Huo Yuhao did not act rashly.
He knew that the three wolf apes possessed the teleportation soul skill, which was notoriously difficult to defend against.
Even in the original work, Huo Yuhao, who had the assistance of the Snow Empress soul, was ambushed during their first encounter. This forced Wang Qiu'er, who was at the Soul Emperor level, to fight one against three.
It's important to note that the three wolf apes are mutant soul beasts. Although each of them has only 10,000 years of cultivation, their combat power rivals that of ordinary 30,000-year soul beasts.
In other words, they possess the strength of three Soul Emperor. Moreover, these beasts cooperate exceptionally well, displaying remarkable intelligence. Not only do they have the rogue skill of space teleportation, but they also possess a martial soul fusion skill.
As a result, Huo Yuhao, who was a Soul King level in the original work, was overwhelmed. Of course, this was partly because Huo Yuhao had been injured while dealing with a evil Soul douluo, Zhongli Ren.
After finally scaring off Zhongli Ren, Huo Yuhao unexpectedly encountered the three wolf apes again. Later, due to carelessness, Huo Yuhao faced the three-in-one fusion skill of the wolf apes.
If it hadn't been for Qiu'er's selfless rescue and their martial soul fusion skill, Dragon Cry of Destiny, Huo Yuhao would have almost fought to the death.
Now, Huo Yuhao is alone, facing the three wolf apes. His cultivation is only at level 30, and he hasn't even attached his third soul ring yet. However, this doesn't matter. Huo Yuhao has created a small opening and is ahead in intelligence, ensuring his victory.
He had one moto in his mind right now: Respond to changes with the same attitude!
Seeing Huo Yuhao remain unmoved, the three wolf apes pounced on him. A strong purple-black light burst from each wolf ape, but it was completely useless! This weak attack couldn't harm Huo Yuhao at all.
At this moment, the Ice Empress' Armor, enhanced by the Strength Gu, shielded Huo Yuhao. Perhaps it's more accurate to call it the Ice Empress' protection right now.
Although maintaining this state consumes a significant amount of soul power, Huo Yuhao has the third-level Tianyuan Baolian Gu (Tianyuan Treasure Lotus Gu), which acts as a mobile fountain, continuously restoring his soul power.
As long as he doesn't use a skill that drains his soul power and mental power instantly, Huo Yuhao, who possesses the Strength Gu, is incredibly durable!
This is why he considers the Strength Gu, one of the more reliable output methods.
In the Spiritual Sea, Skydream, who is responsible for the alert mission, was feeling a little bored.
Before the battle, Huo Yuhao had only asked her to observe the surrounding situation and prevent other soul beasts from intruding, especially any notable spiritual soul beasts.
If Huo Yuhao encounters a situation he cannot handle, he plans to kill the opponent, take the soul bone as a guarantee, and escape. However, if the timing is right, he can wait for the perfect opportunity.
"Yuhao said to wait for a suitable opportunity, but when is it?" Skydream sat on an ice-shaped chair, her small and delicate jade feet swaying. She had no worries about the battle outside. Three ten-thousand-year soul beasts couldn't possibly threaten Yuhao now!
Skydream thought to herself: 'They are also a three-person team, three against three. The advantage is on our side!'
Although Huo Yuhao has been maintaining a defensive posture, it doesn't mean he's only defending and not attacking.
Using the Ice Empress Armor and the Ice Empress Claw simultaneously, Huo Yuhao, both offensive and defensive throws punch after punch, forcing the three wolf apes into danger. They can only rely on teleportation to dodge his attacks.
Until a certain moment.
After teleporting, the wolf apes finally cornered the "slightly clumsy" Huo Yuhao in the center. The three wolf apes, acting as one, each had a purple-black halo under their feet. Suddenly, the three halos expanded and overlapped, covering Huo Yuhao completely.
In an instant, Huo Yuhao felt as if his entire body was bound by a tremendous force. The soul power he was channeling froze, and an indescribable, terrifying pressure weighed down on him.
At this moment, the three wolf apes turned into an almost transparent purple-black color, and a powerful purple-black light mist surged wildly. The three intersecting purple-black circles on the ground shone brightly, completely immobilizing Huo Yuhao.
Skydream's slightly anxious voice sounded in his mind.
"Yuhao, be careful! These three soul beasts are not simple. They seem to be using a killing move similar to a martial soul fusion skill! This trinity is a geometric increase in power, and it might reach the level of a Soul Douluo!"
Huo Yuhao replied calmly in the Spiritual Sea, "Don't worry, Skydream. I've been waiting for this moment."
The Ice Empress's mocking voice chimed in at the right time, "Skydream, don't forget that this Empress is now in a state of possession. Everything is under control!"
Finally, the trinity—the three martial soul fusion skill—had arrived!
Huo Yuhao's lips curled into a smile. It was worth playing with the three wolf apes for so long, as they had finally decided to use their ultimate move.
Among martial soul fusion skills, there are generally two categories.
The first category involves multiple soul masters combining the complementary characteristics of their respective martial souls. Although this type of soul skill can be called a martial soul fusion skill, it's more of a sublimation of cooperation between soul masters.
The second type is the true martial soul fusion skill, like the one Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong share. Their martial souls fuse internally, causing a qualitative change in their strength.
In the records of Shrek Academy, there was once a trinity martial soul fusion skill—the Golden Iron Triangle, used by the founder of Shrek Academy, Four-eyed Cat Owl Flanders, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang. It was called the Golden Holy Dragon Summoning.
The Golden Holy Dragon, a light-attribute entity, is considered the sublimation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, as Yu Xiaogang is a descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
However, aside from these three, Shrek Academy has never seen another three-in-one martial soul fusion skill in its history.
This shows how rare and difficult it is to achieve such a three-party martial soul fusion skill. Yet, this legendary superpower has now appeared in the form of these three soul beasts.
The purple-black light on the ground rose, merging into a terrifying column of light that shot into the sky, completely engulfing Huo Yuhao.
In an instant, Huo Yuhao felt a terrifying squeezing force pressing inward on his body, as if trying to tear him apart completely.
"Ice Empress!" Huo Yuhao roared.
The extreme cold arrived.
"Northern Dark Ice Soul Domain + Perpetual Ice Domain!"
In an instant, a terrifying cold swept across a 100-meter radius centered on Huo Yuhao, and large patches of frost spread out. With the Ice Empress's assistance, even though the Three Wolf Ape was in a dominant state with their Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they had no power to resist and were frozen into ice sculptures.
"Third-level ice explosion Gu."
"Ice Explosion Technique!"
"Boom! Boom!"
In the violent explosion, countless ice shards flew, and the force of the blast sent all the solid ice within a hundred meters into the air. The power of this explosion was at least equivalent to the full-strength attack of an Ice Soul Saint.
If you can freeze, you can kill—this is the Ice Explosion Technique!
The Ice Empress, once the second-ranked entity in the Extreme North, commented, "If I could inherit the Ice Explosion Technique, the ranking of fierce beasts would have to change."
For the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, the Ice Explosion Technique is extremely rare. Even the Ice Empress, the Ice Jade Scorpion Empress, does not possess this skill as part of her natural abilities.
"I hope the soul bone is okay..." Huo Yuhao murmured anxiously.
