Douluo Dalu: Beginning with the Flame Emperor Template

**Chapter 23: Fusion of Chilling Bone Flame, Level 20**

Electrolux is knowledgeable and has a high level of understanding of things. He quickly understood the reason: "Yuhao, the little bug provides you with a soulless ice attribute martial soul vacancy."

"In fact, it is equivalent to the original Origin Ice martial soul, which can absorb ice, attribute energy and evolve continuously. The cold air of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring is the key to opening the door to the evolution of the Origin Ice martial soul."

Although Electrolux had never seen the phenomenon of the fusion of flames in the previous plane, he could still guess the general principle with his excellent understanding ability.

"Original Ice Martial Soul... Ice Elemental Martial Soul..."

Huo Yuhao muttered to himself and pondered for a while, then asked, "Master Yi, is there any difference between the two?"

Electrolux explained slowly: "Ordinary ice elemental martial souls are not particularly pure; there will be some impurities in them."

"In other words, when the purity of ice reaches a certain standard, it can be called an ice elemental martial soul."

"And the Origin Ice Martial Soul, as Xiao Chongzi said, is pure, without a soul and without any impurities, which is equivalent to the original state of ice."

Huo Yuhao nodded slowly, understanding that the soulless Origin Ice, to put it nicely, is completely pure, but to put it bluntly, it is at the initial stage regarding both coldness level and freezing ability.

But there is no need to worry about this, as he can continue to evolve by absorbing the power of the Ice Emperor.

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and realized that the neighboring continent did not have any martial souls. In other words, the fusion of Heavenly Flame was absorbed by the body, while the evolution of the Origin Ice was absorbed by the martial soul.

Electrolux said gently, "Yuhao, just absorb the purple flame normally. Don't let the changes in the initial formation of the Origin Ice interfere with your absorption of the Purple Flame."

"If what I guessed is correct, when you fuse the Chilling Bone Flame later, the Origin Ice martial soul will also be affected by the extreme cold property of the Chilling Bone Flame."

"Well, I understand, Master Yi." Huo Yuhao nodded, calmed down, and concentrated on fusing the purple flame.

The purple flame entered from the center of his eyebrows, slowly moving downwards, splitting into several tiny strands of purple flame, which flowed into various meridians, filling his entire body with a slight burning sensation.

The Ice Spirit Cold Spring formed a thin layer of ice film inside and outside all the meridians to offset the heat brought by the purple flame.

With the help of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, he did not feel too much pain while fusing the Purple Flame.

After all, the Ice Spirit Cold Spring was originally used to assist in the fusion of Heavenly Flames, so it was not difficult to utilize it to fuse with Beast Flame. It easily allowed the purple flame to flow in an orderly manner throughout his body and operate according to a regular pattern.

After a while, several strands of Purple Flame that had scattered in various meridians gathered and condensed in his body, forming a purple seed-like small flame.

"Successful, the origin of the Purple Flame."

A hint of purple flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes as he used his mental power to look inside his body and saw that the origin of the Purple Flame was quietly hanging inside him, its Purple Flame energy connected to all the meridians in his body.

The Flame Mantra began to circulate within him, drawing the energy of the Purple Flame to flow through his body for a small cycle.

After Huo Yuhao completed a small cycle, he could clearly feel that the efficiency of the Flame Mantra had increased, indicating that the grade of the technique had improved.

After fusing with the Purple Flame, the Flame Mantra evolved from the lower yellow level to the middle yellow level.

Electrolux reminded him, "Yuhao, get ready. The fusion of Purple Flame was relatively smooth, but the quality of Chilling Bone Flame is higher than that of Purple Flame, and the difficulty is very different."

Then, a misty gray light appeared in front of Huo Yuhao's eyes, and Electrolux materialized as an old man in white, worry etched on his face.

"I will guard you from outside. After all, the Chilling Bone Flame possesses two contradictory properties—extreme cold and extreme heat. If a life-threatening accident occurs during the fusion, I will possess you and help you."

"Yuhao, you must understand that the pain of fusing the body with Heavenly Flame is much greater than the pain of fusing the spirit ring with the martial soul. Even the 400,000-year-old Ice Emperor, as mentioned by the little bug, cannot compare. You must maintain clarity during the process and guide the Heavenly Flame to flow and condense in your body."

Huo Yuhao pulled his collar to straighten it, and unprecedented determination flashed in his eyes. 

"Don't worry, Master Yi, I have already prepared myself mentally."

A white light flashed on the ring, and a wisp of white flames rushed out, immediately filling the surroundings with the breath of extreme cold and heat.

Huo Yuhao directly used most of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, then took the Ice Heart Pill. He slightly condensed his eyes and slowly drew the Chilling Bone Flame into his forehead.

The Chilling Bone Flame split into tiny strands of dark white flames, flowing downward into all the meridians and then into his limbs and bones.

The next moment brought an extreme burning heat and extreme cold, damaging the meridians throughout his body with the alternation of two completely different energies.

Huo Yuhao's entire body trembled, cold sweat pouring down his face; however, when the thought of not having yet created an illusion of "loving mother and filial son" for the Duchess and Dai Huabin crossed his mind, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

At the same time, the Seal of Life on Huo Yuhao's forehead activated. The halo, resembling green liquid, flowed quickly to his limbs and bones, repairing the meridians that had been burned by the Chilling Bone Flame.

The restorative effect of the Seal of Life made Huo Yuhao feel better. As the pain was reduced, the tiny white flames flowing in his meridians were immediately attracted and slowly condensed.

While Huo Yuhao fused with the Chilling Bone Flame, he was already contemplating... What kind of illusion should he fabricate for the Duchess and Dai Huabin to justify the pain he had endured today?

…

Electrolux looked at the illusionary light ball that Huo Yuhao had woven while fusing the Heavenly Flame.

"I didn't expect that Yuhao, at such a young age, has such a strong mind. He persists merely by thinking of weaving some illusions of loving mothers and filial sons. This shouldn't be considered as being blinded by hatred… It shouldn't be blinded…"

Electrolux's tone reflected relief. In his opinion, Huo Yuhao was quite clear-headed just then.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to form a rough idea of ​​the illusion of a loving mother and a filial son during the fusion process of the Chilling Bone Flame.

"Did Yuhao succeed?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked anxiously when he saw Electrolux's expression relax.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes; a dark white light flashed in his pupils as he calmly placed the woven light ball into his sea of ​​spirituality.

"Yes, it succeeded."

He used his mental power to look inside his body again. The dark white flame of the Chilling Bone Flame and the Purple Flame of the Beast Flame were both quietly residing in the space opened up by the Naling.

Chi!

Huo Yuhao opened his right hand, and a cluster of white flames emerged from his palm, quickly enveloping his entire hand.

Just as he was about to activate the Flame Mantra, he was suddenly stunned.

"What's wrong, Yuhao?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked instinctively.

"I have broken through level 20."
