Chapter 254: Eight Corner Profound Ice Grass

Slowly, after several days of sunrise and sunset, Huo Yutong was the first to wake up.

She opened her eyes and exhaled; a terrifying chill surged out instantly, actually forming a several-meter-long ice path before her.

She could feel that her extreme ice had once again undergone a qualitative change.

This time coming to the Ice Fire Two Aspects Eye, her gains far exceeded imagination; not only did her Spiritual Eyes reach great accomplishment with the help of Gazing Through Autumn Water Dew, but her Ice Snow Girl Martial Soul could also evolve further with the aid of the Water Dragon King's ice element.

With a thought, four soul rings rose from her body.

Red, red, red, blue — this soul-ring combination is enough to leave all soul masters dumbfounded, especially that final ice-blue ring, which is extraordinarily eye-catching.

Huo Yutong stood up and moved her body slightly.

The absorption of the divine soul ring brought her all-around benefits: it not only facilitated the evolution of her martial soul, but also raised her soul power level, improved her physique; now her soul power level has reached the bottleneck of rank fifty, and her physical strength can directly match Dai Yaoheng's strength after threefold amplification during the competition.

Seeing her wake up, Youyou's voice suddenly sounded.

"Hey, what's your name again?"

Huo Yutong looked at her and gave a faint smile.

"I'm Huo Yutong. What's up?"

"Oh, Huo Yutong, I've remembered." Youyou asked seriously: "Can you tell me what a soul spirit actually is?"

She thought it over, but still couldn't understand how Tang Wulin turned the two Dragon Kings into his soul rings.

Leaving aside whether she could bear it, just the question of where this soul ring came from is a major problem.

After all, the Water Fire Dragon King has been dead for who knows how many hundreds of thousands of years, and they've long exceeded the time limit a soul ring can last.

Come to think of it, do Dragon Kings produce soul rings when they die?

Youyou now has so many questions, but just now Ilex disappeared after confirming their safety, and no matter how Youyou called, he refused to appear, so she could only keep these doubts bottled up inside.

Huo Yutong nodded.

"Sure."

Anyway, this isn't a secret; rather, she will eventually make this technology public.

However, the soul spirit technology is still imperfect; according to Ilex, it's a defective product that still needs many technical improvements.

Huo Yutong sat opposite Youyou and began explaining the knowledge of soul spirits.

After listening, Youyou seemed a bit dazed.

"By having a soul beast voluntarily condense into a soul ring, one can not only retain consciousness but also gain multiple soul rings, and even after becoming a god, follow along to godhood? This, this is too absurd, aren't you lying to me?"

"I'm not lying to you."

Huo Yutong slowly shook her head.

Youyou truly felt the world had changed, becoming unfamiliar to her.

First, the Natural Son appeared out of nowhere; then, the Water Fire Dragon King awakened upon the call of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline; now Huo Yutong tells her that a product capable of replacing soul rings has emerged, and the unchanging life of ten thousand years makes it hard for her to accept this change all at once.

And this change hasn't ended yet.

A clear, tranquil voice sounded.

"I see, I understand, Huo Yutong. You're now at rank fifty and need to attach a soul ring, right? Do you think I qualify to be your soul spirit?"

Huo Yutong followed the sound and discovered that the speaker was a plant growing in the ice spring.

"Eight Corner? What are you talking about?!"

She hadn't answered yet, Youyou impatiently said: "You didn't hear what she said? The main target of the soul spirit right now is still the soul beast whose lifespan is nearing its end; your life is still long, there's no need to become her soul spirit, and even if you don't become her soul spirit, we can still follow the Natural Son out later."

Youyou, this plant is really stupid; just based on that sentence, even if Huo Yutong tattled to Tang Wulin to keep her from going out, she wouldn't be able to say anything.

Youyou, this plant is really stupid; just based on that sentence, even if Huo Yutong tattled to Tang Wulin to keep her from going out, she wouldn't be able to say anything.

The Eight Corner Profound Ice Grass said lightly:

"Youyou, you don't need to persuade me; I've already made my decision. Only by daring to gamble can one possibly gain great returns. I see in her the potential to become a god, and if I follow her to godhood, the reward will be far greater than simply going out with the Natural Son."

"This..."

Youyou really wanted to say it was impossible, but the words stuck in her throat.

She also felt the terrifying cold emanating from Huo Yutong's body just now, which even surpassed the range of ordinary extreme ice.

This level of cold already shows how strong her potential is; even Tang San from ten thousand years ago could not compare to the present Huo Yutong.

As the Eight Corner Profound Ice Grass said, she now absolutely has the potential to become a god.

Seeing Youyou fall silent, the Eight Corner Profound Ice Grass asked Huo Yutong again: "How about it, can we do this?"

At this moment, Huo Yutong had already completed communication with several soul spirits in the Sea of Spirit, and she lightly nodded.

"No problem."

The Eight Corner Profound Ice Grass is a ten-thousand-year soul beast; such soul beasts normally would not willingly become a human's soul spirit unless they happen to encounter a heavenly tribulation. This is a rare opportunity, hard to come by.

Ilex's figure appeared again beside Huo Yutong, giving her a faint smile.

"So, shall we begin now?"

Huo Yutong nodded seriously.

"I'm already ready."

"Good."

Ilex then turned his gaze toward the Eight Corner Profound Ice Grass.

"And you, I'll give you one last chance to choose—are you still willing to be her soul spirit?"

"I am willing."

The Eight Corner Profound Ice Grass replied lightly:

She had long since made her decision.

Seeing her so determined, the plants of the Ice Fire Two Aspects Eye were all stunned, especially the Blazing Fire Apricot Shy, which kept muttering to itself.

"Eight Corner has gone mad, Eight Corner has gone mad..."

No matter how they thought, they could not change the minds of the two parties; after confirming the will of Huo Yutong and the Eight-cornered Profound Ice Grass, Ilex nodded satisfied.

Very well, then the ceremony begins.

Layers of gray magic formations rose again; this formation was obviously much simpler than before, and the energy Huo Yutong had to withstand was also much less than before.

After just a few hours, Huo Yutong opened her eyes again; as a brand-new red ring rose around her, she officially advanced to a five-ring Soul King, and indeed a five-ring Soul King whose spirit rings were all over 100,000 years old.

She moved her body slightly, her expression very satisfied.

As with the Ice Emperor and other souls said, the Eight-cornered Profound Ice Grass, although inferior to the soul rings brought by the Water Dragon King, as a 100,000-year soul beast, the enhancement it gave her was also considerable; it not only granted her a 100,000-year-level soul skill, increased her Soul Power Level and physical strength, and even bestowed upon her a soul bone that must appear for a 100,000-year beast—the right leg bone of the Eight-cornered Profound Ice Grass.

The gains she obtained from this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well were truly enormous.
