Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 116 Attempting to Fuse with Ma Xiaotao's Martial Soul
Why do you think that when you reach level 80, the academy won't help you hunt for a 100,000-year soul ring?

Dugu Han stared at Ma Xiaotao speechlessly.

Ma Xiaotao said innocently, "The teacher said that the academy does not attack 100,000-year-old soul beasts, it seems to be because of the beast tide before."

"Then was then, and the present is now."

Dugu Han patiently explained to her, "You need to know that you are a Soul Master with the ultimate fire attribute, and you are also the grand-disciple of the teacher, the direct descendant of the academy, and it is not impossible for you to become the next Sea God Pavilion Master."

"I?"

"The Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion?"

Ma Xiaotao pointed to herself and blinked: "Am I worthy?"

"Don't interrupt!"

Dugu Han glared at her irritably and continued, "Even if you are not the next Sea God Pavilion Master, with your talent, as long as the academy is willing to invest heavily in your training, becoming a Limit Douluo is not a problem."

"A future Limit Douluo with the ultimate fire attribute."

Do you really think the academy would hinder your development for some ridiculous agreement?

Dugu Han stared at Ma Xiaotao speechlessly.

Ma Xiaotao froze on the spot after hearing this.

Extreme Douluo!

Am I really that awesome?

Dugu Han looked at the dumbfounded Ma Xiaotao, shook his head with amusement, and continued walking towards the academy.

After he had walked more than a hundred meters, Ma Xiaotao came to her senses and quickly chased after him.

"What are you doing again?"

Dugu Han glanced at Ma Xiaotao, who had grabbed his arm again.

"Junior Uncle, there is one more thing."

As Ma Xiaotao walked, she said, "I want to try dual cultivation with you."

"Double cultivation?"

Dugu Han abruptly stopped, his expression freezing instantly, his eyes filled with astonishment.

He stared at Ma Xiaotao in disbelief, and it took him a long time to find his voice: "Do you know what you're saying?"

"Dual cultivation!"

After Ma Xiaotao finished speaking, she realized she was wrong, her cheeks instantly turned red, and she quickly spat it out.

He then hurriedly explained, "Junior Uncle, don't misunderstand. I meant dual cultivation, but not the kind you're thinking of. I meant the two of us cultivating together."

"Practice together?"

Dugu Han pondered for a moment and said, "You mean the Hao Dong Power, similar to that of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, which can assist in enhancing cultivation, right?"

What is the Power of Haodong?

Ma Xiaotao was a little confused. She knew Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong; she had just met them. But what on earth was the "Power of Hao and Dong"?

"It's a product of their Martial Soul Fusion Technique, which can greatly increase cultivation speed," Dugu Han explained the origin of the Vast Winter Power.

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao understood: "That's exactly what I was thinking. Your martial soul has already transformed into the ultimate ice, while mine is the ultimate fire. As the saying goes, when yang reaches its extreme, yin is born, and when yin reaches its extreme, yang is born. So I wanted to try cultivating the ultimate ice and the ultimate fire together to see if there would be any amazing reaction."

Dugu Han fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

Although ice and fire are two opposing attributes, they are also mutually dependent.

As the saying goes, yin arises from yang, and yang arises from yin.

When the fire attribute is cultivated to its limit, it will turn into the ice attribute, and when the ice attribute reaches its limit, it will also turn into the fire attribute.

Electrolux represents the ultimate light, and the extreme of adversity transforms into the ultimate darkness, thus establishing the illustrious name of the Necromancer.

"Junior Uncle, let's give it a try!"

Seeing Dugu Han deep in thought, Ma Xiaotao said, "Moreover, your martial soul is an ice dragon, and my martial soul is a fire phoenix. Although ice and fire are opposites, dragon and phoenix are very compatible. In the history of the continent, there are many martial soul fusion techniques of dragon and phoenix."

“Previously, you were not the ultimate ice, and there was a gap in the attribute level between you and my ultimate fire.”

"But now that you have become the ultimate ice, you are a perfect match for my ultimate fire."

Ma Xiaotao became unusually excited when she said this.

Putting aside the improvement in cultivation speed, the fusion skill of the two ultimate martial souls, Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice, is absolutely superior to all martial soul fusion skills in the history of the continent.

"no!"

After thinking for a moment, Dugu Han shook his head: "Your idea is not bad, and it has some feasibility, but your martial soul attribute is not good enough."

"My martial soul attribute is not good enough?"

Ma Xiaotao said incredulously, "Please, I now possess the purest Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, with the ultimate fire attribute. You're saying my Martial Soul attribute is inferior?"

"My Frost Holy Dragon Martial Soul, which has evolved once again, has an ice attribute that surpasses the ultimate ice in the common people's understanding."

Dugu Han shook his head and said, "Looking across the entire continent, there is only one person whose martial soul attribute can rival mine, and she is currently in the far north."

"Shall we give it a try? We'll know if it works or not once we try!" Ma Xiaotao shook Dugu Han's arm.

If she succeeds, with double the cultivation speed, she is confident that she can cultivate her soul power to level 80 within a year and a half.

Her seventh spirit ring was a spirit ring that exceeded the age limit, which directly increased her spirit power by more than two levels.

Not long after returning to the academy to cultivate, he broke through to level 73.

Later, Yan Shaozhe obtained a 100,000-year-old soul bone for her from the academy, which, after she absorbed it, boosted her soul power by three levels.

In the eight months that followed, just half a month ago, she cultivated herself and increased her soul power by one level again.

Ma Xiaotao is now a level 77 Soul Saint!

If she could cultivate with Dugu Han, she was confident that she could cultivate her soul power to level 80 in a year and a half at most.

"Then let's give it a try!"

Dugu Han hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

His soul power is currently compressed, and his cultivation speed has slowed down significantly. If he could really cultivate with Ma Xiaotao to improve his cultivation speed, it would definitely be a good thing for him.

"That's great, let's go back right away."

When Ma Xiaotao saw that Dugu Han had agreed, she grabbed him and started running towards the academy.

"Not tonight!"

Dugu Han pulled Ma Xiaotao back and gently shook his head, saying, "It's too dangerous for the soul powers of ice and fire to come into direct contact. Tomorrow I'll ask my teacher to keep an eye on things. With my teacher there, it won't matter if some danger occurs."

"Can't we ask our master to keep an eye on things now?"

Ma Xiaotao looked at Dugu Han with suspicion.

Even a Limit Douluo needs to sleep!

Dugu Han rolled his eyes and walked towards the academy.

“But I heard my grandmaster say that he no longer needs to sleep!” Ma Xiaotao followed.

"If he doesn't sleep, I still need to sleep!"

……

After entering the inner courtyard, Dugu Han went straight to Zhang Lexuan's dormitory.

Ma Xiaotao stared at his impatient figure and said quietly, "Sister Lexuan has gone to lead the inspection team on a mission!"

Dugu Han paused, stopped, turned around, and asked, "When did this happen?"

Three days ago!

Ma Xiaotao thought for a moment and explained, "It is said that a group of evil soul masters has emerged in the Star Luo Empire. Among them are three Soul Douluo-level evil soul masters who are very troublesome. Even Sister Ruoruo went with them!"

"Elder Xuan didn't go, did he?" Dugu Han frowned. He was somewhat worried about the existence of this Supreme Elder.

"What would he be doing if he didn't even have a titled Douluo?"

Ma Xiaotao didn't have a very good impression of Elder Xuan either.

She rolled her eyes, leaned against the tree beside her, and teased Dugu Han, "Go on, Junior Uncle, go to sleep!"

"I'm not sleepy anymore!"

Dugu Han turned and walked towards the Sea God Pavilion.

Ma Xiaotao suppressed a laugh and quickly followed.

Elder Mu was dozing in the Sea God Pavilion when he sensed the two entering. He opened his eyes, looked at Dugu Han, and asked kindly, "You just got back, aren't you going to rest?"

"Some people were originally planning to go back and rest, but Sister Lexuan was sent out to carry out a surveillance mission, so some people suddenly became wide awake!" Ma Xiaotao complained.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she felt a sudden pain in the back of her head.

Dugu Han withdrew his hand from Ma Xiaotao's head: "You have no manners, you even dare to joke with me!"

"Master!"

Ma Xiaotao immediately looked at Old Mu with a pitiful expression.

Old Mu smiled and said, "Alright, stop joking around, tell me what you need to talk about!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao stopped pretending to be aggrieved and seriously told him about her desire to try cultivating with Dugu Han.

After she finished speaking, Dugu Han added, "I feel it's feasible, but I'm worried that direct contact between ice and fire soul powers might be dangerous, so I'd like to ask you, teacher, to keep an eye on things."

After listening, Elder Mu pondered for a moment and agreed, saying, "Ice is yin, fire is yang. Yin gives rise to yang, and yang gives rise to yin. This idea is correct, but your martial soul attributes are not on the same level, making it difficult to merge."

After saying that, he glanced at Dugu Han and then said to Ma Xiaotao, "Your junior uncle's martial soul has evolved again, surpassing Huo Yuhao's ultimate ice martial soul. It's a level above yours, so it's estimated that your soul powers will be difficult to fuse."

"Just give it a try!"

Ma Xiaotao said indifferently.

If it works out, that would be great; if it doesn't, it's alright too, since Elder Mu is watching over things and nothing will go wrong.

"Teacher, let us give it a try!" Dugu Han also spoke up.

"Okay, let's try it here!"

Seeing that the two insisted, Old Mu waved his hand and removed the tables and chairs that were usually used for meetings in the hall, making room for the two of them.

The two exchanged a glance and each summoned their own martial spirit to possess their bodies.

Five spirit rings, yellow, purple, black, and red, rose from beneath Dugu Han's feet.

Seven spirit rings, yellow, purple, black, and black, rose from beneath Ma Xiaotao's feet.

After the two martial spirits were attached to their bodies, two opposing auras, one of ice and one of fire, immediately appeared in the main hall of the Sea God Pavilion.

But in just a moment, the ice-attribute aura that surpassed the extreme directly and overwhelmingly suppressed the fire-attribute aura.

An aura of ice attribute that surpassed the extreme instantly filled most of the Sea God Pavilion's main hall.

The extreme fire attribute aura could only occupy a small portion of the Sea God Pavilion's main hall, struggling to resist.

"This is an attribute that surpasses the ultimate!"

"There's still a 100,000-year soul ring!"

Upon seeing this, a strange light flashed in Old Master Mu's eyes.

However, he knew that his disciple had his own secrets, so he didn't ask any further questions.

Ma Xiaotao was shocked when she saw this scene.

Although both Dugu Han and Elder Mu said that her martial soul quality and attributes were inferior to his, the difference was still too great!
Then she noticed Dugu Han's blood-red 100,000-year soul ring.

Ma Xiaotao looked at the 100,000-year spirit ring, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Elder Mu: "Grandmaster, I want a 100,000-year spirit ring for my eighth spirit ring!"

"Row!"

Old Mu smiled and agreed.

Ma Xiaotao is different from Dugu Han. Ma Xiaotao does not have her own family and is the next Sea God Pavilion Master whom he favors.

Although he is not mature enough yet, children always need time to grow.

"Thank you, Grandmaster! Long live the Grandmaster!"

Ma Xiaotao cheered excitedly.

Dugu Han laughed too: "See, I told you so!"

"Alright, you guys try spirit fusion first!" Elder Mu said with a smile.

"it is good!"

The two immediately became serious.

"Xiao Tao!"

Dugu Han looked at Ma Xiaotao and solemnly instructed, "It is extremely dangerous for the opposing elemental soul powers of ice and fire to come into direct contact, so you must control your soul power carefully."

"I understand!"

Ma Xiaotao took a deep breath facing Dugu Han, and then took the initiative to reach out and grab his hand.

"teacher!"

Dugu Han looked at Elder Mu with some unease.

Old Master Mu smiled confidently and said, "Go ahead and do it!"

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Han felt reassured and relaxed.

Then he looked at Ma Xiaotao again.

The two men touched palm to palm, their fingers clasped tightly!
Dugu Han's icy blue soul power spread along his arm like a living thing, condensing into tiny ice crystals on his skin, while Ma Xiaotao's fiery soul power transformed into crimson patterns, burning the back of her hand until it shone.

The two, each carrying their own elemental soul power surpassing the ultimate ice and the ultimate fire, gathered their soul power in their palms and attempted their first contact.

The moment the two energies, ice and fire, came into contact, a rising mist instantly appeared.

When Ma Xiaotao's ultimate fire-attribute soul power came into contact with Dugu Han's soul power, which surpassed the ultimate ice-attribute soul power, it was like a blazing flame suddenly encountering extremely cold ice water.

The flames were extinguished by ice water!
Dugu Han's soul power also flowed through his palm and invaded Ma Xiaotao's body.

Ma Xiaotao's arms, which had originally shown red lines, were instantly covered with a layer of frost.

Frost spread wildly down her arm, and the crimson lines gradually dimmed beneath the ice, like a dying flame.

The extreme cold, along with the invasion of Dugu Han's soul power, traveled along her meridians like a venomous snake, and her fiery soul power was suppressed and forced to retreat step by step.

Ma Xiaotao immediately forced herself to mobilize her soul power, trying to expel the soul power that had invaded her body.

"Hold on!"

Dugu Han quickly shouted to stop her.

At the same time, he was also carefully withdrawing his soul power.

"call!"

After Dugu Han completely withdrew his soul power, he released Ma Xiaotao's hand and let out a long sigh of relief.

Ma Xiaotao frowned as she looked at the melting frost on her hands.

The two transferred equal amounts of soul power, but as soon as their soul power made contact, Dugu Han's soul power instantly overwhelmed hers.

Is the difference in attributes really that big?
