Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 83 Soul Emperor Shu Yan, Friendship or Love

This was the first time that Shu Yan witnessed the horror of the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow.

After summoning his martial soul, Shu Yan, with the help of Xue Di, directly wrapped a medium-sized Wan Zai Xuan Bing Sui into his own soul power.

As the pure and flawless shell of the Wanzai Xuanbing Sui shattered, a stream of dark blue liquid suddenly flowed into Shu Yan's body from it.

Shu Yan groaned. At the moment when the Ten Thousand Years Black Ice Marrow was shattered, he felt an even stronger cold current suddenly coming. Rich ice energy lingered inside the cave. Even the ice energy inside the cave, which was already extremely rich, was attracted and then rushed towards Shu Yan's body.

The Snow Queen smiled and looked at Shu Yan. She waved her hand, and six different sized Mysterious Ice Marrows were drawn to Shu Yan's side. The ice-blue light connected them together. Shu Yan raised his eyes slightly, and heard the Snow Queen say:

"I just roughly felt it. With your current physical strength and the help of this emperor, you can only withstand the energy of seven ten thousand years of black ice marrow at most."

"Be calm and guard your spirit. Next, I will help you integrate these seven ten thousand years of profound ice marrow into your body. Remember, this does not mean that you can absorb all their energy at once. I just want them to be completely integrated into your soul power and your origin. When you practice in the future, these energies that I have sealed in your soul power will gradually be attracted to you. This is the most gentle and most suitable absorption method for a soul master of your level."

"If you really want to absorb it all at once, then Bing'er and I are actually willing to wait here for you to sleep for about ten years before waking up. During this process, Bing'er and I will slowly integrate the remaining Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow into your body. When you wake up, your cultivation may directly reach the level of Titled Douluo or even Super Douluo..."

Shu Yan couldn't help but shudder when he heard the clear voice of the Snow Queen. He circulated his soul power to absorb the pure ice-attributed energy and origin from the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow, and said:
"That's not necessary. Sleeping for eight to ten years is really fatal to me. I don't have the time, and I don't want to waste it. I'd better absorb it slowly. If I can really absorb so much Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Marrow without any effect, then the Dream Ice Silkworm wouldn't have to sleep for so long. There is a limit to the gift. Once it exceeds the limit, it is hard to say whether the result will be a blessing or a disaster."

Xue Di chuckled, but the speed of carving the inscription in her hand increased a little.

The energies of seven ten-thousand-year-old black ice marrows poured into Shu Yan's body at the same time. Shu Yan's body swelled and deflated like a ball. Fortunately, with the nourishment of the gold of life, Shu Yan's body was already strong, especially his meridians, which were extremely elastic. This was able to barely support him in absorbing such terrifying energy.

During this process, Shu Yan was constantly looking inward at his body. He discovered that just as Xue Di said, the ten thousand years of black ice marrow that had merged into his body was completely different from his normal soul power.

These eternal mysterious ice marrows that had merged into his body but could not be absorbed temporarily were like ice chips floating in his soul power and meridians. Each ice chip contained considerable energy. As long as he circulated his soul power to practice, he would be able to refine and absorb them bit by bit. This was the absorption method that Xue Di said was most suitable for him.

In essence, this was actually similar to the Snow Lotus Origin that the Snow Empress had sealed in him, except that the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow was more useful in improving cultivation, while the Snow Lotus Origin, which was a lot milder, was more focused on regulating the body's meridians and origin. But no matter what, this was a great opportunity for him, and apart from the current pain, there were almost no other disadvantages.

While sealing, Shu Yan almost did his best to absorb the ice-attributed energy that could be attracted to him. The huge amount of ice-attributed energy entered his body, and his soul power began to fluctuate, just like a huge rock suddenly fell into the calm water, causing a huge wave...

……

Time passed in a flash and it was one day later. With waves of soul power spreading out, the sight moved a little further. The original seven ten thousand year old black ice marrows had already been broken, and the Snow Queen was now pulling a brand new ten thousand year old black ice marrow and carefully injecting the energy in it into Shu Yan's body.

Crack—not long after, accompanied by a crisp sound, a soul power fluctuation that was completely different from the previous one spread out, and the ice-attribute energy in the cave was also drawn to become much more active. Until Shu Yan's breath slowly calmed down, Xue Di stopped her actions and then threw the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Marrow, which had been absorbed by Shu Yan by at least half, to Bing Di.

Bingdi took it with joy, looking at Shu Yan with a hint of surprise.

“I have to say, this kid’s physical fitness is really good. He has close to eight ten thousand years of profound ice marrow. Tsk tsk, even if a part of the energy is directly refined by him to improve his soul power, the remaining seven are definitely not something that ordinary people can bear.”

Snow Emperor chuckled lightly, and then said:

"The treasure in his spiritual sea is extraordinary. Such a huge amount of life energy makes it almost impossible for him to die. In addition, the snow lotus essence nourishes him day and night. His physical fitness has always been far beyond his own level. In comparison, his spiritual power seems to be the one that has retreated."

"But with the presence of Yi Lao, he is almost immune to all mental attacks, so this is not a big deal."

Upon hearing this, Bingdi tutted his tongue twice and said with some envy:
"What a lucky boy! He is far ahead of his peers in both career and love. Moreover, with his seemingly loyal but actually amorous personality, he will probably have many confidantes in the future. It's just a pity that the boyfriend I raised with great difficulty is so outstanding. I'm sure there will be no shortage of troubles in the future..."

Xue Di's expression changed slightly for a moment, then she smiled and shook her head, saying softly:

"Don't think too much. The most important thing for us now is to help him grow up quickly. The rest will depend on fate."

"The strong are like this, just like our soul beast clan. The strong are born with more choices and mating rights. The same is true for humans. As long as he is strong enough, who can refuse him what he wants..."

Bingdi hugged Xuedi from behind, smelling the fragrance on Xuedi's body, she smiled and continued:

"Then... Xue'er, do you like me?"

Xue Di's body stiffened slightly, and a trace of confusion appeared in her beautiful sky-blue eyes, but soon she spoke:

"Bing'er, I don't know how to answer this question, but from the bottom of my heart, Bing'er, I should like you... But, I have long been unable to tell whether my feelings for you are friendship that has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years, or the so-called love..."
