Chapter 173 is nothing more than a few trials and tribulations.
Ten days have passed since the Titan Snow Demon King's enthronement ceremony. During these ten days, Huo Yuhao also successfully completed the soul contract ritual with Xiaobai.
As expected of a ferocious beast with 300,000 years of cultivation, Xiao Bai not only bestowed upon Huo Yuhao two powerful soul skills, but also gifted him a precious 300,000-year-old right palm bone.
The soul skill contained in this right palm bone is called "Ice Extreme Tear," and its power is so great that even Huo Yuhao himself is shocked. He estimates that with his current strength, if he were to fully activate Ice Extreme Tear, it would be enough to tear apart the Titan Giant Ape's incredibly tough skin and flesh.
The terror of Ice Extreme Tear lies not only in its destructive power, but also in its perfect combination with Huo Yuhao's other soul skill—Ice Explosion Technique.
Combining these two soul skills, Huo Yuhao devised a tactic: first, he used Ice Tear to rip open his opponent's skin, injecting ice element into their body, followed immediately by Ice Blast. The power of this combination was simply indescribable. The destructive force of this combination technique was enough to terrify any opponent.
Besides Ice Ripple, the other soul skills Huo Yuhao acquired this time are also extremely powerful.
His fifth soul skill's first skill is called "Ice Soul Needle," which is a group attack skill.
When using this soul skill, Huo Yuhao can instantly release thousands upon thousands of ice needles. Under his precise control, these needles can pierce into the opponent's body without penetrating. Subsequently, if he uses Ice Explosion again, these ice needles will trigger a chain reaction within the opponent's body, causing devastating damage. This is simply a divine skill for group attacks; if used on the battlefield, it would be enough for one person to face an entire army.
The second soul skill is called "Ice Bear's Fury," which is an enhanced skill.
After using this soul skill, Huo Yuhao can increase all his attributes to an astonishing 200%. With his current strength, once his attributes reach this level, he can almost unleash the full power of a level 97 Super Douluo.
This also makes Ice Bear's Fury Huo Yuhao's most powerful soul skill so far, and it's also his killer move when facing powerful enemies.
Over the past ten days, Huo Yuhao has been constantly practicing and mastering these newly acquired soul skills, and his strength has been steadily improving.
However, although Huo Yuhao's soul skill is powerful, its duration is extremely limited, lasting only one minute.
Within that brief minute, he can unleash astonishing power, but once that time is over, he will fall into a state of extreme weakness.
Both the body and mind will suffer a great blow.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao must use this soul skill very cautiously, and he will only consider using this killer move when he is truly facing a critical moment of life and death.
It must be said that Huo Yuhao indeed gained a lot from this trip to the far north.
He not only accompanied the Snow Empress once again to the coronation ceremony of the Titan Snow Demon King, and spent a shameless night with her, but also Huo Yuhao, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er successfully formed contracts with powerful soul spirits.
However, Huo Yuhao's soul power level was once again stuck at the bottleneck of level 59. Moreover, this time, Huo Yuhao felt that the bottleneck was even more solid than before, and he simply could not break through the bottleneck of level 59.
Even after absorbing the terrifying soul power contained in a 300,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone in one go, his soul power level remained unchanged, unable to break through to the next level.
Huo Yuhao understood that this was another case of fate at work. He had never encountered such a difficult bottleneck problem in his previous life. After all, in his previous life, almost all the fate of the Douluo Continent was on his shoulders. But in this life, he had to compete with Tang San for fate.
Huo Yuhao estimated that some extraordinary measures would be needed to break through this bottleneck.
Therefore, he should head to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the four affiliated sects of the Clear Sky School as soon as possible. Huo Yuhao predicted that by controlling these forces in advance, he would definitely be able to influence Tang San's fortune and thus gain more advantages for himself.
After all, in his previous life, all these sects were Tang San's forces, especially the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which provided Tang San with a lot of help. If he could take control of these sects in advance, they would definitely plunder Tang San's luck once again.
Huo Yuhao naturally intended to treat the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with courtesy. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was Ning Rongrong's maternal family, and Ning Fengzhi was his future father-in-law. Moreover, Huo Yuhao believed that Ning Fengzhi was a smart man who knew what he should do.
However, Huo Yuhao didn't have a good attitude towards the four affiliated sects of the Clear Sky Sect. Huo Yuhao planned that after dealing with the affairs of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he would immediately lead the elders and elders of the Spirit Hall and lead a large army to directly attack the four affiliated sects.
He intended to give these sects a choice: those willing to submit would be protected and treated favorably; while those unwilling to obey would not hesitate to take strong measures to ensure the smooth implementation of his plan.
As for what kind of tough measures? The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan of the previous life is the best example. Those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish.
However, the thought of being able to enjoy a period of peace after dealing with all these complicated matters brought Huo Yuhao a sense of relief.
For him now, even having just a few days of leisure time is a rare kind of happiness.
Unconsciously, Huo Yuhao's thoughts drifted back to the hardships and difficulties he had overcome along the way. Looking back, the things that had happened were now vivid in his mind.
Every obstacle that once seemed insurmountable, every difficulty that once made him feel hopeless, has now been overcome by him.
What I thought would crush me was now just a bit of hardship.
Huo Yuhao was also afraid, until he lost all his support and had to face the challenges of the world alone.
That loneliness and helplessness made him deeply understand the pain of growing up. However, it was precisely these experiences that forged his indomitable will.
Huo Yuhao had also been lost and confused, until the person he loved most died in front of him. The pain of losing a loved one instantly brought him to his senses.
Even with his immense power, he could not bring back the lost lives.
Huo Yuhao had also cried, until he realized that this world did not believe in tears, but only in strength and bloodshed.
Later he understood that the throne of power cannot be won with tears, but must be earned with strength and determination. In this world, only the strong can stand at the top, while the weak are ruthlessly eliminated.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao was determined to eliminate many people who stood in his way in order to achieve his goal.
He did not intend to find any high-sounding reasons for himself, because he knew that history was always written by the victors.
In this cruel world, only the strong survive, and only the victors can write their own legends. He understood that the success of one general is built on the bones of countless others, and that the victor is king and the loser is villain—this was an inescapable reality.
What he has to do is become the strongest person standing at the top, no matter what price he has to pay!
