Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 161 Moving Sea Islands

"How about it?"

Tyrannosaurus Douluo asked coldly, "Do your soul tools give you a sense of security?"

"To have a knife to one's throat before even entering the door—I've lived most of my life, and this is truly the first time I've ever seen such hospitality," Elder Wu scoffed.

Elder Ming, Elder Ye, and Tenghuang Douluo all stared coldly at Li He.

Li He waved his hand solemnly, signaling the deputy commander to order someone to put away the activated soul tool.

Five titled Douluo have arrived in person. If they have any ill intentions, his Soul Master Corps will be unable to withstand them no matter what.

"Say it!"

Li He took a deep breath, looked at Dugu Han, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?"

"I'm looking to buy a soul-guided ship from you!"

Dugu Han took out a card with ten million gold soul coins and handed it over: "I want that level eight peak soul guide ship. Here is ten million gold soul coins. Keep the extra for yourself, and ask my uncle to make up the difference if you need less."

"Your uncle?"

Li He frowned as he looked at the gold soul coin card the man handed him and said, "That Dragon Abyss Soul Guide Ship was a special gift from His Majesty. No matter who your uncle is, I cannot sell it to you."

"What a coincidence!"

Dugu Han smiled and said, "The Emperor you speak of is my uncle."

Upon hearing this, Li He immediately raised his head and stared at him in shock.

You're saying His Majesty is your uncle?

"Xiao Han's mother is Princess Qingling of your Sun Moon Empire," Elder Wu reminded her from behind.

"Princess Qingling!"

Li He murmured something, and then he suddenly remembered.

That was their emperor's younger sister, the only princess to marry into the Heavenly Soul Empire, and she passed away more than ten years ago!

"Are you Princess Qingling's child?"

Li He scrutinized Dugu Han with a hint of disbelief in his eyes, after all, she was a princess who had been dead for more than ten years!

"Introduce yourself!"

Dugu Han smiled and said, "My surname is Dugu, and my given name is Han!"

"Dugu Han!"

Li He blurted out the words almost without thinking.

He was familiar with the name because it had just spread a few days ago that the Body Sect had been destroyed because it had offended Dugu Han.

In order to avenge Dugu Han, His Majesty dispatched seven retainers led by Ye Yulin and Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall.

"Are you really Dugu Han?"

Li He looked at Dugu Han with some skepticism, but after glancing at the five Title Douluos behind him, he had no choice but to believe him.

With five titled Douluo behind him, he had no need to impersonate someone else.

Moreover, among the younger generation of Soul Masters, only Dugu Han could so easily gather so many Title Douluos.

Thinking of this, Li He's doubts instantly turned into enthusiasm: "Young Master Dugu, please follow me."

"Let's go!"

Dugu Han led the group inside.

"Your identity is so useful!"

Wu Ming withdrew her martial spirit, took his hand, and laughed.

"What do you think?"

Dugu Han smiled.

He was the mastermind behind the destruction of the Body Sect, in addition to the joint statement issued by the Sun Moon Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

It's hard for any advanced Soul Master not to know his name.

The group followed Li He into the camp. It was their first time seeing the Soul Master Corps of the Sun Moon Empire, and they were all greatly shocked.

Various types of soul-guided projectiles, various types of soul-guided rays, as well as combined soul-guided arrays and giant soul-guided turrets, high-altitude detection soul-guided devices and mental protective barriers...

Each and every one of them was something that everyone was seeing for the first time.

When Wu Ming saw a fixed-mount soul-guided turret with a barrel the size of a millstone, and the fixed-mount soul-guided shells that the soldiers next to it were wiping, he felt an even greater sense of crisis.

The sense of threat was small, but it was incredibly real.

"The Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided devices are developing so rapidly, I feel like their giant cannons could pose a threat to me now!"

Wu Ming said in surprise.

“That’s a level 8 peak fixed-position soul-guided cannon. Even ordinary titled Douluo can’t withstand it. Although you are an ultimate fire soul master and have a 100,000-year eighth soul ring, and your combat power can rival that of a titled Douluo, you are not a true titled Douluo after all.”

Upon hearing her words, Li He turned around and explained with a smile.

This woman is not only a Soul Master of Ultimate Fire, but also has a 100,000-year eighth Soul Ring. She is also always holding Dugu Han's hand. She must be their Emperor's niece-in-law. They must serve her well!
"But I feel there is only one threat, but it's not a big one."

Wu Ming calculated that if it was just a single soul-guided cannonball, he should be able to block it with his various enhanced defensive soul skills and his upgraded ultimate fire attribute.

"Not a big threat?"

Li He glanced at her in surprise, but did not refute her.

Soul Masters with exceptional attributes are still too rare, making it difficult to test the effectiveness of fixed-position soul-guided cannons against them.

Soon, Li He led everyone through the camp and arrived at the harbor where dozens of soul guide ships were docked.

A cold wind swept across the sea, and dozens of soul-guided ships, like steel behemoths, anchored on the deep blue, icy sea.

Among them were ten level-six soul-guided ships with long, slender hulls and streamlined silver-gray shells engraved with cold patterns. Twelve sets of rotating soul-guided cannons extended from both sides of the ship, their muzzles spewing out pale blue energy, which shone brightly in contrast to the cold light reflected on the sea surface.

Seven even more imposing level-seven soul guide ships were anchored nearby.

The prow of the Level 7 Soul Guidance Ship is carved with the head of a wave-swallowing whale. Three layers of energy matrix towers stand on the deck, with golden patterns flowing around the towers as if they were alive. On both sides of the ship, there are huge Soul Guidance Cannons with twenty sets of cannon muzzles each.

Everyone was deeply shocked as they looked at the enormous ships.

Li He introduced the Level 6 and Level 7 Soul Guidance Ships to everyone one by one.

Dugu Han listened quietly to his introduction, and only asked after he finished: "What I need is an eighth-level soul guide ship, which is the Dragon Abyss Soul Guide Ship you mentioned. Where is it?"

"Here I am!"

Li He took out a small, five-story boat, about the size of a palm, from his storage soul tool. "So small?"

Tyrannosaurus Douluo frowned: "You're not playing us, are you?"

Elder Wu and the others stared in astonishment at the tiny boat, no bigger than a palm.

"It's space shrinking technology!"

Dugu Han offered an explanation for Li He.

"Young Master Dugu has excellent eyesight!"

Li He praised it and explained to everyone, "This Dragon Abyss Soul Guidance Device was personally made by Elder Kong, the head of our Hall of Worship, twenty years ago. It is a peak level eight soul guidance ship. As long as soul power is input, it can be restored to its original state."

After he finished speaking, he walked to the middle of the level 6 and 7 soul guide ships, where there was a large area of ​​empty sea.

Li He channeled his soul power into the palm-sized boat in his hand and tossed it toward the empty sea.

The tiny boat, no bigger than a palm, had barely touched the surface of the sea when it suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light.

The icy seawater was as if it had been lifted up by an invisible giant hand, instantly transforming into two icy blue curtains of water that shot into the sky on both sides.

The small boat, originally no bigger than the palm of your hand, was instantly transformed into a majestic and magnificent behemoth.

The Dragon Abyss Soul Guide Ship is nearly 300 meters long, with a deep blue luster flowing across its surface. A lifelike dragon head is carved on the bow, with blood-red eyes and a ghostly blue light emanating from its mouth.

On both sides of the ship's hull, there were densely packed soul-guided cannons, their barrels gleaming with a cold metallic luster, slowly adjusting their angles.

"Is this still a ship? It's more like a moving island at sea!"

Everyone stared in awe at the giant ship.

Dugu Han was also very surprised. He did not expect that the Dragon Abyss Soul Guidance Ship could be so big.

With a hull nearly 300 meters long, how much soul power would be needed to propel it?
"You don't need to worry about the soul power."

Li He seemed to have seen through Dugu Han's worries and explained, "Our division has dedicated logistics soul masters to operate this soul guide ship. There are a total of forty-two soul emperors. With the help of soul guide milk bottles, they can sail continuously for twenty-four hours a day."

"How long will it take you?"

Li He hesitated and said, "If it's for a short time, I can lend them to you."

"uncertain!"

Dugu Han gently shook his head: "I'm doing this for Soul Hunting, and the timing is uncertain."

"Hunting souls?"

Li He stared at him, dumbfounded.

You're hunting souls with five Title Douluos and one Soul Douluo with Ultimate Flame?
Is this lineup going to hunt down a 100,000-year-old soul beast?

"I want to hunt down a 100,000-year-old mermaid to use as my soul ring."

Dugu Han pondered for a moment and asked, "As the division commander who is resisting the sea spirit beasts, do you have a way to attract the 100,000-year-old mermaid to show herself?"

"You really want to hunt down a 100,000-year-old soul beast?!"

Li He stared at him in shock.

Although he couldn't sense Dugu Han's soul power level, judging from Dugu Han's appearance, he was just a young man, and his soul power at most was only Soul King or Soul Emperor.

Can this absorb a 100,000-year-old soul ring?
"Is there any way?"

Dugu Han nodded and asked.

"There is a way."

After regaining his senses, Li He hesitated for a moment before saying, "If you want to attract mermaids, you can try singing. Mermaids love beautiful songs."

"Sing?"

Elder Wu and the others exchanged glances, their gazes settling on Dugu Han and Wu Ming.

They're a bunch of old men, they definitely can't sing.

This is something that young people should handle.

"Don't look at me, I can't do it either!"

Wu Ming quickly shook her head. She sang terribly and didn't want to sing at all!

"I know someone who sings very well. She's an auctioneer at our Dongyang City auction house. She just arrived three years ago. It's said that her singing voice has attracted mermaids. But do you really want to hunt down a 100,000-year-old mermaid?"

At this moment, Li He said worriedly, "The far north ice sea is the territory of the mermaid clan, and their clan leader, the Sea Princess, is a real ferocious beast that has lived for 600,000 years. In this far north ice sea, her spiritual power is no less than that of the Evil Emperor."

"No matter what you do, you always have to take risks."

Dugu Han said, "Moreover, we caught the 100,000-year-old mermaid and ran away. We will not stay in the icy sea for long. We will also absorb the soul ring after we reach the shore."

"I can rest assured that!"

Li He breathed a sigh of relief. Dugu Han entered the Ice Sea from his place. If Dugu Han had encountered the Sea Princess and something went wrong, the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire would definitely not forgive him.

"Here is one million gold soul coins!"

Dugu Han took out another Soul Coin card and said, "I won't buy the Soul Guidance Ship. Lend it to me for a while, along with the logistics Soul Master. Also, help me find that person who can attract mermaids."

"no problem!"

Li He accepted the Gold Soul Coin Card with both hands.

One million gold soul coins, practically free.

"She's at the auction house just three kilometers away. I'm going to find her right now!"

Li He smiled and flew out of the camp.

Dugu Han and the others took advantage of this time to jump onto the Dragon Abyss Soul Guidance Ship.

"It's almost no different from being on land."

Wu Ming walked back and forth on the deck, and felt no swaying at all. The entire ship was very stable, and the feeling of walking back and forth was exactly the same as on land.

"A level eight peak soul tool, if it doesn't have this effect, then it's not worthy of the level eight."

Dugu Han walked over with a smile.

Elder Wu and the others also looked around the ship with great curiosity.

Although they were titled Douluo, they were land-based Soul Masters and had never hunted Souls at sea before. This was also the first time they had ever seen a Soul Guidance Ship, especially one that resembled a small island.

Just as everyone was examining the soul-guided ship, Li He returned to the harbor with a mature-looking woman.

Then he brought the woman to the crowd and introduced her, "She is Liu Ruyan, an auctioneer who came to our Dongyang City from Mingdu three years ago."
