Douluo Continent: I possess astonishing wisdom as I control energy!

This one point alone completely opened up Kong Ming'an's mind!

"Under normal circumstances, a Soul Master can condense at most three Soul Cores of different attributes, and then place them in the upper, middle, and lower dantian respectively."

"However, if I want to condense multiple single-attribute soul cores, it is obviously not enough to just focus on my body. Therefore, I have set my sights on soul rings."

Kong Ming'an spoke softly, holding the spirit ring in one hand, his fingertips covered with a faint layer of spirit power. With a slight force, he kneaded the originally ring-shaped spirit ring into various shapes.

"Spirit rings possess the characteristics of singularity, independence, malleability, self-healing ability, energy, and fusion."

"Modify the spirit ring to make it perfectly fit the spirit core, then use the spirit ring to support the spirit core, allowing the two to merge into one."

"In this way, the soul core can be independent of the outside of the body, yet integrated into the body, without affecting its own energy cycle."

"Even the energy storage capacity of the spirit ring itself can match the three-characteristic spirit core that I improved and optimized."

"Therefore, the limit to the number of soul cores that can be condensed will not be limited to the original three. Instead, each soul ring can carry one soul core, and having nine soul rings means carrying nine soul cores!"

Kong Ming'an's lips curled up slightly, and his voice even carried a hint of excitement.

The condensation of each soul core is equivalent to a transformation in the quality of soul power. With the Snow Empress's already limit-level foundation, condensing nine soul cores achieves nine transformations in soul power.

If a soul force has undergone nine transformations, can its quality be comparable to divine power?

Is mastering soul power of comparable quality to divine power the same as "becoming a god through soul power" in a certain sense? Is it a different path from the traditional one, where one collects the power of faith, forges a divine position, and becomes a deity?

Alternatively, after Elder Yi finishes his research on "Ring Fusion" and obtains a method to increase the age of a Soul Ring through Soul Ring fusion,

Based on this, can he fuse nine soul cores of the same attribute and achieve another transformation, thus becoming a "divine core" or "divine status" in some sense?

After a slight pause, Kong Ming'an smiled faintly and asked Hyotei in a soft voice,

"Any question?"

Perhaps it was because he was often asked questions by his junior brothers and sisters in his previous life that he was happy to answer other people's questions.

Of course, the main thing is that Hyotei's clear yet forcedly calm eyes are very interesting. I feel like I should buy Hyotei a bag of sunflower seeds.

"No problem."

At this moment, Hyotei had lost the arrogance she had shown when she first arrived. She no longer knew how to evaluate the person in front of her, whom she had previously regarded as "merely a human."

She was genuinely afraid that if she asked a few more questions, this guy might tell her something else that would overwhelm her understanding, and her brain was already a bit overloaded.

"Then you will be in charge of protecting the Dharma."

"Oh"

Hyotei replied sullenly, glanced at the calm Yukiteri beside her, but ultimately didn't say anything more. She moved a little away and jumped onto a chair not far away.

She kept her head down, dangling her legs, her golden eyes filled with frustration.

Her intuition told her that it seemed she really couldn't win back Xue Di.

Seeing that the Ice Emperor had retreated to a position where she wouldn't interfere with them, Kong Ming'an approached the Snow Emperor. He then lightly touched her brow and used his mental power to transmit information about the "Transformation Technique" he had tailored specifically for her to her.

Xue Di closed her eyes to receive the information, but after a moment, she opened them again, her icy blue eyes clear and bright.

"how?"

"It's not difficult, we can start right away."

It was tailor-made for her, and she had already undergone a transformation once, albeit unsuccessfully, which still served as experience.

The combination of the two meant she didn't have to do much preparation.

Kong Ming'an breathed a slight sigh of relief, then focused his attention, a faint blue light gleaming in his eyes, in preparation for any highly unlikely unexpected situations.

"Then let's get started."

The Snow Emperor nodded, and immediately, the aura of extreme ice and snow descended!

She stood in the center of the laboratory, her cool eyes gleaming with an icy blue light. Wisps of extreme cold emanated from her, quickly forming a tiny, frigid domain that perfectly enveloped her.

Then, a stream of icy blue light rose from this tiny area, like a cocoon of light, instantly enveloping the Snow Empress's graceful figure.

Transformation begins.

……

……

Time passed slowly, and more than half a month went by in the blink of an eye.

Inside the laboratory, Hyotei sat in a chair, idly fiddling with several exquisite soul-guiding components, but part of her attention remained focused on the ice-blue cocoon of light constructed from her domain not far away.

She could clearly sense that the Snow Emperor's aura was dormant within the cocoon of light, and the immense energy of the 700,000-year-old soul beast not only did not diminish in the slightest, but seemed to have become even more solid as it transformed, as some kind of constraint disappeared!

"A method of transformation that preserves one's cultivation level"

Hyotei muttered to herself the concept that Kong Ming'an had explained to her a few days ago, her thoughts drifting unconsciously.

The golden eyes shifted slightly, landing on the profile of the boy sitting cross-legged before the icy blue cocoon of light.

Looking at the boy's profile, Hyotei pursed his lips, his eyes filled with resentment.

From the moment the Snow Empress took human form, this guy, using an elemental body of unknown origin that clearly shared the same attributes and energy structure as the Snow Empress, stayed by her side without leaving her side.

And her spiritual perception never stopped, closely monitoring Xue Di's situation throughout. All of this made her seem like the outsider who was the one who had come out of nowhere!

I was here first! How did I become an outsider?

Hyotei gritted her teeth, but didn't know what to say, since she really couldn't argue with this guy.

Slumped over the lab table, Hyotei sighed dejectedly, continuing to fiddle with the delicate soul-guiding components, her eyes somewhat vacant.

But the next moment...

"Crack."

A very faint yet crystal-clear cracking sound suddenly reached Hyotei's ears.

She immediately looked up, towards the direction of the icy blue cocoon of light.

The surface of the once radiant cocoon now bore several clear cracks, which were spreading rapidly at a visible speed!

"Click. Click."

The cracking sounds grew more frequent, and cracks spread rapidly like a spider web across the icy blue cocoon of light. Finally, at a certain moment, it shattered with a deafening roar!

Countless icy blue fragments of light scattered and flew in all directions, then transformed into specks of icy blue fluorescence, lingering in the surroundings, like a dream.

At the center of the light, a figure appeared.

She remained tall and slender, her fitted white dress gently outlining her perfect curves, her long, snow-white hair cascading to her waist, and her icy blue eyes gleaming with a faint light.

She lowered her head slightly, looked at her slender, long fingers with a somewhat blank expression, clenched them gently, and then a flash of understanding appeared in her eyes.

She succeeded, truly transforming from a soul beast into a human.

Kong Ming'an stepped forward immediately and, without the slightest hesitation, reached out and grasped her wrist.

His soul power flowed through his fingertips, meticulously examining every energy flow and vital sign within her body.

This is to confirm whether the body's condition is stable and perfect after transformation.

After a moment, Kong Ming'an released his grip, breathed a sigh of relief, and relaxed his expression: "No problem, the transformation was very successful, there are no hidden dangers. How do you feel?"

Xue Di moved her body slightly, feeling this body that was completely different from before, her clear, cold voice carrying a hint of novelty:

"Very good. A very unique feeling."

She paused slightly, as if sensing something, and then the next moment, with a slight thought, all nine spirit rings rose up beneath her feet!

Black, black, red, red, red, red, red, red!

Two black and seven red!

A terrifying, suffocating surge of soul power instantly filled the entire laboratory; its immense power had undoubtedly reached the limits of a human soul master.

Level 99 Limit Douluo!

The Ice Empress carefully sensed the Snow Empress's aura and quickly confirmed that it was indeed the Snow Empress, only the life form had completely transformed from a soul beast into a human.

A thoughtful look flashed across Ice Emperor's eyes. Perhaps Snow Emperor was originally a humanoid soul beast, the Ice and Snow Maiden, so her appearance hardly changed after transforming.

Xue Di closed her eyes, carefully experiencing the sensations of being human. After a moment, she opened her eyes, her icy blue pupils filled with an indescribable complexity:

"I can feel that some kind of innate shackle on me seems to have disappeared."

"Moreover, I can no longer sense the next tribulation, which I used to be able to roughly perceive. It's as if the tribulation no longer sees me as its target?"

"What?!" Hyotei exclaimed, slightly surprised. "The Heavenly Tribulation has disappeared? It really disappeared?! Really, Snow Empress?"

The Snow Empress paused slightly, sensed it again, and then her tone became certain: "Yes, I'm sure, the Heavenly Tribulation has indeed disappeared."

Hyotei blinked her large eyes, utterly shocked. She involuntarily glanced at Kong Ming'an beside her, her expression completely changing.

She felt that this guy was getting more and more outrageous.

Kong Ming'an pondered for a moment, then said, "Snow Empress, why don't you try switching back to your original soul beast form?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Di nodded slightly, and then the seventh spirit ring beside her, the red spirit ring symbolizing the "anchor point" of her martial spirit true form, shone faintly.

A faint, icy-blue light emanated from Xue Di's body, lasting for about one or two seconds before dissipating.

The Ice Emperor, standing to the side, felt it most clearly; that incredibly familiar aura of the soul beast belonging to the ruler of the far north had returned once again!

Even though Xue Di seemed no different from before, she was certain that Xue Di had transformed back into a soul beast from human form!

"How are you feeling?" Kong Ming'an asked.

Xue Di frowned slightly, her tone carrying a clear hint of discomfort:

"That feeling of being shackled is back, and the perception of the heavenly tribulation has also reappeared."

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

Having just experienced the ease of being unburdened and free from heavenly tribulations, the heavy sense of constraint and the threatening feeling of a sword hanging over her head returned when she transformed back into a soul beast, making her inexplicably uncomfortable.

Kong Ming'an pondered for a moment, recalling a widely circulated rule of the divine realm: "Soul beasts cannot become gods."

The so-called shackles and heavenly tribulations are probably part of the rules.

He said softly, "Become human again."

Xue Di switched back to human form, her body visibly relaxing, and a complex expression appeared on her beautiful face.

Why do I feel like after becoming human, I never want to turn back into a soul beast? This feeling is so strange.

She fell silent for a moment, processing this novel and contradictory psychological change.

Next, Kong Ming'an began to record in detail the various data of Xue Di after her transformation, and once again took her hand, grasped her wrist, and inputted his soul power to carefully perceive the subtle changes in her meridians, dantian, and sea of ​​spirit.

Hyotei stood to the side, watching the two clasp hands again, feeling a tightness in his chest. He tried to speak, but had no reason to, and could only sit and watch, his heart filled with a sense of powerlessness.

A moment later, after testing Xue Di and confirming that there were no problems using the Martial Soul True Body as the "anchor point" for form switching, Kong Ming'an was completely relieved.

After the transformation is complete, the next step is to modify the soul rings and condense the soul core, and then perfectly combine the two.

Kong Ming'an looked at Xue Di, their eyes met, and without saying a word, they already understood each other.

"Leave everything else to me, don't resist," Kong Ming'an said softly. Xue Di understood and nodded slightly.

Then, under the gaze of Hyotei, Kongming An took the initiative to step forward and gently hug Yuki-tei.

Xue Di's body stiffened slightly, and a faint ripple appeared in her icy blue eyes, but she quickly relaxed, gently hugged Kong Ming'an back, and remained motionless.

Hyotei, watching from the side, remained silent, a strange numbness creeping into their hearts.

However, before Hyotei could process any more emotions, the two people embracing each other suddenly shone with a dazzling ice-blue light, which then completely engulfed their figures!

Hyotei was stunned. She clearly felt the auras of Kong Ming'an and Xue Di merge at this moment!

With eyes fixed on it, after a moment, the light gradually faded, and stepping out from within the light was a tall and slender young man.

He wore a magnificent and well-fitting moon-white robe, with delicate ice patterns embroidered on the lapels and cuffs. His long, snow-white hair was naturally draped over his shoulders, with a few strands falling to his chest, which accentuated his fair skin.

His face was handsome; upon closer inspection, he resembled Kong Ming'an by about seven-tenths, though this was likely the grown-up version.

Yet, his features possessed a touch of the Snow Emperor's unique, ethereal and aloof charm; his ice-blue eyes, like an ancient, frozen pool, shimmered with pure coldness and detachment.
