Chapter 9 Su Tong
For Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei and Tang Ya were just a minor incident.
After bidding farewell to the two of them, Huo Yuhao headed north, passing through many important cities of the Heavenly Soul Empire along the way.
He spent the longest time in Tiandou City, paying close attention to news about the Body Sect, but the result left him somewhat disappointed.
Since the Body Sect caused a beast tide many years ago, and Shrek Academy had to clean up the mess, this Soul Master sect, which consisted almost entirely of brutes, disappeared from the Douluo Continent.
If the Martial Scripture hadn't pointed out that the Body Sect was the guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire, Huo Yuhao would have been completely clueless, not knowing where to look for the Body Sect.
They might not even know the name "Body Sect".
Although the Body Sect in the Martial Classic is almost entirely composed of brutes, Huo Yuhao still yearns for the Body Sect.
Aside from the Spirit Eye factor, the most important thing was that the atmosphere of the Body Sect made him feel quite similar to that of the Tianxuan Continent.
"Physical combat techniques, Heavenly Profound Martial Arts," Huo Yuhao closed the book "History of the Heavenly Soul Empire" in the Heavenly Soul Library, a clear light flashing in his spiritual eyes that went unnoticed by others, "The Body Sect is simply a sect tailor-made for me in my current state."
"Especially their second awakening secret technique, once I master it, I should be able to start cultivating the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger and the Desolate Demon Eye ahead of time."
"Even with enough dragon-type soul beasts and soul bones, one can begin cultivating the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique."
He turned his gaze to the Starry Sky Forest.
When it comes to dragon-type soul beasts in the Douluo Continent, the most famous one is probably the Beast God Di Tian, who is known as the number one ferocious beast.
"Brother Hao, what are you looking over there for?"
Following Huo Yuhao's gaze, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm saw a group of figures: "Do you recognize anyone?"
"No. I'm just calculating how much longer it will take to reach the far north." Huo Yuhao got up and borrowed a book called "Secrets of the Far North" from the bookshelf to start reading.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm instantly became interested.
"Brother Hao, you might as well ask me instead of me."
It said, "I am a native soul beast of the far north. If the Ice Silkworm's origin were not too weak, there would be no Beast God Emperor Tian now, only Beast God Tian Meng dominating the world."
Without looking up, Huo Yuhao retorted, "How long have you been away from the far north? Can you guarantee your information is up-to-date?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm awkwardly flicked its tail.
"Look at this."
Huo Yuhao pointed to a soul beast marked on the book:
"The Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad is a highly poisonous ice-attribute soul beast. After the collision between the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent, it migrated from the Sun Moon Continent to the far north. Its territory is located on the outer edge of the far north, bordering the human world, and it is known as the king of the crevices."
"When you left the far north, was this spirit beast there?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was even more embarrassed: "No."
Huo Yuhao turned the page again.
He pointed out four or five soul beasts that had migrated from the original Sun Moon Continent to the far north: "You recognize all of these?"
Tianmeng Bingcan felt her face burning red, and stammered in response, "I don't know her."
"You don't know anything about these soul beasts," Huo Yuhao said. "If you go to the far north without prior knowledge, you could very well encounter mortal danger."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm stopped speaking and instead focused its mental energy intently on the book "Secrets of the Far North".
It's incredibly shameful that a million-year-old soul beast from the far north doesn't even know which new soul beasts have appeared there.
"Secrets of the Far North? You're an ice-attribute Soul Master?"
Just as Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm were carefully reading "Secrets of the Far North", a clear, cold voice, like shattered jade hitting a spring, suddenly came from their ears.
Huo Yuhao looked up and saw a woman in a white, wide-sleeved dress looking down at the book in his hand.
She looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, with long, snow-white hair that was naturally loose, skin as translucent as snow, a straight nose, and delicate features. Her appearance was as cool and aloof as her voice.
Although she took the initiative to talk to Huo Yuhao, her face was expressionless, and she seemed quite distant.
Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Yes, I am an ice-attribute soul master. I plan to go to the far north to hunt souls in a few days."
The man said "Oh," and then continued, "This book was published a hundred years ago and contains many errors. For example, the snowstorm clouds marked on page thirty-six have long since shifted. If you follow its directions, you'll only be taking the wrong path."
"At the same time, the Snowfield Ice Wolf mentioned in the Soul Beast chapter has migrated more than 5,000 miles to the southwest because of a 10,000-year-old Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad. Your attention should be turned to that 10,000-year-old Soul Beast."
Huo Yuhao closed the book, stood up, and clasped his hands in thanks to her.
"You're welcome," she said, smoothing her hair. "You're the first ice-attribute soul master I've met in the inland, and you're not very old either, so it's only right that I give you some pointers."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Su Tong, and I come from Beiyuan City."
"My name is Huo Yuhao, from the Star Luo Empire," Huo Yuhao replied.
A hint of surprise flashed in Su Tong's icy blue eyes: "The Star Luo Empire? I didn't expect to find ice-attribute soul masters there."
Huo Yuhao simply smiled and offered no further explanation.
Su Tong didn't ask any more questions.
She reached for a piece of white paper nearby, marked all the errors in "Secrets of the Far North," and then handed it to Huo Yuhao.
"That's about it. The rest are minor issues that don't really matter," Su Tong said.
Huo Yuhao accepted the paper with both hands and then expressed his sincere gratitude.
"Thank you for the advice. I will do my best to help you if needed in the future."
A rare smile appeared on Su Tong's face: "Want to help me? Then you'd better work hard at your cultivation in the future."
"Because I don't usually encounter trouble, and when I do, it's not the kind of trouble that ordinary people can solve."
After exchanging a few words, Huo Yuhao stood up, clasped his hands in a respectful bow to Su Tong, and then left the Heavenly Soul Library, continuing his journey towards the far north.
Watching Huo Yuhao's departing figure, Su Tong's expression returned to its usual aloofness.
"Strange," she wondered to herself, "why do I always feel that he has the aura of the far north?"
If it weren't for this strange feeling, given Su Tong's aloof nature, she would never have spoken to a stranger.
Even if the other party is an ice-attribute soul master from inland areas, it's the same.
"For the Ice and Snow Maiden's martial soul to feel familiar, his martial soul must be from a soul beast clan in the far north, or even possibly a soul beast from the core area."
"Judging from his accent, he is indeed from the Star Luo Empire. But the climate there is hot, and there are many fire-attribute soul masters. How could a soul beast martial soul from the far north be born there? The probability of that is almost nonexistent."
Su Tong carefully recalled the soul beasts in the core area of the far north, but she couldn't remember which kind of soul beast could correspond to the feeling that Huo Yuhao gave her.
