Chapter 122 The Coming Battle and Hydral’s Insurance - IV

"Almost." Ansel nodded, "To ascend to the throne, one needs to thoroughly combine the soul and body that have undergone extraordinary tempering. In essence, this means allowing the soul to assist the body in breaking through the mundane limits, to accommodate a more powerful soul with a more powerful vessel, complementing each other." "So, while the body is important in this process, it is not the key. The key lies in the soul's shaping, ascension, and transformation of the inner self."

Seraphina touched her forehead, muttering thoughtfully, "No wonder I always feel like there's something strange living in my head, so that's how it is."

"Can you feel it very clearly?" "I didn't before, but it's becoming more and more obvious now." Seraphina candidly said, "It will excitedly bark like a dog, sometimes it will get angry or unhappy... but for some reason, it hasn't appeared much these past two days."

"..."

Ansel's eyes narrowed slightly for a moment, but Seraphina, who was still thinking about the strange thing in her head, naturally didn't notice.

"Ansel, Ansel, so what should I do! The... transformation of the soul and all." Seraphina excitedly tugged at Ansel's clothes, "I really want to become a third stage now!"

"Generally, this requires the expenditure of a vast amount of transcendental materials to construct a ceremony. When the ascendant feels the moment of ascension approaching, the ceremony aids in allowing the sublimating soul to break through the physical boundaries, reuniting the two."

With a natural expression, Hydral laughed and pinched Seraphina's cheek, "But you, Seraphina, are different. You possess an unparalleled physical talent and an inherently powerful soul. You are a unique spirit holder among millions. " Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"As long as you touch the extraordinary, the growth of the soul is natural, so you just need to wait for that moment, wait for that feeling to come."

"Ansel, Ansel, what has Marli been busy with lately?" Seraphina, who was talking about relaxing, couldn't help but ask about serious matters when she mentioned her sister. "Her... I've handed over all the affairs of the city to her, and let her not report anything to me. What she's busy with, only Marli herself knows."

"It sounds amazing..." Seraphina imagined her sister's majestic appearance in front of the nobles, and said with a face full of admiration, "I'm so envious of Marli, she's so smart!"

"...Seraphina." Ansel stroked the girl's head, "Don't say in front of Marli that you are very envious of her." "Eh? Why?" Seraphina asked stupidly, "But Marli is indeed smarter than me, and not only smarter than me, but also smarter than most people in the world." "You'll know in the future." "Knowing is knowing... why do you use this tone of talking to children." Seraphina bit Ansel's throat unhappily, blushed and hummed, "I, I am also an adult who can make you comfortable, Ansel!"

The battle-hardened Hydral couldn't help but laugh, "Then you are still far from being an adult, dear Seraphina." "Ansel!!"

In such a cheerful atmosphere, Seraphina and Ansel spent a fulfilling and happy day. The girl's confidence in her own abilities and talents was picked up by Ansel, and under Ansel's guidance, she steadily expanded her combat skills, becoming more accustomed to thinking calmly in battle, correctly confronting the enemy, rather than the crazy fighting based on beast-like intuition as before.

Seraphina firmly believed that she could easily achieve the throne, that she could respond to Hydral's expectations, and complete her transformation in this ascension, becoming a strong person whose fame could echo throughout the empire.

In this confidence, time passed day by day, and Seraphina's response to Ansel's test became more and more handy. In this more than a month, she perfectly passed Ansel's four tests. But Seraphina's confidence did not grow with her success, but became more and more withered, weak, and even a little... panicked.

Because at the juncture of the awakening of the Blazing Ice Viper—

The road to the throne has not been opened for her.
