Although the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings currently possessed no cultivation, they had lived for eons and once stood at the very pinnacle of existence; they possessed more than enough wisdom.
Wisdom itself was a form of power.
With the assistance of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, Xiao Lin quickly utilized Ultimate Ice and Fire to activate his body's potent life force. This immense vitality, in turn, allowed Xiao Lin to smoothly circulate his Blood and Qi power.
Soon, under the guidance of the Vajra Imperishable Divine Skill—a technique derived from the Mysterious Heaven Skill—the method of circulating Blood and Qi through Ultimate Ice and Fire was established.
This also granted Xiao Lin's Vajra Imperishable Soul Power even greater offensive and defensive capabilities. Xiao Lin's Blood and Qi reached their peak, and his physical fitness became comparable to that of Fierce Beasts of the same level.
If Xiao Lin used his Soul Power to protect his body, he could now crush Soul Beasts of the same rank even without utilizing any Soul Skills.
"Little Lin, not bad, not bad at all. With this level of physical fitness, even without Soul Power, you wouldn't freeze to death if you went to the Far North," the Ice Dragon King said, sensing Xiao Lin's physical condition with great satisfaction.
"This way, Xiao Lin, you only need Soul Rings of a high enough age, and you can passively increase a massive amount of physical attributes," the Fire Dragon King added, nodding. However, his tone quickly shifted.
"But, if you truly intend to add Soul Rings with the Lightning attribute, we won't be able to help you much with those. Walking the path of Ultimate Ice and Fire combined with the power of Blood and Qi is already quite excellent."
This time, the Ice Dragon King did not contradict the Fire Dragon King and began to agree: "For Ice and Fire attributes, after you absorb a Soul Ring, you can return here to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"We can directly use the spiritual energy here to temper and refine your Soul Rings. But for the Lightning attribute, or other attributes, it won't work as well."
"Actually, if it were a Thunder Dragon, we could potentially grant you some Dragon Power to increase the age of the Soul Rings and refine the Soul Skills. But as for strengthening the Lightning attribute itself, we cannot do it."
Just as Xiao Lin was feeling puzzled, the two Dragon Kings directly revealed the reason.
Given the former strength of the two Great Dragon Kings, even the energy remaining after their deaths was enough to alter the entire geographical environment.
Based on what Xiao Lin knew, this influence could last for over ten thousand years. That power was more than enough for Xiao Lin to exchange for several hundred thousand year Soul Rings. After listening to the explanation from the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, Xiao Lin nodded.
However, Xiao Lin was not prepared to change his Soul Ring selection for the Trinity Force just yet. If his Lightning-attributed Soul Power wasn't strong enough, he could look for the Sea God to strengthen it in the future.
As for the refinement of Soul Rings by the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, Xiao Lin did not plan to act immediately; he could not let the Sea God know that there were two Great Dragon Kings residing within his consciousness space.
Regarding his second Martial Soul, Xiao Lin would find a way to use a Dragon-type Soul Beast as a foundation. If all else failed, he could only look into the awakening of a Body Martial Soul.
The emergence of the power of Blood and Qi gave Xiao Lin a new idea.
Why not use the pathways of Blood and Qi—the body's meridians, blood vessels, and channels—to form a new Martial Soul set?
If a Body Martial Soul served as the carrier for the power of Blood and Qi, then Xiao Lin's growth would naturally become incredibly rapid.
In this way, the speed of his Soul Power progression, which had originally slowed down due to enduring the power of Blood and Qi, could return to normal.
In other words, Xiao Lin's research had now shifted toward a Second Awakening of a Martial Soul and the awakening of a Body Martial Soul. It would be best if it were a Body Martial Soul like the body's meridians, or perhaps choosing the torso bone or the spine.
The human spine handles hematopoietic functions (blood production) and is closely related to the power of Blood and Qi. Furthermore, if he truly awakened a spine-based Martial Soul, would that Martial Soul improve alongside his physical body if he absorbed a Torso Soul Bone in the future?
Xiao Lin felt this was worth a try, along with wing-type External Soul Bones.
If a wing-type External Soul Bone fused with a Torso Bone, and then fused with his spinal Martial Soul—a Trinity of fusion—they could evolve together. By then, Xiao Lin feared he would truly become a man of reinforced bars and iron bones, truly invincible!
Excellent.
This "Trinity" of progression might even allow him to train his body to a level comparable to a Divine Tool, matching the future quality of his Martial Soul, the Horned Dragon Staff. If the qualities were equal, the difficulty of awakening a second Martial Soul might be lower.
After meticulous calculation, Xiao Lin finally decided that his second Martial Soul would be his spine. If there were a Lightning Dragon at the level of a Fierce Beast that dropped a powerful Torso Bone, that would be even better.
Of course, this assumed the two Dragon Kings were to be resurrected; otherwise, Xiao Lin might have even considered using the Soul Bones from the corpses of the two Dragon Kings.
"By the way, two Dragon Kings, what happened to your Soul Bones?"
Xiao Lin thought of the Soul Bones of the two kings and blurted out the question.
"Our corpses haven't even rotted yet, and you're asking us for Soul Bones?"
"One of us is Ultimate Fire and the other is Ultimate Ice. How could a Dragon's body be so easily destroyed? Speaking of which, a certain dragon ended up dealing the most damage to the enemy back then."
The Ice Dragon King spoke, suddenly realizing that this brat Xiao Lin was actually being quite cheeky.
The Soul Bones contained a massive amount of the two Dragon Kings' Soul Power; there was no way they could just give them to Xiao Lin to use.
Furthermore, those bones were the very foundation of their eventual resurrection. The energy and spiritual energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were merely transformations of the Soul Power from their physical bodies.
In human terms, that was simply pure Soul Ring energy.
Even with just that Soul Ring energy, the two Dragon Kings were already planning to refine the quality of Xiao Lin's Soul Rings later. Yet here was Xiao Lin, actually daring to covet their Soul Bones.
"Hehe!"
Xiao Lin let out an embarrassed laugh, feeling like a child caught doing something bad by his parents.
Soul Bones with the Ultimate Ice and Fire attributes—which were likely of Million-Year or even Ten-Million-Year quality—who wouldn't want them?
Since the two Dragon Kings were formerly God-King level powerhouses, they surely couldn't be inferior to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, who wasn't even a God.
As the air suddenly turned quiet, Xiao Lin fled from his consciousness space and returned to reality. At that moment, Tang San, who had long since finished absorbing his Immortal Herbs, was staring intently at Xiao Lin with wide eyes.
He was so close he was practically pressed against Xiao Lin's face.
"Little San, what are you doing?"
Xiao Lin was nearly startled out of his skin and shouted in frustration.
"Brother Lin, something is wrong with you. How does it look like you've perfectly absorbed the energy of the Immortal Herbs?"
Having already absorbed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Tang San's eyes were now essentially a low-tier version of the Fiery Golden Eyes.
Not only could he see through the amount of Soul Power in a human body, but he could also see the Immortal Herbs Xiao Lin had absorbed and the Soul Power within him. Even after they returned, he would likely be able to see through Xiao Wu's true form.
Seeing the Soul Power within Xiao Lin's body—as vast as the boundless ocean, as explosive as erupting volcanic magma, and as solid as a heavy iceberg—Tang San was momentarily speechless.
If Xiao Lin's Soul Power hadn't been capped by the Rank 40 bottleneck, Tang San would have thought Xiao Lin could break straight through to Rank 50.
"The Horned Dragon Staff did it," Xiao Lin offered a casual excuse.
He suddenly noticed that Tang San seemed to have undergone quite a significant change as well. He looked much fairer, and his hair, which previously had some black strands, had now completely turned the color of Blue Silver Grass.
"Little San, did your Martial Soul evolve?"
Facing Xiao Lin's curious question, Tang San nodded with a smile.
"It hasn't just fully evolved into the Blue Silver King; I'm only a few steps away from becoming the Blue Silver Emperor. Also, my Heart Separation Control and Purple Demon Eye have broken through thanks to the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew."
Tang San spoke of his opportunities with great pride.
Had his Soul Power not also been restricted by the Rank 40 limit, he would have already broken through to Rank 43 or higher.
"Let's not talk about that. I had some insights while absorbing the herbs just now and developed a new cultivation technique that can strengthen vitality and physical fitness. I'll teach it to you now."
Xiao Lin nodded indifferently and quickly passed the cultivation method for the power of Blood and Qi to Tang San.
Tang San truly was a martial arts genius. Under Xiao Lin's verbal instructions, he gradually came to understand the cultivation of Blood and Qi. He deeply grasped the benefits this power had for one's vitality and for the absorption of Immortal Herbs.
"Thank you, Brother Lin!"
A flash of excitement crossed Tang San's face as he thanked him directly, then began his first attempt at cultivating the power of Blood and Qi.
"What are you thanking me for? We're brothers!"
Xiao Lin didn't give it a second thought.
In the time it took to say those words, he had already stripped off his black robe and leaped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to begin his own cultivation.
