Douluo: The True Eye
#103 - Second Martial Spirit
After Poison Undying laid down a soul power blockade and controlled all the immortal herbs, he checked the blockade again to ensure stability.
"Alright, there won't be any problems now. At least within ten days, these immortal herbs won't be able to break this seal from the inside." Poison Undying nodded with satisfaction.
At the same time, he also picked the Snow Celestial Swan Neck according to the method Huo Yuhao had previously mentioned.
With the suppression of the Qiluo Heart, the process of picking the Snow Celestial Swan Neck went very smoothly, without any accidents.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao was walking around in the valley, looking around, which confused Poison Undying.
"Yuhao, what are you looking for? Those high-year soul beasts should all be under control, right?"
Huo Yuhao said, "Master, I am searching for the opportunity I sensed before."
In reality, Huo Yuhao was looking for the most suitable place to analyze the Ice Dragon King's remains.
Although the Eye of Truth's analysis is comprehensive enough, the Ice Dragon King was, after all, a being at the level of a God King. The previous large-scale analysis only allowed Huo Yuhao to determine the location of its true body.
If he really wanted to completely analyze it, I'm afraid he would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.
After all, Huo Yuhao's cultivation is not high enough now, and he is still far from the God level. However, Huo Yuhao's purpose this time is not to analyze the existence of the two Dragon Kings, but just to gain some benefits.
After finding the most suitable location to observe the Ice Dragon King's remains, Huo Yuhao sat down cross-legged on the shore near the ice spring of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Not far from him was the location where the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass grew.
Along with the Eye of Truth's layers of analysis, the form and structure of the Ice Dragon King's remains gradually took shape in Huo Yuhao's mind.
The elemental laws controlled by the Ice Dragon King, its remaining divine power, and divine thoughts – the analysis of these parts progressed particularly slowly.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao directly abandoned this part and instead focused on deconstructing the Ice Dragon King's physical body.
With the previous process of deconstructing the Ice Dragon's External Spirit Bone, although the Ice Dragon King's cultivation was high enough, and its life level was vastly different from that of the weak Little Ice Dragon.
However, the Dragon Clan's bloodline and racial components, apart from the strength of their accumulated cultivation, had not undergone any essential changes.
Using the experience of deconstructing the Ice Dragon's External Spirit Bone as a guide, Huo Yuhao quickly found the correct way to open the structure of the Ice Dragon King's body.
At the same time, combining his previous experience in modifying his Spirit, Huo Yuhao began to establish the final form of the second Spirit that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm brought to him – that formless ice.
However, although the essence of the ice-attribute Spirit brought by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was pure, its quantity was very small.
After all, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm itself was not a soul beast good at using ice attributes, and its ice attribute could only be regarded as a bonus at most.
So, the second Spirit he brought to Huo Yuhao was originally a product of him purifying his ice attribute.
Although the ultimate attributes of Douluo Continent are not considered very powerful in other worlds, at most they are purer, but unfortunately, the other attributes on Douluo Continent are weaker and more chaotic.
And Huo Yuhao has a way to adjust this purity, just like what Ilex said about affinity. If a person's affinity for ice attributes is only ten percent.
Then, if the ninety percent of the incompatible parts are removed, the remaining part will naturally have a one hundred percent affinity.
But how can humans with only ten percent of their body parts survive? How can they continue to cultivate without a complete body?
This is the process known as complete energy transformation, also known as the so-called divine body on Douluo Star.
The first step to becoming a god is to purify one's physical body and abandon those chaotic parts.
But how can this be done?
The ultimate attribute in the Spirit is to make the non-substantial Spirit pure enough to compensate for the shortcomings of the human flesh body.
However, unlike the ultimate attribute soul beasts that truly possess more than ninety percent elemental affinity from the root through continuous evolution, the human body is still a flesh body after all, coupled with the influence of various mutations.
Therefore, among human soul masters, there are very few people with ultimate attributes. Even if they inherit a Spirit with ultimate attributes, they may not necessarily possess the equivalent ultimate attribute.
Being able to analyze and reorganize through the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao can completely strip away those impure parts that make up his Spirit, but this raises another question.
That is, what should be used to supplement the missing parts? Energy and flesh tissue, like flesh and blood, cannot be created out of thin air.
At most, it is transformed through other forms and turned into a part of oneself.
However, Huo Yuhao cannot do this step yet because he cannot perform complete transformation according to his own will.
Therefore, he needs to use the geographical advantage of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and he also needs to use the essence of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
Through external supplementation, he can support the process of constructing the Spirit form through pure ice.
Otherwise, even if he eventually shapes the second Spirit according to the body structure of the Ice Dragon King, what is ultimately born can only be a Spirit with form but no substance, with only an empty appearance.
"Master, give me the essence of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass." Huo Yuhao said to Poison Undying, who was beside him, "I've found the feeling. Please stay away from me next."
Poison Undying was a little puzzled. After all, although the various talents Huo Yuhao had shown before were surprising, he had never shown any talent related to ice attributes. Why would he need the ice-attribute treasure, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass?
However, looking at Huo Yuhao's confident eyes, Poison Undying nodded and handed the vessel containing the essence of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass to Huo Yuhao without saying anything more.
Huo Yuhao held the vessel containing the essence of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass with his mental power, allowing it to float in front of his chest, and then slowly closed his eyes.
After Poison Undying was a little further away from him, and his aura would not conflict with him, an aura similar to the ice spring in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well began to rise from Huo Yuhao's body.
Frost gradually formed along Huo Yuhao's skin, eventually turning into a thick layer of ice crystals, completely encasing his entire body.
If one had to describe it, Huo Yuhao's appearance, enveloped in ice crystals, was similar to the True Dragon Egg encased in crimson crystal at the previous auction.
Within Huo Yuhao's body, a spirit that was once shapeless but undeniably present was now truly taking form.
‘Incredible,’ Tianmeng Iceworm exclaimed, awakened by the sight. After all, the spirit Huo Yuhao was transforming was born because of him.
The 'ice' that Tianmeng Iceworm had previously deemed soulless had now transformed into ice crystals, covering every inch of Huo Yuhao's body.
Tianmeng Iceworm said with some concern, ‘If a spirit ring from an ice-attribute spirit beast were used as the core, the energy from the spirit ring would definitely be able to grant your second spirit a true form.’
‘But Yuhao, you don't have a spirit ring to assist you externally. If you rely solely on yourself, this second spirit will definitely vanish if you fail.’
‘Don't worry, Brother Tianmeng, I never do anything unprepared.’
Huo Yuhao was right; he never did anything without preparation. However, he also didn't claim to have a 100% certainty of success.
If Huo Yuhao were relying solely on himself, his chances of success would be about 30%. But with the life force provided by the Gold of Life, the essence of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, and the Ice Eye of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as assistance, the success rate would increase by at least another 30%.
And considering the influence of luck in the dark, Huo Yuhao's chances of success would increase by at least another 10%, bringing the total success rate to about 70%.
A 70% success rate was worth a gamble because Huo Yuhao didn't actually value this second spirit that much. After all, people in the Douluo Continent believed that the more spirits one had, the better, but he didn't think so.
For the natives of the Douluo Continent, more spirits meant more spirit skills. More spirit skills meant more complex methods, making them harder to target.
But for Huo Yuhao, in battles of the same level, his ability to strike was already broad enough. What he lacked was a sufficiently powerful, absolute means.
Moreover, too many spirits made it difficult for a spirit master to have a clear path, just like Huo Yuhao after becoming a god in the original story.
His second spirit was never cultivated as his main ability, and even the existence of his third spirit could be said to have been directly ignored after he became a god.
After all, before and after becoming a god were two different levels. The limit of abilities that a spirit could accommodate was, at most, only level 100.
As the ice crystals formed, Huo Yuhao began his actions. Through the guidance of his mental power and the Eye of Truth, he altered the form of the shapeless ice spirit within his body.
At the same time, with the help of the ice crystals encasing his body, Huo Yuhao began to filter the essence of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass in front of him. Pure ice energy seeped into Huo Yuhao's body through the ice crystals.
The ice attribute of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass was already extremely pure, but it only corresponded to about 92% affinity with ice elements.
However, after being filtered by the layer of ice crystals on Huo Yuhao's body, the purity of the energy absorbed by Huo Yuhao directly approached 99%. As for 100% purity, it was no longer something that a mere spirit could accommodate.
In this process, a new spirit was conceived and slowly took shape within Huo Yuhao's body.
However, with the absorption of this extremely pure ice-attribute energy and the formation of the new spirit, the Ultimate Ice Spirit, possessing 99% ice-attribute energy affinity, began to have a serious impact on Huo Yuhao's body.
This impact even caused more severe damage to Huo Yuhao's body than the impact of obtaining the Ice Jade Scorpion Empress Spirit in the original story.
Although the Ice Jade Scorpion Empress had a high cultivation level, most of its energy was completely sealed after becoming a spirit, leaving only the influence of the Ultimate attribute.
The Ice Jade Scorpion race all possessed the Ultimate Ice attribute, but the purity of the Ultimate Ice attribute varied. The purity of the Ultimate Ice attribute of ordinary Ice Jade Scorpions was about 90%, the threshold.
As for the Ice Empress, the Ice Jade Scorpion Empress, her own Ultimate Ice attribute was only about 94%.
But even so, it caused Huo Yuhao's body in the original story to greatly reduce its cultivation speed in order to adapt to this high-purity Ultimate Ice attribute. If there hadn't been a large number of opportunities to compensate, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
What was the concept of 99% purity of Ultimate Ice?
At this time, Huo Yuhao's body had begun to involuntarily change its form, starting the process of completing the final 1% and becoming completely elementalized under the influence of the Ultimate Ice.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao activated the energy of the Gold of Life. With the help of the Gold of Life's life force, the flesh and blood tissues in Huo Yuhao's body began to rapidly recover and strengthen, contending with the Ultimate Ice, or rather, adapting to each other's existence.
If Huo Yuhao's body couldn't withstand the extremely pure Ultimate Ice attribute, then his body would eventually turn into a mass of pure ice crystals.
But if Huo Yuhao's body could withstand it, then under the high pressure of the Ultimate Ice, his body's strength would inevitably rise to another level.
Generally speaking, this situation was difficult to achieve because a spirit master's life force was far inferior to that of a spirit beast, let alone the Ultimate attribute that even spirit beasts found difficult to withstand.
However, the existence of the Gold of Life gave Huo Yuhao the opportunity to turn the impossible into possible. With a constant supply of life force, Huo Yuhao quickly absorbed the life energy that could only be slowly absorbed through a gradual process.
Too much life energy wasn't a good thing either, but now, with the ebb and flow, and the dual tempering of the vast life energy and the Ultimate Ice, the flesh and blood tissues in Huo Yuhao's body were destroyed and regenerated at an alarming rate.
At the same time, the limit of energy it could bear and its own strength were rapidly increasing.
Moreover, through the regulation of the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao didn't allow his body to lean towards ice attributes in this process.
Instead, he simply tempered the strength of his body, allowing it to withstand the influence of the Ultimate Ice.
If left unchecked, Huo Yuhao's body would naturally begin to befriend the ice attribute under the tempering of life energy and the Ultimate Ice, which would naturally be easier, but it was something Huo Yuhao disdained.
