Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 93 Quasi-demigod, true god, quasi-god: The Snow Empress's teasing and strange behavior.

After Xue Di and Bing Di had fully recovered from their injuries, more than ten days had passed.

Adding the previous month and a half, the total time is approximately two months.

Hyotei was the first to stand up. She stretched her energetic and powerful body, the cracking of her bones and the smile on her face proving that she was in a very good mood, and even the extremely cold aura around her seemed to have dissipated considerably.

Behind her, Xue Di slowly stood up. Looking at her fair and jade-like hands, a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips. She had undergone a great transformation, with changes in her temperament and appearance.

"Xue'er, you're so beautiful..."

Hyotei's excited voice rang out, and the next moment, her petite figure had already rushed into Yuki's arms.

Xue Di touched her face with one hand, then said with a slight smile:

"Is this what it feels like to truly reach 700,000 years of cultivation? It's like heaven and earth compared to before. I can feel that my strength has also entered a brand new level. I have to say, it's an intoxicatingly powerful force..."

Hyotei wrapped his arms around Yukiteri's waist, then smiled and said:

"Me too. Even after breaking through 400,000 years ago, the energy from those 10,000-year-old Xuanbing Marrow wasn't completely absorbed. But I was too lazy to improve my cultivation anymore, so I simply sealed it all within my origin. It'll be a little help to that kid later..."

Xue Di smiled gently. She released her spiritual power to investigate, and then her expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

Hyotei hadn't noticed anything amiss. Looking at Yuki-tei's slightly changed expression, she asked, somewhat puzzled:

"Xue'er, what's wrong?"

Xue Di paused slightly, her expression somewhat ambiguous, but then she chuckled and said:

"It's nothing, I just remembered some things and got distracted."

Hyotei, lost in the joy of her breakthrough, didn't notice anything amiss. She looked around and then said:

"Where are Shu Yan and Jiu Jiu? Why haven't they come out yet? Are they still sleeping?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shu Yan walked out from the ice gate with Xu Jiujiu, whose face was still slightly flushed. He breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the two of them, who were full of energy and radiant. But then, Bingdi jumped up and grabbed her by the neck.

"You, Shu Yan! With Xue'er and I making such a big commotion during our breakthroughs, you still dare to stay in bed! Tell me! Don't you need a good beating...?"

Shu Yan picked up Hyotei with one hand, then said somewhat speechlessly:

"They're getting increasingly rough..."

Hyotei struggled in mid-air, pursed their lips, and then said angrily:

"I don't care, you're just a little taller and have a little longer arms. That's not fair. If you're so capable, then fight me for real, and I'll teach you a lesson..."

Shu Yan rolled his eyes and said with a hint of helplessness:

"Grandma, if you hadn't controlled your punch, even an ordinary Title Douluo would have had their bones broken. My little body can't take that. Remember to be careful in the future. You really need to know your own strength..."

Hyotei turned his head away and snorted, then after a long while said:

"Alright, alright, I understand. I'll definitely try not to beat you to death like a bastard in the future..."

Shu Yan shook his head, then looked at Xue Di and asked with a smile:

"How does it feel?"

The Snow Empress smiled, then said softly:

"Very good. If Di Tian were to come to the far north again now, I would have a high chance of gaining the upper hand if neither side were to fight to the death."

Shu Yan smiled and then said:

"That would be best. If we consider the strength classification within the Limit Douluo realm as I know it, Sister Xue, your strength should be considered to have reached the peak of demigod. I can't say for sure whether you've entered the quasi-god level, since I haven't sensed the power of that level..."

Xue Di raised an eyebrow. Shu Yan's words piqued her interest. She lazily sat down on the throne, her long, fair, and shapely legs crossed, revealing a lot of her fair skin. However, she did not mind Shu Yan's gaze and simply gestured for him to continue.

Seeing that Xue Di had become interested, Shu Yan continued his explanation:

"Generally speaking, there is a huge gap in combat power among strong individuals at the same level, which is undeniable. The gap between those at the Limit Douluo level is even more terrifying and direct. Therefore, we can usually divide strong individuals who have entered the Limit Douluo level into three levels based on their combat power and cultivation."

"These three levels are respectively quasi-demigod, demigod, and quasi-god."

"However, on the other hand, the criteria for dividing these three levels are not only combat strength and cultivation level, but also include other very important aspects such as personal insights. But without a doubt, even the worst quasi-demigod is extremely rare in this era."

Xue Di frowned slightly, then slowly spoke:

"My strength... is it only at the peak of demigod level?"

Shu Yan smiled and shook his head, then began to explain:

"Of course not. Before you broke through 700,000 years ago, you already had the combat power of a demigod. This allowed you to fight Di Tian to a draw with the help of the power of heaven and earth in the far north. This means that you already had the combat power of a quasi-god in the far north at that time. Now that you have gone through the tribulation, you can actually be considered a quasi-god. However, this involves too many aspects, and I really can't assess it. So I have to compromise..."

After a pause, Shu Yan added:

"The difference in combat power between those of the same level is huge, Sister Xue. In the far north, your strength has truly put you on the same side as the Beast God Di Tian, ​​but outside the far north, you still won't be his match. It's just that you won't be as powerless as before..."

Xue Di was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Hyotei, standing to the side, couldn't wait to ask:

"Shu Yan, according to your method, what about me?"

Shu Yan directly reached out and ruffled Hyotei's hair without any fear, then he said with a smile:

You're still a long way off.

"With 400,000 years of cultivation, you can roughly contend with a quasi-demigod, or a powerhouse who has just entered the Limit Douluo realm, in the far north. Once you leave the far north, you'll be around level 98. However, with the existence of extreme attributes, your true combat strength is still open to discussion."

Hyotei gave a somewhat dejected "oh," looking rather disappointed. This was understandable; who wouldn't feel good after having cold water poured on them just as they were about to break through?

Xue Di chuckled and shook her head. After Shu Yan's analysis, she had a different perspective on her own strength, and at the same time, she felt a sense of awe for Di Tian's power.

Once upon a time, during her battle with Di Tian, ​​she realized that Di Tian had a true killing move he hadn't used. The title of Beast God was not something an ordinary person could bear, and Di Tian was indeed such a person. Xue Di always held a sense of awe towards the former. As a fellow ruler of the continent's soul beasts, she could better understand the immense pressure and hardship he carried...

After pondering for a while, Xue Di dismissed these thoughts. She recalled the scene she had just witnessed through her spiritual power, and a faint blush crept onto her face. Then, she slowly raised her beautiful eyes, her gaze sweeping over Shu Yan and Xu Jiujiu, her voice languid with a hint of teasing:

"Oh, and you two, you need to be more mindful of your behavior in the future, at least... don't... never mind, I won't say anything, you understand."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu was extremely embarrassed and quickly turned away, her face flushed.

Shu Yan's face stiffened for a moment, but seeing Xue Di's serious expression, he nodded slightly.

Throughout, Hyotei looked at the three of them with complete bewilderment, as if they had done something extraordinary behind his back...

……

To make the difference in combat power more obvious, I simply used the Douluo Continent III formula. However, this doesn't really have a big impact. I've been studying Douluo Continent II recently. I haven't read much of the original work, so writing fanfiction is a bit of a pain. But I've gained a deeper understanding recently, and I can roughly understand why my writing is so bad. As I said before, I'll correct it in the future!

Let me explain the update schedule. The results have been terrible, and I simply haven't been in the mood to write. I've also been busy with errands and medical checkups in the city, so updates have been quite irregular, but I've generally maintained a consistent 6 updates per day...
