Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 5: Shocked, Lingbing Douluo is the incarnation of Ice Emperor?

In the elevator to the tenth floor, Hua Yichen looked at Huo Yuhao beside him and asked:
"Since you want to explore the soul, have you heard of the legend of the first tower master?"

"Is it that Spirit Ice Douluo?"

Huo Yuhao's expression remained unchanged, revealing a hint of curiosity. "There's very little about him. I only know that he created the Spirit Transferring Pagoda and developed the Soul Spirit Method. I don't know anything else."

Not to mention the legends, he was a reclusive Douluo ten thousand years ago, and was no less powerful than the Haotian Sect. Except for the fact that he became more active after the creation of the Spirit Transferring Tower, he rarely appeared in his true form in public.

What the world knows about him is only his one martial soul - the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and even his spiritual eyes are unknown.

Otherwise, he would not have appeared in the Spirit Pagoda with his original appearance and spirit eye martial spirit.

Hua Yichen nodded. "The legends left by the first tower master are indeed few, but the legacy he left behind for the Spirit Pagoda is enduring. It is also because of him that the current environment where soul beasts and humans can coexist peacefully has been created."

Having said that, Hua Yichen paused and said bluntly:
"You haven't learned the relevant knowledge yet, so some of the concepts may be difficult to understand. Just treat it as a story."

"In reality, with the current strength of the Federation, it would be easy to destroy the soul beast colonies. Logically, the relationship between humans and soul beasts would be extremely tense. However, the first generation of the Tower Master seemed to have anticipated this scenario. The soul contract method and the method of breaking the contract he left behind eased the conflict between the two sides."

As Huo Yuhao listened, he recalled every detail of the creation of the soul system.

The soul technique he left behind is different from the one left by Huo Yuhao in the original novel.

After all, his father Yi is still alive!

With Mr. Yi's knowledge and experience, his research on souls has become more in-depth, and he is able to make certain improvements and restrictions, and has added soul contracts to the soul system!

According to the contract, in order to absorb a soul, one needs to sign a soul contract with the soul's consent, otherwise it will fail.

After signing the contract, the soul spirit can grow with the soul master. If the soul master is strong enough, the soul spirit can even evolve on its own. The soul master can contact the soul spirit through the contract, communicate in advance, and choose the soul skills by himself!

For this soul contract, Huo Yuhao only referenced the blood contract of the Holy Demon Continent and did not include a mandatory master-servant contract. This fundamentally eliminated the possibility of captive and enslaved soul beasts as in the original novel!
Want to force the soul to sign a contract?

Yes, but you must first crack the 28 security procedures left by Mr. Yi in the soul contract and reverse-engineer the cultivation system of the Holy Demon Continent, otherwise it would be a daydream.

In addition to the soul contract, he also introduced a method to terminate the contract, which allows both parties to the contract to terminate the contract with mutual consent.

Ten thousand years ago, the soul was just born, and all soul masters could only obtain the soul according to his method.

In other words, they have to go through two steps: finding a soul beast willing to be a soul spirit and signing a contract in the Soul Pagoda.

But how many soul beasts in the world are willing to be souls?

At this time, Huo Yuhao gave everyone a clear way out.

He reached a cooperation with Di Tian and Xue Di!

With the approval of the leaders of the two major soul beast settlements, a lot of sponsorship was naturally attracted, and the number of soul beasts willing to become soul spirits increased sharply.

Then, it is time for the method of breaking the contract to take effect.

The soul is a kind of life that can grow. So what will happen if the soul master cancels the contract before his death and passes the soul to the next generation, and this continues for several generations?

Hua Yichen gave the answer.

"...Because of the method of breaking the contract, a most powerful soul was born, that is - the legendary soul!"

"In some soul master families, powerful souls that continue to inherit and grow become more and more powerful over the years, have a close relationship with the soul master family, and their voice increases year by year. Eventually, they become a part of the soul master family and become guardian spirits."

"The heirs of those families all rely on them to select. After all, the soul contract requires the consent of the soul to be signed. Only the soul that has signed the soul contract can cancel the contract and not disappear with the soul master."

The soul elevator door opened, and Hua Yichen led the way out. He said to Huo Yuhao who followed him out:
"The existence of legendary spirits siding with the spirit beasts has completely destroyed the opportunities for radicals who want to raise spirit beasts and study spirits. That's why some people have slandered the First Generation Tower Master as a transformed spirit beast. Since you've joined the Spirit Tower, you're bound to hear these rumors. Don't let them affect you."

"Also, when studying souls, don't be too reckless. Harming souls will have a negative impact."

Huo Yuhao nodded, then asked curiously, "According to the rumors, what soul beast is Lingbing Douluo transformed into?" "Ice Emperor."

"Ice…Emperor?"

Huo Yuhao looked a little strange.

Hua Yichen nodded slightly and sighed:
"That's right, the Ice Emperor, ranked seventh among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts ten thousand years ago—the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion! After all, Spirit Ice Douluo's martial soul is the Ice Jade Scorpion!"

During the era when Lingbing Douluo appeared, the Ice Emperor of the Far North also disappeared, and remained so for many years, with no news of him being heard.

It is reasonable to speculate that it was during that time that the Ice Emperor completed his reconstruction and eventually appeared as Spirit Ice Douluo.

Because during the reconstruction, he saw the power of the human world and had a premonition that soul beasts would one day be eliminated, so he took advantage of his own soul beasts and created the soul contract to deeply bind humans and souls.

This is what those who slandered the first Tower Master said.

It was quite reasonable, and even Huo Yuhao had an indescribable expression on his face.

What could he say?

If Snow Empress hadn't been around, would Su Tong have become her incarnation? Is the Spirit Pagoda actually a private land created by the Far North?
The imagination of later generations is really big...

The two walked into a room together in silence.

This room is nearly 100 square meters in size and is filled with various large instruments. There are yellow light balls inside, which are actually various kinds of souls.

However, Hua Yichen's goals are not these.

He waved away the staff here and came to the instrument in the center of the room to operate it for a while. Three pillars rose in front of him, and there was a yellow light ball on each pillar.

"These spirits are the 700-year-old Ice Silkworm, the 600-year-old Purple Spirit Wolf, and the 700-year-old Silver Beast. According to the research of the Spirit Pagoda, the spirit skills they can provide are very good."

Hua Yichen pointed at a row of yellow light balls and smiled at Huo Yuhao.

"Which one would you like to choose?"

Without much hesitation, Huo Yuhao, who knew the three soul beasts quite well, walked straight to the Ice Silkworm Soul Spirit and said, "It."

Hua Yichen was a little surprised, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"why?"

"Among the three spirits, only the Ice Silkworm seems ordinary, but it can be ranked alongside the other two. It clearly has something extraordinary."

'This child is quite clever.'

Hua Yichen nodded in satisfaction at Huo Yuhao's answer. "That's right, this is the first lesson I'm going to teach you. In the Soul Age, you can choose your soul skills based on your own will, so you can't choose soul beasts based on past perspectives."

"For example, this ice silkworm, although it is a soul beast with very weak attack power, it can provide spiritual attribute soul masters with a magical skill - simulation."

"Through mental fluctuations, it can distort space and simulate various forms based on itself. Although it has no offensive capabilities, it is an excellent soul skill for supporting, trapping, and escaping."

Although he said that he was cheating people and running away, Hua Yichen's expression was normal.

It’s useless to have strong fighting ability. Only a living genius can become a strong one!
He doesn't want the genius he discovered to die halfway.

Huo Yuhao also remained calm.

It is not a crime to cheat others, but it is justifiable to escape.

Who hasn’t had enemies and a time when a strategic retreat is needed?
A genius who grows up is a strong one, while one who does not grow up is just a pile of dirt!
He and Hua Yichen agreed on this point.
