Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The silence in the room was broken by rapid breathing, and Huo Yuhao suddenly sat up in bed.
His forehead was soaked with cold sweat and stuck to the panel. His chest heaved violently, and every breath felt heavy, as if he had just survived a catastrophe.
His gaze swept quickly around him, and he knew that he had traveled through time once again.
He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. This time, he had actually traveled back in time during his fusion with Hyotei!
Fusing a second martial soul is not as easy and simple as forming a soul contract.
That was a process of fundamentally reshaping his life essence and energy circuits. Every meridian, every bone, every cell seemed to be repeatedly crushed and reassembled by extreme cold and violent soul power, the pain far exceeding the limits of the body and reaching the depths of the soul.
With astonishing willpower, Huo Yuhao persevered through inhuman torture, his consciousness like a lone boat in a storm, never completely sinking.
But that last memory was already blurry, and he wasn't sure if the fusion had been completed at the moment the time travel occurred.
He immediately focused his mind and looked inward to check his own condition.
The first thing he noticed was the significant change in his body. An unprecedented sense of power filled his limbs and bones. His physical strength, which was already far superior to that of his peers due to the cultivation of the Body Sect's secret techniques, seemed to have undergone another round of tempering and had been greatly enhanced.
This is an increase in life level brought about by the 400,000-year-old Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's torso bone!
Once his mind was at ease, he immediately immersed his consciousness into his own spiritual sea.
"Yuhao!!"
The ethereal white figure of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm pounced over almost instantly, its round little face filled with excitement and exhilaration.
"We did it! We really did it!"
"You are now a Soul Master with twin martial souls! Your original martial soul is the Spirit Eyes, and your ultimate ice is the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion!"
"Looking at the history of mainland China, this is an unprecedented combination!"
'Was it successful?'
Huo Yuhao felt a weight lifted from his heart, and an indescribable joy welled up within him. He looked at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and nodded vigorously.
Then, his gaze turned to the other side of the sea of spirit. There, a small figure was quietly curled up.
It was a human girl who looked only seven or eight years old, wearing a simple dress made of emerald green light, and with two cute emerald green pigtails.
Her eyes were closed, her long eyelashes casting soft shadows on her fair, ethereal skin, and her delicate features possessed an innate beauty.
At this moment, she was surrounded by faint, emerald-green, cold light, and curled up as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm followed Huo Yuhao's gaze, and the excited look in her eyes was quickly replaced by a kind of almost devout tenderness.
"Hyotei... the fusion process consumed a great deal of energy, and after the fusion was completed, she fell into a deep sleep."
"However, Elder Yi has examined it and said that Hyotei's soul essence is stable, and he should be able to wake up naturally in a few days."
Huo Yuhao looked at the sleeping Ice Emperor, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
This ferocious beast, which once ruled the far north, has now become a part of his power and destiny in this form.
The cause and effect, and the transformation, are nothing short of miraculous.
Having confirmed the successful fusion with Ice Emperor, Huo Yuhao's consciousness quickly withdrew from the Sea of Spirit and returned to reality.
No matter how calm and composed he usually appears, it doesn't change the fact that he is just a nine-year-old child.
At this moment, the excitement of childhood and the eagerness to try out new power made him take a deep breath and impatiently activate his martial sou
However, this time, the spirit rings rising from his feet were no longer two black and one white. Instead, there are two blood-red soul rings!
The red light was rich and deep, as if it were formed from the purest essence of slaughter and life. Four dazzling golden lines evenly encircle this crimson soul ring.
That's right, this is the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul, which now has its first and second spirit rings, both 400,000-year spirit rings!
Now, the Ice Emperor has become Huo Yuhao's soul spirit, and with her 400,000 years of life experience, she is enough to add four soul rings to Huo Yuhao.
However, considering the practicality of soul skills, after the initial discussion, only two soul rings were added to Huo Yuhao.
However, these two 400,000-year-old spirit rings with two soul skills, along with the 400,000-year-old torso bone, brought Huo Yuhao a total of six powerful spirit skills!
As the martial soul possessed him, an indescribable aura of extreme cold erupted from Huo Yuhao without warning!
"Click, click..."
The fine sound of icing, like the rapid beat of drums, spread wildly at a visible speed from where Huo Yuhao stood, like living white vines!
The floor, walls, ceiling... everything in sight was covered with a layer of ice crystals with a faint blue luster with every breath!
The entire room instantly transformed into a snowy wonderland!
"Bang!!!"
Almost at the same instant the room was covered in frost, the heavy metal door was blasted open from the outside by an immense force!
A fiery red figure appeared before Huo Yuhao as if teleporting, carrying an intense aura.
The newcomer was tall and slender, with long, fiery red hair that moved without wind, and her beautiful face showed a hint of nervousness. It was Leng Yaozhu!
She sensed something unusual in Huo Yuhao's room and, thinking he was in danger, rushed over.
However, when her sharp gaze fell on Huo Yuhao, especially when she saw the two red spirit rings with four golden patterns shimmering at his feet...
The tense worry on Leng Yaozhu's face froze instantly, then turned into disbelief and shock!
Then, Leng Yaozhu raised her right hand with lightning speed and slashed it through the air!
"Buzz!"
A condensed, almost tangible barrier of soul power instantly enveloped the entire room!
At this moment, she watched as Huo Yuhao withdrew his martial spirit, her eyes shining brightly, and he smiled, "Aunt Leng, I succeeded!"
Just a few simple words, but Leng Yaozhu understood his meaning instantly.
As Huo Yuhao had previously stated, he had begun preparing to acquire his second martial soul ten thousand years ago.
The scene just now has proven that Huo Yuhao is now a Soul Master with twin Martial Souls.
Moreover, his second martial soul already possesses a soul spirit that is 400,000 years old! The current Huo Yuhao is now truly in his complete form.
Leng Yaozhu's heart was also filled with indescribable joy and excitement.
She took a deep breath, and a bright and proud smile curved her red lips: "Yuhao, congratulations."
However, her expression quickly turned serious than ever before, and she solemnly instructed, "Yuhao, listen carefully. Unless you are in a life-or-death situation and have no other choice, never, ever reveal your second martial soul."
Huo Yuhao nodded obediently, but then seemed to think of something and tentatively asked, "Then... should we also keep it from Elder Han for the time being?"
Leng Yaozhu shook her head firmly: "Don't reveal anything to Elder Han for the time being."
"I understand, Aunt Leng."
Huo Yuhao's face also turned serious, and he agreed earnestly.
He knew that once his identity was exposed, he didn't know how much trouble it would cause.
Therefore, it's right to be cautious in everything!
The solemn expression on her face softened, and a warm smile returned.
She gently ruffled Huo Yuhao's hair, her tone softening: "Don't be too nervous, and don't feel pressured."
"I will find a way, and there will be a suitable opportunity for your talent to shine in its most dazzling way."
"Um!"
Huo Yuhao responded again; he had absolute faith in Leng Yaozhu.
Leng Yaozhu flicked her finger, and a flame the size of a soybean flew out, circled the room once, and the layer of ice that had just appeared instantly vaporized and dissipated.
Then she said, "Get ready, we're going to Shrek this afternoon!"

A/N: Yuhao finally has Ice Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul. The author should really describe the soul skills when Yuhao gets them. Other that Soul Lash Xiao Yin gave him when he first fused we don't know anything about his Soul Skills.
Anyways, I hope all of you are enjoying the story so far. I would appreciate some Power stones if you could spare any. Thank you!
