Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

"And because of the immortal herb, the flame attribute of my second soul ring has reached its peak."

"Therefore, I thought that I might as well take this opportunity to add an ice attribute spirit ring with the ultimate attribute to my seventh spirit ring."

"Ice attribute..."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin murmured the word over and over, his eyebrows slightly raised.

"That's right, ice attribute."

Wang Teng's tone was extremely serious as he continued, "My idea is to use the ultimate fire of the second soul ring, combined with the ultimate ice of the seventh soul ring, and work with the dual ice and fire soul cores that have already formed in my body, to finally condense the ultimate power of ice and fire."

"In this way, ice and fire within me are no longer mutually restraining, but rather complementing each other."

"Ice fuels fire, and fire melts ice; the two extreme forces rotate endlessly, which should be able to unleash power far exceeding that of a single attribute."

The council chamber fell silent for a moment.

The three people, Ning Fengzhi, and Ning Fengzhi, reacted differently.

Ning Fengzhi remained silent, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest of the chair, as if weighing the pros and cons.

Bone Douluo Gu Rong frowned slightly, seemingly pondering just how difficult it was to hunt a soul beast with the ultimate ice.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin, however, had a glint in his eyes and a slow smile on his lips.

"The ultimate in both ice and fire..."

Chen Xin chewed on the word, then suddenly laughed, a hearty and unrestrained laugh.

"Good lad, you've got guts."

His smile caused the faint killing intent around him to tremble, like the ringing sound of a sharp sword being drawn from its sheath.

Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong both glanced at him. Having known Chen Xin for so many years, they knew him all too well. This old guy rarely truly appreciated someone, but once he said "good," it meant he had truly caught his eye.

"By the way, kid Wang, besides ice attribute, what other requirements do you have?"

Chen Xin put away her smile and spoke seriously.

"I also require that the spirit beast should preferably be a dragon-type spirit beast."

Wang Teng answered immediately.

"I see..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin stroked his chin in thought.

"Soul beasts with extreme ice attributes are already rare, and ice-attribute dragon-type soul beasts... are you sure you want to choose a dragon?"

Wang Teng nodded, his gaze firm: "I'm sure."

"An ice-attribute dragon-type soul beast is the most suitable choice I can think of at the moment."

"Dragon-type soul beasts are born with strong bodies, and their soul rings are among the best in quality among those of the same cultivation level."

"My seventh spirit ring is the key to my Martial Soul True Body, and I cannot afford to be careless in the slightest. Since I have to choose, I will choose the best one."

"Ice Dragon..."

Chen Xin murmured these two words, a thoughtful look appearing between his brows.

Throughout his life, he traveled far and wide, encountering countless spirit beasts, including some ice-attribute dragon spirit beasts.

However, these things are rare and mostly hidden in remote, frigid places, so an ordinary soul master might not encounter one in their entire life.

"Ice-attribute dragon-type soul beasts are not widely distributed."

Chen Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Several large ice fields may exist on the continent, but the most concentrated area is still the far north."

"It's a place of freezing cold and sparse human presence, a paradise for ice-attribute soul beasts, and dragons are no exception."

"However, the further you go into the far north, the more dangerous it becomes. The outer areas are manageable, but if you venture deep into the core area..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng suddenly raised his head and met Chen Xin's gaze.

"Grandpa Sword, the place I plan to hunt souls this time is the far north."

"The far north is quite dangerous, but Grandpa Sword is currently level 99, and I also know a bit about the spirit beasts here..."

Looking at Wang Teng's expression, Ning Fengzhi said seriously, "Tell me in detail."

Wang Teng thought for a moment and said carefully, "Deep in the far north, there live three extremely powerful ferocious beasts."

"The three ferocious beasts?"

Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, frowned. He had vaguely heard of this name, but had never looked into it.

Wang Teng nodded, his expression becoming much more solemn: "The first one is named Snow Emperor, the undisputed king of the far north."

"There are rumors that she is a snow-attribute soul beast that has cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, and her strength is unfathomable."

"The second one is named Ice Emperor. It is an Ice Jade Scorpion with a cultivation level of over hundreds of thousands of years. Its ice poison and extreme ice power make countless powerful people tremble with fear."

"The third one is named Titan Snow Demon King. He is the king of the Titan Snow Demon clan. He is as big as a mountain and his strength is unparalleled in the far north. Although his cultivation is not as good as the first two, it is enough to make most of the titled Douluo dare not act rashly."

"By the way, when we were adventuring in the far north, we encountered the Titan Snow Demon King."

"I see..."

After listening to Wang Teng's account, Ning Fengzhi's brows furrowed tightly.

"A soul beast with hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation..."

He repeated it in a low voice, his tone tinged with apprehension.

Although Ning Fengzhi is the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the owner of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, even he has to think twice before facing a ferocious beast of this level.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin's reaction was even more direct.

After listening to Wang Teng's account, he didn't rush to speak, but closed his eyes, seemingly using his own experience and knowledge to assess the threat posed by these three ferocious beasts.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, and the blood-red glint in his eyes not only did not fade, but became even brighter.

"Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Titan Snow Demon King..."

Chen Xin pronounced the three names slowly and deliberately, as if weighing their significance.

Don't worry.

Chen Xin's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a reassuring certainty.

"I've remembered the three ferocious beasts you mentioned."

"However, I am now a level 99 Limit Douluo. On the Douluo Continent, unless a god descends to earth, no one can stop me."

"So, you can rest assured about this Soul Hunt."

Chen Xin paused, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Besides, we're not going to the far north to dig up the ancestral graves of the three great ferocious beasts, we're just going to find an ice dragon."

"The far north is so vast, I don't believe in such superstitions. We'll just have the luck to encounter a few ferocious beasts and catch up with them."

Ning Fengzhi laughed when he heard this.

He turned to look at Wang Teng, his eyes full of admiration and expectation: "Wang Teng, since you already have a complete plan and have Uncle Jian's protection, then this matter is settled."

"The matter of the seventh spirit ring should be addressed sooner rather than later. You should make preparations and set off on a chosen day."

Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, nodded and showed a rare relaxed smile: "With the old swordsman following me, this old bone of mine won't have to go to the far north to freeze."

"But Wang Teng, when you come back, remember to tell me what that ice dragon looks like."

The atmosphere in the hall relaxed completely at that moment.

The regrets about the divine assessment and the worries about the ferocious beasts of the far north were all overshadowed by this anticipation for the future.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin picked up his teacup, drank the slightly cooled tea in one gulp, then stood up and patted Wang Teng on the shoulder.

"Go and get ready!"

"I'll be waiting for you here on the day you leave."

Chapter 474 The Frost Abyss Dragon Appears

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

When Wang Teng left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it was still dark.

The morning mist shrouded the stone steps in front of the mountain gate, the dew dampened the grass on both sides of the steps, and the air carried a crisp, cool feeling.

He stood at the foot of the mountain gate, glanced back at the still-sleeping halls and pavilions within the sect, then turned around and strode toward Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who was waiting in front of him.

Today, Chen Xin changed into a dark blue robe, with a gray-white cloak over it, looking clean and neat.

"Let's go."

Chen Xin didn't say much and took the first step.

Wang Teng nodded and followed.

The two headed north.

Wang Teng had been to the far north once before. Although he hadn't gone very deep, he had gained a considerable understanding of the terrain and climate of the far north's outskirts.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's intelligence department had also prepared a map of the distribution of soul beasts in the far north, marking the territories, dangerous areas, and relatively safe routes of some soul beasts.

Combining the two factors, the trip north went much more smoothly than expected.

On the first day, they traversed a vast coniferous forest.

The snow in the forest was already ankle-deep, making a crunching sound as you walked on it.

Sword Douluo carried Wang Teng as they flew through the sky.

However, after flying a certain distance, they had to stop, land on the ground, and check the map and the surrounding terrain to confirm that they were on the right track.

Chen Xin stood silently beside Wang Teng, but her eyes constantly scanned the surroundings warily.

Before nightfall, they found a sheltered cave, lit a fire inside, ate some simple dry rations, and then rested.

Early the next morning, a blizzard swept in from the north without warning.

The snowflakes, as large as goose feathers, were whipped up by the gale and pelted against my face, stinging painfully.

Visibility dropped to less than ten steps, and it was difficult to even discern directions.

Based on his experience from the last trip to the far north, Wang Teng led Sword Douluo to a hollow under an ice cliff to temporarily shelter from the wind and snow.
