Potential Problems

Chapter 29 Potential Problems

Time stands still in the mountains.

The time spent cultivating was inexplicably tedious. Shen Hanyu inexplicably entered a strange state where his perception and mental power were amplified infinitely and extended outward. Although his consciousness was extremely clear and he was active for a long time, he did not feel tired at all, but he fell into a deep sleep.

If someone were to examine Shen Hanyu's body at this moment, they would be astonished to find that Shen Hanyu's soul power was flowing through his limbs and bones in a strange way, and finally slowly merging into his dantian.

The consequence of this is that the energy requirement has increased significantly, and the energy in the surrounding world is constantly being absorbed by Shen Hanyu and the Frost Sky Spear beside him.

The scattered energy in the world could not satisfy Shen Hanyu's huge appetite at all, and within a few days it was completely unable to meet Shen Hanyu's needs.

Tianmeng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but she didn't dare to disturb Shen Hanyu easily, so she could only continuously supply Shen Hanyu with pure and enormous energy.

During this time, it carefully examined Shen Hanyu's body every other day, but it never found anything wrong. It only noticed that the other party's soul power and mental power were constantly increasing, and even vaguely reached a state of madness.

This was undoubtedly a strange opportunity. After Tianmeng gradually realized this, she simply used her mental power to completely hide the surrounding area, so as not to let any external factors disturb Shen Hanyu.

The Frostfire Spear constantly emitted a faint glow, with subtle fluctuations drifting through the space. The icy air flowed freely over the spear, and even the fiery red curve couldn't help but flash a faint red light from time to time. A wisp of blazing fire attribute energy constantly collided with the ice attribute, eventually merging into one, while the spear body and blade were constantly breaking and reshaping.

Tianmeng felt a sense of dread. Once a human Soul Master's Martial Soul is shattered, the Soul Master will suffer a great backlash, which may even endanger their life.

Shen Hanyu's martial soul was shattered and reshaped more than ten times during this period, and once it was even shattered into pieces before slowly being reshaped.

Shen Hanyu, the master, remained seated cross-legged on the stone slab as if he had passed away peacefully. A faint fluctuation of soul power emanated from his body, and his long purple-blue hair was covered with a faint frost, its color constantly changing until it turned dark blue.

Tianmeng used her spiritual power to examine the two colliding and merging energies on the Frostfire Spear, and finally came to a conclusion with trepidation:

Shen Hanyu and his Frostfire Spear are currently at a special stage!

To put it simply, it's the second awakening of a martial soul!

There are many precedents of secondary awakening in the world of Soul Masters. For example, if someone awakens the Exploding Bear Martial Soul, and that Soul Master absorbs a powerful Earth-attribute Soul Ring or various Earth-attribute herbs, it is possible for the Martial Soul to undergo a slight benign mutation, gaining Earth-attribute attributes and becoming the Earth Exploding Bear Martial Soul...

This is already the evolutionary process from an ordinary martial soul to a high-level beast martial soul or even a top-level beast martial soul. This situation is rare in the world of soul masters, but there are still many recorded precedents.

Shen Hanyu is currently in this situation. His Frost Heaven Spear is of the ice attribute, but for some reason, there is a fire attribute energy in his body that is no weaker than this ice attribute energy. Although the two energies have achieved a delicate balance, they are still like a time bomb in Shen Hanyu's body.

The ice-attribute martial soul could not withstand this violent fire-attribute energy. Shen Hanyu's current situation is that he is constantly using his own energy to suppress and even completely control this energy, which is also the reason why Shen Hanyu's martial soul has been constantly breaking and reshaping during this period.

In fact, Shen Hanyu discovered this problem a long time ago, and he also knew exactly when these two energies entered his body and parasitized his divine body and martial soul.

A wisp of energy from the two Dragon Kings of the Dragon Clan was enough to send Shen Hanyu tumbling down!

But once Shen Hanyu finds a suitable solution, it's hard to say whether this will be a setback or an opportunity...

…………

When Shen Hanyu woke up, his complexion was not very good. His soul power had reached the peak of level 59, and he was only one step away from breaking through to become a Soul Emperor.

The icy yet scorching sensation of the Frostfire Spear made Shen Hanyu's complexion worse.

"Tianmeng, how long has it been?"

Tianmeng was taken aback at first, then quickly replied:

"Hanyu, it's been over a month since you entered this state."

Shen Hanyu nodded, and after a long while, he said:

"I've encountered some problems with my body. This fire-attribute energy comes from a deity. I must have accidentally absorbed it while refining the immortal herb, and it's actually the deity of you soul beasts..."

"I have completely refined and mastered the ice attribute energy during this time, but this fire attribute energy seems to have a unique bond with this ice attribute energy. I cannot control or subdue it, so I have to find something to contain it..."

Tianmeng was silent for a moment before speaking:

"Hanyu, to be honest, after I sacrifice myself, I can provide you with a blank martial soul of either ice or spirit attribute. But as you know, fire attribute is incompatible with me, and I've never encountered this situation before..."

Shen Hanyu sheathed the Frost Sky Spear and slammed his fist into the rock wall beside him. The terrifying force instantly shattered the rock wall, revealing cracks.

After a long pause, Shen Hanyu let out a heavy sigh of relief, rubbed his aching temples, and said:

"Alright, the immediate priority is to raise my ice attribute to the ultimate ice level. This time, the ice attribute of the Frost Heaven Spear has taken another small step forward, but it is still stuck outside this barrier. I need to make plans for my sixth spirit ring as soon as possible. This time, the age of the spirit master I can accept is about 70,000 to 95,000 years. If it is 100,000 years, it may be a bit troublesome, but with your help, I am still confident."

Tianmeng nodded and said:

"It's incredibly difficult for ordinary attributes to reach their peak, but it's not a big problem for a freak like you, Hanyu."

"As for your sixth spirit ring, I know that there is a kind of spirit beast called the Fallen Siren in the deep sea abyss on the outskirts of the far north. They are a subordinate race of the siren and also have the attribute of extreme ice. In fact, they also have a mental attribute that is no less than that of ice. Most importantly, these spirit beasts do not live in groups. They are born corrupt and proud, and disdain to associate with other spirit beasts. They are not like ordinary mermaids and siren..."

"I can use my mental power to control the opponent. Han Yu, you can take the opportunity to kill them and obtain their spirit ring. In this world, apart from that big-eyed beast that can fight Di Tian to a standstill, no spirit beast can surpass me in mental power!"

Shen Hanyu nodded, patted Tianmeng's little head on his shoulder, and said:

"Thank you, Tianmeng. I won't let this little trouble stop me. Give me time, and I'll take you to pursue that elusive immortality and godhood."

Tianmeng nodded solemnly. In some ways, it and Shen Hanyu were already of one mind. It unconditionally trusted its chosen partner, even if the other wanted to defy the heavens...
