I Will Have Eighty-One Soul Rings?!

The terrifying Ice Element formed a massive domain, isolating all living beings from the outside world.

The power of ice and snow throughout the Far North gathered here. Ice sealed off hundreds of zhang, snow fell across a thousand li, and all Far North Lifeforms sensed the summons.

Even Mu En could not shatter that domain, but he had no intention of doing so anymore.

At that moment, Mu En held his waist as he leaned against an ice pillar, a bitter smile on his face.

"Qingfeng, does being handsome mean you can do whatever you want? Even a Soul Beast of this level is willing to give everything for you, and you've only met once?"

"If this old man had luck like yours, I'd probably be truly invincible beneath the heavens."

"Still, being able to teach someone invincible in the world isn't bad either."

He had thought the Snow Empress had come to take someone away and harm them.

He had never expected her to sacrifice herself!

A sacrifice was when a Soul Beast over a hundred thousand years old used a special method to offer its life to another, ignoring a Soul Master's absorption limits and rules.

Having lived for over a hundred years, this was the first time Mu En had seen a Soul Beast with several hundred thousand years of cultivation sacrifice itself outright without a word.

Even the Dragon God Douluo would have been shocked at this moment.

After all, Mu En's Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring had once been obtained through desperate effort and fortunate opportunities.

But Su Qingfeng only needed his face!

Even Mu En felt a little unbalanced. "If word gets out, countless Soul Masters will envy you, brat. But you deserve this treatment. Being handsome really is amazing."

Anyone handsome should understand this principle!

Elsewhere, Su Qingfeng was confined at the very center by the Snow Empress's domain. An iceberg rose abruptly behind him, and he sat upon that throne of ice, rain, and snow. The Snow Empress stepped toward him, one step at a time, her jade-white feet crystalline and translucent, until she finally stood before Su Qingfeng.

Under Su Qingfeng's bewildered gaze, the Snow Empress blushed. It felt as though something inside her was melting. He was simply too beautiful, like the Creator's perfect creation!

No, even the Creator would marvel at him.

Unable to resist, the Snow Empress kissed Su Qingfeng on the lips. Even she was shocked by her own action. Why had she done that?

Su Qingfeng's mind went completely blank. Holy shit?

I was forcibly kissed?

Was this part of the sacrifice too?

I've never heard of that!

The Snow Empress's lips were soft, yet cold.

Mu En covered his eyes and stamped his feet. "Ah, I can't watch, I can't watch! How can you treat my precious disciple like this? Ah! Humans and Soul Beasts never have a good ending, ah!"

At that moment, Ma Xiaotao, far away at Shrek Academy, was studying new recipes. As a fire-attribute Soul Master, she was quite suited to cooking; at the very least, she had a good grasp of heat control. Suddenly, she sneezed twice, her heart unsettled.

"Could something have happened to Little Martial Uncle? Probably not. With Martial Ancestor protecting him, who could hurt Little Martial Uncle? Could someone be talking badly about me?"

The first Polar Star lit up. A speck of ice and snow fell onto that star, then rapidly spread at astonishing speed, turning the entire Ice Extreme Star snow-white and incomparably pure. The power of ice and snow was completely activated.

If one looked closely, one would discover a girl of Peerless Elegance standing atop that Ice Extreme Star.

Su Qingfeng's First Soul Ring also gradually took shape.

A Soul Ring did not form all at once, but improved little by little.

The Snow Empress was afraid of harming Su Qingfeng, so she was extremely cautious.

But Su Qingfeng's talent and Martial Soul exceeded her expectations.

This was a place capable of housing Ice Attribute lifeforms and helping them avoid the Heavenly Tribulation. Once the Ice Extreme Star was activated, guided by her power, it directly created ultimate ice.

One hundred years... three hundred years... four hundred years, considered by Soul Masters to be the ideal Soul Ring configuration... six hundred years! This was still not the limit of the Ice Extreme Star and Su Qingfeng.

Seven hundred years, eight hundred years... As Su Qingfeng's First Soul Ring condensed, Mu En began paying close attention as well. This had already created the miracle of a First Soul Ring acknowledged by all Soul Masters! But with the Snow Empress sacrificing herself, such a miracle was only to be expected.

As it broke through even the limit of nine hundred years and began crossing the thousand-year threshold, Mu En grew tense. Absorbing a thousand-year Soul Ring on the first try was absolutely a bold act.

In the end, the thousand-year Soul Ring condensed as well. A purple Soul Ring shone upon Su Qingfeng's Ice Extreme Star, looking incredibly cool.

Moreover, the Soul Ring added by the Snow Empress was bound to be a growth-type Soul Ring. It could evolve along with Su Qingfeng's level, eventually becoming a red Soul Ring or one of even higher grade.

Mu En did not dare imagine how shocking it would be one day, when Su Qingfeng's nine Polar Stars shone in nine colors, supported by nine Soul Rings.

"Why did you do this?"

Su Qingfeng could communicate with the Snow Empress's soul, which resided upon the Ice Extreme Star in his Sea of Consciousness. In Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's words, perhaps this was the Wisdom Soul Ring.

"You mean the decision to sacrifice myself?"

"Yes. You're a high-cultivation Soul Beast, while I'm only an ordinary person with ten levels of Soul Power. We've only met once. Wasn't this a little hasty?"

Su Qingfeng nodded. Though he had received the Snow Empress's power, he still found it strange.

The last time he had entered his Sea of Consciousness was when his senior brother Yan Shaozhe had helped him awaken his Martial Soul. This time, it was the Snow Empress who had brought him powerful spiritual power and guided him inside.

At that moment, his Sea of Consciousness was also affected by the Ice Extreme Star. Snowflakes constantly drifted down, the ground had turned into a blanket of white, and only that Ice Extreme Star shone most brilliantly in the sky, bringing him exceptionally pure Ice Element power.

In such an environment, it would be difficult for others not to consider him the Child of Ice.

Hasty?

The Snow Empress smiled with breathtaking beauty. "This was not a hasty decision. First, you are very handsome. Like the other ice-and-snow lifeforms, I am very willing to be with you. Since I was born, you are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. You make me want to protect you and stay with you forever."

"Second, you may not know this, but we Soul Beasts encounter a Heavenly Tribulation every hundred thousand years. I am the Heavenly Snow Woman, and my cultivation has reached more than six hundred and ninety thousand years. I will soon face the seven-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation. I am not confident I can pass it safely. If I fail, even my soul may cease to exist."

"Finally, your Polar Star Martial Soul is a home that satisfies me greatly. The Far North also has a legend left behind by Lord Ice God: when the Child of Ice descends into the world, all ice-and-snow lifeforms must help them. I believe you are the Child of Ice. With your talent, you will surely become the strongest human in the future."

"You may call me Xue Er from now on."

The Snow Empress gazed at Su Qingfeng in a daze. Of course, the most crucial reason was still that Su Qingfeng was simply far too handsome!

"I can tell you another piece of good news. A single Polar Star can hold more than one Soul Ring. When you break through to level twenty-one, the Ice Extreme Star will be able to absorb another Soul Ring. In other words, after you break through to level ninety-one, the Ice Extreme Star can possess at least nine Soul Rings."

The Snow Empress's words sent Su Qingfeng's emotions rising and falling.

Was she praising me or insulting me? If she was insulting me, she said I was handsome. If she was praising me, she called me the best thing!

Still, upon hearing the Snow Empress say that the Ice Extreme Star could eventually possess at least nine Soul Rings, Su Qingfeng was shocked.

If the Ice Extreme Star could absorb nine or more Soul Rings, then the other eight Polar Stars could likely also have nine or more Soul Rings attached to them.

Then how many Soul Rings and Soul Skills could he possess in the end, at minimum?

The answer was eighty-one Soul Rings and eighty-one Soul Skills!

It appeared to be one Polar Star Martial Soul, but in reality, it was equivalent to nine ultimate Martial Souls!
