Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 119 The Crown Prince's Cousin and Cai Tou

Today is the day when the core disciples of the outer academy will participate in the Shrek Seven Devils' substitute team assessment.

Twenty-six core disciples from the Spirit Academy and one core disciple from the Soul Guidance Academy, a total of twenty-seven people, engaged in a chaotic battle in the Soul Battle Zone to determine the final seven winners. These seven winners would then serve as substitutes for the Shrek Seven Devils in this Soul Master Competition and travel together to Star Luo City to participate in the Soul Master Competition.

When Dugu Han arrived at the Soul Fighting Zone, the twenty-seven core disciples were engaged in a chaotic battle.

Ning Tian, ​​holding the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, formed a four-person team with Wu Feng, Dai Huabin, and Zhu Lu.

Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and He Caitou formed a united group.

The remaining sixteen people also formed two teams of seven, and two more joined Ning Tian's team of four.

The four teams were already locked in a fierce battle. The Netherworld White Tiger, a martial soul fusion skill formed by Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, was being used with the assistance of Ning Tian's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and it was directly overwhelming Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, who had already become Soul Masters.

Wu Feng has also broken through to the Soul Master level. With the assistance of Ning Tian's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, his Red Dragon Martial Soul is in no way inferior to Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Ice Martial Soul.

Meanwhile, He Caitou had a cigar in his mouth and his body was covered with all sorts of soul-guided devices, all aimed at several people.

Dugu Han stopped in his tracks when he saw He Caitou's dark skin.

He Caitou, whose real name is Xu He, was originally his cousin, the Crown Prince.

He remembered that when he was a child, he went to the Sun Moon Empire to play. He Caitou took him to stay in the palace and innocently said that he would make him a prince in the future.

At this moment, He Caitou also noticed Dugu Han's gaze. He turned his head and was stunned: "Little...Little Han!"

"careful!"

Xiao Xiao suddenly noticed someone taking advantage of He Caitou's momentary lapse in attention to launch a sneak attack on him, and quickly raised her Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron to smash it over.

He Caitou snapped out of his daze and immediately pulled out his Soul Cannon, firing it with full power at the person who had been stunned by Xiaoxiao for a second.

A loud 'boom' rang out!
The man was immediately blasted away.

Everyone in the arena was shocked by the power of this soul-guided cannon and immediately focused their fire on He Caitou.

Upon seeing this, Huo Yuhao and the others simultaneously began to defend, protecting He Caitou.

Outside the arena, Elder Xuan was gnawing on a chicken leg when he suddenly noticed Dugu Han entering and waved to him with a smile.

"Mr. Xuan!"

Dugu Han walked over with a smile.

A teacher next to Elder Xuan saw Dugu Han approaching and said with a smile, "You must be Dugu Han. I am Wang Yan, the teacher of Class 1, Grade 2. I watched the entire freshman assessment competition. It was amazing, especially your self-created soul skill, which was unparalleled."

"Thank you for the compliment, teacher!"

Dugu Han smiled and turned his gaze back to He Caitou.

"Would you like to go up and have some fun?" Elder Xuan asked with a smile.

"forget it!"

Dugu Han smiled and shook his head: "It would be too much of a humiliation for me to go up there, and you should know that my identity makes it impossible for me to join the Shrek Seven Devils."

"That's true, but what exactly is the feud between your Dugu family and the Tang Clan?" Elder Xuan couldn't help but ask.

What grudge could be held for tens of thousands of years?

Moreover, he had read the academy's records about the original Shrek Seven Devils. In the records, Tang San and the ancestors of the Dugu family were clearly close friends despite their age difference. How could their descendants have become estranged and never interacted with each other again?

"It's been so many years of grudges. As a junior, I should just follow the rules set by my predecessors."

Dugu Han smiled but didn't offer any further explanation.

The feud has lasted for tens of thousands of years; who can truly explain it?

Ning Tian also noticed Dugu Han, his eyes lit up and he waved to him happily.

"Focus on the assessment first."

Dugu Han smiled and reminded him.

"Uh-huh!"

Ning Tian nodded obediently and continued to focus on assisting.

Before long, the battle on the field entered a fierce stage.

Huo Yuhao also withdrew his Ultimate Ice Martial Soul and used his Spirit Eye Martial Soul, activating the Spirit Sharing skill.

With his shared spirit, the group's cooperation became increasingly seamless.

Victory is only a matter of time.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly.

The battle on the field has come to an end.

Huo Yuhao and his seven companions won the final victory.

Although Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's Netherworld White Tiger, with the blessing of the Ningtian Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, was unparalleled for a time, directly suppressing Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi and forcing the two to retreat step by step.

However, under the perfect fusion of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's martial souls, they were still defeated and lost their fighting ability.

Wu Feng was also swept off the field, leaving only Ning Tian unharmed.

Huo Yuhao and the other six stood in a row, staring at Ning Tian, ​​but none of them dared to make a move.

Xu Sanshi stole a glance at Dugu Han, who was standing with Elder Xuan, and after sensing the threat in his eyes, he swallowed hard.

Wang Dong said speechlessly, "Dugu Han was watching over her with such a threatening look, who would dare to touch her!"

"Xiao Tian!"

Dugu Han beckoned to Ning Tian and said, "Come down!"

"All right!"

Ning Tian playfully stuck out his tongue, put away his martial spirit, ran over, and said with a smile, "Did you just get back today?"

"I came back three nights ago. I had some things to take care of after I got back, so I didn't come to see you right away."

Dugu Han briefly explained the reason, then looked at Elder Xuan and said, "I'll take Xiao Tian out for a stroll."

"Okay, let's go!"

Elder Xuan readily agreed.

"Wu Feng, I'll be waiting for you at the usual spot!"

Dugu Han said something to Wu Feng, then glanced at He Caitou, who was looking down and avoiding his gaze, shook his head, and took Ning Tian's hand as they walked out of the Soul Fighting Zone.

The other students watched as he easily took Ning Tian away, and then they looked at Elder Xuan.

Someone complained, "Teacher, the assessment just ended, and you haven't even announced the results yet, and he's already taking people away. Isn't that a huge disrespect to you?"

"If you can cultivate your soul power to the level of a high-level Soul King at the age of thirteen, you can also disregard me." Elder Xuan glanced at him indifferently.

Apart from Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, everyone else was stunned and stood there in shock.

During the freshman assessment last year, they all knew the soul power level of advanced Soul Masters.

But it's only been a year!

It's already remarkable to break through from Advanced Soul Master to Soul King in just one year, how could it be possible to jump directly to Advanced Soul King?

This is not common sense!
He Caitou looked up at Dugu Han's departing figure, his expression complex.

Huo Yuhao noticed He Caitou's gaze and asked, "Do you know him?"

He Caitou withdrew his gaze, remained silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "I'll talk to you privately when we get back!"

……

"Do you know that big guy from the Soul Guidance Academy?"

Ning Tian linked arms with Dugu Han and asked as they walked.

During the assessment competition, she noticed that Dugu Han's gaze often fell on He Caitou, more often than on her.

"I know him!" Dugu Han paused for a moment, then said, "He's my cousin."

"cousin?"

Ning Tian paused for a moment, then his pupils suddenly contracted: "Then wouldn't he be..."

"His surname is Xu, but he changed his name!"

Dugu Han shook his head and said, "It's enough that you know it yourself!"

"Don't worry, I won't say anything."

Ning Tian put his index finger and thumb to his lips to assure himself that he would never say anything out of line.

Dugu Han smiled upon seeing this, and then said, "I would like you to help me write a letter to Uncle Ning."

"What letter are you writing?" Ning Tian asked, linking arms with him.

"I want Uncle Ning to help me hunt a 100,000-year-old soul beast when I break through level 60."

"A hundred thousand year soul beast?"

Ning Tian stopped in surprise, frowning as he looked at Dugu Han and asked, "You want to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring as your sixth soul ring?"

"Correct!"

Dugu Han smiled and nodded.

"Isn't it too early? Can you withstand the energy of a 100,000-year-old spirit ring?"

Ning Tian was somewhat worried, knowing that even Elder Mu could only absorb a 100,000-year soul ring at the Soul Saint level.

The Dragon Emperor Douluo, who was on par with Elder Mu, only absorbed a 100,000-year soul ring when he reached his eighth soul ring.

As for absorbing a 100,000-year spirit ring as his sixth spirit ring, only Tang San from 10,000 years ago in the entire history of Douluo Continent has accomplished this!
But that was because of a sacrifice!
"OK!"

Dugu Han smiled and said, "I have some good fortune this time. The fifth soul ring I absorbed is a 100,000-year soul ring."

"What? You've already absorbed a 100,000-year-old soul ring?"

Ning Tian covered her mouth in surprise, staring at him in disbelief.

A fifth spirit ring that takes 100,000 years to form!

The difficulty involved is countless times greater than that of obtaining a third soul ring in ten thousand years.

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

Dugu Han held Ning Tian's little hand and said as they walked, "Besides that, I also absorbed a 100,000-year-old snow lotus, and my martial soul has evolved into the Frost Sacred Dragon, which has surpassed the limit."

Ning Tian stared blankly at Dugu Han.

A 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone!
A snow lotus that is 100,000 years old!
What an incredible stroke of luck!
There are also martial spirits that surpass the ultimate.

correct!

Ning Tian thought of what Dugu Han had said about a martial soul that surpassed the limit, and looked at him in confusion: "What do you mean by surpassing the limit? Isn't it said that the ultimate attribute is already the pinnacle of attributes?"

"how to say!"

Dugu Han thought for a moment and explained as simply as possible: "Let's take extreme ice as an example. Extreme ice is just a general term for ice attribute when the temperature reaches a certain limit. As long as the ice attribute reaches that limit, it is extreme ice."

"However, temperatures vary, and so does extreme ice. When the temperature of extreme ice exceeds another limit, it surpasses the level of the extreme, which is the level of my current martial soul attribute."

After listening, Ning Tian vaguely understood something.

"correct!"

What level is your soul power now?

She added, "An ultimate martial soul will compress soul power. Since your martial soul has already surpassed the ultimate, the compression of soul power should be even more severe!"

"Level 57 is a bit more serious than an ordinary ultimate martial soul, but it's not a big deal."

Dugu Han smiled and said, "I have found a way to increase my cultivation speed. Once I break through level 60, I should be able to solve the problem of slow cultivation speed!"

"What can we do?"

The two talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the academy gate.

Dugu Han suddenly stopped in his tracks when he saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl with a scorpion-tail braid.

The girl knelt before the statue of Tang San, one of the Shrek Seven Devils, as if she were repenting.

Ning Tian followed Dugu Han's gaze and explained, "She is Tang Ya, the sect leader of the Tang Clan. She once approached me, hoping that our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could help her rebuild the Tang Clan, but I refused!"

"She seems to be repenting!" Dugu Han frowned.

Ning Tian casually remarked, "Perhaps it's because they weren't selected to participate in the Shrek Seven Devils' substitute assessment, and they feel they've disgraced their ancestors!"

"Maybe!"

Dugu Han shook his head and stopped paying attention. He took Ning Tian's hand and walked out of the academy to stroll around.

noon!

The two sat in a restaurant where they often dined together, waiting for Wu Feng to arrive.

Upon arriving, Wu Feng immediately complained to Dugu Han, "I'm speechless. You two came out to play and brought me along too. I ended up listening to that old man spout nonsense for nothing."

"What old man? That's Elder Xuan, a level 98 Super Douluo."

As Ning Tian spoke, he pushed the tea towards her.

"A level 98 Super Douluo?"

"Just him?"

Wu Feng couldn't reconcile Xuan Lao's messy hair, greasy hands, and the chicken leg he was always gnawing on. He just couldn't connect him with a level 98 Super Douluo.

"It really is him!"

Dugu Han instructed the two of them, "Remember, if you need to hunt souls in the future, or go out into the inner courtyard to carry out surveillance missions, be sure to avoid him."

"Why?"

Ning Tian and Wu Feng found it somewhat strange.

Although Elder Xuan's lifestyle was chaotic, he was still a level 98 Super Douluo!
Whether it's hunting souls or anything else, having a level 98 Super Douluo by your side guarantees maximum safety.

"Because Elder Xuan once led a team to hunt souls..."

Dugu Han led Xuan Lao to hunt souls, but Zhang Lexuan and the others encountered a 100,000-year-old soul beast and couldn't find anyone else, so he told them about it.

"what?"

Wu Feng exclaimed in surprise, "He probably didn't do it on purpose, did he? A level 98 Super Douluo, can he really fall asleep from drinking?"

Ning Tian was also surprised that a level 98 Super Douluo leading a Soul Hunting team could still make such a big mistake.

This is too outrageous!

"Never mind the reason, just avoid him."

After Dugu Han finished speaking, he smiled and got up, asking the waiter to serve the dishes.

Ning Tian and Wu Feng exchanged a glance and secretly made up their minds that from now on, they would go directly to the sect to ask for help when hunting souls, and they would never go soul hunting with Elder Xuan.

In the afternoon, the three of them strolled around Shrek City together.

It's worth mentioning that although Wu Feng's sexual orientation wasn't corrected, he wasn't very resistant to Dugu Han and Ning Tian being together.

She believed that Dugu Han, with his exceptional talent in cultivation and unparalleled combat prowess, was more suitable to protect Ning Tian than herself.

However, he was very dissatisfied that Dugu Han was with Zhang Lexuan while he was with Ning Tian.

However, Ning Tian herself didn't say anything, and she could only keep all her dissatisfaction to herself.
