Self-Condensing a Soul Ring? Fusing the Ice Dragon Wings

Lu Yuan left the Spirit Hall Branch with a certificate and returned to his residence in Notting City.

It was a two-story building with thick stone walls and a small courtyard outside.

Standing in the spacious courtyard, Lu Yuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and summoned the Ice Dragon King, his second martial soul.

A massive dragon phantom loomed behind him.

The giant dragon had golden horns like a crown upon its head. Its wings spread wide, icy-blue dragon scales gleaming with cold light, while its dragon eyes were as frigid and desolate as ice.

An extremely cold dragon's might spread outward, instantly coating the flowers, grass, and stones of the courtyard wall in a layer of frost.

Under the influence of this power,

Lu Yuan's hair turned icy blue at a visible speed.

Every flaw on his face faded away.

His once ordinary appearance became exceptionally handsome and refined.

Yet there was none of the softness of a pretty face. Instead, his brows carried an air of heroic vigor.

His eyes turned into golden dragon eyes, and within them hid a dragon.

"Is this the Ice Dragon King? It's truly... mesmerizing."

Feeling the surging power within his body, Lu Yuan comfortably spread his arms and closed his eyes.

Just then, a bone-piercing chill suddenly surged up around him.

A Soul Ring rose from the ground and slowly formed around his legs.

"Is this a Soul Ring? I can actually condense a Soul Ring myself? And why is this Soul Ring this color?"

Lu Yuan was stunned at the sight.

It was an icy-blue-and-gold Soul Ring, and its age could not be determined.

Lu Yuan carefully sensed it.

He had obtained two soul skills.

Dragon Dance.

Attack and speed both increased by 100%. It could stack continuously up to six times, with a maximum increase of 600%.

Extreme Cold Ice Blade.

It ignored all defenses and inflicted massive damage.

"Ridiculous."

Lu Yuan's mouth twitched slightly. He had not expected to gain these two skills.

It seemed that the Ice Dragon King martial soul was extremely special. It probably did not need to hunt soul beasts in the forest and could condense Soul Rings on its own.

He just did not know whether there would be any prerequisites for condensing Soul Rings later on.

However, those were not things he needed to consider right now.

For now, he only needed to wait for Tang Wutong to bring him his External Soul Bone.

"I wonder what Tang Wutong, the girl who turned Huo Yuhao into a devoted lapdog, looks like."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

He withdrew the Ice Dragon King martial soul.

The chill permeating the surroundings slowly faded, and the frost covering the courtyard gradually melted away.

The Ice Dragon King's Soul Ring had raised his soul power to level eleven.

He still needed to obtain a Soul Ring for the Sky-Propelling Spear.

Absorbing Soul Rings dropped by dead soul beasts would definitely raise his soul power more than condensing them himself.

However, he had no intention of going to the nearby Soul Hunting Forest.

The Soul Hunting Forest was filled with low-level soul beasts, and the soul skills he could obtain there would not be useful.

The soul beasts of the Great Star Dou Forest were his first choice.

It was simply too dangerous, so he still had to wait for Tang Wutong.

While waiting, Lu Yuan found the meditation method left behind by his parents and immersed himself in cultivation.

Although this meditation method was extremely crude, with his talent and aptitude, his cultivation speed was still quite impressive.

Moreover, during cultivation, he optimized the meditation method somewhat.

This made his cultivation efficiency even higher!

In the blink of an eye, a day passed.

Knock, knock, knock—

A sudden knock sounded from outside the courtyard.

Joy flashed through Lu Yuan's eyes. He headed straight for the courtyard and pushed open the gate.

A woman stood outside the gate, with a slender figure and peerless beauty. She wore a long blue dress, and every inch of her exuded noble grace.

"Hello, Master. I am Tang Wutong."

The woman outside blinked, her voice gentle.

"M-Master..."

That form of address immediately left Lu Yuan stunned. He felt both inexplicably excited and somewhat awkward.

"Ahem. Don't call me Master in front of other people from now on. Just call me by my name. You should know what it is."

"And when there are no other people?" Tang Wutong could not help asking.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "When there's no one else around, call me My Lord. If you want, you can call me Master too."

"Alright, My Lord." Tang Wutong smiled softly.

Lu Yuan stepped aside to make room. "Come in. Don't stand outside."

"Okay."

Tang Wutong followed Lu Yuan into the reception hall and, at his gesture, found a chair and sat down.

Lu Yuan looked at the stunning woman across from him and asked, "By the way, did you bring that External Soul Bone?"

At his words, Tang Wutong took out a dragon wing soul bone that was icy blue throughout.

The moment the dragon wing bone appeared, a layer of frost rapidly formed on the ground beneath her feet.

"My Lord, this is the Ice Dragon Wings."

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up. "There won't be any problem if I absorb this External Soul Bone now, right?"

"This Soul Bone is only a hundred years old. You should not encounter any obstacles while absorbing it. I will stand guard for you."

Tang Wutong rose of her own accord and moved to one side.

"Good. Later, accompany me to the Great Star Dou Forest to hunt Soul Rings. I need to obtain the first Soul Ring for my Sky-Propelling Spear martial soul."

Lu Yuan smiled faintly, pressed the Ice Dragon Wings against his shoulder blades, and guided it with soul power. The Soul Bone slowly fused into his body.

An External Soul Bone could continuously evolve along with its host's soul power, possessing limitless potential. He had nothing to hesitate over.

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes, and a sharp gleam flashed through them.

He had successfully fused with the Ice Dragon Wings. His soul power had not increased much, but his physique had strengthened considerably.

At the same time, he obtained three Soul Bone skills.

They were three passive skills: Skyflight, Ice Dragon Body, and Frost Armor.

Skyflight: Spread the Ice Dragon Wings to gain the ability to fly, with extremely low soul power consumption.

Ice Dragon Body: All attributes increased by 100%, ice-element skill power increased by 100%, and ice-element affinity greatly increased. While in an icy, snowy environment, all boosts doubled.

Frost Armor: After being attacked, there was a 50% chance of freezing the opponent.

A mere hundred-year External Soul Bone possessed three passive skills. It could only be described as incredibly cool!

Just now, while fusing this Soul Bone, he had also sensed that the Ice Dragon King martial soul possessed the embryonic form of a domain.

Ice Dragon Heaven Realm!

Once activated, the surrounding environment would transform into a world of ice and snow.

The power of his ice-element skills would increase by 50%. Enemies within the domain would be eroded by cold energy, causing all attributes to decrease by 20%, their soul power circulation to become sluggish and obstructed, and ultimately freezing them into ice sculptures.

Combined with the Ice Dragon Body effect of the Ice Dragon Wings, this domain could even double his own boosts.

Lu Yuan smiled faintly. "Wutong, let's go to the Great Star Dou Forest to hunt Soul Rings. We'll try to return within seven days."

"Notting Academy starts in five days."

"Alright!"

Tang Wutong answered.

She activated the Radiant Dragon God Butterfly possession, wrapped both arms around Lu Yuan and held him against her chest, spread her butterfly wings, and shot out of the courtyard, flying directly toward the Great Star Dou Forest.

Lu Yuan felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Held like this by Tang Wutong, her embrace was fragrant and soft. Though it felt quite pleasant, he could not help tensing his body.
