Your Soul Spirit's Name

For the three of them, with the addition of the Ice Empress as another source of support, that was only natural.

Old Long and the Snow Empress had also asked whether anyone else would be coming, but the Ice Empress replied that there truly was no one else this time.

So this time, they would have to rely more on Yang Jin himself, as well as whatever help the three of them could provide.

Over on Tang Wu Lin's side, he felt as though his entire body had been placed inside a forge and set aflame. The pain was indescribable.

The fusion process had also been extremely painful, but the agony in his body gradually faded with time.

However, the golden grid-like patterns mentioned before did not fade away this time. Instead, they quietly seeped into his skin.

The Blue Silver Grass also changed. Fine golden threads began to appear at its roots, stretching all the way to the tips.

It was as though bones had been infused into it, making it tougher. A faint blue halo and delicate golden lines flickered in response to one another, as if they were merging together.

Back on Wu Yang Jin's side, the Soul Spirit fusion was nearly complete. He opened his eyes, and when Na'er saw that, she excitedly pounced on him again.

"Brother, you finally succeeded!" Na'er said.

"Yeah, Na'er. Your brother has finally fused with his first Soul Spirit too."

"Brother, hurry and see what Soul Skills you have! Na'er wants to see!"

As he spoke, he released his Snow Enchantress (Snow Empress) Martial Soul and Soul Spirit.

Before the Ice Empress in his Sea of Consciousness could react, she was transformed into a tiny scorpion and manifested outside.

"Buzz!"

Following what he remembered, he unleashed the Soul Skill granted by this Soul Spirit.

A layer of diamond-like particles covered his arms. They looked smooth, yet were incomparably tough. That was precisely the characteristic of this Soul Skill.

Ice Empress's Claws made his hands and forearms exceptionally hard, covering them in a layer of diamond-like particles.

"Eh, Brother, what does this Soul Skill do?"

"Mm... it makes both of my arms extremely tough, just like the outer shell of this Ice Crystal Green Scorpion."

"So that means its defense is really high, and it's also great for close combat when fighting others!" Na'er said.

"That's right. Na'er is so smart," Wu Yang Jin said.

Just as he was excitedly examining his Soul Skill, someone knocked on the door of his home.

When he opened it, he found Mang Tian standing outside.

"Eh? Uncle Mang Tian?"

"Yeah, come with me. I didn't want to disturb you at first."

"Eh? What happened?"

"That child, Wulin... there seems to be a problem with his Soul Spirit fusion."

"Ah?! Let's go. Na'er, stay home and behave."

"Eh? Oh, okay, Brother."

With that, Mang Tian brought Wu Yang Jin over to see Tang Wu Lin. The moment he saw him, he noticed that Tang Wu Lin's Soul Spirit ball had fallen beside the bed.

The Grass Snake Soul Spirit inside had vanished. Tang Wu Lin lay on the bed with his brow tightly furrowed, his clothes completely soaked through with sweat.

Fortunately, he was slowly waking up. Wu Yang Jin could also sense that Tang Wu Lin's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, as well as the Blue Silver Grass itself, had undergone considerable changes.

More importantly, he could sense that Tang Wu Lin's Soul Power had definitely changed as well, though that was only to be expected.

"Eh? Yang... Yang Jin?" Tang Wu Lin said when he saw Wu Yang Jin.

"Wulin, are you all right?" Wu Yang Jin asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I actually feel especially comfortable!"

Then Lang Yue and Tang Zi Ran explained to Wu Yang Jin what had happened.

Tang Wu Lin raised his right hand and stirred his thoughts slightly. At once, the somewhat dim room brightened.

A white ring of light slowly rose from beneath his feet, climbing upward before rhythmically circling his body.

But it seemed that only Wu Yang Jin noticed the faint golden patterns on Tang Wu Lin's Blue Silver Grass, as well as on his Soul Ring.

The little Grass Snake had changed too. It had become a little longer and thicker, and was quite cute.

When Wu Yang Jin approached the little Grass Snake, it seemed much less frightened and shy than before. It suddenly crawled onto his hand.

"Eh, it looks like this Soul Spirit likes you too, Yang Jin."

"It really does."

Soon afterward, the little Grass Snake crawled back to Tang Wu Lin.

Wu Yang Jin touched the Blue Silver Grass again and found that it had become different. It was more resilient, heavier, and more golden patterns had appeared on it.

"Yang Jin, try pulling on that Blue Silver Grass."

"Eh? Is that okay, Wulin?"

"Ah, it's fine."

As he spoke, he possessed himself with the Snow Enchantress Martial Soul. Naturally, he restrained the cold aura, used Ice Empress's Claws to strengthen his outward force, and secretly used the Black Dragon Martial Soul at the same time.

Then, deliberately controlling his strength, he gave it a hard tug and discovered... it had not snapped. Though he felt he could pull it, it was far tougher than ordinary Blue Silver Grass.

At the same time, Tang Wu Lin felt the Soul Power in his body suddenly pulse before dropping by a noticeable amount.

Mang Tian tried as well, revealing his Martial Soul, but he could not pull it either. In the end, they concluded that Tang Wu Lin's Martial Soul had likely mutated.

This news was a tremendous blessing for Tang Wu Lin. After everything he had gone through, he had ultimately succeeded in the fusion, his Martial Soul had mutated, and he had advanced to become a Soul Master.

After that, before Wu Yang Jin returned home, they discussed names for their respective Soul Spirits.

"Yang Jin, what name do you think would be good?"

"Mm... your Grass Snake is golden and gives off light..."

"So it should start with 'Gold'?"

"Right! How about... Jin Yu?"

"Jin Yu? Good name."

Tang Wu Lin said.

"Then what about Yang Jin's Soul Spirit?"

Hearing this, the Ice Crystal Green Scorpion (Ice Empress) moved slightly. She was actually saying, I don't need a name!

"Then... let's call it Ice Empress!"

"Ice Empress?"

"Right. It's an ice attribute, and the name suits that cold feeling. Besides, my Soul Spirit somehow gives me the feeling of the word 'Empress.'"

"Eh? That's a pretty good name—imposing and simple."

After Wu Yang Jin and Tang Wu Lin finished discussing their names, Wu Yang Jin returned home.
