Extreme North.
Unrestrained movement!
This was Su Ming's thought.
The environment of the Extreme North was undoubtedly extremely harsh. With the environmental boost, both the Snow Empress, leader of the Three Extreme North Heavenly Kings, and the second-ranked Ice Empress, could pose a threat to Du Busi.
But now, these two Heavenly Kings were gone.
With Du Busi leading, it was no exaggeration to say Su Ming could move unrestrained.
To be honest, they didn't hold much hope in their hearts when they came here to search.
From the Snow Empress's account, the time she saw the two Mirror Shadow Beasts was precisely around the ten-thousand-year-ago mark.
Over ten thousand years, times have changed. Who knew if the remaining Mirror Shadow Beast had been secretly hunted by someone.
But, contrary to their expectations, they found the Mirror Shadow Beast after only three days of searching.
At this moment, Su Ming understood.
This must be the God of Destruction taking action.
"Teacher!"
By the time Su Ming called out, Du Busi had already charged out.
"This God of Change, how many years has it been since he paid attention to the Douluo Continent? This Mirror Shadow Beast isn't secluded in the Icy Forest at all; it's wandered all the way to the Icy Sea."
The God of Destruction secretly docked a point from the God of Change's performance evaluation. So unprofessional.
He had been searching for the Mirror Shadow Beast ever since he returned.
But the Mirror Shadow Beast was clearly not in the location provided by the God of Change. He searched for a long time before finding the Mirror Shadow Beast on a small island in the Icy Sea.
He provided the Mirror Shadow Beast with an opportunity to return to the mainland.
Fortunately, Su Ming was self-reliant and actually found a reason to go to the Extreme North.
As for the Mirror Shadow Beast and Su Ming meeting so quickly, that wasn't the God of Destruction's arrangement; it could only be attributed to luck.
"Fourth Spirit Skill, Replicate!"
Su Ming regretted that the Mirror Shadow Beast didn't provide a Spirit Bone.
This was a fifty-thousand-year Mirror Shadow Beast!
With his Spirit Power Martial Spirit, he could effectively replicate others' Martial Spirits through his fourth Spirit Skill.
Oscar's Mirror Sausage was more like a Blood Sausage, hence it required blood as a medium.
Su Ming's Martial Spirit was Spirit Power, so the derived replication Spirit Skill naturally used Spirit Power as the medium. Spirit Power contained the characteristics of the Martial Spirit. By collecting sufficient Spirit Power, he could replicate the opponent's Martial Spirit.
This also allowed him to directly use the Spirit Power from his own past and future selves to replicate the Body Martial Spirit of Douluo 1 · Su Ming and the Elemental Control Martial Spirit of Douluo 3 · Su Ming.
If he could split his own Martial Spirit, retain a part as his own Martial Spirit, and use the remaining parts to replicate the two Martial Spirits of his past and future selves, then he would truly achieve the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion.
However, such internal splitting wouldn't actually bring much improvement.
If ten points of Spirit Power were split into six points each to form the other two Martial Spirits, and then they underwent Martial Soul Fusion, the resulting effect might surpass what ten points of Spirit Power could achieve, but it couldn't be improved too much. Because Su Ming's Martial Spirit is Spirit Power, fusing with the past and future Spirit Power means it's already integrated into the Martial Spirit. The utilization rate here is already quite high; there's no need to split off two more parts from the Spirit Power Martial Spirit to form additional Martial Spirits and then re-integrate them into the Spirit Power Martial Spirit.
To truly enhance the power of the Trinity, he needed to find sources outside the Spirit Power Martial Spirit, obtaining the Martial Spirits of the past and future without weakening the Spirit Power Martial Spirit. And Su Ming already had an idea.
"Elder Yi."
Hearing Su Ming's call, Electrolux knew he had work to do again.
"What is it?"
"Look at the Spirit Power I borrowed from the world. Isn't it very distinctive? It spontaneously replenished my physical body and spirit to a state of completeness."
Electrolux nodded.
"Indeed, your method of borrowing power is very sophisticated. I haven't fully figured it out yet, but that state of yours is truly very complete. Among essence, energy, and spirit, your Martial Spirit is Spirit Power, and the world spontaneously supplemented the physical and spiritual parts for you. It's simply a stroke of genius."
"So, I want to separate out the physical and spiritual parts that the world supplemented for me. Simply put, condense them into additional Martial Spirits. Elder Yi, do you have a method?"
Have a method?
Who do you look down upon?
"Creating a Martial Spirit out of thin air is beyond me, but if there is a template and materials, I can still manage it. You have the template, which is the Spirit Power you borrowed. As for the materials, you'll have to prepare them yourself."
"Can these Evil Martial Spirits be used?"
Su Ming pointed to the three light spheres in his Sea of Consciousness.
"They can, but are you sure you want to use them?" Electrolux raised an eyebrow and asked Su Ming in return: "I've also sensed the characteristics in the Spirit Power you borrowed. One is suitable for condensing a Body Martial Spirit, and one is oriented towards Elemental Control. These three Evil Martial Spirits can piece together a complete body for you, but a Lich is ultimately a Lich; there is still a certain difference from a true Body [Martial Spirit]."
"Let's use the Lich as the main body then."
What is a Lich?
It's the Martial Spirit of the so-called strongest Spirit King on the surface.
Although the Martial Spirit's flaws have been remedied, lacking the various methods of the Death God's Emissary, the Martial Spirit itself doesn't possess Electrolux's necromancy spells, but the Lich can provide the foundation for Electrolux's necromancy.
Therefore, this Lich Martial Spirit is still that Lich Martial Spirit, while simultaneously having its flaws remedied.
Since that's the case, this is a top-tier, among the top-tier, Martial Spirit.
The other two light spheres, the Blood Mosquito Martial Spirit, which almost simulates a Blood Martial Spirit, and the Skeleton Martial Spirit, which serves as the framework, are also high-quality.
As for the difference between a pieced-together Body Martial Spirit (Lich + Blood + Skeleton) and a pure Body Martial Spirit, Su Ming can accept that.
He can absolutely accept it.
The pieced-together Body Martial Spirit is a vessel, something he will use in the future to bear the descent of his Body [self] from the illusory history of the past.
Returning from death is considered Undead.
The past · Su Ming emerging from the illusory vaguely aligns with the undead system, doesn't it?
"What about the Elemental Control direction?" Electrolux asked.
Does he need to find more Evil Spirit Masters to strip a few element-type Martial Spirits?
Su Ming understood Electrolux's meaning and quickly waved his hand.
Too evil, he couldn't do that.
"Let's use Spirit Beasts. For example, this Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast Embryo I have. I think when I absorb her Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone, Elder Yi, you can help me strip out her life origin to lay the foundation for my Elemental Martial Spirit."
Electrolux's eyelids twitched.
Not long ago, when you were talking to her, you said you would let her go.
"She should be ice attribute, which doesn't match your Elemental Control."
"Don't worry, Elder Yi, it's a very good match. I don't want the ice element origin; I want the life origin." Su Ming grinned. "I have a vague guess about her origins. Ice Snow Maiden, formed from pure ice elements between heaven and earth. I want the characteristic of her transformation from an element into life. I only need a little bit of the ice element; for the remaining fire, water, wind, light, and dark, I'll find others separately."
"Not letting a single bit of value go to waste, eh."
Electrolux marveled.
"You are indeed suited for my legacy."
An innately wicked little necromancer.
During the period after the Grand Spirit Tournament ended, while Su Ming was Spirit Hunting, the future also underwent earth-shaking changes.
The Douluo 2 period is located at the present node; any changes will cause alterations in the future timeline.
As Su Ming's influence in the Douluo 2 period grew, the node of the Douluo 3 period finally completely detached from the downstream flow of the River of Time.
