Ice and Fire Body Tempering Successful

Yue Guan hurriedly explained, "One of these two plants is extremely cold, and the other is extremely hot. Even approaching either one alone will injure the body, let alone consuming them."

"If they aren't handled properly, the cold poison and fire poison will erupt at the same time. The consequences will be extremely serious."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Chen, his tone rarely this grave.

"Xiao Chen, are you sure you want to choose them?"

Bibi Dong frowned slightly. "These aren't ordinary immortal herbs. Yue Guan said it too—they're poisonous herbs."

Lu Chen nodded. "I know."

He looked at the two immortal herbs still growing beside the spring, his tone utterly certain. "But my martial soul tells me I can absorb them."

Hearing that, Bibi Dong fell silent for a moment.

His martial soul had told him again.

From Star Dou Forest to Sunset Forest, from choosing spirit rings to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Lu Chen had mentioned this kind of perception from his martial soul more than once.

Even Bibi Dong could not help feeling doubtful. Was a god-level martial soul truly that miraculous?

Yet she also had to admit that Lu Chen had never once been wrong in his judgment.

This so-called martial soul perception of his had led them to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and had also helped them find so many immortal herbs.

Now that he dared to choose the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, he probably was not acting on a momentary impulse.

Bibi Dong looked at him for a while, then finally nodded.

"Since you've already decided, go ahead."

Her voice remained calm, but carried a hint of warning. "Be careful."

Lu Chen said seriously, "I will, Teacher."

Yue Guan looked at him and could not help saying, "Xiao Chen, don't do anything reckless. These two things aren't ordinary immortal herbs. If your body can't withstand them, the consequences will be very troublesome."

Lu Chen said, "Don't worry, Grandpa Ju."

Dugu Bo stood to the side, feeling just as shocked and suspicious.

Although he did not know the true value of these immortal herbs, after spending so much time near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he knew those two plants were absolutely not things to touch casually.

A child actually wanted to absorb the powers of extreme cold and extreme heat at the same time. That sounded more than a little insane.

But Bibi Dong did not stop him, and Yue Guan and Gui Mei merely warned him. This made Dugu Bo even more curious about Lu Chen's identity.

Lu Chen did not delay any longer.

The next moment, he released his martial soul.

Leugocyte Martial Soul Possession.

A powerful aura emerged from within him, and two spirit rings, one purple and one black, appeared beside him, slowly revolving around his body.

When Dugu Bo saw this scene, his eyes instantly narrowed.

A purple first spirit ring.

A black second spirit ring.

Originally, he had only known that Lu Chen was young yet possessed rank twenty-six Soul Power, which was already shocking enough.

But now, after seeing these two spirit rings, he finally understood that he had still underestimated this child.

How was this merely a genius?

He simply could not be judged by the standards of ordinary Soul Masters.

Dugu Bo could not help muttering, "This child... is extraordinary."

Yue Guan heard him and laughed. "You only realize that now?"

Dugu Bo did not retort.

Because he truly had been shaken.

Lu Chen paid no attention to their reactions.

After Martial Soul Possession, his physical strength rose rapidly, and Soul Power also began circulating within him.

He looked at the two immortal herbs beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then moved his feet and approached them directly.

As he neared the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, a bone-piercing chill instantly swept over him.

Even with Martial Soul Possession, Lu Chen could feel the cold energy trying to burrow into his body.

On the other side, the heat waves emitted by the Infernal Delicate Apricot were equally intense, as if they were about to burn the very air clean away.

These two forces, one cold and one hot, were each tyrannical enough on their own.

Lu Chen did not pause for long.

Following the method from his memories, he acted quickly and plucked the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot separately.

The instant the immortal herbs left the places where they grew, the two extreme forces immediately became even more obvious.

Yue Guan's expression changed slightly, and he could not help reminding him, "Quick!"

Lu Chen naturally knew he could not delay.

After taking the two immortal herbs, he rushed swiftly toward the central boundary of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The red and blue spring waters were clearly divided, and the central boundary was precisely where the powers of extreme cold and extreme heat held each other in check.

Lu Chen did not hesitate and went straight there.

The next moment, he swiftly swallowed the two immortal herbs.

After the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot entered his mouth, they almost instantly transformed into two completely different forces.

One was extremely cold, as if it wanted to freeze his blood solid.

One was extremely hot, as if it wanted to burn his meridians to ash.

The two forces erupted inside his body at the same time, colliding with each other and bringing an extremely violent impact.

Lu Chen's brows furrowed slightly.

If it were an ordinary soul master, they probably would have been unable to endure it by now.

But he had just absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul ring, and his physical strength far surpassed others of his level. In addition, the special nature of the Leugocyte Martial Soul itself meant that this power did not immediately destroy his body.

On the contrary, the powers of extreme cold and extreme heat kept clashing inside him, yet were tightly suppressed by his Martial Soul and body.

The violent power did not go out of control. Instead, as it continuously merged, it was gradually tempered, then transformed bit by bit into purer power that fused into his body.

Lu Chen could feel that his body was changing.

His bones, meridians, flesh, and blood were all being strengthened by this power.

It was not a simple increase in Soul Power, but a deeper transformation of the body.

Bibi Dong and the others stood on the shore, looking at Lu Chen in the center of the spring, each with different expressions.

Yue Guan had been somewhat nervous at first. After all, in his eyes, these two immortal herbs were far too dangerous.

But after watching for a while, he discovered that although Lu Chen was enduring the impact of extreme cold and extreme heat, there were no signs of him losing control. Instead, he gradually stabilized.

He could not help sighing. "He actually endured it."

Gui Mei said in a low voice, "He's done something again that others wouldn't even dare imagine."

Dugu Bo watched Lu Chen rise and fall at the boundary between the red and blue spring waters, his gaze growing increasingly complicated.

He now understood why Bibi Dong valued this child so highly.

If it had been any ordinary child, forget absorbing something like this—they probably would not even have dared approach it. Yet Lu Chen not only dared to, he had truly done it.

Bibi Dong looked at Lu Chen, and a trace of relaxation that was hard to detect appeared in her eyes.

Although she believed Lu Chen would not do anything he was not confident in, before she truly saw him stabilize, it was impossible for her not to worry at all.

Now it seemed that Lu Chen's judgment had not been wrong.

His Martial Soul could indeed help him absorb these two immortal herbs.

At the center of the spring, what Lu Chen felt was not entirely the same as what the outside world saw.

When he first swallowed the two immortal herbs, the impact of extreme cold and extreme heat had indeed been intense. But after the two forces gradually balanced inside his body, that violent pain instead began to disappear.

What replaced it was a warm, soothing feeling.

This feeling was very strange.

The power of ice and fire was clearly still circulating inside his body, yet Lu Chen did not feel uncomfortable. Instead, it was as though his body were constantly being nourished.

Every time the power flowed through, he could feel his body becoming even tougher.

Lu Chen relaxed slightly in his heart.

Ice and Fire Body Tempering had succeeded.
