Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 35 Xuanzi is going to lead the team, danger!

Seeing Huo Yuhao endure the excruciating pain without uttering a sound, as if he didn't know what pain was, Bingdi couldn't help but sigh.

"Compared to me, the pain of merging with the Snow Empress was even greater. Tianmeng, Yuhao is only eleven years old now, right? Such a young child, yet he has such a strong will. It's truly terrifying."

"Hehe, Yuhao once used his body to devour an even more terrifying flame."

When this topic comes up, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm is very proud, feeling that clinging to Huo Yuhao's coattails was the best decision she ever made.

As the fusion neared its end, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm began to exert its power, working with the Snow Empress to seal her original power within the Sea of ​​Spirit.

Before long, seven ice-white orbs of light appeared in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

It represents the primordial power of the Snow Emperor for nearly 700,000 years.

The Seal of Life opened on Huo Yuhao's forehead, and a rich and pure life force flowed down from his head into his body, repairing the remaining injuries and making the Snow Empress's arm bones fit better.

Just as Huo Yuhao was sensing the effects of his soul skill, Praying for Snow, the Snow Empress's clear voice entered his mind.

"Yuhao, the main effect of this soul skill is to summon snow clouds and bring down icy cold air within the area covered by the surrounding domain."

"The quality and quantity of cold energy determine the range of the domain. When the cold energy is developed to its limit, even if the domain is closed, the surrounding area will still become a natural forbidden zone that ordinary soul masters cannot approach, just like the far north."

Huo Yuhao understood a bit: it was a soul skill that purely relied on cold energy; the effect it could produce depended on how the cold energy was used.

Seeing Huo Yuhao endure unimaginable pain, Xue Di actually admired him quite a bit, and her tone was filled with concern.

"Senior Yi, was the soul ritual between Yuhao and me successful?"

"Yes, the most difficult stage has passed, and Yuhao is adapting to your power." Elder Yi nodded slightly.

Then Xue Di asked a question she had been pondering for a long time, hoping that Electrolux would be generous in offering his advice.

"Senior Yi, in your lifetime you reached the level of a god. In your opinion, what is the greatest significance of becoming a god...? Immortality?"

Xue Di felt that the reason why she and Bing Di were willing to become Huo Yuhao's souls, besides the so-called conspiracy to become gods, was that they were unwilling to perish in the heavenly tribulation, so they wanted to survive in this form.

Electrolux pondered for a moment, recalling the cultivation system of this plane, "because I haven't personally witnessed the power of the gods in this plane."

"Therefore, I am not clear about the difference between the gods of this world and the 'gods' I understand."

Electrolux looked at Snow Empress and said, "You are soul beasts, and your main pursuit is eternal life. In this respect, you are still somewhat inferior to the 'god' that I pursue."

Then Elder Yi turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao, his eyes filled with strong confidence and high expectations for him.

"However, I believe that Yuhao will achieve far greater success than the so-called God of Emotions this time. I cannot even predict how high he will go in the future. Perhaps the god I seek will be proven in Yuhao."

……

When Huo Yuhao fully regained consciousness by the hot spring at the top of the snow mountain, all his injuries had healed, and he felt refreshed and full of energy.

He took out the Xuanzhong Ruler from his storage ring, swung it around a few times, and with a thought, a continuous stream of cold energy burst forth from his palm.

Almost instantly, the moisture in the surrounding air condensed into beautiful ice flowers, adhering to the surface of the Xuanzhong Ruler and emitting a chill. The originally dark and ancient Xuanzhong Ruler was transformed into an ice-blue color.

Huo Yuhao slung the icy blue Xuanzhong Ruler, which was shrouded in a chilling aura, over his shoulder, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

"I've been stuck at level 20 for so many days, it's time to have some fun leveling up."

A beam of icy white light shot out, and the Snow Empress appeared before Huo Yuhao in a spiritual form. Even after becoming a spirit, she remained noble and beautiful, pure and extraordinary.

"Are you awake now?"

Huo Yuhao looked at Xue Di and blinked, "How long did this fusion with you last in total?"

"One week." Xue Di stood to the side, her fair arms wrapped around her shoulders, and softly praised Huo Yuhao.

"You have good willpower. No wonder you didn't utter a sound even after I broke your arm several times."

"Snow Empress, our physiques are incomparable. You are a Soul Beast with a strength of nearly 700,000, while I am merely a Soul Master who has acquired the second ring. Even a small move from you can severely injure me."

Huo Yuhao smiled and responded. He looked inward and saw that after successfully merging with the Snow Empress, a continuous stream of icy white light flowed through his body, nourishing his bones and meridians.

Looking at his crystal-clear, jade-like skin, Huo Yuhao could clearly feel that his physical strength had undergone a qualitative leap. The Xuan Heavy Ruler felt much lighter on his shoulders, and his body was growing taller and stronger.

Hyotei swayed her scorpion legs and crawled over with a creaking sound. Looking at Huo Yuhao, whose features were several times softer than before, she said with a hint of jealousy.

"Merging with Xue Di first makes a difference; she looks much better overall."

"Really?" Huo Yuhao was quite happy to hear this; becoming more handsome is never a bad thing.

Xue Di smiled slightly, and with a wave of her hand, the ice flowers solidified into a smooth mirror, which appeared out of thin air in front of Huo Yuhao.

His exquisite face, reflected in the mirror, resembled a male version of Xue Di.

Judging from his expression, he was still the familiar blue-haired man, but his skin had become as delicate and fair as snow, and his azure eyes were even brighter, giving him an ethereal air.

Huo Yuhao clicked his tongue and said half-jokingly, "Snow Empress, now that you've become someone who can make a living off your looks, it's easy for me to start thinking about taking fewer detours."

The Snow Empress glanced at him. "With my nearly seven hundred thousand years of cultivation, merging with me, wouldn't that be considered avoiding many detours?"

"That's true." Huo Yuhao smiled.

Seeing that the Soul Spirit ritual had successfully concluded, Electrox smiled gently and said, "Compared to the traditional Soul Ring system, the biggest advantages of Soul Spirits are twofold."

"Firstly, during the fusion process, the soul spirit is not an inanimate object like a traditional soul ring. It can be consciously guided to fully integrate energy without much leakage, making it more compatible with the soul master."

"Secondly, soul spirits are a new type of life form that can allow some soul beasts that are about to die to survive in another form. If the soul master is willing, the soul spirit can even assist in combat outside the soul master's body."

Upon closer examination, there are indeed differences between Tang San's and Huo Gua's actions in the original work.

After Tang San became a god, he sent away the Spirit Hall, which helped rural children awaken their martial souls; while after Huo Gua became a god, he left behind the spirit system and the accompanying Spirit Pagoda.

In the early stages of the Spirit Pagoda's construction, spirits did indeed play a role in reducing the need to hunt spirit beasts, which was of epoch-making significance.

Soul beasts on the verge of death have their lifespan extended by decades or even centuries by forging a bond with a soul master.

At this moment, the Snow Emperor's clear and cold voice rang out: "Yuhao, since I have already become your soul, this 100,000-year-old snow lotus is no longer of much use to me."

As she spoke, Xue Di waved her hand, and the icy mist swirling above the hot spring dispersed, revealing an ice-blue lotus flower that flew from the center of the hot spring into Xue Di's palm.

"Yuhao, should we take this lotus flower with us, or should Bing'er take it back to our habitat and nurture it for now?"

What Xue Di was thinking was that after Huo Yuhao merged with Bing Di and cultivated a new soul ring, he would be able to absorb the 100,000-year-old snow lotus.

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment: "We don't have any extra soul ring slots to absorb it right now, so let Ice Emperor take the Snow Lotus home and nurture it."

Snow Empress handed the snow lotus to Ice Empress.

Hyotei wrapped her tail around the snow lotus. "Don't worry, Snow Emperor, I will take good care of it."

Then the scene fell silent. Huo Yuhao's trip to the far north had come to a successful end, and it seemed that it was time to part ways with the Ice Emperor.

Hyotei was taken aback. "Eh? Are they leaving?"

Tianmeng Bingcan expressed his reluctance to part with Bingdi, "Bingbing, wait for us. When Yuhao reaches level 30, we'll come to the far north to welcome you into our team. Don't miss me too much..."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm delivered a vivid and expressive performance, only to be met with a powerful physical silence from Ice Emperor's front claw.

…………

"Hmm~ Hmm~~"

Shrek Academy, by the small pond next to the girls' dormitory.

Wang Dong, with his light blue short hair, hummed a little tune as he strolled along the path by the pond with Xiao Xiao, each holding a bag of snacks.

Xiao Xiao popped a potato chip into her mouth and, seeing that Wang Dong seemed very happy, asked, "Wang Dong, you seem to be in a good mood today. What's making you happy?"

"I always had this damned thought in my head that kept telling me to practice the Hundred Ways of Hidden Weapons, until this morning, when I accidentally smashed a spider and its web to pieces."

"Guess what happened to Xiao Xiao!" Wang Dong exclaimed with delight.

"The irresistible consciousness in my mind, as if it had broken its leg and could not walk, or as if it had stopped breathing, suddenly became weak, which is good."

Wang Dongxin said with great satisfaction that he would just burn any spider webs he encountered in the future.

Xiao Xiao was also indignant on her behalf, "Whose idiot's mind is this? Everyone uses soul tools now, what's the point of practicing the Hundred Secrets of Hidden Weapons?"

Wang Dong waved his hand, "It's okay, anyway, I've already found a way to break it. As long as my awareness doesn't get stronger, I can continue to have fun and be carefree."

As he spoke, Wang Dong happily stuffed two potato chips into his mouth, and unconsciously thought of that blue-haired figure, which prompted his words.

"I really miss Huo Yuhao's barbecue skewers. I wonder if he'll come to Shrek City to set up a stall and make money during his holidays."

Xiao Xiao empathized: "I miss it too, his grilled skewers were so delicious."

The two ate snacks and chatted happily. Before long, they walked out of the grove and arrived at Shrek Square.

Xiao Xiao saw two familiar faces and gently tugged at Wang Dong's sleeve.

"Hey Wang Dong, aren't those two senior students the ones who helped us set up the barbecue stall for Huo Yuhao and then ate skewers together?"

Following Xiao Xiao's gaze, Wang Dong saw a disheveled old man with a wine gourd in one hand and a chicken leg in the other, his clothes filthy, standing on the steps, giving instructions to a group of senior students.

As the disheveled old man spoke, a reassuring smile appeared on his face, a smile that suggested he possessed great strength and made everyone feel at ease.

The two familiar faces Xiao Xiao had just seen were Tang Ya and Bei Bei.

"Let's go, Xiao Xiao, let's go take a look." Wang Dong had never been shy at Shrek Academy.

The main reason is that the two powerful figures in her family don't allow her to be intimidated. No matter how big or small the occasion, she goes without hesitation.

The disheveled old man with the chicken leg was pointing and whispering among a group of senior students. Wang Dong could tell that the old man was no ordinary person, but she wasn't afraid.

With Wang Dong backing her up, Xiao Xiao naturally had nothing to fear.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao strolled leisurely to the side of the line while eating snacks.

Xuanzi, who was speaking on the steps, raised his gourd to cover his mouth with wine. While speaking, he glanced at Wang Dong out of the corner of his eye, pretended not to see him, and continued his pre-departure safety speech.

Walking up to Beibei and Tang Ya, Wang Dong asked Beibei curiously, "Senior, what kind of activity are they going to hold? Why do they all look so excited?"

Beibei turned her head and looked over, then exclaimed in realization, "Oh, it's you two!"

He remembered Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, and then Bei Bei gestured towards the group, "These senior students from the inner academy are all students of the Shrek Academy's supervisory group."

"Several of them happened to need spirit rings, so Elder Xuan planned to lead them to hunt for spirit rings while simultaneously eliminating potential evil spirit masters in the surrounding area and restoring peace to the region."

"Xiaoya just happened to be missing her third spirit ring, so I talked to the teacher and he agreed to take me and Xiaoya with him."

At this moment, Tang Ya was chatting with a beautiful senior student with long, orange-gold waves.

"Hey Nan Nan, you mean the boy who cured your mother is younger than you?" Tang Ya blinked and asked curiously.

Jiang Nannan didn't casually mention Huo Yuhao's name, but smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, not only that, but his grilled fish is also very fragrant."

Grilled fish? Tang Ya paused for a moment, and the image of Huo Yuhao, thin and weak with blue hair, flashed through her mind.

However, remembering that Huo Yuhao had no medical skills, Tang Ya shook her head and dismissed this unrealistic idea.

"Nannan, no matter what, it's wonderful that your mother has recovered." Tang Ya was genuinely happy for Jiang Nannan.

"How long are you planning to take leave to care for your mother?"

Jiang Nannan truthfully told her best friend, "About six months. My mother's health should be almost fully recovered in six months."

Tang Ya nodded and said happily, "Yes, that's good too. Bei Bei and I are also planning to go with the senior students to get spirit rings later, since there's no one in the dorm anyway."

At this point, Xuanzi's safety speech had reached its most exciting part.

"Outstanding students of Shrek Academy's Supervisory Group, for the sake of the school's honor and ideals, if you encounter any evil spirit masters on your journey, feel free to act as you see fit, and I will cover for you."

"With my formidable strength, protecting you little rascals is a piece of cake!"

Although Elder Xuan's tone was low, it contained a hint of confidence.

Wang Dong casually picked up a potato chip and put it in his mouth, making a crisp sound as he bit into it, while gesturing to Xuanzi on the stage.

"Senior Beibei, look at that slovenly chicken leg teacher, all he does is drink."

"Let him lead the students to hunt for spirit rings; who knows, the students might become the prey."
