The corner of Feng Xiaotian's mouth twitched, but at this moment, all his attention was attracted by the soul bone, and he had no time to pay attention to Yan's provocation. Huo Wushuang's eyes turned red, his fists clenched, and his heart was filled with confusion: Joining the Spirit Hall...can you get such an opportunity? ! This temptation... is too great!
"Next, Sister Bing'er." Ling Ye's voice sounded again.
Shui Bing'er's face remained calm, but in fact she was praying in her heart, her slender fingers like ice jade tapping gently.
Bo!
After the light sound, the light box shattered, but no earth-shattering energy or vision was erupted. There is only a thin, almost transparent card, as if carved from ice crystals, suspended in the broken light spots. There is no text on the card, only a mysterious pattern that is outlined by pure ice-blue light and continuously circulates, exuding a gentle but extremely pure aura of ice-cold origin.
"The first soul ring age increase card, increase range: one thousand years." Ling Ye's voice sounded at the right time, and he revealed the answer calmly.
"What?!" Huo Wu was the first to scream, her voice sharp and deformed due to excessive shock. She pointed at the suspended ice crystal card, her eyes almost popped out, "Increase the age of the soul ring?! Or directly increase it to a thousand years?! What a joke! Her first soul ring is already a thousand years old. "How can I bear it if it is increased by another thousand years!" She felt that her common sense was completely crushed, "The soul ring is the condensed soul power of the soul beast! How can the soul master's body bear the forcible increase in years? Will the meridians not be burst?! Will the soul power not backfire?! This... this is simply suicide!"
Her questions were like a barrage of questions, full of incomprehensibility and instinctive panic. Although Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang did not shout out, their furrowed brows and tense bodies showed the same turmoil and deep worries in their hearts. Forcibly increasing the life of the soul ring? This sounds even more incredible than simply giving him a ten-thousand-year soul ring! The latter is an external force, but the former wants to change the soul master's already solid foundation!
Faced with Huo Wu's hysterical doubts and the almost substantive worried looks of the three Blazing Fires, Ling Ye just glanced sideways, glanced at Shui Bing'er, and then returned his gaze to the ice crystal card. His tone was as calm as stating an established fact: "Produced in a blind box, no side effects, feel free to use." Just ten words, with an unquestionable, almost law-like certainty.
Shui Bing'er didn't hesitate at all, and didn't even look at Ling Ye. She stretched out her right hand, and as if being summoned, the ice crystal card instantly turned into a stream of light and sank into her palm! Immediately afterwards, the first deep purple soul ring around her body, which originally exuded a thousand-year pressure, suddenly lit up!
Hum——!
It is not a violent burst of energy, but a strange, dull buzzing like the ice layers squeezing and moving deep in the glacier! Shui Bing'er's body was instantly covered with a thin, almost transparent ice-blue halo. As the light flowed, the aura around her seemed to have undergone a subtle adjustment and tempering. The first deep purple soul ring became more solid and deeper at a speed visible to the naked eye! The purple halo was so rich that it almost dripped water, and the icy pressure it exuded was much more powerful than before! The foundation of the thousand-year soul ring has been abruptly raised to a higher level!
The whole process only took a few breaths, and Shui Bing'er didn't even frown. The halo dissipated and she breathed out gently, her breath condensing into a thin streamer of ice crystals in the air. She felt the more majestic and pure ice-cold power in the first soul ring, and a faint look of satisfaction flashed deep in her eyes.
"..." Huo Wu's scream sound stuck in his throat, as if being strangled by an invisible hand. She looked at Shui Bing'er's deeper first purple soul ring, and then looked at his expression that was as calm as if he just drank a glass of ice water. All her doubts about "explosion" and "backlash" turned into a burning tingling sensation on her face and an overwhelming sense of absurdity in her heart! No side effects...actually no side effects? !
Feng Xiaotian felt a chill from his tailbone to the sky, which was colder than Shui Bing'er's soul skill! This blind box... not only defies heaven, but also completely ignores the iron laws of the soul master world! Huo Wushuang clenched his fists subconsciously, his knuckles turning white. His eyes looking at Ling Ye were filled with indescribable complexity and a hint of... wavering.
"Next, Evil Moon." Ling Ye's voice was like a precise pendulum, continuing to promote this feast that subverted cognition.
Xie Yue's arms holding Yue Ren tightened slightly. He took a deep breath, suppressed the doubts and inquiries in his heart, and scanned the remaining blind boxes with his sharp hawk-like eyes. He didn't go to Ye Lingling to "borrow European energy" like Hu Liena did, nor was he as casual as Yan.
Bo!
The light box is broken!
The familiar pure golden energy spurted out, instantly sinking into Xie Yue’s eyebrows!
Buzz! Buzz!
Without Hu Liena's moan when she broke through, Xie Yue's body only shook slightly, and then a sharp aura that was sharper and more restrained than before suddenly woke up like a sleeping beast and exploded! There seemed to be invisible knife energy cutting through the air around him, making a subtle chi chi sound! The aura violently climbed upwards like a tsunami, spanning two obvious steps in a row!
Xie Yue suddenly opened her eyes, and the light in her eyes burst out, like a moon blade coming out of its sheath, with cold light overflowing! He felt the powerful soul power surging in his body, almost bursting out of his body, and the new realm brought about by breaking through the forty-level mark in one fell swoop. He could not help but feel an uncontrollable flush of excitement on his usually stern face. He slowly raised his hand, and the moon blade that had been with him for many years seemed to feel the master's breakthrough, and let out a low and sweet buzzing, and the cold light on the blade was even more dazzling!
"Level 40!" Xie Yue's voice carried a hint of metallic clang, echoing clearly in the hall.
…" The expressions of Huo Wu, Feng Xiaotian, and Huo Wushuang at this moment can no longer be described as shocked. They are a complete numbness and confusion after the collapse of the worldview!
Spirit power improvement...is it really that simple? !
They have been regarded as geniuses in the Blazing Fire Academy since they were young. They practiced hard and meditated day after day, and experienced countless battles and hardships before they gradually improved their soul power step by step. Only they themselves know the hardships and bottlenecks involved! But here... order a box? Just touching that mysterious light box with your fingertips?
Huo Wu looked at Xie Yue's tyrannical aura belonging to the forty-level soul sect that had not yet completely subsided, and then looked at the two pitiful yellow soul rings on her own body. An unprecedented sense of powerlessness and absurdity seized her. The talent and hard work that I am proud of are like a big joke in front of the magical blind box of Wuhun Palace!
Feng Xiaotian’s eyes were empty, and there was a trace of bitterness on the corner of his mouth. The other party's method of improving strength has completely gone beyond the scope of "cultivation"! How to play this? Huo Wushuang stared at his hands, wavering for the first time in the path of ascetic cultivation he had insisted on for many years. Is there any point in practicing...?
"Next, Sister Lingling."
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on the silver-haired girl whom Hu Liena regarded as the "European Emperor". Previously, Hu Liena's soul power soared, Yan obtained an eight-thousand-year-old soul bone, Shui Bing'er's life span increased to a thousand years, Xie Yue broke through two levels in a row... What will Ye Lingling, the "goddess of luck", come up with?
Ye Lingling's cold eyes calmly passed over the remaining blind boxes. I just followed the most natural intuition and clicked on one of them.
Bo!
The light box is broken.
There is no energy surge, no soul rings and soul bones. A soft, silver-white light that resembled condensed moonlight bloomed from it. The light was not dazzling, but it carried a strange and reassuring wave that was extremely solid. The light converged, and a small diamond-shaped shield the size of a palm with an extremely delicate and elegant shape was suspended in the air.
The whole body of the small shield has a translucent ice crystal texture, but there is also a faint silver halo, as if the moonlight and ice are perfectly integrated. The shield is as thin as a cicada's wing, with complex and ancient snowflake-like silver secret patterns inlaid on the edges. In the center is a lifelike nine-heart begonia relief sculpture formed by the power of extreme ice! The entire small shield exudes a pure, holy and extremely tough atmosphere, like the most loyal guardian.
"Level 4 defensive soul tool: Xuan Bing Heart Shield." Ling Ye reported its name, "It can automatically protect the owner and withstand three full blows from a soul king level expert. It contains ice attributes and life energy, and has a slight nourishing effect on the holder's soul power."
"Little Pepper, you don't know anything about this! I also have an offensive soul guide here, do you want to see it? Call me brother, listen?"
Huo Wu ignored him and glanced at him.
And Feng Xiaotian and the other two were dumbfounded!
"Can you stop the Soul King?!" Feng Xiaotian took a breath of air and looked at the small shield with shock in his eyes. Huo Wushuang's heart was beating wildly. The value of this thing is probably not much lower than Yan's eight-thousand-year-old soul bone!
Ye Linngling's cold eyes finally revealed a clear ripple. She stretched out her white hand, and the Xuan Bing Heart Shield seemed to feel the breath of the same source. It let out a subtle and pleasant sound, turned into a silver stream of light, and instantly disappeared into her eyebrows! The next moment, an extremely thin, almost imperceptible ice crystal shield flashed around her, carrying the will to protect her. The healing soul power of the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul in her body seemed to have become more condensed and active due to the integration of this shield. An unprecedented sense of security quietly enveloped her.
"Wow! So beautiful!" Hu Liena couldn't help but admire her, her eyes filled with envy. Yan Ye smacked his lips: "What a good thing! Sister Lingling is much safer now!"
Huowu looked at the flashing shield between Ye Linngling's eyebrows, and then looked at the healing aura around her that seemed to be more restrained and solid. She was so jealous that she almost went crazy! She subconsciously took two steps forward, staring directly at Ye Lingling, completely forgetting her previous hostility, and her voice was filled with urgency and desire that she didn't realize she had: "Hey! Ye Lingling! This...this shield...are you selling it? Any number of gold soul coins will do!"
Ye Lingling just glanced at her lightly, as if he was looking at a fool!
The hall fell into a strange silence again.
“Only by joining the Spirit Hall are you qualified to open this blind box?” Feng Xiaotian was the first to break the silence.
The person who answered him was not Ling Ye, but the charming Hu Liena beside him. Her red lips were slightly raised, and there was a trace of natural arrogance in her eyes: "Isn't this nonsense, Genius Feng?" She gracefully traced the remaining twelve blind boxes in the air with her fingers, and her tone was a bit angry, "Such a good baby, we don't have enough people ourselves, we can't wait to open ten or eight a day, how can we take advantage of outsiders? Are you doing charity?" Her words were simple and straightforward, like a knife, accurately cutting through reality.
Huo Wu opened his mouth, wanting to refute and fight for it, but looking at the suspended light box exuding mysterious temptation, Shui Bing'er's deep purple ring, the remaining domineering aura of the soul bone on Yan's body, the sharp forty-level soul pressure around Xie Yue, and the looming Xuan Bing Heart Shield between Ye Lingling's brows... all the reluctance and reserve were blocked by the naked temptation and the huge gap, leaving only a mouth full of bitterness. Huo Wushuang was silent, his eyes glancing back and forth between the blind box and Ling Ye's calm faces with complicated eyes, his fists tightening and loosening.
"We..." Feng Xiaotian took a deep breath, as if all his strength had been exhausted, and said in a low voice, "We need to go back and discuss with the elders of the college." This is almost acknowledging that "joining" is the only way, but it only requires the final step and buffer. He pulled up Huo Wu, who was still a little unwilling, with his eyes glued to the blind box and couldn't pull it out, and winked at Huo Wushuang. Huo Wushuang nodded heavily. Like a defeated rooster, the three of them turned around and walked towards the heavy bronze door with their hearts full of shock, struggle and indescribable loss. Their backs looked a little desolate in the mottled light and shadow.
The door slowly closed, cutting off the outside world.
"Huh... finally let's go!" Yan exaggeratedly wiped away the non-existent cold sweat, then rubbed his hands, and turned to the twelve suspended blind boxes with a look of impatient eyes, "Nana! Xie Yue! There are so many left! Let's continue quickly! I can't wait! Maybe the next one will be an artifact!" The redness on the bridge of his nose seemed to be redder with excitement.
Hu Liena also frowned, just about to respond.
「Hmph!」
A cold, humming hum with absolute pressure suddenly blew from the depths of the corridor inside the hall like an arctic wind!
The air seemed to freeze instantly and the temperature dropped sharply!
Everyone's heart was trembling, and they all turned their heads to look.
A tall, straight figure, whose whole body seemed to be bathed in invisible holy light, slowly walked out of the shadows. Her blond hair is like a waterfall, shining like molten gold in the light beams through the colorful glazed windows. Her face is extremely beautiful but carries an awe-inspiring majesty that overlooks all living beings. She is none other than the young master of Wuhun Palace—Qian Renxue!
