Hearing this, Su Yu chuckled but did not comment. He stared at Snow Empress for a while before asking, "Little Snow, what about the rest?" "I see your soul rings…" Snow Empress's soul rings were black, black, black, black, and black—clearly different from other hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts who had taken human form. Her unique situation was unprecedented in the history of the Douluo Continent. Some things even Su Yu wasn't entirely sure about. Snow Empress's ethereal, crystal-clear eyes blinked as she slightly raised her delicate chin, revealing her flawless side profile. "You already know my situation. I took the Transformation Grass, allowing two different transformation methods to merge. I am both human and soul beast." "For an ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beast, the first six soul rings can be self-generated, but the seventh must come from hunting another soul beast." "This is because once they reach the Soul Sage level, transformed soul beasts enter their maturity phase and fully become human." "In other words, aside from dropping soul rings and soul bones upon death, they are no different from regular humans." "But since I combined two transformation methods, I am both human and a soul beast. This makes me fundamentally different from other hundred-thousand-year soul beasts." "My special condition allows me to generate soul rings on my own until I return to my peak state, without needing to hunt soul beasts." "You could say that I can self-generate soul rings all the way to the Title Douluo realm." "As for my first five soul rings being black, considering that I was a super soul beast with a cultivation of 690,000 years, isn't that reasonable?" Su Yu's mouth hung open in shock at what he had just heard. How fascinating! But after thinking it over, since the Transformation Grass allowed Snow Empress to retain both her soul beast essence and cultivation, it wasn't too far-fetched for her to achieve this. Indeed, Snow Empress was different from other hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts. While others had to start over after taking human form, Snow Empress had merely converted her power and unsealed it gradually. With this in mind, Su Yu found it quite reasonable. As for those five black ten-thousand-year soul rings… just as Snow Empress had said, she was a super fierce beast by nature. Generating a few ten-thousand-year soul rings on her own was perfectly logical. "That is… incredible. But it all makes sense." "Little Snow, you've saved me a lot of trouble. Otherwise, just finding soul rings for you would be a huge headache." Su Yu sighed. Snow Empress narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, a trace of cold danger flashing through them. "What do you mean by that? Are you saying I'm troublesome now?" Su Yu took two steps closer, gently stroking Snow Empress's long hair. "What are you thinking? How could I find you troublesome? You're my beloved wife, after all." "I refuse! And… stay away from me." Snow Empress scoffed, her snow-white, delicate hand gently pushing against Su Yu's chest. "I refuse your refusal!" Su Yu grabbed her hand, smiling mischievously. "Little Snow, you can't escape. Just accept your fate." Snow Empress rolled her beautiful eyes, and her disdain was evident. But despite being held, she never actually pulled her hand away. Su Yu wasn't surprised—he knew that deep down, Snow Empress was just a tsundere. A tsundere who also had a bit of a wild side. If she truly had no interest in him, how could he have grabbed her hand so easily? Did people think Snow Empress was that easy to approach? "With soul rings no longer an issue, we just need to focus on soul bones now." "Little Snow, don't worry. I'll find a complete set of soul bones perfect for you." Su Yu patted his chest, making a firm promise. "You should worry about yourself first. This place is a rare treasure trove—it's not somewhere you should waste time." Snow Empress turned her head away with a cold, indifferent expression, but her words were full of concern for Su Yu. Su Yu chuckled, squeezing her hand before walking toward another part of the area. Among the many medicinal plants, he found a rather unremarkable herb. The herb was entirely green, except for three pure white leaves at its center, each holding tiny droplets of water, as if they were morning dew. Su Yu plucked the herb and carried it to the shore. Snow Empress glanced at it with a puzzled expression. It seemed far too ordinary. "This is called 'Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.' Eating it can refine one's vision, granting insight into all things… though that's an exaggeration. In truth, this immortal herb greatly benefits one's spiritual power." Su Yu casually explained before tilting his head back and drinking the dew from the leaves. Instantly, a sweet and refreshing taste flowed down his throat, and a crisp fragrance spread through his entire body. At the same time, as the dew left the leaves, the entire plant withered at an astonishing speed, turning to dust, leaving only a few tiny seeds behind. Su Yu casually tossed the seeds into the soil nearby. Perhaps, in a few years, another Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew would sprout in this place. As long as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well remained, this land's immortal herbs would continue to grow. Closing his eyes, Su Yu soon felt a wave of refreshing energy surging through his body. The cool sensation rapidly concentrated in his head, then exploded. Su Yu's mind became incredibly clear, an indescribable comfort washing over him. The erupting energy flowed toward his eyes like rivers merging into the sea. A strange force seemed to be reshaping his Autumn Water Bright Eyes. Su Yu guided his spiritual power to absorb the medicinal effects. Snow Empress silently observed from the side, her face calm and aloof, like a snow lotus blooming atop an icy mountain—distant and untouchable. However, her cold and sharp eyes betrayed her true thoughts. seaʀᴄh thё Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. She just stood there, staring at Su Yu, completely motionless. An hour passed quickly. Su Yu's spiritual sea had undergone a tremendous transformation. The originally deep-blue lake of his spiritual sea was now overlaid with a hazy golden glow. The two colors merged into a brilliant blue-gold hue. From within his spiritual sea, Skydream Iceworm peeked out, exclaiming in shock, "This is insane! Boss has completely surpassed expectations!" "He's only one step away from achieving tangible, materialized spiritual power!" "Once he takes that step, there will be fewer than five people on the continent who could match his spiritual power." Skydream Iceworm rolled around in excitement, clearly overjoyed. Having tangible and materialized spiritual power was an exceedingly rare feat. And now, Su Yu was just half a step away from entering this miraculous realm. Even Skydream Iceworm struggled to express its excitement. "Incredible. I'm becoming more convinced that he can ascend to godhood." "He's supposed to be an Ultimate Ice soul master, yet his spiritual power surpasses even dedicated spiritual-type soul masters." "He's already surpassed my peak-state spiritual power." Ice Empress sighed softly. As the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, a master of Ultimate Ice, spiritual power wasn't her specialty. However, with her 390,000 years of cultivation, her spiritual power was still comparable to an ordinary Rank 98 Super Douluo. Yet now, she was inferior to Su Yu. She suddenly felt like an old wave being pushed aside by the new tide. She had always known that Su Yu would one day surpass her. But it had only been a few years… Su Yu wasn't even fifteen yet, and his spiritual power had already exceeded hers. Such progress could only be described as terrifying. "I was right to choose him. He has a chance to become a god. But… why did he have to set his sights on Snow?" "This is infuriating!" Ice Empress was satisfied with Su Yu in every way—except one: he loved teasing Snow Empress. What frustrated her most was that Snow Empress, after spending time with Su Yu, seemed to be developing feelings for him too. How could Ice Empress accept that? "Damn it!" The Ice Empress stomped her feet repeatedly, clearly furious. ... Outside, Su Yu slowly opened his eyes after absorbing the last trace of medicinal effects. When he looked at the world again, everything had changed. Su Yu could see every tiny particle within the miasma, perceive the life force flowing through each immortal herb, and even observe the precise fluctuations of energy within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. His originally sharp, autumn-water-clear eyes now seemed to have undergone an evolution. "Devouring the Fire-Eyed Golden Eyes, allowing me to perceive all mystical wonders, huh..." Su Yu murmured in his heart, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned. "You... how are you?" A cool and elegant voice sounded in Su Yu's ear. Instinctively, he turned his head toward Snow Empress. In an instant, through her snowy white dress, he saw an astonishing sight that left him dumbfounded. "Holy sh—!" Su Yu shuddered, the stunning scene delivering a tremendous impact on his senses. Snow Empress furrowed her brows. Under Su Yu's gaze, she felt as if she were completely exposed as if she weren't wearing anything at all. But soon, she realized—this wasn't an illusion. "You bastard, what are you looking at?" Snow Empress's beautiful face flushed red. The initial shyness quickly turned into anger, and she scolded Su Yu furiously. Su Yu coughed, pretending to be serious. "N-Nothing at all." "You bastard, you're still denying it? I'll beat you to death!" Snow Empress charged forward angrily, raising her small, fair fists to strike him. Su Yu quickly stood up, grabbed her hand, and pulled her into his arms. Even though Snow Empress had regained the strength of a Soul King, she was no match for Su Yu. Especially considering Su Yu's raw strength, which reached a terrifying 80,000–90,000 jin—she simply couldn't compete. "Bastard, let me go!" Snow Empress's face was full of anger. Su Yu sighed and said, "Little Snow, I didn't mean to. It was an accident." "Accident, my ass! You pervert! You took advantage of me—I'm going to kill you!" Like a furious cat, Snow Empress activated her domain. The rapidly compressed icy domain enveloped them both, sending a bone-chilling cold into Su Yu's heart. Su Yu sighed helplessly and activated his Sovereign Dominance Domain. This was his greatest trump card, and the moment it was unleashed, it absorbed all of the Snow Empress's Domain's chilling energy. Under the black-and-white radiance, even Snow Empress—who was still in Su Yu's arms—seemed to lose all her strength. "You... you bastard." Snow Empress scolded him softly, but deep inside, she was utterly shocked. What exactly has this guy comprehended? How could he suppress the ultimate ice power so effortlessly? Su Yu's voice rang out again. "Little Snow, I didn't mean to." "You did it on purpose!" Snow Empress refused to let it go. "Alright, fine, let's say I did. What do you want to do about it?" "You can't even beat me." Su Yu spoke with complete honesty. "You—!" Snow Empress was enraged. Frustrated, she stomped on Su Yu's foot. However, because of the Sovereign Dominance Domain, she couldn't muster much strength, so Su Yu barely felt anything. Still half-holding her, Su Yu said with a hint of helplessness, "Little Snow, in the end, it was just an accident." "And it's not like I haven't seen you before. I used to help you bathe, remember?" "Why didn't you mind back then?" Snow Empress's cheeks turned bright red as she retorted, "That was different!" "How is it different?" "Hmph, it just is!" Snow Empress huffed. "I don't see any difference," Su Yu muttered. "Hmph, you old pervert, you're just lusting after my body." Snow Empress pouted. Su Yu grinned. "Heh, I won't deny that." Snow Empress rolled her eyes and urged, "Are you going to let go of me or not?" "If you don't, I'll get mad." Su Yu chuckled and released her. Seizing the moment, Snow Empress suddenly shoved Su Yu into the freezing spring. Splash! Su Yu instantly turned into a drenched mess. Standing triumphantly on the shore with her hands on her hips, Snow Empress looked at him smugly. "Wow, your revenge streak is strong," Su Yu said, shaking his head with a smile. Then, in a flash, he was back on shore. With a light shake, all the water evaporated. "Happy now?" He reached out and pinched Snow Empress's cheek, making her turn her head away in feigned annoyance. "Alright, enough playing around. Time to get serious." Muttering to himself, Su Yu headed toward the Yang Spring. Unlike the Ying Spring, where he felt completely comfortable, the Yang Spring's environment made him uneasy. Ice and fire were opposites. At this moment, Su Yu's body was brimming with extreme ice energy, making him incompatible with the Yang Spring's extreme fire. However, as the nine-colored radiance flickered within him, all discomfort disappeared. As Su Yu walked forward, the plants beside him instinctively withdrew. His target was a fiery red plant. It was a flower about ten feet tall. Though called a flower, it looked more like a cabbage. Its body, resembling a ruby carving, was completely crimson and crystal-clear. As Su Yu approached, the fiery red plant immediately glowed with a radiant red light. With just one flicker, the temperature in the valley noticeably increased. This plant was, of course, the extreme yang counterpart to the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass—the Infernal Delicate Apricot. ["Y-You… what do you want?"] Sensing Su Yu's approach, the Infernal Delicate Apricot panicked, speaking in a flustered female voice. "Infernal Delicate Apricot, I'm not in the mood to chat. Hand over your Scorching Essence Glue willingly, or else…"
