Wuhun element periodic table, rubbing black hole in Douluo

Chapter 383 I don’t even want to act anymore

"clang!"

A crisp, metallic clang echoed through the igloo!

The crimson beam of light slammed into Lin You's crossed arms, the energy exploding outwards and creating a shockwave.

The force of the impact propelled Lin You backward several meters, his feet carving deep furrows in the icy ground before finally bringing him to a stop.

He lowered his arm and saw a charred mark on his skin. It stung slightly, but the skin was still intact, without any damage or bleeding.

Lin You shook his slightly numb arm and clicked his tongue, saying, "So this is what it feels like to be hit head-on by a level six soul tool."

He felt the sensation in his arm and a strange expression appeared on his face: "The feeling... is just so-so. No wonder the soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire like to use this kind of energy compression circuit. Simply compressing the energy all at once and then releasing it is no different from shooting a water gun. The power is a bit greater, but the penetration and sustainability are far inferior."

He looked down at his undamaged arm, then looked up at Xue Di and grinned, "I never thought I'd become this thick-skinned. It's unbelievable."

Looking at the rapidly fading charred marks on Lin You's arm and hearing his slightly disgusted comment, Xue Di was momentarily at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The full-force attack of a level six soul-guided ray only made his arm numb and left a mark? This defensive power probably surpasses that of many Soul Emperors who specialize in defense!
She moved gracefully to Lin You, stretched out her slender hand, and gently pinched the muscle of Lin You's arm with a hint of curiosity.

"clang!"

A crisp sound, like metal clashing, rang out.

Xue Di's fingers felt an extremely tough, cold metallic texture, as if she were not pinching flesh and blood, but a piece of alloy that had been forged through countless hammerings!

A look of obvious surprise appeared on her face: "You...you really integrated elemental attributes into your skin? I remember your previous modifications were mainly focused on your bones."

Lin You stretched his arms proudly, feeling their resilience: "That's right. Bones are fundamental, but surface defense is equally important. Only when one achieves ultimate strength from the inside out can one be considered a true 'elemental body.' This path of physical ascension is the one I must take!"

Seeing the unwavering light in Lin You's eyes, Xue Di nodded slightly, her icy blue eyes gleaming with an unusual brilliance. Tempering oneself with elemental power to forge one's body into a fortress comparable to a divine weapon—this path, though arduous, undoubtedly holds boundless potential.

Lin You chuckled inwardly as he looked at Xue Di's astonished expression. Actually, there was one more thing he hadn't mentioned.

If he continues to cultivate by integrating various elements and constantly transforming his body, incorporating elements such as gold, calcium, phosphorus, hydrogen, and oxygen into his flesh and bone marrow, who knows what he will eventually become?

I'm afraid that by then, after unlocking all the properties on the periodic table, I might not even be able to be considered a pure human being anymore.

Lin You even had an absurd thought: If he gets appendicitis in the future, that thing will probably be as hard as a diamond, and he probably won't be able to cut it with an ordinary knife. Just the inflammation alone could make him die from the pain.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grin.

Seeing Xue Di's surprised yet appreciative expression, Lin You felt smug, but his mind started wandering.

"Snow Woman, if I get appendicitis in the future, do you think I'll need a soul-guided cutting machine to remove it?" he asked seriously, stroking his chin.

Snow Emperor: "..."

She withdrew her fingers from Lin You's arm, a rare hint of helplessness appearing on her usually aloof face. This guy's thought process was always so peculiar.

"Alright, stop fooling around." Xue Di gently shook her head, returned the soul-guided ray gun to Lin You, and then flipped her jade hand.

In a flash of light, two items appeared out of thin air in her palm. A deep, blood-red soul ring floated silently, emanating a rich fluctuation of soul power and spiritual aura—the very remnant left behind by the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant after its death.

Beside the spirit ring was a skull that shimmered with a faint silver light. It was about the size of a human head, with a peculiar shape and its surface covered with mysterious patterns. It also contained powerful spiritual energy.

"These are the soul rings and soul bones of that evil-eyed tyrant."

Xue Di's tone returned to calm, "The spirit ring is 100,000 years old and belongs to the spiritual attribute. This skull also belongs to the spiritual attribute and is of extremely high quality; it should be the essence of its entire body."

She paused, looking at the skull, a hint of doubt flashing in her cold eyes: "But... I don't understand why a huge eyeball soul beast would drop a soul bone shaped like a human skull."

Don't ask, the answer is the manifestation of the rules of Douluo Continent.

Lin You's attention was instantly drawn to the two treasures, especially the still solid 100,000-year soul ring.

"and many more!"

His eyes widened in disbelief. "Snow Maiden, how come this spirit ring is still there?!"

According to common knowledge in Douluo Continent, a spirit ring will dissipate and return to the world within an hour at most after a spirit beast dies if no one absorbs it. However, several days have passed since they killed that Evil Eye Tyrant! This blood-red 100,000-year spirit ring remains as solid as ever, radiating powerful energy fluctuations.

This completely subverted his cognition!

Seeing Lin You's shocked expression, Xue Di smiled slightly, a hint of mystery in her eyes: "Naturally, I used some tricks."

"Tips and tricks?"

Lin You pressed further, "What method can prevent the spirit ring from dissipating?"

Snow Empress extended her slender jade finger and gently touched the blood-red soul ring. A wisp of extreme cold emanated from it, and the light on the surface of the soul ring seemed to freeze for a moment.

"The reason why spirit rings dissipate is because their essence is energy, and energy will naturally dissipate," the Snow Empress explained slowly, her voice clear and melodious. "But my power can freeze the dissipation of energy."

She raised her eyes to look at Lin You, her icy blue pupils gleaming with confidence: "This is all thanks to Tianmeng's 'open source' knowledge, which has given me a deeper understanding of the essence of the soul and energy. Although I'm not good at those clanging soul tools of you humans, I have my own understanding of the use of martial souls and soul power, especially the ultimate application of ice."

She smiled slightly, with a hint of pride befitting the ruler of the far north: "By freezing and sealing the energy essence that constitutes the soul ring, along with the power of the rules it contains, with the power of extreme ice, we can naturally prevent it from dissipating."

Lin You was stunned.

Freezing energy dissipation? Freezing the power of rules?
Holy crap, the Sun Moon Empire has only just developed a Soul Ring Storage Device, right?

I initially thought it was a groundbreaking work, but I never expected that in the hands of a master, soul power would be even more overpowered than technology.

After thinking it over and over, he could only utter one word.

"6!"
