In the dean's office, with Yan Shaozhe acting as his protector, Su Qingfeng directly absorbed the Empty Clarity Celestial Feather Soul Bone.
The six-thousand-year-old Soul Bone contained an immense amount of energy for Su Qingfeng. This energy imprinted the wing bone onto Su Qingfeng's arm.
If one were to lift Su Qingfeng's clothes, they would see two faint, ethereal feather marks on his back.
The moment these two marks flashed, a pair of wings radiating a faint golden-white light extended, appearing on Su Qingfeng's back. The celestial feathers had special patterns, appearing ethereal and otherworldly, resonating with Su Qingfeng's temperament.
This pair of wings, even when worn with the Carefree Celestial Armor, wouldn't clash in color. Instead, they formed their own system, like a recluse from the world, an exiled celestial being.
Absorbing a sixty-thousand-year-old Soul Bone brought considerable pain to Su Qingfeng. It wasn't the swelling pain of soul power erupting like when absorbing a Soul Ring, but rather the pain of the bones being reassembled, carved, and fused.
The higher the age and quality of the Soul Bone, the greater this pain would be for the Soul Master.
Fortunately, Su Qingfeng's first attribute was Extreme Ice. Ice could freeze the body, numb the body's cells, and reduce pain, which made it easier for Su Qingfeng to absorb this Empty Clarity Celestial Feather external Soul Bone.
When the Empty Clarity Celestial Feather completely fused with Su Qingfeng's arm bone, the soul power within Su Qingfeng also broke through, reaching the peak of level nineteen. Ultimately, it shattered the bottleneck and reached level twenty.
"Empty Clarity Celestial Feather, Carefree Celestial Armor… cough cough, your senior brothers and sisters are really good to you, they're willing to give you all their treasures.
The champion of this year's freshman assessment competition, the best champion reward in three hundred years, was just a secret technique Soul Bone from a thousand-year-old soul beast. But the Empty Clarity Celestial Feather Soul Bone that Shaozhe gave you comes from the Empty Clarity Celestial Eagle King, one of the aerial overlords. Furthermore, because it is mysterious and powerful, sometimes it likes to help soul beasts in distress, so it is also known as the Celestial Eagle, the hidden hero among eagles."
"Back then, Shaozhe also spent a great deal of effort to hunt down this Empty Clarity Celestial Eagle King and absorbed it as his seventh Soul Ring. However, because your senior brother already possessed abilities like flight, the wing Soul Bone it dropped didn't improve him much, so he didn't choose to absorb it and instead kept it for you."
Mu En's aged voice sounded faintly.
Yan Shaozhe respectfully said, "Nothing escapes your notice, Teacher."
"Tell me, what abilities does this Celestial Feather grant you?"
Su Qingfeng opened his eyes, his gaze, like a vast starry river, with an ethereal eagle soaring within.
Flying, it grants me the ability to fly. With my current soul power, if I use it sparingly, I can fly for at least three hours.
"In addition, it also gives me a soul skill—Elemental Wind Vortex. It can condense a wind vortex around me. This vortex will, to a certain extent, draw targets in, and above the center of the vortex, it will condense a Polar Star. When it falls, it will cause area-of-effect ice element and physical damage."
What Su Qingfeng didn't say was that he had a feeling that the blade's attribute could be changed, not just limited to the Polar Star.
A Soul Bone's soul skill isn't fixed; it varies from person to person, based on their own martial soul. Ordinary Soul Masters, if they have ice-type attributes, can only condense ice stars.
But Su Qingfeng had a second option. If the Elemental Wind Vortex's vortex star could change its attribute release, then it would be his support god skill for elemental reaction damage!
It was clear that Mu En had come for this matter as well.
Mu En nodded, satisfied. His disciple, although he started relatively late, improved faster than anyone.
Back then, he saw the down-and-out Su Qingfeng and recognized him instantly. He was the future master of Shrek Academy, a peerless individual.
After the freshman competition, he was even more certain of this thought.
"I won't say any more praise; you don't need that."
"Now that you've reached level twenty, you won't need to participate in the class assignments. After all, no one else is worthy of being your teacher except for me. You should also go hunt for your second Soul Ring. There's nothing more important than this right now."
Mu En supported his waist and sat in his chair. Who would have thought that this frail old man harbored the most powerful force in Shrek Academy?
"Indeed, as the Saint Son of the Sea God Pavilion, you bear the heavy responsibility of Shrek Academy. Little Junior Brother's cultivation cannot be taken lightly. However, Little Junior Brother, have you decided on the attribute of your second Soul Ring? Or are you going to continue on the path of the specialized Extreme Ice element?"
Yan Shaozhe was also very interested in Su Qingfeng's future path.
The Polar Star, such a peculiar martial soul, had appeared on the continent for the first time. Its boundless possibilities also made them yearn for it, hoping to one day see the sight of all nine Polar Stars on Su Qingfeng being lit up.
"I think, Senior Brother, you should have already noticed what I want to choose for my second attribute."
Su Qingfeng put away the Empty Clarity Celestial Feather and said calmly.
Yan Shaozhe offered a cup of tea to Mu En, then turned back in surprise, "In the freshman competition, you specifically chose the fire-attributed Wu Feng's team, and you also created a new system of ice and fire element evaporation. Is your second element going to be fire?"
Su Qingfeng nodded, "Yes, attaching fire element to my second Polar Star is a good choice."
Hearing this, Mu En paused for two seconds in his tea-sipping action. His eyes, as deep as an ancient well, brightened slightly before he shook his head, thinking to himself, This child is truly bold.
"Qingfeng, have you thought this through? Although you created the miracle of the ice and fire reaction, defeating Soul Elder-ranked students, the ice and fire attributes are ultimately completely opposite. No one knows what will happen when these two elements coexist in one body."
"Before this, no one has ever attempted to have a Soul Master integrate both ice and fire. If an accident occurs, even myself and the teacher will find it difficult to ensure your absolute safety."
Yan Shaozhe reminded him. This concern was reasonable.
"Senior Brother is mistaken, isn't he?"
"What?"
"Senior Brother said that no one has ever tried to merge the power of ice and fire. However, the First Shrek Seven Devils, that guy Tang San, once used the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye to temper his body with the two extreme attributes of ice and fire, and he succeeded."
"Secondly, my Polar Stars are each independent. They can be regarded as nine separate martial souls. Their respective attributes survive and evolve on their respective Polar Stars and will not conflict with each other."
"Moreover, the elements of ice and fire are the most common and practical elements in nature. It's most appropriate to use them to lay the foundation for the first two Polar Stars."
Su Qingfeng said lightly, successfully convincing Yan Shaozhe and Mu En. The choice of the nine attributes of the Polar Stars was, in itself, an exploration.
Now, Su Qingfeng had his own ideas, and he was also innovative. This made Mu En and Yan Shaozhe sigh inwardly. Perhaps, the path he chose for himself was the most suitable for him!
He, a banished immortal, the son of the starry sky, was destined by heaven!
"Alright, in that case, the second Polar Star will absorb the fire attribute."
Mu En placed the teacup on the table and stood up.
Yan Shaozhe said, "Teacher, should we inform the others in the Sea God Pavilion about Qingfeng's choice for his second attribute? After all, as the Saint Son, every elder and member of the Sea God Pavilion should know his situation."
"Tell them what? Does my disciple need to listen to their opinions? Humph!"
Mu En rolled his old eyes at Yan Shaozhe.
