Chapter 71: Snow Empress, Ice Emperor, A'tai, and Ice Bear King Transformed
At the moment, the soul beasts in the Extreme North had all been subdued, and with 11 remaining contract spots, a hidden task had been activated — the task was related to the number of contracted beasts.
Ye Wen naturally had to find a way to subdue more soul beasts.
But right now, the known soul beasts above the 100,000-year level on the continent were few: one, Xiao Wu the Soft Bone Rabbit who remained by Tang San's side; the Dark Demon Evil Tiger in the Star Dou Forest; and the group of soul beasts led by the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian.
Finding Di Tian and his group would be difficult, and Ye Wen couldn't just casually subdue soul beasts that hadn't reached the 100,000-year mark to complete the contract.
He thought about it for a moment and decided to temporarily halt the plan of subduing more soul beasts and wait until Gu Yue recovered her memories.
Ye Wen knew that it wouldn't take long for Na'er to regain her memories, and that would bring back Gu Yue's true persona.
At that time, he could ask Gu Yue about Di Tian and his group.
With his objectives mostly achieved, Ye Wen decided it was time to leave the Extreme North. He turned to ask, "Are you willing to follow us to the human world? Snow Empress, do you want to go?"
"What is the human world like?" Snow Empress asked.
A'tai, Ice Bear King, and Ice Emperor didn't ask because they weren't very interested in the human world, but Snow Empress seemed quite curious.
"The human world is lively, prosperous, and full of vitality, but it's also full of deceit, struggle, and evil. For you, it can be a beautiful place, but it can also be a dirty one. It all depends on how you approach it, how you perceive the human world," Ye Wen said seriously.
He had long expected that only Snow Empress would be interested in the human world.
She had long grown tired of her current life, and it made her feel lonely and isolated.
"I want to see it for myself," Snow Empress said seriously.
"Okay, then I'll take you to the human world."
"Since Snow Empress is going, I'll go to the human world as well, to accompany her," Ice Emperor also said.
"What about you two, A'tai, Ice Bear King?"
"I have no interest in the human world. I want to stay in the Extreme North," A'tai said.
"If this guy isn't going, then I'm not going either. Otherwise, my Ice Bear tribe wouldn't even know how badly they'd be bullied by that Titan Snow Demon tribe," Ice Bear King grumbled.
"So, A'tai and Ice Bear King will stay behind, and Snow Empress and Ice Emperor will come with us to the human world. In that case, you should absorb these two immortal herbs now," Ye Wen said as he pulled out two immortal herbs.
In the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, there were over a hundred immortal herbs, and Ye Wen would choose the most suitable one for each soul beast under contract.
"What's this?"
"Absorbing these will greatly enhance your human form cultivation speed. It will likely bring your soul power to level 20."
"Okay, we'll absorb them right away."
A'tai and Ice Bear King immediately sat down to absorb the herbs, and their soul power surged rapidly. Level 14! Level 15! Level 16! Level 17! Level 18! Level 19! Level 20!
A'tai and Ice Bear King each rose by seven levels!
Ye Wen suspected that if it weren't for the level 20 cap, they could have risen another one or two levels.
"Wow, these herbs are amazing! It really took my soul power directly to level 20!" Ice Bear King said, amazed.
"Heh, now you can continue to condense your second soul ring."
"Okay!"
A'tai and Ice Bear King began to condense their second soul ring. Very soon, their second rings formed: Ice Bear King's was a 1,000-year ring, and A'tai's third soul ring was 1,500 years.
Their soul power surged again: level 21, level 22, level 23, rising by another three levels.
They both reached level 23 soul power!
In just one day, they had increased from innate full soul power level 10 to level 23, a rise of 13 levels in a single day!
This was the terrifying speed of soul beast transformation and soul power growth under Ye Wen's contract!
"That's insane! With my current power, I feel like I could take on a 1,000-year soul beast! And this all happened in just one day! The growth rate of humans is truly terrifying!" Ice Bear King and A'tai said, both amazed and in awe.
After all, when they were small soul beasts, it took hundreds of years to grow to a 1,000-year level.
For a human to transform in just one day and reach this level of power... it was enough to astonish them.
"Hey hey hey, Ye Wen, they get immortal herbs, but what about Snow Empress and me?" Ice Emperor said with a bit of dissatisfaction.
Snow Empress also looked at Ye Wen expectantly.
Da Ming and Er Ming were mumbling in their hearts, "Don't even talk about you two, we haven't even had the immortal herbs the master gave us yet!"
Ye Wen noticed everyone's expressions and smiled helplessly. "Don't worry, each of you will get one. The herbs have such good effects that they can directly boost you by several levels, so I didn't give them to Da Ming and Er Ming yet."
"Also, Snow Empress and Ice Emperor, with your soul power at level 14, if you absorb the herbs now, it'll only boost you by 6 levels at most. In my opinion, absorbing them now would be a waste of their full potential."
"So, I was thinking, I'll give you the herbs after your soul power breaks through to the second ring."
"I understand, Ice Emperor, you have your considerations," Snow Empress nodded.
"Now, let's leave the Extreme North," Ye Wen said.
"Okay! Let's go to the human world!" Ice Emperor said excitedly.
"The human world..." Snow Empress nodded. She appeared calm, but deep down, she was even more eager and excited than Ice Emperor.
With that, Snow Empress and Ice Emperor joined Ye Wen's group as new members.
Everyone quickly left the Extreme North.
Meanwhile, a group of human soul masters was entering the Extreme North. These soul beasts were from the largest soul master faction on the continent, the Spirit Hall!
They planned to hunt a 50,000-year ice-type soul beast and bring it back. So, they headed closer to the inner region.
One of the soul masters with exceptional reconnaissance abilities happened to spot Ye Wen and his group switching to their human forms.
"Ah!"
The human soul master couldn't help but exclaim, and that sound instantly alerted Ye Wen and the others.
"Hmm?"
"Humans!? With that kind of clothing, could they be... from the Spirit Hall!"
Ye Wen's expression changed instantly.
