A Chance at Ultimate Light! Soul Power Leaps Up, Shocking the Ice Empress and Snow Empress

Zhu Lu reached out and grasped his wrist, feeling the even more abundant Soul Power fluctuations within him, before letting go after a while.

"Then I'd better hurry up too."

"No rush. Your foundation is already very solid; just proceed steadily."

Zhu Lu didn't say anything more and nodded silently.

The two stopped chatting and sat cross-legged facing each other, clasped their hands, and activated their Martial Soul Fusion. The auras of the Ice Soul White Tiger and the Ice Shadow Spirit Cat slowly rose in the room, and icy blue light flowed between their palms.

The efficiency of cultivating through the Martial Soul Fusion far surpasses that of meditating alone. Two streams of Ultimate Ice circulated repeatedly within his body.

The two continued their cultivation until late at night, when Dai Huabin was the first to exit the cultivation state.

It wasn't because of fatigue, but because Elder Yi, who hadn't appeared for a long time, had shown up.

Since Elder Yi helped Snow Empress and Zhu Lu form a contract, Electrolux has remained in slumber, repairing his damaged divine consciousness.

Just then, Electrolux's voice echoed through the Spiritual Sea.

"Huabin."

Dai Huabin's consciousness sank into the Spiritual Sea, where he conversed with Electrolux:

"Elder Yi, you're awake?"

"The place you went to before..."

Electrolux's phantom tilted its head slightly.

"The vitality and light emanating from it are extremely abundant, almost permeating to the edge of your Spiritual Sea. What is that place?"

Dai Huabin immediately realized it was the Golden Tree.

When he went to the Sea God Pavilion to meet Mu En, the Sea God Pavilion was built inside the Golden Tree. The Golden Tree was Shrek Academy's most prized possession, gathering a significant portion of the life force of the entire continent.

"That's the Sea God Pavilion, built inside an ancient tree called the Golden Tree."

Dai Huabin explained slowly,

"The Golden Tree is the foundation of this academy, gathering a large portion of the life force of the entire continent."

Electrolux remained silent for a few seconds, surprised that Shrek Academy possessed such a treasure.

Electrolux's phantom paced back and forth in the mental space.

"Huabin, do you know the essence of the Life Gold?"

"The purest embodiment of life force."

"That's right." Electrolux stopped in his tracks.

"The Life Gold needs the nourishment of life force to continue to function. The Eye of Life within you has only developed a small portion of its functions, largely due to a lack of sufficient life force supply."

Dai Huabin's heart skipped a beat.

"You mean..."

"If one can meditate and cultivate near that Golden Tree, the life force emitted by the Golden Tree will be automatically absorbed by the Life Gold, accelerating the growth of the Eye of Life."

"Moreover, your White Tiger Martial Soul already possesses the bloodline of the Light attribute, which might be able to help your White Tiger Martial Soul evolve again, since your Ice attribute is essentially borrowed from external sources."

"And if the White Tiger Martial Soul evolves into the ultimate light of this world, your strength and talent will be enhanced once again."

Electrolux paused, then continued,

"Moreover, for me, that concentration of life force can also help me further restore my consciousness."

Dai Huabin was shocked. Hearing Elder Yi's words, there really was a way to evolve one's Martial Soul towards the Ultimate Light. This was amazing!

"Yes, Elder Yi, I understand," Dai Huabin replied in the mental space. "Shrek Academy previously gave me the opportunity to meditate inside the Golden Tree."

Electrolux nodded slightly. "Alright, then come and wake me next time you enter the Golden Tree."

Then he paused for a moment.

"I also felt what you realized today."

Dai Huabin awaits his evaluation.

"To condense conviction into combat skills is something only truly gifted individuals can achieve. You're on the right track."

Electrolux spoke calmly.

"However, there is one thing to note... The stronger this kind of belief-based combat technique, the greater the consumption of the user's mental energy. With your current level of mental energy, using it at full power once will consume a huge amount of mental energy."

"Okay, I understand," Dai Huabin replied.

"Okay, go and rest."

Electrolux's phantom sank back into the depths of the Spiritual Sea, returning to silence.

Dai Huabin withdrew his consciousness from the Spiritual Sea and opened his eyes.

Zhu Lu had finished her cultivation and was sitting quietly opposite him, waiting for him.

"Is something the matter?" she asked.

Dai Huabin nodded:

"Elder Yi just told me that the vitality of the Golden Tree is crucial to the growth of the Life Gold. If one can meditate and cultivate near the Golden Tree, the development speed of the Eye of Life will be greatly increased."

Zhu Lu thought for a moment and asked, "When do you plan to go? Xuan Zi mentioned that you have a chance to meditate at the Golden Tree, right?"

Dai Huabin thought for a moment before speaking:

"I have just broken through to the next level. I will go to the Sea God Pavilion after I have consolidated my cultivation."

Zhu Lu nodded, and then the two continued to cultivate their Soul Power through the Martial Soul Fusion.

The dorm room next door.

Snow Empress sat cross-legged on the bed, her white dress spread out along the edge, her long white hair hanging down her back. Ice Empress curled up on another bed, her emerald green twin ponytails limply draped beside her pillow, hugging a cushion and lost in thought.

Neither of them was asleep.

Suddenly, Snow Empress's brow twitched slightly.

Ice Empress sat up almost simultaneously, their orange-gold pupils suddenly contracting.

"You felt it?" Snow Empress spoke first.

"Hmm." Ice Empress jumped up from the bed. "The fluctuations coming from Huabin's bloodline... his Soul Power has increased again?"

Snow Empress did not answer, but closed her eyes and carefully sensed through the Blood Pact with Zhu Lu.

A moment later, she opened her eyes.

"Level 47."

Ice Empress was stunned, and exclaimed in shock:

"Wasn't he level 45 before? He went to the Sea God Pavilion this afternoon and came back at level 47?"

Snow Empress nodded.

Ice Empress stood there, hands on hips, unsure what to say.

"What exactly did he do at the Sea God Pavilion?" Ice Empress muttered.

Snow Empress shook her head. "I don't know. Zhu Lu's emotions are very calm, so she shouldn't have been stimulated by any external force."

Immediately, Snow Empress closed her eyes again, her mind preoccupied with something else.

Dai Huabin is so young, yet he's already in the 47th grade.

Based on the cultivation progress of human Soul Master, this speed can no longer be described as genius.

More importantly, he also possesses the Ultimate Ice attribute, Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, the Eye of Life, and ice-type domain Soul Skill taught by her and the Ice Empress respectively.

Dai Huabin's potential for growth may be even higher than she initially predicted.

A very subtle feeling welled up in Snow Empress's heart.

I can't say whether I felt relieved or something else.

Snow Empress frowned and suppressed the thought.

"Alright, go to sleep."

Ice Empress snorted, burrowed back into bed, rolled over while hugging the cushion, and muttered to herself:

"Level 47, I wonder when he'll reach Soul Emperor. That would make it easier for me to use my ice-type Soul Skill..."

Snow Empress ignored her.

The room quieted down, with only the sound of the night wind seeping in through the cracks in the window.
