Douluo Dalu: Beginning with the Flame Emperor Template

**Chapter 8: Electrolux**

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm watched Huo Yuhao slowly put on his glasses. The small action felt more pretentious than he anticipated, and he suddenly couldn't do it himself. "Yuhao, as a million-year wisdom soul ring, do you know how rich my experience and knowledge are?"

"Experience? Do you mean the million-year experience package?"

Huo Yuhao chuckled. The experience package of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's level was indeed very substantial for those fierce beasts.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm felt that he was being underestimated and decided to save face. He looked at the ten huge golden and white light balls in the sea of spirit.

"Yuhao, do you see these ten light balls? I brought them to you. Do you feel shocked?"

"Yes, I see them. What's so mysterious about them?" Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm snorted proudly and stood up straight with a proud posture. "They will be very useful."

"In the entire Far North, no soul beast can possess such a huge source of energy. Now it falls on you, Yuhao; you are truly blessed."

Not only in the Far North; Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had originally wanted to take the Star Dou Great Forest as well, but suddenly remembered something, and his whole body trembled.

Once, when he was imprisoned, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm felt an aura that was superior to that of the Beast God Di Tian. In the deepest part of the sparkling Lake of Life, there was a dazzling silver light.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm calmed his racing thoughts, let out a long sigh, and a look of pride returned to his face.

"With these ten light balls, you have a built-in energy bank."

"As your cultivation level improves and your physique evolves, the source energy in these light balls can extend the age of your soul rings."

"If you can withstand the soul rings of ten-thousand-year soul beasts, then these source energies will elevate all soul rings below ten thousand years to the ten-thousand-year level."

Huo Yuhao nodded after hearing this. "This is indeed very useful."

In Douluo's cultivation system, martial souls rely on soul rings to improve their abilities, which is already inferior. The first ring for ordinary soul masters takes ten or a hundred years, but even as their cultivation level increases, the first ring still cannot be improved for the same duration—a quite twisted situation.

When Tianmeng Ice Silkworm saw that Huo Yuhao recognized the value of his gift, he unconsciously lifted his head and became arrogant.

"The total amount of essence that I sealed in your body is enough to support all ten of your spirit rings to reach the 100,000-year level!"

Then, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm boasted about the million-year soul ring and the four soul skills that he had provided to Huo Yuhao.

Especially the illusion-type soul skills, Spiritual Dreamweaving and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, were hyped even more.

It carried a bit of the sentiment of, "At the peak of soul skills, proud of the world; with this soul skill, you can achieve success in your dreams!"

After bragging for a while, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had already floated away. It didn't know what it was. It was like a vigorous pine tree in the sea of spirituality, standing tall and unwavering.

At this time, the ancient gray bead trembled slightly, and an old and majestic voice sounded, "Little bug!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was startled, thinking that he had angered the other party by complaining that "some bastards are trying to steal my people." He immediately lost his bravado and became cowardly.

"Yuhao, save me!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm quickly transformed into a pupa and landed at Huo Yuhao's feet.

"Hello, old man." Huo Yuhao bowed sincerely to the gray bead, not for anything else, but because the original Yi Lao had sacrificed so much for Huo Yuhao, even at the cost of his life, leaving behind a precious gift (necromancy magic) and igniting his spiritual consciousness to protect Yuhao and a group of souls, which earned his utmost respect.

Throughout the entire Tang Family Continent II, there is little to complain about regarding Alex's character. His methodical teaching of Huo Yuhao is truly deserving of the title of mentor, given his dedication and sacrifice.

"Grandpa, what should I call you?" Huo Yuhao asked politely.

The gray bead flickered. "Name? I have been asleep for far too long; even I can't remember how long it has been, but I was pulled to this plane by some sort of subconsciousness."

"Now only this remnant soul is left, but I am very happy to reside in your spiritual sea before I completely dissipate."

"In my vague memory, only two of the most famous names of my life are relatively clear: The Holy God of Death and the Scourge of the Dead…"

The gray bead trembled slightly, and the old voice paused, as if recalling something, trying to collect his scattered and fragmented memories.

Huo Yuhao stood quietly, and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm remained silent beside him, afraid to disturb the other party's memories.

After a while, the gray bead glowed slightly, and the old voice with a hint of realization sounded once again.

"Oh, I finally remembered my name. My name is Alex; you can just call me Old Yi."

Strands of gray mist emanated from the beads, barely condensing together to form a human shape.

Alex looked at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. "Little bug, I just heard you mention the soul skill of mental dream weaving, which has the effect of making people fall into dreams and subconsciously guide their actions…"

"Its essence is similar to my soul-controlling technique of undead attributes; both involve the control of other people's bodies and even souls. We cannot incite others to abuse this type of soul skill but use it reasonably."

"Oh, I understand, senior." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's mental power was suppressed, and he replied in a low voice.

The amount of spiritual power of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm could be said to be second to none in the Douluo Continent, but it has a fatal flaw: it has quantity but lacks quality.

He is not in the same league as Yi Lao at all.

Alex looked at Huo Yuhao and said sincerely, "Kid, you must remember that a righteous heart makes a righteous person. No matter what kind of power it is, it will only be used correctly in the hands of a virtuous person."

Then his voice grew low and weak.

"I am too tired, and I have very little strength left. I need time to gradually recover, and I will soon fall into a deep sleep again."

As the gray humanoid slowly dissipated, the beads above the sea of spirit dimmed, and Huo Yuhao bowed again.

"Don't worry, Master Yi. I will follow your instructions and use my abilities correctly."

Only after Alex fell into a deep sleep did Tianmeng Ice Silkworm relax its tense spirit.

Then, with a saddened expression, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm recounted an experience in which he accidentally fell into an ice cave while evading being hunted by natural enemies. He swallowed the cold marrow that had existed for ten thousand years and inexplicably turned into a ferocious beast while sleeping.

As he continued, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's expression became increasingly miserable as he detailed the story from the ice cave in the Far North to being imprisoned in the Star Dou Great Forest, and finally breaking through the boundary of million-year-old soul beasts and escaping successfully.

"Yuhao, after listening to my story, do you think my fate is quite tragic?"

"Just now, Senior Yi said that we can't abuse our abilities, but it's acceptable to give people a taste of their own medicine."

The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm has suffered for hundreds of thousands of years; it must be difficult for him to come to terms with this.

"Yuhao, when I help you cultivate to become the Ultimate Douluo among you humans, I will return and weave a dream of 'being imprisoned and devouring soul power for 100,000 years' for all the beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. That must be reasonable."
