Jumping out from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Xiao Lin was suddenly hit by a cold wind.
Sensing that something was slightly amiss, he instantly threw on a black robe.
"Great! Brother Lin! I knew you'd be fine."
Tang San looked at Xiao Lin, noticing that there wasn't the slightest scratch on his entire body, and spoke with a joyful expression.
"Of course, who do you think I am?"
Hearing Tang San's voice, the corner of Xiao Lin's mouth curled up, and he instantly grew smug.
"Now that I've forged the Ultimate Ice and Fire Body, I am immune to both ice and fire. My strength has increased by at least more than tenfold."
Feeling the changes in his body, Xiao Lin raised his right hand and tapped his muscles. Hearing a sound like striking steel, he became even more satisfied.
"Although my soul power level has only just broken through to Rank 40, I feel that this is just right."
Fearing that Tang San wouldn't understand his meaning, Xiao Lin explained that the Ultimate attributes would slow down his soul power growth, allowing the soul power within his body to condense better.
This made Tang San even more envious.
However, Tang San also possessed an immortal herb himself. He soon asked Xiao Lin to help him guard, and began to absorb the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and the Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone.
Taking advantage of the time Tang San was absorbing his immortal herb, Xiao Lin also prepared to carefully review his own progress this time.
First was the Ultimate Ice and Fire attributes, the enhancement of his physical fitness, and the breakthrough in his soul power rank.
There wasn't much to be said about this.
This was because Xiao Lin knew his martial soul, the Horned Dragon Staff, possessed a relatively high adaptability to other types of soul power, and he had received far more benefits than Tang San did in the original timeline.
Secondly, the consciousnesses of the three soul beasts in his consciousness space had also grown stronger, and there was a chance they would truly be able to grow alongside Xiao Lin in the future.
Although there was still no sign of a soul spirit at the moment, it didn't seem to be any weaker than the soul spirit system. Instead, it took on the appearance of a hybrid between an external soul bone and a soul ring.
There was always a feeling that these soul rings could have their age increased in the future. Not the kind that relied on the Sea God's divine power.
Xiao Lin temporarily referred to them as external soul rings, or as the self-condensing soul rings he had imagined. The kind of soul ring that, once condensed, could continue to have its age increased after absorbing other powerful forces in the future.
Of course, this feeling was merely a feeling at the moment, and the exact specifics would have to be observed in the future. Next was the enhancement of his mental power and the changes in his consciousness space.
After enduring the torment of ice and fire, and following the changes to his consciousness space, Xiao Lin discovered that his mental power had grown significantly stronger.
As for the changes in his consciousness space, after meditating and visualizing carefully for a while, Xiao Lin found that the speed at which his mental power progressed had also increased.
It was equivalent to switching to a much stronger visualization technique, which was really great. Xiao Lin had originally thought that his mental power would lag far behind Tang San's.
This way, even without the Fiery Eyes of Truth that Tang San possessed to see through the true forms of soul beasts, he wasn't doing too bad.
Speaking of the strengthening of mental power, in the past five years, the three siblings, Xiao Lin and the others, had completely adapted to the Mental Paralysis and Soul Sreams of the Evil Eye Demon Tree of Holy Soul Village.
Before leaving the back of Holy Soul Village, Xiao Lin and Tang San even gave their own inferior external soul bone to the mutated Evil Eye Demon Tree.
They were hoping that after the Evil Eye Demon Tree grew stronger, they could continue to train there.
Of course, on the Evil Eye Demon Tree's side, Xiao Lin and Tang San had also set up an offensive array, making it impossible for ordinary people to approach.
This was done by Xiao Lin and his group to prevent the villagers of Holy Soul Village from being harmed by the Evil Eye Demon Tree. Finally, Xiao Lin discovered that his Vajra Giant Ox Horns seemed to have evolved as well.
The pair of horns had more than doubled in volume, and two kinds of markings—golden-red and ice-blue—had appeared on their surface. The horns also began to resemble deer horns; no, they should actually be called dragon horns.
The amount of soul power they could store had increased tremendously, almost doubling, and the strength growth attribute had also doubled.
The consumption of firing lasers from the dragon horns had even decreased, but the lasers had now become a high-temperature ray of Ultimate Fire, a trillion-degree ray; and a freezing ray of Ultimate Ice, reaching absolute zero.
When the two laser rays were fused, the power multiplied several times over.
This was also the origin of Xiao Lin's claim that although he had only advanced by one rank, his strength was more than ten times what it used to be.
If Xiao Lin were to absorb his fourth soul ring and break through to a Soul Ancestor, he felt he could easily handle certain Soul Emperor experts.
Xiao Lin's Martial Soul Data Panel:
[Martial Soul: Horned Dragon Staff
Destructive Power: SS+ (I don't know exactly how high the damage is right now, but once I get the fourth soul ring, I should reach this level of destructive power.)
Speed: S- (Compared to before, there hasn't been much improvement in speed, though it has been brought up somewhat by the strength attribute.)
Range Distance: B (I'm not sure what to choose for the fourth soul ring yet. Even without counting the soul power laser rays, releasing a ranged attack in the way of the Horned Dragon Staff's third soul skill can also reach the B-rank.)
Endurance: SS
Action Precision: A (My mental power has greatly improved, and its growth rate will be even faster in the future.)
Growth Potential: SS (After absorbing the two immortal herbs, it has taken on the embryonic form of a god-tier martial soul.)
Special Energy: SS (Now this is truly invincible: Ultimate Ice and Fire, and ultimate destructive power.)]
After briefly creating a simple data panel for his martial soul, Xiao Lin nodded with satisfaction. This was even without factoring in the fourth soul ring and the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
Once Xiao Lin absorbs the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, his martial soul data panel will be able to improve even further. Furthermore, why does the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in his secondary dantian feel like a second martial soul?
Or rather, is it showing a trend to develop that way?
Shaking his head to dispel the random thoughts that had spontaneously arisen in his mind, Xiao Lin began to select his fourth soul ring for his Horned Dragon Staff.
Originally, Xiao Lin had planned to obtain a soul ring that would enhance his speed and strengthen the lightning attribute. He had even picked out the soul beast: the Thunder-Winged Dragon from the Thunder Valley.
This is a flying dragon that possesses wings of lightning.
It doesn't actually have physical wings; the "thunder wings" refer to the wings of lightning formed by its formidable lightning-control ability.
This type of flying dragon primarily relies on the electromagnetic force of lightning to float in the air and move at high speeds.
Therefore, Xiao Lin's thought at the time was to obtain a soul ring like the Thunder Wing, which would increase his speed, give him a pair of wings, and incidentally allow him to test out whether he could fly.
After all, without considering the physical wings, Xiao Lin felt that this kind of electromagnetic floating flight was highly scientific.
Moreover, it could also allow his martial soul, the Horned Dragon Staff, to become the Dragon-Imprisoning Staff (originating from Xiao Lin's mischievous sense of humor).
However, now that Xiao Lin's body had taken on the Ultimate Ice and Fire attributes, he felt that he already had soul rings possessing lightning and fire attributes, so the next soul ring should ideally be of the ice attribute.
He did not want the ice and fire attributes to become unbalanced.
Even if there were a one-in-ten-thousand chance of that happening, it would not do; it was better to be cautious. Therefore, the attributes for his upcoming soul rings should be: Rank 4 Ice, 5 Lightning, 6 Fire, 7 Ice, 8 Fire, and 9 Lightning.
As for the seventh soul ring, even though an ice-attribute soul ring wouldn't grant Xiao Lin an ice-attribute soul skill, the ice-attribute energy would still be abundant. Xiao Lin didn't mind this.
This meant that he should next choose a speed-type ice-attribute soul beast for his soul ring. Would it be even better if it possessed Ultimate Ice?
A speed-type, ice-attribute soul ring suddenly threw Xiao Lin into a blind spot. Although he had read quite a lot of information regarding soul beast species, he didn't really know much about sea soul beasts or ice-attribute soul beasts.
There was nothing he could do about that.
Because from the very beginning, Xiao Lin hadn't intended to pick ice-attribute soul rings, as very few ice-attribute soul beasts are adept at speed.
A know-it-all snow leopard? (T/N: The Chinese word for 'knowledge' sounds like 'cheese' here.)
Let's forget about that!
Did he have to choose a soul beast like the Ice Phoenix?
The Ice Phoenix might indeed excel at some speed, but a soul beast like the phoenix could definitely challenge ten-thousand-year soul beasts even when it was only a hundred years old.
If such a soul beast truly existed, it would be impossible for an Ice Phoenix not to be among the Top Ten Fierce Beasts ten thousand years later. If he needed something adept at strength, Xiao Lin actually knew a few.
Furthermore, an ice-attribute silkworm from the Far North would also work for the mental attribute, but only the SkyDream Ice Worm would match Xiao Lin's soul ring selection.
After carefully considering the matter, if he couldn't find any speed-oriented ice-attribute soul beasts in the Heaven Dou Empire's library, he would have no choice but to opt for a strength-oriented ice-attribute soul beast.
