As time in the human world increased, Gu Yue Na finally understood why so many soul beasts chose to reincarnate as humans after reaching the hundred-thousand-year mark.
She also gradually understood what Huo Yuhao had written in his diary: when soul beasts and humans could become the most trustworthy companions, the soul beasts' growth rate would also experience a significant boost.
It took nearly ten thousand years for a soul beast to possess the same level of intelligence as a human child. Before that, they were essentially like wild beasts, with nothing beyond survival instincts.
But if they could become mutually trusting and dependent companions with humans, their intelligence would rapidly increase through observation and interaction. This would greatly shorten the time needed for a soul beast to grow.
"I hope you won't disappoint me, Huo Yuhao."
Gu Yue Na looked at Huo Yuhao, who was absorbing the soul bone Xue Di had left behind, and couldn't help but sigh.
Suddenly, as if she had just remembered something, Gu Yue Na turned her gaze to Xue Di, who was currently undergoing a form transformation beside her.
Looking at Xue Di's long, flowing, pure white hair that swayed gently in the breeze, Gu Yue Na's brow furrowed slightly.
Why does this spectacle seem less interesting now?
When soul beasts take human form, they usually transform to resemble their original appearance, with the same features and looks as their soul beast form, unless there's a special circumstance.
With Xue Di's Heavenly Snow Woman appearance, her beauty was absolutely stunning, but that wasn't the problem.
Gu Yue Na wasn't boasting, but in terms of looks, no one on the entire Douluo Continent could compare to her!
But!
Xue Di was also that guy Huo Yuhao's type, with the white hair!
There were already enough women around Huo Yuhao at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, and now there was another strong competitor, Xue Di.
Gu Yue Na felt that, with her luck, it would probably take even longer to get a reward from the diary copy that could completely heal her injuries!
"Why does it feel like the difficulty is getting higher and higher? Damn it! This is so annoying!"
Gu Yue Na's good mood vanished, replaced by a sullen expression. Nothing could make her happy.
Under these circumstances, Xue Di was the first to successfully transform. Her appearance hadn't changed much from before, but now she looked to be the same age as Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na. The aloof, mature aura was gone, replaced by the appearance of a cute little loli with white hair and blue eyes. \n\n Seeing Xue Di's current form, Gu Yue Na knew what she was up to. It was all so she could be in the same class as Huo Yuhao at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, allowing them to spend more time together each day, and increasing the chances of being mentioned in his diary.
After completing her transformation, Xue Di noticed Gu Yue Na's unusual mood and asked with a sweet smile, "Is something wrong?"
You have the nerve to ask me what's wrong?
Gu Yue Na felt terrible and waved her hand irritably. "Nothing."
Knowing full well the reason for Gu Yue Na's change in attitude, Xue Di didn't pay it any mind. Instead, she turned her gaze back to Huo Yuhao, waiting for him to finish fusing the soul bone.
From the moment Xue Di decided to take human form, she had already considered how she would approach Huo Yuhao.
Her previous icy demeanor that kept everyone at arm's length was absolutely unsuitable. Such an approach would ensure that she would never receive the rewards from the diary副本.
Although Xue Di had never interacted with Huo Yuhao before, just by looking at the diary entries from the past three months, as well as the list of winners displayed every day, she knew that only by interacting and communicating with Huo Yuhao would she have a chance to receive rewards, and even then, the difficulty was extremely high.
After all, this Huo Yuhao was carrying the hopes of the Plane Will of Douluo Continent. He only wanted to focus on his career, quickly improve his strength, and allow Douluo Continent to permanently get rid of the suppression from the Divine Realm.
Even if Huo Yuhao occasionally uploaded photos of those girls to the diary, his beliefs had never wavered.
'Since I've already taken human form, I'll completely set aside the pride of being Xue Di, one of the Ten Great Beasts, and embrace a new persona to fully experience what the real human world is like!'
While Xue Di was determined to make this change, Huo Yuhao's actions to fuse the soul bone had also reached their end.
After completely fusing the soul bone, Huo Yuhao felt that his strength had increased once again because he had made Bing Di his soul spirit and also fused the soul bone she left behind.
He currently appeared to be just a 'perfectly ordinary' Soul Ancestor with four rings, and even he didn't know what his true soul power level was.
The fusion of the soul bone had just finished when Bing Di in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness started clamoring.
"Yuhao, Yuhao! Let me out quickly. Although Xue Di and I had a bit of a conflict because of you, since I've become your soul spirit and will soon be leaving the Extreme North Region with you, I have to say goodbye to Xue Di properly, no matter what."
As she spoke, Bing Di's appearance rapidly changed.
From the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, she quickly transformed into a girl with fair, delicate skin and dark green hair styled into twin ponytails that swayed on either side. She had lost some of her former Ice Emperor pride and instead possessed the lively, adorable arrogance of a human girl.
Hearing Bing Di's words, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes.
However, upon seeing Gu Yue Na and Xue Di standing side by side, Huo Yuhao's expression immediately became very strange.
After a dry cough, he replied to the little lolita Bing Di in his Sea of Consciousness.
"Um, I don't think you'll need to say goodbye to Xue Di."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Bing Di tilted her head, a huge question mark written on her small forehead.
But just then, she sensed Huo Yuhao had released the restrictions on her sea of consciousness, allowing her to leave. Bing Di didn't hesitate at all and immediately rushed out.
Seeing a green-haired, twin-tailed loli suddenly appear beside Huo Yuhao, Gu Yue Na and Xue Di both realized it was Bing Di. This couldn't help but make them sigh inwardly; the soul spirit method was truly powerful!
Bing Di had originally intended to say goodbye to Xue Di, as she had mentioned. After this separation, they wouldn't know how long it would be before they could meet again.
However, what met her eyes was Xue Di, who had already successfully taken human form.
"Xue Di, what are you doing?"
Xue Di smiled at Bing Di.
"I choose to take human form. Are you here to say goodbye to me? I don't think that's necessary."
"Since we received the Ice God's guidance, Yuhao can change the fate of us soul beasts in the Extreme North Region. You've also become Yuhao's soul spirit, so of course, I can't just sit around. I will work hard with you all for this."
Bing Di was dumbfounded, staring blankly at Xue Di, completely at a loss for words.
Although Bing Di usually charged headfirst and rarely thought things through, seeing Xue Di, who had successfully taken human form, she realized that she might have been tricked.
Looking at Bing Di, who was still standing there, Xue Di smiled softly and said,
"Bing'er, don't call me Snow Emperor anymore. Now that I've successfully taken human form and am about to enter the human world with Yuhao, I certainly can't reveal my identity."
