"Brother Tianmeng, stop calculating for now, I have a question for you."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was trying to calm his racing thoughts after seeing the outrageous title "Giant Mountain Super Power Overlord."
He was currently working on the Magic Network program, and through his collaboration with Electrolux, the code was 70% complete.
It was expected that the prototype of the Magic Network would be fully completed next month, and it would definitely be usable.
After that, once Roman's foundation arrived, the grand plan to build the Dream God Kingdom would have taken its first step.
Hearing the familiar voice, Tianmeng removed his hood and looked up at the sky above the Sea of Spirit, asking,
"What's wrong, Yuhao?"
Huo Yuhao's voice quickly echoed across this star-like Sea of Spirit.
"Brother Tianmeng, how exactly can the Ice and Snow Maiden martial soul appear in a human under natural circumstances?"
Tianmeng scratched his head and said, "Natural circumstances?"
"The Snow Emperor transforming, of course."
"What else can it be? Such beings, nurtured by heaven and earth, are extremely noble and cannot become human martial souls."
"Unless we use technology and ruthless methods to forcibly construct an Ice and Snow Maiden martial soul, I can't imagine under what circumstances a natural person could awaken the Ice and Snow Maiden."
"You know, the Ice and Snow Maiden is the ultimate ice and snow, even surpassing the Ice Emperor in ice attribute. How could a normal human possibly withstand such an attribute?"
Huo Yuhao sighed in his spiritual sea, his ethereal voice echoing in the starlight:
"Too young, Brother Tianmeng."
"Use my spiritual power to look at the girl next to me."
"Brother Tianmeng, you still need to practice more!"
These words left Tianmeng Ice Silkworm as bewildered as Louis XVI. After receiving permission, he used Huo Yuhao's spiritual power to probe the stunningly beautiful girl next to him.
"Let me see what's going on?"
At first, Tianmeng Bingcan was still nonchalantly crossing his arms, then his body trembled and he lowered his hands.
"Hiss~ I need to stand up and see this."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm suddenly stood on the back of the golden tortoiseshell, then looked completely bewildered.
Clearly, the young silkworm was deeply shocked.
"Outrageous."
His lips moved incessantly before he finally uttered those two words.
"Wait a minute?"
"Martial Soul Studies no longer exist!"
"How could a Martial Soul appear on a human?!" "
There's only ever been one Ice and Snow Maiden! How could the Snow Empress have left behind any bloodline?!"
"If there were, the other two of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North would have already attacked!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm calmed down for a moment, but he couldn't find a reasonable explanation for this phenomenon. He could only sigh and say,
"Existence is its own justification."
"You're right, I'm still too young."
"There are truly countless geniuses in this world!"
Seeing that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm couldn't offer a reasonable explanation for the girl's Martial Soul, Huo Yuhao simply gave up.
It was probably a bug in the world designed by that great being.
Because of their powerful mental strength, Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm thought very quickly. Although they had been conversing for a long time in their mental sea, only a few seconds had passed in the outside world.
Under the girl's surprised gaze, Huo Yuhao tore off the mission information sheet and then pointed to the sofa in the rest area.
"I'm interested in this mission too."
"How about we talk over there?"
The girl nodded and followed Huo Yuhao to the rest area of the mission hall. It was quite noisy there, filled with the sounds of arguing and boasting.
The chaotic noise easily disrupted his thoughts, and Huo Yuhao didn't like this bar-like environment.
He used his mental energy to create a soundproof wall around them.
The girl's icy blue, snowflake-like eyes widened slightly. She had also diligently cultivated her mental energy and naturally knew how difficult this was.
She probably needed another ten years of practice to construct a soundproof wall purely with her mental energy, without mixing in soul power.
Huo Yuhao casually sat down on the sofa, placed the mission information sheet on the table, and said:
"Let me introduce myself first."
"My name is Huo Qiqiang."
The girl sat opposite Huo Yuhao, her legs together, hidden under her blue and white dress, her posture much more elegant.
After hesitating for a moment, her clear and sharp voice reached Huo Yuhao's ears.
"Su Tong."
Huo Yuhao leaned back strategically, not expecting the girl to be so honest, giving her her real name while traveling alone! She seemed like an honest person.
I'm playing mind games with you, and you're all in cahoots with me.
"Alright, now that we've exchanged names, I'll get straight to the point, Miss Su Tong."
"This mission involves one of my targets."
"I need more information from the Adventurers' Guild."
Su Tong's fingers gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, her icy eyes fixed intently on Huo Yuhao.
"I promised the victim's family I'd help them find the killer."
Huo Yuhao's lips curled slightly, his gaze unabashedly scrutinizing her.
"I didn't expect you to be such a kind-hearted person."
"You're just a Soul King. I can tell you definitively that this mission might involve high-level Soul Masters."
As the possessor of the Ice and Snow Maiden Martial Soul, she possessed innate pride and naturally wouldn't fear the unknown or danger.
Or rather, few people's character aligns with their Martial Soul.
Su Tong maintained direct eye contact with Huo Yuhao, her eyes revealing a serious and determined expression.
Huo Yuhao smiled and said to her,
"Since you insist, we can investigate together."
"There's no limit to the number of people, so two people working together shouldn't be a problem."
Su Tong thought for a moment and finally nodded. She didn't mind working with others; it would be good to have someone to look after each other, especially since Huo Yuhao was clearly a strong individual.
After reaching an agreement, the two got up and went to the front desk of the mission hall, handing over their mission list and adventurer's seal to the staff.
After confirming that their strength met the mission requirements, the staff immediately went to the archives on the first floor and handed them a more detailed document.
"Adventurers, the detailed information about the missing persons case is here."
"This was copied from the City Lord's Mansion; all the details are in it."
Huo Yuhao took the mission information, exchanged a glance with Su Tong, understood each other's thoughts, and led her away from the Adventurers' Association.
In the biting north wind, Huo Yuhao gently pulled his black trench coat up to prevent heat loss.
He exhaled a puff of white mist and said to the girl next to him, who was still wearing a skirt despite the weather
, "Want to get something to eat first? This place is freezing!"
"I'll treat you to KFC."
"Hamburgers and fried chicken are so delicious!"
Su Tong suddenly felt that the person next to her was a bit unreliable. Her delicate face drooped, and she turned to look at him, saying,
"I think we should find a place to look at the details of the missing persons case first."
Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said,
"How can we investigate a missing persons case if we don't eat our fill?"
In fact, Huo Yuhao had already used his mental power to read the case details in the file.
It seemed to have a lot of details, but none of them were useful. They couldn't be connected at all, and much of the information was misleading.
In Huo Yuhao's opinion, relying on this to solve the case was less effective than hoping that the murderer would confess.
In the end, he would still have to use his extraordinary wisdom to solve the case.
This was a fantasy world; who still played the Detective Conan game? Huo Yuhao's main purpose in obtaining this file was to find the approximate area where the murderer appeared.
Then, they directly used their mental power to conduct a brute-force probe in that area. If the Spirit Abyss Realm wasn't enough, there were Spirit Domain Realm cultivators; if that still wasn't enough, there were Divine Origin Realm cultivators as well.
