A Drop of Water Reshapes a Body, Dugu Yan's Martial Soul Evolves to the Extreme, Ice and Fire Dual Pupils Appear!

The boiling crimson magma and the azure spring water frozen with mysterious ice all solidified at this moment. Time and space seemed as though an invisible hand had pressed the pause button.

In the Livestream Room, all the comments vanished.

World's Number One Princess gaped, forgetting to type.

Is Jade Not Jade's hand holding the wine flask froze in midair.

Everyone believed Dugu Yan was dead. Within that utter stillness of extreme energy, her very existence had been completely erased.

Only Li Yifei still stood with his back to that deathly silent spring, calmly watching the wildly flickering virtual projection on his Wristwatch.

[High-level life energy infusion detected.]

[Target lifeform's cellular structural collapse halted. Reverse reconstruction beginning.]

[The two violent elemental energies of ice and fire are being forcibly assimilated and converted into catalysts for genetic reconstruction...]

"Assimilation efficiency is 99.8 percent, higher than expected."

Li Yifei gave an objective assessment in his mind.

"Looks like this so-called Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye is passable as an energy reactor. It's just that the mortals in this world are too fragile. Add a little extra material, and they nearly fell apart."

No one could hear his thoughts.

Just as the Chat Group fell into complete silence, the frozen image moved.

A rich emerald green, so dense it seemed impossible to dissolve, bloomed defiantly from where that drop of "Water of Life" had fallen!

It did not drive away the red and blue. Instead, it domineeringly dyed them!

The crimson spring water was stained with a green halo, becoming gentle and brimming with vitality.

The powers of ice and fire that had been devouring her flesh and blood were now forcibly suppressed by the green light. Then, in an unimaginable manner, they were guided into repairing and reforging her body.

The azure ice was plated with an emerald hue, exuding a restrained aura of life.

Then—

Crack!

A fissure split open across the surface of the frozen spring.

But it was not destruction. It was revival!

Endless life force surged wildly inward, centered on Dugu Yan's body!

"Mm..."

A faint moan passed clearly through the livestream's Soul Tool and reached everyone's ears.

It was not pain, but the comfort of long-awaited rain after a drought.

The Chat Group instantly exploded!

[World's Number One Princess: AAAAAAHHHHHHH! She's alive! She's alive! She didn't die!!!]

[Is Jade Not Jade: Holy shit! How is that possible?! Her life aura clearly disappeared just now! What kind of divine method is this?!]

[Is Jade Not Jade: That drop of water just now... what exactly was it? Some immortal medicine? No, even immortal medicine couldn't have such an outrageous effect!]

[Bunny Is So Cute: Wuwuwu~ That's wonderful~ Sister Yanzi is okay~]

[A Little Goose: So~ so warm~ Brother Yifei~ I feel~ I feel like I'm melting~]

Dugu Yan's fragmented thoughts were filled with intoxication and comfort.

She felt as if she were soaking in the warmest Mother River. The heart-rending pain from before had vanished without a trace, replaced by the ultimate delight of every cell cheering with joy!

Her body, which had nearly been destroyed by ice and fire, was being reshaped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The skin corroded by energy peeled away inch by inch. Her newborn skin was so delicate it seemed ready to break at a touch, as fine as the finest mutton-fat jade. Under the red, blue, and green radiance, it shimmered with an unusual glow.

Behind her, the phantom of her already evolved Jade Heavenly Serpent Martial Soul appeared once more.

This time, astonishing changes occurred across its serpentine body!

Half of its once entirely emerald scales had been dyed Infernal Delicate Apricot's crimson, like burning rubies. The other half was covered in Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass's deep blue, like ten-thousand-year mysterious ice condensed into form!

The utterly opposing attributes of ice and fire had achieved perfect coexistence upon its body!

Inside Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong abruptly rose from her throne. She stared fixedly at the mutating Jade Heavenly Serpent in the image, her entire body trembling slightly from overwhelming shock.

"Impossible... This is absolutely impossible!" she muttered in disbelief. "Ice and fire cannot coexist. That is an elemental iron law! How could he make two extreme opposing energies coexist within a single Martial Soul?"

"What kind of theory is this? What kind of power is this? Could all of Spirit Hall's tens of thousands of years of research into Martial Souls have been wrong?!"

Her faith was violently shaken at this moment. It was not fear of power, but panic at having her entire system of knowledge completely overturned.

Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Qian Renxue had a different reaction. Watching that Martial Soul be altered so casually, she felt a chill rise from the depths of her heart.

"Modification... He's modifying Martial Souls!" Her golden eyes were filled with horror. "Like a craftsman altering a tool! What does he take Martial Souls for? A lump of clay that can be kneaded however he wishes?"

"I accepted Angel God's inheritance and endured countless hardships, yet all I did was inherit predetermined power. But he... he is creating entirely new rules!"

This power of creation made her tremble even more than an inherited divine position.

[Little Fox Demon: So... this is what true enhancement looks like.]

Hu Liena watched the scene, her heart filled with envy.

She suddenly felt that all the resources and teachings her teacher Bibi Dong had given her paled in comparison to a single casual drop of water from this man.

Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

Boom!

A massive pillar of light woven from crimson, deep blue, and emerald green shot violently into the sky from the spring, tearing through the mist above the valley and piercing the clouds!

Every Soul Beast in Sunset Forest prostrated itself on the ground at that moment, trembling uncontrollably.

A green figure suddenly stopped outside the valley. It was Dugu Bo, who had returned after leaving.

Feeling that terrifying aura, both familiar and unfamiliar—especially the powers of ice and fire mixed within it—he froze where he stood. Tears streamed down his aged face in overwhelming excitement.

"It worked... Yanyan... she really succeeded!"

He did not kneel. He merely stood there with his back straight, letting tears trail down his face as he used every ounce of strength to feel his granddaughter's rebirth.

The pillar of light continued for over ten seconds before slowly receding.

The spring water returned to calm, the boundaries between its sides distinct, yet now carrying a hint of harmonious unity.

Amid the swirling mist.

Dugu Yan floated quietly in the center of the spring.

She slowly opened her eyes.

What kind of eyes were those?

Deep within her left pupil, a cluster of crimson flames burned.

Deep within her right pupil, a deep-blue ice crystal condensed.

Red and blue intertwined against her emerald irises, forming a bizarre yet lethal beauty.

Ice and fire found their eternal point of balance within those emerald irises.

Dugu Yan's consciousness awakened from chaos. The first thing she saw was the azure sky above the valley, torn open by the tri-colored pillar of light.
