Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 84 Ning Ge (Riwan)

Although the spirit possession attempt failed, Huo Yuhao did indeed acquire a genuine second spirit. His spirit power surged freely within his body, and the first spirit ring bestowed by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm finally slowly appeared beneath his feet.

It was a platinum-gold soul ring, which looked lustrous and flawless, like a perfect white jade bracelet. Upon closer inspection, it appeared as ethereal as clouds and mist, exuding a faint sense of tranquility and ease. This carefree and uncontested temperament resonated with the experiences of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm over the past nine hundred thousand years.

Only the faint golden glow within this spirit ring constantly reminded Huo Yuhao that this was not a white ten-year spirit ring, but a genuine spirit ring condensed by a million-year-old spirit beast that had broken through the tenth Heavenly Tribulation.

The four soul skills that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm provided to Huo Yuhao were all quite powerful: mental detection, mental sharing, mental interference, and the only ice-attribute soul skill—Ice Breath.

Of the previous soul skills, Huo Yuhao only tried the first one, and its effect was better than he expected.

Under the effect of mental detection, Huo Yuhao's observation was no longer limited to what his eyes could see, but rather a comprehensive, three-dimensional, and ultra-detailed observation. What surprised and delighted Huo Yuhao even more was that the effect of the Illusory Eyes could be used in combination with the soul skill of mental detection.

Originally, Huo Yuhao's Illusory Eyes could help him see the field of vision in his mental power mode, but it could only move with the movement of his gaze. Although he could see far, it was not wide enough.

When combined with the mental detection effect, Huo Yuhao's Illusory Eyes can observe everything within the detection range with perfect clarity.

In short, when Huo Yuhao's Illusory Eye is activated in mental detection mode, it can not only maintain the field of vision under mental observation, but also adjust the angle of view at will within the range of mental detection.

As for the subsequent mental sharing and mental interference, Huo Yuhao had no way to test them since there was no one else around, so he could only put them aside for the time being. However, Huo Yuhao looked at the last soul skill provided by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and felt that it seemed quite remarkable.

[Soul Skill - Ice Breath: The ice-attribute ultimate skill of the million-year-old soul beast, Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. It summons an ice silkworm phantom that spews out a fan-shaped burst of ice-attribute breath with terrifyingly low temperatures forward.]

[Rumor has it that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm once used this technique to express her love to a certain Ice Emperor, but the final outcome was somewhat regrettable.]

As the only ice-attribute soul skill provided by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, this soul skill is terrifying in effect. This breath does not spray out a large amount of ice mist, but releases a violent surge of ice-attribute energy forward.

Huo Yuhao simply tried it out and turned all the grass and trees in front of him into cardboard. Although it looked like the color had only become a little darker, when Huo Yuhao tried to pick a leaf, the leaf instantly broke in two like fragile thin ice or cardboard.

The temperature is terrifying!

Huo Yuhao gasped. This soul skill had consumed 70% of Huo Yuhao's soul power in less than a second. Keep in mind, he was now a Great Soul Master, and his soul power reserves were more than half of what they were at the Soul Master stage.

Even so, he still cannot afford such a huge consumption of soul skills.

Arriving with high hopes and leaving with great satisfaction, this is perhaps the most satisfying ending. Although his second martial soul had some minor issues and a small gray orb had appeared in his head, the gains from this trip far outweighed the risks involved.

Moreover, he also obtained a precious soul bone.

Instead of recklessly continuing to absorb it from the spot, Huo Yuhao decided that unlike absorbing a spirit ring, a spirit bone wouldn't dissipate after a while. Therefore, he preferred to absorb it after returning to Shrek City.

But not long after they started walking towards Shrek City, a familiar voice drifted into Huo Yuhao's ears.

"Xiao Tian, ​​why didn't you let your uncles hunt down the spirit beasts for you before coming to school? Why did you have to make me, your older brother, pick you up?"

Ning Ge's voice slowly drifted into Huo Yuhao's ears.

"Hehe, you know how unreasonable those old fogies at home are. They're always demanding that I cultivate, and they won't even let me play with Wu Feng for a little while longer."

Huo Yuhao stepped forward and the first person he saw was Ning Ge, a tall and strong man carrying a giant sword that was taller than a man on his back.

The girl standing next to him who had just spoken was tall, only slightly shorter than Ning Ge. She had a head of neat golden hair, large, light blue eyes with long eyelashes, and a few cute little freckles on her cheeks.

"Hmph, I knew you little devil wouldn't come looking for me with anything good. Don't you know your brother has a lot of work to do every day?"

Ning Ge sighed and ruffled the girl's golden hair, saying with some dissatisfaction, "Xiao Yuhao just asked me for leave these past two days, and you insist on having your brother come and keep you company. Who knows how many orders we'll have when we open in a few days?"

The girl just chuckled and said, "I knew my brother doted on me the most. Before school starts, after I get my soul ring, I can go for a stroll around Shrek City with Wu Feng. This is my first time here."

"Who goes there?!"

The girl called Wu Feng looked coldly at the figure that was vaguely visible in the forest, while Ning Ge directly pulled out the large sword that looked like a door panel from his back.

"Brother Ning, don't do anything, it's me, Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao hurriedly walked out of the forest and swallowed hard when he saw the door panel sword in Ning Ge's hand.

If he were to actually get hit by this thing, he could forget about ever growing to 1.8 meters tall in his lifetime; he'd be lucky to stay 18 centimeters.

"Yuhao, what are you doing here...?"

Ning Ge's voice rang out in surprise, but was quickly followed by displeasure: "You little rascal, you sneaked out to hunt for a second spirit ring, didn't you?"

Huo Yuhao shrank back, glancing at Ning Ge's unfriendly expression, and thought to himself that something was wrong.

He had many secrets that he couldn't reveal casually, and Qian Daoliu was confident that he could take Huo Yuhao away thousands of miles in a moment of crisis. Therefore, Huo Yuhao naturally chose to enter the Star Dou Forest alone.

But Ning Ge didn't know that Huo Yuhao had first asked him for three days off, and now he was alone in the Star Dou Forest. How could he not be angry?

"What? You don't trust me and Jiechu that much, and insist on hunting for spirit rings all by yourself?"

Ning Ge clenched his fist, and his three metal fingers made a cracking sound.
