Douluo Continent, I, Huo Yuhao, defy fate with my spiritual eyes.

Chapter 169 The New Ice Bear King

Huo Yuhao looked up, his gaze unwavering, meeting Xiao Bai's deep blue eyes.

They both saw sincerity in each other's eyes. Huo Yuhao stretched out a hand, and the Ice Emperor's cold shadow appeared behind him, radiating a friendly aura.

"I am Huo Yuhao, and I would like to invite you to become my soul spirit!"

Without hesitation, the Ice Bear King stretched out its huge paw and slapped Huo Yuhao's hand hard, looking quite憨厚 (honest and simple).

"Mom and Aunt Bing are both there, I want to go too!"

Before the Ice Bear King could even react, Little White had already eagerly left, passing the throne to a 100,000-year-old Ice Bear.

The process of absorbing the soul went smoothly. Xiao Bai only had 290,000 years of cultivation, so absorbing it was already commonplace for Huo Yuhao.

The miniature version of Little White looks even cuter, with its chubby face that looks very honest. But if you dare to underestimate it, its big muscles will teach you why it is the Ice Bear King.

Just as they were about to leave, the newly enthroned Ice Bear King pounced forward with a mournful howl, blocking their way. It let out a soft cry like a deer, its eyes filled with tears, making it look pitiful.

"Yo yo yo!"

A 100,000-year-old soul beast should be able to speak by now, right?

Huo Yuhao looked at Xiaobai, only to see that Xiaobai's face was flushed red, all the way to her ears. In his soul form, he pounced on her and slapped her.

"You can speak! Stop acting cute!"

Huo Yuhao was speechless. She was actually trying to gain sympathy by acting cute!

The Ice Bear King, having been slapped, sat down heavily on the snow, muttering aggrievedly.

"Isn't this just asking for a favor and trying to gain some goodwill?"

He looked up and glared at Xiaobai, his face full of indignation.

"You've got some nerve, just handing the whole tribe over to me without even asking if I'm happy about it! How am I, a 100,000-year-old ice bear, supposed to lead my tribe against natural disasters and man-made calamities?!"

Little White scratched its head awkwardly. In its excitement, it was eager to leave with Snow Emperor and hadn't thought about anything else.

Huo Yuhao looked at the Ice Bear King with great interest.

"Then why did you stop me?"

Upon seeing his target speak, the Ice Bear King quickly spoke seriously.

"The aura of the Ice God within you is too pure; I wish to make you the totem of our race!"

Zi Guang stared intently at Huo Yuhao, his eyes filled with pleading and anticipation.

The aura of the Ice God?

Isn't this the divine succession I've been searching for?

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, suddenly realizing that things seemed to be getting interesting.

"Why do I possess the aura of the Ice God? And why do you worship me as your totem?"

With eager eyes, the Ice Bear King recounted the customs of the far north to Huo Yuhao.

In ancient times, the Ice God settled here, and the unconscious power within him transformed this place into the far north. The soul beasts that live here all have awe for the Ice God.

Unfortunately, the Ice God later perished, leaving behind only this far northern land and the legacy of the Ice God.

At this point, the Ice Bear King couldn't help but glance at Huo Yuhao again.

"The aura emanating from you is exactly the same as that of the Ice God—both are of the purest and most extreme ice attribute! If we can make offerings to you, the Ice Bear clan will have nothing to fear!"

After thinking for a moment, the Ice Bear King quickly added.

"Of course, as the totem symbol, your status within the Ice Bear clan will be supreme! We, the Ice Bear clan, will follow you to the death!"

Listening to the Ice Bear King's rambling narration, Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought, turning his head to look at the few souls that had once lived in the far north.

Tianmeng Bingcan looked bewildered, and after noticing Huo Yuhao's gaze, she gave a wry smile.

"I'm just one of the lucky ones in the Ice Silkworm Clan. I started sleeping as soon as I gained some intelligence, and I've been sleeping for who knows how many years. How would I know these things?"

Xue Di tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and shook her head with a faint smile.

"I am a snow woman born in the far north, relying entirely on nature for my existence. The snow woman clan does not have these things passed down to me."

Huo Yuhao shifted his gaze again. The Ice Jade Scorpion Clan was also the overlord of the far north. He must have heard of the Ice Emperor.

Unexpectedly, Hyotei looked embarrassed, her pretty face slightly flushed as she turned her head away and gave a hesitant explanation.

"It seems they did mention these things, but I prefer going out to fight and almost never stay within the clan, so I've never heard of them before—"

.

'

Huo Yuhao was speechless for a moment, his gaze sweeping over Xiaobai's innocent expression, without even asking a question.

"Big brother! You haven't asked me yet!"

Xiao Bai blinked and asked in confusion.

Ok?

Could it be that Xiaobai is actually the only one among his spirits who listens to the lecture?

Huo Yuhao was overjoyed.

One or two are unreliable; when it really matters, you have to rely on me, Xiaobai!

Have you heard this rumor?

Little White puffed out his chest, looking very proud.

"No! I was rescued by my mother when I was a child and have always lived with her. I've never been part of the Ice Bear tribe!"

"???"

Huo Yuhao almost had a heart attack; none of them are reliable!

"Then why are you asking this?"

Little White tilted its head, its bright blue eyes filled with self-righteousness.

"My brother has already asked everyone else, shouldn't he ask me next?"

But seeing Xiao Bai's innocent and adorable expression, Huo Yuhao could only grit his teeth and squeeze out a single word.

"good----"

It was clear that the Ice Bear King was suppressing a laugh, his whole body trembling.

It knows the previous Ice Bear King's personality very well; he is honest and simple. It can be said that it has long been the actual Ice Bear King, and Little White is just a mascot with superb strength.

Now that the one in charge has left, I definitely need to find a new one to replace him!

This is perfect. Although this human's soul power fluctuations are not strong, the sense of crisis it feels from his entire aura is not weak at all.

Having just lured away the pillar of the Ice Bear clan, he must feel a little guilty.

"What is your opinion, sir?"

Seeing the Ice Bear King's sharp gaze, Huo Yuhao suddenly thought of something, and his eyes instantly turned fierce.

"You just said the Ice God has already perished!"

The Ice Bear King nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world, looking at Huo Yuhao with a puzzled expression, not understanding why he would ask such a stupid question.

If the Ice God hadn't died, the far north would have already ruled the continent!

Huo Yuhao stared at the Ice Bear King, his voice gradually turning cold.

"Then you say my aura is exactly the same as the Ice God's aura? Where did you sense the Ice God's aura from?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao's aura surged, and a strong killing intent erupted, which startled the Ice Bear King, causing his expression to change drastically.

This killing intent is terrifying; if I dare to make a move, I will definitely die!

A constant sense of crisis within him urged the Ice Bear King to leave this ominous place as soon as possible.

The Ice Bear King took a deep breath and crawled down.

"M--My lord! I didn't lie to you. I know I've sensed the aura of the Ice God, but it wasn't the living Ice God, but rather the Ice God's legacy!"

After the sound faded, no one spoke; the only sound in the air was the howling of the cold wind carrying snowflakes, a monotonous and lonely sound.
