First Volume: Heaven's Dream, Ice Silkworm Chapter 39: The Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North (Middle)

  "Tianmeng Bingxiao said, 'It's not that only I have spirit attribute soul beasts. The Star Dou Great Forest also has them. But the problem is, what you want to obtain isn't just a simple soul ring. Most importantly, it's about awakening your second martial soul. And this second martial soul must land in the Extreme North. I've already planned everything out for you. If you have time to chat, then hurry up and speed up a bit, and you'll arrive there sooner. If everything goes smoothly, returning to Shrek Academy within a month is no problem at all.'"

  Huo Yuhao, who had thought he had plenty of time to get the Soul Ring, suddenly felt a sense of urgency and didn't dare to delay, hastening his pace as he adjusted his breathing and strode forward in large steps, dashing towards the north.

  He had already packed two days' worth of food in the cafeteria yesterday, so he didn't need to worry about eating for at least the first two days. Moreover, Fan Yu gave him 100 gold souls, which added to his original savings, was enough for this trip.

  A year of hard training had cultivated Huo Yu Hao's unyielding and persevering personality. Being able to endure the loneliness of cultivation was not something that any ordinary Soul Master could do. Huo Yu Hao calmed his mind, cast aside all distractions, and focused solely on sprinting towards the north. Often, he would run for two or three hours at a time, only stopping to rest when his soul power had been depleted by about 70-80%. After recovering his soul power, he would immediately set off again.

  In this case, he will play his speed to the extreme. I'm afraid even the strong in the third or fourth ring may not be able to run as far as him in a day.

  In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. He could clearly feel the air getting colder and colder. The cold invasion forced him to slow down his pace, enter a city to buy thick clothes, and make some replenishments. Especially buying a map.

  He was currently within the territory of the Tianhun Empire, heading north all the way. As long as he reached the northern border of the Tianhun Empire, it would be considered that he had basically arrived at his destination. It's worth noting that Shrek Academy is located in the southeast of the Tianhun Empire, bordering the Xingluo Empire. Huo Yuhao's journey was equivalent to traversing the entire Tianhun Empire from south to north. The hardship can be imagined.

  However, Huo Yu Hao didn't feel any hardship at all, instead he took this way as a kind of training. Except for this time entering the city, before arriving in Beijiang, he had never entered a city again, and all were resting in the wild. In his supplies, there was a small tent that could be folded up, made of familiar cowhide. The tent was not big, only two meters long and one meter two wide. But it was more than enough to accommodate him alone. Plus a warm sleeping bag. Huo Yu Hao thought he rested very well. And his sleeping bag had always been wrapped around his body, then meditating. Without really needing to lie down to sleep.

  Huò Yǔhào grew up in the Duke's mansion since childhood. He had never experienced such a cold weather before. But after a year of hard training, he possessed an extremely strong physique and adapted to it after a few days. It was much better then. He didn't buy a fur coat, to save money, he only bought a cotton-padded jacket.

  When he was speeding ahead on the eighth day, he finally entered the northern border of the Tianhun Empire. After arriving here, the map in his hand had become a blank sheet.

  He halted his footsteps, and Huo Yu Hao slightly gasped for breath. White mist emerged from his mouth and nose, immediately turning into shattered ice fragments that scattered in the air.

  He pulled his cotton-padded jacket's hood over his head, blocking the biting wind, but the icy chill still managed to seep into his body like a small knife through the gaps.

  This is really a drop of water becoming ice! He Yu's eyebrows already had a layer of frost.

  Looking carefully at the map, Huo Yu Hao couldn't help but feel a bit depressed. The map had reached his current location. Further north was a vast expanse of emptiness. There was a line of small characters annotating it.

  "The far north, a forbidden zone for humans. Soul beasts roam about, danger, danger, danger!"

  The last three hazards are marked in red.

  "Tianmeng Ge, wake up, we might have arrived at our destination. From now on, we'll need you to guide us." Huo Yuhao was calling out to Tianmeng Ice Worm in his heart.

  "Pointing the way? Which way?" Tian Meng Bing Xuan's voice was faint and confused, she regained her composure. This hundred million year soul beast, the only one to have appeared on the Douluo Continent, seemed a bit dazed, "I don't recognize this place either!"

  "What?" Huo Yu Hao was shocked, "Tian Meng Ge, this can't be a joke! I followed your directions and ran north for eight whole days to get here. You don't recognize me either. What are we going to do now?"

  "I really don't know. I used to live in the northeast of the mainland, which is still very far from here. Later, I drifted south by sea and then entered the Star Dou Forest. This should be the central north of the mainland, originally the northwest of the Douluo continent, how could I know the way?"

  "What should we do? Tian Meng, you..."

  Tian Meng Bing Xuan hehe smiled and said, "Look at you, little kid, so anxious. Alright, I won't tease you anymore. You're right, I don't know the way, but you forgot, bro has strong spiritual power! I don't need to know the way, as long as I follow my spiritual power guidance, we'll find what we're looking for, right? Okay, take off your clothes first."

  "Huo Yu Hao was taken aback, 'Why take off your clothes? It's icy and snowy here, Tian Meng Ge, do you want to freeze me to death?!'"

  "Come on, hurry up! If you don't take off your clothes, you'll really freeze to death. This place is still called the icy sky and snowy earth? With such a high temperature, I would have been sweating in my previous life. It's still far, far away from the real cold. And our target is at the core of this extreme north. The low temperature there is unimaginable to you. Now hurry up and take off your clothes so I can help you deal with it, otherwise, if we continue north for another two days, you'll be done for."

  At this time, Huo Yu Hao had no other choice but to believe in Tian Meng Bing Xian. Helplessly, he first took off his thick cotton coat.

  The cold north wind almost instantly blew him a chill, the feeling was as if he had suddenly eaten ten ice pops. In the icy and snowy weather, even his whole body was emitting hot air.

  Huò Yǔhào clenched his teeth and quickly took off all the outerwear on his body, revealing a lean and muscular physique. The extreme cold made him jump up and down in the snow, unable to bear it. That feeling was absolutely "refreshing" and couldn't be any more refreshing.

  "Your underwear is off too! What's the point of keeping it on? If I don't take care of you, and your little brother freezes to death later, that's not my problem." Tian Meng Bing Xue chuckled mischievously.

  "Hurry up!" Huo Yu Hao said angrily. "If not, you'll freeze to death now." His voice was trembling with cold, and he didn't care about anything else, quickly pulling down his underwear.

  Under the cold north wind, he was frozen all over his body, just like a cooked shrimp.

  Tian Meng Bingcui suddenly fell silent. Huo Yu Hao called out to her repeatedly, but she didn't react at all.

  Just as Huo Yu Hao felt he was about to freeze to death and was preparing to pounce on the quilt, suddenly, he only felt that the surrounding scenery changed, a layer of faint golden light slowly surged out from his head. The golden light dispersed, driving away all the chill in the surroundings, and a warm feeling instantly spread throughout his body.

  "Ah——" Huo Yu Hao let out a happy moan, almost to the point of tears. This feeling was just too stimulating...

  Right after that, a soft white light suddenly flew out from his chest position. Huo Yu Hao was surprised to find that it seemed to be a piece of skin flying out from his own chest. The white light spread in the air and quickly became about the same size as Huo Yu Hao before slowly printing itself onto his body.

  The white light slowly adhered to Huo Yu's body, and Huo Yu felt as if a thin membrane had been added to his skin. The glow gradually disappeared, and the warmth also disappeared with it, but there was no coldness that followed. The cold wind outside blew against him, seemingly sliding over his body immediately, giving him a sense of being blown, but without any chill.

  "Tianmeng Ge, this..." Huo Yuhao's face was full of surprise, and the events unfolding before his eyes had undoubtedly exceeded his understanding.

  The lazy voice of Tian Meng Bing sounded, "This is the legacy left by my brother. It's also the original body you've seen before. Didn't it always stick to your chest? Now it's unfolded and wrapped around you. My brother grew up in this extremely cold place, would he still be afraid of the cold? This legacy not only has excellent breathability but is also water and fire resistant, with great air permeability. Moreover, it can hide your aura. Otherwise, with just your ability, rashly entering the North would be seeking death. Hurry up and put on the clothes, do you look good naked?"

  Huō Yǔhào was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself, "It's you who made me take it off!" But he had to admit that Tiān Mèng Bīngcán had thought things through. Hurriedly putting on his clothes, this time, he didn't feel the slightest bit of cold, and the layer of Tiān Mèng Bīngcán's legacy seemed like it didn't exist at all. This miraculous feeling couldn't help but increase Huō Yǔhào's confidence in venturing into the extreme north.

  At this time, Tian Meng Bing's voice suddenly became serious, "Yu Hao, from now on, you must listen to my command completely, not a single mistake can be made. Otherwise, not only will you have to stay in this northernmost land forever, but your brother will also be implicated by you."

  "Hmm." Huo Yu Hao nodded. He would certainly follow the guidance of Tian Meng Bing Xian, otherwise wouldn't he be completely in the dark?

  "Let's go, head north first and get into the core area of this extreme northern region. Is your food supply sufficient? We conservatively estimate that we will be in this extreme northern region for more than ten days. There is no shortage of water here, but there is no food to eat."

  Huō Yǔhào patted the Twenty-Four Bridges of the Moonlit Night on his waist and said, "No problem, I'm all set." As he spoke, he also equipped himself with the few soul-guiding instruments he had made. After the cold was completely gone, he was now in peak condition.
