Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 256 Ultimate Amplification
"Approaching absolute zero!"

After hearing this answer, both Elder Mu and Ma Xiaotao fell silent.

Absolute zero is a legendary existence, something that humans can never reach.

But they never expected that Dugu Han was only a Martial Soul True Body, and he was already close to absolute zero.

What if he uses other amplifying soul skills on top of his Martial Soul True Body?
"I can also use amplified soul skills again based on my Martial Soul True Body," Dugu Han said with a smile.

"Then let's try it quickly and see if we can really reach absolute zero," Ma Xiaotao said enthusiastically.

"But if I go all out to increase the power, I'm afraid I won't be able to control the chill in my body."

Dugu Han was a little worried, since the closest buildings to the Soul Fighting Zone were the teaching building and the freshman dormitory.

The students in the freshman dormitory have a soul power level of no more than 35.

Faced with his terrifying chill, Soul Masters below level 35 would be frozen into ice sculptures before they could even react.

"Master!"

Ma Xiaotao subconsciously looked at Elder Mu.

"It's okay, go ahead and try!"

Old Mu laughed and said, "My old bones can protect them."

"Then I'll give it a try!"

Dugu Han nodded.

His first, second, and fifth spirit rings lit up simultaneously.

The Ice God's Blessing, Ice Soul Dragon Fist, and Ultimate Ice Amplification—three amplification-type soul skills—simultaneously amplify the user's ice attribute.

Dugu Han's aura surged instantly!

His near-absolute zero attribute was also enhanced once again, quickly surpassing the Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice Cave and reaching a level infinitely close to absolute zero.

At the same time, an incredibly terrifying chill, as if it could freeze everything, immediately emanated from his body.

At this moment, at such close range, even Elder Mu had to exert all his soul power to protect himself.

Ma Xiaotao had no choice but to directly use her Martial Soul to barely resist the chill that was almost at absolute zero.

However, the soul power barrier that Elder Mu had set up shattered instantly under this chilling aura that seemed to freeze everything.

The moment the soul power barrier shattered, all the ice-attribute soul masters in Shrek Academy felt a sudden pang of fear and were jolted awake from their sleep.

Their martial spirits, meanwhile, were trembling incessantly within their bodies.

"How is this going?"

Ling Luochen, in the inner courtyard, sensed the fear emanating from the martial spirit within him, his brows furrowing.

At the same time, another female student with the ice attribute in the inner courtyard also woke up from her sleep.

A teacher from the outer academy, along with dozens of ice-attribute students, were all awakened at this moment.

They sensed the trembling of their martial spirits and were completely baffled.

On the other side, Elder Mu had already flown high into the sky and set up another soul power barrier, doing his best to control the cold air in the Soul Battle Zone from dissipating.

Ma Xiaotao also flew into the sky, looking down at Dugu Han with a shocked expression.

terror!
This chill, so close to absolute zero, is terrifying!

Even as a Soul Master of the Ultimate Fire, she dared not linger below after her Martial Soul was possessed.

It felt as if every second you stayed there, your very soul would be frozen.

"So this is the power when the attribute is about to reach its limit!"

Ma Xiaotao looked down at Dugu Han, her heart filled with horror.

Without using soul power or soul skills, the chill emanating from her body, which was infinitely close to absolute zero, was unbearable for her, a Soul Douluo of the Ultimate Fire level. What about Soul Douluos of other attributes?

Unless a Soul Master has extremely strong resistance to ice attributes, they probably wouldn't even be able to stand up in front of Dugu Han!
Suddenly, the chill in the air seemed to freeze!
Immediately afterwards, the terrifying cold aura emanating from the frost dragon that Dugu Han had transformed into vanished completely.

His towering physique, which was hundreds of meters tall, quickly shrank, and he withdrew from the state of Martial Soul True Body in just a short while.

"Why did you suddenly withdraw from your Martial Soul True Body?"

Ma Xiaotao flew over, somewhat puzzled.

Although Dugu Han had withdrawn from her Martial Soul True Body, the lingering chill in the Battle Soul Zone still made her shiver involuntarily.

However, even without the terrifying chill emanating from Dugu Han, she still experienced a great deal.

"Little uncle!"

Ma Xiaotao came to Dugu Han's side.

"I don't have enough soul power!"

Before she could even ask, Dugu Han spoke first.

"Not enough soul power?"

Ma Xiaotao asked in surprise, "Does activating your Martial Soul True Body consume so much soul power?"

"It's not the true form of a martial spirit!"

At this moment, Elder Mu also landed and explained, "And the subsequent amplification soul skill."

"Yes, the subsequent amplification soul skill instantly drained all my soul power," Dugu Han said with a wry smile.

"how come!"

Ma Xiaotao exclaimed in surprise, "Junior Uncle, your soul power has been compressed, but your soul power reserves are several times that of other Soul Masters of the same level!"

"I don't know why, but suddenly I felt like my soul power was drained!"

Dugu Han looked helplessly at Elder Mu, hoping that his teacher could answer his question.

Ma Xiaotao also looked at Elder Mu, puzzled, and asked, "Grandmaster, what's going on?"

"how to say!"

Elder Mu thought for a moment and explained, "Because of the limit, just like how it becomes more and more difficult to cultivate soul power. Originally, Xiao Han, your Martial Soul True Body had already amplified your ice attribute to near absolute zero."

"But you continued to use your soul skills to amplify yourself, even if it was just from near absolute zero to infinitely close to absolute zero, which is only two words different, but Xiao Tao should feel the terror of it the most." Old Mu looked at Ma Xiao Tao.

Ma Xiaotao immediately nodded and said, "Originally, I could rely on my soul power to circulate throughout my body to resist the cold emanating from Junior Uncle, but when Junior Uncle's ice attribute was infinitely close to absolute zero, even with my martial soul possession, I was unable to stay by Junior Uncle's side for long."

"That's right, near absolute zero and infinitely close to absolute zero, although it's only a difference of two words, the terrifying chill is increased many times over."

Elder Mu explained, "To achieve a multiplied increase, there will inevitably be a multiplied consumption, especially if you are already close to absolute zero and continue to use other methods to amplify your ice attribute, then the consumption will undoubtedly be even more terrifying."

"It has nothing to do with the consumption of using the soul skill itself, but rather the consumption of yourself after using the amplified soul skill."

"I understand!"

Dugu Han nodded.

"What do you understand now!"

Ma Xiaotao was completely confused. How could she understand that?

Old Mu's lips twitched upon hearing this: "You only have talent for cultivation!"

Ma Xiaotao: "..."

"Simply put, the higher the limit, the more soul power is required. For example, in the cultivation of a soul master, the further one progresses, the more difficult it becomes to increase one level of soul power."

Dugu Han smiled and explained to her, "To give you an example, a thousand-year soul ring can increase your soul power by two or three levels when you are at level 20. So when you absorb the same thousand-year soul ring at level 30, you can only increase your soul power by one or two levels."

"When I use amplified soul skills normally, because I am still far from the limit of ice attribute, the consumption of soul power is not large. However, I have just activated my martial soul true form, and the ice attribute is close to absolute zero. Therefore, when I use amplified soul skills again, the consumption of soul power will suddenly increase dramatically."

"That's it!"

Ma Xiaotao understood after hearing this simple and easy-to-understand explanation.

She glanced at Elder Mu with a hint of disdain: "You've taught students your whole life, yet you still can't explain things clearly. Your junior uncle's explanation is much more easy to understand."

"I just didn't expect you to be unable to understand!" Old Mu glanced at her indifferently.

Ma Xiaotao: "..."

Even though Old Mu was right, for some reason she always felt like she had been scolded.

There's a feeling of being disliked.

Old Mu glanced again at the Soul Fighting Zone, which was now completely frozen.

It's estimated that it won't be open for a while!

I should have taken Dugu Han outside!
He shook his head, then took out the silver box containing the dragon girl's bloodline and handed it to Dugu Han, saying, "I have already removed the curse from the bloodline inside for you. You can just absorb it directly."

"Thank you, teacher!"

Dugu Han accepted it with a smile.

"Oh... and me too, I also put in a lot of effort." Ma Xiaotao quickly asked for credit and reward.

"Yes, thank you too!"

Dugu Han smiled, then got up and patted his butt.

"okay!"

Old Master Mu also stood up and said, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest!"

"What should we do here?"

Feeling the lingering chill of terror, Ma Xiaotao worriedly asked, "What if someone accidentally breaks in tomorrow?"

"I will notify someone to temporarily close the Soul Fighting Zone. It will reopen once the chill here has completely dissipated," Elder Mu said.

"That!"

Relieved, Ma Xiaotao followed them outside.

The three of them had just entered the inner courtyard when they bumped into a girl wearing pajamas.

"Ling Luochen!"

After recognizing the person, Ma Xiaotao asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

"It's Xiaotao!"

"And Dugu Han, Elder Mu!"

Ling Luochen's eyes lit up when he saw the two people, and he hurriedly walked towards Elder Mu.

"What's the matter?" Old Mu asked with a smile.

"Mr. Mu!"

Ling Luochen frowned and said, "I don't know why, but I suddenly woke up from my dream and my martial spirit started trembling, as if I had encountered something terrible. There must be something wrong, so I was going to find my teacher to check it out, and I just happened to run into you here."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao immediately looked at Dugu Han with a strange expression.

Dugu Han shrugged. Although it was his fault, it wasn't intentional. He wouldn't take the blame.

"Nothing!"

Elder Mu explained with a smile, "Something just happened in the Soul Battle Zone, just like last time. Your Martial Soul had a problem because of this, but the matter has been perfectly resolved and it won't happen again!"

"I understand!"

Ling Luochen was relieved upon hearing this, and then said, "Elder Mu, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now!"

"Go back and get some rest!"

"Xiao Tao, Dugu Han, I'm going back!"

Ling Luochen waved to Dugu Han again.

"go to bed early!"

After she left, Dugu Han and Ma Xiaotao said goodbye to Elder Mu and then headed to their respective dormitories.

Upon returning to his dormitory, Dugu Han immediately took out the silver box containing the dragon girl's bloodline.

He opened it, revealing a pool of golden blood.

Compared to before, the Dragon Girl's bloodline now possesses an aura of peace and tranquility, as well as a soft halo.
