Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 74 An Unprecedented Third Soul Ring Lasting Ten Thousand Years

"Roar--"

Upon hearing the deafening roar of the dragon, Zhang Lexuan instantly ran to Xiaobai's side and looked at the frozen Dugu Han.

Yan Shaozhe also came over immediately.

Xiao Bai noticed, but ignored him, her eyes fixed on Dugu Han's figure.

Suddenly, Dugu Han opened his eyes.

Then a giant, ice-blue dragon burst forth from his body, breaking through the surrounding ice and roaring to the sky once more.

The enormous dragon roar could be heard for tens of kilometers around.

Yan Shaozhe stared blankly at the ice-blue dragon.

The scales on the ice-blue dragon's body were tightly attached, each one a crystal-clear, ice-blue scale, hard and smooth in texture.

The ice-blue dragon's body was also thick and strong, with extremely clear and smooth muscle lines, and one could feel its terrifying power at a glance.

Its head was broad and square, and its majestic vertical pupils emitted a chilling light. White frost occasionally emanated from its nostrils below the pupils, forming wisps of icy mist around it.

"Has it evolved again?"

Yan Shaozhe stared blankly at Dugu Han's ice-blue dragon martial soul.

He remembered that when Dugu Han's martial soul had just awakened, and he asked Shrek Academy to help him buy the Xuanwu Divine Pill, his martial soul was the Ice Serpent.

After consuming the Xuanwu Divine Pill, it somehow evolved into the Ice Dragon Martial Soul.

In just two years, it has evolved from an Ice Dragon Martial Soul into a true Dragon Martial Soul?

Moreover, judging from its appearance, it is a top-tier dragon-type martial soul.

Yan Shaozhe's mind went blank. In his memory, for a martial soul below the top level to evolve, it either needed to obtain a heaven-defying opportunity or cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo. Moreover, even if one cultivated to the level of a Title Douluo, it was not guaranteed that the martial soul could evolve to the top level.

But Dugu Han is not a Title Douluo, and in just three years, he has evolved his martial soul twice. What kind of heaven-defying opportunity is this?
"Dugu Han, this is the Snow Emperor's token!"

Zhang Lexuan handed her Snow Emperor Token to Dugu Han, then looked at the ice-blue dragon behind him.

The dragon exuded a chilling aura, and she could feel a bone-chilling cold just by getting close.

"Frost Dragon!"

Dugu Han put away the Snow Emperor Token, turned around and looked at his evolved Frost Dragon Martial Soul, and said with satisfaction, "(Pseudo) Ultimate Ice Martial Soul!"

"(Pseudo) Ultimate Ice Martial Soul?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe snapped out of his daze and walked in, puzzled, to examine Dugu Han's Frost Dragon Martial Soul.

The Frost Dragon exuded a bone-chilling cold, which, although it had no effect on him as a Super Douluo, still made him feel cold.

"Ultimate Martial Soul, is there even a concept of (pseudo)ultimate?" Yan Shaozhe frowned.

The number of ultimate martial souls is too rare, even he, as the dean of the Martial Soul Academy, does not know much about them.

"It can be considered to have surpassed ordinary ice elemental martial souls, and is only one step away from the ultimate level!"

As Dugu Han spoke, he looked at Xiao Bai, his eyes filled with both gratitude and exasperation.

He knew that Xiaobai had provided him with the energy of the Ten Thousand Year Mystic Ice Marrow when he needed ice elemental energy, and he was very touched by it.

However, it almost caused his martial soul to truly reach the level of ultimate ice.

However, once it becomes a true ultimate martial soul, the speed at which he increases his soul power will definitely drop sharply.

Even if he absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul ring as his third soul ring, his soul power could only increase by two levels at most.

This is a very unprofitable deal.

Fortunately, he took the initiative to cut off the absorption of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow at the last moment.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing Dugu Han staring at him resentfully, Xiao Bai scratched his head in confusion.

"Because you're good-looking!"

Dugu Han chuckled, amused, but he was genuinely touched that Xiao Bai had so generously offered him the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow to absorb energy.

"The Snow Empress often says that too," Xiao Bai chuckled.

Dugu Han smiled and shook his head, then looked at Yan Shaozhe, who was studying his martial soul, and asked, "Senior brother, have you captured the Abyss Frost Dragon that I asked you to capture?"

"They've caught him, he's right outside!"

Yan Shaozhe looked at Dugu Han seriously and said, "Are you sure you want to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring with your third soul ring?"

Zhang Lexuan also looked at Dugu Han with concern.

Although Dugu Han had previously vowed that he could withstand the energy and soul vibration of a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

But she was still a little worried.

After all, it's a single martial soul with a third spirit ring that lasts for ten thousand years!

unprecedented!

Everyone who tried it ended up dying from their bodies exploding!
"OK!"

Dugu Han gave the two of them a reassuring smile, then took out a piece of ten-thousand-year whale glue from the Ice and Snow Love and handed it to Yan Shaozhe, saying, "My current physical strength is probably enough to absorb more than eight thousand years' worth of whale glue, but I haven't eaten any whale glue yet. As long as I eat this piece of ten-thousand-year whale glue, I can absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring!"

"Then I'll melt it for you!"

Yan Shaozhe took the whale glue, softened it with his own Bright Flame, and then handed it to Dugu Han, saying, "Normally, people need ice water to help them take whale glue, but your martial soul is already (pseudo) Ultimate Ice, so I suppose you don't need it!"

"I'll just get one bucket!"

Dugu Han smiled and took out a bucket of Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King's blood.

He remembered very clearly that even Huo Yuhao's ultimate ice martial soul and the Ice Emperor's torso bones couldn't withstand the effects of the whale glue.

After all, the side effect of this thing is to enhance male virility, regardless of how strong your physical condition is or whether you have the ultimate ice martial soul.

"How come you still have so many?"

Yan Shaozhe stared in astonishment at the large bucket of Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King's blood that Dugu Han had taken out.

"I took more at the time."

Dugu Han then looked at Zhang Lexuan beside him and said, "Excuse me, could you please excuse me for a moment?"

Zhang Lexuan glanced at Dugu Han and went back to her ice house.

After she left, Dugu Han took off his clothes and jumped directly into the ice bucket.

The ice bucket was as tall as a person and filled with the blood of the Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King. As soon as Dugu Han jumped in, a lot of the icy blue blood overflowed.

Yan Shaozhe felt a pang of heartache upon seeing this: "What a pity! You should have taken out a third of it first before jumping in!"

Dugu Han didn't seem to care much about it. After jumping in, he immediately took the softened whale glue and stuffed it into his mouth.

When the whale gelatin first enters the mouth, it has a fishy smell, but that smell quickly turns into a light, refreshing fragrance and then transforms into a warm and comforting current that flows into the lower abdomen.

A warm current gathered in his lower abdomen, then slowly traveled along Dugu Han's eight extraordinary meridians. He felt that his limbs and bones were being nourished and strengthened by this warm current.

But in just a short while, Dugu Han noticed that the heat in his lower abdomen was becoming scalding hot, no longer a simple nourishing sensation. At the same time, an indescribable heat quickly spread throughout his body.

His whole body burned red, and his face flushed an abnormal red. His breathing became rapid and heavy.

“Hot… so hot!”

As Dugu Han sensed the side effects of the whale gel, he took a deep breath and immediately squatted down, burying his head in the ice bucket.

Seeing this, Yan Shaozhe silently withdrew.

He had taken whale gelatin when he was young. The drug had amazing effects, but what surprised him was that even the owner of the (pseudo) Ultimate Ice Martial Soul could not directly resist the side effects of whale gelatin.

Little White glanced at him, then lay down at the cave entrance, yawned, and prepared to sleep.

During this time, it stayed by Dugu Han's side without closing its eyes, and was so sleepy it was practically dying.

"Go to sleep. When you wake up, it'll be time to deal with the Titan Snow Demon King again!"

Little White yawned and slowly fell asleep at the cave entrance.

……

It was late at night!
The effects of the whale gelatin had just worn off.

Dugu Han climbed out of the ice bucket with bloodshot eyes, then took a bucket of clean water from the Ice and Snow Love to wash off the blood of the Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King that had stained his body.

After rinsing himself off, he used his soul power to evaporate the water droplets on his body, looked down at himself, and was quite satisfied.

The aphrodisiac effects of Wannian Whale Glue were somewhat beyond his expectations.

The medicine is incredibly potent!

"But it's actually a good thing!"

Dugu Han seemed to have thought of something, a smile appeared on his lips, and he took out a new set of clothes from the Ice and Snow Romance collection and put them on.

Little White is already asleep at the entrance of the cave!
Dugu Han didn't disturb it and quietly walked away from the side.

Yan Shaozhe was squatting next to the Abyss Frost Dragon, which was more than ten zhang long, studying this top-level dragon-type soul beast.

Shrek Academy also has records of this soul beast, but those are all records in ancient books, which are quite different from what they saw with their own eyes.

"What are you researching, Senior Brother?" Dugu Han asked as he walked over.

"Just doing this for fun since I have nothing else to do!"

Yan Shaozhe smiled, then looked at Dugu Han and became serious: "This is a Prison Frost Dragon that has just broken through the ten-thousand-year limit. It is also the top-level dragon soul beast. A Prison Frost Dragon of the same age is no weaker than an Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon. Are you confident?"

Dugu Han didn't speak, but just smiled and took out the soul power detector from the Ice and Snow Love.

"This is?"

Yan Shaozhe looked at the soul power detector in Dugu Han's hand with some curiosity.

Dugu Han put down the soul power detector and explained, "The soul power detector of the Sun Moon Empire can detect a soul master's age, soul power, innate soul power, physical strength, soul bones, and the maximum number of years a soul ring can be absorbed."

"Has the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools developed to this level?" Yan Shaozhe frowned deeply.

Shrek Academy still uses a method where advanced Soul Masters assess the physical strength of their students and the maximum number of years they can absorb Soul Rings, by testing the Soul Power of lower-level Soul Masters.

"Mine is used exclusively by the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire, so it's quite comprehensive. Ordinary ones can only detect soul power, physical strength, and the maximum lifespan of soul rings."

"However, the development speed of soul tools in the Sun Moon Empire is changing rapidly. They have already developed many civilian soul tools, and the price is very low."

As he spoke, Dugu Han activated the soul power detector and then stepped onto it.

Bone age: 9 years and 1 month!

"Soul Power: Level 30!"

"Innate Soul Power: Full Innate Soul Power!"

Physical Strength: Level 50!

"Soul bone attachment: external soul bone!"

"The maximum age the body can withstand for a spirit ring: 10,500 years!"

Dugu Han listened to the announcements from the soul power detector and fell into deep thought.

His body could withstand an increase of approximately 2,200 years in the maximum lifespan of the spirit ring, and he absorbed the energy of that ten-thousand-year-old whale glue to the maximum extent, so this was within his expectations.

However, the innate full soul power reported during the innate soul power test puzzled him.

After two evolutions of his martial soul and the evolution of his life level, his innate soul power will definitely surpass the innate full soul power!

Is it because the highest level that can be displayed is the innate full soul power?
After pondering for a moment, Dugu Han stopped thinking about it and turned to look at Yan Shaozhe, who was staring silently at the soul power detector, and asked, "What are you thinking about, Senior Brother?"

"I was thinking that if the academy could be equipped with a soul tool that could detect soul power, physical strength, and the maximum age a soul ring can withstand, would it be able to better tap into the students' potential?" Yan Shaozhe pondered.

"The academies of the Sun Moon Empire have been fully implemented!" Dugu Han remarked.

Yan Shaozhe nodded upon hearing this and said, "Then I'll have to tell your senior sister when I get back, and ask her to have the Soul Guidance Institute research this kind of soul power detection device."

"Actually, there's an even simpler way."

"any solution?"

"Acquire a batch of [items] with the Sun and Moon Empire."

Dugu Han put away the soul power detector and looked at Yan Shaozhe seriously, saying, "Senior brother, the Sun Moon Empire has no hostility towards Shrek Academy. My uncle is the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire. He has longed to study at Shrek Academy since he was a child."

"My mother did the same thing before she died, as did my cousin, Crown Prince Xu Tianran, my cousin, Princess Xu Tianzhen, and so many other people from the Sun Moon Empire who wanted to study at Shrek Academy!"

"Senior brother, the Sun Moon Empire has no hostility towards Shrek Academy," Dugu Han said earnestly at the end.

The Sun Moon Empire is militarily strong and its soul tools are developing rapidly. Regardless of whether Xu Tianran comes to power in the future, it will launch a war against the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.

If possible, Dugu Han hopes that Shrek Academy will stop interfering.

"Absorb the spirit ring, I'll go call Le Xuan!"

Yan Shaozhe gave his junior brother a deep look, then got up and went over to call Zhang Lexuan out.

An unprecedented third spirit ring that lasts for ten thousand years; you'll definitely regret missing it if you don't witness it.

Seeing this, Dugu Han said no more. After Zhang Lexuan came out, he directly ended the life of the Abyss Frost Dragon.

Points of black light gathered from the corpse of the Abyssal Frost Dragon, eventually forming a pitch-black soul ring.

Dugu Han sat cross-legged on the ground and began to absorb the soul ring, drawing it to his head.

As soon as the energy of the ten-thousand-year soul ring entered his body, Dugu Han immediately felt a surging power rampaging through his body.

But it didn't cause him any harm, only some slight discomfort.

At the same time, the remnant soul of the Abyss Frost Dragon rushed into his sea of ​​consciousness along with the energy of the soul ring.

But as soon as they entered, they were easily obliterated by Dugu Han's already materialized spiritual power.
