"Yeah."
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly but then changed the subject.
"But I came back and I'm going to correct everything."
He had one more chance, and this time, everything would be different.
Huo Yuhao looked at him calmly, examining Yu Ming's hysterical expression. It was as if he was looking at an evil Spirit Master who thought he was superior to others because he had just discovered his own hidden power. No matter how bright and beautiful his appearance was, it was difficult to hide his inferior nature.
"You are different from Dai Huabin. After reading your memories, I still don't understand where your sense of superiority comes from when you try to judge me."
"Even if I hadn't been reborn, you wouldn't be able to follow my path. Your willpower is weak, and your fate would only be to die in the process of merging with the Ice Emperor, and even your soul would be devoured by the pain."
Having said this, Huo Yuhao slightly twitched the corners of his mouth, and then his smile faded.
"But thanks to you, I have found the first meaning of my rebirth—"
His expression was as cold as a rock. He looked down at Yu Ming and spoke word by word as if he was announcing his return.
"That's to get rid of you wanton bugs!"
With a flash of cold light, the White Tiger Dagger silently pierced into Yu Ming's left shoulder. Still, no blood seeped out, but it seemed as if a chain reaction had been triggered. Yu Ming's body and even his soul were disintegrating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Feeling the life force in his body gradually fading away, Yu Ming's eyes flashed with fear and he cried out in pain, but no matter how he struggled, he could not slow down the process in the slightest.
"You murderer have killed so many people. You will definitely go to hell."
Huo Yuhao pursed his lips and nodded in agreement.
"Maybe it's really like you said. One day someone will come to judge me and send me to hell, but that person won't be you."
He slowly leaned over, looking at Yu Ming, who only had his head left. His lips opened and closed, and in the last moments of his life, he sent subtle sounds into the other's ears.
"Because you don't deserve it."
Snap——
As Yu Ming completely turned into ashes and disappeared between heaven and earth, an ice-blue bead the size of a baby's fist fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"Does this count as a treasure drop from a monster?" Yuhao had a strange look on his face as he attempted to use the new terms he had learned from Yu Ming's memories.
Through the other party's memory, he naturally recognized that the bead was the ice-attributed Martial Spirit that could evolve. He bent down to pick it up. The bead was icy cold to the touch, but not piercing. There was a deep vortex inside that was constantly rotating.
Holding it in his arms, Huo Yuhao was thinking about finding some time to absorb it. After all, it was a trophy and he would rather not miss it. Although the fusion with Skydream Ice Silkworm could provide him with a semi-finished Martial Spirit, it was obvious that this one could evolve to a more powerful level.
The unfinished Martial Spirit at the beginning could not be used before it was fused with the Ice Emperor. However, with this bead, when it fused with Skydream, the ice-attribute Martial Spirit should be able to be directly activated. After all, this thing could evolve by absorbing the power of ice, and it did not necessarily have to absorb Spirit Rings.
Wasn't the Martial Spirit used by Brother Skydream to construct the semi-finished product the energy of ice attribute?
As for what this Martial Spirit would become after fusing with Brother Skydream, it was unknown.
It might be an ice silkworm, or it might be the same ice element as Ling Luochen. Anyway, it could continue to evolve by absorbing the power of the Ice Emperor. Although the combat effectiveness of this Martial Spirit would not be as strong as in his previous life before fusing with the Ice Emperor, it could at least give him more means to fight the enemy.
After doing all this, Yuhao glanced at Dai Huabin on the ground. The dark blue light on his body gradually faded, and he felt a sharp pain in his limbs. The strong feeling of weakness made his body shake.
This ability came from the Original Sin of Pride that he unlocked. As the origin of one of the Seven Deadly Sin gods in the divine world, Yuhao had already roughly understood the effect of this thing.
There are two kinds of effects, and both of them could be described as breaking the limit.
For example, the explosive ability he just used, which is similar to the God of Pride in the God Realm, could greatly improve his Spirit Power and physical fitness in a short period of time.
This was also an important factor in his being able to defeat four guards with just the first-level Spirit Power. Without Spirit Power as a fusion medium, he could not use his mental power alone.
Yuhao couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Fortunately, the other party was hanging around in a safe area near the Duke's Mansion, so the guards he brought with him were not particularly powerful. If they were all Spirit Ancestors or Spirit Kings, even if he had the power of the Original Sin of Pride, he would probably not be able to resist.
After all, his Spirit Power was only level one, and his physical fitness was at the bottom among children of the same age due to malnutrition. Even with his rich combat experience, he could not fight against enemies who were so much stronger.
The first effect was explosive amplification, but the other effect was more subtle.
In short, the moment the Original Sin of Pride was unlocked, it had already begun to improve Yuhao's body, allowing him to permanently break through the limits in both the quality and total amount of his Spirit Power.
This improvement was just like how he condensed a Spirit core that only other Titled Douluo could condense at the Spirit Sage realm in his previous life. It meant that in every major stage in the future, the quality and total amount of his Spirit Power would far exceed that of people of the same level.
This situation may not be obvious at low levels, but as the level increases, the gap between him and others will become more terrifying.
However, the benefits brought by the improvement of Spirit Power quality were more than that. There was no decent method of body training in Douluo Continent. From the one-ring Spirit Master to the nine-ring Titled Douluo, the improvement of physical fitness depended on Spirit Power. Huo Yuhao, whose Spirit Power quality exceeded that of his peers, would naturally have stronger physical fitness. The density of his bones and muscles, and even the strength of his internal organs and meridians would be stronger than others.
Of course, there were disadvantages as well. Firstly, this power would make people arrogant in their daily lives. But for Yuhao, it was negligible. As the God of Emotions in his previous life, he could be said to be born with the ability to restrain such emotions. Although he did not know what would happen as he unlocked more and more Original Sins, at least it would not affect him for the time being.
Secondly, the Spirit Power capacity had increased, so it would naturally take longer to practice. Compared with the benefits brought by the Original Sin of Pride, this problem could be ignored. He would just look for more ways to quickly improve his cultivation in the future.
The smile on Yuhao's face faded and he turned to look at the woods behind him.
"Have you seen enough? Come out."
Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried movement behind a tree. A moment later, a black-haired figure walked out from behind the tree with its head lowered and its hands nervously grasping the hem of its skirt. Although there were some differences in the way it looked when it entered school in its previous life, Huo Yuhao still recognized it at a glance.
Who else could it be but Zhu Lu?
Although she was pretending to be calm, the tears in her eyes and her trembling body betrayed her inner feelings.
Seeing Zhu Lu walking out foolishly without even trying to check whether he was trying to trick her, Huo Yuhao's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. After all, she was just a six-year-old child. Even if the children in this world were precocious, they were still ignorant at this age.
As for why she appeared here, it was probably because the elders of the clan wanted to bring her into contact with Dai Huabin. Yuhao was still clear about the relationship between the Duke's Mansion and the Zhu family. There were many factions within the Zhu family. According to Dai Huabin's talent in his previous life, his innate Spirit Power was definitely not low, so naturally some people would want to place bets in advance.
"Okay, stop crying."
Huo Yuhao restrained his aura a little and rubbed his brows to relieve the headache caused by excessive consumption of mental energy. Since she did not provoke him, he naturally would not take action.
"Just stay here until someone comes looking for you, can you do that?"
Seeing that Huo Yuhao had no intention of killing her, Zhu Lu was stunned for a moment, and then the timidity on her face lessened a little. She nodded and asked in a low voice.
"You, are you going to leave the Duke's Mansion?"
Looking at the current situation, she naturally guessed that Yuhao wanted to delay the time for the people in the Duke's Mansion to discover this place and would take the opportunity to leave the Duke's Mansion.
However, Yuhao raised his eyebrows, and his voice suddenly became a little cold.
"What do you want to do?"
"Don't misunderstand!" Zhu Lu waved her hands in panic, then took off the storage bracelet on her wrist and carefully handed it to Huo Yuhao.
"There's some money in here that should help you."
