Chapter 155

Shui Bing'er's body showed two purple, four black, and three red nine soul rings slowly appearing; her soul power amplified her voice as she said: "Today I have broken through to rank ninety, Title Ice Phoenix Douluo; in the future I will join hands with my husband to jointly protect the sect."

Yang Poxue and others here led the team, shouting loudly: "Greetings to the sect leader's wife, greetings to Ice Phoenix Douluo, Your Excellency!"

"Greetings to the sect leader's wife, greetings to Ice Phoenix Douluo, Your Excellency!"

"Greetings to the sect leader's wife, greetings to Ice Phoenix Douluo, Your Excellency!"

"Greetings to the sect leader's wife, greetings to Ice Phoenix Douluo, Your Excellency!"

Shui Bing'er then lightly raised her right hand, using soul power to act upon the bodies of sect members at Soul Sage level and above, saying: "No need for formalities; everyone, attend to your duties."

Yang Yun then put his left arm around Ye Lingling, his right arm around Shui Bing'er's waist, and descended to the sect leader's manor.

Below.

Feng Xiaotian watched as Shui Bing'er had already grown to the Title Douluo realm, and his heart was stirred with huge waves; during this period, with the help of feeding the child fire and the Refining Heart Tower, his level could be said to have undergone a qualitative leap.

Even after slaying a ten-thousand-year mutant three-headed wind demon wolf and absorbing its soul ring for his fifth soul ring, his originally mutant martial soul faintly showed a tendency to evolve toward greater strength.

His strengthened physique, tempered soul power, and the martial soul's renewed mutation gave Feng Xiaotian a different confidence and a gradually swelling ambition.

He wanted to enter the inner hall to obtain more cultivation resources, become stronger; and stand firm in the Breaking Heaven Sect, where everyone is as outstanding as dragons and phoenixes.

As a result, when he looked up, he saw that his contemporary Shui Bing'er had actually broken through to the Title Douluo level, and even the last three of her soul rings were all hundred-thousand-year ones.

The gap had widened to almost being like two different worlds.

Even though initially they differed by more than twenty ranks, it had never given Feng Xiaotian such a sense of disparity.

"Who exactly is the sect leader? Moreover, there are thousand-year first and second rings, ten-thousand-year third and fourth rings; just what great benefit has Shui Bing'er received to undergo such a tremendous change?"

Feng Xiaotian silently thought to himself, his gradually swelling heart was ruthlessly suppressed.

All the soul masters of the same period who shared the same thought saw that Soul Sage-level Shui Bing'er, in such a short time of less than a year, had obtained such an exaggerated leap.

The gradually swelling heart began to calm.

The fire seed that had been nurtured inside his body for many days gradually released a stronger tempering effect.

In fact, whether the tempering effect of the fire seed can be maximized depends on one's state of mind, or perhaps on comprehension; an agitated mind can at most obtain the fire seed's general effect, or put another way, the fire seed can reach only its average effectiveness.

Only with a stronger heart can the child fire and fire seed exert an effect greater than the average, thereby strengthening the soul master himself.

Inner hall.

Walking toward them was Yang Wulong.

"Sect leader!"

Yang Yun nodded and said: "Uncle Long, hasn't anything worth noting happened in the sect lately?"

Yang Wulong shook his head with a full-face smile: "No, no, our Breaking Heaven Sect's prestige has been gradually rising across the whole continent; the number of soul masters coming to seek refuge and join us is also increasing day by day."

"Even many members of the elite tournament of the continent's advanced soul master academies have come for trials, but only a few can stay; more often, other forces come to probe our sect's secrets."

Yang Yun clenched one hand on his arm; although the movement was slight, he still felt it.

He then said: "Uncle Long, you've worked hard guarding here; Lingling has already broken through to the Soul Emperor realm, and the cold fresh little rabbit inside is time to take out to nourish my second lady's body."

Yang Wulong gave a slight bow and said: "Sect leader, I'll take my leave; call me if you need anything."

As he spoke, he vanished from the spot. The three quickly entered the secret chamber; the chains inside automatically fell off when Yang Yun walked down; the ice-sealed Xiao Wu remained exactly as she had been when she left.

No change at all.

Shui Bing'er waved her hand and moved all the ice blocks off Xiao Wu's body.

Before the ice sculpture of Xiao Wu could collapse into fragments, several vines sprouted from Ye Lingling's body, turning into sharp blades that pierced Xiao Wu's heart and brain.

Immediately after, the Nine Heart Sea Check martial soul possessed her.

Of course, doing this was not to heal Xiao Wu, but to absorb the hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone before her into her own body.

The left leg bone of the hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Alluring Rabbit and the hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit soul ring.

After a moment, Ye Lingling rose, a hint of pink flashing in her eyes; then she vanished.

Ye Lingling looked somewhat surprised at her left leg bone area and said: "Husband, there's something I think I need to tell you; Xiao Wu's soul resides in the soul bone, but it seems to have lost its memory."

"Her soul body, when I absorbed the soul bone, actively flew in and merged into the soul bone; it looks as if her brain was frozen and damaged?"

Yang Yun raised his eyebrows, the external soul bone attached to his eyes opened, and his mental power penetrated into the soul bone.

Xiao Wu's soul appeared pure and flawless, with no sense of having been tampered with, and her eyes were exceptionally clear; like a child's.

The soul body also showed nothing amiss.

"Any word from the Life Goddess?" Yang Yun asked.

Ye Lingling shook her head.

"The Life Goddess had no reaction; merely, my Life Nine Trials passed the first trial; the reward was divine power affinity, three ranks of soul power, and a soul ring with a three-thousand-year limit."

"I feel that after a few more months of cultivation I can go out to hunt for my sixth soul ring, and I am no longer a combat-weak auxiliary soul master."

"The soul ring gave me invincible golden body and teleportation, two soul ring abilities; the soul bone ability moves with the wind, increasing bodily flexibility to dodge attacks; the second soul bone skill, Eight-Stage Throw, has a complementary effect; without the wind-moving ability, the flexibility required for Eight-Stage Handsome might be beyond my own capability."

Shui Bing'er sincerely congratulated: "Great, Lingling! This way you not only possess strong defensive power to protect yourself; you also have a counterforce against enemies who try every means to get close; Xiao Wu's Eight-Stage Handsome power is still quite good."

Yang Yun rubbed his chin, "If Xiao Wu's soul poses no threat, let it stay; perhaps later it could have a soul spirit effect, providing some corroboration from the side."

"At worst, the Life Goddess will back us up; this Xiao Wu's soul won't stir up any trouble."

"Just now, when Xiao Wu's soul saw herself, her eyes showed a hint of different emotion; if she were to regain her memories later."

"That would be interesting; Yang Yun wouldn't mind killing her a second time."

"Cruel?" "Cruel."

"But being merciful to her will become a potential future threat of cruelty toward oneself."

"As for him, what he dislikes most are threats; especially the potential threats he himself has planted."

Shui Bing'er, a ninety-three Title Douluo; although her soul power increased greatly in a short time, this also means her bodily strength has great room for improvement.

"Before she raises her physical strength, Shui Bing'er will not add another soul ring to her second martial soul; moreover, the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor still have much for her to learn regarding the use of ice."

"Especially before the Ice God's inheritance has been fully passed down, laying a solid foundation is very necessary."
