#399 - A legend that will last forever

“Hoohoo.”

The sound of rapid and painful breathing came into her ears. Looking at the figure who was trying hard to support his body but couldn't even sit up, Gu Yuena pursed her lips and spoke softly.

"That's enough. You can't go on any further."

"No"

Huo Yuhao tried hard to maintain his expression which was about to fall apart, and shook his head: “There is only one person left, only one more person left.”

He had just absorbed all of the Evil Emperor's spiritual essence two days ago, and should have been in high spirits, but at the moment he looked so exhausted that he even repeated a sentence twice unconsciously.

Not only his mind, but his body also underwent extremely strange changes.

Through the pale skin, Gu Yuena vaguely caught a glimpse of Huo Yuhao's blood vessels, which seemed to be breathing and constantly flashing with an icy blue color.

The terrifying chill that was escaping had already turned the ground beneath the two people into eternal permafrost, and the moisture in the air also condensed into tiny ice fragments, which rushed to drip onto the ground, making a tiny sound like the noise of snowflakes.

The reason for all this was Huo Yuhao's second soul core with ice attribute that was condensing.

Just as expected, as soon as the soul core began to condense, the almost overflowing energy in his meridians was greatly relieved, and soon there was enough space to continue to accommodate the rest of the soul power.

Taking into account that the soul core has the strongest growth potential when it is first condensed, Huo Yuhao made a prompt decision and decided to take advantage of this hard-won opportunity to let the Ice Emperor and other ice-attributed souls use the Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow to achieve deityhood, and use their power to strengthen his soul core as much as possible.

The risks of doing so are undoubtedly huge.

Although compared to when he condensed the first soul core in the ice sea, Huo Yuhao’s mental power is no longer comparable after he absorbed the spiritual essences of the Sea Princess, the priest-level Tian Meng brother, and the priest-level Evil Emperor.

But correspondingly, the soul core he is going to condense this time will be much stronger than the previous one. If he wants to maintain stability, the consumption of his mental power will increase exponentially.

In addition, when there was only one soul core, he only needed to focus on that one to deal with it. Now that he is condensing the second one, especially the Yin-Yang complementary soul core, he also needs to divide his energy in this process to extract some of the power from the first soul core and maintain its stability. Suddenly, there are several more things to do.

Huo Yuhao had experienced the difficulty of doing this once in his previous life. It can be said that if it were not for the help of Mu Lao and Xue Di, even with his unparalleled qualifications at the time, he would inevitably die in that life-and-death crisis.

However, even in such a difficult situation, Huo Yuhao still chose to continue to increase his strength.

Unlike others who wanted to balance the two soul cores as quickly as possible in order to avoid excessive consumption of mental energy, he did the opposite and chose to prolong the process of condensing the soul core as much as possible, trying to make the three ice-attributed souls, Bingdi, Xiaobai and Bajiao, all become gods and use their power to construct an unprecedented second soul core.

If the Evil Emperor had not joined, Huo Yuhao would definitely not have easily tried such a thing.

After all, the experience of the previous life is there. If the first soul core cannot be replenished after its power is extracted, it will only become more and more violent. Even if it succeeds in the end, the two soul cores will not be able to achieve the desired balance due to size issues.

But now with the addition of the Evil Emperor, everything has become different. Firstly, this guy's priest-level spiritual essence can be used to make up for the part of the first soul core that has been extracted, playing a role similar to that of Mu Lao in his previous life in stabilizing the soul core.

Secondly, after integrating the power of the Evil Emperor, the spiritual soul core is equivalent to possessing the power of two priests, while the ultimate ice soul core possesses the power of three priests: the Ice Emperor, Xiaobai, and Bajiao.

Although the gap of a priest level is also huge, it is still at the point where the balance can be barely maintained. In addition, Xue Di can usually help suppress it through the martial soul fusion technique, so the safety is still guaranteed.

Similarly, thanks to the fact that the power of the Snow Empress was attached to him through a fusion technique, it did not affect the balance between the two soul cores. Otherwise, Huo Yuhao might have really given up on making the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass become a god temporarily.

However, even with such favorable timing and location, the success rate of this matter is still shockingly low. The most crucial point is whether Huo Yuhao's mental strength can support him to complete the process.

She knew that the other party did this in order to be more confident when facing the Ancestor of Asian Dragons, but if his life was lost, everything would be in vain.

She also couldn't just watch her man go crazy and gamble his life.

Just when Gu Yuena was about to take action to forcibly stop Huo Yuhao, she seemed to suddenly sense something and stopped abruptly.

Suddenly, a bright golden light like the dawn burst out from Huo Yuhao's forehead. Once the golden light appeared, his originally painful and distorted expression eased a lot.

Gu Yuena looked at the magical scene in front of her in a daze. After a brief moment of confusion, she immediately realized what had happened.

After completely absorbing the second Evil Eye soul bone, which was of a quality comparable to that of a divine weapon, the Eye of Destiny was finally advanced!

It successfully broke through from the original "one step away" and became a super artifact that only a few people possess even in the God Realm!

In fact, as early as when his head soul bone was upgraded to god level, Huo Yuhao controlled the Eye of Destiny to devour the Evil Eye, all for the purpose of making a desperate effort at this moment.

Although it is still slightly inferior to those old-fashioned super artifacts, it still demonstrates its powerful strength at this moment.

In an instant, Huo Yuhao's remaining mental strength crushed the two soul cores with an even more powerful attitude.

In the face of that incomparable power, the two soul cores suddenly became quiet, without any signs of rioting or struggling. They were extremely well-behaved.

The fusion with the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass continued, but Gu Yuena no longer felt any sense of crisis.

Blue gold, red, red, blue gold, red, blue gold, blue gold.

As time passed, the fifth blood-colored soul ring beneath the seemingly disheveled figure gradually deepened in color and began to turn into blue-gold.

Feeling Huo Yuhao's gradually calming aura, she knew that he was about to succeed.

Dual soul cores of spirit and ultimate ice, four ice attribute and two spirit attribute priest-level souls.

Although he has not even reached the level of a Titled Douluo, he possesses such immense power that ordinary people cannot even approach or even hope to achieve.

In a trance, Gu Yuena recalled the first time they met in the Star Dou Great Forest, when the other party looked so weak with only one spirit ring.

Today, the boy has grown to the point where he can accomplish this amazing feat even without her help.

It was as if it confirmed what she said at the beginning: 'People like you should achieve something.'

She couldn't help but smile and uttered words of anticipation: "The path you have walked will become a legend that will be passed down through the ages."

Bang--

As the door was excitedly pushed open from the outside, a voice filled with surprise and pride echoed from the room.

"I'm finally level 60!"

"No wonder you came so late today. Congratulations, Qiuqiu. Come and sit down."

After congratulating with a smile, Wang Dong'er looked at her best friend Xiao Xiao beside her with a teasing expression.

"Someone is the one lagging farthest behind among us now, why don't you work harder?"

"Humph, you are all like freaks, who can compare to you! Especially you, Dong'er, you were only a Soul Emperor in the competition, but you became a Limit Douluo in less than half a year!"

Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes in annoyance: "And it's because I didn't continue to add spirit rings to my second martial soul, otherwise my cultivation would have reached the level of Soul Emperor long ago!"

"You're still thinking about adding a second spirit ring? The advantage of twin spirits is that the second spirit can add more high-quality spirit rings. You've already added a yellow spirit ring. If you continue to add more, wouldn't that be a waste of talent?"

"I, I did that just to avoid falling behind."

Xiao Xiao felt a little aggrieved. In recent years, she has indeed regretted her impulsive behavior of wasting her talent.

Not to mention cases like Huo Yuhao and Wang Donger which have no reference value at all, let's take Princess Vina, who also has twin spirits. Although she also attached a spirit ring to her second spirit, it was at least ten thousand years old. No matter what, it was much better than her lonely hundred-year yellow spirit.

But there was no way, not all twin martial souls could be paired with full innate soul power, and she was undoubtedly one of the less lucky ones.

When she first entered Shrek, in order to gain a foothold in this top academy on the continent where so many geniuses gathered, she had no choice but to sacrifice some of her future potential.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But from the current situation, the little potential she sacrificed does not seem to be enough to make up for the gap between her and her companions.

Seeing that Xiaoxiao seemed to be in a low mood, Wang Donger suddenly changed the subject and comforted her softly.

"But don't be too sad. I asked Yuhao before, and he said that this situation is not irreparable. You can practice with peace of mind first and don't let it affect your mentality."

“…Ah? Really?!”

Xiao Xiao's eyes widened, full of surprise: "You guys are not lying on purpose to comfort me, are you? I'm just talking, I'm not that fragile"

"Of course it's true. I would never lie to you about this. According to Yuhao, as long as you can find a soul beast that is exactly the same as your soul ring but has a stronger cultivation, you will have a chance to replace the soul ring."

"For this, he even went to the Spirit Pagoda to explain the matter. I heard that the soul beasts found there are about 40,000 years old. However, due to their low intelligence, they are unable to actively compress their power in the process of becoming soul spirits. You need to wait until you reach the Soul Saint level before you can replace them."

"Thanks to your twin martial spirits, you can minimize the losses in the process. If you were an ordinary spirit master, your cultivation would plummet the moment you lost your spirit ring, or even be locked in the upper limit forever, unable to step into the Titled Douluo realm."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xiao pursed her lips after hearing this, and tears appeared visibly in her eyes.

"Dong'er, thank you..."

Wang Dong'er did not refuse, and nodded with a look of satisfaction: "Then how do you want to thank me?"

"Forehead……"

As if she was stumped by this question, Xiao Xiao hesitated for a long time and then cautiously suggested, "How about next time when you and Yuhao are intimate, I'll be there to cheer you up?"

"?"

Wang Dong'er's cheeks flushed red, and she slapped Xiao Xiao's head in annoyance: "Is this your way of thanking me? Are you thanking me or Yuhao?"

“Ahem, you two have helped, so of course I have it. And every time I see you and Huo Yuhao, I have to lie in bed for two or three days, so I want to give you some encouragement…”

Xiao Xiao rubbed her hands with a dry laugh, and asked with a bit of curiosity in her eyes: "Is Yu Hao really that powerful? You are already a Limit Douluo, but you are still tortured so badly."

"It's not a question of whether he's powerful or not. That guy is simply..."

Recalling the times when Huo Yuhao tormented her, Wang Donger's face turned even redder and she subconsciously changed the subject.

"Humph, if you are so curious, why don't you go find Yuhao and try it yourself? I remember someone threatened to go with me at the beginning. Why, are you afraid now?"

"Who, who is scared? We just agreed that I would go with you only if I won the game, but we haven't played since then."

Xiao Xiao said this, but in her mind came the experience of Zhu Lu being tossed around and unable to move for several days before Huo Yuhao left, and she felt a little scared for no reason.

However, Wang Dong'er did not intend to indulge her. When she was about to say something, there was a knock on the door again.

"Dong'er, someone is looking for you at the entrance of the academy."

"Looking for me?"

Wang Dong'er subconsciously stood up and opened the door. She first greeted the girl with heterochromatic eyes standing at the door, and then asked curiously.

"Zhu Lu, you just said someone was looking for me? Who?"

"It's a beautiful woman whom I've never seen before. She didn't reveal her name, though. By the way, she looks a bit like you."

"How similar do you look to me?"

Wang Dong'er was even more confused, but then, as if she had thought of something, her expression changed slightly: "Where is she now?"

"The college teacher has invited her to the reception room of the faculty building of the outer courtyard. Do you want to go and meet her?"

"Thank you very much. I'll be there now."

Without even having time to explain to the two people in the room, she rushed out and arrived in front of the living room in the blink of an eye.

The teacher who was waiting at the door obviously recognized her. He nodded and turned to help her open the door.

The reception room was not very big. Apart from a simple long table with tea sets on it and a few chairs, there was nothing else furnished.

Almost immediately, Wang Dong'er's eyes involuntarily fell on the beautiful figure sitting on the chair with her back to the door.

Judging from the fact that the tea in front of him was no longer steaming, the other party had obviously been waiting here for a while, and he subconsciously turned around when he heard the movement behind him.

The two people's eyes met from a distance, and they were both stunned for a moment.

After a long time, the woman who came to her senses first suddenly had tears in her eyes and whispered in a gentle tone.

"Xiao Qi, you have grown up."

Wang Dong'er frowned, subconsciously took a step back, and asked in a somewhat wary tone.

"Who are you?"
