"Qiuqiu, the arrival of the Patriarch is a heaven-sent opportunity for you."
Looking at her daughter who had not yet fallen asleep, Nan Shuishui's face was full of motherly affection.
"Mother, what do you mean?"
Nan Qiuqiu frowned upon hearing this, a look of confusion in her beautiful eyes.
"Tomorrow, our Earth Dragon Sect will hold a competition among the younger generation. The strongest among them will earn the qualification to train with the Shui family."
Nan Shuishui explained.
At first, Nan Qiuqiu thought her mother intended to arrange a marriage with the Shui Patriarch, and she felt a slight relief upon hearing this.
However, she still felt confused.
As the Holy Maiden of the Earth Dragon Sect, what did training with the Shui family have to do with her?
Seeing this, Nan Shuishui sighed inwardly, knowing her daughter's simple nature.
"The Shui family possesses powerful techniques passed down for over ten thousand years. If you can obtain the qualification to train with them, our Earth Dragon Sect will truly rise."
Nan Shuishui's words were filled with earnest concern as she explained the importance of training with the Shui family.
Nan Qiuqiu gradually understood.
"Mother, I will win the championship in tomorrow's competition and earn the qualification to train with the Shui family."
Although Nan Qiuqiu still felt some hesitation, she ultimately made the promise for the future of the Earth Dragon Sect and her mother's expectations.
At the same time, the news about the competition to determine who would train with the Shui family had spread throughout the Earth Dragon Sect.
There are no secrets that remain hidden.
The elders who attended the meeting, despite losing their chance to compete, still aimed to have their disciples enter the Shui family for training.
"Da Hu, what did your master mysteriously tell you just now?"
"My master said that tomorrow the sect master will hold a competition, and the winner among the Earth Dragon Sect disciples will get the chance to train with the Shui family."
"My master told me the same thing and insisted that I must win the championship."
"This seems unwise. Such things are risky, and entering the Shui family alone seems dangerous. We'd be better off watching from the sidelines."
"As expected of Senior Brother Qi, your words are very wise. We should focus more on our senior and junior sisters. I heard that Little Zhang is now accompanying Senior Sister for practice."
"…"
The news spread quickly, and soon almost all the younger disciples of the Earth Dragon Sect were aware of the competition.
Most disciples were curious but did not take it too seriously.
Time flew by...
Under the cool moonlight, the Earth Dragon Sect was silent, with most people already in their dreams or in a meditative state.
However, in the most luxurious palace of the Earth Dragon Sect, where Shui Wuya was resting, he was wide awake.
"I have mastered the first ten forms of the Ice God Thirteen Forms, but without divine power in my body, even mastering all thirteen forms will only allow me to exhibit power up to the level of a demi-god."
"Although the Snow Killing Spear is a ninth-level soul tool, it is beginning to show its limitations in battles against Ultimate Douluos. In essence, the quality of the Snow Killing Spear is lacking."
"Eight soul techniques, six soul bones, six soul spirits, plus the Slaughter Ice Domain and the Shui family's secret techniques—all these give me extraordinary methods that enable my real combat power to far exceed that of a Soul Douluo, reaching the level of a Super Douluo, but I can't go further."
In the hall, Shui Wuya sat cross-legged on a cushion, pondering over his current abilities.
By his estimation, without using mental power, his real combat power was around the level of a 95th-level Super Douluo.
"My strongest method now is to fuse the mental power of the six soul spirits with my fifth soul technique, boosting my mental power to a three-million-year level, granting me combat ability surpassing an Ultimate Douluo."
"But if I face a strong opponent specialized in mental power or an enemy from the divine realm, I fear I won't be able to defeat them with mental power alone."
Shui Wuya pondered, racking his brains on how to increase his combat strength.
He felt his methods were too varied and lacked the specialization that mental power training had, which could be a disadvantage in the future.
"Maybe I can use my mental power to try to fuse soul ring techniques, soul bone techniques, and the Ice God Thirteen Forms. This might grant me even greater power."
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind—a bold and unprecedented thought.
Without hesitation, Shui Wuya began channeling his soul power, manifesting his Ice Phoenix martial soul. Three black, four red, and one gold soul rings instantly surrounded him.
Simultaneously, he activated his second martial soul, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, though its soul rings did not appear.
Shui Wuya then directed his soul power into his six soul bones, and a surge of extreme cold erupted from within his organs.
"Shua!"
In an instant, the dazzling light from the eight soul rings illuminated the entire hall, and the extreme cold wrapped around the hall like an ice dragon.
Within moments, Shui Wuya's mental power soared to a three-million-year level as he fused the mental power of his six soul spirits.
With his powerful mental control, his soul power flowed like a dragon and phoenix, precisely activating the six soul bones.
Six different forces erupted within him.
But this was just the beginning.
A moment later, a three-meter-tall Ice God phantom appeared behind Shui Wuya. He controlled the Ice God artifact with his left hand, unleashing the terrifying power of the Ice God Thirteen Forms.
Three seconds later, his seventh soul ring flashed, and a scarlet, eerie light filled the hall as he activated his seventh soul technique, True Form of the Martial Soul.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
At this moment, as various forces merged within him, transforming Shui Wuya into a three-meter Ice Phoenix, a violent rumble echoed from his body.
The forces, being inherently different, reacted strongly with each other, making Shui Wuya's aura increasingly violent, and his Ice Phoenix eyes turned blood red!
Time passed by the second.
Relying on his strong mental power, Shui Wuya forced the various forces to merge, trying to find a common ground.
Suddenly, another idea struck him: to use the confinement power of the Slaughter Ice Domain to accelerate the fusion of the various forces.
However, this time, the outcome did not go as Shui Wuya had expected.
As soon as he released the Slaughter Ice Domain, the various forces within him lost control and went berserk!
Damn!
In an instant, Shui Wuya's expression changed dramatically!
