Xu Tianhao returned to Haoyu Palace and went straight to the secret room.
Before long, two figures hurriedly entered the secret room.
Walking in front was Meng Hongchen; today she wore a long red dress, her figure graceful and her face beautiful.
But at this moment, a faint blush touched her cheeks, and her eyes held a hint of shyness and excitement.
Her gaze toward Xu Tianhao was exceptionally fervent.
Following behind her was Nana, dressed in a long light-purple dress, her temperament gentle and her expression tranquil.
Yet, within her gaze toward Xu Tianhao, a trace of expectation was also hidden.
Ever since Xu Tianhao took the initiative to clarify his feelings, Meng Hongchen felt as if a pebble had been tossed into her heart, sending out ripples.
She had always been proud, believing her appearance and talent were second to none.
But in front of Xu Tianhao, she always felt like an innocent young girl, her heartbeat accelerating uncontrollably.
If Nana hadn't been there, she likely wouldn't have been able to resist throwing herself into Xu Tianhao's arms and nestling beside him.
Xu Tianhao took in all their small movements, a helpless yet doting smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
He walked over to the jade table and sat down, gesturing for the two of them to sit as well: "I've called you here privately today because there's something important to do. Consider it a special Opportunity for you both."
"A special Opportunity?" Meng Hongchen's eyes lit up, and she immediately leaned forward, her bright eyes fixed intently on Xu Tianhao.
"Tianhao, what kind of Opportunity? Tell us quickly, is it a Spirit Bone?"
Some time ago, Xu Tianhao had brought back three ten-thousand-year Spirit Bones, giving them to Long Aotian, Xiao Hongchen, and Nana respectively.
Now, in the entire team, only she and Ye Guyi were left without a Spirit Bone.
As a Spirit Master, the importance of a Spirit Bone went without saying; naturally, she had been longing for one.
Nana also sat to the side, her eyes filled with expectation as she quietly waited for Xu Tianhao's answer.
Xu Tianhao shook his head, picked up a white jade cup from the table, poured himself some warm water, and said slowly: "There is no Spirit Bone."
"However, what I'm giving you is more precious and rarer than a Spirit Bone."
"More precious than a Spirit Bone?" Meng Hongchen and Nana were both stunned, the expectation in their eyes intensifying.
They knew Xu Tianhao's experiences like the back of their hands.
Powerful spirit rings, rare Spirit Bones, and now the power of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Electrolux.
They had long been envious of everything Xu Tianhao possessed; now that he said he would give them something even more precious, how could they not look forward to it?
Meng Hongchen pulled on Xu Tianhao's arm, shaking it gently with a coquettish tone:
"Oh, Tianhao, stop keeping us in suspense. Just tell us what it is, okay?"
Xu Tianhao felt the soft touch on his arm, and his heart stirred slightly, yet he remained composed.
He gently patted the back of Meng Hongchen's hand and said slowly: "As you both know, after I underwent Fusion with the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, its Origin power merged into my body."
"But besides that, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also left behind a strand of pure ice-attribute Origin power comparable to Ultimate Ice."
He paused, his gaze falling on Meng Hongchen. "Meng, your Spirit is the Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad. Although it has dual ice and fire attributes, your body is unfortunately plagued by fire poison."
"This not only limits the growth of your strength but also subjects you to the torment of the fire poison as your power increases."
"I'm thinking of having you discard the fire poison in your body and absorb this ice-attribute Origin power. What do you think?"
Meng Hongchen's eyes snapped wide open, the blush on her face instantly fading, replaced by unbelievable shock:
"Absorb ice-attribute Origin power? Discard the fire poison? Tianhao, are you serious?"
Her ice and fire toxins were originally her greatest reliance, but the presence of the fire poison was like a shackle, trapping her firmly.
She had tried to rid herself of the fire poison's trouble, but whether it was famous doctors or various rare treasures, they could only suppress it and never completely eradicate it.
And now Xu Tianhao was saying he could make her discard the fire poison?
"Of course it's true." Xu Tianhao nodded and continued:
"After you absorb this ice-attribute Origin power, not only will you be able to completely escape the fire poison's torment, but you'll also be able to thoroughly purify your ice attribute."
"I am ninety-eight percent certain I can make you the first Ultimate Attribute Spirit Master in the history of the Sun Moon Empire. At that time, your strength will undergo a qualitative leap."
Nana listened from the side, dumbfounded, her eyes full of shock: "Ultimate Attribute?!"
In the Spirit Master's world, Ultimate Attributes were already extremely rare, and on the Sun Moon Empire's side, Ultimate Spirits were unheard of.
If Meng Hongchen could become an Ultimate Attribute Spirit Master, her future achievements would be absolutely limitless.
Meng Hongchen's heart began to pound wildly. She gripped Xu Tianhao's hand tightly, her fingertips trembling slightly, and her voice carried a hint of a sob:
"Is it really... really possible? Can I truly escape the fire poison and become an Ultimate Attribute Spirit Master?"
She had waited for this day for far too long.
The pain brought by the fire poison was something others could not imagine.
Every time it flared up, it felt as if a raging fire was burning within her body, making her wish she were dead.
She had thought about giving up, but the unwillingness and obsession in her heart had kept her going.
Now, Xu Tianhao had given her a nearly impossible hope; how could she not be excited?
"Of course you can." Xu Tianhao looked at her reddened eyes, his heart filled with pity.
He reached out and gently wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes, saying softly: "Since I've said it, I wouldn't speak without reason."
Meng Hongchen nodded vigorously, tears welling up again—this time, tears of joy.
She looked at Xu Tianhao, her voice choking up: "I'm willing! Of course I'm willing!"
She longed too much to escape the shackles of the fire poison, to become a true Ultimate Spirit Spirit Master.
This Opportunity was something she had dreamed of; she would never miss it.
Inside the Sea of Consciousness, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm curled its lip: "This fellow is getting a bargain. But Tianhao, are you really not considering getting an Ultimate Ice Spirit for yourself?"
"As long as you absorb one ice-attribute spirit ring, you can obtain an Ultimate Ice Spirit. At that time, you'd have three Spirits!"
"That would be unique on the Douluo Continent. While twin spirits are already extremely rare, triple spirits would be unprecedented."
Saying that, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm shook its head again: "Wait, Elder Yi also said he wanted to become your Spirit!"
"Calculating it that way, you would be a super Prodigy with four Spirits!"
Hearing the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's words, Xu Tianhao shook his head: "Spirits are about quality, not quantity. Having my natural twin spirits is enough."
"Elder Yi becoming my Spirit is also so that I can learn his Necromancy; the significance is different."
Seeing Xu Tianhao still insistent, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't say anything more: "Fine, since I'm already following you anyway, I'll listen to you."
Meng Hongchen then spoke up again, "But Tianhao, if my Spirit becomes an Ultimate Spirit, will I still be able to have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Xiao?"
Xu Tianhao thought for a moment and said: "I can't guarantee it, but even if you lose the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, it's still not a loss for you."
Pausing, Xu Tianhao continued: "Furthermore, your Martial Soul Fusion Skill is more about being connected by Bloodline."
"I feel that even if your Spirit changes to the Ultimate Ice attribute, it shouldn't affect the Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Instead, it might even enhance its power."
Meng Hongchen also thought that made sense and smiled: "True. Regardless of whether it affects it or not, we'll see when the time comes."
