Soul Emperor, The Far North Young Master's Answer

Even with an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul of such top-tier caliber, the speed at which Xue Bingchen increased his Soul Power was enough to make every genius in the world feel despair and envy!

The reasons for this were threefold.

First, naturally, was his unprecedented, peerless monstrous talent, along with the mysterious bloodline power within his body.

Second was his heaven-defying third soul skill, [Soul of the Snow Woman], and the personal guidance of the Snow Empress—a seven-hundred-thousand-year-old cheat code—which provided him with an endless source of motivation for cultivation.

Third, and most importantly!

As the young master of the Far North and the apple of the eye for both the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, Xue Bingchen had spent the last few years consuming top-tier heavenly treasures—the kind that outsiders couldn't even catch a glimpse of—as if they were mere jellybeans!

Millennium Snow Lotuses, Ice Marrow... with such resources piled up, even a pig could be turned into a divine beast!

Furthermore, every soul ring he absorbed far exceeded the maximum age limit that human soul masters could withstand!

Each time he absorbed a ring beyond his level, it brought a qualitative leap to both his body and his Soul Power!

All these heaven-defying opportunities combined to create the monstrous youth he was today.

Now, at only twelve years old, Xue Bingchen's true Soul Power Level had reached a terrifying realm that would make the teachers of any high-level Soul Master Academy in the outside world want to jump off a building in shame!

Level 68!

That's right, a twelve-year-old Level 68 Soul Emperor!

He was only two levels away from breaking through the Level 70 Soul Saint threshold and condensing his Martial Soul Avatar!

But if anyone truly regarded him as an ordinary Level 68 Soul Emperor, they would surely meet a miserable end.

Never mind Soul Saints; even if he were to face those Level 80-plus Soul Douluo powerhouses who had activated their Martial Soul Avatar, if it truly came down to a life-or-death struggle, the outcome would be far from certain, thanks to his Ultimate Ice attribute suppression and his endless array of terrifying soul skills!

If one were to ask why he possessed such terrifying cross-level combat power?

One look at his soul ring configuration, which was enough to blind anyone, would explain everything!

"Hoo—"

Xue Bingchen took a deep breath, his eyes instantly turning cold and sharp.

He stomped his right foot forward, slamming it heavily onto the peak of the snow mountain!

"Boom!"

An extremely terrifying Ultimate Ice storm erupted from him as the center!

The next moment, a stunningly beautiful figure, several zhang tall and as holy and noble as a goddess, bearing a seventy-percent resemblance to the Snow Empress, slowly emerged behind Xue Bingchen!

It was his top-tier Martial Soul—the Heavenly Snow Woman!

The moment he entered Martial Soul Possession, Xue Bingchen's aura underwent a earth-shattering change, as if he were a young god presiding over ice and snow.

At the same time, accompanied by a heart-palpitating fluctuation of Soul Power.

One ring, two rings, three rings...

A full six soul rings, radiating terrifying pressure, slowly rose from beneath Xue Bingchen's feet, pulsing up and down around his slender frame!

Purple, purple, black, black, black, red!

Two purple, three black, one red!

There were no hundred-year yellow rings!

He started directly with millennium-level purple soul rings!

And from the third soul ring onwards, they were all ten-thousand-year-level black soul rings!

As for the sixth soul ring, that massive crimson circle made the surrounding ice and snow pale in comparison.

Twelve years old, Level 68 Soul Emperor, a heaven-defying soul ring configuration of two purple, three black, and one red!

This was the report card submitted by the young master of the Far North, Xue Bingchen!

Purple, purple, black, black, black, red!

Six soul rings, like six gorgeous yet deadly star rings, pulsed slowly beneath Xue Bingchen's feet.

Especially that sixth soul ring at the end, which glowed with a heart-palpitating, eerie crimson!

The terrifying pressure unique to a hundred-thousand-year soul ring surged like a tangible tide, washing over the surrounding snows of the Far North wave after wave.

A purple-purple-black-black-black-red soul ring configuration!

The most conspicuous, most heart-shaking hundred-thousand-year red soul ring!

A Soul Emperor cultivation of Level 68!

When all these incredible miracles were concentrated on a mere twelve-year-old boy, the visual impact and mental shock produced were simply beyond words!

If any soul masters from the outside world were here, even if Bibi Dong, the Pope of Martial Soul Hall, were present in person, she would likely be so shocked by this scene that she would doubt her own life, or even suffer a collapse of her Dao heart!

Twelve years old!

Although Xue Bingchen possessed a tall, slender physique of 1.9 meters due to years of consuming heavenly treasures and the constant tempering of his Body Martial Soul, with muscle lines as perfect as an ancient Greek sculpture.

But no matter how mature and handsome his appearance, his true bone age was, in fact, only twelve!

A twelve-year-old Level 68 Soul Emperor—this had already shattered all cultivation records in the history of the Douluo Continent, leaving the second-place record holder in the dust by a distance of a hundred and eight thousand li!

However, regarding this cultivation level of his that was enough to shock the world, Xue Bingchen silently calculated it in his heart and gave the following assessment:

Satisfied, but not entirely satisfied.

"Sigh, the cultivation speed limitation of an Ultimate Martial Soul truly lives up to its reputation."

Looking at the ice-blue soul power circulating on his palm, Xue Bingchen couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.

Others only saw the boundless glory of him being a level 68 soul master at twelve years old, but they didn't know that if it weren't for the fact that the "Heavenly Snow Woman" Ultimate Ice martial soul was too overbearing, causing his cultivation speed between level 30 and level 70 to be forcibly suppressed and significantly slowed down by the laws of heaven and earth...

Relying on his foundation of heavenly treasures consumed like daily meals, as well as the massive energy feedback brought about by absorbing soul rings beyond his limits, his true cultivation level might have already reached the peak of a level 79 Soul Saint!

Even breaking through the level 80 barrier in one go to become a twelve-year-old Soul Douluo would absolutely not have been a fantasy!

"However, one shouldn't be too greedy. Level 68, combined with my heaven-defying combat power, is enough for me to walk sideways across the Douluo Continent even after leaving the Far North."

A confident arc curled at the corners of Xue Bingchen's mouth.

He was very clear about just how monstrous his current combat power was.

Although he was only a Soul Emperor on the surface, his set of top-tier soul rings that far exceeded the norm, coupled with the attribute suppression of Ultimate Ice, gave him terrifying capabilities to fight above his rank!

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as he was on his home turf in this icy, snow-covered Far North, even an average Soul Douluo in their eighties would absolutely be unable to gain any advantage from him, and would most likely be left behind by him in the wind and snow forever, turned into an ice sculpture!

"But, a Soul Emperor is, after all, just a Soul Emperor."

Xue Bingchen's gaze looked toward the direction of the outer perimeter of the Far North, where the human continent lay.

"In soul master cultivation, level 70 is a massive watershed. Only by breaking through to Soul Saint and unlocking the 'Martial Soul Avatar' will a soul master's various attributes and soul skill power undergo a true qualitative change!"

"Once I break through to level 70 and unleash the Martial Soul Avatar of the Heavenly Snow Woman... by that time, relying on all my trump cards, I should be able to barely bully those ordinary Title Douluo of the human world, right?"

Twelve years old, calculating how to bully a Title Douluo!
