Ice Empress remained silent for a moment, a hint of resentment flashing in her compound eyes, but she ultimately moved.
She gave the seven people a deep look, then turned away.
They moved with incredible speed, disappearing into the snowstorm in a few flashes.
She had to admit that if she stayed, she would be the one to die.
She never expected that among these seven humans there would be a being at Level 99.
Seeing Ice Empress leave, Golden Crocodile snorted coldly and transformed back into human form.
He didn't give chase, not because he was soft-hearted, but because killing Ice Empress now would only yield one Soul Bone.
That nearly 400,000-year-old Soul Ring was wasted.
In their view, Ice Empress's Soul Ring could be left for Gui Yuan's second Soul Martial Soul to absorb.
As for why Qian Renxue wasn't considered?
That's because Qian Renxue couldn't absorb Soul Ring that was nearly 400,000 years old when she was Level 90.
Only Soul Master with two Martial Soul have the opportunity to attempt to fuse and absorb this level of Soul Ring when attaching Soul Ring to their Second Martial Soul.
Qian Daoliu didn't say much more, "Let's go."
The seven set off again, heading towards the outskirts of the Far North.
The wind and snow continued, but everyone's steps were much lighter than when they arrived.
They had been away from the Spirit Hall for too long and wanted to return as quickly as possible to tell Gui Yuan the good news.
Spirit Hall.
Gui Yuan has been pondering a question lately.
Besides daily Soul Power cultivation and practicing Self-Created Soul Skill, are there any other ways to improve his combat ability?
After all, although he was not yet nine years old, he was already a level 49 Soul Ancestor.
During his usual sparring sessions with Xie Yue and Hu Liena, both sides would hold back some of their strength, making it impossible to achieve a truly effective combat outcome.
The effect would be much better if you could practice with a stranger.
With that in mind, Gui Yuan went directly to find Bibi Dong.
Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong was sitting in the main seat, reviewing the archives.
Gui Yuan walked in and bowed. "Teacher, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."
Bibi Dong said calmly, "You speak."
Gui Yuan asked, "Are there any places that offer practical combat training? Like the Great Soul Arena?"
Bibi Dong was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. "Why would you suddenly think that?"
Gui Yuan truthfully expressed his thoughts.
He needs real combat pressure, not the kind of casual sparring he does in front of familiar people.
Bibi Dong paused for a moment, then said, "There isn't Great Soul Arena within Spirit City. Given your talent and age, the only ones that meet your requirements are the Great Soul Arena in the capitals of the two great empires. However, given your position, it's not really suitable for you to train in the Great Soul Arena."
"Do you get me?"
Gui Yuan was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, though he understood Bibi Dong's meaning.
His current age and cultivation level are mismatched, and his Soul Ring Configuration is severely over-standard; he also possesses Twin Martial Souls.
What these two Martial Soul mean to people from powerful factions is actually quite easy to guess.
After all, his Martial Soul are the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and the Gui Mei, which are the same Martial Soul of Yue Guan and the Gui Mei Spirit.
The existence of Twin Martial Souls simultaneously would remind people of his first and second fathers.
Even if they subjectively believe that two men cannot have offspring, given their level of suspicion, they will dig deep into any connection they find.
Seeing his disappointed expression, Bibi Dong asked again, "Do you really want practical combat training? Xie Yue and Hu Liena can't satisfy you?"
Gui Yuan nodded. "Teacher, you know my various abilities. Even if Brother Xie Yue and Sister Nana were to take on each other individually, they wouldn't be a match for me."
"If they use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, their strength will far surpass mine, making it difficult to achieve any real combat effect."
After this period of practice, Xie Yue and Hu Liena have both made great progress in Self-Created Soul Skill.
Even after they unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, some of their attacks were still difficult for him to dodge, even when he flew into the sky.
Of course, this is on the premise that Gui Yuan does not consume the Singular Velvet Golden Body Chrysanthemum.
If he had consumed the Singular Velvet Golden Body Chrysanthemum, he could ignore any attack and directly inflict severe damage on the opponent despite the Demon Charm's attacks.
But that defeats the purpose of sparring.
Bibi Dong thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll arrange a sparring partner for you who is good at both offense and defense, and whose cultivation level is Soul Saint. That way, you can fight without restraint."
"With his skill level, that sparring partner would be able to control the force he uses against you."
She paused for a moment and then said, "Besides that, we'll find some time to arrange for you to meet some of the more talented young people at the Spirit Hall Academy."
After all, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament will begin in a few years, and you should get to know them.
"Although I don't think we'll need you to participate in the Soul Master Tournament a few years from now, just in case, and also so you can show off a bit then."
"But the price of showing off is that you'll be targeted by the higher-ups of various powerful forces. What do you think?"
Gui Yuan's eyes lit up. "Then let's do it this way, teacher. It doesn't matter whether we show off or not."
"By the time of the Soul Master Tournament, my cultivation level may have reached the Soul Emperor. If I want to continue to improve, I will need some opponents of similar strength."
"And these rivals can probably only be found among the older generation; it's almost impossible for my peers to surpass me."
Bibi Dong also agreed with Gui Yuan's idea.
Moreover, with the Spirit Hall as her backing, if those powerful forces dare to do anything, they shouldn't blame her for being ruthless.
Then, Gui Yuan looked at Bibi Dong seriously and said, "But teacher, the sparring partner you arranged must not consider my status. It would be best if he could target my weaknesses and beat me to death, even severely injuring me."
Bibi Dong's lips twitched slightly. "I didn't realize you had masochistic tendencies, were you a masochist?"
Gui Yuan was a little embarrassed. "Teacher, I was just describing it that way. I didn't really mean for the sparring partner to beat me to death. I meant to say as hard as you can."
"Anyway, the Spirit Hall has no shortage of Healing- type Soul Master. As long as the injury isn't serious enough to damage the foundation, it will heal in no time."
Bibi Dong couldn't help but chuckle, "Then explain yourself clearly."
She shook her head. "Alright, I'll take care of this. Someone will come to you in a while."
Gui Yuan bowed and said, "Thank you, teacher."
He turned and left the Pope's Palace, his steps much lighter than when he arrived. He murmured, " Soul Saint- level sparring partner should put a lot of pressure on me. I just wonder if I can experience a life-or-death battle?"
Gui Yuan isn't a masochist, and he's actually not too happy about getting injured, but if he doesn't suffer a little now to develop some practical combat skills and a sense of crisis, he might accidentally fall into a trap in the future and be in big trouble.
