After thinking for a while without reaching a conclusion, Huo Yuhao temporarily set the matter aside, planning to find an opportunity to test her in the future.
Since they were both members of the Spirit Transmission Tower, they would inevitably meet sooner or later.
Seeing Huo Yuhao withdraw his thoughts and begin cultivating, Skydream Iceworm spoke up:
"Yuhao, can we talk this over again? Brother really can't provide you with any more spirit rings. Brother's spirit abilities have been completely wrung dry by you. The second spirit ring came from something you and I fiddled with out of boredom over these ten thousand years. For the third spirit ring, I really don't have a suitable spirit ability! I can't just give you Spiritual Shock again, can I?"
Skydream Iceworm had no idea what Huo Yuhao was thinking. Why was he asking him to produce several more spirit rings? Was that something he could do? He was just a weakling. He didn't have the spirit abilities, nor the capability, alright?
He should ask the Evil Emperor! That one was the real spiritual spirit beast big shot definitely capable!
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao fell into thought and did not answer immediately.
A hundred-year Spirit Soul could provide two spirit rings, a thousand-year could provide three, and a Savage Beast Spirit Soul could provide as many as six spirit rings.
In his view, most of the Spirit Souls on his body had extremely high years. So rather than absorbing other ten-thousand-year Spirit Souls, why not develop the potential of the Spirit Souls he already had?
For a million-year Spirit Soul like Skydream to provide only one spirit ring even if that ring had four spirit abilities still seemed like a waste.
Might as well trouble Skydream a bit more to provide a few extra spirit rings. Even if each ring had only one million-year spirit ability, it would still be worthwhile.
Hmm — Huo Yuhao's demands were not high. Going by the fact that a Savage Beast Spirit Soul could provide six spirit abilities, he only wanted Skydream to provide two more spirit rings.
This was also the reason he had joined the Spirit Transmission Tower directly. With the Tower's ten thousand years of research data and information on Spirit Souls, combined with his and Elder Electrolux's research on Spirit Souls, making his existing Spirit Souls provide several more spirit rings was not a difficult matter.
However, regarding Skydream's spirit abilities, he had a bold idea.
"Yuhao, just say it directly what kind of spirit ability do you want?" Ice Empress glanced at Skydream Iceworm, who was floating limply in the Sea of Spirit as if already drained, and shook her head. "He's not reliable."
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment upon hearing this, then took out a book. "This is a record of Self-Combination Martial Soul Techniques. Over the past ten thousand years, several Twin Martial Soul spirit masters have been able to perform Combination Martial Soul Techniques by themselves."
"What?" Ice Empress was startled. "A Combination Martial Soul Technique can be performed solo? Then what did they enhance?"
"If forced to draw an analogy they used two martial souls to synthesize a stronger martial soul, and naturally, the power of the spirit abilities they used would also increase."
This was Huo Yuhao's own understanding of the Self-Combination Martial Soul Technique. After all, when multiple people performed a Combination Martial Soul Technique, in addition to the fusion of martial souls, there was also the blessing of others' spirit power and spiritual power. With the Self-Combination Martial Soul Technique, however, one still used only one's own power. The only thing that truly merged and became stronger was the martial soul itself.
That salted fish from Soul Land IV was an exception he also had the blessing of a divine seat...
"This is truly hard for This Emperor to believe..."
Ice Empress was speechless for a long time.
Times had changed. Twin Martial Soul users could now perform Combination Martial Soul Techniques on their own. The speed of spirit master evolution was too fast. Would humans be able to produce their own spirit rings one day?
Fortunately, she had chosen to invest in Yuhao early. Without the Spirit Soul contract, spirit beasts would probably be extinct by now.
After a moment of silence, Ice Empress frowned. "So, you want to achieve a Self-Combination Martial Soul Technique?"
"I believe it is possible."
Huo Yuhao stopped cultivating and began to explain softly, causing even Skydream to stop his lazing around and listen earnestly.
He had thought he couldn't help, but since Yuhao seemed to have an idea, he was willing to trust him. This was trust formed over ten thousand years.
"Ice Empress, Brother Skydream do you still remember how my second martial soul came about?"
"Skydream added an extra martial soul slot for you, and then absorbing me completed it..."
As she said this, Ice Empress paused. She and Skydream, who had also just realized it, looked at each other, their hearts filled with doubt.
Why had they never thought of this before?
"It seems you have already realized it. A Combination Martial Soul Technique requires the martial souls to be compatible. The Ice-Jade Emperor Scorpion rings and the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul are naturally far apart and cannot be said to be compatible. But the former came precisely from Brother Skydream's Day After Nurture addition, and Brother Skydream is also the provider of the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul's spirit these two martial souls inherently have a connection!"
Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered. "Therefore, I believe it is possible for the two martial souls to perform a Combination Martial Soul Technique."
Ice Empress: "So, you want to use the spirit rings provided by Skydream to achieve the Combination Martial Soul Technique?"
"I need a medium. After all, the second martial soul slot was provided by Brother Skydream. Only his spirit rings can connect the two martial souls. After that, I will still need to grasp the various key points of the martial soul fusion myself."
Huo Yuhao nodded.
Since he had the chance to re-cultivate, to tear everything down and start over, it would not be a bad idea to try some things he had not attempted in the past. The more foundation, the better.
Ice Empress murmured, "No wonder you temporarily stopped at Level 30..."
With two spirit bones, the spirit ring she had provided, and the resources of the Spirit Transmission Tower, Huo Yuhao could have progressed faster and more spirit power. Yet he had stayed at Level 30 for a while. She had not understood before, but now she finally did.
Skydream Iceworm stood up from his lying position and said firmly:
"Alright, I can do it. What needs to be done?"
"Are you really sure you have no problem?" Ice Empress looked at Skydream's expression as if he were facing death and bit her lip. "This won't be easy. Yuhao never said this work must be done on the third spirit ring. You can provide the spirit ring later."
Skydream's eyes widened, and he let out a silly laugh. "Bingbing, are you worried about me? Don't worry, I have no problem. Even if I die, I will help Yuhao complete the Self-Combination Martial Soul Technique!"
Huo Yuhao: That's really not necessary. And it's been ten thousand years — stop simping, Brother Skydream...
Watching their interaction, Huo Yuhao's expression became strange.
After ten thousand years, the way Skydream and Ice Empress interacted with each other was becoming harder and harder for him to understand.
Ice Empress seemed to have passively mastered the method of handling Brother Skydream, but Skydream also seemed to enjoy it pain and pleasure intertwined...
The situation was too chaotic. He couldn't understand it, couldn't understand it.
Meanwhile, the little ice silkworm staying in the corner of the Sea of Spirit watched Skydream's performance with deep distress.
Ancestor, how can you be like this? You are the head of the Extreme North's Four Heavenly Kings, a million-year spirit beast. Stand up for yourself!
After a chaotic commotion in the Sea of Spirit, everyone calmed down and began discussing the design concept for the Combination Martial Soul Technique.
"Brother Skydream, can you solidify the ability you used back then to provide the second martial soul into the Spirit Eyes' third spirit ability?"
"Hmm?!"
Huo Yuhao's first question already put Skydream in a difficult position.
"Yuhao, that was a one-time ability that came with me becoming a million-year spirit beast. I never considered its principle. Besides, I've already used it. I'm afraid I can't solidify it into a spirit ability."
"Spirit beasts initially only have a vague understanding of their innate spirit abilities."
Huo Yuhao said gently: "You don't need to know how it works. Even if it's a one-time ability, it is still truly your ability. What belongs to you no one can take it away! That ability must be etched into your soul. As long as you can recall it, I can convert it into a spirit ability through our contract!"
Skydream Iceworm fell into recollection upon hearing this.
How had he given Huo Yuhao his second martial soul? He needed to remember. The feeling at that time, the sensation, and his own ability...
Threads of golden radiance began to circle around Huo Yuhao's body, trying to condense into the shape of a spirit ring.
Huo Yuhao did not let Skydream Iceworm fight alone. He directly used Spiritual Sharing to connect their spirits, recalling the feeling of Ice Empress merging into his body.
For Huo Yuhao, what had truly changed his qualifications was Skydream's ability to grant others a second martial arts soul!
The tearing pain of his body on the day he absorbed Ice Empress, and the joy of a martial soul seeming to grow within his body — he would never forget...
The constructed Spirit Soul contract eventually caused their memories to intertwine. A translucent White-Gold Spirit Ring gradually rose around Huo Yuhao's body.
Skydream Iceworm: "Yuhao, no. I no longer have my original foundation. My energy is insufficient to construct the spirit ring for this spirit ability..."
