It was not until nearly an hour and a half later that Shui Bing'er's aura finally stabilized completely.
As six Soul Rings slowly revolved around her, a phoenix phantom seventy percent similar to Little Phoenix appeared behind Shui Bing'er and raised its head, releasing a clear Phoenix Cry.
Shen Liuyu stared at the Ice Phoenix phantom strangely for a moment, then silently scratched her head in confusion.
She clearly remembered that Bing'er's phoenix had blue eyes before. How had absorbing a Soul Ring turned them red? It seemed to carry an additional trace of evil... strange beauty?
The six rings gathered together, then slowly withdrew into Shui Bing'er's body. Her ice-blue eyes gradually opened, filled with undisguised delight.
The others gathered around her as well. Shen Hanyu reached out and gently pulled Shui Bing'er to her feet before saying with a smile, "Looks like the results are pretty good. Your Soul Power has directly reached level sixty-three. It seems the mutated Abyssal Ice Demon Flood Dragon was indeed of considerably higher quality, and it was also compatible with your Martial Soul..."
Shui Bing'er nodded happily and said, "That's right. My Sixth Soul Skill is a large-scale, lock-on group attack. It can lock onto up to eight targets at once, or I can condense it into a single-target lock-on attack. With the power of that strike, I'm confident I can kill a Soul Sage-level Battle Soul Master head-on. It's my strongest Soul Skill so far..."
Shen Hanyu nodded, then glanced up at the ice-and-rock dome that was about to collapse and said softly, "This isn't a place to talk anymore. Let's discuss it after we get out. Before long, the lava will flood this place, and the dome won't hold much longer either. This area will probably become a complete wasteland..."
