The waters of the Ice Fire Yin-Yang Well were tinted, blocking the view.
But aside from Ma Xiaotao, who here would be stopped by something so trivial?
The freshly cleansed Huo Yuhao drew the curious stares of the naive immortal herbs like the Fragrant Silk Beauty.
They poked their heads out, staring intently.
Wang Dong's side, however, was strange.
His underwear and the small vest covering his chest still remained intact, impervious even to the Ice Fire Yin-Yang Well.
They were definitely no ordinary items.
"Ahem!" Tianmeng Iceworm reminded them, "It's rude to peek, you know."
Only then did the crowd finally stop watching.
Because it was a blood sacrifice, the medicinal power didn't need long to be absorbed.
But Zhuge Lan decided the timing was perfect to add more fuel.
An eighty-thousand-year spiritual-type skull, with rare fusion properties, was thrown in together with the Emerald Phantom Spirit Skull bone to "brew the soup"!
---
Condition: After fusion, the skull's age will exceed 100,000 years, retaining its skill Spiritual Storage, while also giving birth to an additional spiritual attack-type skill!
Cost: 14,000 fortune points! Proceed with creation?
Still fairly cheap.
Create!
---
Condition: Using the Secret Soul Left Arm Bone as the medium, with the Water and Fire Dragon Kings' ribs as the foundation, create a symbiotic external spirit bone — Dragon King Claws, to be borne by Huo Yuhao's left hand and Wang Dong's right hand!
Cost: 750,000 fortune points!
Proceed with creation?
Zhuge Lan winced a little — back to square one in an instant!
But thinking of it another way, these fortune points weren't gone; they were simply taking another form to stay by their side, and could even yield returns later.
Create!
Two Dragon King ribs rose from beneath the spring, falling onto the hands of the pair, spinning into the form of the Dragon King Claws.
Zhuge Lan didn't forget to also place the Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear's Right Claw external spirit bone onto Huo Yuhao's right hand.
Together, amidst the blood sacrifice, Ice Fire Refining Body, condensation of the Dragon King Claws, and the birth of the Water Dragon King martial soul, they began synchronizing, absorbing each other's aura.
---
Multiple spirit bones could indeed merge into fusion techniques—Zhuge Lan was preparing precisely for that.
After this whole process…
Even Mu En (Lv. 99) and Xuan Zi (Lv. 98) were completely drained and still not enough.
The Fragrant Silk Beauty and other immortal herbs also had to donate their own soul power.
It lasted more than two full hours.
Finally, soul rings surfaced on the two of them.
Huo Yuhao only had one crimson soul ring. Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass had become the first soul ring of his second martial soul.
But Wang Dong's was something else entirely:
Yellow, purple, black, red!
It looked progressive…
The hell it was!
Other than the first yellow ring, none of the rest made sense!
"Quaaack!!!"
Wang Dong activated his martial soul, wings wrapping around him, then burst from the well and snatched a storage ring from the air.
He swiftly changed into new clothes.
Aside from Ma Xiaotao, everyone present exchanged ambiguous glances.
Clearly, they'd all figured out his "true identity."
[Destiny rewritten for Huo Yuhao, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Wang Dong, and Blazing Apricot—+150,000 fortune points!]
Huo Yuhao, unaware of just how much fortune value had been spent, gasped "Holy shit!" as he opened his eyes.
Two golden beams shot forth, spinning into triple-tomoe windmill patterns, on the verge of merging into one.
Noticing something, he pointed at Wang Dong in shock.
The merging halted, reverting back to three tomoe.
Zhuge Lan secretly ground his teeth—should he throw in a few fortune points to help?
Five thousand?
Forget it.
Little Yuhao was just one trigger away from evolving his eyes into a Mangekyou by himself.
Besides, he'd just received plenty of cheats.
He needed time to adapt and grow.
Absolutely not because Zhuge Lan's stash was empty, leaving him in too much pain to breathe!
Don't be fooled by the 150,000 fortune points returned—in reality, the gross intake was 300,000.
But when you factored in the investments—like the 80,000-year spirit skull, the external spirit bone Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear's Right Claw, remnants of the Water Dragon King's soul, Nine Nether Spring Dew, and more—the actual expenditure was far higher.
Thankfully, it wasn't wasted. It had all been converted into potential, waiting for Huo Yuhao to turn it into true strength.
That gave Zhuge Lan some comfort.
Outside, Huo Yuhao was still staring, leaving Wang Dong blushing furiously.
He'd been… exposed.
"Your martial soul!" Huo Yuhao exclaimed. "It evolved?"
Wang Dong: "..."
Still the same clueless idiot!!!
Wang Dong released his spirit body, letting it float behind him. Tilting his head up, he carefully examined it.
The martial soul now took dragon wings as its base, colored in gradients of blue and gold, with wavy butterfly-like edges glowing faintly with golden halos.
It perfectly combined the strength of dragons with the elegance of butterfly wings, while also radiating a familiar, oppressive aura.
It seemed…
Wasn't this just the soul remnant from earlier?
Though weakened greatly, only a 1/10.000 remained.
But that was still a 1/10.000 of the Fire Dragon King!
The many hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts present all felt a faint suppression, their strength reduced by at least ten percent.
It wasn't domain power—just simple bloodline suppression.
"It really evolved!" Wang Dong said joyfully. "Calling it the Light Goddess Butterfly doesn't fit anymore. Let's call it the Light God Divine Butterfly!"
A fiery red figure leapt out—it was the sultry Blazing Apricot.
She was now the same size as Wang Dong, staring unblinkingly at the Light Dragon God Butterfly.
"Dragon God, huh? You sure dare to name it that."
"Of course! I mean, Dragon Divine Butterfly just doesn't sound as good as Dragon God Butterfly." Wang Dong replied confidently, not feeling the slightest taboo.
Blazing Apricot snorted and turned her gaze toward Huo Yuhao.
"Octagon, you dead yet?"
Ice-blue light condensed, forming into a cold-faced young boy.
He calmly nodded at the other herbs, confirming that the Spirit Equality Contract was indeed real—then immediately returned to Huo Yuhao's spiritual world.
He hadn't spared Blazing Apricot a single glance.
She stomped her feet furiously!
"Wang Dong, beat up Octagon's master for me!"
"I'm not Octagon's master," Huo Yuhao corrected. "We signed a Spirit Equality Contract—we're partners."
"I don't care! Just beat him up!"
Wang Dong held his forehead helplessly.
Why couldn't his spirit have been the quiet, detached Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass instead?
But the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass made it clear.
It wasn't by choice.
There was a big boss in Huo Yuhao's spiritual world. Best show your face quickly, then vanish back.
After all, there was already a half-god floating outside—and even beyond that, another hidden trump card?
Ridiculous!
"Alright then," Huo Yuhao changed the subject. "Take a look—my second martial soul: the Water Dragon King!"
This instantly drew everyone's attention.
Ice-blue light radiated brilliantly, with snowflakes fluttering through the air.
A majestic dragon silhouette appeared, its scales flowing with patterns of extreme cold water, its claws gleaming with razor-sharp frost.
The dragon's aura, several times stronger than the Light Dragon God Butterfly's, swept out, shocking both humans and beasts alike!
"Even I feel suppressed—my strength capped at 92%." Mu En said gravely.
"I'm down to 88%," Xuan Zi added darkly.
"You're kidding! I can barely use 60% of my strength!" Ma Xiaotao exclaimed dramatically.
"Eh… is it really that bad?" Wang Dong scratched his head. "I think it feels pretty friendly. Almost like… it wants to use Martial Soul Fusion?"
Everyone: "..."
Special cases don't count. Ignore that.
"By the way," Wang Dong tilted his head curiously, "wasn't it the Ice Fire Yin-Yang Well? Why is it the Water Dragon King, not the Ice Dragon King?"
"Because water encompasses all. Ice is just one form of it." Huo Yuhao explained.
"Got it. Water Dragon King > Ice Dragon King." Wang Dong translated.
"No wonder it's called Water Dragon King," Mu En sighed. "Such absolute suppression of soul beasts and beast spirits alike."
"Which means… it's Xiao Tao's turn next, isn't it?"
The topic successfully shifted.
Ma Xiaotao eagerly stepped forward, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Electrolux.
"Can I call you Brother Lan together with little Yuhao?"
Electrolux stayed silent.
He wasn't good at dealing with girls, and right now Zhuge Lan couldn't come out either.
So he simply nodded.
"Great! Brother Lan!" Ma Xiaotao said with shining admiration. "I haven't slept well these past nights, regretting not meeting you earlier! But… why is your face so blurry?"
And the reason for that was, of course—
