Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 17: The Fifth Ring, Departure and Bad Taste
What the Ice Emperor said was indeed confirmed. Within nearly two and a half months, all the tribes in the Far North received the orders from the Ice and Snow Emperors and took action almost simultaneously. Areas including the core circle, especially those near the ice sea, were turned upside down until no suspicious human figure was found.

During this period of time, Shu Yan's soul power level successfully reached level 53. The further he progressed, the more difficult it became for him to increase his soul power by each level. Shu Yan felt this deeply and gained a deeper understanding of the difficulty of cultivating extreme attributes.

I forgot to mention earlier that his fifth soul ring is also extremely special.

After absorbing the enormous energy from the snow lotus, the blood of the Ice and Snow Girl in his body began to boil. The aura emanating from it merged with the enormous essence of heaven and earth and the energy he absorbed, and finally turned into his fifth soul ring. This black ten thousand year soul ring is now about forty-five thousand years old.

In other words, this ten thousand year soul ring derived from his own bloodline aura and pure energy is actually equivalent to the soul ring produced by a forty-five thousand year old ice and snow girl. After all, the most fundamental things in them are all produced by oneself. If we conduct in-depth research based on this idea, there is actually nothing wrong with what Shu Yan said.

……

Early that morning, Shu Yan stood on the snow-capped mountain behind the palace and gazed into the distance. The cold wind blew towards him, blowing up the thin snow on the ground, making everything in the distance blurry and not very real.

A hint of melancholy flashed across Shu Yan's eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.

His concept of time has become somewhat vague, but roughly speaking, he has been in the Far North for more than eight months now. To be precise, he is now one year older and has officially turned thirteen.

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps behind him. Shu Yan turned around and found that the person coming was Xue Di who had changed into an ice-blue dress.

Xue Di had a calm expression as she walked to Shu Yan's side, looking in the direction Shu Yan was looking at, and then she said softly:
"Are you missing home?"

Shu Yan was slightly stunned, then chuckled and said:
"Almost. But for me, the word home might be a bit of a luxury."

Xue Di was slightly stunned, then smiled helplessly.

"Okay, now that the matter in the Far North has been dealt with, I'm sorry. I'm the Lord of the Far North, so I'm naturally responsible for the races that believe in me. What happened here is different from the past, and it took so long. I'm sorry to have wronged you."

Shu Yan shook his head and said softly:
"As long as the problem is solved, it doesn't matter if it lasts a little longer or a little longer. It's no big deal."

Xue Di nodded, and then as if she suddenly remembered something, she took out a leg bone that exuded a heavy earth-attributed aura from somewhere and placed it in front of Shu Yan.

"This soul bone was also obtained by Bing'er after she killed those soul masters. It happened to be from that Titled Douluo. After those humans died, Bing'er's clansmen collected it. But later, because she was too busy, she forgot to give it to you. So this time she entrusted me to bring this soul bone to you."

Shu Yan's face darkened, and then he reached out and took the soul bone from Xue Di's hand.

As soon as he obtained the soul bone, a heavy and majestic aura instantly appeared in Shu Yan's perception.

Shu Yan pondered for a moment before saying:

"This is an earth attribute soul bone, and it is at least 50,000 years old. The soul beast that produced this soul bone should be a top-grade earth attribute soul beast like a ground dragon, otherwise it would never have such an aura. I have to say that this is indeed a top-grade soul bone, and it is extremely suitable for ordinary pure power-type soul masters or defense-type soul masters."

"This group of soul masters who defected from the Sun-Moon Empire are not ordinary wealthy. Almost every one of them has a few soul bones of average quality. I think their status in the Sun-Moon Empire must have been very impressive before."

As Shu Yan spoke, he put the soul bone into his bag. Just kidding, only a fool would not want a top-quality soul bone given for free. Even if he couldn't use it for a long time, it was better to keep it with him than to keep it in Bingdi's hands. What if he wanted to form a team in the future? Maybe this soul bone would come in handy.
Xue Di just chuckled, but didn't say much about it. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said:

"Tomorrow, Bing'er will come to find us. You will lead the way then. Bing'er and I will also go to the human world..." Shu Yan suddenly raised his head when he heard this, but found that Xue Di was looking at him with a smile on her face. The wind and snow seemed to have bypassed Xue Di directly, and there was a circle of empty space around her. It was difficult for Shu Yan to describe this beautiful scenery in words.

Xue Di smiled and slowly stretched out her hand, but paused in the air for a moment before taking the next step. Seeing that Shu Yan still had no reaction, Xue Di laughed for a while and her figure slowly disappeared in the wind and snow, leaving Shu Yan, whose body was slightly stiff, standing there.

After a long time, Shu Yan sniffed the cold fragrance lingering on his cheek, touched his cheek unconsciously, and then laughed silently.

This behavior really doesn't seem like the aloof and noble Snow Queen who is like a female emperor...

……

Shu Yan left the Far North sooner than he expected. On the morning of the second day, when the sky was still dim, Shu Yan was shaken up by the dissatisfied Ice Emperor. Seeing Shu Yan's sleepy face, Ice Emperor sneered and said:

"Why, you have kidney deficiency? Why do you look like you're dying? This is not like you, Xiao Shuzi..."

Shu Yan said speechlessly:

"Where did you learn these words? Remember, don't say those two words to boys casually in the future, otherwise someone might get angry and fight you."

Bingdi raised his head with a proud look on his face, and then said:

"Your human writing is not difficult. I figured it out after pondering for a while. It just so happens that there are many objects left by humans who died in the Far North among my clan. I flipped through them in my spare time and naturally learned a lot of interesting things..."

Shu Yan rolled his eyes, always feeling that the things left behind by humans were not good things.

Looking at the gloomy sky outside, Shu Yan sat up from the ice bed, casually put on his outer robe, and followed Bingdi, who was obviously in a good mood, out of the side hall.

In the main hall, Snow Queen sat casually on the throne. Seeing the two figures, a smile appeared on her lips, and then she said:
"Are you all ready?"

Bingdi stepped forward and hugged one of Xuedi's thighs, saying with a smile:

"Don't worry, Xue'er. Everything has been arranged. During the time we are away, Xiaobai will lead the Ice Bear Clan and our Ice Scorpion Clan to continue patrolling the edge of the Far North. Once anything unusual is discovered, Xiaobai will notify us through the means you left behind. Besides, we still have the Titan Snow Demons, a group of powerful but brainless guys. Don't worry..."

Xue Di smiled and pinched Bing Di's face, then slowly stood up, took a step forward, and came behind Shu Yan.

Bingdi jumped up and down to catch up with Xuedi. Before they set off, she seemed to have remembered something fun, so she came up to Xuedi and said:
"Xue'er, you have been so tired these past few days, so don't take Shu boy with you. Leave this matter to me. Don't worry, I will take good care of him..."

Xue Di looked at Shu Yan behind her with interest, who didn't know what was going to happen, and then nodded slightly.

After getting the approval from Snow Queen, Bing Di smiled even more, but there was a hint of ill intention in his smile. Shu Yan didn't know why he felt a deep malice, and he always felt that something bad was about to happen...
