It seems that because of today’s incident, Lin Xiao’s relationship with Yao Lao has improved.
The bond between master and disciple grew ever stronger.
“Little Xiaozi, when do you plan to absorb this soul bone?”
The old doctor changed the subject, no longer mentioning what had just happened.
Everyone has secrets, and he already knew a lot.
That’s enough.
“Later, my soul power is already level 20.”
“Next, I plan to refine this soul bone and convert most of its contained soul power into battle qi for cultivation.”
“My fighting spirit hasn’t even broken through to the stage of fighting spirit yet.”
“Even with the teacher’s suppression, the imbalance of the two energies still makes me feel very uncomfortable.
One is low and the other is high, which doesn’t feel very good.”
Lin Xiao slowly explained that he originally planned to use the soul bone to break through to level 20, but he didn’t expect that the Ice Emperor’s soul power would directly push his soul power to level 20.
Fortunately, the teacher asked Hyotei to first raise his soul power to level 20, otherwise it would have taken much more effort.
The old doctor nodded slightly, agreeing with what he had thought.
“Little Xiaozi, what’s next?
Any plans?”
The old doctor asked directly, since they already knew how things were going to develop, so what to do next was very important.
“First, I’ll go to the Star Dou Great Forest to see the auspicious beasts, and then I’ll go to the Body Sect to awaken my Body Martial Soul for the second time.”
Lin Xiao is very methodical and knows what he needs to do.
(PS: The author hasn’t forgotten about Xue Di; not taking it now is preparation for impersonating Xuan Zi to rob her later.)
The old doctor nodded slightly, saying that it was good that there were arrangements.
The old man of medicine was not worried about Lin Xiao and transformed into white mist to enter the ring.
After tidying himself up, Lin Xiao headed towards the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Judging by the time, Huo Yuhao should have finished his Shrek Academy assessment by now.
Lin Xiao remembered that it took Huo Yuhao a year from escaping from the White Tiger Duke’s mansion to the end of the first semester.
(This is mentioned in Chapter 49 of the original novel.)
Shrek Academy conducts its assessment three months after enrollment.
After the assessment, Huo Yuhao took a break and went to the far north.
Now, Huo Yuhao’s assessment should be over.
With Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao by his side, winning is expected.
Now, it has taken Lin Xiao a month to follow Huo Yuhao into the Star Dou Great Forest, more than a month to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest, and another two months to travel to the far north.
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye; time really flies.
However, now that you’ve already taken Ice Emperor, Huo Yuhao, what will you use as your second spirit?
Lin Xiao became somewhat curious.
Inside the ring, Hyotei, in her spirit form, felt the abundant energy within.
But when she saw Electrolux’s gray energy ball, she couldn’t help but tremble.
Was this another senior?
That’s pretty strong too.
“Little Scorpion, now that you’re here, we’re all family, so don’t be shy.”
Electrolux’s voice rang out, seemingly very polite to Hyotei.
“Hey Electrolux, don’t scare Hyotei.”
The figure of the old apothecary appeared inside the ring and smiled at the Ice Emperor.
“Grandpa, this grandpa didn’t scare me.
I’m just too incompetent.”
Hyotei quickly explained, saying it would be a lie to say they weren’t afraid; these two were super big shots, and what if they offended them if they weren’t careful?
The old doctor smiled and said, “Don’t be shy.
Just call me Grandpa Yao from now on.
As for that guy, you can do whatever you want with him.”
“Just call me Old Master Yi.
Grandpa Yi sounds weird.”
Electrolux quickly spoke up, saying that it was rare to have another person, and this was much more interesting than the old apothecary.
Hyotei nodded repeatedly: “Grandpa Medicine, Elder Yi.”
Hyotei speaks sweetly, which wins the hearts of the two elders.
“You can stay here from now on.
You can go out whenever you want.”
“If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask us two old guys.”
The old man spoke gently, reaching out to rub Hyotei’s head.
Hyotei now looked like a little scorpion, and was rather obedient.
Hyotei nodded repeatedly, thinking how kind these two old men were.
Outside, Lin Xiao had already left the far north and embarked on his journey to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Two months later, in a safe place in the Star Dou Great Forest.
At this moment, Lin Xiao was surrounded by ice, and Ice Emperor lazily lay on his lap, enjoying the battle aura emanating from Lin Xiao.
This warm fighting spirit made Hyotei very happy.
Within Lin Xiao’s body, his fighting spirit continuously increased, and the Ice Emperor’s soul bone gradually imprinted itself into his body.
Unlike Huo Yuhao, he didn’t have his bones modified by the Ice Emperor.
As the bone gradually fused with his torso, the icy aura emanating from Lin Xiao grew increasingly intense, freezing the cave and causing rows of ice crystals to spread out around it.
Lin Xiao continuously transformed the soul power contained within the soul bone into battle qi, and following the cultivation method of the Burning Technique, he continuously refined the battle qi.
Little by little, Lin Xiao’s strength improved.
Unlike soul power, battle qi cultivation does not have a level 10 limit.
Given enough time, Lin Xiao could simply wait until he was invincible before emerging.
That being said, cultivating battle qi is a hundred times more difficult than cultivating soul power.
Reaching the ninth level of Dou Qi in a short period of time is not easy.
Lin Xiao couldn’t absorb all the energy in the soul bone; some of it flowed into the ring during the transformation and was stored by Yao Lao.
And so, Lin Xiao began his silent cultivation.
A month later, Lin Xiao woke up from his cultivation.
The two energies in his body seemed to be unbalanced again, with his battle qi exceeding his soul power.
“Battle Qi, Level Three!”
Lin Xiao took a deep breath.
Finally, he had reached the third stage of Battle Qi!
Hahahaha!
Cultivating battle qi is truly difficult, but once you succeed, the rewards are immense.
Lin Xiao’s face was full of smiles.
He had successfully refined the soul bone and reached the third stage of Dou Qi, and his soul power was also at level 20.
This upgrade is truly massive!
It’s already reached the level of the Flame Emperor back then, hehehe!
Hyotei was awakened by Lin Xiao’s loud shouting.
“Little Xiaozi, you’re only at the Soul Venerable level, what’s there to brag about?”
Ice Emperor rolled her eyes at Lin Xiao speechlessly.
“Only a Soul Venerable, and you’re already this happy?
You still need to work on your temperament.”
Lin Xiao was too lazy to explain to this little scorpion that she wouldn’t understand this feeling of improvement.
“Ice Emperor, are you saying that I am currently at the Soul Master level?”
Lin Xiao quickly grasped the key point: the aura he was displaying indicated he was a Soul Master, but his Soul Power was only level 20.
In other words, the third stage of Dou Qi is equivalent to Soul Master.
Lin Xiao already had a plan in mind.
“Yes, Soul Master,” Ice Emperor said.
The energy contained in Hyotei’s 400,000-year-old soul bone is truly considerable.
After a moment of reflection, Lin Xiao shattered the ice inside the cave with a single palm strike, welcoming the long-awaited sunlight.
