Chapter 16: Strength Exceeds Six Thousand Kilograms

Even so, Ye Wen didn't just immerse himself in hard work. He first left the northernmost ice field, found a nearby city, and wrote a letter to a caravan specializing in message delivery. He assured his grandfather and Ah Yin, who were safe in the Sacred Soul Village, that he was well.

He also mentioned that he might stay in the northernmost ice field for a long time, so they didn't need to worry. Finally, Ye Wen entered the cultivation state again. Within a month, his soul power surpassed level 30.

At the same time, he didn't slack off in physical training. Several large iron plates weighing hundreds of kilograms were custom-made locally and added to the barbell.

Before obtaining the second soul ring, Ye Wen clearly felt that the increase in physical strength seemed to have reached a certain limit. When stuck at around 1,300 kilograms, it was difficult to continue growing, as if there were shackles. After obtaining the second soul ring, the feeling of shackles disappeared. Within a month, Ye Wen's physical strength reached three thousand kilograms, which was simply insane.

However, Ye Wen didn't stop because of this, as the feeling of shackles did not reappear after the second ring. Ye Wen felt that this was some kind of special physical restriction.

Before reaching a certain stage of cultivation, the body has a certain upper limit, but once that limit is exceeded, the upper limit will increase, like the limit in a certain comic about a bald caped man. As the cultivation level increases, the restriction also increases.

And this restriction also varies depending on personal qualities.

Just as Ye Wen could reach 600 kilograms on the first ring, but his dormitory mate could only reach 400 kilograms with difficulty, which was extremely close to the so-called limit of the first soul ring.

Therefore, if we follow this theory, it's fortunate that Yu Xiaogang's disciple is that bastard Buddha Tang, otherwise, an ordinary civilian soul master who absorbed the mandala snake soul ring would definitely explode.

In the following six months, Ye Wen repeatedly cultivated his soul and body, learning instinctive soul cultivation in an extremely cold environment. It's the type of automatic inner strength cultivation described by Mr. Jin Yong in his previous life.

Even if you don't actively cultivate your soul power, the soul power in your body will flow automatically, stimulating the transformation and cultivation of your martial soul. The only disadvantage is that this kind of practice cannot achieve the efficiency of concentrated effort, but even so, Ye Wen is already very satisfied.

Based on this principle, Ye Wen also planned to return and manually create such an environment for Ah Yin to practice.

After all, making ice with saltpeter was a very simple matter for him, a future graduate student. And Ah Yin could also enter the maturity stage faster because of this, without having to worry all day.

In the past six months, Ye Wen finally felt the bottleneck of physical improvement again. Now his strength had reached six thousand kilograms, and a punch could directly topple mountains and debris.

"It's time." After the last day of training, Ye Wen exhaled with serious eyes.

For the next soul-hunting operation, even though Ye Wen had the power to assassinate the Soul King, he was still alone and weak.

Fortunately, the camouflage provided by the second soul skill allowed him to protect himself, as long as he didn't venture too deep into the area where ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts resided. But even so, Ye Wen had to be prepared for the worst.

Ready to depart, Ye Wen once again entered the Arctic ice field after half a year.

But Ye Wen still didn't notice the figure observing him from a distance.

Looking at that tenacious figure, the Snow Emperor remained silent.

As the only ice and snow girl born from heaven and earth, she is the emperor reigning at the top of all soul beasts in the northernmost region.

She should be humanity's mortal enemy, but for some unknown reason, she felt a pulse in her heart more than half a year ago, which led her to come to the northernmost region on a whim. Seeing this human, she unconsciously felt a desire to protect him.

She wasn't even a little displeased when he successfully hunted a thousand-year-old ice silk worm, but normally, if a soul master hunted a soul beast in front of her, she would kill the human without hesitation.

But regarding this human, she unconsciously couldn't act. Instead, she felt happy that Ye Wen obtained the soul ring, which left her very confused. In her tens of thousands of years of empty and tedious life, it was the first time this kind of emotion had arisen.

"Why exactly? Why do I subconsciously want to protect him?"

At this time, Ye Wen also began to gradually penetrate the northernmost region, already more than ten kilometers away.

Because of the weakness of ice silk worms, even if they have five or six thousand years of cultivation, they still maintain their original survival mode. They won't choose to move unless they run out of food in the cave.

Therefore, it's always a good idea to search for ice silk worms in the old-fashioned way.

But this time, Ye Wen's luck didn't seem as good as expected. After searching for more than half a month, he still couldn't find the ice silk worm he longed for. Ye Wen was truly distressed.

"Oh, it would be great if I were a spirit beast. I could possess a spirit to enhance my sense of smell. It should be much easier to find ice silk worms," Ye Wen complained.

Suddenly, a cold and elegant voice came. "Do you want an ice silk worm with 5,000 years of cultivation? I know where it is. Do you want me to take you there?"

Soul masters who hunt beasts here usually come in teams. There are almost no soul masters in the same situation as me.

As for this sudden sound, Ye Wen had never noticed any movement before, which was enough to show that the master who made the sound had a cultivation level far beyond his.

Turning slowly, Ye Wen swallowed dryly as he looked at the cold and noble figure in white clothes in front of him. In this environment, even a titled Douluo must wear thick cotton clothes, otherwise, it will consume too much energy, but the woman in front of him is so scantily clad. At this time when Bibi Dong, the female soul master, had not yet grown up, such a strong person could only mean one thing. She is definitely not a human. Well, the answer is already obvious.

The fiercest beast in the northernmost region—the ice and snow girl.

Now with a cultivation level of over 600,000 years, she is powerful enough to rival a level 99 Extreme Douluo.

At this moment, Ye Wen had an awkward smile on his face. Even facing such a powerful person, he didn't know what to say.

There was a hint of amusement on the Snow Emperor's cold face.

"You seem to know who I am, but I remember that I should have killed all the strong humans I encountered. Can you tell me how you know me?"

With just one expression, Ye Wen had already been perceived by the Snow Emperor.

But because of this, Ye Wen knew that lying was pointless. With such a strong perception, unless he could perfectly control every heartbeat, his lies would be full of loopholes.
