Douluo Continent: The True Self of Martial Soul, Infinite Awakening

As soon as Ye Yuan opened his eyes, a large, calloused hand slapped him on the shoulder.

Poison Undying's deeply lined old face was almost touching Ye Yuan's nose, his dark green eyes filled with unyielding tension and lingering fear.

This fearless Douluo, who had roamed the continent without fear, was now trembling in his voice:

"Kid! What was that gray, ghostly thing just now? Did it damage your spiritual sea? Speak!"

Ye Yuan patted the back of Poison Undying's hand, where the veins were bulging, signaling him to relax.

"Sect Master, I'm fine." Ye Yuan's tone was calm, showing no panic at the sight of the external force.

"That is not some evil object, but a fragment of the remaining divine consciousness of a powerful being from another world."

Poison-Free's brows furrowed, and instead of relaxing, he clenched his fists even tighter:

"An otherworldly powerhouse? Fragments of divine consciousness? I've seen this kind of old monster possession far too many times! With him inside your head, he's a powder keg ready to explode at any moment!"

"He can't take my body away." Ye Yuan shook his head.

"He only has the purest spiritual essence left, and even his self-awareness is on the verge of a very weak slumber. So Sect Master, rest assured, and I will also be careful."

Deep within the sea of ​​the spirit.

Having just settled down and studying the two streams of primal energy, one white and one black, that surrounded him with immense curiosity, Electrox overheard the conversation outside.

The gray orb of light floating in mid-air trembled violently.

This once-powerful Necromancer, who made the entire continent tremble under the scourge of the dead, clearly did not expect that he would be suspected by the local strongmen of this world of possessing a six-year-old child.

Extremely subtle mental fluctuations emanated from within the sphere of light, seemingly expressing a kind of protest and dissatisfaction belonging to a demigod.

However, before this fluctuation could even be released, Ye Yuan had already closed the barrier of the entire sea of ​​consciousness, shielding Electrolux from the outside world.

Sensing the absolute confidence emanating from Ye Yuan, Du Bu Si finally felt relieved.

He released his grip and exhaled a long breath.

"You know what's good for you. Remember, if you dare to mess with the successor of the Body Sect, I'll make sure you regret it, even if it costs me my life."

Having dealt with the threat on Ye Yuan's side, Du Busi immediately turned around and fixed his gaze on Huo Yuhao, who was lying on the ground a few steps away, still unconscious.

"That big worm just now..." Poisonous Undying strode over to Huo Yuhao's side, feeling the boy's steady breathing.

"The energy fluctuations are extremely strange, unlike the possession of an ordinary soul beast. It's more like a sacrifice used by a legendary 100,000-year-old soul beast. But if it's a sacrifice, where did that energy, enough to burst a Title Douluo, go? Even if this kid reshapes his body with a medicinal bath, he definitely can't withstand it. This is bizarre. This trip to the Star Dou Great Forest today is truly bizarre."

Poison Undying had just raised his finger, preparing to probe Huo Yuhao's meridians.

"Sect Master, don't touch him yet." Ye Yuan walked to Du Busi's side and stopped him.

"His spiritual sea is undergoing an unprecedented expansion. Forcibly probing it with external forces will only cause his spiritual power to collapse. Once he wakes up on his own, all the mysteries will be revealed naturally."

Du Bu Si glanced at Ye Yuan, then at Huo Yu Hao on the ground, rubbed his sparse beard in annoyance, and finally withdrew his hand.

"Alright, I'll wait and see what earth-shattering fart this kid can come up with." Poison Undying simply found a relatively clean bluestone on the spot, sat down with his arms crossed, and closed his eyes to rest.

Half an hour later.

The last trace of extreme cold covering Huo Yuhao's body completely dissipated, and the boy's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, letting out an extremely faint moan.

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, and his vision gradually became clear.

The first thing he saw was the towering ancient tree that was blocking his view overhead.

Then memories flooded my mind like a tidal wave.

The giant white silkworm, the maniacal laughter of "Brother is finally free," and the earth-shattering changes that followed in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Huo Yuhao sat up abruptly, his hands instinctively touching his cheeks and body.

He didn't die.

Not only did he not die, he could even feel an unprecedentedly vast power filling his body. His originally weak spiritual sea was now as wide as a lake.

He raised his head, meeting Poison Undying's inquisitive, eerie green eyes, and Ye Yuan's calm gaze.

In that cold and damp courtyard in Xingluo City, he learned to hide his emotions from everyone and to keep all his secrets to himself.

But during his six months at the Body Sect, it was these two people who pulled him and his mother out of the abyss.

There is no need to hide it.

Even if what I'm about to say is so shocking.

"Sect Master, Young Sect Master." Huo Yuhao pushed himself up with his hands, standing ramrod straight. He took a deep breath, his voice unusually loud.

"That soul beast was called the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. It wasn't a 100,000-year soul beast, but a million-year soul beast."

boom!

The blue stone that Du Busi was sitting on was instantly pulverized into powder by the soul power he subconsciously released.

He nearly collapsed to the ground, his eyes wide as saucers: "A million years?! Do you even know what a million years means?!"

Within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which had just settled down, was frantically ramming against the spiritual barrier.

"I'm insane! I'm insane! Yuhao, you good-for-nothing! You've revealed all my secrets?! That's a Title Douluo! What if he gets greedy for my power and slaps you to death and pulls me out?! How did I end up with such an honest host like you?!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm cried and wailed in Huo Yuhao's mind, rolling around in despair.

Huo Yuhao responded to it in his mind with extreme calmness: "Brother Tianmeng, without them, I would not be alive today. I believe in the young sect leader."

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm instantly fell silent, lying in a corner of the Sea of ​​Spirit, rolling its eyes and pretending to be dead.

Outside, Huo Yuhao ignored Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's rage and continued to reveal everything he knew.

"It said it was originally just an ordinary ice silkworm that fell into a crack in a ten-thousand-year-old mysterious ice marrow. Because it had no fighting power, it only ate and slept. It ate until it was full, then slept, and slept until it ate again. It ate countless millennia-old top-grade ice marrow like this, and somehow managed to avoid all the heavenly tribulations, forcibly piling up its cultivation to hundreds of thousands of years."

Huo Yuhao looked at Du Busi's completely stiff facial muscles, his tone very serious.

"Later, it was captured by the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest and used as a cultivation tool to absorb energy. In order to escape its fate of being drained, it escaped while the beasts were asleep. It took a liking to my spiritual attribute and offered itself as a sacrifice, becoming the first intelligent soul ring on this continent."

After hearing Yuhao's words, Du Busi remained in a half-squatting position, stunned for the duration of half an incense stick.

He raised his head, looked at the Star Dou Great Forest that blotted out the sky, and then looked at the six-year-old boy in front of him who only had tenth-level soul power and a childish face.

"Eat, sleep; eat, sleep; a million years." Poisonous Immortal gritted his teeth, repeating these words, then suddenly slapped his thigh, looked up to the sky, and sighed deeply.

"That damn old tyrant is utterly blind! I've spent my entire life teetering on the edge of life and death, barely managing to reach the threshold of Limit Douluo. And this worm can gain a million years of cultivation just by sleeping!"

After his reflections, Du Busi's gaze toward Huo Yuhao underwent a subtle change.

In the world of Soul Masters, where killing and plundering are as commonplace as drinking water, the concepts of million-year Soul Rings and Intelligence Soul Rings are enough to make those self-proclaimed righteous Title Douluos tear off their masks and ruthlessly kill. This kid could easily make up an excuse or shift the blame to unknown anomalies.

But he chose the most straightforward and thorough confession.

Poison Undying stood up, walked up to Huo Yuhao, and heavily ruffled the boy's hair with his hands, large enough to cleave tigers and leopards.

"Good lad." Poison Undying didn't say much more, but those three simple words carried more weight than any promise.

"Since you call me Sect Master, then no one in this world can touch your million-year soul ring."

Ye Yuan stood aside, watching the interaction between the old man and the young man, and spoke up at the right moment to break the silence.

"Yuhao, since the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is a million-year-old intelligent soul ring that has granted you soul skills and physical changes, it must be more than it appears on the surface. Show us your first soul ring."

Huo Yuhao nodded emphatically and immediately closed his eyes.

The Spirit Eye Martial Soul is activated.

Huo Yuhao's originally clear eyes were instantly covered with a faint golden luster.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely large spiritual fluctuation, far exceeding the level that a level ten Soul Master should have, surged out from his body.

A spirit ring slowly rose from beneath his feet.

It wasn't the white that represents ten years, nor the yellow that represents a hundred years, but an extremely rare, crystal-clear, luminous white.

On the pure white background, there are faint golden patterns flowing.

"A million-year spirit ring automatically adjusts its age according to my body's tolerance. What I'm showing now is the strength of six hundred years." Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, his golden pupils staring straight ahead.

"The first soul ring that Brother Tianmeng gave me has a total of four soul skills."

"How many?!" Poison Undying's emotions, which had just calmed down, were dealt another blow.

An ordinary Soul Master only has one Soul Skill with their first Soul Ring, and even a 100,000-year Soul Ring only has two.

Four?! This has completely overturned every Soul Master's understanding of Soul Rings.

"These four soul skills are Mental Detection, Mental Sharing, Mental Interference, and Mental Impact."

Huo Yuhao didn't waste any words; he immediately demonstrated with his actions. A golden glint flashed in his eyes.

"Mental detection, mental sharing!"

Two invisible spiritual forces instantly enveloped Ye Yuan and Du Busi.

Poison Undying's body shuddered again.

In that instant, without even using his immense mental power to perceive, everything within a fifty-meter radius around him was presented directly to his mind with extreme abruptness and clarity.

This is not a two-dimensional visual experience, but a three-dimensional presentation that is comprehensive and without any blind spots.

The extremely fine veins on the fallen leaves, the frequency of a black beetle digging a tunnel under the soil, the dust trails blown by the breeze in the air, and even the length of the fangs of a ten-year-old datura snake hidden behind an ancient tree thirty-seven meters away from him, were all fed back into his mind in an extremely precise data form.

This terrifying omniscient perspective made Poison Undying, a battle-hardened Douluo, gasp in shock.

In clashes between top-tier fighters, the ability to seize opportunities and pay attention to details determines life or death.

If they had such an all-around radar to assist them in battle, the combat power of those brutes from the Body Sect who only knew how to fight hand-to-hand would increase exponentially!

"This...this is a divine support skill! A divine skill!" Poison Undying was so excited that he trembled all over, his rough hands gesturing wildly in front of him, even his beard was shaking.

However, before Du Bu Si could recover from the shock of those four heaven-defying soul skills, Huo Yuhao withdrew his soul skills, the golden light in his eyes gradually faded, and his tone carried a sense of dreamlike disbelief that even he himself could not believe.

"In addition to these four soul skills, Brother Tianmeng also forcibly endowed my body with an extremely special attribute, forming an unformed second martial soul."

Poison Undying's movements froze instantly, and his breathing completely stopped.

"A second martial soul? What kind of martial soul did it grant you?"

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and slowly uttered four words: "Soulless Ice".

"Brother Tianmeng said that this martial soul currently only has the attribute of ice and does not have a specific form. When I attach the first soul ring to this second martial soul in the future, the form of my second martial soul will be determined by the soul beast from which that soul ring comes."

Poison Undying's brain was on the verge of extreme oxygen deprivation. He turned his head blankly and looked at Ye Yuan standing to the side.

He didn't have a thorough understanding of these fancy attribute changes.

Ye Yuan looked at the bewildered old face of Du Busi, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and calmly delivered the final, most fatal blow.

"Sect Master, Yuhao's meaning is very simple."

Ye Yuan pointed in the direction of the far north.

"If we go to the far north and find a soul beast with the ultimate ice attribute, such as the Ice Jade Scorpion, kill it, and use it as the first soul ring for Yuhao's second martial soul, then Yuhao will become the only twin martial soul master on the Douluo Continent with the ultimate ice martial soul."

The ultimate ice.

These four words were like a heavy hammer, slamming into the already numb heart of Du Bu Si.

What is the strongest aspect of the Body Sect? It is the physical body, close combat, and indestructible power.

What does the Body Sect lack most? It's elemental suppression! It's top-tier elemental control that can reliably suppress Shrek Academy and even the Star Luo Empire's royal family in terms of attributes!

Now, a million-year-old soul beast not only brought four heaven-defying mental control divine skills, but also directly bestowed upon it an ultimate ice martial soul with infinite potential!

Poison Undying's face instantly turned bright red, and purplish-red veins throbbed wildly on his forehead and neck.

His chest heaved violently like a fully drawn bellows, and his breathing was as rapid as that of a ferocious beast about to go berserk.

"Ultimate Ice... Ultimate Ice combined with my Body Sect's invincible physical body... Mind control to aid in assassination..."

Poison Undying staggered back two steps and fell hard onto the pile of bluestone powder he had shattered.

He covered his face with his hands, his shoulders heaving violently, emitting a strange sound that was both crying and laughing.

An overwhelming sense of happiness overwhelmed this original Douluo like a tsunami, and he even felt a strong dizziness rushing to the top of his head.

If it weren't for his formidable level 98 cultivation holding him back, the dignified Sect Master of the Body Sect would probably have fainted from over-excitement in the Star Dou Great Forest today.
