"Sinking Silver: A metal condensed after countless hammerings, tough and easily shaped..."
Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised by the newly unlocked ability. Sitting behind the clinic counter, he began to ponder this branch ability of the [Understanding] authority.
This ability, called Record, seemed to have recorded all the martial souls and materials he had seen.
All beast martial souls were recorded in the catalog as soul beasts, while weapon martial souls were more interesting.
"The Sea of Human Unconsciousness..."
The information revealed in the catalog is crucial. Beast Martial Souls are a direct manifestation of bloodline, while Weapon Martial Souls are actually a processing of collective concepts!
Moreover, this time, the [Understanding] Authority didn't keep him in suspense; the moment the recording ability appeared, it informed him that the next stage was 20%.
After reaching 20%, the next branch ability of the [Understanding] Authority—Reproduction—would be unlocked.
In addition, Huo Yuhao noticed the word "Furnace" in the lower right corner of the catalog.
After touching the furnace with his mind, a series of information appeared in Huo Yuhao's brain.
"When the [Understanding] Authority reaches 10%, different Martial Souls or materials in the catalog can be combined and forged."
"The information after fusion and forging can be transmitted to the Martial Soul carrier through mental power."
Huo Yuhao was immediately astonished, his eyes widening.
"This means that after the [Understanding] Authority reaches 10%, I can create my own Martial Soul?!"
"Great, great, no more acting."
"But what is a Martial Soul carrier?"
This Martial Soul carrier is very interesting. The only thing Huo Yuhao can think of that can carry a Martial Soul is the human body itself.
Filled with doubt, Huo Yuhao clicked on "Special Information (Part Two)."
"The gene that holds the secrets of a Martial Soul is located on chromosome eight. The gene extracts information, the bloodline makes it powerful, and the spirit gives it possibility."
"If there were something that could carry Martial Soul information and possess extremely strong diffusion and replication capabilities, perhaps it would be possible to graft the information onto the chromosome."
"In the far north, there is a Soul Beast called the Ice Demon Worm. It kills its prey by injecting a virus into it. The virus grafts genetic material onto specific DNA within the target's body, then tears apart its genes."
"The Ice Demon Worm itself is unaffected."
"Ice Demon Worm…"
Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and silently recited the name. He had seen this Soul Beast in "One Hundred Ways a Soul Master Can Die. "
It was a nightmare for the northern cities of the Heavenly Soul Empire, capable of stopping children's nighttime crying.
It was also the most feared Soul Beast by Soul Masters who ventured into the far north to hunt Soul Rings.

According to the book, once bitten by the Ice Demon Worm, the Martial Soul will instantly lose contact with the Soul Master, and even the Soul Rings cannot be released. The Soul Master
can only barely sustain life with Soul Power, and once the Soul Power is exhausted, the Soul Master will die from systemic ulceration.
Physicians in Dragon City of the Heavenly Soul Empire gathered a large number of healing Soul Masters to study this worm for several years, including some at the Title Douluo level.
However, the result was that a complete cure was impossible. Even with the intervention of Title Douluo-level healing Soul Masters, they could only barely prolong life, leaving the Martial Soul riddled with holes.
Although it is an ice-attribute Soul Beast, it is still known as the most poisonous creature in the far north. Fortunately, this worm has a small range, living only in the southeast of the far north, and is extremely afraid of fire, giving Soul Masters several ways to counter it.
"The Ice Demon Worm's poison is actually a virus!"
"It causes the Martial Soul to lose contact; it seems the virus targets chromosome eight."
"Based on the special information, this virus should be able to serve as a Martial Soul carrier."
"The far north is truly a treasure trove!"
Huo Yuhao realized that he had to make a trip to the far north.
Whether it's the Ice Emperor, the Snow Emperor who's currently transforming into human form, or the Ice Demon Worm, each is an opportunity that shouldn't be missed.
Huo Yuhao rubbed his forehead, suddenly remembering that killing Yu Hongzhi seemed to have given him a chance to draw a prize.
However, killing Chen Wen hadn't given him one, probably because he lacked soul power. Without soul power, his spirit was mediocre, essentially undeveloped, hence the lack of a chance to draw.
"Alright, draw now!"
Huo Yuhao was now extremely excited about the lottery; the previous draws had all yielded useful items.
A familiar golden light flashed before his eyes, and the name of an item began to appear amidst the shimmering light.
"Sister Yu's Photo Album: Pretty cool, bro! After seeing this, all your romantic fantasies will leave your brain, and you'll become a ruthless cultivation machine."
Huo Yuhao immediately put on a mask of pain; he hoped to single-mindedly and frantically improve his cultivation.
But Sister Yu's photo album was still too advanced; even swimsuit Chiyo could be enjoyed.
Sister Yu's photo album… was still too cool.
Looking at the unsettling cover of the magazine in his hand, Huo Yuhao felt that its mental impact was far stronger than Yu Hongzhi's soul skill.
Coincidentally, Jiang Nannan just happened to walk over.
"Master Huo, it seems we've run out of Soul-Separating Grass here. Should I go buy some?"
Huo Yuhao hurriedly put the magazine back into his storage soul tool. Jiang Nannan looked at the flustered Huo Yuhao with confusion.
"Master?"
"Ahem, it's nothing. I almost ruined my reputation."
Huo Yuhao straightened his expression and looked at Jiang Nannan, saying,
"Nannan, come here for a moment, I have something for you."
Jiang Nannan obediently walked over, and then saw Huo Yuhao hand her a necklace.
"This is a storage soul tool I obtained by chance, with thirty-six cubic meters of space inside."
"I've stored some medical books, a manual on mental cultivation, a modified meditation method, and some pills to restore soul power and heals injuries inside."
"I'm practically your teacher, so consider this a gift."
Jiang Nannan accepted the soul tool, not particularly happy, knowing it was a parting present.
