Douluo Dalu 2: Unrivaled Tang Sect

Chapter 45.3. You're Still Alive?

You what can I even say about you!? Fan Yu sighed. Bending down, he placed his hands under Huo Yuhaos armpits and propped him up. This child was simply too thoughtful.

The anger that was originally between Zhou Yis brows had eased by a large amount. Only, Wang Dongs anger didnt decrease in the slightest. He inwardly thought to himself, This bastard. He lied, and hes lying again.

Huo Yuhaos lies could get past Zhou Yi and Fan Yu, but they couldnt trick Wang Dong. They had a perfect martial soul fusion, and they had cultivated together just before Huo Yuhao had left the academy. If anything had happened to his martial soul, Wang Dong wouldve sensed it immediately. However, he hadnt felt anything!

At this moment however, Wang Dong couldnt expose Huo Yuhaos lies. He could only bury his doubts in the bottom of his heart.

Zhou Yi said, Then how are you feeling now? Did the signs of your martial soul shattering disappear?

Huo Yuhao nodded.

Zhou Yi furrowed her brows tightly, Thats also a problem. Not only did you arrive late, you didnt even obtain a second soul ring. Im afraid that the academy will

Huo Yuhao blinked, Teacher Zhou, Ive gotten my second martial soul!

Huh? Zhou Yi looked towards him, astonished. Fan Yu interjected, Let Yuhao finish what he has to say.

Huo Yuhao said, When I left the academy, I felt that I didnt really have much hope anymore. In addition to that, there seemed to be an unseen force that was guiding me towards the north. The absent-mindedness from my martial soul was getting increasingly stronger, and I could sense that my Spirit Eyes were releasing traces of ice. It seemed to be guiding me towards the north. Under an absent-minded state like this, I didnt even know long Id walked for, but I unexpectedly arrived at a world of ice and snow. That place was very, very cold, and I felt that I was going to be frozen alive. However, the sensation of shattering coming from my martial soul was becoming increasingly intense, as though it could shatter at any time. I didnt really know what was going on, but I fainted in that icy land. Just before I fainted, I felt that I wasnt going to be able to wake up again. I didnt know how long I fainted for, but it was because of this that I came back late.

Fan Yu and Zhou Yi glanced at each other. Though the area Shrek Academy was in was getting chilly, it was still late spring. If he spoke about a world of ice and snow, wasnt that the desolate and uninhabited Extreme North? Unexpectedly, Huo Yuhao hadnt gone to the Great Star Dou Forest; hed gone to a place that was that far away. Furthermore, it was even under a situation in which his martial soul that had signs of shattering was guiding him. This was simply too fantastical.

Huo Yuhao continued, By the time I woke up, it was still daytime. I didnt know how much time had passed, but my body was already buried in the snow. When I opened my eyes, my vision was filled with a dark white object. I thought that I was already dead, but I realized that something wasnt right after a moment. The condition of my body was still very normal, and I could even sense the flow of my soul power. Furthermore, my Spirit Eyes had completely stabilised; they no longer had any problems.

I climbed out from the snow, astonished. Only then did I realise that I was still in my original location. More astonishingly, an extra burst of power seemed to be within my body. I found a dead scorpion that was longer than a meter near my body. Its entire body was pure white, while its tail was jade-green. There were many crystalline objects on the surface of its shell, and though it was already dead, I could still sense how powerful it was.

An Ice Jade Scorpion? Zhou Yi took a deep breath, while Fan Yus eyes were filled with astonishment.

Wang Dong couldnt help but ask, Teacher Zhou, whats an Ice Jade Scorpion?

Zhou Yi said, Its an extremely strong soul beast that lives in the Extreme North. They have an enormous population, and theyre the true rulers of that bitterly cold land. They possess an ultimate ice attribute, and normally speaking, they only live within the core regions of the Extreme North. Even to us soul masters, that area is a forbidden place. It is a truly forbidden area to humans. Even Titled Douluo-ranked experts wouldnt dare to easily tread within that extremely cold place. Yuhao, you were actually able to survive after encountering an Ice Jade Scorpion.

Originally, Zhou Yi and Fan Yu still had some doubts towards Huo Yuhaos words. However, their suspicions immediately dropped by a large amount after Huo Yuhao described the appearance of the Ice Jade Scorpion. Though there were a large number of soul beasts within the Extreme North, human soul masters would rarely have the chance to encounter them. Furthermore, the outer courtyard had never taught them anything about the Ice Jade Scorpion from Year 1 to Year 6. If he hadnt truly seen an Ice Jade Scorpion, how would Huo Yuhao be able to describe a soul beast like it?

Huo Yuhao said, I dont know how it did, but because I discovered some energy within its body, I tried to use my soul power to urge it on. In the end

With that, Huo Yuhao slowly raised his hands. A trace of white light flashed through his originally deep-blue eyes, and the temperature in Zhou Yis office dropped right after that.

The strong chilliness caused even Wang Dong to involuntarily shiver instinctively. Fan Yu and Zhou Yi clearly saw a translucent and sparkling luster on Huo Yuhaos hands, as if he was wearing a set of diamond gloves that had a moving radiance to them. The temperature within the office dropped suddenly.

Fan Yu could no longer sit; he suddenly stood up. As he looked at Huo Yuhao, he unconsciously widened his eyes. Right after that, the two of them saw a purple soul ring slowly rise from Huo Yuhaos feet. It was a halo that flickered with a noble purple, and it slowly undulated rhythmically around Huo Yuhaos body.

A thousand year soul ring! Wang Dong cried out immediately.

Purple, didnt that represent a thousand year soul ring? However, how was that possible? Just what situation was this!?

Huo Yuhao quickly took off his jacket and removed his shirt, revealing his naked upper body.

Ah Because Wang Dong was standing right behind him, he was able to instantly see the sparkling tattoo of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion. The vivid and lifelike portrayal of the enormous scorpion gave him a jump.

Huo Yuhao slowly turned around, showing his back to Fan Yu and Zhou Yi.

During the journey back, when he and the Skydream Iceworm had gotten to this point, Huo Yuhao had asked him whether the teachers would notice that the Ice Empress tattoo was different when compared to ordinary Ice Jade Scorpions.

The Skydream Iceworm then replied using the simplest words it could, Other than you, every human who has seen the Ice Empress has died!

The Ice Jade Scorpion, its really the Ice Jade Scorpion! Yuhao, you, you, this this is impossible! Zhou Yis eyes were filled with a look of inconceivability, as was Fan Yu. The husband-and-wife duo looked at Huo Yuhao as if they were looking at a monster.

After putting his clothes back on, Huo Yuhao withdrew his martial soul and stood there obediently, Teacher, Teacher Zhou, I dont understand what happened either. Can the two of you explain this doubt of mine? In any case, Im no longer afraid of the cold after I obtained this power. It seems as though Ive already become a part of that world of ice and snow.

Suddenly, Zhou Yis eyes lit up. She looked towards Fan Yu, Do you think its related to his Body Soul? Yuhaos Spirit Eyes should be a Body Soul. Ive heard Teacher Wang Yan say that powerful Body Soul soul masters will have a second awakening of their martial soul. If thats truly the case, although the situation hes in right now seems extraordinary, it isnt fully unexplainable. Why dont I go find Wang Yan now and ask him about it?

Zhou Yi was always the type of person who would act immediately. Just as she said that she was about to leave, Fan Yu grabbed her by the arm, No, you cant go. Quiet down a little. If you let Wang Yan know about this, do you think the Martial Soul Department will let Yuhao go?

Zhou Yi was stunned. As she looked towards the determined gaze in Fan Yus eyes, she immediately understood what he meant. She remained silent after that.

Fan Yu sat back down, then looked towards Huo Yuhao, Yuhao, this situation thats occurred to you is an extremely rare occurrence among us soul masters. This is the first time weve encountered a situation like this. Therefore, were unable to give you a full explanation. However, according to our estimations, it should be something related to your martial soul. Body Souls have always been an extremely mysterious existence. Theres a mysterious sect within the continent called the Body Sect, and theyve always been doing their best to collect and cultivate soul masters who possess Body Souls. Perhaps theyre the only people who could understand whats happened to your body. Teacher can tell you that this isnt a bad thing. From what youve shown us, you should have a second martial soul now. Moreover, this martial soul has a thousand year soul ring. It couldve been given to you by the dead Ice Jade Scorpion you found beside you. As for why you were able to obtain an Ice Jade Scorpion as your second martial soul, we cant explain this. However, this is absolutely a good thing for you. The Ice Jade Scorpion ranks among the apex of assault-type martial souls belonging to the ice attribute, and itll have extremely large benefits towards your future cultivation. Do you understand what Im saying?

Huo Yuhao nodded, Teacher, then what should I do now?

Fan Yu said, Let me settle the issue of you being late. Ill formally announce the fact that youre a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department. In addition to that, Ill give a report to the academy that the reason why you were late was because you were helping me complete a task I assigned to you. However, if we do it like this, you wont be able to become a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department in the future. Teacher isnt willing to force you, so youll have to make a choice by yourself. However, I can guarantee you that the moment the Martial Soul Department discovers that youre a twin-souled soul master who has a thousand year soul ring as your second martial souls first soul ring, they wont expel you. Because of this, you have to decide by yourself whether you want to study alongside me or remain in the Martial Soul Department as a core disciple.

As for your future cultivation, I personally believe that you should focus on your Spirit Eyes regardless of whether you stay in the Martial Soul Department or fully transfer to the Soul Tool Department. The greatest advantage of twin martial souls lies in the fact that you can add soul rings to your second martial soul once your cultivations strong enough. At that time, the advantage of a twin-souled soul master can be fully displayed. However, youve already walked the path of your Spirit Eyes, so itd be better for you to not easily change your style of fighting. Earlier, you said that youd obtained a second soul skill for your Spirit Eyes. Since thats the case, you should continue to cultivate your Spirit Eyes, and not this new martial soul youve just obtained. Its strange how you obtained this new martial soul, so we should observe it for a bit more before doing anything. Let us see your second soul ring first.
