Zhou Sichen had no idea what had just happened. All he knew was that his body felt incredibly comfortable—like he had been reborn.
Inside his spiritual sea, ten golden spheres, as brilliant as miniature suns, hovered in the air, causing his spiritual sea to expand significantly.
Zhou Sichen imrsed himself in his spiritual sea, watching as the Skydream Iceworm gleefully swam between the glowing spheres.
The Skydream Iceworm's smug voice echoed in his mind:
"These are the essence of my million-year cultivation—purest origin power and spiritual energy! Your physical body is strong, but it still can't handle energy of this magnitude. So, I've sealed it within your spiritual sea for you to use whenever you want!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Sichen's face lit up with visible joy. This was yet another incredible benefit bestowed upon him by the Skydream Iceworm.
With energy equivalent to a million-year-old soul beast at his disposal, the growth of his martial souls would be terrifyingly accelerated in the future.
But that wasn't all. The Skydream Iceworm continued:
"I can't give you a soul bone, but I can condense the foundation of an Ice Attribute Martial Soul for you! What do you think? Pretty amazing, right?"
"That ans you'll have a third martial soul, making you one of the only people in history to possess three martial souls—just like !"
Hearing this, Zhou Sichen's initial excitent faded into deep thought.
Noticing his reaction, the Skydream Iceworm frowned.
"What? Is even three martial souls not tempting enough for you?"
Zhou Sichen shook his head.
"I assu you already understand just how powerful my two martial souls are, don't you?"
The Skydream Iceworm nodded.
"Your talent is indeed extraordinary, even I have to admit that. But that doesn't an you can't have three martial souls!"
Zhou Sichen didn't bother with pleasantries and spoke bluntly:
"My two martial souls are already powerful enough, and the true potential of my first martial soul goes far beyond what you currently understand. A third martial soul is tempting, but... I have a better idea."
The Skydream Iceworm was baffled.
What could be better than making history? He was curious to hear Zhou Sichen's reasoning.
"Go on."
Zhou Sichen explained:
"Cultivating my two current martial souls is already enough. My first soul ring ca from the Ice Jade Scorpion—so instead of forming a new martial soul, why not infuse that energy into it?"
The mont Zhou Sichen finished speaking, the Skydream Iceworm's eyes flashed with understanding.
"Hmm... That's not impossible, but you'll lose the chance to have a third martial soul."
Seeing the Skydream Iceworm hesitate, Zhou Sichen shared his mories of using his first martial soul.
After seeing the mories, the Skydream Iceworm stared at him in stunned silence.
"No way... Your Book of Contracts Martial Soul can do this?!"
Zhou Sichen smirked.
"Now you see why I don't need to hesitate, right?"
The Skydream Iceworm nodded.
"If that's the case, then directly enhancing your Ice Jade Scorpion with Ultimate Ice and purifying its bloodline is actually a brilliant decision."
Without further delay, the Skydream Iceworm activated its origin power and began channeling it into Zhou Sichen's first soul ring.
The Book of Contracts Martial Soul differed slightly from standard soul rings. Contracted soul beasts didn't die when they beca a soul ring—instead, they beca independent entities linked to Zhou Sichen.
As the Ultimate Ice aura fused into his first soul ring, the Ice Jade Scorpion beneath Zhou Sichen began chirping excitedly.
Unlike traditional spirit souls, contracted soul beasts remained alive but were completely dependent on Zhou Sichen.
Through spiritual communication, Zhou Sichen inford the Ice Jade Scorpion that this was a rare opportunity—an inheritance from the ancestor of all Ice Attribute Soul Beasts—one that would allow it to break through into Ultimate Ice and elevate its talent and bloodline!
The Ice Jade Scorpion chirped excitedly:
"Boss! Boss! Are you serious?!"
Zhou Sichen chuckled.
"Of course. Consider this a gift from your clan's forefather. If fate allows, I'll introduce you to him one day."
"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!!"
The Ice Jade Scorpion was overwheld with joy, eagerly absorbing the inheritance from its ancestor and master.
Its body underwent visible changes, its power increasing at an astonishing rate.
Ultimate Ice was a force beyond imagination. Whether for soul beasts or soul masters, mastering an Extre Elent ant an exponential leap in strength.
Ti passed, and the Ice Jade Scorpion's body beca deeper in hue, more vibrant, more radiant. The chilling aura it emitted had intensified several tis over.
It had successfully mastered Ultimate Ice.
"Chirp! Chirp!!"
Zhou Sichen gently stroked its back.
"No need to thank . We are one entity now. The stronger you beco, the more powerful I will be."
"Chirp."
"Let's go, Ah Da. Enrollnt at Shrek Academy has already begun. My sister has been waiting for for three years. It's ti to see her."
Following Zhou Sichen's command, the Ice Jade Scorpion began heading toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest, while Zhou Sichen re-entered his spiritual sea.
The Skydream Iceworm was grinning proudly.
"Well? Aren't I amazing? I just helped a re thousand-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion obtain Ultimate Ice. That's historic!"
"But seriously... I never expected your Book of Contracts Martial Soul to be this mysterious. Your contracted soul beasts grow stronger as you grow stronger! That Ice Jade Scorpion was only seven hundred years old when you first contracted it—now, it's nearly reaching the ten-thousand-year level!"
Zhou Sichen simply smiled.
Even he was shocked by how powerful the Book of Contracts truly was.
Unlike normal soul rings, his contracted soul beasts never died. Instead, they coexisted with him—linked through his martial soul.
They could absorb natural energy to heal and grow stronger on their own. Though they still followed the usual soul beast cultivation speeds, their growth was directly tied to Zhou Sichen's power.
But the true key was this:
Contracted soul beasts did not cultivate to improve their own strength—their growth was synchronized with Zhou Sichen's progress.
This was why his Ice Jade Scorpion had reached the thousand-year level.
Originally, his first soul ring had been just under eight hundred years old. But as Zhou Sichen's strength improved, the Ice Jade Scorpion grew alongside him, causing the soul ring's color to shift from yellow to purple.
In other words, the Book of Contracts' soul ring color represented the power of his contracted soul beasts—which also reflected his own strength.
And the more soul beasts he contracted, the faster his cultivation speed would beco—his contracted soul beasts would also grow alongside him.
Of course, soul beasts still cultivated at a slow rate, so their direct increase in power wasn't extre.
But the important part was that this canceled out the usual bottleneck that extre martial souls faced after Rank 30.
At this rate, once Zhou Sichen reached Rank 90, he alone would be able to match the power of nine Title Douluos.
Because his contracted soul beasts grew with him, completely bypassing their original cultivation limitations—allowing them to gain power at the sa terrifying rate as Zhou Sichen himself.
