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

Ye Chen arrived at Xian Lin'er's laboratory.

In order not to frighten Xian Lin'er, Ye Chen walked openly through the main entrance and did not use teleportation.

Upon entering the laboratory, the familiar metallic scent wafted over him, making Ye Chen feel a little nostalgic.

Ye Chen's gaze swept across the area, and he soon spotted Xian Lin'er in the transparent laboratory in the distance.

Xian Lin'er remained as focused and passionate as ever about her profession. Although she noticed Ye Chen's arrival, she continued to work diligently.

Ye Chen secretly glanced at her and discovered that Xian Lin'er was focused on inscribing an extremely complex level eight core.

In addition to a level nine soul tool core, a level nine soul tool is also assisted by some level eight soul tools cores.

Moreover, judging from the core magic array that Xian Lin'er is currently inscribing, its difficulty is almost infinitely close to level 9.

Although Ye Chen was still only a level six Soul Master, he had extremely high comprehension and broad knowledge, and he could see through Xian Lin'er's abilities at a glance.

Of course, Ye Chen only possessed theoretical knowledge; he certainly couldn't help Xian Lin'er create a level-nine soul tool.

However, if Ye Chen wants to become a level nine Soul Master, it won't actually take too long.

Because he possesses a soul core, coupled with mental power far exceeding that of a Super Douluo, Ye Chen only needs three months to study and he is confident that he can directly become a level nine soul master!
Yes, that's how confident you are.

However, three months was torture for Ye Chen, a lazy person.

Since he can use cheat codes, Ye Chen never needs to practice diligently.

So even if Ye Chen could do it, he couldn't possibly lock himself in the lab for three months.

He couldn't stand that kind of torture.

Ye Chen's combat power is now basically invincible. Soul tools are just a hobby for him, and can only be considered icing on the cake.

Even without putting in the effort, Ye Chen could advance to the ninth-level Soul Master within a year, so he wasn't worried at all.

Moreover, judging from Xian Lin'er's appearance, it seems she is about to succeed.

Although Ye Chen couldn't help, he could at least keep him company.

Of course, even if Ye Chen could help, he wouldn't.

After all, this is the final moment, and it wouldn't be very polite for Ye Chen to interfere. Even if he succeeds, it will greatly diminish Xian Lin'er's sense of accomplishment.

It would be better to let Xianlin'er figure it out herself.

Ye Chen stood quietly outside the isolation glass, patiently waiting.

Time passed slowly, and the sunlight outside the window gradually changed from the blazing midday gold to orange-red, then settled into a deep twilight purple, and was finally completely replaced by the inky blackness of night.

The soul-guided lights in the laboratory shone brightly and steadily, illuminating Xianlin'er's focused profile.

She was wearing a slightly oversized pure white lab coat, the sleeves of which she had rolled up to her elbows, revealing her two snow-white forearms.

Her long, black hair was casually pinned up at the back of her head with a metal hairpin, swaying gently with her subtle movements.

After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, Xian Lin'er's fingers paused abruptly, and the cyan soul power light at her fingertips suddenly became stable and bright.

She took a deep breath, her eyes bursting with indescribable excitement and exhilaration!
It worked!
Xian Lin'er's tense body instantly relaxed, and she let out a big breath as if a great weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and a radiant smile bloomed on her face.

Although the smile was tinged with exhaustion, it was filled with immense sense of accomplishment and joy.

It added even more dazzling radiance to her already beautiful face.

After carefully preserving the core magic array she had just created, Xian Lin'er finally relaxed completely. With slightly unsteady steps, she turned around and pushed open the door to the transparent partition.

Ye Chen quickly went to meet her, a gentle smile on his face, and naturally reached out to support her somewhat tired body.

"Teacher, you're finally out!"

Xian Lin'er then noticed Ye Chen, who had been waiting outside. Looking at the dark window, she realized that Ye Chen had been waiting there for several hours.

"Xiao Chen, I'm sorry... I got too engrossed in the lesson..." Xian Lin'er gently held Ye Chen's hand, her eyes filled with deep apology.

"It's alright. I didn't want to disturb you since you were studying so intently."

Ye Chen smiled and shook his head, then helped her to a cushioned chair nearby. "Teacher, you must be starving. Have something to eat first."

Ye Chen had anticipated that Xian Lin'er might come out very late that afternoon, so he used his spatial teleportation to go to several of Shrek City's most famous dessert shops and pack up a lot of food.

Ye Chen took out several exquisite cardboard boxes from his storage soul tool.

Open one of them, and you'll find neatly arranged swan-shaped cream puffs inside, emitting an enticing aroma.

The other box contained several delicate mousse cakes adorned with fresh fruit.

Another box contained several of Shrek City’s famous savory snacks, including small meat pies and crispy baked cheese sticks.

The food was placed in the storage soul tool, and although a long time had passed, it was still warm, and a rich aroma still filled the air.

"Teacher, this is a new product, it must be delicious."

Ye Chen handed the box containing cream puffs and snacks to Xian Lin'er, and then carefully handed her a water glass.

Xianlin'er was truly starving.

The high-intensity, high-mental-consumption research lasted for an entire afternoon, resulting in a huge drain on both physical and spiritual energy.

She picked up a swan-shaped cream puff and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it heartily.

The soft bread and the cool yet rich cream filling blended together in her mouth, greatly satisfying her empty stomach.

"Mmm...delicious..."

As Xianlin spoke indistinctly, she picked up another meat pie and ate it quickly and contentedly, her cheeks puffing out slightly.

The familiar delicious taste still eased the fatigue between her brows.

Ye Chen sat next to her, watching her wolf down her food, feeling both amused and sorry for her.

"Teacher, you don't need to work so hard. You should rest when you need to."

Ye Chen's voice was very soft, with obvious concern, as he gently stroked Xian Lin'er's hand with his fingers, "Look how tired you are."

Xianlin swallowed the food in her mouth, feeling the warmth and comfort from the back of her hand, and her heart warmed.

But she still scoffed, "What do you know? My talent isn't as monstrous as yours. Researching soul tools requires completing it in one go. If you give up halfway, your train of thought will be broken, and it will be difficult to pick it up again."

She paused, then added, "Besides, I'm a Super Douluo, so this level of workload is nothing to me."

As she spoke, Xianlin'er picked up another piece of mousse cake, scooped out a large chunk with a spoon, and stuffed it into her mouth, seemingly trying to prove her boundless energy.

Of course, she was telling the truth.

This level of workload is only slightly tiring and has no impact on the body.

Ye Chen smiled helplessly as he looked at her trying to keep up the good work.

He knew that Xian Lin'er was telling the truth. After all, Soul Masters were naturally strong and healthy, and could work 20 hours a day without any problems. If they were in his previous life, they would be considered perfect beasts of burden.

Even if Xian Lin'er could do it, Ye Chen would still feel sorry for her.

Ye Chen stretched out his arm and naturally put his arm around Xian Lin'er's soft waist, gently pulling her closer to him so that she could comfortably lean against him.

"Okay, okay, my teacher is the best!"

Ye Chen said helplessly.

After saying that, he quickly gave her a "smack" on her fair cheek, which was slightly puffed up from chewing, making a crisp sound.
