WHAT IF ..... Soul Land 2

Chapter 3.2: The Million Year Soul Ring (minor change)

*Author Notes: about concept of second martial soul was repaired because before too ambiguous.

"Aih——" The Skydream Iceworm sighed. "Unfortunately, Brother still suffered a tragedy. Breaking through to a million year soul beast was actually a double edged sword. Although I managed to barely break free from their control, my lifespan suddenly reached its end due to the Heavenly Tribulation that abruptly arrived. If I wasn't able to preserve my life with other methods, I would've died soon from exhaustion; it was also at this moment when Brother met you, a young fellow. Although you were pitifully weak, Brother had no other choice! Yet, you also had a mental-type attribute. Hence, Brother could only work hard to merge with your body. No matter which way you look at it, those bastards can't obtain this Brother's most precious thing."

Huo Yuhao had already forgotten his fear from earlier as he listened to the Skydream Iceworm's story. He felt righteously indignant as he said, "They're too despicable. How could they be like this? They actually trapped you for almost ten thousand years!"

The Skydream Iceworm felt that his anger gave them common ground as he said, "Exactly! Although Brother is quite cute, quite handsome, and quite strong, they simply can't treat Brother as food! Things are good now though. On the whole, I've managed to escape and not allow them to obtain Brother's body. Huo Yuhao, although you're young and your abilities are still lacking, it's fortunate that you're still pure. Brother will treat this as a plan to raise you up. When you're strong in the future, you must help Brother get revenge! Didn't they rely on my Earth origin soulforce to evolve? In the future, turn them into your soul rings and soul bones! Humph!"

Huo Yuhao had no hesitation at all as he answered, "I'll definitely help you get revenge after I grow up." This relationship between man and beast had rapidly deepened due to this slightly odd yet miraculous story.

In reality, although the Skydream Iceworm had cultivation a million years, it had only met with a few soul beasts after all. Even though its intelligence wasn't inferior to that of a human's, how could it know that humans had sinister hearts? If a human had encountered fortunate events like the Skydream Iceworm had, he would absolutely not reveal his story so easily. Choosing a kid like Huo Yuhao, who was practically as white as a sheet of paper, was actually quite lucky for it.

"Brother Skydream, I still don't understand a few things. Since you're so strong, you had to seal your own power to become my soul ring. Just what's the matter with this? Can you still bestow a soul skill to me?" After losing his fear, an even greater sense of curiosity filled Huo Yuhao's heart.

The Skydream Iceworm laughed cunningly as he said, "Brother naturally has a way. Since I've been planning this for so long, I've already prepared the proper arrangements. After obtaining some experience from blowing those humans up, I realised that all of my help will have to focus on your safety. I already have no way of retreat now; if you die, I die too. My original soulforce was too much drained by those soul beasts from the Great Star Dou Forest. Otherwise, your body wouldn't have been able to withstand my power, even if I'd sealed it. When I merged with your body, most of the energy that entered you was my ice origin energy and my mental energy. Can you see those ten balls of light? They're the ten seals that I've set up. If you look at it from another angle, it can be said that I've already bestowed you the power of your first soul ring. However, you're temporarily unable to use it."

"This also means that, although your first soul ring is a million year soul ring, it currently doesn't have the might of a million year soul ring. However, the energy that I've sealed within your body will gradually disperse as your cultivation improves, which in turn will increase the might of your soul ring. It might even increase the might of your future soul rings. After all, the energy that I've accumulated over a million years is simply too enormous for you."
