Chapter 12

Soul Techniques sound very advanced, but in fact, they are quite easy to practice.

As long as you enter a specific area and use special soul power to cleanse yourself, you can successfully learn the corresponding Soul Technique.

In this world, there are a total of nine Soul Techniques available for Soul Warriors to learn.

For example, "Heart of the Starfield" can be learned by being near the Starfield Vortices that bloom in the sky on the Chinese continent.

The Earth-exclusive "Heart of the Ocean" requires you to be in coastal cities, or even to venture deep into the ocean to learn it.

Similarly, to learn the "Heart of the Snow Realm," you must travel north, closer to the "chicken's comb" on the Chinese map.

An hour later, Rong Taotao, who had been diligently absorbing ice and snow soul power, really succeeded in his practice!

Unlike the other two students, before Li Ziyi and Sun Xingyu confirmed whether they had learned the Heart of the Snow Realm, Rong Taotao's inner soul map already sent a message.

"Learned Soul Technique: Heart of the Snow Realm!"

Rong Taotao pursed his lips and quietly opened the inner soul map. For a moment, a virtual human silhouette appeared in his mind.

Against the backdrop of a deep starry sky, the virtual human silhouette clearly displayed six soul slots.

Below, a few lines of text were clearly visible.

Character: Rong Taotao.

Soul Beast: None.

1. Soul Power: Soul Soldier (Initial Stage) (Potential: 6 stars)

2. Soul Technique: Heart of the Snow Realm (1-star Initial Stage) (Potential: 6 stars)

3. Soul Skills: None.

4. Martial Arts:

1. Unarmed Combat, 2-star Advanced (Potential: 4 stars)

2. Fangtian Halberd Proficiency, 3-star (Potential: 3 stars).

5. Available Potential: 0.

...

"Hmm..." Rong Taotao nodded in satisfaction. The potential of the Soul Technique was also 6 stars!

It seems my talent is really high?

That means my Heart of the Snow Realm can at least be practiced from 1-star Initial Stage to 6-star Peak?

If I have a 6-star Heart of the Snow Realm, then I should be able to learn and use all the Snow Realm Soul Skills that human scholars have thoroughly researched, right?

Yes, the true ability that allows Soul Warriors to use Soul Skills is the Soul Technique.

If the total amount of soul power is the foundation of everything,

then the Soul Technique is the medium through which you use Soul Skills.

For example, a high-level Soul Warrior who has been practicing in the Starfield for a long time can easily use advanced Starfield Soul Skills, but without the support of the Heart of the Snow Realm, they can't even release the lowest-level Snow Realm Soul Skill.

Half an hour later...

"Ah~ I think I've absorbed it successfully!" Sun Xingyu exclaimed excitedly, immediately turning to look at Li Ziyi. Her beautiful eyes under the red cotton hat were full of surprise.

Li Ziyi's body rose and fell slightly as he ran at high speed through the snowy night, and he smiled and nodded at Sun Xingyu.

But Li Ziyi's smile quickly froze when he saw Sun Xingyu's pale lips.

At that moment, although Sun Xingyu was very excited, her face was ashen, and her lips were trembling, which made Li Ziyi's heart ache.

Rong Taotao glanced at Li Ziyi, knowing his character well.

At this moment, Li Ziyi didn't show any signs of distress, which made Rong Taotao realize that Li Ziyi must have already activated the Heart of the Snow Realm.

"Taotao?" A slightly concerned voice came from the front.

In the fierce cold wind, Rong Taotao didn't speak but gave his sister-in-law a thumbs up.

"Truly geniuses, well done!" Yang Chunxi said softly. In fact, she wasn't surprised that Rong Taotao and Li Ziyi had succeeded so quickly.

On the contrary, Sun Xingyu's ability to quickly sense the power of ice and snow made Yang Chunxi look at her with new respect.

Initial awakening with 6 soul slots, compared to initial awakening with 5 soul slots...

Although there is only one soul slot difference, the gap in talent is not just a little!

The three of them had successively activated the Heart of the Snow Realm, and no one had fallen behind, which meant that Sun Xingyu might be more adept at thinking or... she might be more willing to take risks.

Thinking of this, Yang Chunxi turned to look at Sun Xingyu. Sure enough, the Snow Night Shock under her had already released waves of soul power, protecting and shielding her from the cold.

Rong Taotao and Li Ziyi, on the other hand, were still being battered by the cold wind, their faces red.

The Snow Night Shocks, specially trained by the school, were considerate and meticulous, knowing who really needed to be "frozen through."

Yang Chunxi timely poured a bucket of cold water on the three young ones: "Soul Techniques are easy to start, but hard to advance. Any Soul Warrior can learn Soul Techniques.

But to make progress in Soul Techniques, you will need to spend a lot of time and effort."

Hearing this, Rong Taotao nodded silently.

He knew he was embarking on an extremely difficult path.

If you were a Starfield Soul Warrior, your cultivation life would be incredibly comfortable!

First, there are a large number of Starfield Vortices on the Chinese continent. As long as you get close to one, you can practice the Heart of the Starfield.

But Rong Taotao's Heart of the Snow Realm can only be practiced in the northernmost part of China.

The location is unique and singular.

Moreover, the environment of the Starfield is much better than that of the Snow Realm.

In the Starfield Vortices, it is a beautiful scene of "stars hanging over the vast plain, the moon surging in the great river."

Soul Warriors can even leave Earth and enter the vortices directly, practicing in the true Starfield.

What level of soul power concentration is that!?

How can Earth compare!?

Below the Starfield Vortices, there are human warriors guarding, and they have even advanced into the Starfield, setting up human survival bases on other planets.

But what about Snow Realm Warriors?

No one has ever claimed to have conquered the Snow Realm.

The extremely harsh conditions have made countless Soul Warriors hesitate.

This is why China has built three walls in the northernmost part of its territory.

This is also why the situation in the north is extremely severe, with large-scale battles frequently breaking out.

The most brutal battle of the Dragon River, which took place over a decade ago, is a typical example.

From the beginning, battles of all sizes have never stopped in the northern region.

Powerful Snow Realm Soul Warriors do have the ability to enter the Snow Realm Vortices, but having the ability to enter and setting up a base there are two different things.

You can conquer the land,

but no one can hold it.

The layers of fierce blizzards can reduce your visibility to less than 1 meter, and any building can be uprooted by a snow tornado, and people can easily be shredded by the wind and snow.

In the Snow Realm Vortices, the word "frozen through" is no longer an exaggeration but a real existence...

Snow Realm Soul Beasts can find a place to survive in the Snow Realm Vortices, but humans clearly do not have such qualifications.

Even if your soul beast is a Snow Realm Soul Beast, you are still fundamentally human.

Similarly, the natural environment in the Lava Vortices at the "chicken's tail" position on the Chinese map is extremely harsh.

No one can withstand the high temperature and heat there.

Fierce and easily angered volcanoes, surging hot lava, and scorching waves are the hallmarks of the Lava Realm.

Lava Soul Warriors, like Snow Realm Soul Warriors, have extremely harsh conditions for cultivation.

In contrast, the places where Starfield Soul Warriors and Ocean Soul Warriors practice are like heaven.

Under these conditions, the vast majority of Soul Warriors choose to follow the path of least resistance.

They choose to stand on the shoulders of giants, taking the path laid out for them by the country, becoming a Starfield Soul Warrior or an Ocean Soul Warrior.

There is a widely circulated saying:

Choosing the Starfield, choosing the Ocean, good, very good.

Chinese Soul Warriors should be like this.

But those who choose the Lava or the Snow Realm... may not be true heroes, but they are certainly people of faith!

This saying may or may not apply to Sun Xingyu and Li Ziyi.

But for Rong Taotao...

The cold wind was biting, and the hooves were clattering.

On the Snow Night Shock heading north, Rong Taotao leaned forward, covering his mouth and nose with one hand, and diligently absorbing the ice and snow soul power, which was penetrating his body.

She,

is his faith.

For the person who gave him life but never appeared in his life, Rong Taotao had only one thought: If you don't come to see me, I will go to see you!

From a young age, everyone said he was Xu Fenghua's son.

Rong Taotao just wanted to know when she would be willing to be his mother.
