Douluo Dalu 2: Unrivaled Tang Sect

Chapter 2.2. Skydream Iceworm

The strength of a soul ring was based off of how many years the soul beast had cultivated for; the better a soul ring was, the stronger the skill it would grant to a soul master.

White soul rings were those formed by a ten year soul beast. All soul beasts that had cultivated between ten and a hundred years would produce a white coloured soul ring when they were killed. The baboon that Huo Yuhao had luckily managed to kill was undoubtedly a ten year soul beast, and a ten year soul ring had also clearly appeared in front of Huo Yuhao. Unfortunately, the soul ring wasnt one he could absorb.

Although Huo Yuhao didnt have any experience at killing soul beasts, and couldnt see what type of existence the baboon was, he was certain that the baboon wasnt a spiritual-type soul beast. Therefore, its soul ring was thus even more unsuited for him.

He wanted to check the baboons condition, but a wave of both pain and soreness flooded his body when he was about to stand up. His excessive nervousness from earlier caused him to be unable to use any strength at all now. Combined with the pain from his shoulders, the exertion of force caused him to let out a muffled groan, and almost caused him to faint.

He was only eleven after all! The determination in his heart had even wavered slightly, after the battle that hed just experienced. The amount of spiritual-type soul beasts that existed was extremely little, yet hed almost been killed by the first soul beast hed encountered. Furthermore, this had only been a ten year soul beast. What if hed encountered a hundred year soul beast? He wouldve had absolutely no chance of even narrowly escaping, simply because it was impossible for luck to be with him at all times. The miraculous power that had momentarily been released from the White Tiger Dagger obviously couldnt make up for his weak strength.

What should I do? Huo Yuhao struggled to barely sit up. He leaned against the tree that hed previously flown into, and gasped for breath.

I cant die, Ill definitely succeed. I still have to seek justice for my mother, I cant give up like this! Huo Yuhao tightly clenched his teeth, and unceasingly hardened his conviction. However, the scenes from his previous battle with the baboon continuously let him know that he had been overestimating his capabilities.

Huo Yuhaos mind was filled with an empty feeling, and he didnt know what to do. Suddenly, a voice echoed out inside of his mind, without any prior warning.

Finally, Ive met a spiritual-type human! What a pity that this brother cant cry! If I could, my face would definitely be covered with tears!

Huo Yuhao was startled. He didnt understand why a voice had suddenly appeared inside of his mind. However, at this moment, the ground beneath him suddenly trembled without any prior warning. Cracks began to appear on the ground two metres in front of him, and then gradually expanded until they turned into a crevice; a dim golden-white light faintly shone from within the crevice.

This, what is this? Another soul beast?

Huo Yuhao subconsciously gripped the White Tiger Dagger tightly, and nervously gazed at the crevice that was gradually expanding. If it wasnt for his aching body, he mightve already run away.

An icy chill was released from the crevice, which caused the surrounding temperature to drop. The area of the crevice gradually increased, and after a moment, its diameter had reached five metres wide, causing the true appearance of the golden-white light to finally be revealed.

It was a plump and fat-looking head with a diameter of over one metre. After it slowly wiggled its body and managed to climb up, its entire body was revealed. Its body was over seven metres long.

Following its appearance, the surrounding temperature became so cold that Huo Yuhao was able to see his own breath, and it caused him to be unable to help but shiver a few times.

This was definitely a soul beast, yet it unexpectedly resembled a silkworm. However, it was god-knows how many times larger than a normal silkworm.

Its body was the same colour as white jade, sparkled, and was translucent. Although it had dug itself out from the earth, there wasnt any dirt on its brilliant skin at all. Halos of light moved about underneath its epidermis, and it unexpectedly had a small pair of eyes on its head that flickered with a golden light. Strangest of all, golden patterns were engraved on its body at certain intervals, starting half a metre from its head. From head to tail, it had a total of ten golden patterns.

A look of despair appeared on Huo Yuhaos already nervous face as he gazed at its enormous body. It has such an enormous body, and it has the power to change the temperature its at least a hundred year soul beast. Its over, everythings over.

Dont be scared, dont be scared. This brother wont harm you! The voice from before echoed out in Huo Yuhaos mind once again, and the enormous silkworm nodded its head. Its huge head then drooped downwards, before stopping a metre away from Huo Yuhao. It even emitted a faintly fragrant odor from its body.

Huo Yuhao said in a startled tone, Are you the one thats talking to me?

The enormous silkworm nodded its head in response, and its voice continued to echo out inside of his mind, Its obviously this brother thats speaking. Did you get captivated by my beautiful body?

After realizing that the enormous silkworm didnt have any evil intentions, Huo Yuhaos taut heartstrings relaxed a bit.

What do you want to do?

The silkworm replied, First off, let me introduce myself. I am the embodiment of heroism and chivalry! A king of kings amongst soul beasts, who is both equally smart and good-looking! Im an absolute expert, one who has cultivated for a million years! Im the Skydream Iceworm whos set the record for the longest lifespan in the Douluo Continent! Yup, you can call me Brother Skydream!

Huo Yuhaos eyes instantly turned lifeless, Mil-Million year soul beast? The Skydream Iceworms age differed from his prediction by a factor of ten thousand times. Furthermore, were there really such existences as million year soul beasts in the world? The strongest soul beast on the Douluo Continent should only be a hundred thousand years old!

The Skydream Iceworm, who was clearly pleased with himself, said, Arent you in awe? Arent you really excited? Youre the first human whos seen my almighty figure.

Huo Yuhao blankly said, Then what do you want to do?

The Skydream Iceworms voice suddenly became serious, This brother wants to become your soul ringthe Douluo Continents first ever intelligent soul ring.

Ah? Huo Yuhao looked at the Skydream Iceworm in front of him with a dumbstruck expression. Hed momentarily lost his ability to think.

Everything that had occurred so far had simply been too sudden. Admittedly, he did thirst for a soul ring. However, in the past, the soul ring that hed wanted to obtain was simply a ten year soul ring. Hed never had any extravagant hopes. Yet, at this moment, a massive silkworm that could talk had suddenly dug itself out from beneath the ground, had told him that it was an almighty million year soul beast, and that it wanted to become his soul ring. This made Huo Yuhao completely unable to understand what was going on at all. Furthermore, he didnt know whether the Skydream Iceworm was telling the truth or not.

However, the enormous silkworm in front of him wasnt something that he could hope to fight, regardless of whether it was telling the truth or not.

The Skydream Iceworms enormous head turned in the direction of the Great Star Dou Forest, and carefully scanned it. Then, it turned back towards Huo Yuhao and said, Im going to start, okay? Dont worry, Ill be gentle. I wont cause too much pain.

You Before Huo Yuhao could even voice any sort of opposition, an extremely cold aura caused him to immediately lose consciousness. He could only faintly see a white object charging towards him. In the next moment, all of his thoughts faded away.

The ten golden patterns on the Skydream Iceworms body moved rhythmically, almost as if they were alive. The white object that Huo Yuhao had seen was actually the Skydream Iceworms head, which had reached forward to press against his head.

The ten golden patterns rapidly enveloped Huo Yuhaos skinny body, and the Skydream Iceworm slowly turned itself halos of white light that unceasingly surged into his body.
