A good soul ring can bring more powerful skills to a soul master. The strength of a soul ring is determined by the cultivation years of the soul beast.
Among them, the white soul ring represents a soul beast that has lived for ten years. All soul beasts that have cultivated for ten to one hundred years will produce a white soul ring when killed. Undoubtedly, the baboon that Huo Yuhao killed by luck was a ten-year soul beast, and the ten-year soul ring clearly appeared before Huo Yuhao. Unfortunately, this was not a soul ring he could absorb.
Although Huo Yuhao had no experience in hunting soul beasts and could not determine the attributes of the baboon, he was certain that it was not a mental attribute soul beast. Its soul ring was even less suitable for him.
Huo Yuhao wanted to check on the baboon's condition, but as soon as he tried to stand up, his body felt weak and sore. The extreme tension left him with no strength, and the pain in his shoulder made him groan, almost fainting.
After all, he was only eleven years old! After experiencing such a major change, his determination wavered slightly. Mental attribute soul beasts were extremely rare, and this was the first soul beast he encountered, just a ten-year soul beast, which almost killed him. What if he encountered a hundred-year soul beast? He would have no chance of survival, and luck could not always be on his side. The miraculous power of the White Tiger Dagger could not make up for his weakness.
What should I do? Huo Yuhao struggled to sit up, leaning against the tree he had collided with, breathing heavily.
I can't die; I will succeed. I still need to avenge my mother; I can't give up. Huo Yuhao clenched his teeth, constantly reinforcing his resolve in his heart. However, the scenes of his brief struggle with the baboon kept reminding him of his overestimation of his abilities.
Just as Huo Yuhao was filled with confusion and helplessness, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind without any warning.
"Finally, I've met a human with a mental attribute. If I could cry, I would be in tears!"
Huo Yuhao was startled, completely puzzled as to why a voice would suddenly appear in his mind. At that moment, the ground beneath him began to tremble unexpectedly. Two meters in front of him, cracks began to appear on the ground, gradually widening into fissures. Faint golden-white light could be seen shining from the fissures.
What is this? Another soul beast?
Huo Yuhao instinctively gripped the White Tiger Dagger, watching the expanding fissures with tension. If his body were not so weak, he might have already run away.
A cold chill began to emanate from the fissures, and the temperature around him started to drop noticeably. The area of the fissures grew larger, eventually reaching a diameter of over five meters. The golden-white light finally revealed its true form.
It was a round, fleshy head, about one meter in diameter, which slowly crawled out, its body stretching over seven meters long.
As it appeared, Huo Yuhao's breath began to form ice fog, and the cold chill made him shiver uncontrollably.
This was definitely a soul beast, and it looked like a silkworm. However, it was much larger than an ordinary silkworm.
Its body was a translucent white jade color, crystal clear, and despite emerging from the soil, its smooth skin was free of any dirt. A faint glow flowed beneath its skin, and on its head were two sparkling golden eyes. Most uniquely, from half a meter above its head, there were golden rings spaced at intervals, totaling ten rings from head to tail.
Seeing its massive body, Huo Yuhao's face turned pale with despair. Such a large body and the ability to change the temperature must mean it was at least a hundred-year soul beast. It's over; everything is over.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you." The voice from earlier sounded in Huo Yuhao's mind again, and the giant silkworm nodded at him, its large head lowering to stop about one meter away from Huo Yuhao. A faint fragrance emanated from its body.
Huo Yuhao was surprised and asked, "Are you talking to me?"
The giant silkworm nodded again, and the voice sounded in his mind, "Of course, it's me. Are you captivated by my beautiful form?"
Feeling no malice from the giant silkworm, Huo Yuhao's tense nerves relaxed slightly.
"What do you want?"
The silkworm said, "Let me introduce myself. I am the embodiment of heroism and chivalry, the soul beast king of wisdom and beauty, the supreme being who has cultivated for a million years, setting the record for the longest lifespan on the Douluo Continent. You can call me Tianmeng!"
Huo Yuhao's eyes instantly widened, "A million-year soul beast?" This was ten thousand times more powerful than his initial judgment. Moreover, did such a being even exist in the world? The most powerful soul beast on the Douluo Continent should be a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said proudly, "Surprised? Excited? You are the first human to see my true form."
Huo Yuhao said dazedly, "What do you want?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice suddenly became serious, "I want to become your soul ring, the first intelligent soul ring in the history of the Douluo Continent."
"Ah?" Huo Yuhao stared at the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in front of him, completely losing his ability to think.
Everything happened too suddenly. He certainly desired a soul ring, but he had always hoped for just a ten-year soul ring, never dreaming of anything more. Now, a giant, talking silkworm emerged from the ground, claiming to be a great million-year soul beast and willing to become his soul ring. Huo Yuhao was completely baffled and unsure if what Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said was true.
However, whether true or false, the giant silkworm was not something he could resist.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's large head looked cautiously in the direction of the Star Dou Forest, then turned back to Huo Yuhao and said, "I'm about to start. Don't worry, I'll be gentle and won't hurt you too much."
"You..." Before Huo Yuhao could voice his opposition, an extremely cold aura instantly made him lose consciousness. He only vaguely saw a white mass rushing towards him, and the next moment, all his ability to think was gone.
The ten golden rings on Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's body pulsed like they were alive. The white mass Huo Yuhao saw was actually Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's head pressing against his forehead.
The ten golden rings quickly enveloped Huo Yuhao's small body, and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm itself transformed into a stream of white light, continuously flowing into his body.
