Chapter 2, Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm (3)

So weak, so weak. This is truly pitiful. I feel so sorry for myself! How many seals must I place upon myself to enable this frail body to endure? This wise soul ring is truly not easy to bear

At this moment, the southern part of the Starry Forest is eerily quiet.

Deep within the Starry Forest, several terrifying presences began to fluctuate violently at the same time, as if sensing something, yet they were destined to return empty-handed

In the face of the immense mental impact from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, this vague and illusory figure seemed to be completely unaffected, swiftly darting into the back of Huo Yuhao's head and disappearing without a trace

Tang Ya anxiously examined Huo Yuhao's body and said, "What use is there in saying these things now? It's all my fault for insisting on washing my hands and face, which wasted time. If anything happens to Xiao Yuhao because of this, I will never forgive myself. No matter what his talent is, I have already made up my mind; I must persuade him to join our Tang Sect"

The luminous white gradually faded, and a faint ice blue began to emerge from under Huo Yuhao's skin. After lasting for about ten seconds, it gradually dissipated, restoring the original color of his skin. His body also tilted and fell against the large tree he had been leaning on earlier

As the thunderous roar resounded, the immense body of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which was merging itself into Huo Yuhao, trembled violently. Its two golden eyes rolled upward, gazing into the sky. A look of horror immediately appeared in its eyes, mixed with a hint of confusion, clearly indicating that the oppressive atmosphere in the sky was unrelated to it and exceeded its understanding

Huo Yuhao's body had completely transformed into a jade-like white, resembling the earlier Tianmeng Iceworm. The wounds on his shoulders were healing at a visibly rapid pace

Tang Ya was taken aback for a moment, then looked up and glared at Bei Bei, saying, "Why didn't you say so earlier? You made me anxious."

"It can't be this unfortunate. After all the effort to find a human with a spiritual attribute, there are still bastards trying to compete with me. Is it that heaven is jealous of exceptional talent? I feel so pitiful!" Although he was complaining, the movements of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm were not slow at all. The dense white light gradually became more solid, slowly infusing into Huo Yuhao's body, while its main body became increasingly transparent during this process, and its size rapidly shrank. The moment it began to inject its power into Huo Yuhao's body, there was no turning back or alternative.

The large pit on the road has inexplicably closed up, and apart from the fallen Huo Yuhao, only the corpse of the baboon he killed not far away remains. Everything else seems to have returned to normal.

Just as the voice of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm completely faded away, a circle of luminous white light quietly emerged beneath Huo Yuhao. It circled around his body three times before gradually dissipating and merging back into him, disappearing without a trace

An invisible wave of spiritual energy spread outward from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm as it surged into Huo Yuhao's body. The terrifying mental power almost instantaneously enveloped every corner within a diameter of one hundred miles.

Beibei then approached the baboon, turning its body over. It was evident that the baboon had a long gash, over a foot in length, slashed diagonally across its chest, with the heart also punctured. This was clearly its fatal injury

A thin, pale golden film quietly lifted off the ground, rapidly shrinking before condensing into a ball that dove into Huo Yuhao's embrace and vanished. The Tianmeng Iceworm left no trace of its presence behind.

A very vague figure emerged behind Huo Yuhao, and an ancient voice, imbued with an indescribable majesty, resonated: "With the sun and moon in hand, I pluck the stars; there is no one in this world like me. I never expected that this old man could still retain a trace of his lingering soul."

As Beibei and Tang Ya were hastening their journey to catch up with Huo Yuhao, they were suddenly enveloped by this wave of mental energy, causing them to fall into a brief stupor. The mental shock did not possess significant destructive power, but it was capable of rendering all living beings incapable of thought for a short period.

In a startled exclamation, a figure instantly accelerated and swiftly arrived beside Huo Yuhao, coming to a halt.

We arrived late; it seems that Huo Yuhao has been attacked. These soul beasts are becoming increasingly audacious, and they have even ventured out of the Star Dou Forest!" Tang Ya carefully helped Huo Yuhao up from the ground, her face filled with frustration and concern

Beibei's right index finger lightly touched Huo Yuhao's wrist, and the White Tiger Dagger fell into his grasp. A faint blue light flashed on Beibei's hand and then vanished, instantly causing a layer of bluish radiance to emerge on the White Tiger Dagger.

Hmph! Tang Ya supported Huo Yuhao, allowing him to lean against her. After confirming that he indeed had no major issues, she finally breathed a sigh of relief

This is a wind baboon. Given its size and muscle strength, it should be at the level of a ten-year soul beast. It has already died. Beibei crouched down next to Tang Ya to check on Huo Yuhao's condition together with her

Hahaha, no matter what, I am finally free. Those bastards who treated me as food, you no longer have a chance. Hahaha. The triumphant voice of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm gradually diminished, and the vast mental power that had previously covered a diameter of one hundred miles also retracted at an astonishing speed, gradually disappearing

Beibei helplessly said: "Who would have thought you couldn't even see this."

A gray current of air descended from the sky as if it had encountered a tremendous suction, and in an instant, it quietly penetrated into the back of Huo Yuhao's head.

In a short time, two figures rushed towards this direction at an extremely fast speed

This is a soul guiding device. Yu Hao must have used it to kill the wind baboon. Although this wind baboon is only a ten-year soul beast, its speed and strength are quite impressive, and it possesses a life soul skill to attack enemies. For someone of Yu Hao's younger age to be able to kill it is already quite remarkable. It seems that our previous assessment of Yu Hao was not accurate enough; he should already be at the level of a one-ring soul master.

Beibei looked at Tang Ya's anxiety, and his gaze softened even more. What he liked most was Tang Ya's genuine kindness. "Don't worry, he's fine. Didn't you see that his breathing is normal? Is there any injury on him? From the position where he fainted, it seems he lost consciousness after being knocked against a tree during the battle with the wind baboon. He should be able to recover after resting for a while"

"What dares to compete with me for people?" Tianmeng Iceworm was furious, and a massive wave of spiritual energy surged forth, attempting to expel the gray mist from Huo Yuhao's body

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm dared not increase its mental force impact any further, as blood vessels had already begun to seep from the seven orifices of Huo Yuhao. It noticed that the gray air flow, upon entering Huo Yuhao's mind, immediately transformed into a gray bead the size of a mung bean, and then fell silent. It neither conflicted with its own power nor was it influenced by it.

To the astonishment of both, although Huo Yuhao's clothes were severely torn, no wounds were found on his body

At that moment, the sky, which had been exceptionally clear just a moment ago, suddenly darkened. A thunderous roar echoed in the high heavens, and in that instant, the sun's brilliance was completely obscured by darkness. A tremendous pressure, so overwhelming that it was hard to breathe, descended from above.

Huo Yuhao was completely unaware that, unbeknownst to him, he had truly acquired his first soul ring, and it was indeed a soul ring that was absolutely unique in the history of Douluo Continent
