After the Beast Kings collectively chose to submit, the myriad beasts of the far north behind them also lowered their heads, prostrating themselves and emitting low growls.
The low growls from the myriad beasts converged in the sky above the core area of the far north, twisting into a single force, shaking apart the millennia-old snow on the Ice God Throne, revealing deep blue solid ice!
Under the sunlight cascading down like a waterfall in the sky, it emitted a seven-colored light, which swirled around Huo Yuhao's body like a crown.
Su Tong's icy blue eyes recorded the scene intently.
The scattered blazing sun, the calmed snow, the subdued beasts of the far north, the seven-colored light, and her teacher standing before her.
This would surely be the most unforgettable scene of her life!
She had witnessed her teacher's coronation! And she was also one of only two witnesses to this historic event that was enough to change the course of the continent!
"
I'm exhausted!"
In the Snow Emperor's Palace in the core area of the far north, Huo Yuhao lay sprawled on the throne in the center of the palace like a salted fish.
His eyes, which had once intimidated all the beasts of the far north, now looked like those of a dead fish.
This was originally the Snow Emperor's residence, but now that she was one with him, they were like brothers. Since they were brothers, what more was there to say?
The Snow Emperor had directly given him this palace, including all the treasures within!
Huo Yuhao was truly exhausted! After the coronation ceremony, thirty-five beast kings, including the Ice Emperor, paid their respects to Huo Yuhao in turn.
Several of them almost knelt on the ground upon seeing Huo Yuhao, their eyes, larger than Huo Yuhao's, practically bursting into tears.
They almost sang, "If you come through three winters, I'll be dressed in snow-white robes..."
Huo Yuhao could tell at a glance that these beast kings, nearing their end, desperately wanted to improve!
Since they were so eager, Huo Yuhao couldn't remain silent.
Huo Yuhao directly gave the Ice Dragon King and the Ice Phoenix King two Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrows.
With these marrows, the two beast kings were much more confident in facing the 300,000-year Heavenly Tribulation. They then loudly proclaimed within the Snow Emperor's Palace that they could never repay Huo Yuhao's kindness,
calling him the only sun in the far north and the only light in their hearts! They
completely lacked any dignity befitting dragons and phoenixes!
The Ice Dragons of the far north are descendants of ancient Ice Dragons, a branch of the Water Dragon King's lineage, and can barely be considered true dragons.
At least in the outside world's Soul Beast Catalog, Ice Dragons are true dragons.
And the ancient Ice Dragons were genuine true dragons! Their bloodline was no weaker than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, and according to the Ice Dragon King's description, they were stronger than the Ice Emperor in terms of ice attributes.
The Ice Phoenix, needless to say, already possessed one of the purest phoenix bloodlines among all phoenix races on the Douluo Continent!
The Light Phoenix was extinct, the Fire Phoenix had vanished without a trace, and only the Jade Phoenix could still find a habitat in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Huo Yuhao was so embarrassed by their exaggerated performance that he almost dug a two-bedroom apartment out of the ice with his toes.
The Snow Empress, residing in the Sea of Spirit, revealed a dangerous smile, though she wouldn't actually attack the two beasts.
Huo Yuhao then gave the Titan Snow Demon King and the Ice Bear King, Xiaobai, two pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow to help them quickly break through 300,000 years.
Huo Yuhao also wanted to give some to the Ice Empress, but she refused.
This girl was arrogant; she tossed her green twin tails north of the Snow Empress's palace, turned her face to the side, and said no, she wanted to break through 400,000 years on her own.
The Ice Empress, who originally planned to sacrifice herself directly to Huo Yuhao, decided to break through to 400,000 years first before sacrificing herself.
That would provide Huo Yuhao with a greater boost!
Seeing the Ice Empress about to fly away from the Snow Empress's palace, Huo Yuhao hurriedly shouted at her,
"Ice Empress, you must reconsider your soul skill!"
"Don't embarrass the Far North!"
The emerald green meteor that the Ice Empress had transformed into paused in mid-air, narrowly avoiding flying back to fight Huo Yuhao.
There was no way around it; Huo Yuhao was genuinely terrified!
In the original story, the soul skills given to him by the Ice Emperor were truly useless!
The Ice Emperor's Claw and Ice Emperor's Body Protection were utterly ridiculous, a complete waste of that 100,000-year soul ring.
If Huo Yuhao's abilities in the original story were ranked by cost-effectiveness, these two soul skills would definitely be near the bottom!
Huo Yuhao didn't want his opponent to give him those same two soul skills again for his Snow Empress martial soul.
According to the triangle of soul skill composition—soul beast, martial soul, and soul master—
soul beasts have a significant impact on soul skills. The Ice Emperor, during her sacrifice, could maintain her sanity with the help of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which would have an even greater influence on her soul skills.
"Teacher, the inventory is done."
Su
Tong walked unhappily to the throne and handed the list to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao knew from her expression that his cheap apprentice was still angry with him.
He reluctantly took the list from Su Tong. So what if she was angry? At least she wasn't breathing on him.
"Alright, I'll treat you to a big meal later!"
Su Tong turned away and said, "Forget about the cola and hamburgers."
"Don't worry, it's not hamburgers. I'll cook it myself and let you try my signature grilled fish!"
"My grilled fish, the taste is something you have to experience to know!"
Huo Yuhao gave Su Tong a confident smile.
He might be even more talented at grilling fish than at mental power! He could totally act in the Food Wars! series next door!
Su Tong sighed, tucked her long, smooth black hair behind her ear to reveal her delicate profile, and said to Huo Yuhao,
"Teacher, why
don't you take a look at the list first?" "Also, can you please cheer up a little?"
Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed again; forcing such a grand spectacle with his Divine Origin Realm mental power was taking its toll. He
was determined never again to imitate Magneto from the golden age of movies in his past life, creating such a grand spectacle before any operation.
It almost killed him!
"Let me see what good stuff is here."
"Ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus, ice-grade divine crystal, ten-thousand-year-old silkworm grass, ice source..."
"Eight hundred-thousand-year-old soul bones, twenty ten-thousand-year-old soul bones."
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, then looked at Su Tong and said,
"The Snow Empress said, if there are any soul bones you like, just take them."
"No need to be polite."
"They're our stuff, use them as you please!"
"Oh, right, I notified the soul beast races in the far north, asking them to bring all their hundred-thousand-year-old soul bones."
"Let me see if there's anything suitable for you."
Su Tong was a little at a loss. Outsiders would fight tooth and nail for a thousand-year-old soul bone, but the hundred-thousand-year-old soul bones here were like stones on the roadside.
It felt like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.
When she was in the Snow Empress's treasury earlier, she could clearly feel that those hundred-thousand-year-old soul bones were very well preserved!
The soul power fluctuations and bloodline aura emanating from these soul bones all proclaimed that they were definitely super soul beasts in their lifetime!
Seeing Su Tong's hesitation, Huo Yuhao shook his head. This child was good in every way, except for being too reserved!
"Alright, I'll have your Sister Xue Di pick out a few suitable ones for you."
Then Huo Yuhao tossed the problem to Xue Di in his spiritual sea.
After seeing the list, Xue Di said,
"These soul bones? They were left behind by soul beasts that didn't submit to my rule before."
"If you ask me, the soul bones suitable for Su Tong are…"
"This right leg bone from an Ice Extreme Demon Beast should have a soul skill like Extreme Ice Amplification."
"That left arm bone from a Xuanbing Jiao should have the bloodline soul skill Xuanbing Storm."
Afterwards, Xue Di carefully selected two soul bones from the eight 100,000-year soul bones that were most suitable for her:
the torso bone of an Ice Tyrannosaurus Rex and the skull of a Blizzard Queen.
Both soul bone skills were quite excellent. The Ice Tyrannosaurus Rex's soul bone skills were Tyrant Armor and Ice Frenzy, one a defensive soul skill and the other an amplifying soul skill.
The Blizzard Queen's skull skills were Teleportation and Storm, very good functional soul skills.
Huo Yuhao instructed Su Tong to find the two soul bones in the Snow Empress's treasury and absorb them on the spot.
Seeing that her teacher had spoken, Su Tong didn't hesitate and went directly to the treasury to retrieve the soul bones.
It was unlikely that the Ice Heaven Snow Maiden of Ultimate Ice would have any problems absorbing these two soul bones; he wasn't Xuan Lao, and his spiritual power was constantly monitoring Su Tong.
"Yuhao, aren't you going to pick a few of these soul bones?"
"Are you waiting for soul bones from other races?"
the Snow Empress asked Huo Yuhao with suspicion.
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said,
"Ice attribute soul bones aren't suitable for me, and I'm not entirely satisfied with the soul skills either."
"You should have noticed; I prefer spirit over ice."
The Snow Empress nodded, after all, she was the future master of spirit.
"By the way, the Mermaid Clan lives in the icy sea west of the Far North!"
"They are pure spirit attribute soul beasts!"
"I have a good relationship with their queen—the Sea Princess; perhaps I can get a suitable soul bone from them."
"The Sea Princess?"
Huo Yuhao stroked his chin, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
This clan is indeed purely spiritual, which is very suitable for Huo Yuhao. However, as a sea spirit beast, they have some connection with Tang San.
This clan highly reveres Tang San, and Huo Yuhao doesn't want another Tang Buddha follower in his spiritual sea.
Let alone whether Huo Yuhao agrees or not, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm would probably fight them to the death.
So Huo Yuhao shook his head and said,
"It can be considered a direction, we'll discuss it later."
While Huo Yuhao was talking with Xue Di, the Ice Phoenix King came to Xue Di's palace again. This time, she came to deliver a spirit bone.
"Your Majesty!"
"This is a spirit bone treasured by the Ice Phoenix clan. The old Ice Dragon clan asked me to bring it over."
A beautiful woman in a white palace dress gazed fervently at Huo Yuhao on the throne. She brought two soul bones and presented them to him using her soul power.
Huo Yuhao took the soul bones and was somewhat surprised.
Both soul bones were external soul bones.
The first soul bone was a pair of ice-blue wings, clearly an external soul bone of the Ice Phoenix clan.
The other was a right arm bone, from which extended a blue longsword, likely a soul bone of the Ice Dragon clan.
Huo Yuhao became interested, played with the two soul bones for a moment, and said to the Ice Phoenix King,
"Very good! You've put in a lot of effort!"
A blush appeared on the Ice Phoenix King's fair face, clearly pleased.
"Thank you for the praise, Your Majesty!"
Afterwards, Huo Yuhao gestured for the other party to leave, looked at the two soul bones, shook his head and said,
"A 100,000-year external soul bone, in the outside world, it would make various forces beat the dog's brains out."
"Unfortunately, I don't need it."
First of all, the wings of the Ice Phoenix Clan are not as good as a direct Susanoo, and the sword-type soul bone, the Remnant Dream Blade is very resistant to. The Remnant
Dream Blade hates this kind of flashy and cheap thing that steals her ecological niche.
"It's a bargain for Su Tong."
"Perfect, I can teach Su Tong the Emperor Sword later."
"What kind of talk is it if the Ice Heaven Snow Maiden doesn't know the Emperor Sword!"
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, then threw the right arm bone of the Ice Dragon Clan in front of Su Tong.
Su Tong had just finished absorbing a 100,000-year soul bone, and then saw another external soul bone of ridiculously high quality. She tilted her head to the side, completely dumbfounded.
After realizing that it was the third soul bone given by her expensive master, Su Tong pursed her lips.
In her memory, even her cheap father had never been so good to her.
During this time, she had been eating everything from rare treasures to snacks, and could freely choose from 100,000-year soul bones.
Her teacher had truly given her her whole heart! She didn't know how she could repay her in the future.
As for Huo Yuhao, he would definitely give his disciple the best; he couldn't let his disciple risk his life to obtain resources like Yu Xiaogang had done.
As a teacher, he had to play a role and guide his disciple.
...
Two and a half months later.
Su Tong had absorbed all three soul bones, and Huo Yuhao had finally fully taken over the entire far north.
Now, from the outer forests of the far north to the core area, everyone was whispering Huo Yuhao's name.
Now he was the only sun in the far north!
Huo Yuhao temporarily entrusted the affairs of the far north to the Ice Phoenix King and the Titan Snow Demon King.
At the same time, he ordered the Ice Bear King, Xiaobai, to mine the extremely abundant rare metals in the far north!
Many 10,000-year soul beasts in the far north accelerated their cultivation, intending to break through to 100,000-year soul beasts!
Even if they died, they had to leave behind soul bones to make the emperor smile!
After ascending the throne that day, the Ice Emperor returned to his territory to begin seclusion in preparation for the 400,000-year tribulation.
It's unclear whether he's given his soul skills any thought.
"Alright, Ice Phoenix and Atai."
"You two will temporarily handle the affairs of the Far North."
"In case of any unforeseen circumstances, contact me through your spiritual imprint."
"Manage the Far North well while I'm away."
The Ice Phoenix King and the Titan Snow Demon King knelt on one knee and said in unison,
"We will not fail the Emperor's trust!"
Hearing that ridiculous title of "Emperor," Huo Yuhao felt a chill run down his spine, as if royal skin was crawling all over him.
"Change the title next time; this is unlucky."
"Yes!!"
After giving the specific instructions, Huo Yuhao, along with Su Tong beside him, activated their divine power. With the appearance of a spatial vortex, the two disappeared from the Far North.
This time, Huo Yuhao planned to take her directly to Xilu City.
At this moment, in Xilu City, a brother and sister were walking down the street.
Both had white hair; one had pure blue eyes, and the other had heterochromatic blue-green pupils. It was none other than
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, siblings.
They had been picked up from the Mingdou Mountains by members of the Passionate Alliance yesterday and brought all the way to Xilu City.
Now, the two were enjoying the exotic scenery on the streets of Xilu City. "Tch, doesn't seem like there are any strong people around here?"
"How about we go check out Shrek City this afternoon?"
Meng Hongchen looked helplessly at her brother.
"Xiao, this is just a small city."
"And remember what Passionate Alliance said? Going to Shrek City is fine, but don't reveal your identity as a member of the Sun Moon Empire."
"Otherwise, you'll be caught and thoroughly investigated by the elders of the Sea God Pavilion."
"Especially since our identities are particularly sensitive!"
Xiao Hongchen waved his hand, closed his eyes, and said,
"I know, I know."
Then, he accidentally bumped into a red-haired little girl.
"Ah."
A small tuft of red hair tied on the left side of the girl's head swayed slightly.
Taking a few steps back, hands on hips, and looking at Xiao Hongchen with slightly displeased blue eyes, she said,
"You can't walk with your eyes closed!"
Xiao Hongchen waved his hand casually and said,
"Where did this kid come from?"
"Go play somewhere else."
Meng Hongchen, standing nearby, was already clenching her fists; she couldn't help but want to beat up her brother!
"Xiao! Hong..."
Before she could finish speaking, a boy with golden-red hair and eyes that seemed to hide a lion came up to Tibao's side, looking at Xiao Hongchen with hostility.
"Apologize!"
Medmos crossed his arms and looked at Xiao Hongchen. He had just been delivering clothes to a clothing store when he saw Tibao in trouble and rushed over immediately.
Medmos was like that; although he seemed difficult to get along with, he was willing to give everything for his companions!
The two were now about the same height. Xiao Hongchen stared at Medmos with his heterochromatic eyes, his gaze filled with arrogance, and said,
"Apologize? Fine."
"Let's see if you have the strengthen
Medemos understood his meaning, his golden eyes meeting his as he said,
"Oh?"
"To the Soul Arena?"
Tibo, a little anxious, tugged at Medemos's sleeve, saying,
"Little enemy, don't be like this, I'm fine."
Medemos turned around directly, gesturing to Xiao Hongchen to follow.
Tibo had no choice but to follow behind Medemos.
Xiao Hongchen's lips curled slightly, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
He sensed the opponent's strong power; he was sure to be a worthy opponent.
"Interesting." During the time Huo Yuhao was away from Xilu City, Roman, that guy , had dragged
Medemos and Bai E to the Heavenly Calamity Mountain System to train in order to help them improve their cultivation quickly! It was even more outrageous than Huo Yuhao's jeep.
After each training session, Roman would prepare a medicinal bath, using almost all the rarest herbs below the level of immortal herbs!
Then he would give them Xuan Shui Pills, Soul Ascension Pills, and various other pills with no side effects.
Bai E's cultivation has now reached level 25, Maidemus level 22, Feng Jin level 22, and Tibao level 21.
Their leveling speed is astonishing, but from now on, they'll have to rely on their own cultivation.
Pills and medicinal baths have reached their limit and have no effect on them anymore.
Bai E and Maidemus will soon experience the incredible cultivation speed of their ultimate martial souls!
Bai E is doing well; the God of Destruction gives him extra training in his dreams every night.
Even the Goddess of Life secretly comes to help.
Anyone who didn't know better would think Bai E was their child.
As for Maidemus, Huo Yuhao can only find some medicinal herbs to increase his cultivation speed in the Thunderous Hell Vine Canyon and teach him the mental cultivation method, letting him develop on his own.
Tibao follows beside Meng Hongchen, while Maidemus and Xiao Hongchen walk ahead, their auras growing increasingly intense.
Meng Hongchen, however, is very interested in the anxious Tibao beside him.
"What an adorable little girl!"
"I want to hug her!"
Tibo, unaware of the white-haired sister's dangerous intentions, was using her martial soul to send a message to Bai'e and Feng Jin.
"Little Bai and little Feng Jin! Little Di is about to fight someone!"
"Come quick!"
After finishing the Far North storyline in one go, this is the protagonist's main base in the Soul Beast faction. The protagonist is practically a half-Beast King. As a Beast King, it's reasonable for him to create Godzilla, enter the ocean, and seize the seas, and for the Eight Dragon Kings to establish a new dragon race, right? (laughs) Just kidding. There was also a lottery draw that didn't work, related to Soul Beasts.
Next, Bai'e and the others will enter Shrek Academy.
