Chapter 37: Spiritual Mirroring
"Very good."
Huo Yuhao walked up to the fifty-thousand-year Mirror Image Beast.
The Mirror Image Beast was incredibly obedient, remaining completely motionless.
His soft white hair escaped the hair tie, and a tall phantom figure appeared, accompanied by only a single black Soul Ring rising up.
Huo Yuhao did not want to expose his million-year Soul Ring. After experiencing the sacrifices of the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress, Huo Yuhao's Physical Body had also reached the same level as his spirit.
Soul King.
Absorbing a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring was more than enough.
Flipping his hand, an extremely cold aura condensed, and a long sword forged from ice and snow appeared in Huo Yuhao's hand.
This was the Emperor Sword, Peerless Polar Ice, one of the Snow Empresss Three Ultimate Arts.
The extremely cold aura made the Mirror Image Beast shiver.
The Emperor Sword swung down, scaring the Mirror Image Beast into closing its eyes immediately.
However, it only felt a slight coolness graze its scales.
The Mirror Image Beast opened its eyes and realized that a tiny wound had been cleaved into its scales, with a small bead of blue blood emerging from the cut.
"Master, I must trouble you."
Electrolux silently appeared beside Huo Yuhao, signed the Master-servant contract, guided the Mirror Image Beast through the sacrifice, and finally transformed it into a Soul Spirit.
It must be said that a fifty-thousand-year Soul Beast was indeed not very intelligent; it even needed guidance on how to sacrifice itself.
After completing all this, Electrolux immediately returned to the sea of consciousness.
He was very busy now; the Soul Spirit method was only roughly completed, he needed to find a way to refine medicine from the hundred-thousand-year Snow Lotus, and the research on Soul Bones was ongoing.
What a truly good Master.
The pressure brought to Huo Yuhao by absorbing the Soul Ring from the fifty-thousand-year Mirror Image Beast's sacrifice could only be described as present, but minimal.
"This... is this a Soul Spirit?"
The Mirror Image Beast, whose body had shrunk slightly, was hopping and rolling beside Huo Yuhao, its eyes wide open. Huo Yuhao could discern a look of shock on its beast face.
Relying on the connection with the Soul Spirit, Huo Yuhao could understand what it was saying.
"This is a Soul Spirit. The choice you made today will make you feel immensely fortunate in the future."
"Yes, Master!"
"Like Tianmeng, call me Brother Huo. From now on, we are companions."
"Mhm, oh, okay, Brother Huo!"
The Mirror Image Beast still seemed a bit foolish.
Subsequently, Huo Yuhao let the Mirror Image Beast return to the Soul Ring to rest and recuperate.
After all, it was only a fifty-thousand-year Soul Beast, and the sacrifice had consumed a significant amount of its energy.
Huo Yuhao stood up, his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul in its attached state.
One yellow and one black Soul Ring rose up around Huo Yuhao.
While integrating the Soul Ring, Tianmeng took the opportunity to raise the age limit of the first Soul Ring, integrating more power into it.
The age of the first Soul Ring was now twelve thousand years, which was Huo Yuhao's current limit of endurance.
With a thought, the second Soul Ring turned a deep purple.
A fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring, anyone paying close attention could tell.
No one would believe it was a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, so it needed to be simulated and disguised.
Electrolux's voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness once more.
"Yuhao, the increase in the Soul Ring's age limit is surprisingly simple, merely a crude infusion of Origin Power."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said gloomily, "It's not simple at all! A pure spiritual Origin like mine is very rare..."
"Yuhao, when you reach the Soul King Realm, I will teach you how to purify the Soul Beast's Origin Power."
"Thank you, Teacher."
Huo Yuhao smiled.
Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.
He sensed the Soul skills brought to him by the fifty-thousand-year Mirror Image Beast.
[Spiritual Mirroring] The reflection mirrored in the eyes can mirror and store the Soul skillss of a Soul Master or Soul Beast. The Soul Power consumed by mirroring depends on the power of the Soul skills. It cannot mirror a Soul skills that exceeds the capacity of the Soul Ring. Every ten levels grants one permanent mirroring slot, allowing one Soul skills to be mirrored and stored in advance. Soul Power must be replenished after the skill is released. Every ten levels grants one temporary mirroring slot, which can only be used once.
Not exceeding the Mirror Image Beast's age limit? The Mirror Image Beast that sacrificed itself to Huo Yuhao was a fifty-thousand-year Soul Beast itself, meaning it cannot mirror Soul skillss exceeding fifty thousand years.
That is sufficient.
The age limit of the Soul Ring can be continuously increased in the future. This means that from this moment on, the Soul skillss possessed by every Soul Master across the continent will become Huo Yuhao's skill reserve.
For every ten levels of Soul Power, one permanent Soul skills mirroring slot can be selected for storage. As long as the Soul Power is replenished beforehand, the skill can be released without consumption.
Permanently stored Soul skills mirrors can be replaced, but mirroring requires time.
Likewise, every ten levels provides one temporary mirror, which consumes Soul Power during mirroring and can only be used once.
If not used, it can be preserved. The mirroring time is almost instantaneous, allowing for instant mirroring.
As expected of the Mirror Image Beast, what a Divine Skill!
Compared to the Spiritual Replication provided by the Silver Shadow Beast in the original work, and Oscar's Mirror Sausage from ten thousand years ago, neither is as good as Spiritual Mirroring.
Of course, there are many reasons. Huo Yuhao's current first Martial Soul is the Dharma Body, with the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul as its core. Its quality has increased, and the Mirror Image Beast was a fifty-thousand-year Soul Beast that sacrificed itself and transformed into a Soul Spirit. Only all these factors combined created the Spiritual Mirroring, which can truly be called a Divine Skill.
"Yuhao, congratulations."
The Snow Empress spoke, which was rare.
Although she didn't know what Soul skills Huo Yuhao had obtained, with her pure heart, she could sense the joy emanating from him, both internally and externally.
Of course, this was also because Huo Yuhao didn't conceal his emotions.
"Thank you."
Huo Yuhao accepted the congratulations frankly.
"Let's go! Ice Empress, Snow Empress, let's go try out my new Soul skills together!"
Huh, it seems he forgot to call Tianmeng.
It wasn't important. Tianmeng was currently studying with Electrolux, adopting a posture determined to reclaim the dignity of a million-year Soul Beast.
Huo Yuhao could only tell him to work hard.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, well, there is a lot of room for improvement.
Huo Yuhao's Soul Power reached a Bottleneck again after the Mirror Image Beast's sacrifice.
Level 30. He needed to find a Soul Ring again. What a bother.
The Ice Empress, however, seemed carefree, pulling the Snow Empress along to test the Soul skills with Huo Yuhao.
"Let's go, Xue'er. This Empress wants to see what Yuhao's Soul skills is."
The Snow Empress was meticulous and thought about deeper things.
In the Far North, with such a good environment, Huo Yuhao didn't test the Soul skillss he obtained. Is he this happy just because he got a fifty-thousand-year Soul skills now?
Of course, part of the reason was that this Soul skills was indeed very powerful, but could it also indicate that Huo Yuhao's relationship with them had grown closer, and he was no longer restraining or hiding himself?
Huo Yuhao was asking the Ice Empress to catch a Soul Beast, while the Snow Empress followed not far behind. If Huo Yuhao knew what the Snow Empress was thinking, he would have to admit she guessed correctly.
They had just met, and he had half-threatened the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress into becoming his Soul Spirits, so there was naturally some awkwardness, but after ten or so days of getting along, that awkwardness had mostly vanished.
Huo Yuhao was always sincere toward those he was close to.
Huo Yuhao did not want to judge someone based on the so-called "original work" in his memory; he would only trust what he personally felt.
For example, Teacher Mu Jin was a minor villain in the original work who was jealous of Zhou Yi, but in Huo Yuhao's eyes, she was a qualified teacher who treated her students very well.
Conversely, Zhou Yi had expelled too many promising students; she was not qualified to be a teacher.
