Chapter 29: The Arrangement of Fate
As soon as Tianmeng Bingcan finished speaking, before Huo Yuhao could respond, Xiao Yin immediately "floated" over.
Its enormous eyes stared at the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm before it, and it said coldly, "Watch your tone. You should address him as Lord Yuhao."
After saying that, it looked at Huo Yuhao beside it and said respectfully, "Lord Yuhao, I am your first soul spirit and your third soul ring. I have already decided what soul skill to give it."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm glanced at Little Silver and snorted, "Little guy, get this straight, I'm a million-year-old soul beast! Your measly thousand-year cultivation, is it even worth a second glance?"
Little Silver's silver eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of cold disdain, and its spiritual whiskers even drew several arcs in the air in a provocative manner.
"A million years of cultivation cannot change the fact that you are essentially just an ice silkworm lacking offensive talent."
"Can you provide powerful attack or control-type soul skills? I'm afraid not!"
Deep down, it knew that in history, the Dream Ice Silkworm had provided Spirit Ice Douluo with unparalleled auxiliary soul skills.
But it absolutely cannot lose its momentum in front of Lord Yuhao at this moment!
"You...you...you..."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm trembled slightly at Xiaoyin's pointed question, its shimmering white aura fluctuating, and it was unable to immediately mount an effective counterattack.
After struggling for a while, it could only weakly emphasize again, "Brother... Brother is a one-of-a-kind million-year-old soul beast!"
It then shifted its gaze from the aggressive Xiao Yin to Huo Yuhao, who had been watching the show from the sidelines.
"My choice of you isn't just about providing a spirit ring."
"My ultimate goal is to create a god."
"With the foundation of your million-year-old accumulated essence, coupled with your own potential, your future... reaching the realm of gods is not an illusion!"
Xiao Yin interjected almost without thinking, "Even without you, Lord Yuhao can still ascend to the Divine Realm!"
Xiao Yin wasn't flattering him; he knew very well that Huo Yuhao himself was synonymous with miracles.
What's more, he now possesses the extraordinary opportunity to travel through time.
In its view, even without the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao still had a high chance of becoming a god in this life.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was speechless at Xiaoyin's almost blind worship.
It was truly incomprehensible why this evil eye was so humble in front of this human boy, addressing him as "Lord Yuhao" repeatedly, showing absolutely no dignity befitting a soul beast.
Forget it, I won't stoop to his level.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm decides to reveal its true trump card.
It stopped arguing about the vague notion of becoming a god, and instead looked at Huo Yuhao, saying, "Besides that unprecedented million-year soul ring, I can also bestow upon you another great gift..."
It paused slightly, emanating a chilling aura: "I can grant you an ice-attribute martial soul!"
This time, Xiao Yin unusually did not immediately refute.
The enormous silver eye merely shifted slightly, silently glancing at the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, then quietly glancing at Huo Yuhao, for it knew this was true.
Huo Yuhao appeared calm on the surface, but a slight ripple was stirring within him.
After all, he knew that it was the Ice Jade Scorpion, the ultimate ice attribute, a top-tier offensive beast spirit!
The weight these words carry is enough to drive any Soul Master mad.
At the same time, he fell into deep thought. He could now completely transform the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm into his soul spirit. A million-year-old soul spirit would be enough to provide several soul rings.
And this is a million-year-old spirit ring! Just thinking about it is exciting.
But what Xiao Yin said earlier was also true. The essence of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is ultimately that of an Ice Silkworm, and its racial talent determines its lack of attack and control-type soul skills.
If it occupies multiple precious spirit ring slots to provide auxiliary skills, it might not be the optimal solution for someone who pursues all-round development of combat power.
Huo Yuhao quickly suppressed his turbulent thoughts. It was too early to dwell on these things. He hadn't even crossed the threshold of level 30 yet, so he had plenty of time to observe and plan.
His gaze slowly moved upwards, finally settling on the gray bead the size of a soybean high in the sea of consciousness.
This seemingly insignificant bead exudes an aura that stirs the very soul, a profound sense of death and annihilation.
What exactly is this?
Where did they come from?
Why were I drawn here at this moment?
Huo Yuhao was completely clueless, but he believed he would be able to find the answer ten thousand years later.
This further strengthened his resolve to persuade Aunt Leng to start researching the Spirit Ice Douluo and the history from ten thousand years ago, no matter what, after he traveled through time again!
……
In the Star Dou Great Forest, Huo Yuhao carefully traversed the deep woods.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.
"Found it!"
He stood still for a moment, then turned to his left and walked away.
Although Wu Ming and Wu Yang behind him were not sure what was going on, they were already convinced of Huo Yuhao's powerful strength and immediately followed him.
After walking less than a hundred meters, Huo Yuhao stopped, parting a clump of low bushes, and looked down at the ground: "This is it."
In the grass lay a mantis-shaped spirit beast, about the length of an adult's arm, with a dark red carapace.
Its limbs were long and sharp, and it was now lifeless.
A hazy white spirit ring slowly condensed and rose from its body, its light pure.
"A Crimson Blood Mantis with approximately eighty years of cultivation."
Huo Yuhao turned to look at the two and said, "The mantis is an insect-type soul beast. Its offensive capabilities are concentrated in its forelimbs, specifically the mantis blades. Its soul ring characteristics will most likely enhance its sharpness and speed."
"And Wu Yang's martial spirit is a scythe, which is a great match."
"Eighty years is the limit that a physique with only level one innate soul power can safely withstand at present, and the risk is the lowest."
His mental power had already meticulously scanned Wu Yang's physical condition, and his assessment of this soul beast was accurate down to every detail.
This eighty-year-old Crimson Blood Mantis, in terms of both age and attributes, is the best choice tailored to Wu Yang.
Wu Yang looked at the slowly rotating white soul ring, his eyes shining with an unprecedented brilliance.
He never dared to hope for a hundred-year spirit ring; this eighty-year spirit ring was enough for him.
He suppressed his excitement and nodded vigorously to Huo Yuhao.
He then sat cross-legged, focused his mind, and began to guide the white soul ring to merge with himself.
Seeing the fluctuations of soul power and soul rings merging around his son, Wu Ming's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down a lot.
He turned to Huo Yuhao and said gratefully, "Brother Huo, I am deeply grateful! If it weren't for you this time, it wouldn't have been easy for Xiaoyang to obtain a suitable spirit ring."
Huo Yuhao quickly waved his hand, interrupting him with a sincere smile: "Uncle Wu, you're too kind. You've helped me a lot before."
He wasn't just being polite; Huo Yuhao genuinely felt grateful to Wu Ming.
When he first came to Xilaicheng, Wu Ming gave him a job at the blacksmith shop, which was a way of helping him.
Moreover, if he hadn't accompanied them to the Star Dou Great Forest this time, how could he have "coincidentally" encountered the million-year-old Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm?
However, Huo Yuhao is unaware that Wu Ming's invitation to go to the Star Dou Great Forest was also the result of the influence of a certain God King surnamed Tang.
His encounter with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was an inevitable arrangement by "fate"!
