Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 320 The Torso and Soul Bones of a 100,000-Year-Old Frost Dragon

Soft light streamed through the stained-glass windows unique to the Mermaid Palace, making Zhou Sichen's room look like a dream.

Since Ye Guyi, Ma Xiaotao, and Ling Luochen settled in the Mermaid Palace, this mysterious underwater palace has gained a unique vitality.

For the merfolk, the arrival of humans was a rare occurrence, let alone three exceptionally talented beauties with extraordinary martial souls, which aroused the merfolk's intense curiosity.

The sisters, Lijing and Liya, also favored the three girls. After all, in their opinion, if they had to become soul spirits, these three beautiful soul masters would definitely be the best candidates.

If we could form a contract with them, we might be able to carve out a new path on the road of the soul.

Meanwhile, Zhang Lexuan and Xu Jiujiu, far away at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, were completely unaware that the top-tier spiritual attribute soul spirit they longed for might just slip through their fingers.

Inside Zhou Sichen's room, Ye Guyi nestled intimately against his shoulder. With no one around, she didn't need to worry about the gazes of others and fully enjoyed this quiet time that belonged only to the two of them.

The intense heat emanating from Zhou Sichen was like a warm harbor, gradually relaxing Ye Guyi's tense nerves, and the fatigue of the past few days seemed to vanish in that moment.

Ye Guyi spoke softly, her voice filled with curiosity and anticipation: "According to what you said, once you break through to level 70 and form a contract with the Sea Princess, wouldn't you gain another combat power comparable to a peerless Douluo?"

She looked up at Zhou Sichen, her eyes filled with trust and admiration.

Zhou Sichen nodded slightly, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes: "Actually, meeting the Sea Princess was a completely unexpected surprise."

"If that 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo hadn't been Snow Empress, she might not have been able to reach an agreement with the Sea Princess."

Zhou Sichen, the embryo of the Snow Emperor, had naturally been planning this for a long time, but the encounter with the Sea Princess was indeed an unexpected surprise, and Zhou Sichen himself felt quite lucky about it.

However, after communicating with the spirit of the same plane and learning that he was now the chosen one of destiny, Zhou Sichen gladly accepted it.

It's no wonder that Zhou Sichen has had such a smooth journey, encountering virtually no setbacks.

Ye Guyi had long been accustomed to Zhou Sichen's astonishing luck.

Hearing this, she simply smiled gently: "You've made rapid progress and have already reached level sixty-seven. I need to work even harder, otherwise it won't be long before you leave me far behind."

Zhou Sichen gently grasped Ye Guyi's soft hand, the warmth of his palm conveying endless tenderness and concern: "Breakthroughs cannot be rushed; they must be achieved step by step."

"Once you pass Senior Kizaru's test on Sanyuan Island and it becomes your soul spirit, your strength will definitely experience a qualitative leap. So, you don't need to be in too much of a hurry."

Ye Guyi sighed softly, a hint of worry in her eyes: "I just hope nothing unexpected happens."

After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Sichen said with a determined look in his eyes, "Your Holy Angel Martial Soul is a top-tier Martial Soul, possessing both ultimate light and holy attributes. I believe you will be able to pass Senior Huang Yuan's test without any problems."

His words were like a reassuring pill, gradually calming Ye Guyi's initially uneasy heart.

Just as the two were immersed in the warm atmosphere, a knock on the door broke the tranquility, and Ma Xiaotao's carefree voice followed: "Can we come in?"

Ye Guyi pursed her lips helplessly, a blush rising to her cheeks. She quickly got up from Zhou Sichen's embrace and began to straighten her somewhat disheveled clothes, trying to conceal their recent intimate moment.

Zhou Sichen shook his head helplessly and said loudly, "Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen walked in one after the other.

The two women sat down opposite Zhou Sichen and Ye Guyi with scrutinizing eyes, looking as if they were conducting a serious "interrogation".

Looking at the two women's expressions, Zhou Sichen couldn't help but roll her eyes: "What's with those expressions, you two?"

Ma Xiaotao pouted and grumbled, "Of course, we'll see if you two have been doing anything bad while we're not here."

As she spoke, she winked mischievously.

Zhou Sichen was both amused and exasperated: "What are you thinking about all day? You should use that energy to break through to level 80."

Ma Xiaotao straightened her back confidently, her face brimming with fighting spirit: "Don't worry, I didn't plan to go back empty-handed this time. I will definitely make Senior Chixing work for me. When that happens, breaking through to level 80 will be a piece of cake!"

Her words were full of aspirations and ambitions for the future.

Zhou Sichen nodded slightly and poured a glass of the deep-sea specialty nectar for Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen.

The crystal-clear liquid swirled gently in the glass, releasing an enticing aroma: "It's good that you have confidence. Luo Chen, what about you?"

Ling Luochen lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly, his cheeks slightly flushed: "I am only level 66 now. Although my strength has greatly increased after my martial soul evolved into the Ultimate Ice."

"But my cultivation speed will be greatly reduced before I break through level 70."

At this point, a hint of disappointment crept into her voice: "I estimate it will take at least a year and a half to break through level 70."

Zhou Sichen smiled gently, his eyes full of encouragement: "Luo Chen, cultivation is a long journey, so there's no need to worry too much about the length of time."

"Your ultimate ice martial soul has unlimited potential. As long as you persevere, your future achievements are limitless."

"Moreover, in the process of cultivation, we can continuously accumulate experience and make more thorough preparations for breakthroughs."

Ye Guyi quickly chimed in, "Yes, Luo Chen, let's work together. Maybe we'll even have some unexpected gains along the way."

Ma Xiaotao patted Ling Luochen's shoulder casually: "That's right, that's right, don't look so gloomy."

"With us here, are you afraid of not being able to break through level 70? After I deal with Senior Chixing, I'll help you think of a way to speed up your cultivation!" Her enthusiasm and generosity instantly enlivened the atmosphere in the room.

Looking at the group of friends around her who were both competitors and best friends, Ling Luochen felt a warm current surge in her heart.

Ling Luochen's face lit up with a smile again: "It's so great to have you all. Let's work hard together and strive to make a breakthrough!"

Inside the beautiful mermaid palace, the four people's voices continued to rise.

Zhou Sichen listened quietly to Ling Luochen's determination, a slight smile playing on her lips. Just as she was about to respond, she suddenly remembered the treasure she had kept hidden away for a long time.

Amidst the three women's puzzled gazes, he slowly raised his hand, the soul tool at his fingertips gleaming with light. A soft ray of light flashed, and a crystal-clear torso soul bone appeared in his palm.

As the warm luster flowed across the soul bone, a chilling power of ice slowly surged within it, casting a faint chill into the surrounding air.

"A 100,000-year-old soul bone?!" The three women exclaimed almost simultaneously, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Ye Guyi leaned forward slightly, her bright pupils reflecting the light of the soul bone. She was already familiar with the 100,000-year soul bone; her 100,000-year seventh soul ring had given her one, and with the one Zhou Sichen had given her, she now possessed two 100,000-year soul bones.

Having accumulated so much experience in absorbing 100,000-year-old soul bones, Ye Guyi could tell at a glance that this 100,000-year-old soul bone was of extremely high quality.

Ma Xiaotao stood up abruptly, placed her hands on the table, and stared intently at the soul bone.

A 100,000-year-old soul bone! She's almost level 80 and has never absorbed a 100,000-year-old soul bone before!

Ling Luochen sat there in a daze, his face turning pale instantly, his fingertips trembling slightly. He subconsciously wanted to back away, but this sudden surprise froze him in place.

Ling Luochen stared blankly at the soul bone in Zhou Sichen's hand.

She knew all too well what this soul bone meant, and she also knew all too well who Zhou Sichen was giving it to.

The unique aura of the Frost Dragon wafted over her, its rich ice attribute fluctuations perfectly matching her ultimate ice martial soul.

But she felt more fear in her heart, because Zhou Sichen had already given her so much help.

Various precious cultivation resources, meticulously instructed cultivation methods, and now a priceless 100,000-year-old soul bone.

Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she found that her throat was blocked by something and she couldn't make a sound.

Zhou Sichen gently turned the soul bone in his hand, letting the light flow between his fingers, and said in a calm and gentle tone: "This is a soul bone of a 100,000-year-old frost dragon torso, but it is not a 100,000-year-old innate soul bone, but rather an acquired one."

He paused, looked up at the three women who were filled with shock, and continued to explain, "So this soul bone most likely only has one soul skill, but the power of this soul skill is definitely more powerful than an ordinary 100,000-year soul skill."

As he spoke, Zhou Sichen placed the soul bone in front of Ling Luochen: "With this 100,000-year-old soul bone, you can at least gain two to three levels of soul power, greatly shortening the time it takes for you to break through to level 70."

Ling Luochen bit her lip, her eyes gradually reddening.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm the turbulent emotions surging within her.

In the past, she would always express her gratitude when Zhou Sichen gave her gifts, but at this moment, those polite words seemed so pale and powerless.

She slowly reached out her hand, her fingertips gently touching the surface of the soul bone, and a cool and mellow power spread throughout her body from her fingertips.

Finally, without further hesitation, she directly stored the soul bone into her soul tool, her voice hoarse but incredibly firm: "I will work hard to cultivate and will not let you down."

Zhou Sichen smiled and nodded, then gently patted Ling Luochen's shoulder: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. After all, your starting point is a bit lower than theirs. Now that you have this 100,000-year-old soul bone, your foundation will be even stronger."

His voice, like the warm spring sun, dispelled the unease in Ling Luochen's heart.

"Si Chen, Junior Uncle and Ling Luochen both have 100,000-year soul bones, what about me?" Ma Xiaotao puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, her face full of grievance.

She put her hands on her hips, shook her head, and looked just like a little child begging for candy.

When has the Flame Demon of the Inner Court ever shown such a girlish demeanor? If the other students of the Inner Court saw this, they would probably be so surprised that their jaws would drop.

Zhou Sichen smiled helplessly and spread his hands: "Soul bones are rare and hard to come by. I don't have any high-quality fire-attribute soul bones here right now."

"But don't worry, I'll definitely not forget you in the future."

He knew, of course, that Ma Xiaotao wasn't really being unreasonable; the Ma Xiaotao of today had long since shed the tyranny of her former "Flame Demon."

In his presence, Ma Xiaotao was like a vibrant red rose in full bloom; though she occasionally had a bit of a temper, she was exceptionally adorable.

Ma Xiaotao said this to dispel the unease in Ling Luochen's heart.

After all, Ling Luochen was the most proud of the three girls. After spending the last half year getting to know each other, their contrasting personalities had melted away and they had grown together.

Therefore, Ma Xiaotao was well aware of Ling Luochen's inner thoughts, which is why she deliberately said that.

Zhou Sichen was indeed quite helpless about not giving Ma Xiaotao a 100,000-year soul bone. Not to mention that Ma Xiaotao was gone, he had never given Dugu Xianmeng a high-quality soul bone either.

It's not that I don't want to give it to them, it's just that I haven't encountered the right opportunity.

The Frost Dragon's torso soul bone that Ling Luochen is currently given was something he accidentally discovered in the Mirror Beast's cave when he was obtaining his fifth soul ring in the far north.

At that time, it was only a top-grade ten-thousand-year soul bone with a lifespan of 99,999 years, just one step away from the hundred-thousand-year level.

In order to advance this soul bone, Zhou Sichen spent the spiritual essence of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm for ten thousand years, finally allowing it to break through the limit and become a true one hundred thousand-year soul bone.

Although this 100,000-year-old soul bone only has one soul skill, the power of this soul skill is more than twice that of an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul skill.

The difference between a ten-thousand-year soul bone and a one-hundred-thousand-year soul bone may seem to be only one year, but in reality, they are worlds apart.

This top-tier 100,000-year-old torso and soul bone from a true dragon undoubtedly greatly enhances Ling Luochen's foundation.

With her current soul power of level 66, this soul bone can at least bring her a two to three-level boost.

Given their extremely high compatibility, it's even possible that they could directly help her break through to level 70.

Thinking of this, Zhou Sichen's eyes brightened even more.

With this soul bone, Ling Luochen might be able to break through his bottleneck together with Ma Xiaotao.

Once they arrive at Sanyuan Island, as long as they pass the tests of the three ferocious beasts, Ling Luochen might be able to successfully capture Qingzhang using the Soul Spirit Technique.

If Qingzhang can seal a portion of its power to become Ling Luochen's seventh spirit ring, it can continue to condense its eighth spirit ring, and even its ninth spirit ring, in the future.

Once Ling Luochen passes Qingzhang's test ahead of schedule, she will be able to quickly catch up with Ma Xiaotao.

By then, Ye Guyi, Ma Xiaotao, and Ling Luochen will be on par with each other. With the support of their ultimate attributes, their talents are already quite similar. Their future achievements will depend on their individual opportunities.

As the chosen one, Zhou Sichen's three closest women naturally benefit greatly from his destiny.

Their encounter with Zhou Sichen on this voyage was perhaps the best arrangement of fate.

Thinking of this, Zhou Sichen's lips curled up again, his eyes filled with anticipation for the future.
