Chapter 22 The Snow Emperor's Words and Dai Youheng's Reply
The first person to appear for the assessment today was none other than Huo Yuhao.
A faint smile appeared on Dai Youheng's lips. Of course, he knew what the "inevitable method" Huo Yuhao had learned from Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was: using the terrifying aura of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's extreme ice to indiscriminately suppress the bloodlines of soul beasts, paralyzing all the soul beasts in the beast cage in one fell swoop.
As a result, all the spirit beasts in the arena will temporarily lose their fighting ability, and the subsequent trainees will be unable to complete the assessment.
Without any results, Dai Huabin was defeated without even fighting. This tactic was like cutting off the enemy's supply lines—simple, brutal, yet extremely effective.
When Gong Changlong asked Huo Yuhao what age of soul beast he planned to challenge, Huo Yuhao directly chose the lowest level, a hundred years.
The spirit beasts in this assessment range in age from one hundred to one thousand years. The older the spirit beast you choose to challenge, the higher your base score will be upon success.
This immediately drew undisguised sneer from Dai Huabin. "Challenge a century? Huo Yuhao, is that all you've got? Looks like you know you're doomed to lose, so you've just given up?"
Huo Yuhao ignored him and simply focused his mind.
When the century-old wind wolf was released from its cage and roared as it pounced, Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly lit up. An indescribable chill and terrifying pressure, originating from the pinnacle of life, suddenly erupted from him like a storm!
"Woo-hoo—!" The century-old wind wolf was the first to be hit, letting out a mournful howl. Its limbs went limp, and it foamed at the mouth and fainted.
But this is just the beginning.
That cold and domineering aura of ferocity swept through all the cages in the entire fighting arena like a tidal wave!
In an instant, the entire fighting arena fell into a deathly silence, which was then replaced by the terrified and desperate howls, wails, and trembling of various soul beasts crawling on the ground!
Whether they were hundred-year-old or thousand-year-old soul beasts, they were all limp on the ground, defecating and urinating, their eyes filled with the most primal fear, as if they had encountered the most terrifying natural enemy in their bloodline memories!
"What?"
"What happened?"
"All the soul beasts...all..."
In the stands, Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo suddenly stood up, their faces filled with shock and confusion. Gong Changlong's expression changed drastically. As a Beast King, his understanding of soul beasts far surpassed that of ordinary people. He could clearly feel the supreme ice-attribute pressure that commanded all beasts to submit!
However, the one who reacted the most was not these three titled Douluo, but the Snow Empress in Dai Youheng's spiritual sea!
"This aura? It's Bing'er! Bing'er's aura!" The Snow Emperor's illusory soul fluctuated violently, her voice filled with disbelief, shock, and excitement. "Bing'er... how could she be inside this human boy's body? And this feels like the aura of his very soul! Could it be...?"
Dai Youheng calmly replied in her heart, "That's right, Sister Xue Di. The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion is currently inside Huo Yuhao's body, in a similar situation to you and me. However, it's not just the Ice Emperor; there's another one there as well, namely the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm."
He briefly told Xue Di about Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's "God-Making Plan".
In order to break free from the limitations of lifespan, the million-year-old soul beast, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, chose to become Huo Yuhao's intelligent soul ring, devoting all its resources to nurturing Huo Yuhao to become a god, hoping to become a companion divine beast and gain immortality.
Ice Emperor, knowing he would have difficulty surviving the 400,000-year tribulation, also chose to join the plan under the persuasion of Tianmeng and the allure of the prospect of "creating a god," becoming Huo Yuhao's second martial soul.
"I see." After listening, Xue Di remained silent for a long time, her voice filled with complex emotions, a mixture of realization and感慨. She never expected that her best friend of many years and her neighbor in the far north would also embark on a path similar to hers, yet completely different.
A moment later, the Snow Empress's voice rang out again, tinged with seriousness, "Youheng, you also aspire to become a god in the future, don't you?"
Becoming a god is the ultimate dream of almost all top-tier soul masters and soul beasts.
"Of course!" Dai Youheng answered without hesitation.
"So, you and Huo Yuhao will ultimately be competitors on the path to godhood." Xue Di's tone turned somewhat heavy. "Will you... take action against him in the future?"
Dai Youheng paused for a moment, then gave a cold and realistic answer: "I don't know."
He could sense Xue Di's worry and continued, "Sister Xue Di, I understand what you mean. You and Bing Di have been close friends for many years. You're worried that if I kill Huo Yuhao to clear obstacles, it will cause Bing Di to perish as well, right?"
"..." Xue Di did not deny it, but fell silent, which was a silent affirmation.
"But I can't promise you anything." Dai Youheng's voice was calm yet firm. "For your sake, I can promise that if there's no grudge, he can go his own way, and I'll go mine. I won't bother with him. But—"
His tone suddenly turned cold, carrying an undeniable resolve: "If one day, Huo Yuhao's existence, his growth, his choices, or the will of those beings behind him pose a threat to me, then I will kill him without hesitation."
"Nothing in this world is more important than my own survival and becoming stronger. I hope you can understand."
Within the sea of spirit, the illusory image of the Snow Empress's soul trembled slightly, ultimately transforming into a soft sigh. She gazed at Dai Youheng's cold yet resolute core of will, knowing that this was his true nature.
"I understand." Xue Di's voice returned to its cool tone. "I'm already very grateful that you've made this concession for my sake. That... will do."
She paused, her tone taking on a coldness befitting the ruler of the far north, "If in the future, Huo Yuhao or the one behind him truly doesn't know what's good for him and insists on being your enemy, then you can only blame Bing'er for choosing the wrong person."
As expected of the queen of the far north, the Snow Empress, though a woman, is by no means a soft-hearted woman.
It's true that Bingdi and Huo Yuhao are now bound by fate, but aren't she and Dai Youheng also in the same boat? If something happens to Dai Youheng, she won't fare any better.
Therefore, she was actually very grateful that Dai Youheng had the idea that his own life was more important than anything else.
Dai Youheng cherished his own life, which in turn meant he cherished her life.
The extreme ice storm unleashed by Huo Yuhao at Ice Emperor had disastrous consequences. Throughout the entire Beast Fighting Area, all soul beasts, regardless of age, lay paralyzed on the ground, their spirits broken, unable to recover their fighting ability in the short term. Clearly, today's assessment could no longer continue.
After a brief moment of shock, Dean Yan Shaozhe of the Martial Soul Department had no choice but to announce that today's assessment would be suspended and postponed for several days, with the specific time to be announced later once the soul beasts had recovered.
