Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue Fight Over Li Qinglian?

An Ice Phoenix, and a fire phoenix.

Their Martial Souls had fused!

It seemed absurd, yet it also made perfect sense.

"All things under heaven counteract one another, yet also give rise to one another."

"Even ice and fire, which most defy common sense, are not completely opposed."

"It is only that maintaining this balance is extremely difficult. I never expected Li Qinglian to achieve it."

"But the fact that he could do it does not surprise me at all. A monster who comprehended Sword Intent at six years old might indeed be capable of grasping that balance."

Bibi Dong said softly.

The elders beside her also nodded to themselves.

All things in heaven and earth generated and restrained each other. A very, very long time ago, someone had proposed this idea.

Only, no one had expected someone to carry this principle into a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Ice and fire, phoenix and phoenix!

Even someone who did not understand Martial Soul fusion could sense the power of this Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

"Your Holiness. There is something strange about their Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Its power seems a little too overwhelming."

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan stared fixedly at that Ice Fire Phoenix, his heart shaken.

Such terrifying fluctuations were almost catching up to a Soul Emperor.

It was simply inconceivable.

"Ultimate Ice! Ultimate Fire!"

"These are ultimate attributes!"

"Hasn't our Spirit Hall proposed this concept in recent years? Ultimate attributes!"

"I think Shui Bing'er and Li Qinglian's current ice and fire attributes are ultimate attributes. Ultimate attributes are naturally a level stronger than ordinary attributes."

"This also explains from the side why Shui Bing'er, with only a Soul Venerable's cultivation before, could possess combat strength no weaker than a Soul Ancestor's."

Bibi Dong understood.

Seeing this scene, realization dawned on her.

"Ultimate attributes?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's face showed shock.

Ultimate attributes were a very important topic Spirit Hall had been researching in recent years.

According to Spirit Hall's research discoveries.

Even Soul Masters who awakened the same attribute had different attribute strengths. For example, the Six-Winged Angel possessed the fire attribute, and the intensity of its flames far surpassed that of ordinary Soul Masters. But compared with Li Qinglian's phoenix flames, there was still an enormous gap.

Clearly, attributes differed.

And Spirit Hall defined those attributes that had reached the extreme as ultimate attributes.

"In truth, our Spirit Hall still does not have an exact standard for defining ultimate attributes."

"The worshippers of Consecration Hall even intended to define Xue'er's angel flames as the ultimate of flames. Anything that reached or surpassed the intensity of Xue'er's flames would be considered the ultimate of fire."

"But now, I think there should be an exact standard for defining ultimate attributes. Li Qinglian and Shui Bing'er are the standard!"

"Any Soul Master who has reached an ultimate attribute must possess the strength to rely on that attribute to defeat an opponent ten levels above them. That is the standard!"

Bibi Dong's expression was grave, and her gaze toward Li Qinglian was filled with admiration.

The definition of a genius was simple, then what was the definition of a monster?

Perhaps only by becoming a kind of standard could one be called a monster.

From this perspective, Shui Bing'er and Li Qinglian were both monsters, a level higher than geniuses like Hu Liena.

Only, Li Qinglian was even more terrifying!

She had already begun to suspect that Shui Bing'er's Ultimate Ice was also related to Li Qinglian.

She did not believe that so many monsters could appear in the same era.

Clearly, Li Qinglian knew how to cultivate ice and fire to the extreme!

That was the most crucial thing!

On the other side.

Qian Renxue had also realized this point.

It was the first time she had ever seen fire stronger than that of her Angel Martial Soul.

"Grandpa. Could this be Ultimate Fire?"

Behind Qian Renxue, an elderly yet majestic figure had silently appeared at some point.

He wore a snow-white robe, its hem embroidered with intricate dark-gold patterns, as if the whole starry sky had been stitched onto his sleeves with golden thread.

White hair, like silver frost, fell over his shoulders. His face was gaunt yet dignified, his brow bones high, and his pale-golden eyes were as deep as a bottomless abyss, as if one glance could see through every illusion in the world.

Qian Daoliu.

Spirit Hall's Grand Worship, a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo, one of the few people in the world closest to a god.

He stood there without the slightest trace of aura leaking from him, yet within thirty feet of the VIP seats, every Soul Douluo-level expert instinctively held their breath. Even the flow of the air seemed to slow by a few degrees.

Qian Renxue turned her head. Her long golden hair slipped lightly over her shoulder with the movement, revealing the exquisitely graceful line of her neck. She looked at the old man beside her, and in those golden eyes that had always been calm and indifferent, a rare hint of childlike curiosity now surfaced.

This man was Qian Daoliu.

"Yes. That should be it. Rumor has it that Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er both became so powerful because of Li Qinglian. It seems the rumors are true."

"Li Qinglian must have mastered some method that can elevate a martial soul to Ultimate Fire. Xue'er, this is very important to you. If you can advance to Ultimate Fire, your path to godhood will be even closer," Qian Daoliu said, somewhat excitedly.

As Spirit Hall's Grand Worship, few people over the years had been able to make him this excited.

But because it concerned Qian Renxue, he had no choice but to take it seriously.

Originally, Qian Renxue had innate soul power at level twenty, and her compatibility with the Angel Martial Soul was perfect. On top of that, he had already decided to protect Qian Renxue during her trial.

This had already given Qian Renxue a sixty percent chance on her path to godhood.

And an ultimate attribute!

Once she succeeded, Qian Renxue's chances of becoming a god would rise by another twenty percent!

One had to know that even though he had already resolved to sacrifice himself for Qian Renxue, even if he staked this old life of his, he could only raise her odds by twenty percent at most.

In the end, becoming a god still depended on Qian Renxue's own effort.

Qian Renxue's talent was already high enough. If her angelic flames were elevated to the ultimate level as well, then the road ahead would almost be smooth sailing.

"So this is his trump card?"

Qian Renxue spoke softly, and the smile at the corner of her lips slowly bloomed, bright enough that people dared not look straight at it.

The tips of her brows lifted slightly, and her full red lips curved into a perfect arc. Her pearly teeth showed faintly, and in that smile, even the lamplight pouring down from the dome seemed to lose its brilliance.

She had always been extraordinarily beautiful, but on ordinary days, the divine pressure from her angel bloodline was too intense, making people dare only to look up to her, not to study her closely.

Only in this moment, when she smiled, did that divine radiance withdraw a little and human warmth spread forth, making her beauty breathtaking.

"My intuition really was accurate."

Qian Renxue withdrew her gaze and looked once more toward the clean-cut back of the young man on the arena. Her fair fingertips gently gathered before her, carrying a calm confidence that suggested victory was already within her grasp.

"Grandfather, if he can help me reach Ultimate Fire as well... then no matter what he wants, I will help him. If anyone wants to deal with him, I will also protect him completely."

Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Qian Daoliu's usually unruffled face. Though very slight, it was sincere relief.

"Hahaha... Xue'er, all these years you've been in Heaven Dou City, you've had little interaction with the talents of this continent."

"Li Qinglian is someone worth befriending. He will be of great benefit to you."

He paused, and his pale-golden gaze shifted slightly toward the chairman's platform at the other end of the arena. There, Bibi Dong sat upright on a high chair, her purple pupils also fixed unwaveringly on Li Qinglian.

"On your mother's side, I'm afraid she won't let go easily."

Qian Renxue lifted her chin unconcernedly, her long golden hair rippling behind her in a gorgeous sheen.

"Then we'll see whose hand is faster."

Her smile remained bright, but deep within those golden pupils, a touch of depth and sharpness quietly flashed past.
