Three hours later, Xu Tianyang changed into clean clothes.
With a slight sense of mental power, Xu Tianyang felt that Xu Nianshuang had not come out of retreat yet. He sat quietly by the window. At this time, the sky outside began to gradually darken. The setting sun on the seashore illuminated the sky red, as if the whole sky was burning.
Now his soul power has reached level 24, which is quite fast, but when you think about it, it doesn't seem that fast either.
The thousand-year-old second soul ring allowed him to break through to level 22 directly. The hundred-thousand-year-old whale glue, plus so many precious medicinal baths, allowed him to break through two levels in half a year, which was considered a normal speed.
He took out a piece of metal from the soul guide and began to try to engrave a third-level core magic array.
There is no shortcut to engraving the core magic circle, and one can only try again and again. However, Xu Tianyang, who possesses a spiritual attribute martial soul, has a huge innate advantage.
Such talent allowed him to complete all the recorded second-level soul guide arrays some time ago even though his training focus was not on soul guides. He has now begun to study third-level soul guide arrays.
The sun and the moon alternate, and in the blink of an eye, the sky outside has become completely dark. The night sea breeze blows along the window, bringing a light and refreshing feeling.
After collecting the materials that were damaged due to the failed carving, Xu Tianyang walked out of the room and saw a cold figure leaning against the fence in the aisle, overlooking the waves on the sea.
The sea breeze blew up the strands of blue hair in front of her forehead, and her delicate face was full of heroic spirit, which was very heroic.
"Your cultivation has broken through!" Xu Tianyang walked forward with a smile and sat on the fence next to her. They looked at the sea together, felt the sea breeze, and dispelled the depressed energy caused by the failure of engraving the third-level soul guide array.
"I just made a breakthrough, and finally I won't be too far behind you." Xu Nianshuang turned her head to look at Xu Tianyang's profile, her face full of seriousness and stubbornness.
With a slight nod, Xu Nianshuang had his own pride and did not need too much verbal comfort. A year ago, the soul power gap between them was one level, and now it has reached level four.
Although he has a two-level advantage brought by the breakthrough of the second soul ring, he still has a faster cultivation speed than the other party.
"Have you decided which soul beast you want for your second soul ring?" Xu Tianyang asked Xu Nianshuang.
The spirit rings of the two of them have reached the Soul Saint stage. Xu Yunxiao and Mu Mengyu have sent people to select the most suitable spirit beasts for them to choose from, and gradually sent people to search the entire continent for the locations of these spirit beasts.
Now, the locations of at least a dozen soul beasts required for the first four soul rings have been discovered, waiting for them to break through one by one and then choose to kill and absorb them.
"Hmm..." After pondering for a while, Xu Nianshuang's face showed a rare look of confusion.
"Don't want to follow the path of a control-type soul master?" Xu Tianyang turned his head to look at Xu Nianshuang, whose little face was wrinkled, and chuckled. They had been together for a year, so how could he not know the entanglement in the other's heart.
According to the development route planned by Mu Mengyu for Xu Nianshuang, he would develop into a control-type combat soul master. This route would strengthen the strong control ability of the martial soul, and then use the powerful firepower of the soul guide to kill the enemy.
However, Xu Nianshuang herself does not really want to be a control-type soul master. She prefers to be an attack-type soul master. From her usual sparring, it can be felt that she is an extremely aggressive soul master. She does not want to control the situation at all. She just wants to use a violent attack like a storm to defeat the enemy.
However, since this was the route planned for her by Mu Mengyu, she felt embarrassed to refuse, so she was always struggling with it.
"Shuang'er, if you can't face your true heart, even if you become the number one control-type soul master in the continent as your mother wishes, I'm afraid you will not be able to fight well." Xu Tianyang looked at Xu Nianshuang and said seriously.
"I want to become a strong attacking soul master." Xu Nianshuang felt the encouragement in Xu Tianyang's words, and her heart suddenly became firm, and she said in a serious tone.
"The North Sea, thousands of miles to the north, is covered by extreme ice all year round. It is almost a desolate place. However, this special environment has also given birth to various powerful ice-attributed soul beasts. "
"After exploration, these include the King Kong Ice Ape, Articuno, Polar Lion King, and even dragon species. They are definitely suitable for you. You can go there to hunt with your second soul ring. We will go together this time." Xu Tianyang looked at Xu Nianshuang and handed him a few pieces of paper, which recorded the various soul beasts contained in the North Sea.
"Okay!" Xu Nianshuang looked at the several powerful soul beasts above. They can definitely provide a powerful offensive soul skill and are more suitable for the strong attack system. Xu Tianyang knew her choice early on, so he specially turned out these suitable soul beasts, which made her feel touched.
I don't know when, the moon has risen above their heads, and the bright moonlight is shining down. Under the moonlight, the shadows on the ground have come together without me noticing when.
"Sister Yingying prepared the 100,000-year-old whale glue and whale soup for you. Remember to eat them later. Soul beast meat of this level is hard to come by. The whale glue has the effect of refining the body. After digesting it, your second soul ring can also be tested for a thousand years."
"Well, we'll eat later!"
"…"
"Rest early tonight and get enough rest. This place is not close to the North Sea."
"Well, sleep after eating!"
"…"
"It's late, it's time to rest!"
...
Seven days passed in a flash. On the sea, a giant steel ship was speeding northward. The oncoming waves did not cause any hindrance to it at all.
"Your Highness, we have arrived at the North Sea!"
Xu Tianyang and his group walked out of the cabin. In just a short while, the deck of the ship was covered with a thick layer of snow. Everyone looked forward and saw a vast expanse of white ahead. It was a complete world of ice and snow. The raging cold wind was like the howling of a wolf, announcing the danger of this world of ice and snow.
This is not an ocean at all, it is actually a huge ice continent, very similar to the North Pole and South Pole in the previous life.
"It's a really rough area."
The moment he opened his mouth, white mist came out from his mouth and nose, and immediately turned into broken ice chips that flew in the air.
Unlike Min Yingying, Meng Tao, Li Ran and others who were wearing thick clothes, Xu Tianyang and Xu Nianshuang were not wearing thick clothes. One of them had a solar pupil close to the extreme fire, and the other had an ice element martial soul close to the extreme ice. This little bit of cold had no effect on them at all.
"Your Highnesses, the boat can no longer go in. Next, we have to use the flying soul guide to move forward. Your Highnesses must stay close to us. In addition to the harsh climate here, the soul beasts here are also extremely powerful." Min Yingying looked at Xu Tianyang and Xu Nianshuang and reminded them with a serious face.
Xu Tianyang and Xu Nianshuang were not ignorant of the seriousness of the matter. They knew how dangerous this place was and nodded seriously.
"According to the information we have collected, there are many target soul beasts on the periphery. Which one do you like, Your Highness?" Taking out the map and looking at the areas marked in red on it, Meng Tao looked at Xu Nianshuang and Xu Tianyang and asked.
Xu Tianyang and the other person looked at each other and pointed to a certain place on the map.
"Let's take this one, the Black Ice Dragon!"
