-------------------------
Though Ye Wen was confident that his Xuan Yuan Technique was no weaker than Tang San's Xuan Yuan Technique, he had no intention of risking his life or wasting two top-tier immortal herbs.
By reducing the dosage, the ice-fire body tempering process didn't significantly boost his soul power. However, through consistent medication…
After a full week, Ye Wen finally completed the ice-fire body tempering.
At this moment, Ye Wen's left fist was as cold as frost, while his right fist burned like scorching fire. This was none other than the Ice-Fire Divine Fist—ahem, no!
Ye Wen stared in astonishment at the two elemental forces in his hands. Despite not yet obtaining his fourth soul ring, he had somehow already mastered both ice and fire elements.
However, after some thought, Ye Wen found this unsurprising.
Based on his analysis, his martial soul was undoubtedly connected to the Silver Dragon King, which meant it likely contained all seven fundamental attributes.
These attributes were restrained by certain conditions and remained dormant until activated.
Now, after being stimulated by extreme ice and fire elements—though weakened—they were still high-level energies, and these latent attributes had been awakened.
However, perhaps because he hadn't obtained a soul ring yet, Ye Wen couldn't control these two elements as perfectly as he could with his second and third soul rings.
But Ye Wen wasn't worried. Time was on his side. Moreover, the emergence of these two elements gave him a clear direction for his fourth soul ring.
Should he choose ice or fire?
Just as Ye Wen was wavering, the sound of faint footsteps caught his attention.
Having lived together for some time, Ye Wen was very familiar with this particular set of footsteps—it belonged to his esteemed teacher, Dugu Bo.
But just as Ye Wen was about to greet him, Dugu Bo stammered in shock:
"Xiao Wen! Y-you… How did you turn into this!?"
Ye Wen turned around, tilting his head in confusion. What was wrong with him? He felt better than ever, with nothing amiss.
But from Dugu Bo's perspective, when Ye Wen turned his head, even though he was a Title Douluo, his martial soul instinctively trembled, as if it were…
Submitting!
After completing the ice-fire body tempering, Ye Wen's skin had become smoother and fairer, radiating a jade-like luster. However, his once jet-black hair had now turned completely white.
Calling it "white" wasn't quite accurate. Upon closer inspection, Ye Wen's hair exhibited a unique metallic sheen.
It was the color of silver, making "silver hair" a more fitting description.
As Dugu Bo began scrutinizing Ye Wen's appearance, he immediately noticed that Ye Wen's previously pitch-black eyes had transformed into a mesmerizing, rainbow-like spectrum of colors.
The seven-colored hues in his eyes shifted continuously, exuding an extraordinary beauty.
Though Ye Wen had already been handsome before, he now appeared as if reborn. If the old Ye Wen was a noble young man with an air of refinement, the current Ye Wen resembled a celestial being descended from the heavens.
For a moment, Dugu Bo was at a loss for words. He had only gone out for a walk, and now his grandson-in-law had changed so drastically?
Unable to find the right words, Dugu Bo pulled a mirror from his storage spirit tool and handed it to Ye Wen.
"Take a look for yourself."
Upon closer inspection, Ye Wen was utterly astonished.
Who's this handsome guy?
Oh, it's me.
!?
No! It's really me!
Ye Wen's thoughts raced as he struggled to accept reality. He had become breathtakingly beautiful.
Though something felt off, since it was himself who had become more handsome, Ye Wen didn't dwell on it and quickly sank into a new wave of puzzlement.
In the novel, Tang San didn't undergo any visible changes after obtaining his fourth soul ring. In the manga, however, absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring triggered his dark, handsome transformation.
But Ye Wen hadn't absorbed his fourth soul ring, nor had he undergone any darkening transformation. Instead, he had become paler, and his eyes now displayed an impossibly beautiful, rainbow-like spectrum of colors.
What was going on here?
Ye Wen only briefly pondered this question before noticing Dugu Bo's uneasy demeanor and asking:
"Teacher, what's wrong with you?"
Dugu Bo was speechless. How dare Ye Wen ask him that? This ungrateful disciple.
But seeing that Ye Wen didn't seem to be pretending, Dugu Bo replied:
"Haven't you noticed the abnormality around you, Xiao Wen? Ever since I returned, I've been sensing an unusual pressure emanating from you.
Though I can hardly believe it, your current condition seems to stem from an overwhelming martial soul hierarchy.
But my martial soul is already among the top-tier dragon-type martial souls. This is highly abnormal. Quickly check your martial soul and see where the issue lies!"
(Author's note: This isn't made up. By the time of Legend of the Dragon King, dragon-type martial souls are everywhere. Due to the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, Tang Wulin could suppress other dragon martial souls.Â
Though Gu Yuena didn't exhibit such traits, the ancient Lunar Silver Dragon King's bloodline within Ye Wen wasn't the weakened Silver Dragon King bloodline—it was a far stronger version after tens of thousands of years of cultivation. Combined, this explains Ye Wen's current state.)
Though Dugu Bo was once hailed as the weakest Title Douluo, this didn't mean his knowledge was lacking.
On the contrary, to resolve issues with his own martial soul, Dugu Bo had read extensively. Coupled with his rich life experiences, he quickly pinpointed the problem with Ye Wen.
Ye Wen froze for a moment, then seemed to realize something. He began channeling Xuan Yuan Technique to suppress his aura to the utmost extent.
With Ye Wen deliberately reining in his presence, Dugu Bo finally returned to normal, exhaling deeply.
Seeing Dugu Bo's relieved expression, Ye Wen also relaxed but still said, "Teacher, I'm about to summon my martial soul. There might still be some aura leakage, so please step back further. Otherwise, you'll be affected again."
Dugu Bo nodded in understanding and swiftly retreated to the outermost edge of the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well, watching Ye Wen from afar.
Ye Wen summoned his martial soul, Nana, naturally.
Previously, he hadn't paid much attention, but upon closer inspection, Ye Wen quickly noticed the anomaly he had unconsciously overlooked earlier. Though Nana's martial soul still resembled a slime, it now emanated an unmistakable, overwhelming pressure—an odd phenomenon indeed.
Ye Wen gently touched his martial soul, intending to examine it closely, when suddenly he noticed something unusual about the texture.
Nana's martial soul used to feel as smooth as a boiled egg, but now it had developed distinct layers.
Ye Wen's gaze sharpened as he identified the source of the change.
"Scales!?"
