Half a month later, in the evening, inside the bedroom.
Thanks to the massive increase in spiritual power brought about by consuming the Delicate Silk Immortal, combined with the fact that it was merely a matter of altering the elemental attributes of an existing meditation method, Mu Yang had finally deduced the Iceflame Meditation Method.
In the world of Douluo Dalu, ultimate attributes were a unique phenomenon. Even the same elemental type could have different variations of ultimate attributes.
For example, with ice-elemental power, there existed not only the Ultimate Ice attribute but also a variant of it known as Ultimate Ice Snow.
The two might appear similar but were distinct in certain ways.
The best-known examples of this distinction were two of the Ten Great Beasts in later generations: the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion (Ice Emperor) who wielded Ultimate Ice and the Snow Empress who controlled Ultimate Ice Snow.
Similarly, for the light element, there was Ultimate Light as well as a variant known as Ultimate Holy Light.
A pure-blooded Bright Holy Dragon possessed Ultimate Light, while the variant, Ultimate Holy Light, was likely characteristic of the Six-Winged Angel martial soul. Even if not at lower levels, at the demigod stage, both Qian Daoliu and the god-ascended Qian Renxue would undoubtedly wield Ultimate Holy Light.
Moreover, ultimate attributes were not limited to singular elemental powers. Fusion of elements could also result in ultimate attributes, and even non-elemental powers had their own ultimate variations, such as Ultimate Strength, Ultimate Speed, and more.
The Iceflame Meditation Method, an ice-fire fusion attribute meditation technique, absorbed both ice and fire elemental energies from the surroundings to transform them into a unique iceflame-attribute soul power.
Similar to the Extreme Flame Meditation Method, continuous cultivation of the Iceflame Meditation Method would allow the attributes of Mu Yang's martial souls to evolve toward Ultimate Iceflame.
However, before achieving Ultimate Iceflame, the Ice Fire Immortal Jade Ginseng martial soul needed to evolve from its dual-attribute state into a fusion-attribute state, thus becoming a true Iceflame martial soul.
Regardless, whether it was the Ice Flame Saint Shadow advancing toward Ultimate Iceflame or the two-stage evolution of the Ice Fire Immortal Jade Ginseng, Mu Yang didn't need to worry. He simply needed to focus on cultivating the Iceflame Meditation Method. Over time, these evolutions would naturally come to fruition.
While Mu Yang was busy deducing the Iceflame Meditation Method over the past few days, Huo Wu and the others weren't idle either.
Due to their relatively low soul power levels, both Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang had mastered the basics of Solar Body Refinement. Two days ago, both had reached the level thresholds corresponding to their soul power ranks.
Huo Wushuang, already close to breaking through to the 30th rank Soul Elder, was further motivated by being surpassed by his younger sister. Yesterday, he finally advanced to the 30th rank. By now, the two had already been taken by Huo Lie to the Sunset Forest to hunt for soul rings.
Of course, after obtaining her soul ring and advancing, Huo Wushuang's soul power rank would inevitably be left far behind by Huo Wu once again.
Only after Huo Lie achieved the nine-ring Titled Douluo level and obtained a Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng from Bai He of the Speed Clan for Huo Wushuang would he have any chance of catching up to his sister.
During this time, another significant breakthrough occurred within the academy. Following Mu Xiyue, the nearly sixty-year-old Vice Dean Chi Chengyan, whose soul power had been stuck at the bottleneck of the 79th rank Soul Saint level, broke through to become an 80th rank quasi-Soul Douluo.
Chi Chengyan's breakthrough wasn't due to Huo Lie teaching him the Extreme Flame Meditation Method but rather thanks to Mu Yang giving Huo Lie a Nine-Treasure Purple Zoysia. Huo Lie then passed the herb to Chi Chengyan.
While the Nine-Treasure Purple Zoysia wasn't an immortal herb, it still possessed transformative effects and helped Chi Chengyan break through his bottleneck to reach the 80th rank.
Three days later, Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu returned from their soul ring hunt.
As expected, after adding a 7,000-year-old third soul ring, Huo Wushuang's soul power rose to 32nd rank Soul Elder.
However, Huo Wu's advancement surpassed Mu Yang's predictions. After attaching her nearly 7,000-year-old third soul ring, her soul power immediately increased to the 36th rank Soul Elder.
Excluding the two levels brought by the third soul ring itself, the Rooster Crest Phoenix Sunflower had given her an additional six levels of soul power.
If not for the high quality of their soul power cultivated through the Extreme Flame Meditation Method, which required greater accumulation to advance, the 7,000-year third soul ring might have increased their soul power by three levels instead of two.
A week later, Blazing Fire Academy welcomed two guests—Shui Yan Yu, the dean of Sky Water Academy, and Feng Zhen, the dean of Divine Wind Academy.
Given the dangers of the Star Dou Forest and their target being three 90,000-year soul beasts, Huo Lie was cautious and decided to invite these two formidable allies for support.
Although a 90,000-year soul beast was far weaker than a 100,000-year one, its strength was still formidable, comparable to an ordinary Titled Douluo in one-on-one combat.
However, soul masters rarely fought fair
If a one-on-one battle wasn't feasible, a group fight was always an option.
The hunting team consisted of one 90th rank quasi-Titled Douluo (Huo Lie), two Soul Douluos with soul power exceeding the 85th rank (Shui Yan Yu and Feng Zhen), and two 80th rank quasi-Soul Douluos (Mu Xiyue and Chi Chengyan). This lineup was more than capable of taking down a 90,000-year soul beast.
After successfully hunting the first 90,000-year soul beast, one of the three leading figures would likely advance, altering the team composition.
If fortune favored them, the lineup for future hunts would include one Titled Douluo, two Soul Douluos, and two quasi-Soul Douluos.
Even in the worst-case scenario, the team would still consist of one quasi-Titled Douluo, three Soul Douluos, and one quasi-Soul Douluo.
Although Huo Lie could have sought assistance from Dugu Bo, the Heaven Dou Empire, or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, all of whom would have been willing to help, he chose not to.
The primary reason was that hunting 90,000-year soul beasts wasn't particularly dangerous, and showing strength to Sky Water Academy and Divine Wind Academy served a purpose.
By demonstrating Blazing Fire Academy's growing power, Huo Lie aimed to foster a sense of alliance among the three academies. When the time came to propose uniting the elemental academies, this groundwork would help achieve the goal naturally.
