Chapter 270 Bai Yuhao is also going to create his own soul skill? How does it compare to Hao Dong's Three Wonders?
In the dark world, in the squares of major cities, Soul Masters watched the images of Huo Yuhao and Wang Qiu'er leaving in the sky, and discussions arose once again.
"That's right." A Soul Master nodded. "Huo Yuhao has changed his training location, and Wang Qiu'er is doing her own thing as usual. As long as the two don't meet, there won't be any problems."
"Yes," someone next to him chimed in. "And Huo Yuhao did a pretty ruthless thing. When he saw Wang Qiu'er in the library, he just walked away without even saying hello. That shows he was really deliberately keeping his distance."
"That's the safest way," another Soul Master said. "Talking is useless; we also need to separate actions. If he handles it this way, there shouldn't be any problems."
"I hope so," a female Soul Master said. "Anyway, I'm terrified. Wang Qiu'er from the underworld has already suffered enough; I hope nothing else happens to her from the righteous world."
"It shouldn't be a problem," someone said. "Huo Yuhao is already aware of this, and Wang Qiu'er has also agreed to keep her distance. Both of them are well-behaved, so there shouldn't be any major issues."
The murmurs in the square gradually subsided, and everyone felt that the matter should be put behind them. All eyes refocused on the sky.
[In the scene depicting the sky.]
Time continues to flow.
Huo Yuhao resumed his daily cultivation routine. He meditated by Seagod Lake in the early morning, researched soul tools at the Tang Sect workshop during the day, and returned to his dormitory to organize his insights in the evening. Wang Dong'er would occasionally come to keep him company, and the two would cultivate together and discuss soul skills.
Wang Qiu'er was still at Shrek Academy. She went to the library to read, strolled around the city, and occasionally went to the training ground to stretch her muscles. But she didn't go to see Huo Yuhao anymore, and Huo Yuhao didn't go to see her anymore either.
The two maintained a polite distance, like two parallel lines, each extending its own path and never intersecting.
[On this day, by the shores of Poseidon Lake.]
Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged, surrounded by icy blue soul power. His aura was steady, and his level 80 soul power flowed smoothly through his meridians without any obstruction.
Bai Xuanzi stood not far away, hands behind his back, watching him cultivate.
[Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, repeatedly rehearsing a path for the circulation of his soul power in his mind. It was an experience he had gleaned from numerous battles—the spiritual power of his double pupils and the ice attribute of the Ice Crystal Phoenix. Although he could already fuse and use them, he always felt something was missing.]
[It was just a hair's breadth away from a qualitative change.]
His brow furrowed slightly, and the soul power within his body began to explore new pathways. His mental energy followed one path, while his ice attribute followed another, before converging and merging at a certain point.
But every time I was close to success, that sense of connection would dissipate, as if something was blocking it.
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, a thoughtful look flashing across them.
"Teacher," he turned to look at Bai Xuanzi, "I sensed something, but I can't grasp it."
Bai Xuanzi walked over and sat down opposite him: "How does it feel?"
"When mental power merges with ice attribute, a new power is generated," Huo Yuhao said. "That power is stronger than a simple mental impact or ice attribute attack. But I can only sense it for a moment; it disappears quickly. I can't grasp it."
Bai Xuanzi looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "That's a sign of creating your own soul skill. You're touching a new form of power, but it hasn't taken shape yet. It's like a wisp of fog; you can see it, but you can't touch it."
"A self-created soul skill?" Huo Yuhao was taken aback.
"That's right," Bai Xuanzi said. "It wasn't obtained from a soul ring, nor inherited from a soul spirit. It's a soul skill you created yourself, uniquely yours. Such a soul skill is often more suited to you than any inheritance."
Huo Yuhao nodded thoughtfully.
"Don't rush it." Bai Xuanzi stood up and patted his shoulder. "These kinds of insights can't be rushed. Keep cultivating, and they will come naturally when the time is right."
"Yes, teacher." Huo Yuhao closed his eyes again, continuing to try and achieve that feeling of fusion.
The surface of Poseidon Lake was calm, the sunlight shimmering on its surface. Huo Yuhao sat by the lake, his aura rising and falling like the tides.
He's still exploring, still learning.
It will take time before it is truly created.
In the plaza of the Dark World, the Soul Masters witnessed this scene, and their discussions arose once again.
"Is this... a self-created soul skill?" a soul master exclaimed. "Is Bai Yuhao about to start creating his own soul skill?"
"That should be it." The person next to him nodded. "Bai Xuanzi said that it was a sign of creating a new soul skill. He was touching upon a new form of power, but it hadn't taken shape yet."
"I remember that in the underworld, Huo Yuhao also created his own soul skill at this stage," another soul master said. "What was it called again? Hao Dong Three Absolutes. It was a soul skill he created for Wang Dong'er, and it was very powerful."
"Yes, the Three Wonders of Haodong." Someone chimed in, "That's one of Huo Yuhao's masterpieces in the underworld. Although he handles his emotions terribly, he is indeed quite skilled when it comes to creating his own soul skills."
"I wonder what kind of soul skills Bai Yuhao can create," a female soul master said curiously. "His martial soul is different from that of the Black World. The Black World's is Spirit Eye plus Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, while the White World's is Spirit Eye plus Ice Crystal Phoenix. Since the martial souls are different, the soul skills he creates should also be different."
"Moreover, Bai Yuhao's level is much higher than that of his contemporaries in the Black World." Another Soul Master analyzed, "He is already level 80, while Huo Yuhao in the Black World is only level 60 at this point. The higher the level, the greater the power of the self-created Soul Skills should be."
"I'm quite curious," an older Soul Master said. "Could Bai Yuhao's self-created Soul Skill be related to the Three Wonders of Haodong in the Underworld? After all, they all have Spirit Eye and Ice attribute, so there might be similarities."
"It's hard to say." The person next to him shook his head. "The martial souls are different, and so are the insights. Bai Yuhao's Ice Crystal Phoenix is the inheritance of the Ice God, which is more than one level higher than the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. His self-created soul skills should be stronger than the Hao Dong Three Absolutes."
"Let's wait and see," someone said. "Let's see what he can create."
Discussions rose and fell in the square as everyone speculated about what kind of soul skill Bai Yuhao would create.
The projector continued playing.
Soon, in the sky...
Bai Yuhao's eyes suddenly lit up, and then the aura emanating from his body reached its peak.
His double pupils instantly turned blue, and then he unleashed his self-created soul skill.
