Shui Bing'er's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring

It was a piece of ice-green Soul Bone, and the light was emanating from it.

The Soul Bone is shaped like Right Leg Bone, about one foot long, and is ice green in color, crystal clear, as if it were carved from a gemstone.

With a wave of her right hand, Shui Bing'er summoned the Right Leg Bone of the Condensed Ice Willow Emperor. As the Soul Bone drew near, Huo Lei felt a wave of relief wash over him, as if he were in a fresh, vibrant forest, with a rich life force wafting towards him, bringing him indescribable comfort.

"Bing'er, hurry up and absorb the Soul Ring!" Jin Shan reminded Shui Bing'er, who was mesmerized by the icy green light.

"Ah! Okay!" Jin Shan's voice instantly snapped Shui Bing'er out of her daze, and she quickly responded.

Shui Bing'er put away the Condensed Ice Willow Emperor Right Leg Bone, moved a few steps to the side of the pit, then sat cross-legged and began to meditate, mobilizing her Soul Power to draw the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring to herself and begin to absorb it.

Jin Shan looked at Huo Lei beside him and said considerately, "You brat, let's sit down and rest for a bit! It'll probably take Bing'er quite a while to absorb the Soul Ring of the 100,000-year-old Condensed Ice Willow Emperor."

Huo Lei nodded in response and sat down cross-legged next to Shui Bing'er. At the same time, he released the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, enveloping all three of them, including himself.

As soon as Shui Bing'er began absorbing the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, her body trembled, and her expression instantly changed from calm to solemn. Her long, beautiful, curved eyelashes trembled slightly. Huo Lei, who was sitting to the side observing, couldn't help but show a hint of worry on his face.

"Don't worry, brat, Bing'er will be fine. This girl has extremely high talent, and she's also taken the precious herbs you gave her. The Ultimate Ice has a restraining effect on all ice attributes. Not only has she been continuously absorbing the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow for over a month, but she's also been blessed with four high-quality Soul Bone. Her physical attributes have probably already reached the level of Titled Douluo, so absorbing Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring shouldn't be a problem. Even if danger arises, your master will intervene and ensure she doesn't get hurt." Jin Shan's voice rang in Huo Lei's ears.

Hearing Jin Shan's words, Huo Lei's tense mood gradually relaxed. He looked at his teacher Jin Shan, but Jin Shan was calmly resting with his eyes closed.

"Thank you, teacher." Huo Lei expressed his gratitude to Jin Shan using the "Sound Transmission."

As time went by, Shui Bing'er's condition gradually stabilized, and her beautiful face became more peaceful, but the beads of sweat on her forehead proved the pain she had endured.

It took Shui Bing'er nearly an hour to absorb the Soul Ring of the 100,000-year-old Condensed Ice Willow Emperor. The moment the eight Soul Ring— two yellow, two purple, three black, and one red—appeared, a radiant smile finally appeared on Huo Lei's face.

After the eight Soul Ring circled around Shui Bing'er a few times, she absorbed them all into her body. Immediately afterward, Shui Bing'er awoke from her meditation.

"Huo Lei, I did it!" Shui Bing'er excitedly stood up from the ground, rushed towards Huo Lei, hugged Huo Lei tightly, and kissed him on the cheek.

Shui Bing'er's enthusiastic gesture startled Huo Lei Huo Lei, but then a smile spread across his face as he said, "Congratulations, Bing'er!"

Jin Shan coughed lightly, and with a forced smile, said, "I didn't see anything."

Shui Bing'er blushed and quickly let go of Huo Lei's arms, standing there shyly, at a loss for what to do.

Huo Lei spoke up to ease the awkwardness, "Bing'er, what level have you reached now?"

Shui Bing'er's blush faded considerably, and she replied to Huo Lei, "Oh! After absorbing the Soul Ring of the Condensed Ice Willow Emperor, plus the energy accumulated from absorbing the two Sixty Thousand Year Soul Bone, my Soul Power has reached Level 84."

Huo Lei exclaimed in amazement, "This rate of improvement is too fast! If he absorbs the Right Leg Bone of the Condensed Ice Willow Emperor, he can at least increase his Soul Power by one or two levels, leaving me far behind."

Shui Bing'er smiled gently, "Without the precious herbs, Soul Bone, Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, and one- Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring you gave me, I would never have been able to catch up with your cultivation speed. If you had these opportunities, you would probably already be Titled Douluo."

"That's true." Huo Lei nodded in agreement.

"Bing'er, do you plan to absorb the Soul Bone of the Condensed Ice Willow Emperor now, or go back to the cave to absorb it?" Jin Shan asked.

Shui Bing'er replied decisively, "I want to absorb it now."

Jin Shan said, "Alright! Let's not delay, let's absorb it quickly!"

Shui Bing'er sat cross-legged again, took out the Condensed Ice Willow Emperor Right Leg Bone from her Storage Ring, attached it to her right leg, and began to meditate and absorb it.

Huo Lei once again released the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, enveloping the three of them. This time, unlike last time, he was no longer worried, only filled with joy.

Shui Bing'er absorbed the Right Leg Bone of the Condensed Ice Willow Emperor very smoothly, taking almost half the time it took to absorb the Soul Ring before. It only took half an hour to complete the absorption. The 100,000-year-old Condensed Ice Willow Emperor Soul Bone also brought Shui Bing'er a two-level increase in Soul Power, from Level 84 to Level 86.

After Shui Bing'er absorbed the Soul Bone, Huo Lei and the other two did not linger and immediately began their return journey.

When Huo Lei and the other two returned to the cave, Shui Bing'er shared with her companions the details of their hunt for the Condensed Ice Willow Emperor, as well as her level increase after absorbing the Soul Bone. An Jun, Xue Wu, and Yunxiang all showed expressions of shock, marveling at the speed at which Shui Bing'er had improved.

The Snow Soul Bear King remained calm about the death of the Condensed Ice Willow Emperor, as if he had expected it. However, he was filled with admiration for Shui Bing'er's rapid increase in level.

The group didn't cultivate or go out in the afternoon; they simply chatted and rested in the cave. During this time, they decided on one thing: Shui Bing'er would filter out the icy attributes of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow from Yunxiang, and then transfer the purified Soul Power to Yunxiang. In this way, both Shui Bing'er and Yunxiang could benefit.

The next morning, after everyone had breakfast, they began the plan they had discussed the day before.

Shui Bing'er, Yunxiang, An Jun, and Xue Wu entered the cave to cultivate. However, An Jun and Xue Wu's cultivation methods differed from the previous two times. This time, An Jun went to the bottom of the cave to absorb the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow for his own cultivation, no longer providing energy to others. Xue Wu, on the other hand, used the favorable environment for self-cultivation.

Jin Shan remained by Snow Soul Bear King's side; the two had spent the most time together and had long since become close partners.

Without Yunxiang's interference, Huo Lei had more time to cultivate, and he vaguely felt that his Soul Power had reached the bottleneck of level seventy-eight.

Seven days later, the four who had entered the cave to cultivate emerged together. Each of them had made varying degrees of improvement.

Through conversation, it was learned that An Jun's Soul Power Level had reached the Level 95 Peak. The reason he came out was that he could no longer absorb the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.

In just seven days, Shui Bing'er's Soul Power Level increased by one level, reaching Level 87. The reason she came out was the same as An Jun's: she had reached saturation in absorbing the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow and could no longer absorb any more for a short period of time.

Yunxiang's improvement was the most obvious. In seven days, with Shui Bing'er's help, she improved from Level 62 to Level 66.

Xue Wu did not level up in these seven days, but she has stabilized her newly entered Soul Sage Realm.
