Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system

"Wang Ming, do you have a solution?" A worried voice snapped him out of his thoughts. It was Shi Yu, her expression full of concern.

"Yes, I do," Wang Ming said as he brought the vial of blood essence toward Bai Lingxi. To his surprise, the blood inside the vial began to tremble. Under everyone's wide-eyed gaze, it turned into a mist of blood and entered Bai Lingxi's skin.

"Wang Ming, what the hell just entered her body?" Luo Li asked, her voice filled with alarm.

Before Wang Ming could reply, their eyes widened as they saw ice rapidly spreading over Bai Lingxi's body. Under everyone's horrified gaze, she was soon encased in a cocoon of ice.

'System, is this alright?' Wang Ming asked in a panicked voice. He was about to rush forward to break the ice, but a system message stopped him in his tracks.

[System Message: Host does not need to worry. She is on the verge of awakening her physique, and this is a result of that process. The host should not attempt to touch the ice as it may cause a negative backlash to the person inside.]

Wang Ming sighed in relief after reading the message. He observed Bai Lingxi's expression within the ice and noticed that she appeared calm and unharmed.

"Shit, quickly break it!" Shi Yu shouted. The girls immediately drew their weapons to smash the ice, but Wang Ming hurriedly stopped them.

"Wait! Don't touch the ice!" Wang Ming broke into a cold sweat as he saw them ready to attack.

"Do you know what's happening? And why are you stopping us?" Shi Yu asked with a frown.

"Yes, I know. She is awakening her physique," Wang Ming replied, shocking and confusing the girls. Enjoy new chapters from empire

"She has a physique too?" Shi Yu said, wide-eyed. She had one herself but had never known Bai Lingxi did as well.

"Just watch," Wang Ming said. Though the girls were curious, they turned back to look at the ice. Moments later, they saw the ice turn pitch black.

"This is the first time I've seen black ice," Shang Rui said with interest.

"The ice is spreading. Step back a bit," Wang Ming warned. The ice began creeping across the floor, and soon, more than half the room was covered in a thin layer of black ice. The temperature in the room plummeted, making it uncomfortably cold.

Crack

After some time, the ice began to crack, and soon it burst into small fragments, causing the ice around Bai Lingxi to disappear entirely.

Wang Ming quickly used his Soul Eyes to check Bai Lingxi's status.

[ Name: Bai Lingxi ]

[ Age: 25 ]

[ Cultivation: 10th Stage of the Golden Core Realm ]

[ Occupation: Outer Court Disciple of the Yang-Yin Sect ]

[ Physique: Celestial Ice Body ]

[ Bloodline: Primordial Ice Phoenix ]

"10th Stage of the Golden Core Realm," Wang Ming mumbled in a daze. The girls nearby, overhearing him, widened their eyes in shock.

"What?!" Shang Rui exclaimed the loudest, immediately examining Bai Lingxi's aura, which was no longer suppressed.

"Heavens, it's true! She's at the 10th Stage of the Golden Core Realm!" Shang Rui said, her tone tinged with disbelief. She had never imagined encountering another anomaly like Wang Ming—an Outer Court Disciple whose cultivation was higher than even the Core Disciples. Not to mention, even the Peak Masters of the sect didn't possess such a high cultivation level.

"This..." Even Shi Yu was momentarily speechless.

"I've only heard that the Sect Master and Supreme Elders possess such high cultivation," Luo Li mumbled. "Aside from them, only leaders of other sects in the Black Bamboo Empire and members of the royal family could rival this."

[ Celestial Ice Body ]

[ Type: Physique ]

[ Rank: Divine ]

[ Description: A divine-ranked physique, the only one in existence capable of containing the Primordial Ice Phoenix Bloodline. It allows the possessor to freely wield the true power of the bloodline, including Primordial Ice creation and manipulation. The Primordial Ice is the coldest and strongest ice under the heavens, enabling its user to directly utilize it in conjunction with other ice-based techniques. ]

As Wang Ming was reading the description, Bai Lingxi, who had been unconscious, slowly began to open her eyes.

"Hiss... Damn, that Wang Ming has too much stamina," Bai Lingxi mumbled as she woke up. However, as she scanned her surroundings, her eyebrows furrowed.

She noticed Shang Rui, Shi Yu, and Luo Li staring at her with such intensity that it felt as if they could kill her with just their gaze. Their expressions made her feel uncomfortable, as though she were some kind of newly discovered species.

"Why the hell are you staring at me?" Bai Lingxi asked in an irritated voice, but her question was met with silence. The lack of response only deepened her frown.

"Wang Ming, what happened?" Bai Lingxi asked, looking at him questioningly. She could sense the strange atmosphere and felt something was off.

Wang Ming snapped out of his daze and let out a sigh before replying. "Check your cultivation," he said simply.

"My cultivation? What happ—" Bai Lingxi started, hurriedly checking her cultivation, fearing something bad had occurred. However, the moment she realized her current level, her words trailed off, her eyes widened like saucers, and her jaw nearly dropped to the ground.

"What the fuck?!" Bai Lingxi instinctively cursed in disbelief.

'Am I dreaming? No, this can't be… ouch! 'Bai Lingxi thought as she pinched herself, confirming that she was wide awake. The shocking leap in her cultivation was real. Slowly, she stiffly turned her head toward Wang Ming.

"What the hell happened while I was asleep?" Bai Lingxi demanded, her voice a mixture of confusion and urgency.

"Let me explain," Wang Ming offered, drawing the attention of everyone present. The other girls, just as curious, eagerly listened, hoping to learn the truth—especially about the mysterious red liquid Wang Ming had given Bai Lingxi.

A few minutes passed as Wang Ming explained the situation. However, he carefully omitted anything related to the System. By the end of his explanation, everyone could only stare at Bai Lingxi in disbelief.

"So… I have a Divine-rank physique and a bloodline?" Bai Lingxi asked again, struggling to process what she had just heard.

"If you're doubtful, you can check for yourself," Wang Ming replied. "I'm going to clean myself up."

Bai Lingxi nodded stiffly, still in shock.
