Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 395 A Legend That Will Be Passed Down Through the Ages

"Huff, huff."

The sound of rapid and painful breathing reached her ears. Looking at the figure struggling to support her body but unable to even sit up, Gu Yuena pursed her lips and spoke softly.

"That's enough, you can't go on any longer."

"No"

Huo Yuhao struggled to maintain his almost crumbling expression, and shook his head: "Just one more person, just one more."

He had just absorbed all of the Evil Emperor's spiritual essence two days ago, and should have been invigorated, but now he appeared so exhausted that he unconsciously repeated a single sentence twice.

Not only his mind, but his body also underwent incredibly strange changes.

Through his pale skin, Gu Yuena could vaguely glimpse Huo Yuhao's veins, which seemed to breathe and constantly shimmered with an icy blue hue.

The terrifying chill emanating from them had already turned the ground beneath them into eternal frozen soil, and the moisture in the air condensed into tiny ice crystals, which dripped onto the ground in a flurry of sounds like the rustling of snowflakes.

The reason for all of this is Huo Yuhao's second ice-attribute soul core, which is currently being formed.

Just as expected, as soon as the soul core began to condense, the almost overflowing energy in his meridians was greatly relieved, and soon enough space was made to continue to accommodate the power of the remaining soul spirits.

Considering that the soul core has the strongest growth potential when it is first formed, Huo Yuhao made a decisive decision to take advantage of this hard-won opportunity to let Ice Emperor and other ice-attribute soul spirits use the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow to become gods, and to use their power to strengthen his own soul core as much as possible.

The risks of doing this are undoubtedly enormous.

Although Huo Yuhao's spiritual power is now vastly different from when he condensed his first soul core in the icy sea, having absorbed the spiritual essence of the Sea Princess, the divine official-level Tianmeng Ge, and the divine official-level Evil Emperor, his spiritual strength is now incomparable.

However, the soul core he is about to condense this time will be far stronger than the previous one, and if he wants to maintain stability, the consumption of mental energy will increase exponentially.

In addition, when he only had one soul core, he only needed to focus on that one to handle it. Now, when he is condensing a second one, especially when he is condensing a Yin-Yang complementary soul core, he also needs to spare some energy in the process to extract some of the power from the first soul core and maintain its stability. Suddenly, he has several more things to do.

Huo Yuhao had already experienced the difficulty of achieving this in his previous life. It could be said that if it weren't for the help of Elder Mu and the Snow Emperor, even with his unparalleled talent at the time, he would have inevitably perished in that life-or-death crisis.

However, even under such difficult circumstances, Huo Yuhao still chose to continue pushing himself to higher levels.

Unlike others who try to achieve a balance between the two soul cores as quickly as possible to avoid excessive consumption of spiritual energy, he does the opposite and chooses to prolong the process of condensing the soul core as much as possible, attempting to make the three ice-attribute soul spirits, Ice Emperor, Little White, and Eight-Cornered Star, all become gods, and use their power to construct an unprecedented second soul core.

Without the Evil Emperor's involvement, Huo Yuhao certainly wouldn't have easily attempted something like this.

After all, the experience from the previous life was there. After the first soul core's power was completely extracted, if it was not replenished, it would only become more and more violent. Even if it was successful in the end, the two soul cores would not be able to achieve the desired balance due to their size.

But now that the Evil Emperor has joined, everything has changed. Firstly, his divine-level spiritual essence can be used to compensate for the portion of the first soul core that was extracted, playing a role similar to that of Elder Mu in his previous life in stabilizing the soul core.

Secondly, after merging with the power of the Evil Emperor, the Spiritual Soul Core is equivalent to possessing the power of two priests, while the Ultimate Ice Soul Core possesses the power of three priests: the Ice Emperor, Little White, and the Eight Trigrams.

Although the difference between a priest-level being and a demon-level being is still significant, it is still within a state where balance can be maintained. In addition, the Snow Empress can usually suppress the difference through her Martial Soul Fusion Technique, so safety is still guaranteed.

Similarly, it was thanks to the fact that the Snow Empress's power was added to him through a fusion technique, which did not affect the balance between the two soul cores, otherwise Huo Yuhao might have really given up on making the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass a god for the time being.

However, even with such favorable timing and location, the success rate of this matter was still shockingly low. The most crucial factor was whether Huo Yuhao's mental strength could support him in completing the process.

Once his spiritual power is exhausted and he can no longer maintain the stability of his soul core, not only will the newly condensed second soul core go out of control, but even the first one, which was fine before, will be affected.

Given the strength of his soul core, if he were to explode twice in succession during this process, then even a god would be powerless to save him.

Now, this task, which Gu Yuena considered almost impossible, has been mostly accomplished by Huo Yuhao.

Of the three ice-attribute spirits, Ice Emperor and Little White have already become priests, and their power has been integrated into the second spirit core.

In Gu Yuena's view, it was already an incredible thing that Huo Yuhao was able to persist for so long. According to the previous progress, Huo Yuhao's remaining mental energy was obviously not enough to maintain the Ultimate Ice Soul Core to continue absorbing the power of the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.

But Huo Yuhao was unwilling and insisted on carrying out this final fusion.

She knew that the other party did this so that they would be more confident when facing the Ancestor of the Dragons, but if they lost their lives, then all of this would be in vain.

She couldn't just stand by and watch her man go so far as to gamble with his life.

Just as Gu Yuena was about to forcefully stop Huo Yuhao, she suddenly stopped, as if sensing something.

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light, like the first light of dawn, burst forth from Huo Yuhao's forehead. The moment this golden light appeared, it greatly eased his previously contorted expression of pain.

Gu Yuena stared blankly at the magical scene before her. After a brief moment of bewilderment, she immediately realized what had happened.

After completely absorbing the second external soul bone of the Evil Eye, which was comparable in quality to a divine artifact, the Eye of Destiny finally advanced!

It successfully broke through from the original "one step away" and became a super artifact that even in the entire God Realm, very few people possess!

In fact, as early as when his head soul bone was upgraded to the god level, Huo Yuhao had already controlled the Eye of Destiny to devour the Evil Eye, all for the sake of making a desperate gamble at this moment.

Although it is still slightly inferior to those old-school super artifacts, it still demonstrated its formidable power at this moment.

In an instant, Huo Yuhao's remaining spiritual power crushed the two soul cores with an even stronger force.

Faced with that unparalleled power, the two soul cores suddenly fell silent, showing no signs of further agitation or struggle, becoming incredibly obedient.

The fusion with the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass continued, yet Gu Yuena felt no sense of crisis whatsoever.

Blue gold, red, red, blue gold, red, blue gold, blue gold.

As time passed, beneath that disheveled figure, the fifth blood-red soul ring gradually deepened in color and began to transform into blue-gold.

Sensing Huo Yuhao's gradually calming aura, she knew he was about to succeed.

It possesses dual soul cores of spirit and ultimate ice, and is enhanced by four ice-attribute and two spirit-attribute priest-level soul spirits.

Despite not even reaching the level of a Title Douluo, he possesses a vast and immense power that ordinary people cannot even dream of, let alone reach.

In a daze, Gu Yuena recalled the first time they met in the Star Dou Great Forest, when the other party was weak and only had one spirit ring.

Today, the boy has grown to the point where he can accomplish this awe-inspiring feat even without her help.

It's like confirming what she said back then: "A person like you deserves to achieve something."

She couldn't help but smile and uttered words of expectation: "The path you have walked will become a legend that will be passed down through the ages."

boom--

As the door was excitedly pushed open from the outside, a voice filled with surprise and pride echoed from inside the room.

"I've finally reached level 60!"

"No wonder you're so late today. Congratulations, Qiuqiu! Please have a seat."

With a smile, Wang Dong'er offered her congratulations, then looked at her best friend Xiao Xiao with a teasing expression.

"So-and-so is now the one lagging behind the most, isn't he going to work harder?"

"Hmph, you're all like freaks, who can compare to you! Especially you, Dong'er, you were only a Soul Emperor in the competition, but in less than half a year you became a Limit Douluo!"

Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes in annoyance: "Besides, I only became a Soul Emperor long ago because I didn't add any more Soul Rings to my second Martial Soul!"

"You're still thinking about adding more spirit rings to your second spirit? The advantage of having twin spirit rings is that the second spirit ring can be equipped with more high-quality spirit rings. You've already added a yellow spirit ring; if you add more, wouldn't that be a waste of your talent?"

"I... I did that so I wouldn't fall behind."

Xiao Xiao felt somewhat aggrieved, and in recent years she had indeed regretted her impulsive behavior of wasting her talent.

Leaving aside cases like Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er, which are of no reference value, let's take Princess Vina, who also has twin martial souls, as an example. Although she also added a soul ring to her second martial soul, at least it started at ten thousand years. No matter what, it's much better than her lonely hundred-year yellow soul.

But there's no way around it; not all twin martial souls can be paired with innate full soul power, and she was undoubtedly one of the less fortunate ones.

When she enrolled at Shrek Academy, in order to gain a foothold in this top academy on the continent, where geniuses gathered, she had no choice but to sacrifice some of her future potential.

The latest novel is first published here!

But judging from the current situation, the potential she sacrificed doesn't seem enough to bridge the gap between her and her companions.

Seeing that Xiao Xiao seemed a little down, Wang Dong'er suddenly changed the subject and gently comforted her.

"But don't be too sad. I asked Yuhao before, and he said that this situation is not beyond repair. He told you to focus on your cultivation and not let it affect your mindset."

"...Huh? Really!?"

Xiao Xiao's eyes widened, filled with surprise: "You guys aren't lying to comfort me, are you? I was just saying it, I'm not that fragile."

"Of course it's true. Would I lie to you about something like this? According to Yuhao, as long as we can find a soul beast that is exactly the same as your soul ring but has a stronger cultivation level, we will have a chance to replace the soul ring."

"He even made a special trip to the Spirit Pagoda to explain this matter. I heard that the soul beasts found there are about 40,000 years old. However, because their intelligence is not high, they cannot actively compress their power during the process of becoming soul spirits. They can only be replaced when you reach the level of Soul Saint."

"It's also thanks to your twin martial souls that you can minimize the losses during the process. If it were an ordinary soul master, their cultivation would plummet the moment they lost their soul rings, and they might even be permanently locked at their limit, unable to reach the Title Douluo realm."

Unexpectedly, after listening, Xiao Xiao pouted, and tears visibly welled up in her eyes.

"Dong'er, thank you all..."

Wang Dong'er didn't refuse, nodding with a pleased expression: "Then how are you going to thank me?"

"Forehead……"

Seemingly stumped by the question, Xiao Xiao hesitated for a long time before cautiously suggesting, "How about next time you and Yuhao are being affectionate, I cheer you on from the sidelines?"

"?"

Wang Dong'er's cheeks flushed red instantly, and she smacked Xiao Xiao's head in an annoyed tone: "Is this your way of thanking me?! Are you thanking me or Yu Hao?"

"Ahem, you both helped out, so of course you got something. Besides, every time I see you and Huo Yuhao go to find each other, you end up lying in bed for two or three days. I was just thinking of giving you some encouragement..."

Xiao Xiaoqian chuckled and rubbed her hands together, asking with a hint of curiosity in her eyes, "Speaking of which, is Yuhao really that powerful? You're already a Limit Douluo, yet you still got tormented like this."

"It's not a matter of how good he is, that guy is simply..."

Recalling the times Huo Yuhao tormented her, Wang Dong'er's face turned even redder, and she subconsciously changed the subject.

"Hmph, if you're so curious, why don't you go find Yuhao and see for yourself? I remember someone once boasted that he would go with me. What, are you scared now?"

"Who, who's scared? We just agreed that I'd only go with you if I won the game, but we haven't played since."

Xiao Xiao said this, but the memory of Zhu Lu being tormented and unable to move for several days before Huo Yuhao left flashed through her mind, and she felt a little scared for no reason.

However, Wang Dong'er had no intention of indulging her. Just as she was about to say something, there was another knock on the door.

"Dong'er, someone is looking for you at the academy gate."

"Looking for me?"

Wang Dong'er subconsciously got up and opened the door. She first greeted the heterochromatic-eyed girl standing at the door before asking her question with some curiosity.

"Zhu Lu, you said someone was looking for me? Who was it?"

"She's a very beautiful woman I've never met before, but she didn't reveal her name. Come to think of it, she looks somewhat like you."

"How much do you resemble me?"

Wang Dong'er was even more confused, but then, as if she had just thought of something, her expression changed slightly: "Where is she now?"

"The faculty members have already invited her to the meeting room in the faculty building of the School of Foreign Languages. Would you like to go see her?"

"Thank you, I'll be right there."

Without even having time to say a word to the two people in the room, she darted out and arrived in front of the reception room in the blink of an eye.

The teacher waiting at the door obviously recognized her, nodded in acknowledgment, and then turned around to help her open the door.

The reception room wasn't large; besides a simple long table with tea sets and a few chairs, there were no other furnishings.

Almost immediately, Wang Dong'er's gaze involuntarily fell on the beautiful figure sitting upright in a chair with her back to the door.

Judging from the fact that the tea in front of him was no longer steaming, the other person had obviously been waiting there for some time, and turned around instinctively when they heard the noise behind them.

Their eyes met across the distance, and they both paused in surprise for a moment.

After a long while, the woman who was the first to come to her senses suddenly had tears welling up in her eyes and murmured softly.

"Xiao Qi, you've grown up."

Wang Dong'er frowned, subconsciously took a step back, and asked in a somewhat wary tone.

"Who are you?"
