Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 228 Is Willpower Such an Inconvenient Thing? (Daily Ten Thousand Words)

The atmosphere that Qian Daoliu and Electrolux had painstakingly created for Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't last long. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm nudged over and said with a smile:

"The memories that Yuhao sent you should include these two people: Qian Daoliu, the former high priest of the angels, and Ilex, who came from another world and could have become a god but gave up because of the different world rules."

Hyotei had already made up her mind to join in, so she naturally greeted the others and nodded slightly with her tail.

Soon, Huo Yuhao's figure slowly appeared and nodded to Ice Emperor.

"Hello, Tianmeng's host, Yuhao? May I address you that way?"

"Of course, just like Tianmeng and the others, we are comrades-in-arms now."

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded slightly.

Upon hearing this, Bingdi couldn't help but smile wryly. She looked up at the green sun formed by the Life Gold carving knife, which hung high in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea. She felt Huo Yuhao's heavy spiritual barrier, which was completely unrelated to a second-ring Great Soul Master, and his body, which had been baptized by the Life Gold and was now like a pure and transparent gem.

Hyotei felt a surge of envy, which quickly turned into relief.

At least, she truly seized this chance for immortality. No matter who the enemy was, anyone who stood in Huo Yuhao's way to godhood was her enemy.

"Without further ado, Hyotei, I will tell you about the fusion method I've been thinking about, and we can discuss it in more detail. Chi-no-o and I-no-o, please also give your opinions and see if there are any mistakes or omissions."

Tianmeng Bingcan's tone had lost its original cheekyness and become serious.

Hyotei, also on high alert, pointed at their scorpion hooks.

Soon, after the four top figures discussed their ideas, a highly feasible fusion method was developed. Huo Yuhao, the main figure, didn't have much say, but he was happy with it.

First the bones, then the soul, and finally the soul rings.

This is the final absorption plan that was discussed and agreed upon.

In this way, Huo Yuhao's physical strength will leap forward again after absorbing the soul bone, allowing him to withstand more soul ring power and improve his physical fitness to the point where he can absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring before reaching the third ring.

It's not that Huo Yuhao wants to do anything unconventional, but rather that leveling up is becoming increasingly difficult for him.

Absorbing spirit rings is the fastest way to increase spirit power level. For every additional year of spirit ring age that can be absorbed, Huo Yuhao's spirit power level can be increased by one level.

After reaching level 30, the cultivation speed of a Soul Master with an Ultimate Martial Soul will plummet. Although Huo Yuhao is not an Ultimate Attribute Soul Master at all, he possesses an Ultimate Attribute Soul Ring, so his leveling speed has gradually slowed down.

Once Ice Emperor becomes Huo Yuhao's spirit ring, it is almost certain that Huo Yuhao's cultivation speed will decrease further. With three extreme attributes, his spirit power at each level will become more abundant, which will further prolong Huo Yuhao's improvement speed.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao needs to rely on constantly absorbing spirit rings beyond the age limit to ensure that his improvement speed is not slower than that of other spirit masters of the same level. He can use the abundant spirit power brought by absorbing spirit rings beyond the age limit to offset the problem of his slowed cultivation speed.

Huo Yuhao took off his bodysuit, revealing the pale white skeletal spine on his back, which gleamed coldly in the campfire.

This external vertebral bone meanders down Huo Yuhao's spine, its shape perfectly matching the spine and clinging tightly to his skin, resembling a three-dimensional silver-white tattoo.

Beneath this external vertebral column lies a tightly connected neural network, giving Huo Yuhao two pathways for rapidly processing nervous system responses. At the same time, the speed of his nervous system response, enhanced by the soul bone, has also increased significantly.

"Your nervous system has been enhanced? Excellent. I was worried you might not be able to withstand the process of remodeling your entire torso. Compared to the pain of enhancing your nervous system, the modification and enhancement of your bones is nothing."

Hyotei's extremely surprised voice rang out. Facing Huo Yuhao, who had been staying in the bodysuit made from the remains of Tianmeng, Hyotei was still unable to grasp Huo Yuhao's physical condition. When she sensed the two parallel neural network pathways and thick nerve fiber bundles in Huo Yuhao's body, Hyotei's surprise was beyond words.

Originally, Ice Emperor wanted to warn Huo Yuhao that the absorption process was almost equivalent to dismantling all the bones in his torso and then reinstalling them. The level of pain might be beyond Huo Yuhao's imagination, and if Huo Yuhao collapsed, it would be equivalent to all his previous efforts being wasted.

But after seeing Huo Yuhao's thick bundles of nerve fibers, Bingdi knew she was overthinking it. The little guy who could be regarded as the core of the rebellion by this group of people, even if he was only a teenager, could not be an easy person.

It withstood the pain brought about by the remodeling of the nerve fiber system. What kind of monster is this?

"In that case, the sooner the better, let's begin."

Ice Emperor's tone became more capable. Putting everything else aside, in terms of breaking through the level 100 barrier, probably no one in the entire Douluo Continent is more qualified than Huo Yuhao right now. As for how to become a god after reaching level 100, just like Huo Yuhao said, let's take it one step at a time!

As soon as he finished speaking, a chill instantly spread through his mind. Huo Yuhao shivered and felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. The chill was in his soul and seemed to freeze even his thoughts.

However, Huo Yuhao's mental resistance was extremely strong at this moment, and he actually managed to force out this chilling feeling that was directly penetrating his soul, bit by bit.

"Don't help me numb my pain. Is willpower such an inconvenient thing?"

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's answer, Bingdi said no more, realizing that she had indeed overstepped her bounds.

Subsequently, a vibrant emerald green light surged within Huo Yuhao's sea of ​​consciousness, shooting out from between his eyebrows and landing precisely on the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's body.

The body that had been dead was aroused once more, its long tail hook pulsating and its color deepening, causing its 1.5-meter-long body to tremble violently.

Especially its long tail, which rippled violently with a vibrant emerald green aura. Each of the hexagonal protrusions on its body, like diamonds, radiated dazzling brilliance.

As the emerald green turned dark green, the tail hook swung up suddenly and pierced Huo Yuhao's coccyx.

Huo Yuhao's body trembled violently, but he remained silent. This level of pain was manageable.

The thicker nerve fiber bundles not only improved Huo Yuhao's reaction speed but also increased his tolerance for pain.

This doesn't mean Huo Yuhao's reaction has become numb, but rather that he can tolerate more pain, to the point that even pain that would normally exceed his brain's capacity can now be endured.
