Douluo’s Fate Blessed Melee Archer

Chapter 122: The Ice Phoenix Reborn, An Unexpected Outcome

Inside the cultivation chamber, Han Li watched as Shui Bing'er sat down.

"Break it into pieces and chew thoroughly before swallowing. This will help the medicinal properties take effect more efficiently. Don't worry the energy is gentle and won't burden your body. As for the ice element energy, leave that to me."

He gave his final instructions, signaling that she could begin.

It was just the two of them in the chamber. Qingluan and Guang Ling remained outside in the courtyard, mainly because Shui Bing'er's martial soul was inherently unstable. Since they couldn't manipulate elemental energy, their presence might interfere with the evolution process.

Without responding, Shui Bing'er followed Han Li's instructions. She opened the box and carefully placed the Nine Petal Purple Ganoderma into her mouth, slowly consuming it.

Only after finishing did she enter a meditative state.

The moment her soul power began circulating, her martial soul manifested above her head.

Unlike before, the Ice Phoenix looked more solid, as if it was preparing to take flight.

After circling around her head a few times, the Ice Phoenix suddenly condensed into a massive ice blue egg, floating silently above her.

During this process, Han Li remained vigilant, continuously adjusting the ice element energy in the chamber, ensuring everything progressed smoothly.

An hour passed.

Then two.

Time continued to flow.

After about two and a half hours, Han Li sensed that Shui Bing'er had fully absorbed the medicinal effects, and at the same time, the ice blue egg above her head began to stir.

A faint "crack" echoed as a radiant glow seeped through the forming fractures.

As it "hatched," the entity inside began actively absorbing ice energy to strengthen itself.

A vortex of icy mist formed within the chamber, with the mimicry environment's ice element continuously being drawn in.

At first, Han Li cooperated by channeling more ice element energy toward her.

But when one of his ice elemental mineral stones cracked apart, he realized something was wrong.

"This Ice Phoenix's evolution is a bottomless pit," Han Li thought.

He couldn't just stand by and watch as the entire mimicry environment was drained dry.

The materials weren't necessarily expensive, but Guang Ling had personally dismantled his own setup to create this one it held sentimental value.

Seeing that the chamber's ice energy was nearly depleted, Han Li didn't hesitate. He converted his own soul power into ice element energy and channeled it toward Shui Bing'er.

He did have another option the Extreme Frost Spring Water from Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, stored in his jade bottles.

But remembering how it had once invaded his body, he decided against using it.

Instead, by filtering the energy through his own soul power, he ensured absolute safety.

With this extra supply, the egg's hatching process accelerated. The cracking sounds intensified.

Finally, when Han Li had used up nearly half his soul power, the entire shell was covered in dense fractures, and it stopped absorbing external ice energy.

A clear and resounding phoenix cry pierced the air.

Han Li winced his ears were not having a good time in this enclosed space.

Looking up at the now hatched martial soul, his first impression was sheer grandeur and nobility.

Compared to before, Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix had undergone a dramatic transformation.

Previously, it had merely resembled a phoenix, shrouded in misty cold air, lacking sharp detail.

Now, though still an energy projection, its form was crystal clear. Every part of its body was visible, with flawless detailing.

Its entire body gleamed with translucent blue, as if carved from a perfect ice crystal. Snowflakes continuously formed and disappeared around it, giving it an ethereal, dreamlike quality.

To Han Li's surprise, the phoenix's tail feathers and crest had turned milky white, the exact color of his own martial soul.

Moreover, these white feathers subtly interacted with the Ice Phoenix's natural aura, amplifying its icy energy.

"If this continues… will Shui Bing'er's martial soul end up like my master's?"

Han Li speculated.

Just as he was contemplating this possibility, an unexpected scene unfolded.

The Ice Phoenix suddenly broke away from Shui Bing'er and flew toward Han Li.

Shrinking its form slightly, it began circling him in the air.

Shui Bing'er slowly opened her eyes.

She stared, somewhat dazed, as her martial soul actively displayed affection toward Han Li.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

She could feel it her martial soul had become much stronger.

More importantly, it had not lost control.

All it would take was a single thought for the phoenix to return to her, yet she hesitated, choosing instead to watch in silence.

Han Li, on the other hand, was completely baffled.

"Her martial soul… is flying around me?"

Even more puzzling, his own martial soul felt an inexplicable resonance.

"Could this be because she absorbed my converted soul power during her evolution?"

He wasn't sure.

"Uh… Bing'er, maybe… you should recall your martial soul?"

He finally spoke.

"Alright."

Shui Bing'er gave him a thoughtful glance before summoning the Ice Phoenix back.

"Alright, let's go outside for now. We can talk later your martial soul's evolution caused quite a commotion, and they're all waiting for us outside."

Han Li sensed the presence of several people outside the chamber and chuckled.

"Okay."

Shui Bing'er obediently nodded.

Here wasn't the best place for explanations.

Han Li opened the chamber door, immediately spotting the waiting group.

With a smile, he stepped aside.

"Everyone, let's welcome today's star."

Shui Bing'er stepped forward, her presence now completely transformed.

"Wow, Bing'er, your hair is lighter now! It looks so pretty!"

Dugu Yan was the first to notice the change.

Sure enough, men and women focused on different things.

"Hmm, Yan jie is right! Your hair even has this soft, white glow. It makes your skin look even fairer."

Xiu'er nodded in agreement, sounding slightly envious.

"Really?"

Shui Bing'er hadn't noticed the subtle changes in her own appearance.

She grabbed a strand of her hair and examined it before breaking into a happy smile.

Meanwhile, Han Li, Guang Ling, and Qingluan exchanged glances.

Seeing the three girls excitedly discussing the cosmetic changes in Shui Bing'er's martial soul evolution, the men suddenly felt… completely sidelined.
