Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 38: The Three Wonders of the Snow Queen, Han Lin's Peak Work
Half a month passed in a flash.

During this half month, Shu Yan had nothing important to do. All he did all day was practice and learn how to control ice and push his own limits under the guidance of the Two Emperors of Ice and Snow.

The Snow Queen originally planned to teach Shu Yan the three unique skills of the Snow Queen, namely the so-called Emperor Sword: Unparalleled Ice, Emperor Palm: Great Cold without Snow, and the last one, Emperor Hantian: Snow Dance Shining in the Sun.

These three moves are Snow Empress's most powerful skills. Each of them is extremely powerful. They are also the strongest killer moves that Snow Empress has finally comprehended after so many years of gradual exploration and perfection. For ordinary people to fully understand them, the difficulty is no less than facing a Titled Douluo with the cultivation of a Soul King.

But Shu Yan is different. He and Snow Emperor have almost the same origin, and he comprehends the three killer moves much faster than others. In just half a month, Shu Yan has already touched the entry level. As his cultivation level increases, his comprehension of the three killer moves will gradually deepen. One day, he will thoroughly master the three unique skills of Snow Emperor, so Shu Yan is not in a hurry.

Xu Jiujiu is still very busy. As a princess of the empire, although she does not need to face the tedious and boring court affairs, she still needs to worry about many things. There is nothing she can do about it. The royal bloodline is weak nowadays, and there are very few people who can take on the responsibility. As a direct descendant of the royal bloodline, Xu Jiujiu naturally cannot sit idly by. She should do her best to contribute. After all, from other perspectives, isn't this also a kind of training for herself?

……

When the half-month deadline was up, Han Lin appeared outside the princess's mansion on time. Shu Yan welcomed him into the mansion, and the two sat opposite each other at the table. Shu Yan looked at Han Lin, who was disheveled, and then at the visible fatigue on his face, and sighed softly, then said:

"I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Han. I'm sure you must have put in a lot of effort this time. You should take a good rest after you go back today. Later, I will have someone send you some natural treasures to nourish your body and soul as compensation."

Han Lin grinned, waved his hand indifferently, and said calmly:

"No need to go to so much trouble. You have provided me with such precious raw materials for my research. This is the best compensation for me. I have not let you down this time. I have also brought the finished product. Please take a look."

As he spoke, a silver-white light flashed, and a strange-looking round soul guide appeared in front of Shu Yan.

The circular soul guide is silver-white in color, with gorgeous and strange patterns engraved on its outer edge. As it rotates slowly, wisps of cold air pour down from above like clouds.

Unlike the silver-white color of the watch case, the interior of this soul guide is a nearly transparent dark blue, with flashes of light appearing from time to time. Five diamond-shaped crystals are inlaid on the top, one of which has turned red, while the other four are still grayish-white without any fluctuations.

"According to my request, with the help of Giant Strength Douluo, I combined the ten thousand year old Titan Snow Demon skull with the eighth level soul guide Soul Shield that I developed earlier. During the fusion process, I selected the wonderful uses of many soul guides and combined them together."

"This soul guide not only has the effect of controlling and imprisoning souls, but it can also instantly use the seventh-level soul guide Heaven and Earth Net as a control-type soul skill. Within a reasonable range, it can store mental and soul power to increase its own power. It can even forcibly control and summon the residual soul of the ten thousand year old Titan Snow Demon to transform it into a form close to a physical entity to fight. However, doing so requires sacrifice... Ah, bah, storing enough souls..."

"In addition, because it is combined with the eighth-level soul guide Soul Shield, this soul guide can also amplify and reduce mental power within a certain range. This is an extremely rare breakthrough in the entire soul guide world. However, since this is the first time I have come across this situation, I am not sure about its true upper limit and practical application..."

“But it is undeniable that this soul guide must be the pinnacle of my soul guide career. Although it is only an eighth-level and a half soul guide, it is actually comparable to some ninth-level soul guides. Even I am surprised that I was able to complete the entire production process within half a month. The degree of success is simply like divine assistance…”

At the end of his speech, there was an obvious hint of excitement and madness in Han Lin's voice. This was something that had never happened in his previous research on soul guides, and it was a great surprise to him. It was also a historic breakthrough in his research on soul guides, even though he clearly knew that some of the abilities of this soul guide made by him were no different from those of an evil soul master.

But in the final analysis, Han Lin didn't care about these. He just wanted to study and make soul guides. What use would it have for Shu Yan? Sorry, he didn't care at all.

Perhaps many people don’t know that Han Lin’s teacher was once a powerful evil soul master and eighth-level soul mentor. This was partly the reason why the master and apprentice eventually broke up and killed each other.

But it is undeniable that the eighth-level soul master influenced Han Lin's life and also greatly influenced Han Lin's character. Perhaps, he still has a hint of hidden cruelty and bloodlust in his bones, but Shu Yan doesn't care about these. Cruelty or indiscriminate killing, what does it have to do with him? As long as Han Lin is loyal enough, even if he is a hidden evil soul master, he will never say a word.

After accepting this beautiful and cool soul guide, Han Lin said again:

"This soul guide doesn't have a name yet. I was going to name it myself, but after thinking about it, I decided to let you decide."

Shu Yan nodded, thought for a moment, and then said:
"Let's call it the Fall of the Darkness. What do you think, Mr. Han?"

Han Lin repeated the name softly, then laughed:
"Okay, let's call him the Fall of the Darkness. This name is powerful enough, I like it!"

The two chatted for a few more sentences, and then Han Lin stood up and said goodbye. Shu Yan saw him out of the house, and then in a few flashes they arrived at the empty backyard of the princess's house. Xue Di had been waiting there for a long time. Shu Yan didn't know exactly when she came. She must have sensed Han Lin's presence and was worried, so she came over to find out what was going on.

After all, the Snow Queen's current residence and the Princess's residence are really just separated by two walls...

Seeing Shu Yan coming, Xue Di squinted her eyes and looked at him for a while, then stretched out her hand and said:
"Bring it here."

Shu Yan was slightly stunned, and lowered his head to look at himself. For a moment he really didn't understand what Xue Di meant.

Xue Di looked at Shu Yan's confused expression, tapped the table lightly, and then said in a calm tone:
"Show me the soul guide you just got."

Shu Yan was stunned again. Although he didn't know why Xue Di wanted to see the Fall of Yin Ming, Shu Yan still took it out. The next moment, Shu Yan felt that his hands were empty. When he came to his senses, he found that the Fall of Yin Ming was already in Xue Di's hands.

Xue Di's spiritual power probed into it and instantly felt a strong attraction. Deeper in the air, Xue Di felt a familiar breath. Her expression changed slightly, but then quickly returned to normal. Shu Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this. After all, the three Titan Snow Demons they hunted in the Far North were not ordinary soul beasts. He was more or less worried that Xue Di was hiding some dissatisfaction in her heart, but when he thought about it, he felt helpless.

In fact, he was not very interested in the souls that would appear in the future. Now, to obtain soul rings, he naturally had to rely on hunting soul beasts. In the whole world, only the Far North and the ice sea outside the Far North had soul beasts that could meet his requirements. To be honest, if the Snow Queen really had any objections, then the whole thing would inevitably be a bit troublesome.
