"Lei Lei, you're a genius!"
Xiao Lin gave a thumbs-up as he praised him.
Xiao Lin understood better than anyone just how powerful it would be to fuse this kind of strength. There was real hope that the Coiling Dragon Staff could become a super divine weapon.
This was absolutely something worth trying.
However, when it came to fusion—especially the fusion involving the Coiling Dragon Staff—Xiao Lin still needed to carry out precise calculations and make absolutely thorough preparations.
Moreover, Xiao Lin would also need to consider fusing his own two martial souls in the future.
After all, he had already prepared a martial soul awakening plan for himself.
As for fusing his own martial souls, Xiao Lin could honestly say that he had zero experience.
Especially since, according to his plan, the awakened martial soul would be the spine—or more precisely, the torso bone.
No matter how one looked at it, such a martial soul didn't really match the Coiling Dragon Staff at all.
The only thing his spine and the Coiling Dragon Staff had in common was a single word:
"Dragon."
Ideas like "opening the dragon spine" or "everyone becoming a dragon"…
He decided not to think about that for now and instead returned his focus to the creation of the fossil soul bone.
Although the two Dragon Kings had already taught Xiao Lin how to artificially create fossil soul bones, artificial was still inferior to dragon-made.
Thus, Xiao Lin asked the Ice Dragon King to find a way to create the fossil soul bone.
"Alright, watch carefully. However, the age of this soul bone won't be very high," the Ice Dragon King said, nodding as he agreed to help Xiao Lin condense the soul bone.
"Of course. Such a small piece of Netherfrost Stone doesn't contain much soul power anyway."
Xiao Lin fully understood this and immediately activated his Fiery Golden Eyes to observe.
As long as he could see how it was made, could he really not copy it later?
From Xiao Lin's perspective, the Netherfrost Stone in his hand began to emit an icy-blue glow of soul power.
Then he saw the Ice Dragon King's Extreme Ice compressing and rotating the soul power within the Netherfrost Stone.
So this was how a soul bone was made?
It looked simple, but in reality it required an extremely high level of control over soul power.
Moreover, the Ice Dragon King's Extreme Ice itself was high-level soul power—much like divine power boosting the age of a soul ring.
Only someone like the Ice Dragon King could help create a fossil soul bone.
Just by observing the Ice Dragon King's first step, Xiao Lin had already grasped many of the details.
Next, Xiao Lin stared unblinkingly at the Netherfrost Stone in his hand.
Vaguely, he seemed to notice the residual soul of the soul beast corpse within the stone letting out joyful cries.
Was this letting the remnant soul of the soul beast move on its own?
However, what Xiao Lin didn't know at this moment was that, due to the Ice Dragon King's assistance, frost had already appeared across the territory of the Royal Battle Team.
In an instant, Xiao Lin's body was covered in frost, on the verge of turning into an ice block.
"Hiss!"
"So cold!"
Suddenly, the Royal Battle Team members who were farther away from Xiao Lin felt a burst of icy wind.
The extreme cold made them shiver uncontrollably.
Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling had the weakest physiques. The two girls could no longer endure such extreme low temperatures and had already begun using soul power to resist.
They then looked toward Xiao Lin's direction with worried expressions.
Wasn't that Xiao Lin's (Brother Xiao Lin's) training area?
A thought stirred in their hearts, and they began to worry that something had gone wrong with Xiao Lin's cultivation.
The other Royal Battle Team members thought the same. Almost simultaneously, they stopped cultivating and prepared to look for Xiao Lin.
At the very least, they couldn't allow Xiao Lin to be in danger.
Braving the extreme cold of the Extreme Ice, the group headed together toward the small hill where Xiao Lin was located.
At this time, only Tang Ni and Xiao Wu remained unmoved.
That was because they understood that this was the normal state when Xiao Lin used Extreme Ice.
Previously, whether sparring or cultivating, Xiao Lin had subconsciously worried about his classmates around him, so he had never used his full extreme power.
As a result, the damage to the surrounding environment had been pitifully small.
But now, Xiao Lin was not paying attention to his surroundings at all.
All his focus was on the changes occurring in the fossil soul bone around him, while his soul power was being compressed and condensed under the Ice Dragon King's control.
Before long, Yu Tianheng and the others arrived at a spot less than twenty meters in front of Xiao Lin.
This distance was enough for them to clearly see what Xiao Lin was doing.
He was holding a stone and studying it?
Since he wasn't cultivating, nor had anything gone wrong in his cultivation, and there was no danger, everyone felt relieved.
"Xiao Lin's Extreme Ice feels even colder than the place in the Extreme North… colder, actually," Ye Lingling said. With her relatively weak constitution, she quickly felt the bone-piercing chill, and even her speech began to tremble.
"Brother Xiao Lin seems fine. Let's go back first," Ning Rongrong responded.
If they got any closer, Xiao Lin would be fine—but they might get frostbitten by the cold.
As Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong left, Yufeng and Osro also soon couldn't take it anymore.
This kind of Extreme Ice, if left uncontrolled, was an indiscriminate attack.
In a team battle, it might even knock down one's own teammates.
Before long, Yufeng and Osro left one after another.
Now only Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and the Stone brothers—four people in total—remained at the spot.
The four of them observed the changes in the Netherfrost Stone in Xiao Lin's hand and soon started chatting.
"Shi Mo, that Netherfrost Stone belongs to your family. Can you explain what Xiao Lin is doing?" Yu Tianheng asked with a curious expression.
Although he didn't have eyesight as sharp as Xiao Lin's, he could clearly see the increasing amount of Extreme Ice soul power gathering on the Netherfrost Stone.
And it was rotating too? Wasn't this one of Xiao Lin's Blazing Heart techniques?
"I don't know. This Netherfrost Stone is just an awakening stone our family uses to awaken martial souls. It only plays a supportive role. Supposedly, it helps ensure that our martial soul awakening won't be too poor," Shi Mo said, frowning as he pondered the stone's effects. Aside from awakening martial souls, it only helped with cultivation.
"But now it looks like Xiao Lin is awakening the Netherfrost Stone itself."
Shi Mo and Shi Mo were of one mind, and Shi Mo voiced the rest of what Shi Mo was thinking.
Awakening the Netherfrost Stone?
Can a stone even awaken?
Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan both shook their heads in disbelief.
Believing that would be less believable than thinking they were already Title Douluo.
At this moment, the refinement of the Netherfrost Stone fossil soul bone was about to reach its final stage, and Xiao Lin also noticed the shocked expressions on Yu Tianheng and the others, as well as their conversation.
Awakening the Netherfrost Stone—how was that possible?
It would be more plausible to have a soul beast awaken a soul master!
Xiao Lin thought silently, but at this moment, a new idea occurred to him.
For example, turning the Netherfrost Stone into a soul beast.
Although it sounded counterintuitive, Xiao Lin came from a world of information explosion in his previous life.
Was it really that unbelievable for a stone to gain intelligence?
The Great Sage was also a stone spirit—a stone monkey.
The Netherfrost Stone at least contained some residual soul fragments of soul beasts.
It was only missing the awakening of intelligence.
That said, turning the Netherfrost Stone into a soul beast had no real meaning for Xiao Lin, so it was just an idle thought.
However, if it were possible, perhaps in the future he could develop a cultivation method for a soul-spirit contract.
After a soul master dies, the soul spirit could leave the soul master's body and then find some kind of fossil body to undergo a second life.
That way, perhaps soul beasts wouldn't face extinction in the future.
But such things were far too troublesome. It would be simpler to move a continent from the seabed to give soul beasts a place to live—or, in the future, for him to move an entire planet to strengthen Douluo Planet.
