While comforting the Ice Empress, Huo Yuhao let Jiu Jiu's explanation continue.
"Because Ice Jade Scorpions usually live in large groups, managing to hunt one alone is practically a miracle. It's even harder than entering the Star Dou Forest to hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul beast."
"And what's even rarer is that after killing it, you actually end up obtaining a soul bone."
"So what I want to make clear is: once an ice-attribute soul master fuses with this left arm bone, their martial soul's ice attribute will be greatly enhanced."
"No matter what soul skill they use, its temperature will be far lower than before. This is basically a full-scale boost. Calling this the first benefit of the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone is more than justified."
"Secondly, Ice Jade Scorpions are naturally strong. After fusing this arm bone, the user's left arm strength will increase tremendously."
"And then there's the third benefit: after completing the fusion, the soul bone's innate skill becomes yours. This skill is called—Ice Explosion!"
"This skill is a divine ability even for Ice Jade Scorpions themselves!"
"As long as there is ice, Ice Explosion can activate. And if you're in a world of snow and ice, its destructive power is comparable to any hundred-thousand-year soul skill!"
"Three weaknesses, three advantages—I've laid them all out clearly. As long as you're an ice-attribute soul master, you will never regret having this. Now, guests, you have ten minutes to examine it."
Even Ling Luochen couldn't remain unmoved.
To her, possessing this soul bone meant her entire power level could rise by a full tier, greatly benefiting her future growth.
Ice Explosion—such a simple name.
But as an ice-attribute soul master, how could she not understand what it meant?
To put it plainly, the power of Ice Explosion was comparable to the corpse explosion skill they once encountered from the Death God Envoy—
Except even stronger.
To an ice-type soul master, creating ice was child's play.
And once Ice Explosion was triggered on that ice… if used properly, it was absolutely worthy of being called a divine skill!
Seeing the longing shining in Ling Luochen's eyes, Huo Yuhao simply pulled her over and let her sit on his lap.
"If Senior Sister likes it, I can buy it for you."
The moment he spoke, the crowd gasped.
"What!?"
"Huo Yuhao, you can't give it away!"
"This—!"
Not only were the girls stunned, even Tianmeng Iceworm in his spiritual sea nearly flipped the world upside down.
"Huo Yuhao! Listen to your brother—no matter the cost, win this soul bone!"
"This thing is tailor-made for you!"
Even Ma Xiaotao felt a sting of jealousy.
"Little Yuhao, this soul bone is too precious. Your martial soul fits it far better. You should keep it."
Even the Ice Empress—who had been sulking earlier—sent her voice into his mind.
"Little Yuhao! For the Ice Jade Scorpion race, Ice Explosion is extremely rare and incredibly precious!"
"If I had this skill back in the Extreme North, I might've been able to challenge the Snow Empress for the top rank among the three kings!"
Everyone begged him to keep it.
But could Huo Yuhao say the words they expected?
He couldn't.
Yes, he was a shameless flirt, but toward each girl, his sincerity was real.
A soul bone equal in value to a hundred-thousand-year one for ice-attribute soul masters? No one would give up something like that.
Yet Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate.
Sincerity had always been Huo Yuhao's ultimate killing move.
"Senior Sister, I will buy this soul bone and give it to you."
"You all want to say something, I know. But listen to me."
"If one day the same situation appears again, I, Huo Yuhao, will still choose to give the opportunity to you."
"To me, you're not just companions—you're family."
Even Qingya, already a mature young woman, felt her heart stir at his words.
Let alone the group of young girls around him—
In mere moments, they were completely bewitched by him.
Their gazes toward Huo Yuhao had all gained… new flavors.
Ding! Ling Luochen favorability increased to 80%!
Ding! Ma Xiaotao favorability increased to 85%!
Ding! Wang Dong favorability increased to 86%!
Ding! Xiao Xiao favorability increased to 75%!
Ding! Zhu Lu favorability increased to 90%!
Ding! Jiang Nannan favorability increased to 70%!
Ding! Wu Feng favorability increased to 72%!
Ding! Ning Tian favorability increased to 60%!
Ding! Qingya favorability increased to 65%!
...
In just an instant, Huo Yuhao's mind was spammed with notifications.
A single minute had yielded him half a year's worth of progress!
But then…
Looking at the girls' hazy, enchanted eyes, Huo Yuhao suddenly said:
"This soul bone… still has a small issue."
"What!? Impossible!"
Qingya, the auctioneer, was the first to jump up.
This soul bone had passed countless inspections—how could it have a problem?
Even Ling Luochen's excitement sank instantly.
"Pfft—hahaha!"
"Look at how nervous you two got!"
Seeing their reactions, Huo Yuhao burst out laughing.
"Relax. The soul bone itself has no issues. What I mean is: the person absorbing it might."
"This soul bone isn't something just anyone can absorb."
Qingya, as an experienced auctioneer, immediately realized what he meant.
"Little brother Yuhao, this bone can only be absorbed by ice-attribute soul masters with cultivation high enough for a fifty-thousand-year soul bone. You're referring to that requirement?"
"If that's all, you don't need to worry!"
But Huo Yuhao shook his head.
"The restrictions don't end there. As one of the most proud races of the Extreme North, the Ice Jade Scorpion holds the strongest ice in the world."
"So whether it's their spirit rings or soul bones, they all have a special condition for absorption."
"What… condition?"
Both Qingya and Ling Luochen stared wide-eyed at him.
Huo Yuhao spoke solemnly:
"Ultimate Ice. Without a martial soul that carries Ultimate Ice, it is absolutely impossible to absorb this soul bone."
"That's impossible!" Qingya blurted out.
"What kind of soul bone has requirements that extreme!? Wouldn't that mean almost no one in the world can absorb it!?"
"Ultimate Ice—among millions, you wouldn't even find one person!"
