Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 60: After suffering from grievances, Xu Jiujiu attempts to compete in the so-called soul master competition for the first time (seeking first order)
Everything that happened last night is still vivid in my mind like a dream. Although I haven’t really eaten the meat yet, I am only one step away.

Of course, Shu Yan was not a person who would let himself be wronged. After suffering many grievances, he fled in panic. The golden ribbon dangled on the couch, and various clothes fell messily on the ground. It was vaguely visible how noisy the "fight" just now was.

It was not until more than an hour later that Xu Jiujiu came back from outside wearing a white silk pajamas. Her long golden hair was still a little wet, obviously, she had just taken a shower.

Shu Yan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the resentful expression on Xu Jiujiu's face who was staring at him, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Jiujiu, why didn't you ask me to take a shower? Actually, I'm not thinking of anything bad, I just think it's more water-saving to take a shower alone..."

After listening to Shu Yan's teasing voice for a long time, he grabbed a pillow and hit Shu Yan hard. Then he walked to the quiet room at the back with satisfaction, and said softly:

"I can't wait any longer, so I'll just absorb the left leg bone tonight. If you can't sleep, you can protect me. But you are not allowed to stay more than 20 meters away from me."

Shu Yan watched Xu Jiujiu's figure disappear behind the curtain and sighed helplessly. However, it didn't matter where he practiced. Since his little princess wanted him to accompany her, could he really refuse?

Just kidding, considering how Xu Jiujiu had just endured the humiliation, he couldn't let the other party down, okay...

……

The night passed quickly. Xu Jiujiu's white calves were still emitting a faint light. Her beautiful brows were slightly frowned, as if she was in some pain. Shu Yan sat cross-legged in the courtyard less than ten meters away from her to practice. At the same time, he began to study the soul mark that Alex left in his sea of ​​​​consciousness.

According to Alex, this soul mark contains the credentials for freely entering and exiting the undead demiplane and some of the simplest undead magic. He still needs to sleep for a while, so he left such a mark for Shu Yan to study on his own. It can be regarded as a preliminary understanding of undead magic, and he can teach Shu Yan more powerful undead magic in the future.

Shu Yan was not against undead magic. Compared to the cumbersome soul guides that required a lot of time and energy to learn, he was actually more interested in undead magic, a power that was completely different from the Douluo plane, and naturally he was willing to spend time on it.

Everything had been stable these past few days, and there was nothing big for Shu Yan to worry about, so he was in a very peaceful mood at the moment, which was just right for him to comprehend this new power.

After some attempts, Shu Yan couldn't help but be dazed as he looked at those complicated spells.

Due to the difference in the plane system, the display of undead magic in the Douluo plane requires the combination of spells and soul power so that it can be perfectly performed.

Shu Yan's comprehension ability has always been top-notch, but he was a little careless when it came to learning the Undead Magic. Seeing those seemingly simple Undead Magic turned into a mess under his hands, Shu Yan decisively spared the remaining trembling soft-bone rabbits, and then ended their lives in another way and brought them to the grill...

……

After Xu Jiujiu finished absorbing the soul bone and woke up, his first feeling was smelling an extremely strong fragrance. Xu Jiujiu looked at the time, then put on his shoes and walked out of the room.

Shu Yan skillfully brushed seasoning on the sizzling soft-bone rabbit. Beside him, the two Ice and Snow Emperors, attracted by the aroma, were sitting together leisurely chatting about something. After stretching, Xu Jiujiu was in a good mood and walked towards Shu Yan and the other two.

"Sister Xue, Sister Bingbing, good afternoon..." Noticing Xu Jiujiu approaching, Xue Di nodded first, then pointed to an empty chair beside her, motioning Xu Jiujiu to sit down.

Bingdi put down the drink in his hand, tilted his head and moved closer to Xu Jiujiu, then said:
"I heard from Shu Yan that you are making a breakthrough. That's not bad. You are a 15-year-old Soul Sect. If you work hard, you should have a chance to break through to the high-level Soul King realm before you are 20."

Xu Jiujiu smiled, nodded and said:

"I hope so. However, after breaking through the Soul Sect, the speed at which my martial soul absorbs the power of the starry sky should increase by about 20%. With the help of some special soul guides, I will also start to practice with concentration and strive to enter the Soul King level as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will be embarrassed in the competition three years later..."

Bingdi thought hard and then asked:
"Is it the continent-wide competition that's held every five years as mentioned in the book?"

Xu Jiujiu nodded, then she glanced at Shu Yan who was still patiently grilling the soft-bone rabbit, and said with some regret:

"I once asked A Yan to accompany me to participate in this competition. With his participation, plus the comprehensive control and defense of my Star Crown Martial Spirit, it should not be difficult to shatter the myth of Shrek's undefeated ten thousand years. But A Yan has never been interested in this kind of competition, and I don't want to force him, so I rarely mention it again..."

Upon hearing this, Xue Di raised her eyes slightly, glanced at Shu Yan, and then said softly:

“Is this kind of competition important to you?”

Xu Jiujiu was slightly stunned, and then explained:
"In a sense, it is extremely important. Holding such a victory meeting is of great help to enhance the reputation of the country and the city. At the same time, a considerable amount of income can be obtained through ticket sales or other opportunities during the competition, which is also of great help to the national finances."

"In addition, if we can defeat Shrek Academy, which has maintained its undefeated myth for ten thousand years, head-on, we will not only gain fame, but also something deeper. Even for such a huge empire, it will be an exciting event."

As Bingdi listened, he frowned, and then said with a frown:
"You humans are really weird. The things you do are just like this. We, the soul beasts, are more direct..."

"This……"

Xu Jiujiu was speechless. She thought about it carefully and had some ideas in her mind, but she didn't know how to express them.

At this moment, Xue Di spoke again:
"Bing'er, don't talk nonsense. Races are different after all. For a princess like Jiujiu to take this seriously, it can't be something meaningless..."

"Sister Xue is right. Whether the Soul Master Competition is meaningful or not depends on one's perspective. To be honest, this thing itself has no meaning to me. But for example, if I win this game, Jiujiu will be very happy, and then she will agree to my proposal. Then the Soul Master Competition will have meaning to me. It's just a different perspective. It's a normal thing..."

Shu Yan's voice also came from the side. Feeling the slightly teasing eyes of the Ice and Snow Emperors, he blushed unconvincingly for a long time...
