Bing'er's Improvement

Although Shui Bing'er's Fourth Soul Ring is a purple five-thousand-year Soul Ring, after being strengthened by the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone and enhanced by the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull, the power of her Fourth Soul Skill is already comparable to Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill.

The ice spikes, imbued with extreme cold, are cold enough to freeze any substance and sharp enough to pierce most defenses of the same level.

The ice spike shot towards the Frost Giant Dragon with lightning speed, leaving an icy blue trail in the air.

The Frost Giant Dragon was currently dazed by the mental damage from the Annihilation Light and the Icebound Aurora, and its wings were also being forcefully controlled by Tang San and Xiao Wu, making it impossible for it to dodge.

The ice spike struck its chest squarely, hitting the dent Tang San had created.

"Boom!"

An icy blue light exploded, and the Frost Giant Dragon's body stiffened abruptly.

The ice spike pierced its chest and exited from its back, drawing out a trail of pale blue blood.

The Frost Giant Dragon's life force was rapidly draining away, and the light in its pupils quickly dimmed.

It let out a faint, sigh-like dragon roar, and then slowly collapsed.

"Boom!"

The massive body crashed onto the ice, causing the ground to tremble violently.

The Frost Giant Dragon's tail twitched twice, then it became completely still.

A black Soul Ring slowly rose from the corpse of the Frost Giant Dragon.

Without hesitation, Shui Bing'er immediately sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the Soul Ring.

The Frost Giant Dragon's Soul Ring energy is vast and pure, carrying the domineering nature unique to dragons and the ultimate ice-elemental energy.

The Soul Ring fell from Shui Bing'er's head and landed on her body.

She closed her eyes, guiding the energy of the Soul Ring into her body, her expression calm and focused.

Tang San, Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, Ye Lingling stood beside her, quietly protecting her.

With his physique strengthened by multiple pieces of Whale Rubber and his Spiritual Power enhanced by the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull, Tang San wasn't particularly worried about Shui Bing'er absorbing this 20,000-year-old Soul Ring.

Two hours later, Shui Bing'er opened her eyes.

Five Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet: two yellow, two purple, and one black, pulsating slowly.

Just when everyone thought the Soul Ring absorption was complete, a beam of blue light shot out from the corpse of the Frost Giant Dragon.

The light was as fast as lightning, striking Shui Bing'er directly in the back.

Shui Bing'er's body stiffened abruptly, and she let out a suppressed gasp.

A tearing pain shot through her back, as if something was trying to burst out of it.

"Sizzle!!"

A pair of wings unfurled from Shui Bing'er's outer garment, slowly unfolding from her back.

Those were wings made of ice crystals, with a wingspan of about three meters. Each feather was made of ice crystals, crystal clear, and shimmered with seven colors in the sunlight.

The shape of the wings is very similar to that of the Frost Giant Dragon, and the ice crystals at the edges are equally sharp.

The moment the wings unfolded, a chilling aura emanated from them, lowering the surrounding air temperature by several degrees.

External Soul Bone!

Everyone was overjoyed.

But when Tang San looked at Shui Bing'er's bare upper body, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

He thought to himself, "Thank goodness there are no outsiders here."

"Bing'er, don't be nervous, that's External Soul Bone!"

Tang San suppressed his excitement and said with delight.

Shui Bing'er was already used to External Soul Bone.

She often watched Dugu Yan practice the Eight Spider Lances, so she naturally knew how to control the External Soul Bone.

Even if you've never eaten pork, haven't you at least seen a pig run?

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, suppressing the panic in her heart.

She closed her eyes, and with a thought, controlled the wings to slowly fold up.

The wings retracted into the body one by one.

Shui Bing'er's back was left with only two faint silver lines, like wing tattoos.

Then she quickly took out her spare clothes and put them on, a slight blush rising on her face.

Tang San couldn't help but think to himself, "We've had countless 'five-person battles' before, what's there to be ashamed of?"

He smiled and asked, "Bing'er, how is it?"

After closing her eyes and sensing for a while, Shui Bing'er opened them and said, "My Soul Power is level 54. It's been half a year since I broke through level 50. Including this top-tier Soul Ring and the External Soul Bone, my Soul Power has increased by a total of four levels."

She paused, then continued, "The Fifth Soul Skill, Ice Phoenix Breath. Its effect is the same as the Frost Giant Dragon's Frost Dragon Breath, condensing the power of the Ice Phoenix into an extremely cold breath that charges in a straight line, dealing massive ice-attribute damage to the first enemy hit and inflicting the 'Deep Freeze' status, reducing the target's movement speed by 70% for six seconds. If the target has already been slowed or frozen by other ice-type skills, a critical hit effect occurs, increasing the damage by 50%."

Tang San nodded, his eyes full of admiration. "This Soul Skill works perfectly with your existing control skills like Ice Seal. First, use Ice Seal to slow down or freeze the opponent, then use Ice Phoenix Breath to deal finishing damage. One combo is enough to kill any opponent of the same level."

He paused, a glint of anticipation in his eyes. "What about External Soul Bones?"

Shui Bing'er's lips curved into a smile, a glint of excitement flashing in her eyes. "I named my External Soul Bone Frost Dragon Wings. It grants me the ability to fly at great speed. Although I can fly when my Martial Soul Possession, it consumes a lot of Soul Power and isn't very fast. With the Frost Dragon Wings, I can fly freely like Frost Giant Dragon."

A hint of smugness flashed in her eyes before she continued, "When using Frost Dragon Wings, all attributes are increased by 50%, all ice-attribute attacks are increased by 100%, and constitution, strength, and defense are greatly enhanced. Moreover, as the age of the External Soul Bone increases, the amplification percentage can continue to rise. The maximum is 100% amplification of all attributes and 200% amplification of all ice-attribute attacks."

"In addition, the Frost Dragon Wings also provide a Soul Bone Skill, Dragon Scale Shield. Just like the armor skill of the Frost Giant Dragon earlier, it condenses into a layer of crystal-clear ice armor on my body. The ice armor grants me extremely high defensive capabilities, and its current strength is already enough to withstand a full-force attack from Soul Emperor level. As the age of the External Soul Bone increases, the strength of the ice armor will continue to improve."

Tang San felt an indescribable sense of relief upon hearing this.

This trip to the Frozen Forest, though arduous, was incredibly rewarding.

The Fifth Soul Ring and External Soul Bone of the 20,000-year-old Frost Giant Dragon more than doubled Shui Bing'er's strength, making her a completely transformed person.

Frost Dragon Wings greatly enhance her mobility on the battlefield.

The Dragon Scale Shield greatly enhances her survivability.

Her Fifth Soul Skill, Ice Phoenix Breath, greatly enhances her explosive power.

Attack, defense, and speed are all comprehensively improved.

"It was all worth it to persevere through this ordeal."

Tang San said sincerely, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

From the Frozen Forest to the Far North, from the Far North to this mountain range, from the mountain range to the icy valley, they traveled for nearly two months.

They trekked through mountains and across ice, endured several fierce battles, narrowly escaped death many times, and suffered countless hardships.

But in retrospect, this adventure was well worth it.

Shui Bing'er tiptoed and kissed Tang San on the cheek.

Her lips were cool and soft, like a snowflake falling on her face.

Tang San smiled, put his arm around her waist, and kissed her on the forehead.

"I want some too! I want some too!"

Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and Ye Lingling ran over and each kissed Tang San on the cheek.

Tang San opened his arms and embraced the four girls, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

"Let's rest a bit, then set off back. Along the way, we'll gradually help Bing'er practice and master the Frost Dragon Wings."

After Tang San finished speaking, everyone nodded.

The five turned around and slowly walked out of the icy valley, following the path they had come from.
