Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 230 Electrolux's New Research (Daily)

An agonizing hour slowly passed, and the transition between emerald green and dark green gradually stabilized. Finally, the color settled on a deep emerald green, exactly the same color as the original Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's tail. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao's body underwent a dramatic transformation.

Under the nourishment of the rich nutrients, his bones had grown noticeably, his shoulders had broadened, and his skin had taken on a jade-like luster, still exuding a noble aura in this snow-covered world.

Of course, the biggest gain for Huo Yuhao from absorbing this soul bone, besides the soul bone itself, is actually the improvement of his physical body. Only those who can withstand damage can output damage. Huo Yuhao's current physical condition is not a problem to withstand the soul skills of several great soul masters of the same level!

It can be said that after this experience, Huo Yuhao truly has no rivals at the same level. The blood energy within his body surges and roars like a giant dragon, as if it wants to tear apart all restraints and soar into the sky. The scorching blood energy surges within his body like a molten lava waterfall, crashing and raging.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao could easily defeat several junior soul masters of the same level with just his fists. Soul skills from over a thousand years ago would hardly cause any significant damage to Huo Yuhao. Even with numerous wounds on his body, Huo Yuhao would maintain almost his peak fighting strength until the power within his body was completely drained.

"Alright, Yuhao, you can get a good night's sleep during the absorption process. I'll take care of everything that needs to be considered with Hyotei."

Huo Yuhao nodded upon hearing this. The fact that he didn't utter a sound while absorbing the soul bone didn't mean that he didn't feel any pain. After the enhancement process, which lasted for a day and a night, ended, Huo Yuhao's spirit was indeed quite weak.

Leaning against the wall of the igloo, Huo Yuhao fell asleep sitting up. His ability to fall asleep in such a short time even made the somewhat nervous Ice Emperor smile knowingly.

Hyotei glanced at Tenmeng's consciousness and snorted, "Although I always say you're a piece of trash, I have to admit you have good taste."

"hey-hey."

Tianmeng Bingcan was too embarrassed to admit that she had accidentally wandered into a den of thieves, harboring the beautiful dream of creating a god, when she suddenly learned the tragic truth that gods must be killed before gods can be created. In the end, she gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, and risked her life, truly joining Huo Yuhao's little gang.

"You've removed your most important physical essence, which will damage your spiritual essence over time. Hurry up and start the Martial Soul Fusion."

"According to Elder Yi's analysis, your pure martial soul power may become the nutrients needed for Yuhao's second martial soul to emerge from its cocoon. When Yuhao's second martial soul emerges from its cocoon one day, it may possess the characteristics of your Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion."

"Bingbing, I truly like you. Don't worry, I will do everything in my power to help you for my own happiness. Come on, let's begin."

Surprisingly, this time Ice Emperor did not refute. Immediately afterwards, a thick white halo began to bloom from under Huo Yuhao, sweeping upwards and enveloping his body.

The crystal-like particles on the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's body quietly melted, turning into wisps of icy mist that flowed into Huo Yuhao's body through his skin.

However, Huo Yuhao was sleeping so soundly that he was completely unaware of it. He only felt a pleasant power flowing into him, just as Tianmeng had said. In the next part, Huo Yuhao would not need to stay awake.

……

The cold wind was still biting, and large snowflakes covered the boundless ice field.

Suddenly, with a soft "plop," a lithe figure leaped from the thick snow and crashed into the boundless snowfield.

His body lines were very well-proportioned; his muscles were not particularly strong, but they were flawless. His fair, jade-like skin, after emerging from the snow, radiated a special glow against the surrounding white backdrop.

A strange scene unfolded: the snowflakes falling from the sky would automatically avoid him within three feet of his body, and a vacuum of pure land actually appeared in the icy and snowy world centered on his body.

Huo Yuhao clenched his fists tightly, and instantly, his well-coordinated body burst forth with a powerful feeling. He leaped up, jumping more than two zhang high.

Two spirit rings floated out, one of which, shimmering with brilliant light, rose from beneath his feet, its entire body displaying a captivating blood red hue.

Cold and dangerous, its blood-red hue exudes boundless majesty.

On that blood-red soul ring, four golden lines were faintly visible.

The combination of gold and red colors reveals the power of this spirit ring—it is a full 400,000 years old.

This is the masterpiece of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. It used its own power to assist the Ice Emperor, helping it break through that bottleneck during the fusion process.

A primal, ancient aura emanated from his body, making Huo Yuhao even want to let out a long roar.

Even though he only absorbed a small portion of the sealed power, Huo Yuhao's soul power level had completely broken through the level 30 barrier. But even so, Huo Yuhao still tried his best to suppress his excitement at immediately obtaining a soul ring and becoming a Soul Master.

After considering Huo Yuhao's application of soul skills during this period and confirming that Huo Yuhao's arsenal of attack methods is extremely abundant, neither Qian Daoliu nor Ilex advised Huo Yuhao to rashly choose to absorb soul beast soul rings. Instead, it would be best to wait until Ilex's research made progress.

Compared to other offensive soul skills, Huo Yuhao's two soul skills of the Spirit Eye Martial Soul are much more practical. Taking the Holy Flame Blade as an example, in addition to simply enchanting the weapon, Huo Yuhao has also used this soul skill to satisfy his daily fire-making needs, and to unleash sword energy with dual extreme attributes to defeat a glass dragon.

There's no need to elaborate on the Wind Control Soul Skill. It can manipulate the direction of smoke spread, increase Huo Yuhao's movement speed, clean the dormitory, and even use this invisible wind-attribute hand to quietly push open the window of the assassin's sleeping room. Its practicality is off the charts.

In contrast, the fourth soul skill given by Tianmeng—Ice Breath—is really useless. As a pure attack soul skill, Huo Yuhao has never used it since acquiring it, which is a stark contrast.

There was no other way; Huo Yuhao simply had far too many attack methods. Whether in close combat or ranged battles, Huo Yuhao's arsenal of martial arts techniques provided him with an endless supply of options.

As it stands, this soul skill, apart from being a medium-range crowd control skill that's somewhat useful for crushing weaker opponents, isn't particularly remarkable.

Electrolux's recent research focused on how to modify the soul skills inscribed in the soul rings to maximize the reusability of Huo Yuhao's soul skills, better combine Huo Yuhao's martial arts and soul skills, and avoid the recurrence of embarrassing soul skills like "Ice Breath".
