70. Amazing Chemical Reactions
Half a day after Ling Bingtian and Ling Yongsheng escaped the encirclement of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, Ling Bingtian and Ling Yongsheng rode their Ice-Front Horned Horses back to the Youth Training Camp, looking radiant.
Indeed, thanks to the powerful spiritual energy he gained through cultivating divinity, although the essence of Ling Bingtian's spiritual energy had not undergone a complete transformation, his total spiritual energy far exceeded that of a normal Soul Emperor.
Therefore, the soul shock he experienced when absorbing the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Ring could not shake Ling Bingtian's spiritual sea at all.
The moment the soul-shaking fluctuations entered Ling Bingtian's spiritual sea, they were neutralized by the immense spiritual power.
With the added physical enhancements from cultivating the Nine Revolutions and the Frost Heaven Ice Technique, as well as basic body tempering, Ling Bingtian successfully absorbed the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Ring, which had a cultivation of 18,000 years, and achieved his own 10,000-year third Soul Ring.
As expected, Ling Bingtian also obtained the Ice Jade Scorpion's strongest innate soul skill - Ice Explosion Technique.
With the energy boost from this ten-thousand-year soul ring and the accumulation of the past few months, his soul power cultivation level broke through to level 32.
Having achieved his goal, Ling Bingtian and Ling Yongsheng rested for a while before returning directly to the youth training camp.
However, as soon as they returned to the training camp, a figure flashed quickly from afar.
Ling Bingtian looked closely and realized that the person who came was none other than Han Hu, the current head instructor of the training camp.
However, when Han Hu saw Ling Yongsheng next to Ling Bingtian, his face showed obvious joy.
"Old Master, please wait." Han Hu's deep voice came from hundreds of meters away.
Upon hearing this, Ling Yongsheng, who had just said goodbye to his grandson and was about to leave, tightened the reins, stopping the Icefang Horned Horse from moving forward. He turned his head, frowned, and asked, "What happened? Why are you acting so flustered?"
Ling Yongsheng was somewhat dissatisfied with Han Hu's flustered behavior. As the Supreme General of the Extreme Ice Army, he should have prioritized stability in everything he did.
"Master, I do have something very important that I need to ask for your opinion on," Han Hu replied with a wry smile.
Han Hu was a veteran in the military, so how could he not understand Ling Yongsheng's expression? But this matter was indeed too important, and at his rank, he was completely incapable of making a decision on such a thing.
"Please come with me, young master, please come along as well." Han Hu cupped his hands in greeting to Ling Yongsheng, and then said the same to Ling Bingtian.
"Alright, lead the way. Let this old man see what's making you, the invincible Iron Tiger, so anxious." Ling Yongsheng replied to Han Hu irritably, dismounted, and waved for Han Hu to lead the way.
Han Hu didn't hesitate. He turned around and strode towards the back, with Ling Yongsheng following behind him as they walked inside.
After tossing the reins to the grooms from the training camp who had come to lead the Icefang Horned Horse, Ling Bingtian followed them.
"Hmph, I definitely need to have a word with this Little Tiger. What could possibly require my approval at the training camp? He's probably just trying to slack off."
Ling Yongsheng had a vague idea in his mind what Han Hu wanted to ask him for instructions about, and at the same time, he planted countless flags in his heart.
……
Soon, Ling Yongsheng was proven wrong by the very flag he had set for himself.
He and his beloved grandson Ling Bingtian stared in shock at the "acquaintance" before them.
Yuan Chao!
Yuan Chao, having unleashed his martial spirit, displayed a completely different demeanor than before.
Yuan Chao, whose original martial soul was a malignant mutated wind baboon, experienced no changes when releasing his martial soul at the Soul Master stage, except for the growth of some thin white hairs all over his body and the slight increase in the length and tearing ability of his nails.
But Yuan Chao is different now; he's changed from before!
Upon releasing his martial spirit, not only did his white fur acquire some fiery red color, but his canine teeth also became visible above his lips. The most noticeable change, however, was his hands, which transformed into something resembling dragon claws.
"What's going on?"
The first question Ling Bingtian, who was closest to Yuan Chao, asked after seeing Yuan Chao's attitude was...
Ling Yongsheng, who was standing to the side, was also full of surprise. He knew Yuan Chao very well.
He was clean in character and background, and after his grandson's assessment, he was found to have exceptional martial arts skills, so the grandson arranged for him to become his grandson's study companion.
His situation was so unique that Ling Yongsheng was not entirely unaware of it. With innate half-level soul power and a mutated wind baboon martial soul, he was someone destined not to go far on the path of a soul master.
But now it seems that his martial soul has undergone some changes, which has aroused Ling Yongsheng's great curiosity.
Since his grandson had already asked, Ling Yongsheng simply stood aside and listened to Yuan Chao's explanation.
"Young Master, Patriarch, the reason my martial soul has become like this is because my mutated Wind Baboon martial soul has undergone an evolution!" Yuan Chao said excitedly, gesturing wildly.
"Evolution?" Ling Yongsheng and Ling Bingtian were both taken aback.
Although the evolution of a martial soul is not a common occurrence, it is not impossible.
Generally speaking, when absorbing a high-quality spirit ring of the same attribute, a low-level martial soul has a certain probability of evolving into a higher-level martial soul, but that probability is extremely low. Martial soul evolution is also possible when absorbing a spirit bone of the same high quality and attribute.
The last scenario is evolution after absorbing rare and precious materials. The most typical example is Luo Hongjun, the Phoenix Douluo who became a god ten thousand years ago. His Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul evolved into the top-tier Ten-Headed Fire Phoenix martial soul after absorbing a rare and precious material called the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.
However, judging from the fact that no spirit rings appeared after Yuan Chao released his martial soul, he was clearly not in the first situation. Given Yuan Chao's circumstances, obtaining a spirit bone was definitely impossible, let alone the rare and precious treasures that all spirit masters dream of.
So how did he evolve his martial soul?
Yuan Chao quickly provided the answer.
"Young Master, the other day, when I cultivated the Heavenly Fire Technique to the third level of perfection, an extremely comfortable energy emanated from my bones and flowed throughout my body. I felt so comfortable that I kept my eyes closed and enjoyed it, not paying attention to the time. When the comfort faded and I opened my eyes to feel it again, my Martial Soul had completed its evolution and become the Dragon Claw Flame Wind Ape! My Soul Power also jumped from level 7 to level 10!" Yuan Chao said excitedly.
Yuan Chao, who was usually calm and even a bit aloof, was so excited that his face turned bright red, like a monkey's bottom.
His words were like an atomic bomb dropped into the hearts of Ling Yongsheng and Ling Bingtian, causing a huge uproar.
Based on what Yuan Chao said, is it possible that everyone who can cultivate martial arts to the third level of perfection can evolve their martial spirit once?
If this inference is true, then the entire Soul Master system on Douluo Continent may suffer an unprecedented and terrifying shock! Because that would mean that a large number of humans would be able to cultivate into Soul Masters.
The resulting problems and troubles will be unimaginable!
"My Ice God..." Ling Yongsheng murmured, not expecting the news to be so explosive. No wonder Han Hu let him make the decision.
Ling Bingtian was also somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that the martial arts from the Divine Pearl could trigger such a chemical reaction when practiced in the Douluo Continent.
He originally just wanted to give the people of Douluo Continent a new way out, but he never expected that martial arts and soul power would produce such a chemical reaction.
After a brief moment of distraction, Ling Yongsheng quickly recovered and said to Han Hu, who was waiting beside him, "Block all news about this. Find someone to train Yuan Chao. If anyone else reaches the peak of the third level of martial arts in the future, execute the same order."
Besides the people in Ling Bingtian's small group, Ling Bingtian also wrote down a lot of cultivation techniques in the past two years and collected them into the Ling family's secret treasury.
These cultivation techniques were also given to some people loyal to the Ling family to practice, and what Ling Yongsheng just said was aimed at these people.
Han Hu was naturally one of these people.
"Yes!" Han Hu replied excitedly to Ling Yongsheng, his eyes filled with fervor.
Previously, when the Ling family elders gave him a martial arts cultivation method suitable for him, he did not take it seriously.
After all, with his Soul Douluo-level Soul Power cultivation, the slight boost brought by martial arts was negligible.
But now the situation is naturally different; by cultivating martial arts, it is possible to evolve one's own martial spirit!
Awesome!
Han Hu shouted excitedly in his heart, and slowly retreated from the tent to inform the others who knew the news.
"Good lad, you're finally starting to turn things around!"
After Ling Yongsheng gave the order, Ling Bingtian came to his senses, stepped forward, patted Yuan Chao on the shoulder, and congratulated him on his opportunity.
"Hehehe!" Yuan Chao rubbed his head and chuckled憨厚ly.
As he laughed, two lines of tears silently streamed down Yuan Chao's cheeks.
Only at this moment did he finally resolve the knot in his heart that had been formed over many years due to his half-level soul power.
Because he awakened this innate half-level soul power, Yuan Chao was not well-liked in the circle of ordinary people, who believed that he was not in the same class as them.
In the Soul Master circle, having half a level of innate Soul Power is a joke. Even those who awaken their innate Soul Power but only have level one want to step on Yuan Chao to gain some recognition.
Because of this, Yuan Chao was not pleased by either side. Before breaking through to become a Soul Master, a Soul Warrior was no different from an ordinary person.
Therefore, even ordinary people with some Soul Master background dare to come and bully him to show off their abilities.
Over time, a knot formed in Yuan Chao's heart, causing him to lament his martial spirit and his fate.
Ling Bingtian had always known this, but he didn't have any good solutions.
The only solution Ling Bingtian could think of was to find a suitable rare and precious herb for Yuan Chao to solve this problem.
Originally, he planned to become a Soul Master and then set off to the secret place outside Tiandou City to find rare and precious materials that could change Yuan Chao's fate.
Now it seems I was overthinking things.
"However, shouldn't we also try to seize the resources of that secret realm?"
Thinking of this, Ling Bingtian suddenly remembered this problem that he had always overlooked.
Now that he has become a level 32 Soul Master, he can provide Ling Yongsheng with a more prolonged state of extreme ice.
Then, the threat in that secret place can be reduced to another level.
Ling Bingtian wasn't too concerned about the spirit beasts living inside. With Ling Yongsheng's strength as a level 98 Super Douluo, plus his own Extreme Ice enhancement, he was definitely invincible in the secret realm.
However, in his memory, the soul beasts inside seemed to be able to draw upon the dragon souls of two dragon kings to protect them, which would be a real problem.
With demigod-level strength, I wonder if Ling Yongsheng, at the level of ultimate ice, can even reach that level.
There are four levels in total within the Title Douluo level.
One type is the Title Douluo of level 91-94, which is the ordinary Title Douluo.
One type is the titled Douluo at level 95-98, which is called Super Douluo.
One type is the level 99 Title Douluo, also known as the Limit Douluo.
The last type is a subdivision within Limit Douluo, which consists of three levels: Quasi-demigod, Demigod, and Quasi-god.
When a Limit Douluo reaches the level of a Quasi-God, he is not far from becoming a true god.
After thinking it over, Ling Bingtian decided to give it a try, after all, practice makes perfect!
Even if he fails to gain anything from it, presumably with his grandfather's ultimate ice power, he can still escape unscathed.
So, the only question is whether there will be any unusual developments within the royal family.
Two years ago, after the Ling family got rid of "Pangolin Rat", they also secretly released information, hiding information about Ling Yongming, but revealing the existence of Ling Yongsheng.
After that, the four forces became even more respectful towards the Ling family.
Three Douluo from one family! And one of them is a level 98 Super Douluo! Who would want to mess with them?
Only the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire maintained an ambiguous attitude towards this.
After all, the Ling family's strength is already somewhat too great.
On the one hand, they hoped that the Ling family would resist the Douling Empire; on the other hand, they were afraid that the Ling family might have ulterior motives.
In the past two years, the number of rats in the city has been increasing, and there have even been cases where ordinary people have been caught hiding in the rats.
If the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire knew that Ling Yongsheng had gone to the vicinity of Heavenly Dou City, they might have some bad thoughts.
"But it doesn't matter anyway." Thinking this, Ling Bingtian suddenly felt indifferent.
How can a royal family of such a powerful empire, which cannot even guarantee the awakening of martial spirits in the children of its own people, possess any fighting strength?
If it weren't for the Ling family's adherence to the principle of loyalty to the emperor and the instructions given by the Ice God, Ling Bingtian would have gone to that secret place to seize resources long ago.
Since that's the case, I'll try to persuade Grandpa to take me there next time he has a holiday.
Now, more importantly, Ling Bingtian looked at Yuan Chao, who was smiling憨厚ly in front of him, and wanted to celebrate properly for his brother.
"Let's call up Big Fish, let's have a feast together tonight!"
"Okay!"
Seeing the happy smiles on his grandson and his brother's faces, Ling Yongsheng's face also showed a look of relief and joy.
