Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 75 The Heaven-Defying Third Soul Skill
The next morning!

The sky in the far north was just beginning to lighten.

Yan Shaozhe and Zhang Lexuan didn't sleep all night, their eyes fixed on Dugu Han, who was absorbing the ten-thousand-year soul ring, their gazes full of confusion.

"Le Xuan!"

Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but look at Zhang Lexuan beside him and ask, "I remember your third spirit ring is 3,900 years old, right?"

"I barely absorbed it after eating a piece of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue; I almost exploded and died!"

Zhang Lexuan nodded, her gaze towards Dugu Han becoming even stranger!

Dugu Han's state of absorbing the ten-thousand-year soul ring was too stable, so stable that it was as if he was absorbing a hundred-year soul ring rather than a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

It was as if the energy of the ten-thousand-year soul ring had not caused any damage to his body's meridians, limbs, or bones; it was absorbed by him very gently!
There's also the soul shock that must be endured when absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

However, Zhang Lexuan stared at Dugu Han all night, but she couldn't see the slightest ripple on Dugu Han's face.

It's as if the concept of soul vibration doesn't even exist.

Yan Shaozhe was also extremely puzzled by this.

Zhang Lexuan nearly exploded and died after absorbing a 3,900-year-old soul ring for the third soul ring.

He was even worse off in his youth, only absorbing a third spirit ring that was 3,600 years old. Moreover, when he absorbed the spirit ring, his meridians and limbs were almost burst by the energy of the spirit ring.

However, Dugu Han's expression remained extremely calm as he absorbed the ten-thousand-year soul ring with his third soul ring, showing no signs of distress.

How powerful his meridians must be!
Moreover, he absorbed a ten-thousand-year spirit ring with his third spirit ring, so what about his fourth spirit ring?
There's also the fifth spirit ring, the sixth spirit ring...

His cultivation speed was beyond that of ordinary people, coupled with the increase in soul power brought about by absorbing soul rings of higher levels.

"Soul Douluo before the age of twenty, or even Title Douluo before the age of twenty-five."

Thinking of this, Yan Shaozhe took a deep look at his junior brother.

Just then, Dugu Han fully absorbed the energy provided by the ten-thousand-year soul ring and opened his eyes.

He noticed the way Yan Shaozhe was looking at him and asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that, Senior Brother?"

"nothing!"

Yan Shaozhe shook his head and asked, "How about this unprecedented third soul ring that lasts for ten thousand years? How many levels of soul power did it give you?"

Zhang Lexuan also looked at Dugu Han with curiosity.

Level 4!

Dugu Han stood up, feeling his soul power, and laughed, "The energy of the ten-thousand-year soul ring directly raised my soul power to level thirty-four."

Zhang Lexuan wasn't too surprised; this soul power level was about what she had calculated before.

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe, like Zhang Lexuan before him, felt a deep sense of defeat.

He was a prodigy in his youth, and a Soul Saint at the age of twenty; otherwise, he wouldn't have been accepted as a disciple by Elder Mu.

Even so, when he broke through to the age of thirty-four, he was already over ten years old, almost eleven!

A level 34 Soul Master at the age of nine years and one month!
This kind of talent, if not unparalleled in the future, would be absolutely unmatched even if we look back ten thousand years.

"correct!"

Yan Shaozhe shook his head and asked again, "How is the soul skill of your ten-thousand-year soul ring?"

"Invincible!"

As he spoke, Dugu Han let out a low shout and summoned his Frost Dragon Martial Soul, performing Martial Soul Possession.

The moment his martial spirit possessed him, his eyes turned into ice-blue pupils, and fine ice patterns gradually condensed on his skin. In the blink of an eye, those fine ice patterns transformed into ice-blue dragon scales, tightly covering his body, each scale shimmering with a cold luster.

After the martial soul was attached to him, Dugu Han's figure also grew a little taller, his muscles bulged slightly, and his arms transformed into thick and powerful dragon arms. His slender fingers formed the shape of dragon claws, and the tips of the claws shimmered with an icy blue light.

A chilling aura emanated from him, and frost formed on the snow beneath his feet, rapidly spreading outwards.

At the same time, three spirit rings, yellow, purple, and black, rose up from beneath his feet in sequence.

Immediately afterwards, the black spirit ring flickered.

The next second, Dugu Han's figure vanished into thin air.

When he reappeared, he was already sitting on Zhang Lexuan's bed!

"Teleport!"

Yan Shaozhe looked at Dugu Han, who had vanished into thin air, and exclaimed in surprise, "It was the Ice Instant skill of the Abyss Frost Dragon."

"That's right, I absorbed the Abyssal Frost Dragon's soul ring precisely for this skill."

Dugu Han walked out of Zhang Lexuan's ice house and apologized to Zhang Lexuan, "This is my first time using this skill, and I'm not used to it yet. I can't quite control the distance of Ice Instant."

"It's okay!" Zhang Lexuan gently shook her head; she wasn't the kind of girl who fussed over trivial matters.

"Xiao Han, how many times a day can you use this skill? How much soul power does it consume?" Yan Shaozhe asked Dugu Han with concern.

"There is no limit to the number of uses. As for the soul power consumption, with my current soul power, it is only enough for three uses. However, as my soul power increases, the number of uses of Ice Instant will also increase."

A smile appeared on Dugu Han's face; this was an incredible soul skill.

The absence of a limit on the number of times means that, theoretically, he can teleport indefinitely as long as he has enough soul power.

Of course, this is only in theory.

"No limit on the number of times?"

Yan Shaozhe exclaimed in surprise, "This is incredible!"

"What about other restrictions?"

Zhang Lexuan thought for a moment and said, "For example, distance limitation, and the name of this skill is Ice Instant, so it must be related to the ice element, right?"

"I can only teleport in ice-attribute environments. As for the teleportation distance, it depends on my mental strength. With my current mental strength, I can instantly reach any place within my sight."

As Dugu Han spoke, he looked at an iceberg a kilometer away. After his black ten-thousand-year soul ring flashed once, his figure disappeared into thin air again.

Having learned from his first teleportation experience, he made no mistakes this time. When he reappeared, he stood on the summit of the iceberg as he had envisioned.

"unbelievable!"

Zhang Lexuan stared in disbelief at Dugu Han, who had instantly teleported to the top of the ice mountain.

The straight-line distance from here to the foot of that iceberg is about one kilometer, but the straight-line distance to the summit is at least 1.3 kilometers.

A Soul Master can instantly teleport 1.3 kilometers away. Even if the teleportation is only possible in areas with abundant ice elements, this Soul Skill is still incredibly powerful!
Moreover, Zhang Lexuan hadn't forgotten that Dugu Han had said his Ice Emperor Wings could fire Ice Emperor Blades to serve as coordinates for teleportation.

This means that Dugu Han's Ice Instant Soul Skill will have no further limitations, except for consuming soul power.

"This this……"

Yan Shaozhe stared in shock at Dugu Han, who had instantly teleported to the top of the ice mountain, his eyes wide with disbelief.

The teleportation distance depends on mental strength.

Dugu Han teleported directly to the top of the ice mountain, which means his mental power can now cover the top of the ice mountain 1.3 kilometers away!
Is this the spiritual power a Soul Master could possess?
Dugu Han spread his Ice Emperor Wings at the mountaintop and flew back. When he was still a hundred meters away from the two of them, an ice-blue feather blade with specks of emerald light shot out in front of them with a 'whoosh'.

The next second, Dugu Han's ten-thousand-year soul ring lit up, and his figure disappeared into thin air once again.

When he reappeared, he had already picked up the Ice Emperor's Blade. The requirement of ice element for teleportation might be an enormous limitation for others, but for him, the Ice Emperor's Wings perfectly compensated for this deficiency.

Yan Shaozhe stared at Dugu Han, who had reappeared before him, and swallowed hard. He asked in shock, "You... what level has your mental power reached now?"

Zhang Lexuan was somewhat surprised when she heard this, not understanding why Yan Shaozhe suddenly asked about Dugu Han's mental strength. But she quickly realized what was going on and covered her mouth in surprise as she looked at Dugu Han.

"It's already materialized!"

Dugu Han thought for a moment and said, "It's probably only one step away from the stage of having form but no substance!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe and Zhang Lexuan were stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

The spiritual power of a Soul Master has actually reached the point of materialization, just one step away from becoming tangible yet intangible.

This was far more shocking to the two of them than Dugu Han's third soul ring that lasted for ten thousand years.

After all, materializing spiritual power is something only a Title Douluo can do.

It is only one step away from having tangible but intangible spiritual power, and it can even be compared with the spiritual power of Yan Shaozhe, a super Douluo!
"How did you do that?" Yan Shaozhe asked incredulously.

"I ate a spiritual herb that enhanced my spiritual power by chance, so I opened up my spiritual sea early on. Later, I absorbed the spiritual essence of a Title Douluo evil soul master. After that, I experienced the baptism of life, and my spiritual power increased a lot again, and its quality was also purified to the point of being materialized," Dugu Han explained with a smile.

However, he didn't say "longing until the autumn waters run dry," but instead used "spiritual herbs" as a substitute.

After listening, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but exclaim, "An incredible stroke of luck!"

Zhang Lexuan nodded in agreement.

Improving one's mental strength is far more difficult than improving one's soul strength.

As a result, Dugu Han's spiritual herb, a wisp of evil soul master's essence, and a baptism of life directly raised his spiritual power to a level comparable to Yan Shaozhe, a level 95 Super Douluo!

"correct!"

Dugu Han looked at the intact corpse of the Abyss Frost Dragon beside him and asked in surprise, "Didn't you search for any soul bones?"

"The teacher said you have incredible luck, so we're waiting for you to search!"

Yan Shaozhe laughed as he spoke, saying, "Now it seems that his luck is truly extraordinary."

"I'm nothing compared to what's to come! There are people with even more incredible luck than me!"

Dugu Han smiled, then took the Ice Emperor Blade in his hand and slashed open the corpse of the Abyss Frost Dragon to begin searching.

The probability of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast producing a soul bone has increased significantly.

The probability of a top-tier soul beast like the Abyss Frost Dragon producing a soul bone will increase even further.

Yan Shaozhe watched expectantly as Dugu Han searched for the soul bone.

Although it is only a ten-thousand-year-old Abyssal Frost Dragon, if such a top-level soul beast can produce a soul bone, its value is no less than that of an ordinary thirty-thousand-year-old soul bone.

Dugu Han searched the corpse of the Abyss Frost Dragon, which was more than ten feet long, for a long time, and then suddenly froze.

"How about it?"

Yan Shaozhe hurriedly asked, "Has the soul bone been extracted?"

"no!"

Dugu Han pulled out his blood-stained hands and chuckled.

He just teased Yan Shaozhe because he saw how expectant he looked.

"Then you just..."

Before Yan Shaozhe could finish speaking, he saw Dugu Han's teasing look and understood, and said with a smile, "You're joking with your senior brother like this, aren't you?"

"Don't be angry, senior brother!"

Dugu Han took out clean water from the Ice and Snow Love and washed the bloodstains from his hands. Then he took out the remaining bucket of Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King's blood and said with a smile, "Although we didn't find the soul bone, we can't let you go for nothing, senior brother. Take this back for Xiao Tao!"

"How much do you have?" Yan Shaozhe asked in surprise as Dugu Han took out another bucket of Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King Blood.

At first, Elder Mu brought back a bucket of water from the far north for Ma Xiaotao. Dugu Han poured out a bucket at the Sea God Pavilion and used half of it. Ma Xiaotao used the rest!
Yesterday, I used up one tub of Wannianjing capsules, and now I've taken out another tub, plus what Dugu Han used himself.

Thinking of this, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but ask, "What did that Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King do to offend you that you bled so much blood from it?"

"There aren't many, only five buckets in total. This is the last one, so you can give it to Xiaotao!"

Dugu Han smiled and gestured for Yan Shaozhe to take away the bucket of Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King's blood.

Given his current physical condition, the blood of the Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King is of little use to him. He might as well do Ma Xiaotao a favor and give it to her.

Moreover, even brothers keep clear accounts. They are just fellow disciples. Yan Shaozhe, a super Douluo of level 95, put aside everything at Shrek Academy and personally went to the far north ice sea to catch a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast for him.

He absolutely couldn't let Yan Shaozhe make a wasted trip.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Yan Shaozhe didn't stand on ceremony and with a wave of his hand, he put away the ice bucket in front of him that was full of the blood of the Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King.

He then ran to Xiaobai's cave and collected the bucket of Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King's blood that Dugu Han had soaked in when he ate whale glue.

"No!"

Dugu Han said speechlessly, "I've already used that bucket!"

"It's alright, Xiao Tao doesn't mind having a senior uncle like you." Yan Shaozhe waved his hand dismissively.

When he had Ma Xiaotao use the remaining half pool of Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King's blood from the Sea God Pavilion, he also indicated that it had been used by Dugu Han!

It would be impossible for Ma Xiaotao not to find it disgusting at all, but in order to suppress the evil fire within her body and focus on cultivation, she endured it.

This bucket is no different from that half-pool, the only difference being that this bucket is the one Dugu Han used when taking whale glue.

But Yan Shaozhe figured that if he didn't say anything, Ma Xiaotao probably wouldn't notice anything different.

"You're such a good teacher!"

Dugu Han gave his senior brother a thumbs up.

"Of course! You have no idea how much I've worried about helping Xiaotao solve her problem of 'evil fire'!"

Yan Shaozhe sighed as he mentioned the evil fire within Ma Xiaotao's body and looked at Dugu Han earnestly, saying, "Xiaohan, the teacher has told me everything, and I've also seen you evolve your martial soul twice in a row. So, I'm entrusting the task of helping Xiaotao complete her martial soul evolution and clearing the evil fire from her body to you!"

"I'll try my best to find a solution!" Dugu Han nodded.

"Okay, I'll head back now. If you need anything, come find me at the academy."

After saying goodbye to Zhang Lexuan, Yan Shaozhe flew directly towards Longcheng.

After watching Yan Shaozhe leave, Dugu Han looked at Zhang Lexuan beside him and asked with a smile, "Is something bothering you?"

"No!"

Zhang Lexuan smiled and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

"It seems like you have more on your mind since you came back from Shrek Academy than when you left!"

Dugu Han thought for a moment and asked, "Is it because of Bei Bei?"
