Pride of the Ice and Snow Two Empresses!
Snow Empress understood Wu Qi's feelings and, after the sparring session, took the initiative to say, "We are too familiar with each other's moves; there's no point in sparring any further."
"If you'd like a more intense sparring match, just let me know when we spar tomorrow."
After saying this, the Snow Empress's figure transformed into a wisp of snow and vanished without a trace.
Seeing that the fighting had stopped, the four members of the Qiangu Changkong gathered around.
"Wu Ge, haven't you broken through Level 99 yet?"
Wu Qi shook his head slightly.
For him, breaking through to Level 99 was not difficult. With the Sacrifice of the Azure Luan Divine Beast, his comprehension of his Martial Soul had already surpassed the God Tier, and even if he started improving from level 95, he would not encounter any obstacles.
As for the accumulation of Soul Power, that's even better. With the nearly one million years of cultivation of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King poured into his body, if Wu Qi broke through without any worries, he would already be close to level 100.
The reason I'm stuck at level 98 is to accumulate valuable combat experience by fighting opponents of higher levels, so as to prepare for the upcoming assessments and avoid getting completely overwhelmed.
Qiangu Changkong sighed, "Wu Ge really has foresight. If it were me, I would have already broken through to the next level."
The Spiritual Energy in the Core Circle of Far North is extremely rich. When Qiangu Changkong and his group cultivate there, they can advance one level almost every two months. If they combine it with Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Treasures, their cultivation speed can be much faster.
Now, Hu Liena and the other two are at the Peak Soul Saint, and it won't be long before they break through to Soul Douluo.
Furthermore, their strength improved significantly during this period. Initially, the three of them were somewhat at a loss when facing the Forty-Thousand-Year Ice Scorpion.
Even now, they are still more than capable of handling a Sixty-Thousand-Year -old Ice Scorpion. Against ordinary Soul Beast with slightly weaker bloodline power, even against Soul Beast with Seventy-Thousand-Year of cultivation, the three of them would have a chance to put up a fight.
Having received benefits, Hu Liena and the other two worked even harder these days, informing Wu Qi of most of the information about the Papal Hall. In fact, they were completely unaware that their words had already betrayed Bibi Dong.
After a pause, Wu Qi continued, "I will accelerate my cultivation next and may leave ahead of time. If you wish to continue cultivating here, please stay. Once you are finished, Senior Snow Empress will escort you out."
Qiangu Changkong hurriedly asked, "Wu Ge, what are you planning to do?"
Before he could finish speaking, Wu Qi shook his head, "I can't handle that matter alone without your help. I need to go on a long trip to fulfill my promise to Chairman Lou Gao."
He had been staying in the Great Ice Plains for the past six months and was unaware of the situation on the mainland.
However, he had some foresight into the situation and guessed that Tang San's Tang Sect might make some progress during this period.
Previously, the Tang Sect had already provided Hidden Weapons to the Star Luo Empire Army. If the Tang Sect expands during this period, its Hidden Weapons production capacity will inevitably increase. Without any preparation, even if Wu Qi becomes the Pope, he will not be able to come up with a better countermeasure against the Star Luo Empire Army armed with Hidden Weapons.
But don't forget the existence of Soul Tool.
Six thousand years later in the Original Space-Time, the Tang Sect had already reached its peak thanks to the Sea God Tang San and its cooperation with the Shrek Academy. Unfortunately, under the impact of Soul Tool, the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons weapons became useless and were completely eliminated.
If Huo Yuhao hadn't combined Hidden Weapons with Soul Tool, giving the Tang Sect a second spring, Tang Ya would probably have been the last Sect Master!
The advantage of Hidden Weapons is that even Ordinary Person can use them, as they have a sophisticated energy storage device inside and do not require Soul Power to drive them.
But don't forget that materials have a strength limit, and the pressure on the internal springs cannot be increased indefinitely. On the other hand, the power of Soul Tool, as long as its grade is high enough, depends entirely on the operator.
Hidden Weapons enable Ordinary Person to kill low- to mid-level Soul Master, weakening the Soul Master ' dominance on the battlefield. However, Soul Tool have revolutionized the development of Soul Master; even Support-Type Spirit Master can still defeat Battle Spirit Master by leveraging the advantages of Soul Tool.
The Sun Moon Continent has a long history of developing Soul Tool Technology, and its lineage has never been broken. However, times have changed drastically in the future, and high-level Soul Tool are likely to be very rare on the Sun Moon Continent now.
However, using low- to mid-level Soul Tool in the Douluo Continent would be enough to gain an overwhelming advantage in the upcoming wars.
The Snow Empress had sparred with the Evil Emperor in his early years and had been to the Sun Moon Continent. Wu Qi gained some knowledge of that continent from the former's words.
With his current strength, he is capable of crossing the ocean and reaching the other side without wasting much time.
Seeing that Wu Qi did not elaborate, Qiangu Changkong wisely chose not to press further.
Hu Liena and the other two were puzzled by the two's "encrypted call," but they didn't pay much attention to it.
With the space now available, they approached their respective opponents for sparring and training.
The next day.
Originally, Qiangu Changkong wanted to spar with Titan Snow Demon King, but the latter was extremely resistant, his huge body slumped on the Ice Plain, like a child who had done something wrong.
On the other side, Ice Empress and Snow Empress stood atop the Snow Mountain.
Ice Empress couldn't help but ask, "Xue'er, if we use that move, can he really withstand it? If we both push ourselves too hard, it could lead to unpredictable situations."
Snow Empress remained calm and said, "I can tell he's very eager to complete the crucial assessment."
"We are too familiar with each other's fighting styles; conventional methods of confrontation are meaningless. If I can lend him a hand, the Far North will have a better future; only after you go to the Divine Realm will he consider you a partner."
Ice Empress knew that everything the other party did was for her.
Unfortunately, her strength was limited, and she couldn't see through Wu Qi's abilities, so she worried that she might overexert herself.
As usual, Wu Qi's figure hovered in mid-air, waiting for the Snow Empress's arrival.
However, today, the Ice Empress also appeared alongside the Snow Empress.
Yesterday, he had already guessed the intention behind Snow Empress's words, and the appearance of Ice Empress further confirmed his guess.
"I need your reply," Snow Empress said.
Wu Qi nodded slightly and replied, "What you said yesterday, senior, must have been about the two of you working together to perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill similar to that of Soul Master, right?"
Snow Empress did not hide anything and readily admitted it.
Wu Qi chuckled and beckoned, "Then bring it on. I'd love to see the terrifying power of the two strongest beings in the Far North joining forces."
Ice Empress pouted and muttered, "They really deserve a beating."
The Ice and Snow Emperors hovered in mid-air. The Snow Empress's gaze sharpened. "We will go all out. Be prepared. Remember, we don't need to test each other."
As soon as she finished speaking, the figures of the Ice and Snow Emperors were enveloped by a ball of Soul Power light, and an extremely cold aura spread out from their bodies.
Those watching from the rear, including Qiangu Changkong, realized the situation was dire and immediately retreated dozens of miles.
"The Pride of the Ice and Snow Two Empresses!"
The Soul Power of the Ice and Snow Emperors merged, and the aura of Ultimate Ice froze the surrounding space.
