Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 36 Commission, Shu Yan's Teaching
After a pause, Han Lin seemed to realize that Shu Yan and the other two had misunderstood his meaning. He scratched his head in embarrassment and quickly continued:

"Your Highness Princess and Young Friend Shu, don't think too much. I didn't mean what you think. The reason is indeed my own fault."

"First of all, there is already a successful precedent for combining soul guides with soul bones. I am 100% sure that I can complete it, and it will not take more than half a month."

"But as for retaining the resentment of the soul beast in the soul bone, I'm afraid this is the first time in the world. Not to mention that there is no experience, the remaining resentment of the soul beast in the soul bone may explode at any time during the production process, which is very difficult to control, unless..."

Having said that, Han Lin seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Before Shu Yan could say anything, Xu Jiujiu immediately took over the conversation:

"Mr. Han, if you have any difficulties, you can raise them now. As long as they are within the capabilities of the empire, they will not be a problem."

After hearing this, Han Lin's eyes flashed with a deep gaze. He seemed to realize that among the three people in front of him, the person in charge did not seem to be Xu Jiujiu, but the low-key and introverted Shu Yan who was in control of the initiative behind the scenes. Thinking of Xu Jiujiu and Xingyun Douluo's attitude before, Han Lin understood in his heart, and then he said in a slightly deep voice:
"Actually, this is not difficult. I just need a soul master with strong mental and spiritual power to help me suppress the resentment of the soul beast in the soul guide when I make it."

"I am ashamed. My mental strength does not allow and cannot support me to be distracted when making the soul guide. Once I am distracted, I am afraid the result will be failure..."

After hearing this, Xu Jiujiu showed a hint of joy on his face, and then said:
"That's not difficult. Just let Grandma Manyi stay. It's very easy for her to suppress the remnant of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast with her soul power and mental strength. Not to mention that the starlight attribute in her martial soul can also dispel impurities in metals. She is simply the perfect candidate."

As soon as these words came out, Han Lin and Nebula Douluo's faces froze at the same time, and they both spoke almost instantly:

"Your Highness, you can't do that. I still have to protect your Highness. Let Juli handle this matter."

"Absolutely not, Princess. I have never gotten along with Xingyun. If you put me and her together, I'm afraid the entire Xingluo City will suffer..."

Xu Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and added:

"It was my negligence. That's all. I will ask my brother to let Giant Strength Douluo come to assist Elder Han. I also ask Elder Han to do his best and don't let us down."

Mr. Han stood up and bowed solemnly, saying:

"Please rest assured, Princess, and Mr. Shu, I will personally deliver the finished product within half a month. If you are late, I will commit suicide to apologize..."

Xu Jiujiu helplessly held his forehead, then said softly:
"It's not a big deal if it's overdue. Mr. Han, you don't have to be like this. Just... forget it. Just be happy."

Han Lin touched his head and said nothing more. Shu Yan also stood up slowly and said with a smile:
"Then we will wait for good news in the princess's mansion. Goodbye, Mr. Han."

Han Lin took the thousand-year-old skull from Shu Yan with trembling hands, then nodded heavily, stood up and personally escorted the three people out the door, then rushed back to his retreat, leaving Han Xin, who had just climbed back over the wall, completely confused...

……

On the way back, Shu Yan leaned against the window, waiting for the carriage to start moving, rubbed his brows, and then said:
"This Mr. Han is indeed an...interesting person."

After a long sigh, he said softly:
"This is the fact. Don't think about it anymore. There is no doubt about Mr. Han's loyalty to the empire. With him making the soul guide, you don't have to worry too much. Also, you can tell me now why you did this. You would waste such a precious soul bone to make a soul guide. If you don't give me a sufficient reason, you won't be able to sleep in the next year..." Xu Jiujiu's tone became more and more dangerous, and in the end, it even carried a hint of coldness.

The accompanying Nebula Douluo also cast his gaze over. She might not ask about the couple's previous private affairs, but she had a lot of opinions about this soul bone.

The skull and torso soul bones are not as common as the soul bones in other parts of the body. They have always been the most precious and rare among all soul bones. The head soul bone produced by the Ten Thousand Year Titan Snow Demon is extremely complete and is extremely suitable for Shu Yan's ice attribute. Shu Yan himself has even absorbed the soul ring of the Ten Thousand Year Titan Snow Demon. If he absorbs this soul bone, it will definitely be the most perfect result.

Shu Yan had long anticipated Xu Jiujiu and Nebula Douluo's dissatisfaction and confusion. The skull produced by the ten thousand year old Titan Snow Demon was already the best of the best, and was extremely suitable for him.

But to be honest, Shu Yan really looked down on this soul bone. Ever since he successfully won over the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor, his ambition has been constantly expanding. But at the same time, he is well aware of the drawbacks of this era. Although Tang San is in the God Realm, he is still monitoring the entire Douluo Continent.

Putting aside the threat from the God Realm, even in the current Douluo plane, there are still Tang Hao and A Yin. Both of them are at the god-level and have special identities, so they are a huge threat.

Looking further, the two mythical beasts from the divine realm, the Azure Dragon and the Titan Ape, are also a considerable threat...

Shu Yan looked at the azure sky in the distance, his heart sank, but he remained calm on the surface. He exhaled lightly and then said:
"The reason is very simple and worth it. Jiujiu, you have to understand one thing. Our goals have changed, and we naturally have to look further ahead."

"In the past, our goal was to become a Titled Douluo or a Super Douluo, or to try our best to become an Ultimate Douluo, but now it's different. Our goal is higher and longer-term. It's just a ten-thousand-year soul bone. Making it into a soul guide will play a much higher role than if I directly absorb it. I can even tell you very clearly that with our current strength, it is easy to get a soul bone with a high age. As long as my strength breaks through to the Soul Saint level, then we can go to the ocean to hunt hundred-thousand-year soul beasts or even fierce beasts to obtain more powerful soul bones. In comparison, this ten-thousand-year soul bone is really not good enough."

"It's almost done. Everything will be done soon. When Mr. Han finishes this soul guide, we will go to the Xingdou Great Forest. By then, everything will be clear..."

Xu Jiujiu was startled when she heard this. She was silent for a while, then she gently leaned on Shu Yan's shoulder, and after a long time she said:

"Although I don't know what you want to do, you have never been a person who likes to mess around. I'm sorry, I... I'm still a little uncomfortable. Give me some time, I will accept it."

The figure of Xingyun Douluo gradually disappeared. She sighed imperceptibly and suddenly felt like she was getting old. She should stop interfering in the affairs of the younger generation and just be her bodyguard and protect Xu Jiujiu and Shu Yan...

Shu Yan pinched her cheeks for a long time. The breeze blew over the two of them. Shu Yan smiled and his voice became gentler.

"During this period of time, we are still busy. You are a princess and you know more about the situation in the empire than I do. I need to capture another group of evil soul masters. The stronger the better. Everything in the future will require their help..."

Xu Jiujiu was slightly stunned, and a trace of deep doubt and puzzlement appeared in his pupils. It seemed that he did not expect that Shu Yan's arrangement this time would implicate the evil soul masters, a group of horrible guys who were worse than beasts.

But after thinking seriously for a moment, Xu Jiujiu nodded helplessly, and then said:
"After that, I will discuss it with my brother and ask him which evil soul masters are rampant in the empire. I will treat it as eliminating harm for the people. However, I need to discuss this matter with my brother. This is related to evil soul masters, and it is not a small matter that can be decided in a few words."

Shu Yan nodded without saying much...
