Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 82 Promise yourself
A jet-black, ten-thousand-year-old soul ring rose beneath Dugu Han's feet.

Ning Zhiyuan stared blankly at the ten-thousand-year third soul ring.

Yellow first spirit rings are quite common, and while purple second spirit rings are extremely rare, they have appeared before.

However, having a third spirit ring that lasts for ten thousand years on someone with a single spirit is absolutely unprecedented.

"you……"

Ning Zhiyuan stared in shock at the ten-thousand-year third soul ring, opened his mouth, but was speechless, not knowing what to say.

"This is the soul ring of the Ten Thousand Year Abyss Frost Dragon. When I sent Le Xuan to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to deliver a message, I also asked her to ask my senior brother Yan Shaozhe to help hunt down the soul ring."

Dugu Han put away the soul ring and laughed.

Ning Zhiyuan snapped out of his daze, gave Dugu Han a deep look, and earnestly promised, "My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and your Dugu family have had a friendship for ten thousand years. Your father and I are even closer friends. In the future, if you need to hunt for soul rings, just come to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

"Row!"

Dugu Han agreed without hesitation.

Ning Zhiyuan saw that Dugu Han had agreed immediately and smiled, saying, "Go sit in the hall for a while, I'll go and tell the elders."

"it is good!"

Dugu Han smiled and walked out.

Ning Zhiyuan watched Dugu Han walk out, took a deep breath, and then followed him out.

An unprecedented third spirit ring that lasts for ten thousand years!
Such talent is bound to reach its limit!
Moreover, he is a Limitless being who has a blood relationship with the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire.

If the Sun Moon Empire were to invade in the future, such an existence could ensure the safety of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

When Zhang Lexuan saw Dugu Han return on his own in the reception hall, she stood up and asked, "Is it because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disagrees?"

"agreed!"

Dugu Han walked in, sat down, and said with a smile, "Uncle Ning said he would lend us three Title Douluos."

"Three Title Douluos?"

Zhang Lexuan looked at Dugu Han in surprise: "They value you so much."

"normal!"

"In terms of identity, background, and qualifications, no one in the entire mainland surpasses me. Investing in me is a sure thing."

Dugu Han smiled and said, "Moreover, it is only dealing with a family of a Soul Douluo at the peak. This is a small matter for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The only thing to watch out for is the intervention of the royal family, but the royal family will not offend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for the sake of a small family."

Zhang Lexuan was relieved to hear this.

A peak-level Soul Douluo isn't scary; she can handle him on her own, not to mention there's also Elder Xue, who is also a peak-level Soul Douluo, there.

The only concern is that the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family might get involved, but since the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is willing to help, there's no problem!

"correct!"

Dugu Han thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Ning also told me some of the truth about the massacre of your family."

"the truth?"

"Wasn't it because our family accidentally offended them?"

Zhang Lexuan frowned and said, "You mean there's more to this than meets the eye?"

"It's related to your martial spirit."

Dugu Han recounted what Ning Zhiyuan had told him.

After hearing this, Zhang Lexuan looked confused and asked, "So our family has connections with the Sun Moon Empire?"

"The Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family has investigated for decades but hasn't found anything, so we can't be sure. However, the Moon Martial Soul is one of the three inherited Martial Souls of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family, and the fact that the men in your family have dark skin is consistent with the characteristics of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family, which is quite intriguing."

Dugu Han was also puzzled at this point.

The Sun Moon Empire and the original Douluo Three Kingdoms have been fighting for thousands of years. It's not uncommon for ordinary people from various countries to be displaced by the war and flee to other countries for refuge.

But those were just ordinary people.

The Moon Martial Soul is one of the three great martial souls inherited by the royal bloodline of the Sun Moon Empire, and it is impossible for it to appear in ordinary people.

The royal family of the Sun Moon Empire will not be displaced due to the war.

"Forget it, those are all old stories from the past!"

Zhang Lexuan remained silent for a long time, then looked at Dugu Han and gently shook her head, saying, "Let's turn the page on this matter after we've taken our revenge!"

"Alright!"

Dugu Han smiled gently: "After you've taken your revenge, you should be able to relax completely!"

"After I get my revenge, I can finally visit my parents' graves to pay my respects. I've wanted to go for so many years, but I've never dared to." Zhang Lexuan smiled.

Then she looked at Dugu Han very seriously and said, "Thank you!"

"This is the fourth time! I'm so tired of hearing it!"

"Then I must thank you again!"

Zhang Lexuan said earnestly, "I have never been able to repay the life-saving grace you first saved me from Xue Di. Now you have helped me avenge my family. I don't know how I can ever repay you in the future."

"Then why don't you offer yourself in marriage?"

Dugu Han said jokingly.

"it is good!"

Zhang Lexuan nodded seriously.

"Forehead……"

This time, it was Dugu Han's turn to be stunned!

"I am serious."

Zhang Lexuan said earnestly, "As long as you don't mind that I'm a bit older than you."

"What do you mean by old age!"

At this moment, Ning Zhiyuan walked over with three elderly people.

"Uncle Ning!"

"Sect Master Ning!"

Dugu Han and the other person quickly got up.

"Ok!"

Ning Zhiyuan smiled and nodded, introducing Dugu Han and the other person to the three elders: "This is Xiao Han, and this is Zhang Lexuan from Shrek Academy."

He then introduced the three elders to Dugu Han and the other man, saying, "These three are elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School: Elder Wu, Elder Ming, and Elder Ye."

"Elder Wu, Elder Ming, Elder Ye!"

Dugu Han and his companion bowed to the three elders as juniors.

"Alright, we're all family here, no need to be so polite!"

The old shaman chuckled and said, "Zhiyuan told us that your third soul ring absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul ring?"

Elder Ming and Elder Ye also looked at Dugu Han with curiosity.

If it weren't for Ning Zhiyuan's words, they would never have believed that someone could absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring on their third soul ring.

"Xiaohan!"

Ning Zhiyuan gave Dugu Han a look, signaling him to demonstrate.

Dugu Han understood immediately and revealed his spirit rings.

Three spirit rings of different colors, yellow, purple, and black, rose up one after another from beneath his feet.

"unprecedented!"

Looking at Dugu Han's jet-black, ten-thousand-year-old third spirit ring, Elder Wu couldn't help but murmur, "An unprecedented ten-thousand-year-old third spirit ring!"

"Child, may I touch your head?" Old Ye asked, suppressing his shock.

"can!"

Although Dugu Han found it strange, he still went over. Old Ye reached out and patted Dugu Han's head.

Old Ming then grabbed Dugu Han's arm, legs, and chest and touched them.

Dugu Han looked at Ning Zhiyuan with confusion.

Ning Zhiyuan explained, "Elder Ming and Elder Ye want to see if you have absorbed the soul bone in advance."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Han understood and allowed the two elders to examine him.

Before long, the two elders withdrew their hands, looked at each other in disbelief, and shook their heads.

It has no head spirit bone, no limb spirit bones, and no torso bones.

"Without a head soul bone, and not being a spirit-attribute soul master, how did you withstand the soul shock?" Elder Ye looked back at Dugu Han and couldn't help but ask.

"And there's the immense energy of a ten-thousand-year-old soul ring."

Elder Ming couldn't help but ask, "How did you, a Great Soul Master who had just reached level 30, manage to withstand it back then?"

"Elder Ye, Elder Ming!"

Ning Zhiyuan frowned.

Such a private matter should not be inquired about casually; doing so could easily offend people.

Old Wu also looked at Old Ye and his companion, frowning, and said, "Are you getting senile? You've lived to such an old age, don't you know what you should and shouldn't ask?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Ye and Elder Du realized that they had overstepped their bounds and gave Dugu Han an apologetic smile.

"It's not a big secret!"

Dugu Han smiled and withdrew his soul ring, directly shifting the blame to his teacher, explaining, "I'm sure Elder Wu, Elder Ming, and Elder Ye all sensed a comfortable aura emanating from me!"

"I have this feeling, it's not very strong, but it's definitely there."

Before the three elders could speak, Ning Zhiyuan spoke first.

He sensed it the moment Dugu Han entered the hall, but he hadn't had a chance to ask.

The three elders nodded in agreement; they shared the same feeling.

"This feeling is caused by my teacher helping me fuse with a treasure, which also raised my physical strength to the level of a Soul King, so that I can withstand the energy of a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring."

Dugu Han explained with a mixture of truth and falsehood: "The reason my mental strength was able to withstand the soul shock is because I previously purchased an external soul bone in Mingdu, which contained the remnant soul of an evil soul master. My teacher purified it and helped me absorb it, which enhanced my mental strength."

"So this is ah!"

When everyone heard that it was Elder Mu, a Limit Douluo, who had made the move, they were still shocked, but they could barely accept it.

After all, only those titled Douluo could truly understand the power of Limit Douluo, who were almost like gods in this world.

Even the emperor of a country wouldn't dare to provoke them easily.

It's normal to have some seemingly miraculous methods.

After hearing Dugu Han's explanation, Ning Zhiyuan understood and then said, "Since the three elders have no problems, let's not delay and set off for Tiandou City now!"

Dugu Han looked at the three elders.

Zhang Lexuan also looked at them.

She was confident she could defeat a level 89 peak Soul Douluo, but she had to worry about the royal family's movements.

"It's to keep things in order, we know each other well!" Old Wu said with a smile, stroking his snow-white beard.

Elder Ming and Elder Ye also said with a smile, "Let's set off now, and we'll be back as soon as possible."

"Row!"

Dugu Han looked at Zhang Lexuan, unfolded his Ice Emperor Wings, and said, "Let's go!"

"go!"

Zhang Lexuan flew out with Dugu Han.

"An external soul bone, what a blessing!"

The three elders looked at Dugu Han's Ice Emperor Wings and sighed before flying off as well.

Elder Xue had arrived at the Li family's residence some time ago and was confronting the head of the Li family.

Upon noticing Dugu Han and the others arriving, they immediately went to greet them: "Young Master!"

"Ok!"

Dugu Han nodded and looked at the white-bearded old man who had confronted Elder Xue earlier.

"That's him! He's the head of the Li family!"

Zhang Lexuan looked at the head of the Li family and couldn't help but clench her fists.

The scene of her family of over a hundred people being slaughtered more than ten years ago keeps replaying in her mind.

Her mother was killed by the head of the Li family.

"Go and take revenge!" Dugu Han said softly.

Zhang Lexuan remained silent and instead summoned her martial spirit.

Yellow, purple, black, black, red—eight spirit rings rose one after another from beneath his feet.

Then he walked step by step toward the head of the Li family.

"One hundred thousand year soul ring!"

The three elders looked at Zhang Lexuan's last 100,000-year-old red soul ring with a look of surprise in their eyes.

"It's you!"

The head of the Li family looked at Zhang Lexuan walking towards him step by step, a look of regret on his face, and said with deep remorse, "Ever since you entered Shrek Academy, I knew this day would come sooner or later."

"Enough talk, reveal your martial spirit!" Zhang Lexuan said, suppressing her anger.

The Li family patriarch glanced at the three Title Douluos behind Dugu Han, as well as Elder Xue, who was also at the peak of level 89, and then looked at the hundred or so family members below him. His face was ashen as he pleaded, "One person does the deed, one person takes the blame. Can you release the rest of my family?"

“If you cut the weeds without removing the roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows.”

Zhang Lexuan said coldly, "Today is a very obvious example."

"Does it have to be this extreme?"

"You were the ones who went too far first."

Tears welled up in Zhang Lexuan's eyes. She would never forget the day she was playing hide-and-seek with her mother when the head of the Li family suddenly came to her door and massacred her Zhang family.

Seeing this, the Li family patriarch said no more, but a resolute look flashed in his eyes. Powerful soul energy burst forth from his body, yellow, purple, black ...

At the same time, a giant sword appeared out of thin air in his hand. The sword was thick and ancient, with interwoven patterns on it, faintly exuding a murderous aura.

Immediately afterwards, his aura surged again, his fourth and sixth spirit rings lit up simultaneously, and the greatsword in his hand also burst forth with a dazzling light.

The head of the Li family, with veins bulging on his arms, hoisted a giant sword and slashed fiercely at Zhang Lexuan.

Zhang Lexuan stood still, her aura suddenly changed, and her 100,000-year soul ring instantly shone with dazzling brilliance.

Her martial soul—the moon—originally emitted a soft, silvery-white glow, but after the 100,000-year soul ring lit up, in just an instant, that bright moon was stained with a strange, blood-red color.

In an instant, it transformed into a blood moon hanging high in the sky.

The blood moon exuded a chilling aura, as if it came from the deepest hell, dyeing the surrounding air a dark red.

Immediately afterwards, a blood-red beam of light, as thick as a water vat, roared out from the blood moon and shot straight toward the giant sword that the Li family patriarch was slashing down with the force of a thunderbolt.

This is the eighth soul skill derived from a 100,000-year soul ring—Blood Moon Eclipse.

In an instant, the main attack of the Li family was sent flying uncontrollably backward, crashing heavily into the ground and carving a long furrow.

"Homeowner!"

"Homeowner!"

Members of the Li family gathered around, looking at their patriarch with concern.

"Get out of here quickly, the farther the better!"

The head of the Li family reached out and pushed them apart, then charged towards Zhang Lexuan again, wielding his giant sword.
