Ultimate Attributes? Will My Cultivation Speed Slow Down?

This time, Bibi Dong stood guard beside Hu Bai. Lei Kuang could only keep the Lightning Power at a certain level, and the time had reached the originally agreed Half an Hour.

Yet Hu Bai showed no signs of waking up. By now, more than half of Lei Kuang's Soul Power had been depleted. If Hu Bai did not wake up within another half hour, he would have no Soul Power left to support him.

Bibi Dong simply watched Hu Bai, unsure what she was thinking. Ultimate attributes?

This was the first time she had heard of what Qian Daoliu mentioned, and it was a gap in her knowledge. It seemed that if she wanted to nurture Hu Bai better, she would have to read through all those books she normally had no use for. What if they proved useful someday?

Ultimate attributes—if they could grant Soul Masters such immense attribute advantages, then they definitely had fatal drawbacks.

Since an ability had advantages, it was bound to have corresponding disadvantages!

As a Theory Master, Bibi Dong understood this very well!

Take her Twin Martial Souls, for example. They had indeed given her tremendous advantages, but the drawbacks were obvious as well. Her physique had to be strong enough, and she had to resolve attribute conflicts, Martial Soul conflicts, even Soul Ring conflicts, and other such issues.

She might truly be lacking in other areas, but when it came to Martial Souls, she still had some experience. Otherwise, would all these years have been lived in vain?

From the looks of it, if Hu Bai wanted to advance the Lightning Element and Light Element into Ultimate Attributes, he would need a long period of accumulation and improvement like this. In other words, she still had time!

And the half hour was almost up. Lei Kuang's face was extremely pale, clearly showing that his Soul Power was about to run out. His voice trembled slightly. "Y-Your Holiness the Pope, my Soul Power is nearly exhausted. What should I do?"

Bibi Dong frowned. "Then break through your limit!"

Lei Kuang:

After entering the Ethereal State, Hu Bai felt that these elements were incredibly intimate. They looked like adorable little sprites, moving however he wanted them to. The Lightning Element and Light Element, in particular, seemed to be growing stronger and stronger.

Gradually, he opened his eyes. The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Martial Soul behind him retreated into his body. He first looked over himself and let out a surprised sound. Although he looked a little blackened now, there were no wounds on the surface of his body. Not a single injury.

Then he saw Bibi Dong standing nearby. He immediately got to his feet, somewhat curious. "Teacher, didn't you have something to take care of? Why did you come?"

Then he noticed Lei Kuang's extremely pale face and his heavy breathing. "Uncle Lei, wh-what happened to you?"

Lei Kuang inwardly rejoiced. Hu Bai had finally awakened in time. Shaking his head, he said, "It's nothing. I just used up quite a bit of Soul Power. What happened to you just now? It seemed like you entered some kind of state?"

Hu Bai shook his head. "I'm not too sure either. I only felt that, at some point during the body tempering, I suddenly became very relaxed. I couldn't feel the pain of the tempering anymore, and then the Lightning Element and Light Element became extremely active."

As he spoke, Hu Bai looked at Bibi Dong and voiced the doubt in his heart. "Teacher, it feels like my Lightning Element and Light Element have become stronger. I had this feeling some time ago, and I felt it again today. I thought it was just an illusion. Do you know why?"

Bibi Dong said nothing. She gave Lei Kuang a look, telling him to leave first.

After Lei Kuang left, Bibi Dong waved her hand and brought Hu Bai back to the Pope's Palace. Once they were seated, she explained, "This probably isn't your imagination. Although I don't know what the state you entered is called, one thing is certain: after that, the Lightning Element and Light Element around you kept pouring into your body and your Soul Rings.

"In my perception, the purity of the Lightning Attribute and Light Attribute contained within your two Soul Rings is increasing! The Attribute Power contained within the Thunderclap Nether Vine and Bright Unicorn was already among the finest.

"Qian Daoliu came by just now as well. He said that if this continues, the Lightning Attribute and Light Attribute controlled by your Martial Soul may very well advance into the Legendary Ultimate Attribute in the future!

"As for Ultimate Attributes, neither he nor I currently know much about them. Spirit Hall may have Ancient Books passed down from ancient times. I'll tell you more about it in a few days."

Ultimate Attributes?!

In this era, no Soul Masters with Ultimate Attributes had ever appeared. Even Ma Hongjun, who underwent two evolutions later on, did not count as possessing true Ultimate Attributes.

Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu did not know what Ultimate Attributes were, but he did!

If a Martial Soul possessed an Ultimate Attribute, then it would possess the most extreme suppressive power over that attribute. Against Soul Masters with the same attribute, it could easily fight across ranks!

That's right—not across levels, but across ranks!

For example, a Soul Grandmaster could completely suppress a Soul Elder, and a Soul Saint could suppress a Soul Douluo!

However, the drawbacks of Ultimate Attributes were obvious as well. After Soul Power reached Level Thirty, cultivation speed would drop drastically. It was said to decline geometrically, continuing until Level Seventy. Once Level Seventy was reached, however, cultivation speed would become several times faster than that of Soul Masters with the same talent, like riding a rocket.

But he had a question. His Martial Soul was actually a Spirit Martial Soul, not an Elemental Martial Soul. It merely possessed the power to control elements. If the elements he controlled became ultimate, would his cultivation speed slow down as well?

If it did slow down, then he truly had to prepare in advance. After all, aside from the Space Element, which might be unable to advance into an ultimate attribute, all his other attributes could possibly become ultimate.

And the more Ultimate Attributes he possessed, the slower his cultivation speed would become later on, wouldn't it?

In that case, he had to make plans for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye as soon as possible. He had originally planned to visit it while carrying out a mission after reaching Level Thirty, but now he would have to move it up!

"Alright, go back and rest for today. From now on, undergo Lightning Body Tempering once every three days. If you temper your body every day, I'm afraid your Meridians won't be able to handle it. Too much is as bad as too little, understand?" Bibi Dong solemnly instructed Hu Bai.

"Mhm, I understand."

"One more thing: tell me when something happens. Don't make your own decisions like last time. As your Teacher, would I harm you? If I find out that you've been secretly trying Lightning Body Tempering on your own, then you..." Bibi Dong looked at Hu Bai with a very dangerous expression.

Hu Bai:

Bibi Dong really knew how to hold a grudge. That incident last time...

Fine, he had to admit one thing: Bibi Dong was actually quite good to him, her Disciple, at least for now.

Although that was because his talent was fairly good, if he wanted others to value him, he naturally needed some capital. Now, whenever he wanted to try something, he truly did not need to hide it from Bibi Dong. She might even offer him some assistance.

Of course, there was one exception. He could not tell her about the Immortal Herbs for the time being!
