Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 165 Yan Shaozhe's Excitement

Which end?

Xuanzi's voice became dry and hoarse.

The Ten Ferocious Beasts are the true emperors of the Soul Beast World, terrifying beings who can rival, or even surpass, the top human experts.

Either side could easily trigger a disturbance.

And now, Zhang Lexuan says they've encountered... a ferocious beast on the verge of death?

How is this possible?! What kind of being could drive a ferocious beast into such a desperate situation?

Zhang Lexuan's gaze slowly swept over everyone present, and then, word by word, she uttered that name that everyone was very familiar with.

"Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion."

This name, like a thunderclap from the heavens, resounded loudly within the Sea God Pavilion.

Everyone's expression changed drastically when they heard this name.

The Ice Emperor, ranked seventh among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, was someone they were very familiar with as a Title Douluo.

If the previous news only shocked them, this news was enough to horrify them.

"What...what were the circumstances at the time?"

For the first time, Mu En's aged voice finally rang out.

He slowly opened his eyes, and deep within those seemingly cloudy eyes, it was as if stars were flowing.

"Seriously injured, on the verge of death."

Zhang Lexuan's answer was concise and powerful.

"and then?"

Moon pressed for an answer.

Zhang Lexuan took a deep breath and uttered the words that completely ignited the entire audience.

"Then... in its last moments, it chose Silver Dust."

"In order to prolong its life and will, it completely merged its nearly 400,000 years of cultivation, origin, and soul with Yin Chen in a manner that was almost a sacrifice..."

"It became Yin Chen's... second martial soul."

"Clang-"

With a crisp sound, the half-eaten chicken leg in Xuanzi's hand fell onto the smooth, mirror-like golden wooden floor, where it gathered dust.

But he was completely oblivious, his mouth agape, his eyes wide, as if he had frozen in place.

Yan Shaozhe, who was standing next to him, jumped up from his chair the moment he heard the words "second martial soul".

The chair beneath him was pulled backward by his violent movement, scraping against the ground with a sharp, grating sound.

But nobody cares about these things.

All eyes were fixed on Zhang Lexuan, their faces filled with shock, horror, and disbelief.

"Le Xuan...you...what did you just say?!"

Yan Shaozhe's voice trembled violently with extreme excitement.

"A second martial soul?! Ice Emperor... has become Yin Chen's second martial soul?!"

"Yes, Dean Yan," Zhang Lexuan replied affirmatively.

"So...so that means..."

Yan Shaozhe's breathing became extremely heavy, his chest heaved violently, his fists clenched tightly, and his usually dignified eyes were now filled with surprise.

"So, Yin Chen... possesses the attribute of ultimate ice?!"

'The ultimate ice.'

These four words were extremely important to Yan Shaozhe.

How many years has he been searching?!

In order to suppress the increasingly violent Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul within his most prized disciple, Ma Xiaotao, he searched almost the entire continent.

He mobilized all the resources of Shrek Academy, issuing countless missions, all in an effort to find a Soul Master with the ultimate ice attribute.

However, how rare are ultimate attributes? They are a legend that might not appear even once among billions of Soul Masters.

He's been searching for so many years, but hasn't found a single clue.

He was almost in despair, forced to watch helplessly as Ma Xiaotao's future slid deeper and deeper into an abyss of despair. But now…

The hope he had been desperately seeking but could not obtain had unexpectedly come to him in such a dramatic and unbelievable way.

One of the three great kings of the far north, the Ice Emperor, must be the purest and most extreme ice, one hundred percent pure.

Yin Chen, who fused with Ice Emperor and obtained a second martial soul, would inevitably inherit this attribute.

'Xiao Tao... Xiao Tao is saved.'

Haha, Heaven hasn't forsaken Xiaotao!

Yan Shaozhe shouted with wild joy in his heart, his whole body trembling with excitement.

At this moment, he wished he could rush out of the Sea God Pavilion immediately, find Yin Chen, and verify everything.

The other elders did not blame Yan Shaozhe for his loss of composure.

Ma Xiaotao's matter was not a secret within the Sea God Pavilion.

They all understood Yan Shaozhe's feelings at that moment.

“A miracle…this is simply an unheard-of miracle…”

Cai Meier also stood up, her eyes filled with tears, and murmured to herself.

"Using ferocious beasts as martial spirits... this is beyond our understanding of martial spirit theory..."

Old Master Zhuang stroked his long beard and said with a sense of awe.

Of all those present, only Mu En, seated at the head of the table, remained calm.

"quiet."

Mu En spoke calmly, his voice not loud, yet it seemed to carry a strange power that instantly calmed the ecstatic Yan Shaozhe and the shocked crowd.

Yan Shaozhe realized his loss of composure. He took a few deep breaths and sat down again, but his eyes remained fixed on Zhang Lexuan, filled with urgency.

"Okay, everyone sit down."

Moon's gaze swept over the crowd.

"Now is not the time to get excited, Lexuan, continue."

After a brief commotion, another senior member, Elder Lin Huiqun, raised a crucial question.

Her expression was much calmer than the others, and her focus was completely different.

"Le Xuan, let's not worry about that kid Yin Chen for now. What I'm more concerned about is why Bing Di is seriously injured and on the verge of death?"

Her voice was deep and heavy.

"To be able to drive a ferocious beast with nearly 400,000 years of cultivation to a dead end, the opponent's strength must be extraordinary. What exactly happened in the far north?"

Old Lin's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's burning enthusiasm.

Yes.

Behind every incredible opportunity lies a potentially enormous crisis.

A being capable of severely injuring the Ice Emperor can also pose a threat to Shrek Academy.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats again.

However, Zhang Lexuan shook her head regretfully when faced with this question.

A hint of helplessness appeared on her face.

"Mr. Lin, I cannot give a definite answer on this point."

"After merging with Yin Chen, Hyotei immediately fell into a deep sleep and has not awakened since."

"Could it be the Snow Empress? Or the Titan Snow Demon King? Is there infighting among the soul beasts of the far north?"

Xuanzi guessed.

"I can't be sure."

Zhang Lexuan shook her head.

"But I have a feeling that this incident in the far north is very likely related to the Nirvana Corpse that we have been investigating."

"After all, the Nirvana Corpses had been unusually gathering in the far north on a large scale before, so it's hard for me not to think about them."
