After indulging in the fantasy of weaving dreams for the Ferocious Beasts and finally venting his frustrations, Tianmeng Iceworm cheerfully said:
"Yuhao, although I can't provide you with a Soul Bone, besides the four Soul Skills, I can also grant you an additional Spirit Soul. Once you reach level 20, I'll help you obtain your second Spirit Soul, and from then on, you'll soar to great heights, winning all the way!"
Huo Yuhao praised, "Oh wow, you're really amazing."
"Brother Tianmeng, what will my second Spirit Soul be?" Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow and asked with interest.
"The second Spirit Soul I bestow upon you is ice, but currently, it's ice without a soul."
Huo Yuhao pushed his glasses up, feigning confusion, "Ice without a soul? What does that mean?"
Tianmeng Iceworm explained, "It means the second Spirit Soul currently only has an attribute but no form. You can think of it as an empty slot for an ice attribute Spirit Soul."
"Once you absorb your first ice attribute Soul Ring, this Spirit Soul will take shape. In other words, the next Soul Beast you absorb a Soul Ring from will determine the form of your second Spirit Soul."
At this point, Tianmeng Iceworm put on an air of wisdom.
Huo Yuhao knew this was Tianmeng's prelude to manipulating him.
Tianmeng Iceworm said with a smile, "Yuhao, you must understand the importance of attaching the next Soul Ring! Therefore, you must be extremely cautious and not recklessly absorb any Soul Ring, wasting the infinite potential of your second Spirit Soul. Listen to my advice."
Huo Yuhao nodded, "Don't worry, Brother Tianmeng. From now on, we'll share wealth and choose the best. We'll only take the best!"
Now, it's time to manipulate Tianmeng!
After a discussion with Huo Yuhao, Tianmeng Iceworm was full of vigor and enthusiasm.
"Yes, it's best to have an ultimate ice attribute. Ordinary ice attribute Soul Beasts are unworthy of all the hardships I've endured!"
Tianmeng Iceworm clearly hadn't realized he had been led into a trap.
"Yuhao, I've bet everything on you. From now on, we're in this together, sharing both glory and loss."
After that, Tianmeng Iceworm lamented about how powerful Electrolux's gray bead was, and how his million-year spiritual power was vast but lacked quality, making it seem trivial in front of Electrolux.
Even though Electrolux was just a fragment, he could completely suppress Tianmeng Iceworm on a spiritual level.
Although there's a saying that a sufficient quantity of spiritual power will inevitably lead to a qualitative change, the gap in level and dimension is still an insurmountable chasm.
Tianmeng Iceworm sighed, "Yuhao, there are two humans approaching outside. They seem to be looking for you and mean no harm."
Huo Yuhao nodded, and the next second, his vision blurred, and his consciousness quickly returned to reality.
...
"Why isn't he waking up?" Tang Ya patted Huo Yuhao's face and gave Bei Bei a questioning look.
"Don't worry, there's nothing abnormal about him. His vital energy is very stable."
Bei Bei smiled gently, briefly analyzing Huo Yuhao's current physical condition, noticing the already cold Wind Baboon beside him.
"His clothes are still intact, so he probably didn't have much trouble killing this Wind Baboon. If I'm not mistaken, Brother Huo must have achieved an overwhelming victory."
"Moreover, his Soul Power seems to be on the verge of breaking through, much stronger than when we first met him. This is a sign that he has just advanced from a Soul Scholar to a Soul Master."
Bei Bei sighed softly, "What a pity. He most likely absorbed this ten-year Wind Baboon as his first Soul Ring."
Tang Ya said cheerfully, "It's quite impressive that he managed to kill the Wind Baboon all by himself."
"It doesn't matter if the first Soul Ring is a bit weak. As the sect leader, I don't mind."
Thus, Tang Ya and Bei Bei began discussing whether Huo Yuhao's ten-year first Soul Ring was a pity or not. Just then, Huo Yuhao woke up, rather abruptly, with a faint golden glow shimmering in his eyes.
"Little Yuhao, you're finally awake!" Tang Ya's face lit up with joy as she saw Huo Yuhao open his eyes.
Bei Bei helped Huo Yuhao sit up and patted his shoulder, "Brother Huo, you're really bold."
"Being alone, if another ten-year Wind Baboon had appeared while you were absorbing the Soul Ring, you would have been in serious trouble."
Bei Bei spoke earnestly, "Next time, make sure to have someone by your side to protect you while absorbing a Soul Ring."
Huo Yuhao nodded, "Yes, I understand, Brother Bei Bei."
At the same time, a shimmering white Soul Ring rose from beneath Huo Yuhao's feet, and the spiritual fluctuations emanating from his eyes made Tang Ya blink repeatedly in surprise.
Tang Ya couldn't help but ask, "Little Yuhao, is your Spirit Soul of the spiritual attribute? I just felt a strong spiritual fluctuation."
Huo Yuhao replied shyly, "Yes, my Spirit Soul is the Spirit Eye, a mutated spiritual attribute Spirit Soul."
Tang Ya was overjoyed. Just wandering around the Star Dou Forest, they had encountered a young boy with a rare spiritual attribute Spirit Soul.
This was truly heaven's arrangement for the Tang Sect!
"Spirit Eye? A Body Martial Soul? Wonderful!"
Tang Ya's eyes sparkled as she took another look at Huo Yuhao. He was quite good-looking, with lively eyes, a slender frame, simple clothing, excellent cooking skills, and short blue hair—he was practically perfect for their Tang Sect.
She subtly signaled Bei Bei with her eyes.
The master and disciple worked in tandem, subtly probing Huo Yuhao with questions, especially about his family background.
Huo Yuhao, however, tried to evade the questions as much as possible.
Tang Ya leaned closer, batting her beautiful eyes, "Little Yuhao, now that you've obtained your Soul Ring, what are your plans? Do you have any family left?"
"There's no one left, just me."
Tang Ya blurted out in delight, "That's great!"
Huo Yuhao pursed his lips, unsure how to react, while Bei Bei looked exasperated and lightly tapped Tang Ya on the head, "What kind of thing is that to say?"
"Oh, sorry, sorry…" Tang Ya immediately realized her mistake and looked apologetic.
"Little Yuhao, I didn't mean it that way. I meant to say that since you're all alone with no one to rely on, why not join our Tang Sect?"
At that moment, three options appeared before Huo Yuhao.
[Option One: Reject bluntly, "Anyone with eyes can see that your Tang Sect is on its last legs, barely clinging to life." Reward: A Profound Rank Low-Level Cultivation Method (from Yao Lao's Storage Ring)]
[Option Two: Politely Decline: "I'm the only one left in my family, and I must rely on a powerful force to grow stronger, so I won't be joining the Tang Sect." Reward: An Earth-tier Ice Attribute Technique (Sponsored by Yan Emperor's investor, Hai Bodong)]
[Option Three: Speak with Sincere Emotion: "Sister Tang Ya, I can understand how you feel."
"Actually, I also bear the heavy responsibility of restoring the glory of my sect. It's just that my sect is a small, unknown one called the Endless Fire Domain, the Huo Domain." Reward: Technique - Burning Decision (Yellow-tier Low Level)]
Huo Yuhao's azure eyes flickered. If Tang San could have the Tang Sect, then it wasn't too much for him to have the Huo Domain, right...
