Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 262 Absorbing the Moon Goddess's Legacy Crystal
Dugu Han examined the two inheritance crystals for a moment, then put away the Sun God's inheritance crystal.

His gaze then fell upon the Moon Goddess's inheritance crystal.

"A tangible and substantial spiritual force!"

"The Sea Princess didn't reach it, the Evil Emperor didn't reach it, and even the million-year-old Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm didn't reach it."

"My current mental strength is undoubtedly the strongest on the continent, so it should be enough to withstand the vast memories within this inheritance crystal!"

Dugu Han held the inheritance crystal in his hand, took a deep breath, and slowly placed it between his eyebrows.

The moment the heritage crystal touches the center of the forehead.

Dugu Han felt a vast, star-like spiritual fluctuation explode in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The moonlight patterns flowing on the crystal surface suddenly burst forth at that moment, and thousands of silvery-white rays of light, like liquid moonlight, quickly seeped into his sea of ​​consciousness.

In an instant, a vast amount of memories, like a torrent, suddenly exploded in Dugu Han's sea of ​​consciousness.

A six-year-old girl with exquisitely beautiful features also appeared in Dugu Han's memory.

The girl's name is: Yue!

She is a girl from a human tribe!
This was an era in which humans had not yet established empires, were not yet familiar with the power of Soul Masters, and were still living in a time when the fate of their tribes was threatened by Soul Beasts.

"Yue, you were supposed to awaken your martial soul today, but the chieftain led the priest to exterminate a powerful soul beast, so you'll have to wait for the priest to return, probably tonight!"

"Moon, have you been waiting for a day? I was held back by that ferocious soul beast and returned a little late."

"Moon, you stand on this altar."

"Wow, Yue, you actually awakened the Moon Martial Soul."

The priest stared at the moon in his hand, incredibly excited.

Although in this era when everyone is still ignorant about Soul Masters.

However, the more powerful and rarer the awakened martial soul is, the better; this is already a consensus among everyone!

The Moon Martial Soul, corresponding to the unique moon in the sky, is bound to be an extremely rare martial soul.

……

"The Moon Martial Soul is quite powerful!"

The next day, Yue looked at the moon in her hand.

She didn't know how powerful her Moon Martial Soul was, but ever since she awakened it, the people of her tribe had treated her with great respect. The chieftain and the priest also took great care of her, giving her all the best food and drink.

He also said that she should cultivate according to the method taught by the high priest every day, so that she could improve her internal energy. After a few years, when her internal energy has been improved to the point where it cannot be improved any further, she can then absorb some kind of soul ring!

However, Yue felt that the energy within her body had reached its limit, like a pool that was already full of water and could no longer be filled with fresh water!

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Yue thought for a moment and then went to find the high priest, explaining to him that the energy within her body could no longer be raised.

The priest was also puzzled by this, so he consulted the chief, but the chief was equally baffled.

In their tribe, almost everyone who awakened a martial spirit either lacked that aura within their body, or they cultivated for several years according to the methods of the priestly sect before absorbing a soul ring.

But there has never been a person who, having just awakened their martial soul, was already at the point where they could not advance any further.

After discussing it for a while, the two wondered if it meant that Yue had met the conditions to absorb a soul ring.

"Yue, we'll take you hunting soul beasts tomorrow. Try absorbing a soul ring first and see if you can."

"it is good!"

Yue nodded!
The next day, he followed the chief and the priest out of the tribe.

It was her first time venturing outside the tribe's territory, and she was very curious about everything she saw.

She saw people from other tribes hunting spirit beasts, saw spirit beasts easily kill their attackers, and saw two young men absorbing deep yellow and light purple spirit rings before exploding and dying.

"In the moon, there are three colors of spirit rings: white, yellow, and purple. The stronger the spirit beast was in life, the higher the color of its spirit ring, and the more difficult it is to absorb, making it easy for it to explode and die."

The high priest explained the basics of soul beasts and soul rings to Yue.

Yue listened very attentively.

Soon the chief and the priest brought her to a stop in front of a forest.

"The soul beast we're going to hunt is a silver wolf that only appears at night. It's an extremely powerful soul beast. We'll lure it out tonight and deal with it."

As night fell, the high priest waited outside with Yue, while the chief rushed inside to search for the silver wolf that only appeared at night.

Soon, the chief ran out, followed by a pack of silver wolves.

Upon seeing this, the priest immediately grabbed the moon and ran away.

Then, the second day, the third day...

They kept using this method to try and lure out a silver wolf, but each time the silver wolves appeared in packs.

On the eighth night, the chief went back into the forest to continue his seduction, but unexpectedly encountered a silver wolf that was seriously injured and abandoned by its pack.

He excitedly knocked the silver wolf unconscious, then carried it away.

"Moon, you must kill the spirit ring yourself to absorb it. Otherwise, if we kill it, you won't be able to absorb its spirit ring."

"it is good!"

Yue took the bone dagger handed to her by the chief and plunged it viciously into the silver wolf's eye.

A yellow spirit ring appeared on the silver wolf's body.

"Great! It's a yellow spirit ring, stronger than a white one. Yue, absorb it quickly!"

"it is good!"

Yue sat to the side, following the method taught by the high priest, drawing the soul ring to herself and beginning to absorb it.

By the time she finished absorbing the spirit ring, it was already the morning of the next day!
"I feel that the energy within my body has grown much stronger."

"This is a good thing. When the energy within your body reaches its limit again, you can absorb another soul ring!"

The priest then picked up Yue and returned to the tribe with the chief.

After returning to the tribe, Yue began her cultivation as instructed by the high priest.

But for some reason, her internal energy increased much faster when she cultivated at night than during the day. Cultivating under the moonlight outside was also faster than cultivating indoors.

She didn't understand why, but since the improvement was so rapid, it must be a good thing.

From then on, Yue changed her routine and began to cultivate at night.

Soon, two years passed, and Yue once again felt that the energy within her body could not be increased any further.

She knew it was time for her to absorb another spirit ring!

This time, she absorbed the same yellow spirit ring, but this time the spirit beast was much stronger, so the spirit ring was also a very dark color.

She experienced great pain during the absorption process, but the increase in her internal energy afterward was much greater than the first time.

So Yue thought that next time she would absorb a purple soul ring.

Three years later, Yue once again felt that the energy within her body could not be increased any further.

She found the chieftain and the priest to hunt souls together and successfully obtained a purple soul ring.

Four more years passed, and Yue once again felt that the energy within her body could not be increased any further.

This time, she needs to obtain her fourth spirit ring, and her goal is the most powerful spirit beast in that forest.

For this purpose, they also sought help from the chiefs and priests of several neighboring tribes.

With everyone's combined efforts, at the cost of two priests' deaths, they killed a soul beast that resembled a horse but had wings on its back and a single horn on its head.

As expected, it was a purple spirit ring, but this purple spirit ring was extremely deep, and even had a faint hint of black.

The absorption was extremely painful for Yue; she felt as if her body was about to explode.

Fortunately, she endured it, and her internal energy surged. At the same time, she also obtained a pair of wings that radiated a mystical aura.

Just like the wings on the back of that unicorn spirit beast.

After Yue returned to the tribe, she told the chief about it, but the chief knew nothing about it. Only the priest said that it was a special bone of a soul beast that could be absorbed to enhance one's strength.

That very night, Yue absorbed it, and she gained the ability to fly.

After gaining the ability to fly, Yue was no longer satisfied with staying in the tribe to cultivate every day; the world was vast and she wanted to see it.

Neither the chief nor the priest refused Yue's suggestion to go out and see the world.

With four spirit rings, Yue had one more than the other two, so her strength was naturally far superior, and she already had the ability to protect herself.

And so, Yue left the tribe and began to wander the continent.

Year after year!
As time slowly passed, she encountered many people, saw many spirit beasts, and suffered many injuries, some from spirit beasts and some from humans.

She also witnessed the deaths of many people while absorbing soul rings.

He died after absorbing a deep yellow spirit ring while absorbing his first spirit ring, which exploded.

Some died after absorbing a purple spirit ring while absorbing their second spirit ring, while others died after absorbing a dark purple spirit ring.

One after another, humans died from absorbing spirit rings, allowing Yue to witness the cruelty of this world for the first time.

She couldn't understand why she would die from absorbing a spirit ring even though she had already killed the spirit beast.

But what puzzled her even more was that she saw a black spirit ring for the first time.

Soul rings aren't just white, yellow, and purple; there's also black. That black ring appeared after a powerful soul beast beyond her comprehension was killed by another soul beast.

From a distance, Yue saw the pitch-black soul ring and a bone gleaming with an eerie light.

Knowing that it could be absorbed, she secretly went over and collected it, found a safe place to absorb it, and then continued her travels on the continent.

Year after year has passed.

Yue also got to know one traveler after another, just like her.

They hunted souls together, cultivated together, traveled the continent together, made new friends together, and went to some tribes to teach the knowledge that the first soul ring cannot absorb a deep yellow soul ring.

In this way, Yue's prestige gradually spread, and her strength continued to grow.

Fifth spirit ring!

Sixth spirit ring!

Seventh spirit ring!

With the help of her friends, she absorbed one black spirit ring after another.

The price, however, is the constant deaths of friends in the Soul Hunt.

……

While Dugu Han was absorbing the cultivation memories of the Moon Goddess.

Zhang Lexuan has already fully absorbed the medicinal effects of the 100,000-year-old whale glue.

When she woke up, she saw Dugu Han sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, still seemingly cultivating.

After thinking for a moment, she didn't disturb him, but walked over and gave Dugu Han a light kiss on the forehead with a smile.

They then entered the assessment space and began the sixth test.

Soon, Han Ruoruo also woke up.

Seeing that Dugu Han was cultivating, she didn't disturb him and started cultivating on the spot as well.

Half a day later, Ning Tian also woke up and began to cultivate.

On the other side, Wu Ming and Ma Xiaotao were also cultivating, sitting in a bathtub filled with various precious medicinal herbs.

A month and a half later!

Wu Ming was the first to break through, reaching level 86 in soul power!

Three months later, Han Ruoruo successfully broke through to level 89, only one level away from becoming a Title Douluo.

In the fourth and a half month, Ning Tian also successfully broke through to the first level of soul power and became a level 47 Soul Master.
