Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

"You have six attributes in your body, and you can't possibly combine them all at once."

"First, choose the easiest and most stable attribute to control, and condense the soul power of that attribute into a core."

"Once this soul core is stable, we can slowly fuse other types of soul power into it."

"Although this process will be long, it is at least much more reliable than trying to get fat in one go."

Wang Teng nodded thoughtfully, his mind racing with calculations.

Single attribute...

Which one should we choose?

His gaze unconsciously fell on his right leg.

The power in Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone is a wood-attribute power.

The 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, obtained from Ah Yin, has the highest purity and affinity for the wood attribute among all the attributes within him.

Moreover, Ah Yin is currently in his spiritual sea, providing him with wood attribute support at all times.

If Ah Yin can condense a wood-attribute soul core, she might be able to help.

Wood element, feasible.

But another thought popped into my head.

The experience of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire came to mind.

Wang Teng had already consumed the two immortal herbs, the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot.

If you want to condense a soul core with both ice and fire attributes—no, Dugu Bo meant to condense a single attribute first, since ice and fire are two different attributes, so it can't be considered a single attribute.

But what if we could only condense one of them? Fire? Or ice?

With the support of the Sacred Firebird Beyblade and the Flame Bird, the Fire Attribute has developed a complete consciousness and can help him stabilize his Fire Attribute energy.

Moreover, fire element is inherently very active, making it relatively easy to compress.

However, fire is too violent, and if it is not controlled properly during the condensation process, it may burn the meridians.

What about the ice attribute?

Although Wang Teng did not have a dedicated ice-attribute soul ring, the energy of the ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Marrow had already been integrated into his flesh and blood and his spiritual sea, and that extremely cold power was not to be underestimated.

Moreover, the ice attribute is more stable and restrained than the fire attribute, so it should be safer to compress it.

The problem is that Wang Teng doesn't have any soul rings or sacred beasts that directly correspond to the ice attribute; he only has the energy from the Xuanbing Marrow.

That's something that was just absorbed; we don't know if there will be any problems.

What about the Earth element?

The Supreme Golden Armor Spinning Top is of the Earth attribute, and the Vajra Armor has also gained consciousness. Moreover, the Earth attribute is the most stable of all attributes, being heavy, inclusive, easily compressible, and stable.

If you condense an earth-attribute soul core, the success rate might be the highest among all attributes.

Wang Teng's mind raced, several possibilities taking turns in his mind, which he weighed, compared, and filtered one by one.

Seeing that Wang Teng remained silent for a long time, Dugu Bo did not urge him.

He stood up, brushed the grass clippings off his robe, and leaped back onto the tree, continuing to keep watch for any movement around him.

Wang Teng sat alone in the center of the camp, staring at his palm, lost in thought.

Wind, fire, poison, earth, wood, metal...

Six attributes, six choices.

Should we choose the most stable soil?

Or should we choose fire or wood, which are supported by sacred beasts and soul bones?

Or it could be the ice from the Xuanbing Marrow. Although ice is not among the six attributes, its power is real and so strong that it cannot be ignored.

Wang Teng closed his eyes, and the soul power within his body slowly circulated. Six colors of light flashed alternately within him, as if silently proclaiming his advantages and reasons.

He has to make this choice himself.

Chapter 454 Choice Between Ice and Fire, Condensing a Severe Injury

The morning mist hadn't completely dissipated, and the mountain air was cool and refreshing, carrying the scent of pine resin and damp mud.

Wang Teng sat alone in the center of the camp, his hands on his knees, having been silent for a long time.

Dugu Bo changed his position on the tree, from lying down to sitting, with one leg dangling down the branch and swinging back and forth.

He didn't urge Wang Teng; this was a decision that no one could force or do for him.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing remained silent, sitting at a distance on the edge of the camp, occasionally exchanging worried glances, but refraining from disturbing the peace.

Finally, Wang Teng raised his head.

His gaze was calm, as if he had figured something out. The hesitation and entanglement had faded from Wang Teng's face, replaced by a sense of certainty.

"I figured it out."

Wang Teng made up his mind.

Dugu Bo poked his head out from the tree and asked, "Which one do you choose?"

"Ultimate Ice and Fire, Dual-Attribute Soul Core".

Wang Teng's voice wasn't loud, but he pronounced every word clearly.

Dugu Bo froze.

He was about to climb down from the tree, with one leg already out, when he heard this and paused in mid-air, almost falling off the tree.

Dugu Bo rolled over and landed, then walked a few steps to Wang Teng. He frowned and stared at him for a long time, as if trying to confirm whether the kid had gone mad.

"A dual-attribute soul core, or is it the so-called ultimate?"

Dugu Bo's voice rose several octaves as he said, "Didn't you hear what I just said?"

"Ice and fire are mutually exclusive, and water and fire are incompatible. If you condense ice and fire attributes at the same time, you will explode and die if you are not careful."

"Do you think this is like cooking porridge, where you can throw anything into the pot?"

Wang Teng did not argue.

He simply raised his head, looked into Dugu Bo's eyes, and said calmly, "Senior, I once consumed two immortal herbs, the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom, at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

Dugu Bo was taken aback upon hearing this.

"The two immortal herbs from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?"

Dugu Bo's brows furrowed even more.

"Correct."

Wang Teng nodded and said, "The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass brought me the origin of ultimate ice, and the Blazing Apricot Blossom brought me the origin of ultimate fire."

"These two forces have coexisted within me for many years and have never clashed."

"They are not mutually exclusive, but rather a balance, a perfect, dynamic balance."

"I think that if I want to condense a soul core, there is no better choice than ice and fire."

Dugu Bo fell silent.

He stroked his beard, his gaze sweeping over Wang Teng's face several times, as if judging how much truth and how much rashness lay in those words.

Dugu Bo certainly knew about the two immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. He had seen them countless times when he was at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

But consuming the immortal herb is one thing, while fusing the power of the immortal herb with the soul core is another.

The concept of balancing ice and fire sounds simple, but in reality, it's like dancing on a knife's edge.

But Wang Teng's eyes didn't seem to be acting on impulse.

Those eyes were bright and steady, like two stones polished by the river for thousands of years, smooth yet hard.

"Have you figured it out?"

Dugu Bo asked one last question.

"I've thought it through."

"No regrets?"

"No regrets."

Therefore, Dugu Bo did not try to persuade him any further.

He gave Wang Teng a deep look, then turned and walked back to the tree. He sat cross-legged against the trunk and closed his eyes.

Dugu Bo did not return to the tree, but instead chose a position closer to Wang Teng.

In case something goes wrong, this distance will make it easier for him to make a move.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also overheard Wang Teng and Dugu Bo's conversation.

Ning Rongrong opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Zhu Zhuqing grabbed her sleeve.

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head at her, meaning: Don't say anything, he has already made up his mind.

Wang Teng closed his eyes again.

He didn't rush to begin condensing the energy; instead, he first sorted out all the power within his body.

In the Sea of ​​Spirit, the frozen lake surface was as calm as a mirror. The sacred beasts quietly stayed in their respective corners, and upon sensing their master's will, they all opened their eyes.

Ah Yin stood in the middle of the lake, her deep blue hair shimmering with a pale blue luster under the reflection of the ice.

The flaming bird crouched in a corner of the lake, its flames kept low, as if afraid of melting the icy plain.

The armored creature lay on the ice, its golden shell reflecting the icy light.

The Howling Tiger lay at Ah Yin's feet, its tail swishing leisurely.

The leopard moved nimbly across the ice, its gold and silver fur shimmering in the icy light.

The shadow bat hung upside down on the edge of the sea of ​​spirit, its eerie green eyes blinking.

Wang Teng's consciousness coalesced in the sea of ​​spirit and stood before A Yin.
