Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 195 The Holy Mark of the Ice and Snow Maiden

The fusion with the Snow Emperor's Holy Mark went smoothly. A blood-red pattern appeared on Ji Lin's back, the pattern resembling a snowflake.

Without needing to modify the torso bones or fuse soul rings, simply fusing the Snow Empress's holy mark didn't take much time.

At the same time, Xue Di also established a connection between the Holy Mark and her torso bones and soul rings, so that the age of the soul rings and soul bones would increase simultaneously as the Holy Mark improved along with Ji Lin.

The moment the fusion was successful, all the information about the Holy Mark appeared in Ji Lin's mind.

The Snow Emperor's 700,000-year-old Ice and Snow Maiden Stigmata adds Soul Power and Attack Power to Ji Lin, and the Stigmata Skill it brings is Ice and Snow Control.

Ice and snow mastery, as the name suggests, is the ability to freely manipulate ice and snow, which perfectly matches the Snow Empress's identity as the chosen one of the far north, an elf born of ice and snow.

Both Snow Empress and Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm became Ji Lin's Stigmata, and both brought Ji Lin attribute boosts and a powerful Stigmata skill.

What Ji Lin found somewhat regrettable was that Electrolux was merely a wisp of divine consciousness, lacking any so-called genetic information, making it impossible for him to become Ji Lin's sacred mark. Otherwise, given Electrolux's power and uniqueness, it's unknown what kind of sacred mark skill he would have brought to Ji Lin.

Ji Lin was initially quite looking forward to it.

In fact, if the genetic information of soul beasts can be made into holy marks, then theoretically the genetic information of powerful soul masters can also be made into holy marks. The martial souls of humans in Douluo Continent are originally a bloodline inheritance, which can also be said to be a genetic inheritance.

If Moon's genetic information is extracted to create a Holy Mark, then the Soul Ring that the Holy Mark provides to the host will most likely be the Holy Dragon Soul Ring of Light.

But this requires a lot of research and experimentation, which Ji Lin doesn't have the time or inclination to do.

However, one thing is certain: once the Holy Marks spread, someone will definitely study them. Once many people study them, and thousands or even tens of thousands of years have passed, the technology to create Holy Marks using human genetic information will surely emerge. Perhaps they will even develop a technology to create themselves into perfect Holy Marks and achieve alternative immortality.

Of course, these are all just speculations. Ji Lin wouldn't bother to research these things; the current technology for creating Sacred Marks is already impressive enough for him.

After saying goodbye to Chi Yuan, Ji Lin returned to Shrek Academy. He would then need to take a long leave to go to the far north, and he didn't know when he would be able to return. He also needed to find the fifth soul ring for the Heavenly Fire Judgment.

Ji Lin was not prepared to tell others about the Holy Marks right now. He planned to make it public after he returned from the far north. He also wanted to inform Xu Jiujiu that the Star Crown lineage had treated him well, and he intended to repay the Star Crown Sect. Therefore, he could share the artificial Holy Mark production technology with the Star Crown Sect, while keeping the perfect Holy Mark production technology in the Zizai Sect. This was partly to repay their kindness and partly to find allies.

The appearance of the Holy Mark is destined to impact the existing system of Douluo Continent. If only the Zizai Sect can make the Holy Mark, then the Zizai Sect may become the enemy of the entire continent. Although Chi Yuan is very strong, apart from the dead Gu Yue Na, it is no exaggeration to say that she is the number one on the continent right now.

However, even the strongest can be overpowered. Apart from Chi Yuan, the Zizai Sect has no other strong members. In that case, even the safety of its disciples when they go out cannot be guaranteed.

Therefore, Zizai Sect needs allies. If Xingguan Sect also cannot withstand the pressure, he is also prepared to cooperate with Shrek Academy.

His relationship with Shrek Academy is currently quite friendly. Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao are destined to be high-ranking members of Shrek Academy in the future. If Ma Xiaotao's martial soul evolves into the Ultimate Flame, she may even have the opportunity to inherit the position of the Sea God Pavilion Master. At that time, the Sea God Pavilion will also be under the Ji family name.

Even if Ma Xiaotao is not suitable, Zhang Lexuan is the first in line to succeed the Sea God Pavilion, and she will still have to take the surname Ji.

In order for Shrek Academy to bear the surname Ji in the future, Ji Lin will do his best to help the two girls grow.

Not long after Ji Lin returned to Shrek Academy, he heard from Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er that Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan had all passed the inner court assessment and were now in seclusion in the inner court for intensive training. Obviously, they had entered the cultivation paradise that each inner court disciple could only enter once, which was the place where Ji Lin and the other three had once secluded themselves.

In the past few months, Wang Dong'er's cultivation level has approached that of a Soul Master, while Xiao Xiao is still a little short. Ever since Wang Dong'er was defeated by Wang Qiu'er, she has been working hard and has stopped slacking off. Her cultivation level has been rising rapidly. It can only be said that she is indeed worthy of being the daughter of a God King. Her cultivation talent is truly exaggerated. As twin martial souls, Xiao Xiao is completely unable to keep up with Wang Dong'er's speed.

Of course, the Taixu Sword Qi also played a role in this.

However, it cannot be denied that, in terms of cultivation speed alone, few people can compare with Wang Dong'er.

Aside from Xiao Hongchen, who was on drugs, but that was achieved by overdrawing his potential, Wang Dong'er cultivated on her own.

There's not much to compare between the two.

Ji Lin first applied for leave from the academy, and Yan Shaozhe readily approved it. He didn't intend for Ji Lin to go out with the academy's soul-hunting team to obtain soul rings, as he knew that Ji Lin always had a Limit Douluo by his side, and Ji Lin didn't need to go through the trouble of hunting souls with the main group.

Afterwards, Ji Lin went to the Soul Guidance Department to find Huo Yuhao, asking him to help acquire a soul tool for extracting soul beast genetic information. Although this type of soul tool was practically useless and classified as a civilian soul tool, it was difficult to manufacture and reached a level five, beyond Huo Yuhao's capabilities. Almost no students in the Soul Guidance Department could produce such a device. Ultimately, Huo Yuhao asked his teacher, Fan Yu, to manufacture one and sell it to Ji Lin. For an eighth-level soul master like Fan Yu, manufacturing a level five soul tool was not difficult.

However, it would be very difficult to get an eighth-level soul master to help. Fan Yu only made this soul tool for Ji Lin because of Huo Yuhao and Zhou Yi, since he was not familiar with Ji Lin.

If you ask Xu Jiujiu for help, you can also get other Soul Masters to make it, but it won't be as fast.

Fan Yu made this level-five soul tool for Ji Lin in just half a day.

It is worth mentioning that after the conclusion of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, Starlight Auction House indeed established a branch in Shrek City.

As expected, Wang Yan became engrossed in the ocean of knowledge. Shrek Academy rewarded him with the privilege of entering the Shrek Library to study, and he spent all his time there, even sleeping among piles of books.

They completely forgot their agreement with the elegant auctioneer from Starlight Auction House.

Because Ji Lin had specifically mentioned this matter to Xu Jiujiu, the person in charge of opening a branch at Shrek Academy this time was Auctioneer Qingya. If Ji Lin hadn't received news that Starlight Auction House had opened a branch in Shrek City and that the person in charge was Qingya, he would have forgotten about it.
