Douluo Dalu II: I, Huo Yuhao, join Sun Moon

Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 183: Return to the Extreme North

But Huo Yuhao was different.

Huo Yuhao was a peerless genius of the Douluo Continent, and as long as he lived, he would inevitably become the Strongest that no one could underestimate in the future.

Furthermore, Huo Yuhao usually had a good personality, so helping such a genius was a very rewarding endeavor.

Based on his understanding of Huo Yuhao, this person was not an ingrate, so as long as he helped the other party, he would inevitably receive a return in the future.

Even if the other party could not become his grandson-in-law, he and the Hongchen Family could still benefit from Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao took a step forward and said to Luan Feng: "The rare metals mined will naturally be used to build soul guidance devices for the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Legion.

After all, mining is no easy task, and the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Legion should be compensated."

The Sun-Moon Empire isn't short of rare metals in normal times, but their prices are relatively high.

However, during wartime, the situation is different.

In the original novel, after the Sun-Moon Empire launched a war that swept across the Douluo Continent, the empire's reserves of rare metals were insufficient.

Ju Zi even personally led a legion to the edge of the Extreme North to explore for minerals.

From Huo Yuhao's personal perspective, he temporarily did not particularly need those rare metals from the Far North; after all, given Kong Deming's Degree of importance, he had no shortage of rare metals.

Additionally, some members of the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Legion already have their spirit souls and have joined the Spirit Pagoda organization under Ju Zi's guidance.

Thus, it's very likely that the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Legion will become his force in the future, and he doesn't mind giving some benefits in advance.

A smile appeared on Luan Feng's face: "Huo Yuhao, our Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Legion will go all out to mine minerals once we arrive in the Extreme North."

The Extreme North

The cold wind is like a knife, snow is flying, and the sky and earth are white.

This place is rarely visited. Only the soul beasts in the Extreme North are accustomed to such icy, snowy environments.

Huo Yuhao, Jing Hongchen, and Luan Feng arrived at the edge of the Extreme North.

If someone looked down from the clouds, they would see three small black spots flying through the sky.

Huo Yuhao's clothes were extremely light, and he didn't even carry a special warm soul guidance device.

This is normal for him. With his Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, he has a strong ability to resist cold.

Even when hit by the cold wind and snow, he wouldn't feel the slightest chill.

At this moment, two powerful spirit souls within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea were somewhat pleased.

The Ice Empress murmured: "Finally, I've returned to the Extreme North."

"Yuhao, I want to see my people and deploy some arrangements," she continued. "I left in such a hurry last time that I didn't have time to select a successor."

As one of the three heavenly kings of the Extreme North, the Ice Empress is not only a powerful Ice Jade Scorpion Empress but also the leader of the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan.

She is preparing to become a deity with Huo Yuhao, so she naturally needs to choose a new leader for her clan.

"Okay, Bingdi. When I find the right time later, you can call out to the other Ice Jade Scorpions and do as you wish," Huo Yuhao said.

"Yes," she replied.

However, Snow Empress had a different opinion. She said, "Bing'er, I think we should gather all the soul beasts in the Extreme North.

Now that I am preparing to follow Yuhao to become a god, there's no turning back.

I've been the leader of the three heavenly kings of the Extreme North for many years. I must choose a new leader for the soul beasts in this region so they can better resist external invasions."

"Are you going to choose the Ice Bear King?" Ice Empress guessed.

Snow Empress sighed: "I can't choose that one. It has a very good relationship with me, and its strength isn't bad.

But its character is too honest—opposite of some cruel soul beasts.

So, I think the Ice Demon Titan King is a better choice.

The Ice Demon Titan King is much shrewder than Xiao Bai. It's also beneficial for the soul beasts if he becomes the king of the Extreme North."

After saying this, she was silent for a moment, then looked at Huo Yuhao's spirit body and said, "Yuhao, although I won't let Xiao Bai become king of the Extreme North, I want him to become your spirit soul."

Snow Empress's idea is simple: since Ice Bear King might not survive the next heavenly tribulation, it's better to let him participate in the god-making plan rather than perish under the tribulation.

"Okay," Huo Yuhao agreed. "I'll find a good time later, and let you, Snow Empress, call on the soul beast."

He had no reason to refuse a powerful soul beast like the Ice Bear King serving to become his spirit soul.

However, he planned to discuss with the Snow Empress about taming soul beasts later, hoping that the Extreme North could become one of the Spirit Pagoda's bases.

Nearby, Jing Hongchen looked at the thinly dressed Huo Yuhao with some envy.

Because he was now wearing warm clothes and carrying a warm soul guidance device to resist the severe cold.

Even as a Titled Douluo, he didn't want to experience the extreme cold of the Extreme North unprotected.

He was very strong, and the cold weather wouldn't freeze him to death, but he preferred not to take unnecessary risks.

Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped and looked at the icy, snowy ground below.

"Alright, this should be the place."

"We should explore the mineral resources here and dig for rare metals."

"According to a glimpse of the future I caught with my Eye of Destiny, I know that these minerals are all located in the northeast of the Extreme North, which is why I brought you in this direction."

"Right here?" Jing Hongchen led Huo Yuhao to the ground.

Luan Feng also descended to the ground.

Huo Yuhao landed on the ground, stepping on the icy surface, and he chanted a spell, opening the Undead Gate, and a chilling aura immediately permeated the air.

Members of the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Legion emerged from the gate. As soon as they appeared, they activated their warm soul guidance devices to dispel the cold.

Then they took out their exploration soul guidance devices and began searching for minerals.

Although the Sun-Moon Empire was rich in mineral resources, who wouldn't rejoice at discovering large quantities of rare metals?

Soon, the exploration soul guidance devices emitted sharp "beep, beep" sounds, indicating the presence of rare metals.

Since the exploration soul guidance devices had wide-ranging detection capabilities, the signals suggested many rare metals were present.

Many soul engineers began to cheer.

Even Luan Feng, the Ninth-Level Soul Engineer of the Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Legion, was excited: "Rare metals exist! Great! With these, the empire's strength can be raised to a new level."
