Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 109 Soul Bone
Inside a laboratory in Mingde Hall.

yah~
"boom!"

The box-shaped instrument, glowing with a blue light, exploded suddenly in a flash of light resembling a short circuit, and the emerald green light inside it blasted out in all directions.

Finally, it was barely blocked by the soul-guided shield that was activated in an emergency.

Click~ Hiss...

After the light shield disappeared, all that remained where the instrument had been was a pile of spherical emerald green frost and a chilling aura emanating from it.

"Miss Meng, you made the right choice."

"This soul bone does indeed possess extremely violent energy; any ice-attribute soul power introduced into it in any form will trigger a violent reaction."

The researcher, wearing an eighth-level badge around his neck, took off his goggles and looked at the soul bone on the platform with lingering fear: "If we had chosen to absorb it on the spot, this energy surge could have even blown apart the arm of a Title Douluo!"

Upon receiving the feedback, Meng Hongchen's face paled slightly, and she subconsciously supported her left arm.

If she hadn't been extra cautious, and if the Sun and Moon Team hadn't been so powerful, she probably would have lost an arm the very night she acquired the soul bone.

It could even be life-threatening.

"Such a powerful energy surge..."

Xiao Hongchen looked at the emerald green left arm bone: "Doesn't that mean this soul bone is a useless piece of junk? -- How about I keep it to use as material for my soul guidance experiments?"

"That's not the case."

The researcher quickly interrupted, fearing that this priceless soul bone would really be used as consumables: "Judging from the test just now, the higher the temperature and the more mixed the attributes of the soul power, the stronger the fluctuations it will produce."

"Then, conversely, as long as the soul power attribute reaches the legendary ultimate ice, it might be able to perfectly match this soul bone and successfully absorb it."

"The ultimate ice..."

Meng Hongchen's expression darkened.

Her martial soul attribute doesn't even reach the level of "pure," let alone "ultimate." It seems that the Ice Explosion divine skill attached to her soul bone is completely out of her reach.

"Ultimate attributes? Doesn't that mean no one can use them?"

Xiao Hongchen curled his lip: "Instead of throwing it into the warehouse to wait for some so-called destined person, you might as well let me use it directly. At least it can still play some role."

"What you're doing is a complete waste of resources!"

The researcher's blood pressure spiked for a moment, feeling that this kid was completely impervious to reason: "This soul bone could become one of the foundations of the Sun Moon Empire, and in the future, it could help a one-in-a-million ultimate ice martial soul to completely transform!"

"Okay, okay... I don't want it anymore, alright..."

Seeing the other party's blood rushing to his head, Xiao Hongchen quickly waved his hand in concession. But judging from the expression on his face, he clearly still didn't take the Ice Explosion Soul Bone seriously.

Ultimate ice?

It's not that easy... Even including the Douluo Continent, not many ultimate martial souls have emerged in a thousand years.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Xiao Hongchen's eyes.

Not to mention, even if someone were to actually produce an ultimate martial soul right now, they would most likely rush to Shrek Academy for their life, rather than come to Sun Moon Academy, a holy land for soul masters, to cultivate.

Since you enjoy collecting, then you can keep it!
It's best to let it rot and spoil!
"Let's go, Dream."

Under the researcher's twitching gaze, Xiao Hongchen put his hands behind his head and leisurely waved them out: "Time to cultivate."

"Ah~"

With a look of resentment, Meng Hongchen glanced at the soul bone one last time, then bowed slightly to the researcher: "Thank you for your help. I'm so sorry to have taken up your time!"

That's more like it; he seems to be of noble birth.

Unfortunately, he has a silly older brother.

The researcher shook his head helplessly: "Actually, don't be too disappointed. Mingde Hall still has a left arm soul bone with a lifespan of 30,000 years, and the attributes are just right. Exchanging the two bones isn't out of the question." "Really?"

Meng Hongchen's expression softened slightly: "Then I'll have to trouble you for help."

……

"The ultimate ice."

Huo Yuhao exhaled a breath of cold air and reached out his hand.

A shadowy figure filled with a cold aura emerged from his body, but unlike the previous icy blue, it presented a slightly illusory cold white.

Through this period of training, the range of temperature changes he can make has been continuously expanded, and the total amount of soul power he can influence at the same time has also increased.

To this day, he is able to release his second martial soul without making a sound.

"When you can bring your martial soul temperature to the freezing point, you will have completed the first stage of your cultivation."

Xue Di nodded in satisfaction: "At that time, you can try to go a step further and get involved in phase transitions and shaping."

Although she has only taught two students so far, Hyotei and Huo Yuhao, the latter's performance is undoubtedly much more satisfactory to her.

This applies to both learning attitude and learning efficiency.

—Hyotei has yet to produce a single piece of ice that transcends the realm of extreme perfection!
Countless millions of years have passed, yet they still haven't taken the first step in mastering temperature control techniques!
How else can the Snow Empress teach us!
"Snow...snow girl?"

Hyotei, sitting on the golden sand, suddenly shuddered, noticing the resentful gaze from Yuki-tei: "What's wrong?"

"nothing."

Xue Di withdrew her gaze and silently equated Bing Di with trash in her heart.

If she didn't teach a single normal student, she would really think there was something wrong with her teaching ability.

"Phase transitions and shaping..."

Just by muttering those two words, Huo Yuhao instantly thought of a certain soul skill: "Is Ice Emperor's Protection a manifestation of this kind of technique?"

"In principle, that is indeed the case. However, the Ice Emperor's Protection also incorporates power from the Ice Emperor, which can give you defensive power comparable to the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion."

The Snow Empress's eyes showed even greater satisfaction: "If we had to quantify it, the Ice Emperor's Body Protection at full power is just enough to withstand one of your own Emperor Sword strikes."

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment.

According to this logic, wouldn't it mean that even if the Ice and Snow Emperors were at the same cultivation level, the Snow Emperor could still shatter the Ice Emperor with just two moves of the Emperor Sword?

"It is precisely because of the involvement of additional forces that trying to comprehend techniques by following the Ice Emperor's protective instincts will only lead one astray..."

Xue Di snapped her fingers in her spiritual sea, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Come on~ take a closer look!"

Instantly, the ice-blue spirit ring on Huo Yuhao's spirit spontaneously lit up, and a cold current surged forth in his somewhat surprised gaze, condensing into a ball of water in front of him.

Then, a small burst of fine snow suddenly exploded, opening up a tiny stage only a foot square, revealing a miniature version of the Snow Emperor standing in the center.

The little figure glided and twisted, moving with the wind and snow, dancing in the frost, making merry with the colliding of icicles, and then gathering clouds and mist to form clothes, performing a solo dance in the cold sky before Huo Yuhao's eyes.

'This level of control… no wonder she's the Snow Empress!'

Huo Yuhao watched the performance quietly, and sincerely admired it from the bottom of his heart: "I wonder how long it will take me to reach such a subtle and divine level of skill."

"Ha~"

Xue Di shook her head with a smile and sighed softly, muttering in a whisper that was barely audible to others: "What you should be considering is... how long it will take before you surpass me."

　I just realized something...

　　The original story begins with the second-year students participating in the competition, going through a series of events before Moon and others receive intensive training. After more than a year, Moon's soul returns to the Golden Tree. Half a year later, he goes to the Sun and Moon. Three years later, he returns, and after going through a lot of messy events, he finally participates in the competition at age 17...

　　Was it eaten for a year in between?
