Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 213 The Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire Falls into a Coma
"Alright, since everything's alright, let's all go back and get some rest!"

Elder Mu waved to the crowd and then left the Soul Battle Zone first.

Then, the group of senior members, along with the four deans Yan Shaozhe and Ma Xiaotao, exchanged a few words with Ma Xiaotao and left one after another.

For a moment, only Dugu Han, Ma Xiaotao, and Han Ruoruo remained on the field.

"Little uncle!"

Ma Xiaotao walked curiously toward Dugu Han and asked, "Where have you been cultivating all this time? I asked Sister Ruoruo when we were at the Sea God Pavilion, but she wouldn't tell me."

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but that place involves deities, and it's not convenient to talk about it in the Sea God Pavilion," Han Ruoruo explained with a smile.

Dugu Han said upon hearing this, "That's right. I specifically told Ruoruo that we can't discuss matters concerning deities casually in the Sea God Pavilion."

"what?"

"Why?"

Ma Xiaotao's little brain couldn't quite figure it out for a moment.

But before she could think much about it, she suddenly noticed the word "deity" that the two of them were talking about.

"God?"

Ma Xiaotao looked at the two of them in surprise.

"You should know that you have obtained the divine inheritance mark of the God of Fire, right?" Dugu Han asked.

"My teacher told me that as long as I can raise my own attributes to the level of the ultimate, which is the level of my junior uncle's ice attribute, I can unlock the inheritance of the God of Fire's divine position, thereby inheriting the God of Fire's divine position and ascending to godhood."

When Ma Xiaotao spoke of ascending to godhood, her face glowed with excitement.

But at the same time, she was also somewhat insecure.

Because initiating the succession of a divine position does not necessarily mean that one will inherit the divine position 100%.

Her ancestor Ma Hongjun, who lived ten thousand years ago, failed to inherit the position of the God of Fire and eventually had to settle for inheriting the position of the God of Phoenix.

"You don't need to worry about the assessment. The reason why Ma Hongjun failed to inherit the position of the God of Fire ten thousand years ago was largely because his own talent was insufficient to inherit the position of a first-level god."

"You have the qualifications, but you're just lacking in the attributes."

Dugu Han noticed Ma Xiaotao's worry and smiled to comfort her.

In terms of talent, Ma Xiaotao is definitely superior to Ma Hongjun. As long as she can improve her ultimate fire attribute and unlock the inheritance of the Fire God's position, she can definitely inherit the Fire God's position.

"But what does this have to do with the place where you cultivate?"

Ma Xiaotao felt relieved, but she still couldn't quite understand the relationship between Dugu Han and the others' cultivation place and the gods.

"Stupid!"

Han Ruoruo explained, "The place where we cultivate is the place where divine positions are passed down."

"The place where divine positions are passed down?"

Ma Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, then her pupils shrank involuntarily as she looked at the two of them in disbelief: "You've found the place where the divine throne is inherited?"

"At the place where the Moon Goddess's divine position is inherited, Yue Xuan has already begun the divine position inheritance process," Dugu Han said with a smile.

"hiss!"

Ma Xiaotao gasped in shock, exclaiming, "Does that mean that Sister Lexuan will be able to inherit the position of the Moon Goddess soon?"

"It shouldn't be long!"

Dugu Han nodded and said, "We'll stay there and guard her. The spiritual energy there is also very abundant, making it perfect for Soul Masters to cultivate."

"Besides, if you go there, you might be able to pass an assessment that directly increases your soul power by one level, grants you a divinely bestowed soul ring, and increases the age of your soul ring."

As Han Ruoruo spoke, she revealed her spirit rings.

Purple, purple, black, black, black, red!

The reward for the Moon Goddess's assessment is that the age of all spirit rings is increased by four thousand years.

Therefore, her first and second spirit rings changed from yellow hundred-year spirit rings to purple thousand-year spirit rings, and her fourth spirit ring, which was originally over six thousand years old, also changed to a black ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

"As expected of a test from the gods, it can even increase the age of a soul ring."

Ma Xiaotao examined the eight spirit rings that Han Ruoruo displayed, and then asked, "What are divinely bestowed spirit rings?"

"As the name suggests, a soul ring bestowed by the gods can provide you with a soul skill that is most suitable for you, and at the same time, the age of the soul ring can be increased to the limit of your body," Dugu Han explained simply.

"I rely on!"

Ma Xiaotao exclaimed in surprise, "The rewards are so generous! Not only can it increase one level of soul power and the age of the soul ring, but it even includes this kind of divinely bestowed soul ring!"

"So this time I came back to the academy specifically to bring you and Xiaotian there, to see if we can try to get you two to take the exam as well."

Dugu Han smiled and said, "It's already dark, let's go back and rest. We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."

"Row!"

Ma Xiaotao nodded and followed the two out of the Soul Battle Zone, heading towards the inner courtyard.

On the way, she asked some more questions about the assessment.

Upon learning that Dugu Han and Han Ruoruo had received such generous rewards without undergoing any assessment, she was overjoyed.

At the same time, she also learned the reason why Wu Ming failed the test because he was going to inherit the position of the Sun God in the future.

This made Ma Xiaotao even more excited, because after so long of cultivating together and being of the same fire attribute, she and Wu Ming had long since become best friends.

To become a god together with one's best friend and then ascend to the divine realm is undoubtedly a joyous occasion.

The three of them chatted and laughed, and soon entered the inner courtyard.

The three of them soon arrived at Han Ruoruo's dormitory.

"arrive!"

Dugu Han and Han Ruoruo stopped and said to Ma Xiaotao, "We've arrived. You should go back and rest early!"

"Junior Uncle, this is Sister Ruoruo's dormitory," Ma Xiaotao reminded her after glancing at the dormitory.

"I know!"

Dugu Han smiled and reached out to stop Han Ruoruo, walking towards her dormitory.

Ma Xiaotao was left standing there, stunned. She watched the two of them walk into the dormitory together, somewhat incredulous.

How did these two end up together?

Ma Xiaotao blinked, somewhat bewildered.

To be honest, if it were Wu Ming, she wouldn't be surprised at all, because back in the illusion, Wu Ming had already... you know, and she was on top.

But how could it be Han Ruoruo?
And does Zhang Lexuan know about this?

After thinking about it for a while, Ma Xiaotao shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

Why think so much? Let Junior Uncle resolve his emotional debts himself.

Afterwards, Ma Xiaotao walked towards her dormitory.

……

Early the next morning!
Dugu Han and Han Ruoruo went to find Ning Tian first.

Ning Tian had prepared well in advance, and after the two arrived, he followed them to Ma Xiaotao's dormitory.

At this moment, Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier were giving Ma Xiaotao some instructions.

"Xiao Tao, these are treasures that the academy has collected for you recently, which can improve your attributes."

Yan Shaozhe took out a storage soul guide ring and handed it to Ma Xiaotao, saying, "Although these are not rare treasures and the increase in your attributes is not significant, it's better to have something than nothing."

"Take this first. I will ask your grandmaster to urge him to collect some real treasures for you to use. After your battle of souls with your grandmaster today, I believe the elders will no longer object!"

"Thank you, teacher!"

Ma Xiaotao accepted the money without hesitation.

She then bid farewell to her teacher and his wife, and left the academy with Dugu Han and the other two, flying towards Mingdu.

Before heading to the place of inheritance, Dugu Han had to give the half of the Life Gold to his uncle, lest he suddenly receive news of his death while he was cultivating.

Because Ning Tian's cultivation level was only Soul Master, even when using a flying soul tool, his speed was much slower than the three of them.

So Dugu Han carried her as they flew, but the speed was still a bit slower.

It wasn't until noon on the third day that the four of them finally arrived in Mingdu.

After entering Mingdu, the four flew straight to the palace and landed in front of the palace gate.

"Young Master Dugu!"

The guards on both sides of the palace gate recognized Dugu Han and immediately went to greet him.

"I need to speak with my uncle. Please let me know," Dugu Han said with a smile.

"You can go straight in; His Majesty specifically instructed that."

After saying this, the head guard glanced at the three women and added with a smile, "They're fine too. His Majesty instructed that as long as they are people you brought, there is no need to stop them."

"Okay, let's go in!"

Dugu Han smiled and led Han Ruoruo and the other two women inside.

They headed straight for the palace where the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire worked, but there was only one eunuch inside.

"Young Master Dugu!"

Upon seeing Dugu Han, the eunuch immediately stepped forward to pay his respects and said, "His Majesty went to the Hall of Offerings early this morning and has not yet returned."

"The Hall of Offerings!"

Dugu Han raised an eyebrow. Going to the Hall of Offerings so early in the morning, it must be because Kong Deming is about to break through to level 95!

He pondered for a moment, then had the eunuch lead the way toward the Hall of Offerings.

At this time, the main hall of the offering hall was already crowded with people.

Once Kong Deming breaks through to level 95, he will become the first level 10 Soul Master in history, greatly enhancing his influence on the Sun Moon Empire and his deterrent power against enemy countries.

Therefore, whether it was the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, Crown Prince Xu Tianran, Ye Yulin and other worshippers, or the ninth-level soul masters such as Jing Hongchen, they were all here waiting for Kong Deming's breakthrough.

The group waited from dawn until noon.

The Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire's face turned pale from the long wait, and he coughed violently from time to time.

"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."

Suddenly, the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire couldn't help but cough violently again.

"Father, why don't you go back and rest first?"

Xu Tianran looked at his father with concern: "I will send someone to inform you as soon as Elder Kong breaks through."

"fine!"

The Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire shook his head slightly. He glanced at the blood he had coughed up in his palm, rubbed his hands together as if he hadn't seen it, and weakly smiled, "The importance of Elder Kong to my Sun Moon Empire is self-evident, and I should wait here for him."

……

At the same time, Dugu Han and his companions followed the eunuch to the front of the offering hall.

"Young Master Dugu Han, please wait a moment!"

After speaking, the eunuch entered the Hall of Offerings and came to the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire. He whispered, "Your Majesty, Young Master Dugu has arrived. He is outside, along with Miss Han Ruoruo from last time, and two other young ladies."

"Xiaohan is here!"

The emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire paused for a moment, then stood up happily and quickly walked outside.

However, his body was already very weak, and he had been waiting in vain in the offering hall all morning. So, after taking only two steps, his vision went black and his body slumped down.

"His Majesty!"

The eunuch's pupils contracted, and he quickly supported the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire, preventing him from falling to the ground.

"Father!"

Upon seeing this, Xu Tianran quickly moved his wheelchair over.
