"Are you ready?" said Shui Wuya.

"Hurry up, I want to see what this spirit is all about," Dream Iceworm said excitedly. The soul technique that Shui Wuya had just taught her had opened her eyes.

There was no more delaying.

Shui Wuya sat cross-legged on the ground, with the Ice Emperor protecting his spiritual world with his own spiritual origin.

This was to prevent any accidents.

The Ice Silkworm's body was right in front of Shui Wuya. As the ceremony began, the Ice Silkworm's body suddenly emitted a dazzling white light.

The Ice Silkworm's body started to become ethereal, while the outer skin began to solidify.

The white light converged, forming a stream of light that appeared exceptionally beautiful against the backdrop of surrounding ice crystals.

Han Feng watched quietly, equally worried about Shui Wuya.

These streams of light, if they entered the body of any soul master below Rank 8, could potentially burst them.

But at the moment, these energies seemed very gentle, with no apparent threat.

Han Feng wouldn't underestimate the Ice Silkworm because of this. In his confrontations with her, he had already realized her strength.

She didn't have attacking soul skills, but her mental power was terrifying, and her skin was highly resistant to attacks.

All the damage Han Feng had inflicted came from soul tools. To kill a hundred thousand-year soul beast like the Ice Silkworm with his own strength, even if it was just this kind without the Ice Emperor's help, would be difficult.

With many thoughts in his mind, Han Feng waited anxiously.

After the light transformed by the Ice Silkworm entered Shui Wuya's body, a terrifying momentum emanated from him.

The Ice Silkworm's original body had now turned into a transparent, discarded shell.

So far, everything seemed stable; even if there were any unexpected occurrences, it would likely only affect the Ice Silkworm.

As the Ice Silkworm entered Shui Wuya's body, her spiritual origin entered Shui Wuya's spiritual world.

She was surprised to find, aside from the Ice Emperor, another hundred thousand-year soul beast resided here!

Shui Wuya was only at Level 50, with four soul rings, yet he already had two hundred thousand-year spirit souls! This was incredibly frightening.

Counting herself, Shui Wuya would have three hundred thousand-year soul rings, something nearly unheard of even among Titled Douluos.

Such a young man was truly unique in the human world.

Dream Iceworm suddenly felt somewhat satisfied, recalling a sentence the Ice Emperor had said at the beginning: the opportunity to become a god.

Perhaps such a human youth really had a chance to become a god.

With her thoughts shifting, Dream Iceworm quickly regained her focus and began to condense her spiritual origin, placing it within the spiritual space.

Then, she began to seal her massive mental power.

Although her combat strength was not strong, the energy she possessed at the time was still immense to Shui Wuya. Without sealing it, it would burst Shui Wuya.

So, after acquiring the soul technique, Dream Iceworm could already predict that Shui Wuya probably wouldn't kill her.

Killing her directly would deprive Shui Wuya of the hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

However, after learning about the Ice Emperor's message, she no longer cared about this.

How could she let that guy roam freely outside as a million-year soul beast?

It couldn't allow itself to be weaker than the Tianmeng Iceworm.

Power converged within Shui Wuya's body, then was sealed and reinforced layer by layer.

Crimson soul rings rose from beneath Shui Wuya's feet, with golden patterns appearing on them.

Shui Wuya's soul power also broke through the bottleneck, progressing steadily.

From level fifty-one to fifty-two...

Continuing until level fifty-three, almost nearing level fifty-four before stopping.

Most of Dream Iceworm's power, like the Octagon and the Ice Emperor, was sealed within her soul rings. As her strength increased, the power of her soul rings would gradually be unleashed.

"Remember to take my discarded shell with you. That thing is also valuable, containing the essence of my whole body. It might come in handy sometime," Dream Iceworm's voice appeared directly in Shui Wuya's mind.

With the ceremony over, she was now bound to Shui Wuya, their lives connected.

Following Dream Iceworm's instructions, Shui Wuya carefully stored the discarded shell and left the underground space with Han Feng.

Though the surrounding ten thousand year old ice marrow was valuable, Shui Wuya had to abandon it. The structure here was already very unstable; digging out the ten thousand year old ice marrow might bury them underground.

"Master, where are we going next?" Han Feng asked after leaving the cave.

"Of course, we're going to find the Tianmeng Iceworm. That's what you promised me," a small, cute ice silkworm appeared on Shui Wuya's head.

Shui Wuya reached out, pinching the ice silkworm on his head and taking it down.

"Hey, what are you doing! I'm a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. How can you treat me like this!" Tianmeng Iceworm struggled, but unfortunately, her origin was still relatively weak after just becoming a soul, only able to manifest a spirit of this size.

Ignoring Tianmeng Iceworm, Shui Wuya held her in his hand.

"Let's go back to Shrek Academy first. The secret realm is managed by Princess Ning, so there won't be any problems for the time being. She wants to see the Tianmeng Iceworm, so of course, I'll take her to see him," Shui Wuya said.

Han Feng was puzzled. "Master, where exactly is this Tianmeng Iceworm? Is it in Shrek Academy?"

From their conversation earlier, Han Feng understood that this Tianmeng Iceworm was a million-year soul beast.

It was the first time he had heard of a million-year soul beast on the Douluo Continent.

A hundred-thousand-year soul beast was already very powerful; a million-year soul beast, simply in terms of years, was ten times that of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.

Han Feng couldn't even imagine how strong such a soul beast would be.

"Yes, he's at Shrek Academy now, within someone's body," Shui Wuya casually explained.

"He also became a soul?" Dream Ice Silkworm began to stir again.

Originally, she thought becoming a soul was unique to her, but the Tianmeng Iceworm had become a soul before her.

Soon, she felt a bit disadvantaged as Shui Wuya's soul.

"Quiet down; we're setting off now."

The matter between Dream Ice Silkworm and Tianmeng Iceworm was definitely not as simple as she made it sound; there must be more complex secrets behind it.

The specifics would be revealed once they returned to Shrek Academy and met the Tianmeng Iceworm.
