Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

As time went on, the icy blue crystal at the center of the rapidly spinning liquid soul power grew larger and larger.

Before long, all the liquid soul power disappeared, and in its place was a solid soul power the size of a duck egg, resembling an ice crystal gem.

At the moment the transformation was completely completed, a small vortex of soul power was formed centered on the solidified soul power.

As soon as the soul power vortex appeared, it immediately generated a powerful suction force, frantically drawing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

As a large amount of primordial energy from heaven and earth surged in, the surrounding light became slightly distorted.

Of course, the solidified soul power that has already taken shape absorbs more than just the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

At this stage, even if Mu Yang no longer actively injects soul power, the solidified soul power that is about to become a soul core will continuously draw soul power from his body.

If Muyang's supply is interrupted or insufficient, the inevitable outcome will be failure.

Fortunately, Mu Yang was a prudent person and had made ample preparations beforehand, storing a lot of pre-made Crimson Jade Soul Returning Ginseng in his Soul Guide Storage Bracelet.

Soul power isn't something you can have in abundance, but as long as it's not consumed in a massive, instantaneous manner, it's definitely enough to support the condensation of a soul core.

Time passed second by second, and the solidified soul power was like a soul power black hole, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the soul power in Mu Yang's body.

After a long time, the energy accumulated to its limit, and the solidified ice-blue soul power that had taken shape stopped absorbing energy. Around the clockwise rotating soul power vortex, tiny black cracks also appeared.

"Collapse!"

Seeing this, Mu Yang shouted in the dark. In an instant, the space collapsed, and the ice-blue solid soul power that appeared in front of him was completely shattered, forming a black hole vortex.

Inside the black hole vortex, everything is pitch black, as if it is about to devour everything, making it impossible to see anything inside.

The next moment, a strange feeling came over me.

Mu Yang clearly felt that he had developed a strange and special connection with the black hole vortex.

Before long, wisps of icy blue light began to emanate from around the black hole vortex.

Gradually, these increasingly bright icy blue rays of light transformed into fine icy blue ripples that rippled around the black hole's vortex.

Then, amidst the rippling ice-blue waves, a multifaceted, ice-blue rhombus-shaped object with mysterious patterns on its surface materialized within the black hole vortex.

"Ice Flame Soul Core, complete!"

Looking at the fully formed Ice Flame Soul Core in front of him, Mu Yang nodded with secret satisfaction.

A Soul Master has three acupoints in their body that can accommodate a Soul Core: the upper dantian between the eyebrows, the middle dantian in the chest, and the lower dantian in the abdomen.

In other words, a Soul Master can condense a maximum of three Soul Cores.

The attributes of a Soul Core are not fixed; it can be an elemental Soul Core or a Soul Core with attributes such as spirit or blood.

For this first time, Mu Yang didn't do anything fancy. He simply condensed the Ice Flame Soul Core and planned to integrate it into his lower dantian.

As for the middle and upper dantian? We'll talk about that later.

Calming himself, Mu Yang took a deep breath and began to guide the Ice Flame Soul Core into his lower dantian.

As soon as the Ice Flame Soul Core merged into his body, Mu Yang immediately felt a sense of oppression spreading throughout his body. This sense of oppression was very familiar, similar to the oppression he felt when attaching soul rings in the past.

Clearly, in addition to requiring strong mental strength and a high level of control over soul power, a soul master's physical fitness is also one of the tests for condensing a soul core.

Of course, this sense of oppression was not strong, far from reaching Mu Yang's limit. Just like when he was attached to an ordinary ten-thousand-year soul ring, there was no test at all.

After all, if even Mu Yang couldn't withstand the pressure generated when the soul core was integrated into his body, then no soul master in the world would be able to successfully condense a soul core.

The process of the first soul core merging into the body was very simple. Before long, the Ice Flame Soul Core was completely integrated into the body and began to rotate steadily in a clockwise direction in the lower dantian of the abdomen.

After carefully sensing it for a long time, Mu Yang discovered that with the Ice Flame Soul Core constantly operating, the quality of his soul power, which was already far superior to that of other soul masters of the same level, became even more solid.

Although the effect is not very obvious due to the short time, the effect will be very significant once the purification limit is reached.

Besides the quality of his soul power, the most obvious change was that after condensing the Ice Flame Soul Core, his soul power recovery speed increased several times over.

Most importantly, the reason why the Soul Core can quickly restore Soul Power is that a stably functioning Soul Core can automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the outside world, without Mu Yang needing to use meditation techniques to restore it.

In this way, Mu Yang can continuously recover his soul power during the battle. If the intensity of the battle is not too high, this effect can be regarded as an alternative form of infinite soul power.

In the past, Mu Yang needed to actively use meditation to restore his soul power, making the difference obvious.

It can be said that the condensation of the soul core greatly compensated for his weakness in the endurance of the martial soul fusion skill.

"boom--"

Just then, a small mushroom cloud suddenly bloomed on a secondary peak in the distance, and the loud roar that reached Mu Yang's ears pulled him back from his reverie.

Seeing this, Mu Yang couldn't help but be speechless.

This mushroom cloud that suddenly rose up was the result of Shui Bing'er's failure to condense her soul core.

Despite his recent surge in soul power level far exceeding that of Shui Bing'er, his control over soul power is still significantly stronger than Shui Bing'er's. Furthermore, having consumed the celestial herb, the Autumn Dew of the Forgotten River, his mental strength also far surpasses that of Shui Bing'er.

With these two important conditions combined, plus his soul power level being a whole level higher, he has a greater advantage than Shui Bing'er in condensing a soul core.

Therefore, he was able to successfully condense the Ice Flame Soul Core, but that doesn't mean Shui Bing'er can do the same, at least not yet.

Although Shui Bing'er failed to condense her soul core for the first time, Mu Yang was not worried about her safety.

If it were any other Soul Master, their life would indeed be in danger.

After all, failure to condense a soul core usually occurs when the solid soul power is about to transform into a soul core. At that time, the solid soul power contains immense energy, and the power generated by the explosion after it goes out of control is enough to blast a soul master to pieces.

But Shui Bing'er is different. One of the two 100,000-year soul bone skills attached to her Ice Phoenix Skull is Ice Phoenix Protection, which has the same effect as Invincible Golden Body and is enough to protect her from the crisis she would face after failing to condense her soul core.

Before long, and before the mushroom cloud had completely dissipated, Mu Yang saw Shui Bing'er, clad in spirit gold battle armor, flapping her wings and flying towards him. (End of Chapter)
