Ice Soul White Tiger! Ice Empress: This Is the Power of This Empress
The light from the magic circle suddenly contracted and then disappeared.
The ice surface returned to calm.
Dai Huabin was panting heavily, cold sweat dripping down his face.
Ice Empress stood opposite him, a complex emotion flashing in their emerald green eyes.
She could feel that an invisible bond had formed between her and this human.
That bond connected their lives.
Both sides share a life.
Ice Empress was silent for a few seconds, then spoke:
"The contract has been established?"
It's done.
Dai Huabin let out a long breath, his back soaked with cold sweat.
But he soon noticed something strange—the bone-chilling cold he felt had vanished.
It's not the Cold-Insulation Cover that's working.
He glanced down at the Cold-Insulation Cover hanging at his waist; his Soul Power was almost depleted, and the light from the array core was so dim it was barely visible.
Logically, under these conditions, the temperature of over -100 degrees Celsius in the Far North Core Area should be enough to freeze him into an ice pop within ten seconds.
But he stood there, breathing steadily, even feeling somewhat comfortable?
Dai Huabin reached out and removed the Cold-Insulation Cover, and also took off the level three heat preservation array on his chest.
The cold wind rushed into my collar and hit my neck, leaving only a slightly cool sensation.
Ice Empress stood three steps away, their emerald green eyes fixed on his movements.
Aren't you cold?
Dai Huabin wiggled his fingers to make sure there were no signs of them being frozen before answering:
"It's not cold. After the Blood Pact, I can feel an ice-attribute power flowing through my meridians."
He closed his eyes and probed inward with his spiritual power.
In addition to the original golden-white Soul Power of the White Tiger Martial Soul, there was an extra layer of very faint turquoise halo in the meridians.
The halo flowed slowly along the meridian walls, not interfering with the golden-white Soul Power, yet producing subtle resonance at certain points of intersection.
Ice Empress observed Dai Huabin's condition and was somewhat surprised.
She could sense the life force within Dai Huabin through the bond of Blood Pact; that life force was incredibly strong.
A human Soul Master who is not even level 40 has a life energy that is more abundant than that of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
And also mental strength.
During the Blood Pact just now, her soul rushed into Dai Huabin's spiritual sea. She thought that with the spiritual power accumulated over 400,000 years of cultivation, it would be like the ocean being poured into a pond.
Once inside, she discovered that the capacity of that spiritual sea far exceeded her expectations. It not only withstood the impact on her soul but even had room to maneuver.
The White Tiger Martial Soul isn't known for its spiritual power or vitality, so where did these things come from?
Ice Empress had a question in her mind, but she didn't ask it. She was the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, not a curious child.
Electrolux's voice, however, rang in Dai Huabin's mind.
"Huabin, your body's rejection reaction to ice attributes is zero." Electrolux's tone carried a hint of satisfaction. "It seems the Blood Pact is working even better than I anticipated."
"Elder Yi, I always feel that the Martial Soul has also changed." Dai Huabin responded in his heart.
"Of course it will change."
Electrolux's voice was calm and resolute.
"After you and she Blood Pact, your bloodlines are now connected."
The Martial Soul in this world is essentially an external manifestation of Soul Master's bloodline. She is a 400,000-year-old Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, the epitome of Ultimate Ice, and her bloodline traits have permeated your Martial Soul foundation through the contract."
"Try summoning your Martial Soul."
Dai Huabin opened his eyes. Opposite him, Ice Empress stood with their arms crossed, their emerald green dress motionless on the ice.
Ice Empress nodded slightly, a hint of curiosity in her emerald green eyes, though she would never admit to it.
Dai Huabin took a deep breath and circulated his Soul Power.
"White Tiger!"
He paused halfway through his sentence.
The aura of the Martial Soul emanating from the body has changed.
A golden-white tiger-shaped Martial Soul emerged from his body. Its size was the same as before, but its entire body was covered with a layer of light blue ice crystal patterns.
The markings started from the tiger's evil eyes on its forehead, spreading down its back to the tip of its tail and the claws on its limbs.
A thin layer of frost condensed on its claws and teeth, and the surrounding air cooled down drastically the moment the Martial Soul was released, causing the existing ice on the ground to freeze an inch deeper.
A very faint mist of ice swirled around the tiger's body, and with each breath, tiny shards of ice spilled from its mouth.
Dai Huabin stared at his Martial Soul for a few seconds.
This is completely different from the original White Tiger.
The original White Tiger Martial Soul was pure golden-white, with a strong power-type aura.
Now, this tiger possesses the extreme icy qualities of the Ice Empress. The golden-white base color remains unchanged, but the ice crystal patterns and frost aura have elevated the entire Martial Soul's level by more than one grade.
"Ice Soul White Tiger"
Dai Huabin blurted it out.
When he uttered those four words, he himself felt they flowed so naturally that it was almost unbelievable, as if the name should have belonged to this tiger all along.
Ice Empress's reaction was also very direct.
"Hmph!" She snorted coldly, slightly raising her chin. "See? This is the power I've given you."
His tone was brimming with undisguised arrogance.
Dai Huabin's lips twitched. This arrogant personality was indeed very Ice Empress.
He tried to mobilize the ice-attribute Soul Power within his Martial Soul, and an extreme chill surged from its core, condensing into a ball of azure ice in his right palm.
The surface temperature of the ice puck is so low that you can even hear the faint sound of moisture in the air freezing instantly.
"Ultimate Ice ..." Dai Huabin murmured to himself.
He could sense that the ice-attribute power was merging with the original power of his Martial Soul.
Although the fusion is still superficial, the upper limit of this Ice Soul White Tiger will be much higher as its cultivation deepens.
Electrolux's voice rang in his mind at just the right moment, but this time it wasn't addressed to him.
"Little scorpion."
Ice Empress's emerald green pupils turned to the slightly undulating silver mist in mid-air.
"After you and Huabin became connected by blood, the aura of the Soul Beast within you was suppressed by his human aura."
Ice Empress frowned; she felt the same way.
Electrolux continued:
"In other words, when you go to the human world in the future, almost no one will be able to tell that you are Soul Beast. Your aura fluctuations will be automatically corrected to the range of a human Soul Master."
Ice Empress was taken aback.
"Of course, god-level powerhouses are not included," Electrolux added.
Ice Empress remained silent for a few seconds, processing the information.
With her 400,000 years of cultivation, her biggest concern upon leaving the Far North was being targeted by human Titled Douluo.
If the aura of the Soul Beast is truly suppressed, then her freedom of movement on the human continent will be greatly increased.
This is an added benefit of the contract.
But...
"It seems my power has been suppressed by him?" The Ice Empress raised an eyebrow, his tone somewhat unfriendly.
