The three Soul Rings that Feng Kuang detonated were all top-grade configurations.
Even the seemingly most common Great Strength Vajra Bear was a top-level Soul Beast.
Within Martial Souls, the Great Strength Vajra Bear stands at the pinnacle in both attack and defense.
Similarly, the Great Strength Vajra Bear itself is also a top-level Soul Beast. Although it doesn't match up to the strongest bear-type Soul Beast, the Dark Gold Horror Claw Bear, it is still among the top five.
Especially its defense.
A Great Strength Vajra Bear over ten thousand years old is an extremely rare caliber, one that requires delving deep into the Xingdou Great Forest to possibly encounter.
"Old Kuang, your Soul Ring combination..."
Even Zou Yun was startled by Feng Kuang's lineup of three Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings.
Feng Kuang was aware of this, so after calming down, he wasn't as thrilled as initially.
Yes, even if he hadn't restored his Soul Power to Level 50 to attempt mending the Soul Ring, so what?
His rare Soul Ring combination—how difficult it would be to replenish it.
"Xiaosu, do you still want to stay in the Guard Team?"
Zou Yun didn't quite know how to face Su Yu.
He couldn't imagine that Su Yu, whom he was calling Xiaosu just days ago, would turn out to be a Soul Emperor.
If Su Yu hadn't expressed that it was okay to keep addressing him that way, he would have opted for calling him 'senior' instead...
"I'm traveling this time, and since the Guard Team's tasks entail roaming the land, there's no issue continuing. But after my travels, I may leave at any time."
Su Yu spoke candidly.
...
Su Yu continued to stay in the Guard Team.
Due to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, Su Yu planned to remain in Tiandou City for another month before joining Zou Yun to venture to Frost Town in the Land of the Far North.
Although Feng Kuang discovered Su Yu's identity, he now only intended to organize the Guard Team well. As long as Su Yu didn't meddle with the Guard Team, Feng Kuang had no intention of intervening since his own strength wasn't sufficient to do anything significant.
As for seeking help from the senior and junior brothers of the Essence Sect, Feng Kuang had no such plan.
The day after revealing the Soul Emperor cultivation, Su Yu went on with his usual cultivation.
Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
"Old Lan, thank you for your hard work."
He retracted the 'Spirit' Rune and integrated the spirituality into the first three Soul Rings.
The whole process took Su Yu about an hour.
Then, he absorbed the energies emerging from the two springs of ice and fire for body forging.
This was a daily routine.
Day after day, a month passed by quickly.
Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
"Jiaojiao, Octagonal, I now need your Blazing Jelly and Ice Crystal to help me complete the Ice and Fire Alchemy Body."
After a month of body forging, Su Yu's body had initially adapted to the forces in the two springs.
The resilient life force of the Blue Silver Grass allowed it to adapt to any extreme environment. Under the support of the ultimate life attribute, even the energies from the two springs of Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice were gradually adapted by Su Yu.
Now, Su Yu finally intended to obtain two treasures, the Fiery Fire-Flavored Vegetable and the Octagonal Profound Ice Grass, and make the most of these to complete the Ice and Fire Alchemy Body.
Despite the short one-month supply of ultimate life force, it was an extraordinary opportunity for these several Immortal Grasses.
They felt their previously unstable realm was stabilized.
If their comprehensive combat power was about the level of a Soul Douluo before, they now possessed the standard of a Titled Douluo typical for Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
This was only the most superficial aspect of the gains in combat prowess.
The Fiery Fire-Flavored Vegetable did not hesitate and extracted a mass of jelly emitting intense heat, supported by Soul Power, delivering the Blazing Jelly into Su Yu's hand.
The Octagonal Profound Ice Grass also emitted an ice-blue glow, and an ice crystal exuding a white light separated from its body, delivered into Su Yu's hand.
One ice, one heat.
Both Immortal Grasses are highly toxic, yet the essences they concentrated did not just concentrate their own potency but also eliminated the toxins of the Immortal Grasses.
They're even rarer than the Immortal Grasses themselves.
Of course, the premise is to only compare either the Blazing Jelly or devoid of spirituality, a lower-year Fiery Fire-Flavored Vegetable, making the Blazing Jelly rarer.
Otherwise, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Fiery Fire-Flavored Vegetable that can continuously produce Blazing Jelly would certainly be far more valuable than the jelly.
The same principle applies to the Ice Crystal and Octagonal Profound Ice Grass.
Holding the treasures nurtured by Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice, Su Yu wasn't directly scalded or frostbitten.
The red and blue patterns on his hand bones glimmered, instead absorbing the energies from the two treasures as they flowed into Su Yu through his hands.
Su Yu didn't hold onto them for too long and shoved the Blazing Jelly and Ice Crystal into his mouth.
The fiery and icy energies surged down his throat into his body.
Explosive power erupted within, ceaselessly impacting Su Yu's internal organs.
With a leap, Su Yu jumped into the convergence point of the ice and fire springs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
Submerged in the extremely hot and icy waters, Su Yu held his breath and focused, wholeheartedly refining the energies within his body.
During the entire process, Su Yu propelled and concurrently perceived, observing synchronously.
The cultivation of Bone Pattern carries substance, the bones can bear Runes to complete the cultivation, but what about the flesh?
How to engrave Runes on flesh?
Under the Ice and Fire Alchemy Body, Su Yu devoted himself entirely to the changes within his body.
Sea of Spirit.
The Spiritual Power autonomously refined and outlined the 'Body' Rune, recording Su Yu's insights bit by bit.
Su Yu's comprehension and Runes were a perfect match.
