Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 169 Mental Power Surges Again

Liya's golden bloodline gives her spiritual power far exceeding that of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and the spiritual power contained in her 100,000-year-old spiritual head bone also far exceeds the 100,000-year age limit.

It is even comparable to a typical 300,000-year-old head bone.

As soon as Dugu Han touched the spirit bone between his eyebrows, the radiant spirit bone instantly burst forth with a dazzling golden light.

The air in the room froze instantly.

A surge of immense spiritual power, like a flood bursting its banks, rushed wildly from the spiritual core of Dugu Han's head, flowing into his spiritual sea from between his brows.

Dugu Han's originally calm mental sea was completely turned upside down as this massive mental power surged in. The icy blue mental power in his mental sea was thoroughly stirred up, turning into surging waves that surged endlessly.

Golden ripples slowly spread across the icy blue surface of the spiritual sea.

The scope of the Sea of ​​Spirit, along with the infusion of this immense spiritual power, began to expand outward continuously.

While Dugu Han was absorbing the 100,000-year-old spiritual head bone!
At this moment, Regent, from the far north, also arrived at the sea area near the far north and found the sea princess guarding this place.

Princess Hai was furious upon learning of Liya's death and immediately led her people who were guarding the area, along with Lijing, to Dongyang City.

With her 600,000 years of cultivation leading the way, even with her clansmen, she only took one day to cross the entire far northern ice sea and arrive at Dongyang City.

She wanted to use the unique connection of the mermaid clan to try and sense Liya's soul after her death in order to avenge her.

However, this perception is only useful within a range of 100 kilometers.

Dugu Han had already arrived in Mingdu. The vast distance made it impossible for her to perceive it.

The sea princess was furious and wanted to take her anger out on the humans of Dongyang City.

However, Elder Wu and the others, who had sensed her arrival, immediately stepped forward to stop her.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Yulin and several other retainers arrived in Dongyang City from Mingdu.

In the icy sea, the Sea Princess is a ferocious beast that can make even a Limit Douluo retreat, but her strength is greatly reduced on land.

Facing the combined attack of five titled Douluo led by Elder Wu and Ye Yulin, they couldn't gain the upper hand at all.

Her clansmen, facing Li He's Soul Master Corps and Ye Yulin's several Level 9 Soul Masters, were at a complete disadvantage.

Seeing her people dying one after another, the sea princess was furious, but there was nothing she could do.

Wu Lao and the others stayed on the shore to fight, and did not go into the sea at all. Even when she pretended to be injured and defeated and retreated to the icy sea, they pretended not to see it and did not pursue her at all.

……

Two nights later, news spread throughout the Sun Moon Empire that Dongyang City had been attacked by sea spirit beasts but had been successfully repelled by the Empire.

At the same time, Dugu Han's absorption of the 100,000-year-old spiritual head bone was also coming to an end.

His icy blue mental sea has now turned into a golden ocean, and its ever-expanding range has stopped, now half again the size it was before.

The range of mental perception was also increased.

The moment the power of the soul bone was completely absorbed, Dugu Han's body shone with golden light, and a dazzling golden light flashed in his slowly opening eyes.

"My soul power has increased by one and a half levels, breaking through to level sixty-four and a half!"

Dugu Han sensed his own soul power and was not surprised. Compared to soul power, he was more concerned about the improvement of his mental power.

"I wonder how far my current mental perception can reach?"

After muttering to himself, Dugu Han had a thought, and an invisible giant net spread wildly outward from him.

1,000 meters... 2,000 meters... 3,000 meters... 3,500 meters...

It only stopped after traveling four kilometers.

Everything within those four kilometers—the chirping of insects, the falling of leaves, even the faint heartbeats of small insects—was transmitted to his senses with unparalleled clarity.

Only the room next door where Wu Ming lived was isolated from Dugu Han's perception by her own mental power.

"what!"

Dugu Han was a little puzzled by what she was doing. He withdrew his outward-released spiritual power and condensed it into a spiritual avatar, which easily passed through the wall.

At the same time, without alerting Wu Ming, it passed through the spiritual energy that enveloped the room.

Wu Ming is taking a bath in the tub.

Dugu Han stared blankly at Wu Ming, who was completely oblivious to him and busy washing herself.

Big, very big!

He had to admit that Wu Ming's chest was much larger than Zhang Lexuan's.

After regaining his senses, Dugu Han saw that Wu Ming hadn't noticed him yet, so he smiled and took a few steps forward: "Need help scrubbing my back?"

"Ok?"

Wu Ming suddenly heard the familiar voice pause for a moment, then quickly reached out to protect her upper body, looked up at the illusory Dugu Han and said in shame and anger, "Are you trying to get yourself killed? You came in without saying a word."

"I just finished absorbing the soul bone, and my mental power surged. I sensed that you used your mental power to shield the room, so I came in out of curiosity."

As Dugu Han spoke, his gaze pierced through the water's surface and locked onto a patch of black below.

"You still watch!"

Wu Ming noticed his gaze and quickly reached out to protect him underwater.

But the upper part, as she let go, was tremblingly exposed to Dugu Han's gaze.

"It looks good, I love watching it!"

Dugu Han said with a smile.

"Get out of here!"

Wu Ming, embarrassed and annoyed, raised her hand and splashed a handful of bathwater at him, but Dugu Han was currently in a spiritual form, and the bathwater passed right through him and splashed onto the ground.

On the contrary, it was her splashing water that exposed her entire body to Dugu Han's view.

Dugu Han stared at her snow-white body, finding it almost unbearable, and quickly dispersed his spiritual avatar, withdrawing his spiritual power back to his physical body.

He then walked out of his room.

It was already night outside, a dark and windy night!
Dugu Han arrived at Wu Ming's room, pushed open the door, and went inside.

"What...what are you doing here?"

Wu Ming was still soaking in the bathtub when she saw him suddenly enter, and not in his previous spiritual form. She immediately became nervous, and a blush appeared on her face, as if she had thought of something.

"Let me scrub your back!"

Dugu Han smiled and walked over to pick her up from the bathtub, then carried her to the bed next to him.

……

Early the next morning!
Wu Ming woke up first. She leaned on Dugu Han's shoulder, looked at his profile, and couldn't resist giving him a gentle kiss. "You're awake!"

Dugu Han felt the wet touch on his face and opened his eyes with a smile.

"woke up!"

Wu Ming leaned against his chest, listening to the strong heartbeat in his chest, and said, "News has come from Dongyang City. Just the day before yesterday, the Sea Princess appeared and attacked Dongyang City."

"However, because Li He evacuated the civilians on the shore early on, and with the help of Elder Wu and the ninth-level soul master sent by my uncle, there were only many economic losses, and the civilians did not suffer any casualties."

"That's good!"

Dugu Han nodded. Economic losses could be compensated; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was not short of money, as long as no civilians died because of him.

"correct!"

Wu Ming turned around, looked at him sideways, and asked, "What level is your soul power after absorbing the soul bone?"

"Level 64 and a half!"

"Once I return to the academy to condense my soul core, and with you and Xiaotao training together, I estimate I can break through to level 65 in two or three months at most!"

As Dugu Han spoke, he reached out and gently stroked Wu Mingxue's fair and smooth body.

Wu Ming swatted away his mischievous hand and asked, "What about soul skills? What kind of soul skills does a top-tier 100,000-year-old spiritual-type soul beast with golden bloodline provide?"

"Mental attack soul skill, perfectly makes up for my lack of mental attack methods."

Thinking about the four new soul skills he had acquired, Dugu Han smiled and said, "The two soul skills provided by the 100,000-year soul ring are the mental soul skills: Mental Shield, which can concentrate mental power to resist the upcoming attack."

"The other is a mental attack soul skill: Mental Pierce. It gathers one's own mental power to attack the enemy. With my current mental power, even a Title Douluo would be mentally shaken and dizzy when faced with the mental impact of all my mental power."

"And soul masters below the title of Douluo, when faced with my mental penetration, had their mental sea shattered on the spot, turning them into idiots."

After hearing the introduction of his soul skill, Wu Ming exclaimed in shock, "It's so powerful!"

"It's alright, mainly because my mental strength is strong enough."

Dugu Han smiled and then said, "The 100,000-year-old spiritual head bone also provides two soul skills. One active skill is mental control, which can split into countless threads condensed from mental power to control enemies."

"The other is a passive skill called: Mental Barrier."

"This passive skill is mainly for protecting my spiritual sea."

Dugu Han smiled after he finished speaking.

Of the four soul skills, he was most satisfied with the spiritual barrier that protected his spiritual sea.

With this passive skill, he can now ignore attacks from spirit-type soul masters as long as their spiritual power does not exceed his.

Among all the human soul masters on the continent, only the Limit Douluo could surpass him in mental strength.

However, there are only a handful of Limit Douluo in the entire continent, one of whom is Dugu Han's teacher.

"As expected of a 100,000-year-old mermaid with golden blood!"

Wu Ming's tone was full of envy.

Mental defense skills are very rare, and a defensive soul skill that can protect the sea of ​​the mind, especially a passive defensive soul skill, is absolutely a divine skill!
After all, mental attacks are incredibly unpredictable. Often, when facing a mental-type Soul Master, you won't even be able to detect them, and you might already be hit before you even have a chance to use a defensive Soul Skill!

A passive mental barrier can perfectly solve this problem.

"Then why would we go through all this trouble to capture her!"

Dugu Han smiled, then lifted the covers, sat up and dressed, saying, "Get up quickly, I'll take you to meet your cousin and the others."

"Let me collect the sheets first!"

Wu Ming got up and, without even putting on clothes, started folding the bed sheets.

There are tiny specks of blood on it!
After Dugu Han finished dressing, he stood beside her waiting for her to fold the bed sheet and put it into her storage soul tool.

After she finished dressing, the two of them went out together.

Dugu Han first took her to the palace to meet his uncle, and then took her to meet Xu Tianran.

The Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire had already informed Xu Tianran that he might be able to regrow his legs.

Therefore, Xu Tianran was very excited to see Dugu Han coming.

He sat in his wheelchair, waved away the servants, and looked at Dugu Han excitedly, asking, "Xiao Han, can you really help me grow my legs back?"

"Yes, but it will take time!"

Dugu Han gave Xu Tianran an affirmative answer.

"I can wait!"

Xu Tianran was mentally prepared; his father had already told him!
We need to wait ten years until the great battle that Dugu Han mentioned ends.

Although he didn't know what the great battle was, he could wait.

"As long as we can wait!"

Dugu Han smiled and then introduced Wu Ming to him, saying, "This is Wu Ming, one of my girlfriends."

"cousin!"

Wu Ming greeted him politely!
"Hello, brothers and sisters!"

Xu Tianran smiled and nodded.

His father had already told him about Wu Ming's identity!
A Soul Douluo who has reached level 85 in his early twenties will undoubtedly become a level 99 Limit Douluo in the future.

There is another woman in her twenties, Zhang Lexuan, whose combat power is already comparable to that of a Title Douluo. She went to the Body Sect with Dugu Han and is also destined to become a Limit Douluo at level ninety-nine in the future.

And Ning Tian, ​​the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, whose martial soul has evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

This made Xu Tianran look at Dugu Han with envy and say, "Xiao Han, I'm so envious of you!"

"Cousin, you're joking!"

Dugu Han smiled, chatted with Xu Tianran for a while, and then left with Wu Ming.

Then he went to see the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, and his only cousin, Xu Tianzhen.

Perhaps because one possessed the Golden Crow Martial Soul and the other the Sun Martial Soul, the two women hit it off immediately. After exchanging only a few words upon meeting, they agreed to go shopping together.

While the group was shopping!

Xiao Xiao from Shrek Academy also broke through to level 30 in soul power, and together with several senior students who had broken through to level 40 in soul power, they entered the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt souls.

Because Elder Xuan went to hunt down the savior of the gods, the leader of this soul-hunting team is Cai Meier, the vice dean of the Martial Soul Academy!
Following Dugu Han's instructions, Ma Xiaotao and Han Ruoruo also went along.
