Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 165 Time is Approaching
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched helplessly: "Are you alright?"

He could clearly understand the strange things Xue Di said, but it also seemed like he couldn't understand them at all.

What about humans and the seven emotions...?

"fine."

Xue Di shook her head, avoiding his gaze, and turned her attention to the outside world, momentarily lost in thought: "It's snowing?"

"Snowing."

Using his soul power to sense her, Huo Yuhao nodded a beat late, but still couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

'Are they assessing my ice control skills?'

Glancing once more at the snow-covered window, Huo Yuhao seemed to discover the truth in a flash of inspiration.

It's understandable that the other party has some doubts. After all, he hasn't touched ice control techniques for almost two months, spending all his time in his dormitory working on his mental energy.

"Don't worry, Snow Empress! I'll always remember your amazing performance!"

'well? '

Xue Di turned around in surprise, and then saw Huo Yuhao's eyes, which were inexplicably ignited with fighting spirit.

"Although my skills aren't quite up to par yet, at least I can do this kind of thing~"

Faced with this mentor and friend, Huo Yuhao rarely showed a desire to perform. He clasped his hands together and then separated them, condensing a perfect blue ice bead in his palm.

In the very center of that ice bead, a layer of hazy, deep blue water ripples appeared, and a pure white figure gracefully unfolded its body, its icy skirt fluttering as if about to move, frozen in that instant.

"This is--"

Xue Di's pupils trembled slightly, and her voice was stopped by the inexplicable surge of emotion within her, unable to utter any more words.

"A fleeting moment of your solo dance."

Huo Yuhao's lips curled up, genuinely wanting a compliment: "I'm watching very carefully and learning very seriously, I guarantee a 100% restoration!"

"Ahem... Of course, this is limited to scene reconstruction. That miniature Snow Empress figure had too few details, so I simply copied your movements from that time..."

"Thank you."

Before Huo Yuhao could finish explaining his ingenious ideas, Xue Di smiled warmly at his increasingly surprised expression, reached out and took the ice puck, holding it in her hand: "I like it very much. As a return gift, I will give you a solo dance."

"Huh? No need... no—"

Huo Yuhao was about to refuse when Tianmeng, who had climbed up behind him, propped herself up and delivered a powerful headbutt: "Shut up!"

With a nearly tangible spiritual body, Tianmeng was finally able to inflict some effective damage. Her powerful strike even caused Huo Yuhao's external body to experience phantom pain, causing him to instinctively clutch his lower back.

"Snow Emperor, I thank you on his behalf."

After dealing with someone, Tianmeng bowed with a beaming smile. Although it was somewhat comical to do this with his silkworm body, his attitude was extremely sincere.

The Ice and Snow Maidens clan is born from pure ice element, and the Snow Empress's foundation is even more exceptional, making her almost the purest being born from ice-attribute elemental power on the Douluo Continent.

A graceful solo dance in the far north can bring about a transformative realization of the ice element.

"It's not necessary."

Looking at Tianmeng blocking her way, Xue Di's eyes flashed with helplessness: "Since we have decided to bet on him, I will naturally do my best."

She managed to turn a simple gift into a favor, and she couldn't quite tell if the silkworm had any brains at all.

It seems that the already limited wisdom always tends to flow in strange directions.

"So... how did I perform just now?"

After waiting for a long time, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but ask the question. "Your performance was indeed good, but you still need to keep practicing."

With no interest in sight, Xue Di calmly said, "When we can achieve the coexistence of the three states and allow the ice sculpture to move smoothly, we can move into the next stage—heat transfer."

"Understood!"

Perhaps it was because he saw the clear progress bar that Huo Yuhao suddenly became excited.

Of course, the snow that is now covering the entire capital is also perfect for him to practice his ice control technique.

"Mental detection".

Sitting upright on the bed, Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and opened his vertical pupils between his brows. His spiritual power expanded dramatically under the multiple amplifications, including the spiritual light and his domain.

Under the invisible spiritual vision, this blazing spiritual wave did not surge outwards, but rather, under almost subtle control, it contained the snowflakes outside the window.

Temperature may rise or fall, and matter may be in the state of ice or water.

All movement occurred within an area smaller than a fingertip.

And these tiny points controlled by mental power number in the four digits within the entire mental detection range! Thousands of points of light quietly extinguished as the snowflakes fell, and then gradually lit up again from the sky.

Gradually, after getting used to this operation, the number of light spots also increased rapidly, all the way to tens of thousands and even higher orders of magnitude.

In this training that explored the limits, less than five minutes later, a double image involuntarily slid across Huo Yuhao's body, assisting his mental power in completing the feat.

Twins!
Having cultivated to this point, as long as he is not in battle, Huo Yuhao can use two martial souls simultaneously by relying on his ability to operate his mental power and soul power independently.

"I'm almost at the end of my journey... I wonder how Xiao Xiao's progress is."

His path complements Xiao Xiao's perfectly. If he can learn the skill of manipulating soul power to maintain two martial souls, the two can be combined to form a true twin entity.

"There are still more than four months left."

In the dimly lit bedroom sat a figure of icy blue light, enveloped in a double image. The figure slowly closed their golden eyes: "Almost there, almost there~"

……

Why does time seem to drag on so slowly?

Xiao Xiao lay on the familiar lawn, basking in the sun, when she suddenly realized that this seemingly long period of time had only lasted for about half a year: "He hasn't even sent a single message..."

During this period, apart from the occasional battle, she just lay here, and even she herself was not quite sure what she was thinking.

I just felt a sense of peace.

The soul power within his body became increasingly stable under a peaceful state of mind, without revealing the slightest residual effect.

Having finally adjusted her state, Xiao Xiao lazily raised her hand in the warm light, and a long flute appeared in her hand, gently lifting a cauldron with soul power.

The auras of the two martial souls were one light and agile, and the other heavy and profound, but the soul power fluctuations they carried were subtly coupled and became one.

"The reunion gift is all prepared... but the person is still on the other side of the world."

Xiao Xiao propped herself up on the tripod and spun the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron. Suddenly, she thought of the girl she had seen in the Star Dou Great Forest, and a bad premonition rose in her heart.

'Could that guy be looking for Huo Yuhao?'

Recalling that unpleasant first meeting, as the details were pieced together, this premonition seemed to be getting closer and closer to the truth.

"...Don't do that."

Xiao Xiao suddenly let out a low wail.

Three people are already chaotic enough!
