33: Chapter 33 External Soul Bone, Ice and Fire Dragon Wings

As the ice and fire energy entered his body, Su Chen felt as if he had been thrown into a meat grinder.

It hurt.

A heart-wrenching pain.

Half of his body felt like it was being roasted over a fire, while the other half was cast into ten-thousand-year profound ice.

Ice and fire, two forces rampaged through his body; his meridians were like fragile glass, threatening to shatter inch by inch at any moment.

"I... I can't hold on..."

Su Chen's face twisted, and his consciousness gradually blurred amidst the waves of agony.

Just as he was about to give in.

Deep within his dantian, two specks of light suddenly flickered to life.

One was crimson, the other icy blue.

The red light was like a beating heart, enveloping a scorching heat.

The blue light was like a block of condensed frost, radiating coldness.

The two rays of light seemed completely unaffected by the violent Soul Power within him, drifting leisurely toward the shoulder area of his back.

...

An unknown amount of time passed.

When Su Chen regained consciousness, the first thing he felt was an unprecedented sense of power.

The severe pain in his body had vanished.

In its place was Soul Power surging like a great river—thick, solid, and refined.

He subconsciously moved his back.

*Shua—*

With a soft sound, a pair of massive wings unfurled from behind him.

The wingspan was nearly three meters.

The left wing was covered in translucent, icy blue scales that reflected a cold light, making the surrounding air feel as if it were about to freeze.

The right wing burned with crimson flame patterns, with scorching heat waves rolling off it, causing the space around it to distort slightly.

ice fire dragon wings.

A dual-attribute external Spirit Bone!

With a thought from Su Chen, two streams of information flooded into his mind.

[External Spirit Bone: ice fire dragon wings]

[Soul Skill 1: Ice Fire Dragon Breath.]

[The left wing exhales an Ultimate Cold current, while the right wing sprays violent flames. When used together, ice and fire merge, doubling the power.]

[Soul Skill 2: Dual Wing Cleave.]

[Ice and fire blades condense on the edges of the dragon wings, combining sharpness with elemental damage to cut through all things.]

But that wasn't all.

Under the nourishment of the Spirit Bone, Su Chen's ice and fire dual-attribute talents had also evolved.

His ice evolved into "Soul-Freezing Ice Qi."

Not only could it freeze the body, but it could also follow wounds to erode the soul and interfere with the opponent's Soul Power circulation.

His fire also upgraded to "Heart-Burning Flame."

While burning through physical defense, it could also scorch the opponent's inner heart, amplifying their fear.

A dual physical and mental strike.

Su Chen clenched his fists, feeling the explosive power within his body.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upward slightly.

"With this, I'm taking off."

Su Chen adjusted to the new power in his body and gave the massive ice fire dragon wings on his back a light flap.

*Swoosh—*

His entire being instantly transformed into a red and blue stream of light, soaring into the sky.

His speed was extreme, trailing long afterimages in the air.

"This feeling is awesome!"

After circling the sky a few times, Su Chen landed steadily. With a thought, the magnificent dragon wings turned into points of light and vanished, retracting into his body.

External Spirit Bones were truly convenient, easy to deploy and retract at will.

"The feeling of rising power is indeed great, but... sharing joy is better than enjoying it alone."

Su Chen rubbed his chin.

Now that he had taken off, he had to pull his companions up with him.

Over the next two days.

Su Chen became the busiest guy in the Sunset Forest.

Under the guidance of the immortal herbs, he entered a frantic "shopping" mode.

These immortal herbs, who had lived for countless years, were all shrewd characters; they knew exactly where all the good treasures were.

The first item he needed to find was for Ma Xiaotao.

"Sister Xiaotao has always been troubled by evil fire; I have to solve her problem first."

Following the guidance, Su Chen arrived at a valley where the Yang energy was most potent.

In the center of the valley, an immortal herb, crimson throughout and shaped like a phoenix's cockscomb, was absorbing solar essence and radiating scorching heat.

Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.

An immortal product of the ultimate Yang and fire attribute.

"This is the one."

Su Chen's eyes lit up.

This thing was practically tailor-made for Ma Xiaotao.

With it, the evil fire in her body could be completely regulated and purified, and she would never have to suffer the pain of Spirit backlash again.

He carefully packed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower into a jade box.

The next target: Eldest Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan.

Led by the immortal herbs, Su Chen arrived at a quiet lakeside shrouded in moonlight.

In the center of the lake, a flower as white as jade, radiating a soft, clear glow, bloomed quietly.

moon god flower.

This flower could clear the mind and sharpen the vision, significantly boosting spiritual cultivation.

Eldest Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan was already a Spirit Master with powerful spiritual power; with the help of this moon god flower, her strength would surely reach a new level.

Su Chen felt that the temperament of this flower was quite similar to the Eldest Senior Sister's.

Quiet and gentle.

Finally, there was something prepared for Huo Yuhao.

For his future "Cheating King" little brother, Su Chen naturally wouldn't be stingy.

What he was looking for was the water gazing dew.

By a peculiar cold pool, Su Chen found a plant that looked like a narcissus; on several leaves, a few drops of translucent dew were condensing.

It looked ordinary, but it contained extraordinary energy.

This thing was the ultimate evolutionary tonic for Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes Martial Soul.

"If Yuhao uses this, his Spirit Eyes will probably become a Thousand-Mile Eye Plus version."

Su Chen chuckled and properly stored the immortal herb.

After that, he continued to scavenge for treasures.

It wasn't until he had turned the Sunset Forest upside down and found nothing else that Su Chen stopped, still wanting more.

"It's time to go back to Shrek."

He was already somewhat impatient to see the surprised expressions on his companions' faces when they received these "deliveries."

Before leaving.

Su Chen returned to the core area of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Looking at the sea of immortal herbs before him, he took a deep breath, the previous playfulness gone from his face.

His expression was more solemn than ever before.

"Thank you, seniors, for your help."

"Not only did you allow me to condense a Spirit Bone and awaken the ice fire dragon wings, but you also guided me to find the immortal herbs suitable for my companions."

"I, Su Chen, will remember this kindness. Once I reach level sixty, I will definitely return to fulfill our agreement and will not fail your trust."

After speaking, he bowed solemnly.

Amidst the immortal herbs, the ancient Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product gently swayed its petals.

"We believe in you."

"The fact that you could condense a million-year Spirit Bone and even unexpectedly awaken the ice fire dragon wings shows that your talent and character far exceed ordinary people. In the future, you will surely become a true powerhouse."

"We will wait for you to return at level sixty."

The other surrounding immortal herbs also swayed one after another, as if nodding in agreement and expressing their recognition of Su Chen.

Su Chen straightened up and bowed deeply to the immortal herbs once more.

Then, with a thought.

*Swish—*

The massive ice fire dragon wings instantly unfurled behind him.

Half was an icy crystal blue, the other half a blazing crimson, shimmering with stunning brilliance in the sunlight.

With a light flap of his wings, Su Chen's body slowly rose into the air.

He transformed into a red and blue stream of light, speeding away toward Shrek Academy.
