Stronger than a god.
One look and Lin Xiao knew this was Elder Yi’s teaching; no one else could act so pretentious.
Fortunately, the suspicion in the Ice Empress’s heart completely settled down.
The other party was more powerful than a god, and since this kid was his disciple, becoming a god was a certainty.
If it truly was as he said, it seemed feasible.
She might not even survive her own 400,000-year Great Tribulation; there was a high probability she would die under the Heavenly Tribulation.
Take a gamble and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!!
The Ice Empress looked at Lin Xiao: “Human kid, can that Spirit Soul Method really let my soul survive?”
Hearing this, Lin Xiao smiled faintly: “Ice Empress, this Spirit Soul Method was researched by my teacher and another senior.”
You should have said so earlier, that it was made by the old man; then it’s fine.
“Fine, in that case, I agree to become your Soul Spirit.”
The Ice Empress thought for a moment and agreed directly; having two gods cultivating this human before her was her chance.
“What…
do I need to do?”
The Ice Empress looked at Lin Xiao, not knowing how to become a Soul Spirit.
Lin Xiao spoke up: “Just become my spirit ring.”
“Tch, so you still want my spirit ring?” The Ice Empress spoke disdainfully.
After all that talk, wasn’t it still about the spirit ring?
Lin Xiao gave an awkward smile: “I never said I didn’t need you as a spirit ring.”
The Ice Empress rolled her eyes at Lin Xiao.
After all that, he still needed her to be a spirit ring?
“You’re only Rank 15; I can’t even become your spirit ring.”
The Ice Empress spoke flatly; even if she wanted to become a Soul Spirit, it would be very difficult.
Just as the Ice Empress finished speaking, she saw a pale white flame appear in Lin Xiao’s hand.
The flame looked similar to the Bone Chilling Flame, but its power wasn’t even one percent of the original’s.
The Ice Empress was startled, but after sensing it, it seemed the kid’s flame wasn’t that powerful.
It posed no threat to her.
Taking a long sigh of relief, the Ice Empress finally spoke: “You have twin spirits?
What’s the connection between this flame and that old man’s flame?”
Lin Xiao nodded: “I have twin spirits.
This flame of mine mutated after gaining a trace of my teacher’s divine charm.”
The Ice Empress nodded.
No wonder it looked so much like that flame; it turned out he had obtained a trace of the other’s divine charm.
“Ultimate Ice.”
“An Ultimate Ice flame.”
The Ice Empress was even more shocked.
Is Ultimate Ice so worthless nowadays?
A casual second Martial Soul is Ultimate Ice; no wonder the other party wanted her to become a Soul Spirit.
This talent is so strong; humans truly are uniquely blessed by heaven.
The Ice Empress also believed in Yao Lao’s identity even more—an existence more powerful than a god.
This kid’s Martial Soul became Ultimate Ice just by being tainted with a trace of divine charm; no wonder she was so afraid of that flame.
It truly was not an object of the mortal realm.
“Kid, what do I do next?”
The Ice Empress had decided to cling tightly to this thigh; she definitely had to cling tightly.
The other party already had the strength to kill her, yet was giving her a chance; if she missed it, she would be incredibly foolish.
If that big worm became a god and she wasn’t one, how embarrassing would that be for a scorpion?
Subsequently, Yao Lao told the Ice Empress the method and precautions for becoming a Soul Spirit.
The Ice Empress listened in a daze, feeling like her brain wasn’t enough to process it; this method was too incredible.
The Ice Empress swallowed and nodded with partial understanding.
“No matter, little scorpion, I will assist you when the time comes.”
Yao Lao spoke gently.
The Ice Empress nodded in agreement: “Kid, what Spirit Bone do you need?
I can condense one for you.”
Lin Xiao was overjoyed and immediately spoke: “A torso bone.”
It would happen to enhance the strength of his Body Martial Soul.
The Ice Empress nodded slightly: “Get ready, kid, I’m coming.”
As she spoke, the Ice Empress’s terrifying Soul Power of nearly 400,000 years poured out.
An ice-blue magnetic field enveloped Lin Xiao, and in an instant, the air went silent.
The thumping of a heartbeat echoed in Lin Xiao’s ears.
Yao Lao stood aside, observing closely; he was also very curious about such a powerful Spirit Beast Sacrifice and couldn’t help but study it.
Following the research of Yao Lao and Electrolux, the Ice Empress began to transform into a Soul Spirit.
“Little scorpion, seal your energy; just enough for Xiao Xiaozi to reach Rank 20 is fine.”
Yao Lao quickly spoke up, preventing the Ice Empress’s terrifying Soul Power from flooding into Lin Xiao’s body all at once.
The Ice Empress began to control her Soul Power, sealing it bit by bit within Lin Xiao’s body.
Following what Yao Lao had said earlier, after the Ice Empress finished, she discarded her physical body and transformed into a soul to enter the spirit ring.
Lin Xiao’s entire body was trembling; the Ice Empress’s power was too violent, and even with his Body Martial Soul, he could barely withstand it.
Fortunately, the Ice Empress didn’t use the ‘bone first, then soul, then ring’ method from the original story, so the pain Lin Xiao endured was much less.
But it was still very uncomfortable; cold sweat kept breaking out on Lin Xiao’s forehead.
Extreme pain spread through Lin Xiao, and extreme cold surged through his four limbs and hundred bones.
Time passed bit by bit, and the cold sweat on Lin Xiao’s forehead gradually dissipated.
A torso bone condensed by the Ice Empress also appeared before Lin Xiao.
“Teacher, Ice Empress, I succeeded!”
Lin Xiao sensed his current self; his constitution had improved at least threefold, his Soul Power had reached Rank 20, and his Bone Spirit Child Fire Martial Soul had obtained its first spirit ring.
A red spirit ring of nearly 400,000 years!
The Ice Empress emerged from the spirit ring.
Looking at her soul-form appearance, she was still very curious; it seemed nothing was wrong, she was still alive!
“Xiao Xiaozi, after absorbing my Spirit Bone, your constitution can improve even further.”
The Ice Empress looked at her own Spirit Bone with some reluctance; she had succeeded, and in the future, when she became a god, she would no longer have the body of a Spirit Beast.
Since she was already the other party’s Soul Spirit, their relationship had become closer, and she even started calling him Xiao Xiaozi.
“Teacher, do you want to study this Spirit Bone?”
Lin Xiao asked, pointing at the torso bone.
Yao Lao shook his head: “No need.
This should be a type of treasure; I can know what’s inside with a sweep of my soul force.”
“After that fellow Electrolux recovers, he can certainly study and explore it.”
“For now, you should just absorb it.”
A Spirit Bone, as Yao Lao said, was just a treasure.
What he excelled at wasn’t researching treasures, but medicinal pills and souls!
Lin Xiao nodded and didn’t insist; he put away the Spirit Bone, planning to find a safe place to absorb it later.
“Little scorpion, you don’t need to stay in that spirit ring.
How about keeping us two old fellows company?”
Yao Lao looked at the Ice Empress and extended an invitation.
The Ice Empress’s eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded in agreement: “Alright, old man!”
Yao Lao lightly raised his hand and sent the Ice Empress into Lin Xiao’s ring.
Yao Lao looked at Lin Xiao and spoke gently: “Xiao Xiaozi, in the future, there’s no need to hide anything from your teacher.”
“Teacher will not harm you.”
After speaking, Yao Lao shielded the ring so their conversation couldn’t be heard inside.
Hearing this, Lin Xiao’s heart trembled.
Had his teacher found out after all?
Thinking about it, no matter how careful he acted, from the Star Dou Great Forest to the Soul Spirit, then to the Far North, and just now with the Ice Empress, he had naturally called out her name.
It would be strange if his teacher didn’t suspect anything.
He just didn’t expect it to happen so soon, nor did he expect Yao Lao to bring it up so quickly.
“Teacher, as you know, I am a soul reincarnated.”
“I won’t say much about my past life; I just happen to know many things.”
“Including this World, and also teacher’s World.”
“However, I’m only limited to knowing things; compared to you and the others, I’m far behind.”
Hearing this, Yao Lao didn’t blame Lin Xiao but instead smiled: “Xiao Xiaozi, I could naturally see these things.”
“Spending so much time together, your talent is good, and I could tell you know a lot, but regarding cultivation and gaining experience, you’re like a blank sheet of paper, understanding nothing.”
“Yet sometimes, you seem to know many things; so that’s how it was.”
When he heard Lin Xiao call out the Ice Empress’s name earlier, Yao Lao already had deep suspicions.
Now that Lin Xiao had explained, he was relieved; who doesn’t have a secret?
That this little fellow could tell him now was somewhat unexpected.
Little fellow, since you’ve told teacher this, teacher won’t let you down.
Yao Lao thought to himself.
“Xiao Xiaozi, in the future, just speak boldly; there’s no need to be secretive.
Every time you cautiously look for excuses and ways to remind me, if you’re not tired, I’m tired of it.”
Hearing this, Lin Xiao gave a helpless smile.
He had still underestimated his teacher’s broad-mindedness; he had also been somewhat dishonorable.
Yao Lao was a universally recognized good teacher.
He had done such embarrassing things; it was truly a bit funny.
He didn’t even know what he had been worried about initially.
Since it was known, he would use his foresight to its full potential; there was no need to be cautious.
“Teacher, thank you!”
Yao Lao smiled faintly and reached out to gently pat Lin Xiao’s head: “Little fellow, you still have your teacher.”
The bond between master and disciple was already very good; there was no need for Lin Xiao to hide anything anymore.
“Teacher, aren’t you curious about what I know regarding you?”
Lin Xiao looked at Yao Lao curiously.
Yao Lao shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and turned away: “Not curious.
Only the unknown is worth my exploration.”
“And now, I am not in that World; what does it matter whether I know or not?
It would only add to my troubles.”
Hearing this, Lin Xiao felt even more like a clown; what he wanted to hide was so insignificant in the other’s eyes.
Yao Lao is indeed Yao Lao.
He still had much to learn.
