Zhu Ziyang wanted to announce the Soul Spirit System, and first needed to inform Mu En. As his teacher and the recognized leader of the Spirit Master's world, Mu En could play a crucial role in the establishment and promotion of the Soul Spirit System.
Therefore, Zhu Ziyang sought out Mu En.
"Teacher, do you still remember the Soul Spirit contract and Soul Spirit I told you about back then?" In the Sea God Pavilion hall, Zhu Ziyang and Mu En sat opposite each other. Zhu Ziyang's expression was calm, and his tone was peaceful as he spoke.
"Oh?" Mu En's face showed a curious expression. He said, "Since you brought it up, it means you have already made breakthrough progress. Not bad, tell me about it, I am also looking forward to it."
"That's right!" Zhu Ziyang's face showed a hint of pride, then he directly summoned his three great Soul Spirits and shouted, "Xue'er, Bing'er, Shuang'er, come out!"
The three great Soul Spirits, Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Second Shuang, emerged one after another from Zhu Ziyang's body, landing on his shoulders and chest. Each of them looked calmly at the old human man opposite them.
And Mu En's ancient eyes were also full of curiosity, as he observed the infant girl, scorpion, and small dragon floating out from Zhu Ziyang. His mouth involuntarily opened and closed, exclaiming, "Are these Soul Spirits? They are truly amazing!"
"Teacher, this is the Ice Snow Maiden, Snow Empress, now called Xue'er!" Zhu Ziyang first introduced Snow Empress to Mu En. After all, Snow Empress was not only his first Soul Spirit, but also the most powerful among his Soul Spirits.
"This concubine recognizes you, human!" Before Mu En could speak, Snow Empress spoke first. She said, "You once visited the Extremely North Land!"
"Hahaha! That's right! When I was young, I did go to the Extremely North Land, but I didn't have the chance to witness your grace, Snow Empress!" Mu En couldn't help but laugh heartily and said, "However, it's also fortunate that I didn't see you, otherwise I wouldn't be alive today!"
"Hmph! You have a good understanding of yourself!" Snow Empress proudly raised her small head.
"Xue'er, do not be rude to teacher!" Zhu Ziyang heard the conversation between Snow Empress and Mu En, and subconsciously frowned, saying to Snow Empress.
"I was wrong, Papa!" Snow Empress heard the displeasure in Zhu Ziyang's tone, and immediately lowered her head, feeling wronged.
"Hahaha, it's alright!" Mu En was surprised to hear Snow Empress's address to Zhu Ziyang, but he was more curious. He said, "Ziyang, can Snow Empress still maintain such powerful strength in her Soul Spirit state? I feel that her current strength is almost on par with mine!"
"Teacher, Snow Empress is a special existence. As the first Soul Spirit between heaven and earth, she will naturally be different from other Soul Spirits." Zhu Ziyang explained, "After she became a Soul Spirit, she could retain 80% of her original strength, so she is now equivalent to a 500,000-year Spirit Beast. However, the strength of other Soul Spirits can only be maintained at about 80% of the Spirit Master's strength."
To prove his point, Zhu Ziyang then introduced Ice Empress and Second Shuang. He said, "Teacher, look, this is Ice Empress, and this is Second Shuang. They were both 100,000-Year Soul Beast level existences before, but now they only have Spirit Emperor cultivation."
"So that's how it is!" Mu En heard this and suddenly understood. Then he smiled and nodded to Ice Empress and Second Shuang. Immediately, he said to Zhu Ziyang, "Ziyang, besides retaining the intelligence and part of the strength from their former lives, what else can these Soul Spirits provide to a Spirit Master?"
"According to our estimations, each Soul Spirit can provide a Spirit Master with two to three spirit rings. A Spirit Master can generally have three to four Soul Spirits, and the strength of the Soul Spirits will also grow with the growth of the Spirit Master's strength," Zhu Ziyang explained.
"In this way, not only can it alleviate the crisis of the decreasing Spirit Beasts, but it can also enhance the strength of Spirit Masters. It's truly killing two birds with one stone!" Mu En couldn't help but smile and said, "Ziyang, your creation will undoubtedly change the entire landscape of the Spirit Master's world!"
"Hehe! Teacher, before changing the landscape of the Spirit Master's world, we still want to equip ourselves first!" Zhu Ziyang said with a smile, "Only by always mastering the most advanced technology can we avoid being constrained by others, just like with spirit tools!"
"Very good!" Mu En nodded with satisfaction and said, "Regarding this matter of Soul Spirits, for now, do not make it public within the academy. We can inform a few elders, and then select a few absolutely trustworthy students to experiment with. When you officially take over the Sea God Pavilion, then we can promote it fully!"
"Teacher, isn't that too much trouble?" Zhu Ziyang said, feeling surprised.
"This is your achievement, so you naturally need to personally handle it!" Mu En, however, was firm and said, "I cannot steal my disciple's credit!"
"Alright, Teacher, I understand!" Zhu Ziyang nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"Then, let's convene a Sea God Pavilion meeting now!" Mu En said with a smile.
Because it was a Sea God Pavilion meeting personally convened by Mu En, the elders dared not delay and almost all arrived instantly. Xuan Zi, Old Lin, Old Song, Old Zhuang, Xian Lin'er, Cai Meier, and Qian Duoduo—these were all the current members of the Sea God Pavilion meeting.
Mu En directly and clearly stated the purpose of this Sea God Pavilion meeting to everyone, and then immediately had Zhu Ziyang demonstrate.
The best way to demonstrate was naturally combat, so Xuan Zi, who had just recovered not long ago, was chosen. He would spar with Zhu Ziyang's Snow Empress Soul Spirit.
A group of Titled Douluo and one Spirit Emperor arrived at an uninhabited open field, and the battle was about to begin.
"Ziyang, begin!" Xuan Zi stood opposite Zhu Ziyang and said with a smile, "Don't worry about hurting me, my defense is still very strong!"
Zhu Ziyang naturally had no reservations upon hearing Xuan Zi's words. He said with a smile, "Then, Old Xuan, be careful! Xue'er, go all out, don't hold back, and don't worry about me!"
"Understood, Papa!" Snow Empress nodded her small head, floated in front of Zhu Ziyang, and looked coldly at Xuan Zi opposite her with her large eyes.
Snow began to fall from the sky. The infant-like Snow Empress began to rapidly grow larger under everyone's gaze. In two or three breaths, she transformed from a two or three-year-old infant into a stunning girl of fifteen or sixteen, her cold and exquisite demeanor, amidst the fluttering snowflakes, was like an Empress.
Everyone present, even Mu En, was seeing the true appearance of the Ice Snow Maiden, Snow Empress, for the first time. They had long been familiar with the reputation of this renowned King of the Extremely North!
The battle began. Snow Empress, strictly adhering to Zhu Ziyang's instructions, had no intention of holding back. She directly raised her slender, snow-white jade hand, and an extremely cold airflow swirled around it. The snowflakes in the sky were also drawn by this airflow, accelerating and transforming into flying knives capable of cutting through metal and jade. As Snow Empress pushed out her palm, the extremely cold airflow immediately gathered all the snowflake flying blades, forming an incomparably huge, spherical snow blade flying flower that rapidly flew towards Xuan Zi!
Emperor's Palm: Great Cold Without Snow!
Xuan Zi, on the opposite side, had not dared to underestimate her since Snow Empress revealed her true form. He directly activated his Martial Soul True Body, the second stage of True Body possession. The Gourmand Divine Cow transformed into armor covering his body, his eyes were solemn, and he clenched his fists, swinging them out fiercely to strike the snow blade flying flower launched by Snow Empress.
The snow blade flying flower shattered with a bang, instantly engulfing Xuan Zi in an immeasurable amount of snowflakes. However, Snow Empress's attack did not stop. After the Emperor's Palm, the Emperor's Sword followed closely.
A precious sword, crystal clear like jade, appeared in Snow Empress's slender jade hand. Snow Empress pressed forward, reaching Xuan Zi's side in a few steps. She thrust out a sword, and Xuan Zi immediately retreated repeatedly, not daring to meet it head-on. He felt that if he were struck by Snow Empress's sword, his half-year of recovery would be in vain.
He could only defend, completely unable to counterattack, or rather, he couldn't counterattack at all, because this spar was meant for him to endure Snow Empress's output, so that all the elders would understand the feasibility of the Soul Spirit. Xuan Zi now regretted it greatly; he wished he had let that little Fatty, Qian Duoduo, come instead!
Now it seemed that this spar no longer needed to continue. Snow Empress had proven through practice the feasibility of the Soul Spirit System. Although Snow Empress was a special Soul Spirit, she also possessed the independent combat ability of ordinary Soul Spirits, and that was enough. The first thing the elders were concerned about was thus resolved.
Now, it was time to discuss the second matter of concern to the elders.
"Xue'er, come back!" Zhu Ziyang's face was a little pale as he waved and called Snow Empress back. It had to be said, Snow Empress was truly too fierce. She had only used two moves and almost drained Zhu Ziyang's spirit power. It seemed he needed to be more careful in the future.
"Mm!" Snow Empress, upon hearing this, obediently agreed, then her figure rapidly shrunk and she floated back onto Zhu Ziyang's shoulder.
"Let's go back to the Sea God Pavilion!" Mu En grabbed Zhu Ziyang's hand, transmitting spirit power to him for recovery, while saying to the elders.
The group returned to the Sea God Pavilion in a flash. The elders were all excited and began discussing their respective impressions.
