Douluo Continent: I can overdraft the future in advance

After taking the second Xuan Shui Pill, Luo Yun waited three days for the medicinal power to be fully absorbed before taking the third. The effect was indeed decreasing—after the second pill, he could still feel the warmth spreading and his meridians widening; after the third pill, the effect was much weaker.

However, with the three Xuan Shui Pills stacked together, his cultivation speed had almost reached the threshold of the seventh level of the Innate Realm.

A level seven innate talent is definitely among the best, even in Shrek Academy, without the system.

But Luo Yun knew in his heart that his advantages were never these, but rather his cultivation speed, which was several times that of a normal person, through the system, the ability to conduct various soul power experiments using the system without any cost, and his martial soul, which was suspected to be able to evolve and had the ultimate attributes.

After staying at home for five days, Luo Yun started to get restless.

What made him restless was the voice in his head.

While at school, there were basically no suitable reasons or times to go out and explore.

But after the holiday started, he was completely free and unrestrained.

He lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, several thoughts swirling in his mind.

The far north. Millennia-old ice marrow. Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

In the original story, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm fell into a cave containing ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow in the core area of ​​the far north. It absorbed the ice-attribute spiritual energy accumulated over ten thousand years within that ice marrow. The small piece of ice marrow it found at the root of the Ice Crystal Grass was at most a tiny scrap of the ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow.

With just that little bit of scrap material, his martial soul evolved from an ice sparrow into an ice falcon, and his second soul ring became a near-thousand-year-old one.

What if we could find the true marrow of ten-thousand-year-old ice?

The far north also holds other treasures, including various ice-attribute natural resources.

The next morning, he told them what had happened at the breakfast table.

"I'm going to the far north to gain experience."

Luo Xing's chopsticks stopped in mid-air as he glanced at him.

"how long?"

"One holiday. I'll be back before school starts."

Luo Xing was silent for a while, then put down his chopsticks, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and nodded.

Okay. Be careful.

Just four words. No further questions, no attempts to dissuade.

But after the meal, my parents still gave me a few more words of advice.

In the afternoon, Luo Yun went to see Master Fang.

Master Fang was carving a magic circle in his studio. After hearing his explanation of his purpose, he paused for a moment with his carving knife before continuing to draw lines.

"You're going to the far north alone?"

"one person."

Master Fang was silent for a moment, then put down his carving knife and took out a palm-sized silver bracelet from under the worktable.

"This is a storage soul guide with a capacity of fifty cubic meters," Master Fang said.

Luo Yun took the bracelet, weighed it in his hand, and found it to be very light.

Master Fang then turned around and took down items one by one from the shelf, placing them on the table as if he were counting weapons.

The first item was a black soul-guided cannon, its surface covered with dark red magic circle patterns.

"A level four soul-guided cannon. You've used it before and know its power. A single shot can even damage a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, but it consumes a lot of soul power. Think carefully before using it."

The second item was a palm-sized silver disc with a smooth surface and only a fine pattern engraved around the edge.

"Level 4 Invincible Shield. It can last for three seconds after soul power is activated, and even an attack from a seven-ring Soul Saint cannot penetrate it. Only three seconds, don't waste them."

The third item is a light blue circular badge with a shield pattern engraved on the front.

"Level 4 Soul Power Shield. Continuous type, can be maintained by inputting soul power, and can block the normal attacks of a four-ring Soul Master."

The fourth item was two milky-white bottles, with complex recovery arrays engraved on their bodies.

"Level 4 baby bottles. Each bottle contains the equivalent of the entire soul power of a fourth-ring Soul Master. Use it in times of crisis."

The fifth item is a pair of silver-white metal wings, which are only the size of a palm when folded, but two meters wide when unfolded, and the surface of the wings is engraved with light blue flight arrays.

"A level four flying soul tool. This one needs no introduction. It's very useful for traveling or running away."

Luo Yun looked at the soul tools spread out on the table, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Master, these things of yours—"

Master Fang interrupted him, his tone still calm, "This is basically all my works from this year."

He paused, looking at Luo Yun.

"You're my apprentice, who else should I give you to?"

Luo Yun remained silent for a few seconds, then put the items on the table into his storage bracelet one by one.

"Master, I'm leaving."

"Um."

He walked to the door and glanced back. Master Fang had already sat back down at his workbench, picked up his carving knife, and continued carving the unfinished magic array diagram without even looking up.

The next day at daybreak, Luo Yun set off, following the same old route, heading north to the northern border of the Douling Empire, crossing the border to the northern border of the Tianhun Empire, and entering the far north.

In just a day and a half, with the help of his flying soul tool, he arrived at the town he had visited before.

After resting in town for a night, Luo Yun recovered and set off.

Heading north from Icewind Town, the vegetation became increasingly sparse, and the temperature dropped lower and lower. After walking for half an hour, frozen ground began to appear beneath his feet. He activated his flying soul tool again, flying low to the ground. The ice layer on the ground grew thicker and thicker, transforming from scattered white frost into a vast ice field.

An hour later, he entered the outer edge of the far north.

He lowered his altitude, landed on the ground, retrieved his flight soul tool, and set off on foot northward.

This time, he had no specific goal. It wasn't to hunt a particular spirit beast, nor to obtain a spirit ring. He simply wanted to know what that attraction was.

As he walked, he recalled the information about the far north from the original work.

One of the three major gathering areas of soul beasts, known as the forbidden zone for humans, it is home to the Snow Empress and Ice Empress, two of the ten ferocious beasts, along with the Titan Snow Demon King, who are collectively known as the Three Kings of the Far North.

But right now, the Ice Emperor should be busy with the 400,000-year Heavenly Tribulation, the Snow Emperor should be considering whether to take human form during the 700,000-year Heavenly Tribulation, only Atai is still operating in the far north, and there is also the Snow Emperor's godson, the Ice Bear King Xiaobai.

In the original story, Tianmeng seems to have eaten more than one piece of the Ten Thousand Years of Frozen Ice Marrow. Thinking about it this way, I should be able to find some more, but I don't know how lucky I am.

Luo Yun shook his head, suppressing these thoughts for the time being and not thinking about anything else. His purpose in coming here was to operate in the outer and middle areas, searching for treasures rich in ice-attribute energy, while safely exploring the truth behind that sliver of attraction.

In terms of actual combat strength, with his level of a three-ring Soul Master, plus the 30% amplification from the Frozen Eagle's left arm bone, and the miniature meridians that have been opened in both arms and back, he should have no problem matching the combat strength of a four-ring Soul Master for a short period of time. As for Soul Beasts, he should be able to deal with the combat strength of Soul Beasts with a combat strength of about three thousand years. However, he also has the additional help of Soul Guidance Devices. Even if he can't defeat a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast, he should be able to escape.

Luo Yun took a deep breath, quickened his pace, and headed north.

The ice field stretched out beneath my feet, a vast expanse of white, with no end in sight.

Is that slight attraction in the core area a good thing or a bad thing for Luo Yun?
