Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul Master Ball, Beauty, Please Stay!

Chapter 43 This boy has the bearing of a sea god!

"Let me take a look; there's no need to panic!"

Moon's voice was gentle as he reached out and grabbed Jiang Yi's arm, his fingertips exploring and probing his bones and meridians.

The more he pressed, the more astonished he became.

This kid's physical strength is in no way inferior to that of a Soul King! No wonder he can withstand this ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.

As for mental shock, the soul beast isn't even dead yet, so where would the mental shock come from? — Hiss, thinking about it this way, this kid is terrifying!

Doesn't that mean that as long as your physical strength is up to par, subduing a 100,000-year-old soul beast or even a ferocious beast is a piece of cake?

After a few breaths, Mu En withdrew his hand and looked at Jiang Yi thoughtfully.

"Can your martial soul share a portion of the strength of your soul beast?"

Yan Shaozhe had already investigated Jiang Yi thoroughly. Given his family background, the changes in his physical body could only have originated from his martial spirit.

He had previously observed similar fluctuations in energy levels downstairs in the dormitory building.

"That's right. When my companions improve, they also give me some feedback on their strength, including their blood and soul power."

Jiang Yi nodded frankly, without hiding anything.

"This is the first time I've ever seen such a unique martial spirit in my life."

Mu En stroked his beard with emotion, his eyes filled with astonishment.

If that's true, wouldn't the more soul beasts you have, the faster you cultivate—and the faster you cultivate, the more soul beasts you have?

This child truly possesses the bearing of a sea god!

"However, your Ice Jade Scorpion—seems a little different."

Moon stared intently at the small, emerald-green scorpion, a thoughtful look in his eyes. He reached out, wanting to touch it.

But the next moment, the little scorpion perched on Jiang Yi's shoulder suddenly raised its stinger and viciously stung him.

"He's pretty fierce."

Moon withdrew his hand, chuckled lightly, and didn't seem to care.

This little thing won't let you touch it, but it's quite intelligent, much smarter than most ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

"Bingbing, stop fooling around!"

Jiang Yi reached out and picked up the little scorpion, then gently flicked her forehead with his fingertip.

"Roar~"

The little scorpion covered its forehead with its pincers, looked aggrieved, let out a low growl, and obediently retreated into Jiang Yi's palm.

Watching the interaction between the human and the beast, Mu En narrowed his eyes, his smile deepening.

"As far as I know, the Ice Jade Scorpion clan has always been arrogant. I wonder how you, young friend, managed to tame this little fellow?"

He paused, then added kindly.

"Of course, if it's inconvenient, you don't need to say anything more."

Even so, his gaze remained fixed on Jiang Yi, filled with scrutiny and curiosity.

Shrek City is located in the southeast of the Heavenly Soul Empire, quite far from the far north where the Ice Jade Scorpions inhabit.

Jiang Yi did not choose the closer Star Dou Great Forest, but went to the far north. This Ice Jade Scorpion—there must be another hidden story.

"this----"

Jiang Yi hesitated for a moment, but inwardly he was laughing.

I've been waiting for you to ask.

After a moment of contemplation, he gritted his teeth, as if he had made a momentous decision.

"Elder Mu, please take a look."

He reached down to his waist and a few deep blue crystals appeared in his palm.

The moment the Ice Crystal appeared, the temperature in the entire pavilion dropped several degrees, and wisps of cold air rose up.

This slight temperature change was insignificant to Moon, but the endless cold contained within the crystal piqued his interest greatly.

This was the first time he had ever seen this metal. Moreover, the purity of its chill was almost comparable to that of the finest ice.

"This is a rare mineral unique to the far north, called the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal. Each piece contains enough cold air to freeze dozens of miles away."

Seeing Mu En's confusion, Jiang Yi explained softly.

"Six months ago, the boy accidentally fell off a cliff in the Star Dou Great Forest, but he unexpectedly obtained a treasure map, which recorded a vein of Ice Extreme Divine Crystal."

"I was thinking of taking over the mine first to exchange for some resources to improve my strength—but I didn't expect that someone had already beaten me to it."

""

At this point, Jiang Yi scratched his head, picked up the small green scorpion on his shoulder, and fiddled with it in his palm for a few moments.

"Oh, could it be this?"

Moon smiled and looked at the little scorpion.

This seems to make sense; the Ice Jade Scorpion mutated because it ate rare and precious herbs.

"That's right! It's Bingbing."

Jiang Yi nodded with emotion and began to recount his "miraculous encounter".

"When I met her, she was devouring the Ice Extreme God Crystal, but at that time she was only at the thousand-year level."

"We fought over the mineral vein. The battle was so intense that we accidentally detonated it, burying us all a hundred meters underground—"

A hint of reminiscence appeared in his eyes, and his tone was tinged with lingering fear as he vividly recounted the extraordinary adventure of a young boy.

"In order to survive, we had to work together and dig for several days to dig a tunnel."

Hyotei, held in his palm, secretly rolled its eyes. This guy really doesn't even need to think before he lies.

"I see, you little rascal, you're quite lucky!"

Moon glanced at him, and some of the confusion in his heart dissipated.

Although there were many coincidences, reality is illogical, and he himself had experienced such bizarre opportunities.

"By sheer luck."

Jiang Yi touched his nose.

In the original story, Moon was a meticulous person. Rather than having him investigate in secret, it was better for him to take the initiative to reveal himself.

Whether he believes it or not, he has already given his reasons.

Compared to the Ice Emperor, one of the three great kings of the far north, becoming a spirit ring sounds more reasonable.

"Luck is also a part of strength."

Mu En waved his hand, his gaze falling on the few Ice Extreme God Crystals, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

This ore, containing the essence of ice, would be extremely beneficial in suppressing Xiao Tao's evil fire.

"The Ice Extreme Divine Crystals were mostly consumed by Bingbing when she advanced to the ten-thousand-year level, and this is all I have left. Keeping them is useless to me, so I might as well offer them to Elder Mu."

Jiang Yi blinked, understanding immediately, and pushed the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal in his hand directly in front of Mu En.

These Ice Crystals are defective products without Ice Spirit, perfect for doing favors.

"Hahaha!"

Looking at Jiang Yi's cautious manner, Mu En couldn't help but chuckle. What did he take me for?

However, this kid has a good eye!

"I do need these few Ice Extreme Divine Crystals of yours. However, the academy cannot take them for free."

With a wave of his hand, he put away several Ice Extreme Divine Crystals, then looked at Jiang Yi with a smile.

"Come with me!"

After saying that, Moon waved his hand again, and the surrounding space rippled slightly, causing a dizzying sensation.

When Jiang Yi's vision returned, the two of them found themselves in a dimly lit secret room.

The candlelight flickered, its glow uncertain.

The secret room was very large, about the size of a football field, and contained hundreds of neatly arranged wooden shelves.

Moon led him through the first few rows to the two shelves in the middle.

In the candlelight, the items on the shelf shimmered with various colors, including ancient books and sealed jade boxes.

"These are the academy's treasured artifacts and secret techniques, kept for thousands of years. You may choose any two items from these two shelves to take with you."
