but better than one.
More like a martial soul trait or innate attribute.
The strength of the Echo was closely related to his own power and certain wondrous characteristics.
Having figured everything out, Huo Yuhao felt exceptionally relaxed.
However, he wouldn’t deliberately seek out extreme events to apply to himself; that would be putting the cart before the horse and would only drive him further away from obtaining Echoes.
What he needed to do now was abandon such thoughts and forget about it.
Only then would it be possible to gain more Echoes.
“How is it, how is it, Yuhao?
Aren’t the abilities Sis brought you super awesome?
Honestly, Sis also finds it incredible.
Just now, Sis only felt a mysterious power acting upon me, and then I suddenly achieved things I fundamentally couldn’t do before!
Oh right, I also heard that very mysterious bell toll…
what was it called…
oh right, [I heard the echo of strong luck].
Yuhao, tell Sis, did that sound have something to do with your second martial soul?”
After all, the second martial soul Huo Yuhao had shown her earlier was exactly a blood-red giant bell.
Adding those two sudden bell tolls, it was hard not to connect the dots.
Huo Yuhao nodded.
“You guessed right, Skydream.
Those two bell tolls were indeed related to my second martial soul.”
Huo Yuhao detailed his speculations to Skydream, and she grew even more excited.
“Sis knew it!
Yuhao, you can always come up with something new for Sis.
This way, your bizarre second martial soul is absolutely worthy of being called a god-level martial soul!
No, even stronger!
This gives Sis’s future arrangements an even higher chance of success!”
Next, Skydream chattered away about her experiences over the years, pouring her heart out about her god-making plan.
She even revealed her plan to take him to the Far North to scheme for the Ice Empress once his soul power met the conditions.
Skydream saw infinite possibilities in Huo Yuhao.
Now, they shared honor and disgrace, their fates entirely bound together.
She didn’t want any concealment on her part to cause a rift between them later.
“Don’t worry, Skydream.
When the time comes, I’ll help you persuade the Ice Empress to become the intelligent spirit ring for my second martial soul.”
“Oh my, little Yuhao isn’t being good.
You should say Sis will help you.”
“Alright, whatever you say.”
The Skydream Iceworm had no gender.
Although Huo Yuhao didn’t know why she referred to herself as “Sis,” he didn’t care.
He actually had his own thoughts regarding the Far North.
Of course, he’d pass on the messy drama.
She loves her (Skydream -> Ice Empress), but she loves her (Ice Empress -> Snow Empress), yet she wants to eat her (Ice Empress -> Skydream).
Writing out the story of those three would be enough to stage a forbidden love drama of the Far North, far more melodramatic than a soap opera.
He was too lazy to eat that melon.
