Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

"Don't worry~ I won't reveal your secret. I'll just say I accidentally fell off a cliff and found a top-grade rare herb, and after eating it, I reached level 40," Wang Dong said with a grin.

She knew her family would definitely worry about her, and might even go and cause trouble for Ye Chen in order to find out the truth.

Having received the benefits, she certainly wouldn't betray Ye Chen.

Anyway, you can make up whatever you want, but you definitely can't betray Ye Chen.

"That's good. This is a little secret between us, and we can't tell anyone." Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

The Haotian Sect has one Niu Tian and one Titan; these two old men are not easy to fool.

Unless absolutely necessary, Ye Chen didn't want to deal with these two.

"Yeah~"

Wang Dong nodded, then nuzzled his head against Ye Chen's neck and began to taste it with his little tongue.

When Ye Chen wasn't doing anything bad, she still really liked the smell of him.

Being held by Ye Chen like this, she felt inexplicably happy.

……

Time passes quickly.

Two hours later.

Xiao Xiao's absorption process is also nearing its end.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen and Wang Dong had already finished their cultivation and were doing other things...

For example, Wang Dong's white hair has disappeared.

It must have been dirtied and then buried under a tree.

"Zi la la~"

The campfire crackled, and the torn flesh of the xiezhi (a mythical beast) was roasted on the wooden rack until it was golden brown and glistening, emitting an enticing aroma that filled the air.

The fresh flesh and blood of an eight-thousand-year-old soul beast can greatly increase one's qi and blood power after consumption, so it should not be wasted.

Wang Dong sat close to Ye Chen on the soft grass, her small, white feet gently swaying.

"Okay, you can eat."

Ye Chen cut off a piece of charred, oily flesh and held it to Wang Dong's mouth.

At the same time, fearing that Wang Dong would get burned, Ye Chen used his soul power to cool him down to a suitable temperature.

"Ow~"

Wang Dong opened his mouth and took a bite, his mouth immediately becoming greasy.

"Hmm~ delicious~"

Wang Dong savored the unique flavor, his eyes narrowing into slits, looking very satisfied.

Ye Chen selected the softest flesh from the belly of the Xie Zhi, and with the nourishment of the soul beast's own cultivation, the taste was naturally quite good.

The flesh in other places is much tougher because of the powerful strength of the soul beasts. Although the nutrition is about the same, the taste is much worse.

Of course, if cooked properly, it is very delicious.

"Eat slowly, mind your manners."

Ye Chen suddenly leaned over and licked the corner of Wang Dong's mouth, eating all the overflowing oil stains clean. It tasted pretty good.

"Ugh... You're still eating it even though it's covered in my saliva, you're such a pervert..."

Wang Dong glanced at Ye Chen with feigned disdain, then subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth.

Haha~ I don't mind~

Ye Chen laughed heartily, appearing exceptionally happy.

"Om-"

Just then, a very obvious fluctuation of soul power suddenly came from Xiao Xiao's side, which immediately attracted the attention of the two of them.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao had completely absorbed the eight-thousand-year-old soul ring.

Her soul power cultivation level directly increased from level 40 to level 42. Perhaps it was because of the residual medicinal power of the immortal herb, coupled with the power of the eight-thousand-year soul ring, which allowed Xiao Xiao's soul power to increase by two levels, which was quite good.

"call……"

Xiao Xiao took a deep breath and immediately felt a little tired.

Absorbing an 8,000-year-old soul ring was still quite a challenge for her.

Fortunately, the result was good; she did not disappoint Ye Chen's expectations and successfully absorbed it!
"Xiao Xiao, how are you feeling?"

Wang Dong came over and quickly asked.

"Hmm~ Feels good, but I need to rest for a bit~"

Xiao Xiao nodded wearily.

"congratulations."

Ye Chen walked over, gave Xiao Xiao a big hug, and laughed, "My Xiao Xiao is now a true Soul Master!"

"Okay~ Thank you, Ye Chen~"

Xiao Xiao gently tiptoed and gave Ye Chen a small kiss on the cheek, then went limp in Ye Chen's arms.

Her gratitude was genuine, and her feelings for Ye Chen were certainly real.

In just half a semester, she reached the Soul Master realm, something she had never imagined. If it weren't for Ye Chen, she might still be like her classmates, undergoing arduous physical training on the playground or engaging in various combat exercises.

Although such training did lead to improvement, it was far too strenuous and yielded very little improvement.

Ultimately, a Soul Master's cultivation depends on resources.

With Ye Chen's financial support, she far surpassed her peers, and even the age of her spirit rings was almost twice that of her peers.

All of this was brought about by Ye Chen.

"Xiao Xiao, what is your fourth soul skill?"

Wang Dong's curious voice came again, interrupting Ye Chen and Xiao Xiao's intimate moment.

"Well……"

Xiao Xiao then realized that Wang Dong was still nearby, and felt a little embarrassed to continue with Ye Chen.

She gently pulled away from Ye Chen's embrace, then smiled and said, "My fourth soul skill should be a powerful sealing ability."

"Let's use it! This is an eight-thousand-year-old soul ring!" Xiao Xiao suggested.

"Yes, give it a try. Release it at me, and I'll assess it."

Ye Chen released Xiao Xiao, nodded, and smiled.

He had actually forgotten some of the specific effects of Xiao Xiao's soul skills.

Ye Chen has a system that allows him to clearly see the effects of soul skills.

However, ordinary Soul Masters do not have a system, especially when they have just acquired Soul Skills. They can only feel the general effect and are not very clear about the details of the Soul Skill's effect.

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao was also eager to try.

next moment.

Just listen to a "buzz" sound.

Xiao Xiao released her Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.

A huge bronze cauldron appeared in front of Xiao Xiao.

Four spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, appeared behind Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao's deepest purple soul ring flashed slightly.

"Om-"

Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron instantly expanded into a giant cauldron phantom with a diameter of over three meters, and then slammed down fiercely towards Ye Chen.

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen simply released his Ice Scale Armor to cover his body, and then let the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron fall.

"boom--"

The Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, accompanied by its illusory image, slammed down on Ye Chen, trapping him within its shadow.

Because it was a control skill, the giant cauldron's attack power wasn't particularly strong, but Ye Chen found himself trapped inside the giant cauldron's phantom.

Not only was he trapped, but the seal also continuously drained his soul power during the process.

Xiao Xiao's suppression can fight across two major realms.

In other words, even a Soul Emperor would be suppressed for at least a few seconds.

However, Ye Chen is an exception.

Although Xiao Xiao and Ye Chen's cultivation levels differed by two major realms, the difference in their combat strength was as vast as an insurmountable chasm.

Xiao Xiao's soul skill, which consumes and suppresses soul power, has almost no effect on Ye Chen.

Not only that.

Ye Chen raised one hand covered in ice scales and casually slapped it onto the seal of the giant cauldron phantom next to him.

"Boom-"

A muffled thud was heard.

The giant cauldron phantom trembled violently under Ye Chen's casual strike.

next moment.

"Boom——"

There was a loud noise.

Xiao Xiao's seal shattered with a bang under Ye Chen's strike.

The Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron itself was blasted far away.

A massive backlash struck, and Xiao Xiao's soul power consumption suddenly intensified.

"Um……"

Xiao Xiao let out a muffled groan, instinctively taking two steps back, her beautiful eyes filled with shock as she looked at Ye Chen…

She had already greatly overestimated Ye Chen's strength.

To everyone's surprise, even though she had already advanced to the Soul Master level and used her most powerful Soul Skill, it was still broken by Ye Chen's casual palm strike.

Just how powerful has Ye Chen become...?
