Under the support of Wang Xiao's abundant Soul Power, Xu Zihuang spent roughly half an hour consuming and refining three jade bottles of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Paste in succession.

He could clearly feel warmth coursing through his entire body, every limb and bone suffused with that heated aura.

Emerging from his cultivation state, he moved his body slightly. His bones immediately crackled like popping beans, and an indescribable comfort spread through him. The Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Paste had comprehensively enhanced his physical constitution. Not only had the endurance of his meridians and bones increased dramatically, but the strength throughout his body was now no weaker than that of a power-type Soul Master at his level.

Yaoyang, standing nearby, carefully examined Xu Zihuang's condition and realized that his earlier estimate had been far too conservative.

When he had reached the Soul Ancestor level in his youth, his Body Strength had been no better than this.

Outstanding talent was no longer enough to describe Xu Zihuang. It would be more fitting to say that he had been blessed by heaven itself.

Wang Xiao silently glanced at Yaoyang. In truth, he had not told Yaoyang about Xu Zihuang successfully fusing that Soul Bone. It was not because he did not trust Yaoyang enough, but because he had yet to decide whether to involve him in this matter.

If Xu Zihuang truly had such intentions, then their enemy would be the entire Sun Moon Empire.

The two men, each harboring their own thoughts, exchanged glances.

Just as Xu Zihuang was about to walk across the iron plating on the deck onto the ice, he suddenly remembered something. Turning around, he said to Meng Lang, who had been respectfully standing guard beside them, "Meng Lang, I remember that your martial soul is the Black-Striped Unicorn Whale. Your Soul Power has also just reached Level 40, and you still haven't obtained a Soul Ring, right? There happen to be two three-thousand-year Evil Spirit Orcas. The other Evil Spirit Orca's Soul Ring will be yours."

"Yes, Young Master!" Meng Lang froze for a moment before quickly coming to his senses and replying with a flushed face.

He had not expected Xu Zihuang to remember his circumstances. Such favor left him both honored and overwhelmed.

That was an Evil Spirit Orca's Soul Ring.

Those three thousand-year Evil Spirit Orcas had all been subdued by the group. Unlike the two powerful Ten Thousand Year Evil Orcas, there was no need to constantly worry about them self-destructing. With the Evil Spirit Orcas' formidable vitality, transporting them alive to the Yuenan Islands and selling them for several hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins would not have been a problem at all.

Taking in Meng Lang's expression, Xu Zihuang smiled lightly and stepped onto the iron plating leading to the ice. He had never been stingy toward his own people.

He also intended to cultivate Meng Lang.

Meng Lang had decent talent and was only seventeen years old. He was perfectly suited to become part of Xu Zihuang's foundation.

A biting chill seeped up from the ice, but Xu Zihuang seemed utterly unaffected as he steadily walked toward the three thousand-year Evil Spirit Orcas.

After fusing the external Soul Bone, Brilliant Dragon Claw, and his First Soul Ring, the vigor of his blood and vitality was at its peak. This slight chill was not enough to affect him.

Meng Lang followed excitedly behind Xu Zihuang.

"Young Master." Among the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Corps Soldiers guarding the three thousand-year Evil Spirit Orcas was Meng Lang's father, Meng Cang.

Xu Zihuang smiled and nodded to Meng Cang. "Old Meng, there's no need to keep the other three-thousand-year Evil Spirit Orca imprisoned either. It's just right for Meng Lang to absorb."

Upon hearing Xu Zihuang's words, Meng Lang raised his head to look at his father. Seeing Meng Cang's increasingly gloomy expression, he lowered his head awkwardly.

After taking a deep breath, Meng Cang ultimately said nothing more.

For one thing, he could not defy Xu Zihuang's wishes. For another, he had his own selfish motives. An Evil Spirit Orca's Soul Ring was a perfect match for their family's inherited Black-Striped Unicorn Whale martial soul. It was simply inconvenient for him to bring it up himself. The Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Corps was currently in need of funds, and he did not want everyone to lose several hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins just for his son.

Now that Xu Zihuang had brought it up himself, he had struck directly at Meng Cang's innermost thoughts.

While feeling deeply guilty, Meng Cang also came to acknowledge Xu Zihuang even more.

After all, who would not like a ruler who was both caring and generous toward his subordinates?

Xu Zihuang came before the massive head of one of the three-thousand-year Evil Spirit Orcas. Its entire body had been frozen within solid ice, with only the blowhole atop its head exposed so it could continue breathing.

One of the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Corps Soldiers understood and handed him a barbed Soul Guide Spear. It was somewhat similar to the Whaling Spears used by whaling crews in the Ice Sea along the Sun Moon Empire's northern frontier.

"Young Master, pierce through its blowhole to swiftly extinguish its life."

Xu Zihuang did not question it. The Evil Spirit Orca was a powerful Soul Beast, its hide as hard as iron. This breathing blowhole was its only weakness.

The spear plunged deep inside. Without changing expression, Xu Zihuang gripped the handle and slowly twisted it.

He did not even care about killing people, much less a Soul Beast inherently hostile to human Soul Masters.

Buzzz— The three-thousand-year Evil Spirit Orca let out a miserable hum. It did not last long before falling completely silent.

Rippling red light rose from its enormous corpse, while dense purple radiance condensed into shape, forming a noble purple Soul Ring.

Xu Zihuang appeared calm, but a trace of intoxication was impossible to conceal in his eyes. He liked the sense of fulfillment that came from gradually gaining strength.

I hope the Soul Skill I obtain won't disappoint me.

Sitting cross-legged on the ice, Xu Zihuang directly extended his left hand and used his Soul Power to summon the Evil Spirit Orca's Soul Ring.

The purple radiance seemed as though it had been waiting for a long time to finally find an outlet. The instant it received Xu Zihuang's pull, it surged toward him like countless rivers flowing into the sea.

A massive current of heat abruptly poured into his body. Before he could react, it began burning him like scorching flames.

Unlike when he had fused the Silver Scale White Whale's Soul Ring earlier, Xu Zihuang, now sitting with his eyes closed as he fused the Soul Ring, furrowed his brows tightly, his body unable to stop trembling.

An intense swelling pain flooded his meridians. If not for his firm will, he would have been overwhelmed in an instant.

As expected of an Evil Spirit Orca's Soul Ring. It truly is overbearing.

Xu Zihuang praised it inwardly and swiftly adjusted his condition.

In fact, this was the first time he had absorbed a Soul Ring through normal means in the truest sense. It was not that he could not withstand the impact of the Evil Spirit Orca's Soul Ring energy, but that he had not yet adapted to it.

Soon, his aura stabilized, making the several Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Corps Soldiers guarding him nearby sigh in relief.

Sure enough, there was no problem with the Young Master.

They had personally witnessed Xu Zihuang create far too many miracles. Without even realizing it, they had gradually developed a degree of blind trust in him.
