Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 499 A Half-Grown Boy, Eating His Father Out of Households (Daily 10,000 words)

Huo Yuhao discovered that after the ice-attribute energy absorbed from the Ice Jade Marrow Bed merged into his body, while his Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion torso bones were throbbing with pain, the energy of the Ice Jade Marrow quietly merged in, bringing a refreshing coolness.

Even in my brain, a cool sensation kept rising, stimulating my mind to be exceptionally focused and clear.

The fluctuations in soul power became increasingly intense, with bursts of massive soul power emanating from the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's torso and bones, merging into Huo Yuhao's own soul power and martial soul.

The reason the torso bones feel swollen and painful is because Hyotei's power is sealed within them. To activate it, it naturally needs to be released outwards.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, standing to the side, blushed furiously and muttered, "Ancestor, please eat less! I've never eaten so much good food in such a short time in my entire life. What if Bingbing's power is used up and it's still not enough?"

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm wasn't entirely sure about the second martial soul it had given Huo Yuhao. It had lived for a million years and consumed countless treasures, barely accumulating enough energy to transform into a pupa before becoming Huo Yuhao's second martial soul.

As for how much of the second martial soul she gave Huo Yuhao would need to consume before it could break free from its cocoon, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had no idea. But it probably would only be possible if it could completely replenish the source energy that the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Forest had devoured.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao was unaware of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's ramblings. Huo Yuhao's originally viscous soul power was precisely controlled by his powerful mental strength, and it was always circulating in his body at a stable rhythm.

After a full cycle, he could clearly feel that his cultivation had improved significantly, at least more than he had in the previous ten days of cultivation.

The aura emanating from the Frost Jade Bed seemed to be influenced by the Ice Emperor's aura, surging outwards even more powerfully. As it merged with the Ice Emperor's power, the fusion of their energies actually made the Ice Emperor's power even purer.

Haotian Fortress has three floors.

The Azure Bull Python sat there quietly, its brows slightly furrowed. The Titan Ape sat not far from it.

"This kid's got some nerve! And he really knows his stuff. Even we brothers haven't had a chance to use this Frost Jade Bed, he's really lucky." The Titan Ape seemed to have calmed down.

The Azure Bull Python glanced at him and said, "If you were truly capable of enjoying it, would it still be here?"

The Titan Ape chuckled and said, "That's hard to say. This thing is still somewhat useful to us."

The Azure Bull Python said calmly, "What else can you glean from that kid's behavior?"

"Is this kid a bit greedy?"

Titan Ape said, somewhat unsure of what to say.

Azure Bull Python shook his head: "He is very similar to that person, but even more radical. He is using any means necessary to improve his strength. I guess he probably knows more than the two of us combined."

The Titan Ape was shocked: "He knows all that?"

The Azure Bull Python said, "I know at least part of it, and it's the most important part."

"Alright, stop talking about that person. It's just Tang Sanyao, damn it."

The Titan Ape cursed under its breath, somewhat annoyed, then looked around nervously.

"Heh," a grotesque smile appeared on the face of the Azure Bull Python. "He's very busy right now. Let him curse if he wants. He's busy making arrangements for his mother and his father. He has to deal with the gods of the divine realm and also has to spare some energy to deal with the Mother of All Spirits. This idiot is going to be exhausted."

"The negative gods in the divine realm have rioted, and many divine thoughts have been transmitted down. Brother, do you have any clues about this matter?"

Titan Ape wanted to say something, but he was afraid that Tang San would get too caught up in his work and start spying on Douluo Continent, so he had to change the subject.

"Perhaps it's related to this kid. There's a hint of dark power in the ice attribute power on this kid, even purer than the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger back then, but this is just my guess."

The Azure Bull Python said calmly, "Didn't you bring a lot of good wine from the human world and keep it hidden away? After that child wakes up, take the wine and have a drink with him. I don't need to say anything more, right?"

The Titan Ape tore open a spatial rift, then waved his hand and said, "I'll go get the wine. Xiao Dong is here. You should comfort her. I'll say it again: when Xiao Dong has a problem, the first person she turns to is that kid. Don't keep hurting Xiao Dong's feelings."

Having said that, the Titan Ape vanished, leaving only the Azure Bull Python looking embarrassed and awkward.

How do I deal with Xiaodong? Me?

At this moment, Huo Yuhao could no longer care about the conversation relayed by Electrolux, but he had to admit that divine sense was indeed very useful.

If Huo Yuhao's soul power during his daily cultivation was like a gently flowing stream, then at this moment, the soul power within his body was like countless rivers flowing into the sea, endlessly surging. The surging soul power continuously flowed into his dantian, then circulated along his meridians, at a speed almost ten times faster than usual.

Even with Huo Yuhao's strong meridians, he was already starting to feel a throbbing pain. But he increasingly agreed with Ice Emperor's judgment; opening the seal here was clearly an excellent idea.

Huo Yuhao's high level of mental strength allowed him to integrate his mental strength into the surging soul power, perfectly controlling and guiding it, so that the surging soul power would not run wild on its own.

The pure energy provided by the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Frost Jade Marrow Bed further protected his meridians. Although the energy released from this frost jade marrow was extremely cold, it was also extremely gentle, soothing his swollen meridians and bones.

This not only greatly reduced the pain Huo Yuhao had to endure, but also significantly reduced the burden on his body during the fusion process, allowing the seal on the Ice Emperor to be opened even wider...

In just a short while, Huo Yuhao clearly felt his soul power break through the level 47 barrier and begin accumulating the level 48 progress bar at an extremely fast speed.

It's like flying on a fixed-mount soul-guided cannonball.

The primordial energy contained within the Ice Jade Marrow Bed was immense, but its output seemed to be limited and wouldn't continuously increase. Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Ice Martial Soul was just within its tolerance range. Under its neutralizing influence, the entire seal-opening process was remarkably stable.

Under this transformation, immense power was channeled out and integrated into Huo Yuhao's limbs and bones, further strengthening his physical attributes. At the same time, Huo Yuhao's second martial soul began to devour everything, like a greedy beast, accepting all the power Huo Yuhao sent in.

Huo Yuhao could only grit his teeth and send his power into his martial soul. It was normal for his physical strength to improve a little ahead of time, but if his physical strength improved too much compared to his cultivation and mental strength, it would become a disaster.

If one's cultivation and soul are insufficient to control an overly powerful physical body, serious trouble may arise. Therefore, Huo Yuhao could only send all the power he could not absorb at the moment into his martial soul.

My original Spirit Eye Martial Soul was the best; I didn't need to eat anything.

Huo Yuhao had only thought about it for a moment when he realized something was wrong.

His own Spirit Eye Martial Soul consumed just as much as his second Martial Soul. First, he consumed the Living Spirit Carving Knife, and then he consumed the artifact fragments that Elder Mu sent from the Treasure Appraisal Meeting. By that calculation, his second Martial Soul consumed relatively little!

They can't even feed themselves, how come they're supporting two money-guzzling tycoons?

"A half-grown boy can eat his father out of house and home." Huo Yuhao was starting to understand the meaning of that saying.
