Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 237 Daily Distribution of Surprise and Joy, Preparation of the Third Soul Core

The morning light is dim.

It rained a little last night. In the morning, Xingluo City was shrouded in a layer of misty fog, like a dream. The sound of dripping water still echoed in my ears. In the corner, the water tank used to store water was full. A few chickens flew down from the evergreen tree and landed on its edge.

"I'm sleepy, don't touch me..."

On the messy bed, Ling Luochen was trapped in Shu Yan's arms. She pushed Shu Yan and said in a slightly annoyed tone.

Her long black hair covered her cool and delicate face, revealing only a bit of her fair skin.

After a night of hard work, she was still exhausted even with her physical fitness. Her lower abdomen felt a little bloated. She realized that the hand around her waist was still not honest. Ling Luochen suddenly propped up her upper body with one arm, then raised her white and slender thighs and kicked Shu Yan off the bed.

"Get out and don't disturb my rest."

After doing all this, Ling Luochen pulled over a thin black blanket and wrapped himself up, no longer looking at Shu Yan who was lying on the ground with some helplessness.

Well... okay, he really didn't expect Ling Luochen to do this. Although Ling Luochen was usually a little cold, he was one of the girls with the most contrast. But it was the first time in history that he kicked Shu Yan off the bed like this.

Looking at Ling Luochen who had his back to him and seemed to be in a bad mood, Shu Yan chuckled, but was not angry. After putting on his clothes, he took out two jade boxes from his soul guide, which contained the torso bone of a 430,000-year-old Demon Knife Fish King and a right leg bone of a 100,000-year-old Red Scale Water Beast King.

"Okay, I won't disturb you from resting. These two soul bones are obtained by me from hunting sea soul beasts over 100,000 years old in the ocean. You need to use a secret method to separate the existing torso bones in your body before you can absorb the torso bone, which is over 400,000 years old. The leg bone is about 130,000 years old. If you need my help, just let me know. Have a good rest. I'm leaving now."

Shu Yan put down the two jade boxes, lowered the veil outside the room, and then walked out of Ling Luochen's room.

Not long after Shu Yan left, Ling Luochen, who had been breathing steadily, suddenly sat up, ignoring the large area of ​​her body exposed to the air. Then, looking at the empty room, she felt inexplicably annoyed.

Shu Yan had been gone for so long, and she had accumulated so much longing and worry in her heart that she lost control last night. She agreed to Shu Yan's excessive request in a daze. Now thinking about it, she almost banged her head against the wall and died.

Who would take the small road instead of the main road?

After sulking alone for a while, she opened two jade boxes placed beside the bed, and a strange wave of soul power suddenly swept the entire room.

Ling Luochen, who was extremely sensitive to smells, soon smelled a hint of salty smell from the ocean in the air. Although he was a little displeased, he was more surprised.

Soul masters of this era have done very little exploration of the ocean, and most soul masters don't even dare or can't absorb the soul rings produced by sea soul beasts. Soul bones from sea soul beasts are even rarer. Even though she has followed Shu Yan for so long, the quality of the two soul bones in front of her still attracts her attention.

As her fingertips brushed across the surface of the two soul bones, Ling Luochen's lips curled up unconsciously with a hint of a smile, but as soon as she moved, the discomfort came again. She snorted lightly, and then said as if talking to herself:
"You still have a conscience. Never mind. I'll forgive you this time..."

"If there is a next time... forget it, let's talk about it next time..."

……

In the hall.

Shu Yan walked in slowly, and the next moment, he bumped into Meng Ning who was jumping and preparing to go out.

The two of them bumped into each other, and Meng Ning fell backwards uncontrollably. Shu Yan pulled her back. The little girl rubbed her head, and after she came to her senses, she looked up and said with some surprise:
"Brother, why are you... No, you're finally back!"

Facing the panic that flashed across the little girl's face, Shu Yan rubbed her head and then said:
"I just came back. Oh, by the way, don't forget to go into seclusion for a while to practice hard. Don't come out until you have a breakthrough. In such a long time, your soul power has only increased by one level. Do you think it is reasonable?"

The expression on Meng Ning's face collapsed bit by bit, but due to Shu Yan's majesty, she could only nod with a sad face.

Shu Yan didn't say much, but walked straight into the hall filled with fragrance.

Xu Jiujiu, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, suddenly stood up, rubbed his eyes, and then threw himself into Shu Yan's arms in disbelief.

Xu Jiujiu held Shu Yan with great strength. Shu Yan smiled and rubbed the girl's head, then said:

"Jiujiu, be gentle, I can hardly breathe..."

Hearing this, Xu Jiujiu snorted softly, and the longing in her eyes was almost thick and tangible. Shu Yan didn't say anything more and let the girl vent her emotions.

After a long time, Xu Jiujiu finally let go of Shu Yan.

Shu Yan took her hand and sat back on the sofa. Dugu Yan walked in from the door with drinks in her hand. After seeing Shu Yan, she paused and then walked out again. Not long after, she brought new pastries and drinks, but this time they were obviously for multiple people.

Xu Jiujiu leaned in Shu Yan's arms, sniffed his arms, then frowned slightly and asked:
"You came back last night?"

She was very familiar with Ling Luochen's body fragrance. After all, she was her best sister and they had fought against the enemy side by side for many times. How could she not smell it...

"I came back at midnight last night. Seeing that you didn't come back to rest, I went to Luochen's place."

Shu Yan said very honestly.

Xu Jiujiu rolled his eyes at Shu Yan, but he wasn't angry. He just said with a slightly amused tone:

"I was wondering why she hasn't come here yet. It seems like she was exhausted last night."

Shu Yan pinched the girl's cheek, then took out two jade boxes.

"Two soul bones, one from the right leg bone of a hundred thousand year old evil killer whale king. The attached skills should be the killer whale shattering fangs and the evil killer whale axe."

"The other one is from the right arm bone of a 100,000-year-old sea-swallowing whale. It comes with a domain skill called Devouring. The other soul skill should be the innate soul skill of the sea-swallowing whale clan, the Light of the Sea. Although they are not the soul bones of fierce beasts, these two soul bones are the most suitable for you. You can absorb them when you have time."

Xu Jiujiu opened the jade box and scanned it one by one, and then caught the key points of Shu Yan's words.

"You also obtained the soul bones of a fierce beast this time?"

Xu Jiujiu asked curiously.

Shu Yan nodded, and the ring on his hand flashed with silver light. Dozens of soul bones of various sizes suddenly appeared and hovered around the few people.

"These are all the soul bones I have obtained on this trip that are over ten thousand years old. Among them, there are more than ten soul bones that are one hundred thousand years old. Most of them are from sea soul beasts, and a few are from the Holy Spirit Church headquarters."

"As for the beast soul bones, I also harvested a few, but two of them have been absorbed by me. As for the remaining two... well, I have given one to Luo Chen, and I plan to give the other to my sister."

Meng Ning and Dugu Yan stared in a daze at the soul bone floating in the air that almost blocked the entire room. Various colored halos were flowing, and even the Nebula Douluo hiding in the dark couldn't help but fall into a daze.

Xu Jiujiu swallowed his saliva, stood up and looked at the soul bones in the room, and was shocked for a moment.

Turning his head, he looked at Shu Yan, who seemed to have a slightly strange expression. After a long time, he thought about what Shu Yan had just said, and then said softly:
"Are you worried that I'm unhappy?"

Shu Yan didn't say anything, Xu Jiujiu sat back next to Shu Yan with amusement, and then said:
"Then Ah Yan, you really think too much. Do I look like the kind of person who likes to be jealous?"

"In other words, it's just a beast's soul bone. It's not that important to me." "For me, the most important thing is always you."

Shu Yan just smiled and said nothing.

Others may not be clear, but he is one of the people who knows Xu Jiujiu best. How could he not know how strong Xu Jiujiu's desire for power is and how much he cares about his country.

It's just that when she's with others on a daily basis, she won't let these things show up and leave a bad impression on others. She is a two-sided person, but there's no need to point these things out. Everyone has things they have to do and responsibilities they have to bear. If you even want to avoid this, then there's actually nothing to say.

"Okay, Ah Yan and Ah Ning, each pick a piece of the 100,000-year soul bone and take it away. Don't refuse. You have seen the total number of soul bones. Even if each of you takes one, there may still be some left."

Shu Yan waved his hand, and more than ten soul bones with the most powerful auras automatically lined up in a row.

Dugu Yan and Meng Ning looked at each other. Both of them were a little nervous and at a loss. After some mental preparation, they still came forward.

On the other side, Xu Jiujiu looked at Shu Yan and asked softly:

"You fought with the strong men of the Holy Spirit Church?"

Shu Yan shook his head and said:
"It wasn't a fight. I killed more than 60% of the high-end combat power of the entire Holy Spirit Church, including its chief worshiper, Extreme Douluo Long Xiaoyao, the leader, Death Douluo Zhongli Wu, and the deputy leader, Evil Phoenix Douluo Feng Ling. I also killed several other elders and worshipers. I also wiped out their lair outside the Demon Forest. I brought back all the treasures and collections, including several level nine fixed-type soul guide shells."

"What!?"

Xu Jiujiu was so shocked that she sat up directly from the sofa. Then she looked at Meng Ning and Dugu Yan beside her, and pulled Shu Yan to the room next to her.

"Ayan, is everything you said true?"

As soon as he came in, Xu Jiujiu pushed Shu Yan against the wall and asked impatiently.

Shu Yan nodded helplessly.

"Then...what are you going to do with these level nine fixed-type soul guide shells?"

Xu Jiujiu asked immediately.

The ninth-level fixed-type soul-guided artillery shell is a national-level strategic weapon of the Sun-Moon Empire. Its world-destroying and terrifying power has greatly intimidated the original Douluo Three Kingdoms for many years.

Unfortunately, the Sun-Moon Empire's guarding against it was too strict. For so many years, no one in the original Three Douluo Kingdoms had even seen this terrifying weapon with their own eyes. Now Shu Yan had actually obtained several of them from the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters. How could Xu Jiujiu not be excited?
After thinking for a while, Shu Yan said softly:
"The ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell is one of the most important national defense weapons of the Sun-Moon Empire. Even the Holy Spirit Church does not have much in reserve. Jiujiu, I will give you four at most, but I also want to remind you that this kind of weapon is not something that Xingluo's soul guide level or even soul guide technology can detect. If it explodes, Xingluo City will be devastated..."

Xu Jiujiu slowly calmed down, she took a deep breath, and then said:
"Don't worry, Ayan, we are not that stupid yet."

"With the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells, we will have greater confidence in the future when facing the chaos on the continent. We will only use this kind of large-scale lethal super weapon when it can play the greatest role."

Shu Yan nodded, then handed a bracelet to Xu Jiujiu.

"These are four shells and the soul guide cannons they are equipped with. Keep them or give them to my brother."

Xu Jiujiu put the bracelet with shining metallic luster on her wrist. Shu Yan looked at her dazed look and didn't know what to say for a while. After Xu Jiujiu regained her composure, Shu Yan told her about what he had done in the sea and the Sun and Moon Empire. Then the two returned to the hall.

At this time, Dugu Yan and Meng Ning had already chosen their soul bones.

Seeing the two of them holding their soul bones and looking a little overwhelmed, Shu Yan pointed to the secret room nearby and said with a smile:

"Ayan, go absorb the soul bone. As for Aning, don't be anxious. Wait for some time before making a decision."

Dugu Yan hesitated for a moment, then bowed gently to Shu Yan and walked towards the secret room on the side.

Meng Ning put the soul bone into the soul guide, said a few words to the two of them, and then wisely left the hall.

Afterwards, Xu Jiujiu divided the soul bones according to their properties and adaptability, and gave them to everyone one by one after preparation.

Shu Yan was lying on the sofa, thinking about something.

The condensation of the third soul core is the most serious problem he is currently facing. The energy he obtained from destroying the Holy Spirit Church headquarters is extremely huge, but it is still too small compared to the energy required to condense the third soul core.

So, where can we find such a huge amount of energy?
Shu Yan was a little distressed, but soon he came up with an idea.

Seeing that Xu Jiujiu had almost finished the work in her hands, Shu Yan pointed at the sofa, motioned for her to sit down, and then said:

"Please keep these soul bones for a long time. Except for the ones we use, you can arrange the rest as you wish."

"In addition, I will go to Haotian Sect in a while to kill the two beasts from the God Realm, namely the Azure Dragon and the Titan Giant Ape."

"As for the Haotian Sect... forget it, let's wait and see."

Xu Jiujiu was stunned when he heard this, and then said:

"According to records, the Haotian Sect has gradually faded out of the mainland's sight since a thousand years ago, and its members are no longer seen active on the mainland. Some scholars and strong men once believed that they had disappeared, but there are also people who hold opposing views."

"It was only when I heard you say that Wang Dong possessed the Clear Sky Hammer spirit last time that I realized that the Clear Sky Sect still existed in the world..."

"As for the two mythical beasts..."

Seeing Xu Jiujiu's expression, Shu Yan suddenly realized and immediately said:
"These two guys are the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape that were sacrificed to Tang San ten thousand years ago. After Tang San became a god, they were resurrected and became divine beasts. About a thousand years ago, with Tang San's help, they returned to the mainland and took charge of the Haotian Sect in seclusion, preparing for Tang San's daughter and his plan for this life."

"Due to the suppression of the plane, the Azure Dragon has retained the strength of the Ultimate Douluo level, and the Titan Giant Ape...well, he is considered a level 98 Super Douluo. As long as nothing unexpected happens, killing these two guys will be a piece of cake for me."

"As gods, the huge energy they have accumulated, coupled with some other treasures, should be enough for me to successfully condense the third soul core. In this process, Sister Xue's soul rings and my second martial soul's 7th, 8th, and 9th soul rings should also be able to be upgraded to the god level."

Originally, he planned to hunt these two mythical beasts to serve as the soul rings of his second martial soul, but after thinking about it, Shu Yan gave up this idea.

There is no need to say much about the first martial soul. The positions of the eighth and ninth soul rings are reserved for the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor. The main attribute of the second martial soul, the Evil God Scepter, is evil, the secondary attribute is spirit, and then other attributes like thunder.

But from Shu Yan's perspective, attributes like thunder are actually encompassed by the most powerful evil attribute, and are essentially part of the evil attribute.

Therefore, instead of directly absorbing the spirit rings of these two mythical beasts, it is better to use their power to transform one's own spirit rings. In terms of quality, the god-level spirit rings provided by the three spirits, the Ice and Snow Girl, the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, must be more suitable and powerful than the spirit rings provided by the Sky Blue Dragon and the Titan Giant Ape.

As for soul bones, doesn’t he just happen to be missing soul bones in his arms?
In the end it's not a waste at all.

But before that, he still wanted to go to Shrek Academy. After thinking about it, Shu Yan turned around and said to Xu Jiujiu...
