Chapter 251: Snow Empress's Thoughts
"What level has Snow Empress reached now?"
Lin Qinghan hugged Ice Empress in return, but unfortunately, she was too short. When standing upright, he couldn't reach her waist and had to settle for hugging her shoulders.
After being embraced, Ice Empress quickly calmed down. Lin Qinghan then turned his attention to Snow Empress.
"She's already level 71, but I used 600,000 years of stored energy on my seventh spirit ring. From now on, I'll have to hunt spirit beasts to get my spirit rings like an ordinary Spirit Master."
Watching Ice Empress clinging tightly to Lin Qinghan, a subtle hint of envy flickered in Snow Empress's eyes. After all, she had also been a solitary figure since birth.
Later, although she had Ice Empress as a sister and the Ice Bear King (an adopted son in name, but essentially a pet), her heart remained distant. Snow Empress was always more human-like than beast-like, but when she was born, humanity on the Douluo Continent was still in a primitive state—eating raw meat and drinking blood.
The soul beast world was brutal and lifeless, gradually numbing her emotions. But after spending time in the colorful human world, Snow Empress began to develop some truly human feelings.
Now, she had a budding curiosity toward romantic relationships—especially with Lin Qinghan, who had helped her greatly.
Even Ice Empress, who was once entirely indifferent to such things, had fallen in love with Lin Qinghan. Snow Empress wondered: What would it be like to be with Lin Qinghan?
That thought lingered for a moment. Influenced by her evolving emotions and body, Snow Empress found herself daydreaming like an ordinary young woman.
Her daze lasted only a few seconds. Realizing she was overthinking, Snow Empress quickly brushed aside her thoughts, then summoned her Spirit and displayed her spirit rings.
Her martial spirit was her former self: a stunningly elegant phantom with a cold expression, regal bearing, and a dazzling ice crystal crown.
But her spirit rings had changed.
Her first and second spirit rings, originally purple thousand-year rings, were now pitch-black ten-thousand-year rings.
All remaining spirit rings—except the seventh—were also ten-thousand-year rings. But the seventh spirit ring stood out: it was red with six golden lines, marking it as a 600,000-year spirit ring.
After reincarnating, Snow Empress followed what she believed was the optimal cultivation path. She used the energy she had stored to form six ten-thousand-year rings, then poured all the remaining energy into the seventh—creating a nearly 700,000-year ring.
During her transformation, she studied human cultivation extensively. She had learned that the most powerful amplification skill of Spirit Masters—the martial spirit true body—was stronger the older the spirit ring.
Snow Empress didn't need spirit skills from spirit rings; instead, she deliberately shaped her first six rings as pure amplification-type skills for herself.
As for why her originally thousand-year purple rings had now turned pitch-black ten-thousand-year rings?
Only Snow Empress could answer that. Even Lin Qinghan could only enhance his spirit rings' age forcibly with divine sense—and even he couldn't fully condense spirit rings yet due to limitations in divine power.
"Level 71? That's a pretty fast breakthrough. If you want to surpass your past strength, I have a suggestion—how about condensing your soul core in advance?"
Seeing Snow Empress's aggressive and unique cultivation method, Lin Qinghan offered an idea.
Spirit beasts and humans have different physiologies. Although soul beasts can store vast amounts of soul power, they can only form two soul cores.
Moreover, forming a second requires a Yin-Yang complementary dual core—extremely difficult for soul beasts. That's why even 500,000-year soul beasts couldn't match Extreme Douluo in strength.
But now Snow Empress had transformed into a human. She had matured, and her physiology was identical to that of a human. That's why Lin Qinghan suggested she start forming soul cores early.
With her mental power, comparable to her peak self, condensing soul cores at the Soul Saint level shouldn't be too hard.
And if it did become difficult later on, Lin Qinghan could assist. Although he hadn't yet reached true godhood, his divine consciousness was enough to help others condense soul cores.
"Condense soul cores in advance? Like you?"
Seeing her intrigued, Lin Qinghan explained in more detail.
In short, it was like the original story's protagonist—condense one soul core at Soul Saint, another when breaking through Titled Douluo, and a third upon reaching Limit Douluo.
Originally, Snow Empress might have managed dual Yin-Yang soul cores at the Limit Douluo stage. But forming them at level 90 would have been almost impossible.
However, with Lin Qinghan's support and her own talent, that possibility was now within reach.
"Can it really work?"
Snow Empress was visibly moved by his proposal. If she succeeded, she would undoubtedly become far stronger than she was at her peak.
"I've always done it this way. I condensed my first soul core as early as the Soul King stage. It's a big reason I've been able to fight opponents way above my level."
"Then I'll give it a try. If I really decide to form soul cores early, you have to help me."
Snow Empress had already made up her mind to experiment. But as she spoke, her eyes drifted to Ice Empress, who was still nestled in Lin Qinghan's arms—and her words paused awkwardly.
Is love really that amazing? Ice Empress is completely obsessed...
