Douluo Continent: I can overdraft the future in advance

When Luo Yun woke up the next day, he lay in bed staring at the ceiling, his mind replaying the scenes from the previous night.

He thought about it all day.

This egg must belong to an Ice Phoenix. Although its egg liquid wasn't completely dried up, it certainly couldn't have hatched—the eggshell was already so broken when he first entered the temple, and everything in that temple gave him an ancient feeling, so the life inside the egg must have died long ago.

What remains should be pure ice-attribute energy.

Ice marrow itself is also a crystallization of ice-attribute energy. The two share the same origin, which is why ice marrow actively absorbs egg liquid.

As for what it will become after absorption—the ice marrow is still ice marrow, only now it contains the energy of the ice phoenix egg. When he absorbs the ice marrow, that energy will enter his body along with it.

Theoretically, there shouldn't be any problem.

"It should be fine," he told himself.

But he did not act immediately.

He waited until nightfall, when everyone in the family was asleep. He closed the doors and windows, sat cross-legged on the bed, and took the box out of his storage bracelet.

Luo Yun took a deep breath, took the ice marrow out of the box, and held it in his palm.

Same as yesterday.

He closed his eyes, channeled his soul power to envelop the ice marrow, and began to guide the coolness into his body.

At first, everything was normal. The cool energy flowed slowly through his meridians, just like yesterday. Luo Yun breathed a sigh of relief and focused on guiding the circulation of his soul power.

Then, something went wrong.

The ice marrow suddenly trembled.

Before Luo Yun could react, a tremendous chill emanated from within his icy marrow, gradually enveloping his entire body along with his soul power.

"What—"

Before he could finish speaking, the energy within the ice marrow surged out like a burst dam, frantically pouring into his meridians.

Luo Yun tried to sever the connection between his soul power and the ice marrow, but he couldn't. The energy of the ice marrow was no longer following his guidance; it was actively trying to squeeze into his body.

Within moments, his entire right arm was filled with cold air.

But the energy from the ice marrow continued to flow in, showing no sign of stopping. The chill swept over his shoulders, surged into his chest, and spread simultaneously upwards and downwards along his spine. It rushed upwards through his back and downwards into his legs.

Finally, the cold air seeped into his entire body, and Luo Yun's body trembled with cold.

But surprisingly, the temperature inside the room did not drop.

He could feel his body temperature dropping rapidly, but the air in the room, the blankets on the bed, the teacup on the table—the temperature of these things remained unchanged. The chill seemed to be locked inside his body by some force, not a single drop escaping.

Luo Yun's consciousness began to blur.

His limbs were stiff, his fingers were numb, and he couldn't even make a fist. The flow of his soul power within his body slowed down. It wasn't that his soul power had weakened, but rather that it had been frozen by the cold. His meridians, which normally allowed him to circulate his soul power, were like rivers in winter, where water might still be flowing under the ice, but the speed was so slow that it was almost imperceptible.

He felt his body becoming heavy.

Then, he lost consciousness.

-

During Luo Yun's unconsciousness, his body spontaneously activated his martial spirit.

An icy blue light surged from his body, spreading along his body and covering his back, shoulders, arms, chest, and finally his entire body.

But Luo Yun was unaware of all this. He was still unconscious.

The icy blue light grew brighter and brighter, enveloping him entirely. The light spread throughout the room, but the temperature remained unchanged—all the chill was locked within that light, locked inside his body, without a trace escaping.

The light lasted for a long time.

Then, it gradually fades away.

-

Luo Yun was awakened by the cold.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the floor. He didn't remember when he had rolled off the bed. He propped himself up and sat up, moving his fingers around.

He looked down at his hands.

Are those his hands? His skin is much whiter than before, and his fingers are longer and more slender.

He stood up and walked to the mirror.

The person in the mirror completely stunned him.

His features were still his, but every part seemed to have been re-sculpted. His once ordinary features had become angular, his eyes had become deeper, and the color of his pupils had changed from ordinary black to dark blue.

My hair has changed too.

Strands of icy blue hair have appeared in her originally pure black hair, as if she had been highlighted.

He opened his mouth, unsure of what to say. Then he remembered something else—ever since he woke up, he had felt a strange sensation in his back.

He turned around, pulled up his clothes, and looked at himself in the mirror.

His breath hitched.

The entire upper body, from the shoulders to the waist, is covered with a huge ice-blue pattern.

Ice Phoenix.

The Ice Phoenix's head rests on its cervical spine, and its entire body extends from the cervical spine to the lumbar spine. Symmetrical veins of feathers line both sides of the spine, and the patterns on its two shoulder blades form two outstretched wings.

He reached out and touched the pattern on his shoulder blade.

The skin is smooth, without any bumps or depressions.

Luo Yun stood in front of the mirror, silent for a long time.

Then he took a deep breath and activated his martial spirit to possess his body.

The same icy blue light still surged from his body in a few breaths, but this time, it was different from any other time.

His martial spirit possession form has completely changed.

A pair of ice-blue wings spread out directly from the shoulder blades, their wingspan broad and their feathers gleaming coldly. The body and limbs became longer and stronger, with smooth and powerful muscle lines.

A light blue filter veils the view before me, and all the details of the house in the distance come into view at the same time.

My observation skills have improved. It's not just that my eyesight has improved, but that my brain processes visual information much faster.

He stood in front of the mirror, looking at his appearance after being possessed by his martial spirit. Ice Phoenix.

But the biggest changes are not in appearance.

Luo Yun raised his hand and sensed the ice attribute within his body.

Not the same.

The ultimate ice.

The word popped into Luo Yun's mind. He didn't know if he was truly the ultimate ice, but the martial spirit deep within his body told him that his feeling was correct.

Moreover, it's not just about the evolution of martial souls or the creation of ultimate martial souls.

Luo Yun opened his eyes and stared at the deep blue pupils in the mirror.

He had a feeling, a feeling that was hard to describe, a sense of superiority that came from his very bones, as if he stood at the pinnacle of ice, and all ice should submit to him.

It wasn't that he thought so; it was his martial spirit telling him.

Ultimate Ice, the Ice Phoenix, the King of Ice.

Luo Yun stood in front of the mirror, staring at his face, which was both strange and familiar, and remained silent for a long time.

His appearance changed, his hair changed, and there were patterns on his back. His martial spirit evolved from Ice Falcon to Ice Phoenix, and his ice attribute became Ultimate Ice.

He put his clothes down to cover the pattern on his back, and then looked at his face in the mirror.

His features were still recognizable, only much more refined. The icy blue strands in his hair weren't very noticeable; they weren't very visible under indoor lighting, but they would definitely be quite obvious in sunlight.

"The problem now is... how do I explain this to my parents?" he said in a low voice.

You can't exactly say, "I slept last night and I changed," can you?
