"Aunt Shui, I've temporarily linked our martial soul qualities, allowing yours to reach the ultimate ice level for a short time.
However, this connection won't last long, so the next step is the most crucial."
Huo Yuhao's voice held a hint of seriousness; the following steps were vital for Shui Yun'er.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Shui Yun'er nodded slightly and then asked, "What should I do next?"
Her voice held a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.
She knew she was about to undergo a transformation, a transformation that could change her destiny.
Huo Yuhao's voice echoed in Shui Yun'er's mind: "Now, you must have sensed the aura of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow around you.
Next, you will begin to try to absorb the energy of this Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow and use this energy to temper your Martial Soul."
"You need to close your eyes, concentrate your mind, feel the presence of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, guide this energy into your body, and let it circulate within you."
"As the energy continues to temper you, your Martial Soul will gradually be purified, impurities will be removed, and your Martial Soul will become purer and stronger."
"When the tempering reaches its peak, your Martial Soul will automatically transform into Ultimate Ice.
At that time, you will be able to control even more powerful ice elemental forces.
However, this process may be a little painful, so I hope you can endure it."
When Huo Yuhao's words entered Shui Yun'er's ears, she nodded gently.
Following Huo Yuhao's instructions, she carefully guided the energy of the surrounding Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, slowly channeling it into her body.
The moment the chill entered, Shui Yun'er's brow furrowed slightly.
She could clearly feel the piercing cold, like countless fine needles, pricking every inch of her skin.
Despite this, Shui Yun'er was, after all, a Soul Douluo-level expert; her body and will had undergone countless trials.
While the pain was intense, it was still within her tolerance.
She took a deep breath, trying to regulate her breathing and allow her body to adapt to the cold.
However, compared to the physical pain, the icy feeling from the depths of her soul was far more unbearable.
It was a coldness that felt as if her very soul was being frozen, causing Shui Yun'er to involuntarily let out a low groan.
This sudden groan filled her with shame; showing such a side of herself in front of Huo Yuhao, a junior, was truly embarrassing.
Shui Yun'er gritted her teeth, trying her best to control her emotions and prevent any more painful groans from escaping.
She knew that Huo Yuhao was currently focused on maintaining the output of extreme ice energy to her.
Although Huo Yuhao's strength had undergone a tremendous change, it was undoubtedly a huge challenge for him, given the vast difference in their strength.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Huo Yuhao's forehead, but his eyes remained firm and unwavering.
Huo Yuhao's hands moved in the air, condensing the surrounding extreme ice energy and then slowly guiding it into Shui Yun'er's body.
Shui Yun'er could feel the icy energy flowing through her meridians, gradually merging with her martial soul, guided by Huo Yuhao. Although the process was painful, once successful, her strength would be greatly enhanced.
With Huo Yuhao's assistance, Shui Yun'er began to try to guide this energy, adjusting it according to the characteristics of her martial soul.
Shui Yun'er closed her eyes, immersing herself completely in the process, striving to transform the pain into motivation.
Time ticked by, and Shui Yun'er focused intently on absorbing the essence of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.
Huo Yuhao stood by, observing her every move with unwavering eyes.
He could clearly sense the dramatic transformation occurring in the quality of Shui Yun'er's martial soul. What was
originally just a phantom of an ice kite was now gradually revealing several phoenix feathers behind it, indicating that Shui Yun'er's martial soul was about to undergo a qualitative leap, becoming an Ice Phoenix.
Huo Yuhao silently estimated the time; he estimated that in at most three days, Shui Yun'er's martial soul would successfully transform into an Ice Phoenix with extreme ice attributes.
This was not merely an evolution of the martial soul, but a leap in strength.
Sure enough, three days later, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly emanated from the cave.
The phantom of the Ice Phoenix behind Shui Yun'er began to emit a loud cry, and a chillingly low temperature quickly swept through the entire cave.
Shui Yun'er's martial soul finally evolved into an Ice Phoenix, and the ice element within her transformed into powerful, ultimate ice.
Shui Yun'er felt the changes occurring within her body with a face full of joy.
She could now clearly feel herself autonomously absorbing the energy of the surrounding ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow.
After her martial soul evolved into an Ice Phoenix, Shui Yun'er's bottleneck began to loosen.
Her soul power level rose sharply from level eighty-five to level eighty-seven, and this upward trend didn't stop until it reached the critical point of level eighty-eight before slowly halting.
What surprised Shui Yun'er even more was the tremendous increase in her potential.
Due to previous internal injuries, Shui Yun'er had originally estimated that her soul power level might stop at level 89.
However, after her martial soul evolved into the Ice Phoenix with ultimate ice power, her previously damaged foundation was completely restored.
She believed that within three years at most, she could step into the realm of Title Douluo.
Shui Yun'er could feel her current soul power surging like a river beneath a glacier, ready to unleash its power.
However, what surprised Shui Yun'er the most was the power of the ultimate ice martial soul.
If she were to fight her previous self, she was even confident that she could end the battle in a few minutes.
"Finally, I succeeded!" Shui Yun'er shouted excitedly, tears glistening in her eyes.
Huo Yuhao was almost exhausted and collapsed on the ground.
After three whole days of inputting the power, Huo Yuhao felt like he was about to be worn out.
He had almost exhausted all his energy to help Shui Yun'er complete the evolution of her martial soul. His hands trembled slightly, but thankfully, his efforts had paid off.
The Shui Yun'er before him was likely the first Soul Douluo-level ultimate martial soul possessor in the entire continent's history.
As for how strong Shui Yun'er was, Huo Yuhao truly couldn't estimate, but he could roughly guess that her current strength was comparable to some newly-entered Title Douluo level experts.
"Congratulations, Aunt Shui..." Huo Yuhao's words were filled with joy.
However, before Huo Yuhao could finish speaking, a terrifying pressure suddenly emanated from above Tianshui Academy.
This powerful energy fluctuation instantly alerted both Huo Yuhao and Shui Yun'er.
"This is... the aura of a Title Douluo!"
