• Mu En looked over the disciples and paused on Ji Lin, then began speaking before Bei Bei and the Elder Scholars knelt and wept.

Elder Mu arranged Shrek Academy’s succession, strengthened its focus on Soul Tools, and stabilized Bei Bei’s Bright Holy Dragon bloodline before sacrificing his life.

To keep cultivating and avoid danger, he decided to condense his first Soul Core with Snow Empress’s guidance, despite the difficulty this would create for future breakthroughs.

• Ji Lin agreed to condense his first Soul Core because his solidified Spirit Power made cultivation difficult and threatened his life, though Ice Empress warned that he might eventually need a third Soul Core.
• Snow Empress demonstrated her Soul Core and explained how Spirit Power could trigger spatial collapse to form a black hole that devoured energy, but could become unstable and explode.

Ji Lin condensed his first Soul Core, an Ultimate Ice core, with Snow Empress guiding him through the month-long process. He succeeded in forming it in his dantian as a phantom of the Heavenly Snow Woman appeared above his cabin.

• Ji Lin compressed and rotated his Spirit Power into a solid core that began drawing in world energy and Spirit Power.

• Wu Ming activated her Golden Crow True Body and shattered Ji Lin’s ice cones, but Ice Vines bound her and caused an embarrassing misunderstanding among the spectators.
• As Wu Ming prepared to retaliate, Ji Lin struck her shoulder with Emperor’s Palm—Great Cold Without Snow, suppressing her Soul Power and ending her Martial Soul Avatar.
