Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 76 The Virtuous Zhang Lexuan
Zhang Lexuan looked at Dugu Han in silence for a moment, then turned to the side and said forlornly, "I saw them!"

"With that girl?"

"Ok!"

Zhang Lexuan nodded and said with a complicated expression, "She looks quite pretty from behind. She's the same age as Beibei, and Beibei likes her a lot."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Han didn't say anything more and silently began to dispose of the corpse of the Abyss Frost Dragon with his ice blade.

Although no soul bone was found, the meat of a top-tier dragon-type soul beast is still very delicious.

"Aren't you going to say something?" Zhang Lexuan asked in surprise as she looked at Dugu Han, who was beginning to cut the Abyss Frost Dragon.

Dugu Han cut a piece of succulent meat from the corpse of the Abyss Frost Dragon and set it aside, chuckling lightly, "What can an outsider like me say about this? At most, I can only offer you a few words of comfort. But you are Zhang Lexuan, the number one genius of Shrek Academy. I don't think you need my comfort!"

"Even the most talented person would feel ashamed in front of a true genius like you, who has a third spirit ring after ten thousand years and whose mental strength is comparable to a level 95 Super Douluo."

Zhang Lexuan smiled, feeling the comfortable aura emanating from Dugu Han, temporarily forgetting her unhappy thoughts.

Then he took out a soul-guided dagger from his soul-guided bracelet and went over to help cut the Abyss Frost Dragon.

The entire Abyssal Frost Dragon, which was over ten zhang long, was reduced to a skeleton in no time. The flesh and blood on it were all cut into strips and placed aside by the two of them.

Zhang Lexuan picked up a piece of meat, stretched out her hand to Dugu Han, and smiled, "Give me your ingredients and medicinal herbs. I won't stay for free; I'll take care of your food and lodging from now on."

"That's daring!"

Dugu Han smiled and took out the storage soul tool that Elder Xue had given him before. Inside were the food, medicinal herbs and other cultivation resources that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had prepared for him last year.

They also presented the recipes for medicinal diets and baths.

Zhang Lexuan took the meat strips, glanced at them, and then carried them back to her ice house to start preparing medicinal cuisine.

Dugu Han also went back to his ice house to begin recovering his soul power.

An hour later, Zhang Lexuan brought him a meat soup and woke him up: "How is it?"

Dugu Han took a bite and found the taste to be just average, neither good nor bad, about the same as what he had made by himself before.

As for the medicinal effects that aid in cultivating soul power, it's possible that because he has already broken through to the Soul Venerable level, the medicinal effects are much weaker than before.

"How was it?" Zhang Lexuan asked with a smile.

Dugu Han thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Just tell me directly, I can improve on the parts that aren't good."

"It's about the same as my usual standard. It's not bad, but it's not exactly delicious either. I can only say it's edible."

After finishing his sentence, Dugu Han chuckled and said, "Will what I said hurt your confidence?"

"No, as long as it's edible, it's fine!"

Zhang Lexuan laughed. She could learn to cook if she wasn't good at it, as long as it wasn't unpalatable at first.

"Oh, right, I also prepared a medicinal bath for you."

Zhang Lexuan then brought over a tub of milky white medicinal bath water.

For Dugu Han now, the medicinal bath can no longer enhance his martial spirit attributes or temper his body!
However, there are also some auxiliary soul power circulation methods that can accelerate cultivation.

After Dugu Han finished his medicinal meal and waited for Zhang Lexuan to leave, he took off his clothes and jumped inside to begin cultivating.

After returning to her igloo and tidying up the dishes, Zhang Lexuan, having nothing else to do, went to the glacier to move some ice blocks for carving.

She learned this from a teacher at Shrek Academy.

Sculpting can calm the mind, and when one is extremely focused, it can even slightly enhance mental strength.

It had little effect, but it was better than nothing.

However, when Zhang Lexuan was carving Beibei into a block of ice, she couldn't calm down at all.

The image of Beibei walking side by side with a girl named Xiaoya that I saw that day involuntarily came to mind.

Thinking about the scene she saw that day, Zhang Lexuan unconsciously sculpted two silhouettes.

It was the sight of Beibei and Xiaoya walking side by side from behind that day.

Then Zhang Lexuan looked at the two ice sculptures of her backs that she had carved, and felt a sense of loss.

After a long while, she sighed and continued to carve Han Ruoruo, Wu Ming, Dugu Han and other people she knew well.

night!

Dugu Han finished his day of cultivation and walked out of the ice house, staring blankly at the ice sculptures scattered on the ground.

Zhang Lexuan, who was carving other people's likenesses, noticed Dugu Han coming out, put down her carving knife, stood up and said, "You're awake. The medicinal meal is ready. I'll go and bring it to you."

"sorry to bother you!"

Dugu Han smiled and nodded, then began to examine each ice sculpture.

There were statues of Elder Mu, Elder Lin and Elder Zhuang from the Sea God Pavilion, as well as a group of elders besides Elder Xuan, and statues of Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming, as well as statues of him and Xue Di.

Dugu Han walked to the statues of himself and Xue Di.

Their statues are made of ice blocks as tall as three people, depicting the scene where he stood on the palm of the 100,000-year-old Titan Snow Demon, facing the Snow Emperor.

Dugu Han looked at his own lifelike reflection above, then at the Snow Emperor standing opposite him with an indifferent gaze, and a smile appeared on his face.

From that day on, the gears of fate began to turn.

He, who should have lived an ordinary life with his innate first-level soul power, became the most talented being in the world.

Well... at least before Huo Gu appeared.

Dugu Han thought of Huo Gua's million-year soul ring, and the second martial soul that Electrolux had forcibly created with his divine sense...

To be honest, he had no ill intentions towards Huo Gua, but he was genuinely envious of such an incredible opportunity!

"I wonder if my current mental strength, which is comparable to that of a level 95 Super Douluo, is enough to attract Tianmeng and Ilex?"

Dugu Han looked up at the starry sky, feeling somewhat uncertain.

After all, he is the chosen one!
The million-year-old soul beast and Electrolux's divine sense seemed to be arranged specifically for Huo Gua by this world.

"What are you thinking about?"

Zhang Lexuan came out carrying the medicinal meal and asked.

"I wasn't thinking about anything!"

Dugu Han smiled, took the medicinal meal, and took a bite.

The taste was still neither good nor bad, but it was an improvement over the one from this morning.

"Not bad, you've improved!" Dugu Han praised with a smile. "Improvement is good!"

Zhang Lexuan also laughed.

"correct!"

Dugu Han looked at the numerous ice sculptures and asked Zhang Lexuan with a puzzled expression, "Why did you suddenly decide to carve ice sculptures?"

"When I have nothing to do, I carve some things to pass the time."

"Aren't you going to cultivate?"

"Elder Mu said that I was too eager for quick results in my previous cultivation and put too much pressure on myself, so he told me to stop for a while and live a carefree life, saying it would be good for my state of mind," Zhang Lexuan explained.

"That old man is talking nonsense!"

Dugu Han retorted, "Your excessive cultivation pressure is caused by the annihilation of your family. If I were you, I would directly wipe out the entire enemy family, and my mind would instantly become clear and everything would become transparent."

Zhang Lexuan smiled but didn't respond. However, she was curious about Dugu Han's attitude towards Elder Mu and asked, "Everyone says to respect one's teacher, but you seem to be very..."

"Deceiving one's master and betraying one's ancestors?"

"It's not that bad, but it just feels very disrespectful."

"Respect is not something you say, it's something you do. You have no idea how much I sacrificed to let the old man live a couple more years."

Dugu Han spoke with a hint of heartache.

The Xuanming Sect doesn't understand what the Life Gold is, but that whole piece of Life Gold will eventually belong to them.

If he hadn't been afraid that Elder Mu would die in a few years, he would never have revealed the information about that piece of the Life Gold.

However, what pleased Dugu Han was that after Elder Mu obtained the gold of life, in addition to giving him half as agreed, he also gave him half of the other half.

This was what Yan Shaozhe told him when he said goodbye to his senior brother before leaving Shrek Academy.

This made Dugu Han quite gratified; at least the teacher's love and care hadn't been wasted.

Zhang Lexuan glanced at Dugu Han, not quite understanding what it meant to let Old Master Mu live for two more years, but she was sensible enough not to ask any further questions.

After Dugu Han finished eating the medicinal meal, she cleared away the bowls and chopsticks and placed a new medicinal bath in Dugu Han's ice house.

At the same time, they also rearranged Dugu Han's bedding.

Dugu Han leaned against the door, watching Zhang Lexuan make his bed and fold the blankets, and couldn't help but marvel at Bei Bei's intelligence.

Instead of having a gentle and virtuous woman like Zhang Lexuan, whose cultivation talent is unparalleled, he pursues a spoiled and arrogant Tang Clan leader with mediocre cultivation talent who was also the head of the Tang Clan.

Hard to understand!

"what happened?"

After Zhang Lexuan made the bed, she turned around and saw Dugu Han staring at her strangely.

"nothing!"

Dugu Han smiled and said, "I just don't understand what Beibei is thinking."

Zhang Lexuan was taken aback when she suddenly heard Dugu Han mention Beibei. She reached up and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled, "Maybe he thinks I'm older than him, so he's always treated me like an older sister."

“With your talents, living to two or three hundred years old is not a problem, and a difference of a few years in age is even less of a problem,” Dugu Han said, shaking his head.

"Perhaps he has other ideas!"

Zhang Lexuan smiled and didn't want to continue the topic. She asked, "What do you want to eat tomorrow? How about the roasted meat from the Abyss Frost Dragon? I bought some honey when I stopped to recover my soul power on my way back to the academy."

"Row!"

Dugu Han nodded.

"Then I'll make it for you tomorrow!"

……

In the time that followed, Dugu Han began to focus on his cultivation.

It wasn't until a month later, when Xiaobai woke up naturally and was about to cause trouble for the Titan Snow Demon Clan, that Dugu Han stopped cultivating.

"Xiao Bai, don't cause trouble when you get there."

Dugu Han stroked the little white dog's furry belly and said, "Let me get that Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow first."

"Row!"

Xiao Bai nodded to indicate that there was no problem, and then asked Dugu Han and Zhang Lexuan, who was standing next to him, to cover their ears.

Zhang Lexuan was a little confused, but seeing that Dugu Han did the same, she also reached out and covered her ears.

The next second!
Little White then leaped with all its might, soaring over a thousand meters high, before letting out a powerful roar: "Roar—"

A deafening roar of a bear echoed throughout the core region of the far north.

The Ice Crystal Radiant Dragon King, which was closest to Little White's Cave, stretched out its dragon claw and picked at its ear, remaining unmoved.

Other 100,000-year-old soul beasts, including those in the core area of ​​the far north, were also used to it.

Ever since the Titan Snow Demon King proposed to the Snow Empress, Xiao Bai has been gathering the Ice Bear Clan to fight the Titan Snow Demon Clan whenever he has a spare moment; it has become a regular occurrence.

Having just finished inspecting the outskirts of the far north and returned to the territory of the Titan Snow Demon, the Titan Snow Demon King scratched his head helplessly upon hearing Little White's roar.

That damned Ice Bear King has been fixated on Snow Empress ever since it started courting her; it's disgusting.

After Xiaobai finished roaring, it landed back on the ground.

Its enormous size shook the entire snowfield, causing it to tumble over.

All the ice sculptures Zhang Lexuan had carved over the past month were overturned, and even half of the igloo she had built herself collapsed.

However, she didn't care. If it collapsed, she could just rebuild it. The far north didn't have much else, except for ice.

She just didn't understand why someone would yell "What are you going to do?" as soon as they stepped out the door.
Dugu Han noticed Zhang Lexuan's confusion and explained, "Xiao Bai is gathering her people."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground shook again.

One after another, huge ice bears came running over.

One of them is 100,000 years old.

Before long, hundreds of ice bears had gathered.

The enormous commotion completely collapsed Zhang Lexuan's ice house, and even Dugu Han's ice house, which had been reinforced by Elder Xue with his soul power, trembled.

After most of his people had arrived, Little White waved his paw and said, "Go to the Titan Snow Demon Clan and take them down!"
