Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 191 Extreme Compression
Dugu Han controlled the vortex to rotate rapidly, and his soul power continued to flow into it.

Although soul power kept pouring in, the vortex did not expand; instead, it continued to increase its rotation speed and become more solid.

Furthermore, as the rotation speed increased, the gaseous soul power collided and rubbed against each other during the high-speed rotation, bursting out with a piercing shriek, and showing a faint tendency to spread outward.

Dugu Han calmly looked at the vortex of energy in his hand that seemed to be spreading, his five fingers slightly clenched.

The cyclone, which had been trying to spread, immediately stabilized and began to rotate even faster.

As the cyclone rotated rapidly, the sharp whistling sound produced by the violent collision of gaseous soul power gradually turned into a soft humming sound.

The originally transparent surface of the airflow gradually developed a silk-like luster, and the luster attracted each other as it rotated, turning into shimmering bands of light.

In the blink of an eye, the light bands intertwined and merged, layer upon layer like silkworms spinning silk, and finally, following the rapid rotation of the vortex, fell into Dugu Han's palm, condensing into a clear and viscous liquid.

The liquid is milky white; it is liquid soul power formed by high-speed rotation and compression of gaseous soul power.

Dugu Han absorbed the liquid soul power into his body, and then injected the gaseous soul power in his body back into the vortex in his palm, and began to compress and transform it through high-speed rotation.

"Why does he look so relaxed?"

Looking at the indifferent expression on Dugu Han's face, Wu Ming glanced bitterly at Han Ruoruo beside her, slumped over, and fell onto her, unable to help but sigh.

"It's true that different people have different fates. I remember it took a lot of effort to convert my gaseous soul power into liquid soul power!"

"Who isn't!"

Han Ruoruo smiled, glancing at Wu Ming's prominent chest with a curious look in her eyes.

How can this thing grow so big? It's like a cow.

"Did you eat something behind my and Lexuan's back?"

Han Ruoruo couldn't help but ask a question.

Wu Ming asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

"This thing!"

"How did it grow so big?"

As Han Ruoruo spoke, she reached out and pinched him.

It's so soft and delicate, no wonder Dugu Han likes it.

"Are you sick!"

With a 'smack', Wu Ming immediately slapped her hand away from her chest, giving her an annoyed glare: "This is Dugu Han's personal item. If you damage it, can you afford to pay for it?"

"I'll pay you back my head!"

Han Ruoruo found it amusing but couldn't help asking out of curiosity, "But what did you eat?"

"I didn't eat anything!"

Wu Ming glanced at her chest, puffed it out proudly, and said, "I was born with it, you little steamed buns can't envy that."

"Envious of you my foot!"

A dark line appeared on Han Ruoruo's face.

You damn Wu Ming, all you ever talk about is xiaolongbao (soup dumplings). Did you eat xiaolongbao from your place?!

At this moment, Dugu Han heard the two women's conversation, turned to look at Han Ruoruo, and said with a smile, "Sister Ruoruo, don't pay attention to her. The more you pay attention to her, the smuger she will become."

"You can still talk?"

Wu Ming looked at Dugu Han, who had interrupted, with a surprised expression.

How can you compress gaseous soul power into liquid soul power and still have time to talk to them?

Is it so easy?

Han Ruoruo also looked at Dugu Han in surprise.

"Of course you can!"

Dugu Han smiled and explained, "I am different from you. My spiritual power is far superior to yours back then, and so is my control over soul power."

"Then don't say anything, just focus on converting your soul power."

Han Ruoruo instructed, while patting Wu Ming, who was leaning against her, to sit up straight and not disturb Dugu Han.

"You said something too!"

Wu Ming pursed her lips and then said nothing more.

"This is just a conversion from gaseous soul power to liquid soul power, there's no need to be so nervous."

Dugu Han smiled at the two women, then increased the conversion of gaseous soul power into liquid soul power.

The speed at which the cyclone in his hand spun instantly increased dramatically.

With his current mental strength, it is not difficult for him to control the transformation of gaseous soul power into liquid soul power, or even the transformation of liquid soul power into solid soul power, including the condensation of solid soul power into a soul core.

The real challenge lies in maintaining stability after the soul core has been successfully condensed.

Two hours passed quickly!

Dugu Han's gaseous soul power had been completely transformed into liquid soul power. The vortex of energy that was constantly spinning at high speed in his hand had also changed from the initial airflow to a milky white soul power vortex that looked like a solid emulsion.

The vortex of soul power did not stop after Dugu Han's gaseous soul power was completely converted into liquid soul power. Instead, its rotation speed increased dramatically, and it continued to spin rapidly.

As the milky-white vortex of soul power spun rapidly, fine ripples appeared on its surface, and it began to tremble violently like boiling mercury, showing faint signs of trying to break free from Dugu Han's grasp.

Dugu Han looked at the vortex of liquid soul power in his palm with surprise.

The compression of liquid soul power was more difficult to control than he had imagined.

However, this shouldn't cause him too much trouble.

Dugu Han stared intently at the vortex of soul power in his hand, his control over it reaching a new level. The vortex, which had initially shown signs of trying to break free, vanished instantly. At the same time, its rotation speed continued to increase.

Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming watched intently as Dugu Han's liquid soul power transformed into solid soul power.

This is a process they will inevitably go through when they break through level 90.

Spin, spin, spin even faster!

The vortex of soul power spun faster and faster...

Meanwhile, Dugu Han's liquid soul power was also violently colliding with the surrounding forces within the soul power vortex, constantly colliding, merging, and compressing...

As time passed, gradually, tiny specks of light began to emerge from the edge of the soul power vortex, like dewdrops condensing on lotus leaves in the early morning, refracting into fragmented rainbow light as the soul power flowed.

"Solid soul power particles!"

Wu Ming stared in astonishment at the edge of the soul power vortex, at the faint light produced by the continuous collision, fusion, and compression of the liquid soul power.

These are particles formed from solidified soul power.

"Shh!"

Hearing her exclamation, Han Ruoruo quickly patted her, signaling her not to make a sound and disturb Dugu Han at this time.

Wu Ming also snapped out of her shock and quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from accidentally speaking and disturbing Dugu Han again.

Then she glanced at Dugu Han again and saw that Dugu Han's gaze was calm as he stared at the vortex of soul power, without any sign of strain. Admiration welled up in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a silly smile.

No wonder he's Wu Ming's man!
Dugu Han clenched his fists slightly, focusing intently on controlling the vortex of soul power in his hand.

The faint light at the edge of the soul power vortex began to gather continuously, like stardust being drawn by invisible threads, and settled orderly toward the center of the vortex.

When those tiny specks of light sank to the very bottom of the soul power vortex, the vortex seemed to have a foundation, and its rotation speed suddenly increased.

Before long, the rotation speed of the soul power vortex had exceeded the limit of what the naked eye could perceive, transforming into a hazy halo. Within it, the liquid soul power, like a compressed galaxy, began to undergo a qualitative change during its extreme rotation.

First, scattered particles of solid soul energy flickered deep within the halo, like phosphorescent flames leaping in the deep sea. Then, more and more liquid soul energy collided, fused, and compressed together...

This has led to the emergence of more and more solid particles.

Just as when gaseous soul power is transformed into liquid soul power, Dugu Han absorbs it into his body while continuously transferring the liquid soul power within his body into the soul power vortex.

Compared to the conversion of gaseous soul power into liquid soul power, the conversion of liquid soul power into solid soul power is much slower.

It took Dugu Han a full five hours to convert all the soul power in his body into solid soul power.

But that's not all. For the solid soul power particles to condense into a soul core, they need to be compressed again.

Dugu Han stared intently at the vortex in his hand, which had completely transformed into solidified soul power particles. Immediately, a vast amount of spiritual power emanated from his sea of ​​consciousness, enveloping the solidified soul power vortex.

He stared intently at the swirling solid soul energy particles in his hand, slowly controlling them to compress, rotate, and rotate...

Soon, under his control, the solidified vortex of soul power particles shrank by half in size, from the size of a palm to the size of a small fist.

"not enough!"

Dugu Han murmured something, then once again controlled the solid soul power particle vortex to spin rapidly, compress, spin, and compress again...

In a short while, the solid soul power particle vortex shrank by half again, becoming only the size of a pebble.

But that's not enough, it's far from enough!

Dugu Han held his breath and focused intently on continuing to compress the vortex of solid soul power particles, which were only the size of pebbles.

Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming sat beside him, intently watching the vortex of solid soul power particles, originally the size of a palm, continuously compress. They didn't dare to breathe too loudly, for fear of disturbing Dugu Han.

Gradually, the vortex of solid soul power particles, the size of pebbles, was compressed again to the size of cherries.

Then, through continuous rotation and compression, its volume was compressed again to the size of a soybean.

At this moment, it was no longer a solid soul power particle, but had become a real solid soul power, taking the shape of a small funnel and spinning extremely fast under Dugu Han's control.

"It's done!"

Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming's eyes lit up when they saw that the soul power was only in the shape of a funnel.

Next, all you need to do is inject all the soul power in your body into it, convert it into real solid soul power, and then form a soul core!
"Just a little bit more, just a little bit more!"

Dugu Han had much higher standards for himself than ordinary people; he wanted to further compress the solidified soul power that he had formed.

He took a deep breath and once again exerted all his strength to control the funnel-shaped solid soul power, continuing to compress it.

"Dugu..."

The two women looked at the continuously compressing solid soul power with surprise, then looked at Dugu Han and subconsciously opened their mouths.

But instantly, both women covered their mouths in unison.

At such a crucial moment, the worst thing you can do is be disturbed.

As compression continued, the tiny funnel, about the size of a soybean, gradually shrank in size again, and the breath became increasingly faint.

Dugu Han continuously used his mental power to stabilize it, while also providing new momentum for its rapid rotation.

Soon, the small funnel slowly grew smaller and smaller, until it became only the size of a mung bean, and then, with continued compression, it became the size of a wheat kernel.

The breath emanating from the tiny funnel, about the size of a wheat kernel, was so faint it was almost imperceptible, and it was on the verge of collapse.

"We've reached our limit!"

Dugu Han's immense spiritual power was constantly observing the solid soul power funnel he had condensed. Seeing that it had reached its limit, he stopped compressing it and instead poured his own soul power into it.

After the small funnel, about the size of a wheat kernel, absorbed Dugu Han's soul power, it trembled slightly, and then suddenly emitted a suction force, rapidly devouring the soul power that Dugu Han had transferred to it.

As it absorbed this soul power, its rotation speed increased again, and a huge suction force emanated from its body. It began to devour the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth like a whale swallowing its prey.
