Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 106 Seeing Lan Ran Again

Nottingham!

Because of the turmoil in the Tiandou Empire and the destruction of the Barak Kingdom, the residents in the vicinity were filled with anxiety and fear that the war would affect their small county town.

However, all of this had little to do with Yu Xiaogang and Tang San at the Notting Junior Soul Master Academy. One of them was currently engrossed in researching the second awakening of martial souls, while the other was on his bed in the work-study dormitory, looking at the Blue Silver Grass in his hand and pondering.

"Xiao San, what are you doing?!" Xiao Wu, who had just entered the room, saw Tang San sitting on the bed in a daze and asked with a curious look.

"I didn't do anything! I was just thinking about whether it was the right choice to make the first spirit ring of Blue Silver Grass a 750-year-old Mandragora Snake!" Tang San put away the Blue Silver Grass, which was now covered with dark red patterns, and looked at Xiao Wu with a smile.

Although Li Fei's presence caused some changes to the plot, Tang San's first spirit ring was still the Mandragora Snake, and his spirit skill was still Entanglement.

Upon hearing that it was because of acquiring a soul beast, Xiao Wu's embroidered eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said in a slightly low voice, "Wasn't this soul ring chosen for you by the Grandmaster?! Why do you think it's unsuitable?!"

"That's true. After absorbing the Mandragora Serpent's martial soul, the Blue Silver Grass has become much stronger and its extension distance has increased significantly. It even carries the Mandragora Serpent's venom. But is the Mandragora Serpent really suitable for the Blue Silver Grass?!"

Tang San was somewhat confused, the words Li Fei had used to dismiss Body-type Soul Masters within the Body-type Sect kept echoing in his mind—"Body-type Martial Soul, just hearing that, it's related to the body..."

Since the main spirit is related to the body, does that mean the Blue Silver Grass spirit is more suitable for plant spirit beasts?

"I don't really understand this either, but my first spirit ring was absorbed from a 400-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit!" Xiao Wu smiled and casually made up the origin of her first spirit skill.

"To be honest, I still know too little about martial spirits and spirit beasts!"

At this moment, Tang San was filled with an intense thirst for knowledge about martial souls, and he focused his attention on Yu Xiaogang's collection of books.

Leaving aside Yu Xiaogang's achievements in research, his knowledge reserves and book collection are comprehensive in both quantity and variety, a fact that even Li Fei cannot deny.

After speaking with Xiao Wu, Tang San went to Yu Xiaogang's office. He glanced around and spotted the book he wanted, then reached out and took it down, looking at Yu Xiaogang beside him.

"Teacher, I'll borrow this book for now!"

"..."

Yu Xiaogang didn't speak, but waved his hand, indicating that Tang San could take it. His mind was completely focused on the second awakening of his martial soul, wanting to become stronger through the second awakening. He had no way to pay attention to Tang San's question!

A hint of disappointment flashed in Tang San's eyes. Then he picked up the book and walked towards me, intending to study and find information on his own to plan his future soul ring configuration, instead of using the ones Yu Xiaogang had suggested to him.

……

Inside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Li Fei slowly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise in them.

"No wonder the mainstream cultivation method in this world is meditation, yet I've never heard of anyone reaching a state of deep concentration. It turns out that the residual spiritual consciousness of soul beasts can affect the state of meditation!"

Just as Li Fei had reached the Lesser Meditation stage and was preparing to enter the Greater Meditation stage, the roar of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger suddenly echoed in his mind, interrupting his cultivation.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Entering a meditative state is a process of expelling inner demons, and the soul beast imprint in a soul master's sea of ​​consciousness would naturally prevent the soul master from reaching this state in order to avoid disappearing.

However, Li Fei's situation is different. He had already removed the marks of the first five soul rings by exploding the rings and reached the Lesser Stability realm, thus surpassing the initial stage. Moreover, he could also remove the mark of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger by exploding the rings.

As for the seventh spirit ring, Li Fei did not sense the mark of the Chongming Bird, so naturally he didn't need to.

"The ones inside the spirit rings are fine, but the mark of the Holy Illusion Demon Ape inside this Wisdom Skull is a problem. Not only that, this skull is actually affecting my cultivation of the Divine Indestructible Realm."

Of course, Li Fei did not regret absorbing the Wisdom Skull. The effects and benefits this soul bone brought him were enormous. The improvement in mental strength alone was enough, not to mention the two abilities of wisdom enhancement and accelerated thinking.

Li Fei is currently only troubled by how to completely refine the Rose Soul Bone, so that it can be completely integrated with him and no longer be one of his constraints.

Soul bones are not actual bones. In the Legend of the Dragon King, it has been confirmed that almost all soul bones are the soul cores of soul beasts. After death, they become the most distinctive features of the creatures in life. For example, spirit-type soul beasts mostly have their heads, strength-type soul beasts mostly have their arms, speed-type soul beasts mostly have their legs, and those with strong overall strength have their torso bones.

Therefore, the soul bone is the product of the fusion of the spiritual power and soul power of the soul beast. This is why Li Fei found it even more troublesome than the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, because the soul beast imprint inside the soul bone was too deeply engraved.

"Am I really going to destroy this soul bone?!"

With the devouring ability of the Dark Demon God Tiger, coupled with his meditative mental state, Li Fei was fully capable of absorbing the Wisdom Skull from his own skull little by little. However, he was somewhat reluctant to part with the wisdom bonus and accelerated thinking ability brought by the Wisdom Skull.

"Forget it, hesitation only leads to more trouble. Once my spiritual realm reaches a higher level, the wisdom I gain will be no less than that of this wisdom skull!"

After hesitating for a while, Li Fei made up his mind, slowly closed his eyes, and focused his mind on the area near his brain. He immediately felt the soul power inside his skull that did not belong to his body.

The moment his mind touched upon it, a series of ape howls echoed in his mind, warning Li Fei.

"Unfortunately, you're just an ordinary spirit-attribute soul beast, posing no threat to me in your current state!"

The spiritual power condensed into a mystical millstone, which began to erase the spiritual imprint of the Holy Illusion Demon Ape. With each trace erased, a trace of soul power within the soul bone was absorbed by Li Fei.

In this way, Li Fei secluded himself in the Yin-Yang Well for a full week before he completely erased the spiritual imprint of the Holy Illusion Demon Ape. At the same time, the soul bone was also completely transformed into soul power and absorbed by Li Fei.

Li Fei never wants to experience the pain he went through during that time again.

The moment the skull of wisdom disappeared, Li Fei felt an unprecedented sense of relief. Every cell in his body began to activate, as if the shackles on his body had been broken, and the speed at which he absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth also increased significantly.

"It seems I made the right choice by sheer coincidence!"

A look of joy flashed in Li Fei's eyes. Not only that, after absorbing the soul power of the Wisdom Skull, his soul power also increased by one level, reaching level seventy-four. His distraction control had also reached the highest level of the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart, allowing him to use seven things at once without affecting his own strength.

Li Fei rose and handed a few drops of blood to the two immortal herbs, gently stroking them twice. Then, he transformed into a streak of light and arrived at the Body Sect.

Now that Oscar and the others can enter a deep sleep state on their own, Li Fei no longer needs to hypnotize them. So after guiding them in their cultivation, he changed into ordinary clothes and strolled around Tian Dou City.

He wanted to relax, so he went to the Zijin Hotel, ordered a lot of his favorite dishes, and sat by the window, observing and listening at the same time.

"Xue'er is quick! I didn't expect her to take away a portion of military power from Golong so quickly. Perhaps this is because Golong tacitly approved it!"

Those who can dine at the Zijin Hotel are at least nobles of Tiandou City, and they are far more aware of the changes in the empire's situation than ordinary people. Li Fei easily learned about the intelligence from this period of time.

As for why it is said to be the result of Goron's tacit approval, it is entirely because Goron, who was able to become the Imperial Marshal, was quite intelligent and naturally understood that Qian Renxue wanted to build her own team, so he took the opportunity to gradually hand over the power in his hands.

"That's good, at least we'll have something to say to Goryeo later!"

Li Fei smiled and continued to relax in Tian Dou City. He even went to the theater to watch a few plays about Douluo Continent and found that they all told the story of the Angel God.

……

Inside the Papal Palace in Wuhun City.

Bibi Dong put down the intelligence in her hand, her embroidered eyebrows furrowed, and her eyes were filled with solemnity. She waved her hand to the side, and Ju and Gui next to her nodded before disappearing into a cloud of black mist.

"Things are getting beyond my expectations. If this continues, everything I've done will just be a waste of time and effort!"

The intelligence contained information about Qian Renxue's actions during this period, as well as some of the things Qian Daoliu had arranged. Every single one of these actions was paving the way for Qian Renxue, with the ultimate goal of having her inherit the throne.

She would absolutely not agree to this, not even if Qian Renxue was her daughter.

"It seems I need to accelerate the inheritance of the Rakshasa God! Otherwise, once Qian Renxue and Li Fei grow up, I really won't have a chance!"

A purple scythe mark appeared on Bibi Dong's forehead, her eyes flashed with a fierce light, and bursts of killing intent instantly erupted, spreading throughout the entire Spirit Hall.

……

Inside the Body Sect, Li Fei suddenly felt a chill and involuntarily shivered.

"Someone's watching me! Who is it?!"

Li Fei's face was solemn. There were not many people in the entire Douluo Continent who could pose a threat to him. Only the Super Douluo were there. However, apart from the Spirit Hall and Seagod Island, there were only the Three Upper Sects among the Super Douluo on the continent. He had never heard of such beings in other places.

After thinking for a long time, Li Fei couldn't recall offending any Super Douluo or faction. In the end, unable to think of anything, he stopped thinking about it.

When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it! What we need to do now is seize the time to improve our strength.

Thinking of this, Li Fei decided to set off for the far north to find the Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow. Relying solely on the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes for cultivation was still a bit too slow. Unfortunately, people in the Douluo World didn't really pursue rare and precious materials, and there were even fewer records of them. He didn't know that there were other treasures that could increase soul power.

Another reason for going to the far north is to find the location of the Peerless Dragon Gate, which is near Dragon City. The underground ice cave contains the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow and the Extreme Ice Divine Crystal.

After giving Qian Renxue a few words of advice, Li Fei set off for the far north.

The far north is one of the three major gathering places for spirit beasts on the continent. It is a remote place with sparse human presence and blizzards that blow all year round. It is also protected by the two Ice and Snow Emperors and is a paradise for ice-attribute spirit beasts.

Even on the outskirts, the temperature is below -40 degrees Celsius, while inside it reaches -70 or -80 degrees Celsius, and in the core area it is below -100 degrees Celsius.

Li Fei walked in this environment wearing only a single layer of clothing. The biting cold wind and blizzard had no effect on him whatsoever, and there was not even the white breath that ordinary soul masters would exhale.

"Those most familiar with this far north are none other than the Ice and Snow Emperors. The only way to quickly find a large amount of ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow is to try and obtain it from these two beasts! However, the Ice Emperor is relatively easy to deal with, but the Snow Emperor's cultivation is terrifying; I'm no match for her!"

As Li Fei headed towards the core area of ​​the far north ice plains, he began to ponder.

At this time, the Snow Empress's cultivation level should have reached 690,000 years, which is equivalent to the peak of level 96 among Soul Masters. Moreover, her true form is a being formed from the purest ice-attribute elemental energy of heaven and earth, the Ice Heaven Snow Maiden. Her strength is in no way inferior to that of a Limit Douluo.

"It's best to avoid the two emperors as much as possible to reduce unnecessary trouble!"

Thinking of this, Li Fei's aura instantly dropped, eventually approaching mine, and he became as inconspicuous as a snowflake in a snowy landscape.

They soon arrived at the inner area, where Li Fei discovered that the number of soul beasts had increased, and their rarity had also risen considerably.

Soul beasts such as the Frost Tiger and Snow Demon Ape can also be seen.

"Bing'er, run!" A familiar shout suddenly came from afar. Although it was very faint in the wind and snow, Li Fei's five senses were amazing, so he heard it very clearly.

"That's Lan Ran's voice!"

Li Fei instantly remembered who the voice belonged to, and, somewhat curious, followed the sound.

Soon, a ten-year-old girl with beautiful blue hair was seen running towards them at full speed. In the distance, Lan Ran was using her Ice Crystal Martial Soul to fight against more than a dozen ice bears, including some that were ten thousand years old, and even one that was forty thousand years old.

However, Lan Ran's cultivation level was barely at the Soul King level. How could she possibly be a match for these ice bears? You must know that ice bears are the second strongest bear species after the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Once they reach the ten-thousand-year ice attribute, they will transform into the ultimate ice. Attacking ice bears with ice is simply courting death.

Moreover, as a bear-type soul beast, the Ice Bear's strength and defense are among the best of its kind among soul beasts of the same age.

"That silly woman!"

Li Fei sighed helplessly, then instantly exerted force with his feet, transforming into a streak of light and arriving at the battlefield in a flash. He casually wrapped his arms around Lan Ran's slender waist, protecting her behind him. His domineering aura rose up, and his eyes coldly looked at the dozen or so ice bears that had stopped fighting and were trembling.

"roll!"

With just a soft shout, more than a dozen ice bears turned and fled, their soul power erupting continuously, reaching their absolute speed, and disappearing into the snowstorm in the blink of an eye.

Lan Ran had prepared herself to die, but Li Fei saved her like a god descending from heaven, making her unconsciously gaze at the handsome man in front of her with infatuation, her mind filled with endless fantasies.
