Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 142: Condensing the First Soul Core, Ice Emperor's Distress
In the core circle.

In the past two days, Shu Yan and his companions were not in a hurry to leave the Far North.

The reason is very simple. Shu Yan is already preparing to start condensing his first soul core.

When a soul master's soul power is cultivated to the Titled Douluo level, the soul power in his body will change from its original liquid state to a solid state.

When the soul master completes the solidification of soul power, he will reach the bottleneck of Titled Douluo. Only after successfully condensing the first soul ring can he break through the Titled Douluo realm. Only after obtaining the ninth soul ring can he officially have the title and become a true Titled Douluo.

However, this bottleneck is extremely difficult to overcome for most soul masters. The number of Soul Douluo on the mainland is at least six to seven times that of Titled Douluo. Many people clearly have the potential to break through to Titled Douluo, but in the end they stop at level 89. The reason lies here.

The cultivation of solid soul power is extremely difficult. It is completely different from the cultivation of liquid soul power. Solid soul power can no longer circulate in the meridians, and at this time, the function of the soul core is revealed.

Soul core, as the name implies, is the core of soul power. Generally, soul masters will only appear when they break through the Title Douluo level, but Shu Yan is different. His martial soul is too powerful. With the blood of God, the total amount of soul power that can be stored is more than that of ordinary strong men who have just entered the Title Douluo level, and the quality is also higher.

Condensing a soul core may be an extremely difficult task for ordinary soul masters, but for him, it is not a difficult task.

The total amount and quality of his soul power fully met the requirements, and there was even a trend of transforming from liquid to solid. His physical fitness was also fully qualified. After so many years of opportunities and transformations, he possessed a strong body far beyond that of soul masters of the same level. As for his mental power, there was even less to say.

The function of the Hundred Thousand Years of Longing Dew is far beyond the reach of ordinary people. It not only greatly expanded and stabilized Shu Yan's spiritual sea, but also greatly improved Shu Yan's mental strength. The characteristics of the Ice and Snow Girl's martial spirit allowed his mind to remain at a "pure" level, which was also a great benefit to the improvement of mental strength. At the very least, do you really think that Yi Lao is just here to eat for nothing?
Sitting cross-legged in the center of the Snow Emperor Palace, Shu Yan adjusted his breath, and then began to circulate his soul power according to the secret method given by Xu Jiawei.

A faint ice-blue soul power appeared beside him, and then slowly condensed in front of him. Shu Yan continued to slowly inject the soul power. The soul power gradually increased and began to slowly rotate.

Under Shu Yan's control, the soul power rotated faster and faster, and began to slowly compress. During this rotation and compression process, Shu Yan slowly increased the output of soul power. Visibly, the ice-blue soul power began to change into a viscous form, but the rotation speed of the small vortex was getting faster and faster. Shu Yan's mental power firmly guarded the surroundings, preventing any leakage of the soul power.

On the other side, Bingdi had a look of worry on her face. She leaned against the cold wall and chose to stay here to protect Shu Yan. Firstly, she was worried about some accidents, and secondly, she was simply worried about Shu Yan.

In a trance, Shu Yan's figure and Xue Di's figure appeared alternately. Bing Di shook her head in annoyance, not quite understanding what she was thinking about. Her distress continued to spread. She was obviously not as clear as Xue Di. She could even say that she was forcing herself to accept everything she thought instead of facing the reality.

……

As time went by, Shu Yan's soul power finally changed from liquid to solid. Shu Yan's expression became a little serious. None of the next steps could go wrong, otherwise, everything would fail.

The soul power was still spinning rapidly, repeating the process of compression and rotation. Slowly, a soul power shape that looked no different from a small funnel appeared. As soon as it appeared, the surrounding heaven and earth elemental forces seemed to be greatly attracted and gathered here at a rapid speed.

The core circle of the Far North is the best gathering place for ice-attributed heaven and earth elemental energy. The ice-attributed heaven and earth elemental energy here is even richer than that of the Extreme Cold Yin Spring. In fact, the original Extreme Cold Yin Spring is not bad, but because Shu Yan and a few others absorbed too much, the ice-attributed heaven and earth elemental energy there became a little "deficient in the kidney" and it takes some time to replenish. The Far North is vast, and the heaven and earth elemental energy is incomparably abundant. As long as Shu Yan is not a bottomless pit, it can fully meet any of Shu Yan's requirements.

A steady stream of Heaven and Earth Yuan Force was absorbed by the small funnel, and a faint vortex shadow appeared over the entire Snow Emperor Palace. The Ice Emperor yawned, and then paused. She looked at Shu Yan in disbelief. The Heaven and Earth Yuan Force that Shu Yan absorbed was really too huge.

If it succeeds stably, it's fine. But if he's not careful, then the final result is too much for Bingdi to think about. He's afraid that the area within a few miles will be flattened directly...

However, seeing Shu Yan's still calm expression, Bingdi sighed softly and chose to believe Shu Yan.

...Time passed by little by little, and the solid soul power in front of Shu Yan had absorbed more than 70% of his own soul power. The heaven and earth elemental power it absorbed was so huge that it was unimaginable. A faint golden light burst out near the solid soul power, and then slowly took on a hint of ice blue. This was the attribute of the solid soul power. Shu Yan had only one martial soul, which was the martial soul of the Ice and Snow Girl of Ultimate Ice. Therefore, his first soul ring would only be of the Ultimate Ice attribute. Now, the condensation of Shu Yan's soul core has entered the final step.

Black cracks appeared around the solid soul power, from which countless spatial forces surged out and were finally absorbed by Shu Yan's soul core.

During this process, Shu Yan's right leg bone, the source of space, was also shining brightly, flashing with silvery-white light. Shu Yan only felt that his understanding of the power of space had become a little deeper. This was undoubtedly a great opportunity. If he could comprehend it thoroughly, then Shu Yan's mastery of the power of space would be further improved, and he could even control the space at will for his own use.

The rotation speed of the solid soul power has reached its limit, and the space around it is distorting. Shu Yan took a deep breath, adjusted his own state, and suddenly started the last step.

The solid soul power trembled slightly, and then it stopped strangely. From extreme movement to extreme stillness, this was undoubtedly an extremely painful process. Shu Yan frowned, and the cold sweat froze before it could even fall.

In his eyes, ice blue, gold, black and other colors were interweaving. The next moment, with him as the center, the nearby space collapsed instantly. The Ice Emperor protected the Snow Emperor Palace. He took a deep breath and looked at Shu Yan with some surprise, as if he really didn't expect Shu Yan to be able to do this.

The original solid soul power has completely disappeared, and replaced by a small black hole vortex. In the exploration of spiritual power, there is only endless darkness in this black hole vortex, and he can't even detect how much soul power is stored in it.

But Shu Yan could clearly sense the connection between himself and the black hole vortex. He exhaled lightly and his expression gradually relaxed. Finally, he succeeded...

The soft ice-blue light continued to spread in all directions, and the entire black hole vortex was constantly changing. Shu Yan felt the familiar breath of extreme ice from it. This was his first soul core, the extreme ice soul core!
This natural sense of intimacy made Shu Yan couldn't help but smile. He didn't pause, but directly pulled the soul core towards his dantian.

The ice-blue and golden lights slowly entered his body, but the expected pain did not appear again. Shu Yan only felt that the soul power he had just output was recovering at an extremely fast speed. The two lights soon covered his whole body. Outside Shu Yan's dantian, the ice-blue soul core was slowly rotating. The energy and elemental force in the endless space were continuously attracted and finally absorbed by Shu Yan.

The power of space permeated around Shu Yan, and his right leg bone, the source of space, was cheering with joy. This was the benefit of possessing a soul core and mastering the power of space. With such a soul core, the martial soul itself could draw energy directly from the endless space without absorbing the elemental energy of heaven and earth in the real world. Shu Yan's future training speed and recovery speed in battle would also leap through several levels, becoming even more powerful and faster.

After an unknown amount of time, Shu Yan suddenly opened his eyes. His soul power increased directly from level 73 to level 74. With the soul core and the buff of increased training speed for soul masters with ultimate attributes after breaking through level 70, Shu Yan would be able to break through to the Soul Douluo level in a very short period of time. After that, he would be able to continue to soar and break into the Titled Douluo level.

Bingdi walked forward and said with some envy:
"You have successfully condensed your first soul core at the Soul Saint level, and it is even such a perverted first soul core. It was really the right decision to take you to hunt the Void Predator. It allowed you to gain some insights into the power of space in advance, and it actually brought such benefits now..."

After careful analysis, Bingdi's true nature was soon exposed.

She pinched the soft flesh on Shu Yan's waist, and then said with some grief and anger:
"How could you be so perverted, you bastard? In this world, perhaps only Emperor Tian can surpass you in soul core. However, you are still young and your cultivation is still weak. You really can't predict the future. Why don't I have such good luck as you? When I was just condensing my first soul core, I almost caused irreparable damage to my origin."

Shu Yan slapped Bingdi's hand away, then tapped him on the forehead.

Bingdi was already used to Shu Yan's close behavior, but she felt a little strange. From this perspective, it looked like a sister playing with her brother...

The key point is that Shu Yan’s age is not even a fraction of hers!
Ugh, she's supposed to be the elder sister, why does she feel like this now...
