Douluo: Wuhun Longyuan Sword, I have become the scabbard

Chapter 118 Help
Seeing that the three people didn't seem to be faking it, and that they didn't seem to have any desire for the soul bone in their eyes, Dean Tianshui still accepted it.

A soul bone from 60,000 years ago—this is something I can hardly refuse.

Seeing that Ding Quan and the other two had sat down, Dean Tianshui briefly restored his soul power and then began to absorb the soul ring.

Absorbing a spirit ring with a lifespan of over 60,000 years is not a big problem for a Soul Douluo. Even though Dean Tianshui has some injuries, it doesn't affect him much.

"Thank you for saving us!" Shui Bing'er said as she approached Ding Quan and the others.

"This is all thanks to Quan. He was the first to sense your presence, so he came to check on you." Ling gestured for Shui Bing'er to sit down, as Shui Bing'er wasn't in very good condition.

Even with her level 60 soul power, dealing with the nearly 30,000-year-old Ice Feather Flying Eagle was still quite difficult for her.

It seems that Shui Bing'er has not yet fully mastered her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul. Otherwise, with the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul possessing ultimate attributes, its mere pressure would be enough to cause the Ice Feather Flying Eagle to lose most of its combat power.

"Thank you. If you need anything in the future, please let me know. I will never refuse."

"You should recover first."

Ding Quan was also somewhat surprised, as he was indeed the first to sense Shui Bing'er's aura, a presence with near-ultimate ice attributes that felt somewhat familiar to him.

Unexpectedly, she encountered Dean Tianshui again while passing through the Frozen Forest, and she had encountered accidents while hunting souls, all of which happened while she was with a quasi-Soul Emperor.

Shui Bing'er is now much stronger than in the original story. Without any other help, her talent is definitely among the top in Douluo Continent.

It's no wonder that even without consuming the immortal herb, her strength was not much different from Tang San's in the original story before the Soul Master Competition.

Seeing that Shui Bing'er had also sat down to recover her soul power, a surge of ice-attribute soul power appeared on Shui Bing'er's body. She had not yet withdrawn her martial soul.

"It really is an Ice Phoenix!"

"Snow Emperor, you're awake." Suddenly, a voice rang in Ding Quan's mind.

"I am merely recuperating; I have not fallen into a deep sleep."

Xue Di's voice came through, and she replied, sensing Ding Quan's somewhat unexpected mental fluctuations.

"Is that so?" Ding Quan did think that Xue Di had fallen into a deep sleep and would need a long time to wake up. It seemed that he had worried too much. However, Xue Di did not seal his soul power and spiritual power, and his soul was not consumed.

"You human soul masters are truly blessed by nature; even an existence like the Ice Phoenix can become a martial soul." In the sea of ​​consciousness, the Snow Empress's voice was somewhat wistful.

Phoenixes are beings like true dragons, belonging to the category of super soul beasts. Other soul beasts, even if they possess a trace of their bloodline, can be considered powerful beings among soul beasts, not to mention those with pure blood.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Ding Quan glanced at the golden lion and the golden dragon, which was now nearly a hundred meters long and radiating golden light.

Even a golden dragon that has just broken through ten thousand years can overpower a Soul Saint. It takes several Soul Saints with top-tier martial souls to injure it, but that is still not enough to hunt it down.

If it were still alive now, having evolved into a true dragon, its power would be even more terrifying.

However, now it is only a soul, becoming a member of its own spiritual sea.

"It's a pity she didn't master the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul's abilities." Outside, Ding Quan replied to Shui Bing'er, who was petite and had a delicate and attractive face, in his spiritual sea.

"How could an existence like the Ice Phoenix be controlled by ordinary people? If she could control it, her strength would probably not be weaker than yours. No! You are not an ordinary person. To defeat you..." The Snow Emperor's voice trailed off. The strength of Ding Quan and the other two could not be judged by ordinary standards either.

She had witnessed the battles between Ding Quan and the Ice Emperor and the Ice Bear King. While their strength as Soul Emperors might not be as great as that of a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast, they were definitely capable of holding their own against a 100,000-year-old being.

Ding Quan, now a Soul Saint, has reached the level of a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast. He even defeated a 100,000-year-old Snow Lotus using his Martial Soul True Body, without even using the domain skill from the Soul Ring he sacrificed.

"Indeed!" If she could fully control the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, her strength might not be weaker than her own without the seventh spirit ring. The power of a super Martial Soul cannot be judged by common sense, especially a phoenix, which stands at the very top of the spirit beasts.

"I've seen your supreme technique; it should be able to help her master the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul."

"Hmm! You've read my memories." Ding Quan was startled. He had never used the title "King of the World" in front of the Snow Empress or the Ice Empress, nor had he even mentioned their names.

"Your mental strength is indeed very strong, but it is still too weak compared to when I was at my peak. Even though you are now only a fraction of what you were before, the quality of your mental strength has not diminished. However, you seem to have some secret that I cannot uncover."

"Everyone has secrets hidden in their heart."

"Don't worry, I won't ask any more questions." Xue Di didn't press the matter. Being able to condense a soul core at the Soul Saint stage naturally had an incredibly firm mental will, so saying more would be pointless.

What I never expected was that Ding Quan, who was only a teenager at the time, could create the secret technique of "Ruling the World" by relying on the connection between himself and his martial soul. This can be said to be a top-level combat technique. Even with his 700,000 years of cultivation, learning this combat technique would greatly enhance his strength. It is an existence on par with his three ultimate techniques, or even more comprehensive.

The threshold for this combat skill is also frighteningly high. It requires spiritual power and soul power quality far exceeding one's own soul power level, as well as an equally powerful physique to cultivate. And this is just the threshold; whether one can learn it is still unknown.

"Thank you!"

"Moreover, her hidden ice attribute is probably even greater than Bing'er's! If she can control the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, perhaps she can be like you."

"Really?" Just like us? Is there a possibility of becoming a god?
Ding Quan's expression was strange. The Ice Emperor that Xue Di was referring to was naturally the Ice Emperor, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

An even more powerful extreme ice attribute than Hyotei? Well, that's Phoenix.

If the Ice Jade Scorpion, possessing the ultimate ice, is this terrifying, then one can hardly compare to a being like the Phoenix.

With her current soul power, Shui Bing'er has surpassed many of the Shrek Seven Devils in the original story. They were all able to become gods in the end. Shui Bing'er is indeed more talented now, and perhaps she really can reach that level.

"You might be able to help her, and she might be of some help to you."

"What help?"

"I can't say for sure. Perhaps we'll only know after she fully masters the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul."

According to Xue Di's perception, that woman was only one step away from the ultimate ice, but that one step was an insurmountable chasm. With her weak mental strength compared to the people in front of her, she simply could not take that step.

"Oh?"

Ding Quan looked at Shui Bing'er. The Ice Phoenix Martial Soul was indeed powerful. Even though Shui Bing'er had not fully awakened it yet, her strength was already considerable.

In the Sea of ​​Spirit, the golden lion remained quietly seated beside the Dragon Abyss Sword, with the Snow Empress sitting on its back, looking strangely at the golden dragon radiating golden light beside it.

Ding Quan learned from his memories that metal and water are compatible, and he himself was formed from pure ice-attribute heaven and earth energy. Ice belongs to the water element, which is probably why he did not dislike it and even became Ding Quan's seventh soul ring in the end.

Ling, whose attributes align with Ding Quan's, also improves faster than Wei'er, which may be partly due to this.

The Ice Phoenix is ​​on par with the Golden Dragon. As the Snow Empress quieted down, Ding Quan's gaze also left Shui Bing'er.

During my flight away from the far north, I did sense her presence first. Could it be that it wasn't just because of her extremely strong ice attribute?

"Quan, did you discover anything?" Ling asked, noticing that Ding Quan had been staring at Shui Bing'er and had actually used the Xuanhuo Pupil ability.

"It's alright, Xue Di just spoke with me."

"Is that so?" Ling looked at Ding Quanxuan's fire eyes with some surprise as the flames dissipated, then turned her gaze to Shui Bing'er thoughtfully.

Just now, in his own spiritual sea, there were two beings who made him pay attention to Shui Bing'er. Ling Shen had a deep understanding of the power of Shui Bing'er's original ice attribute of her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, which was at least above his own.

The group waited quietly for Dean Tianshui to absorb the soul ring.

"Dean Tianshui has succeeded." Shui Bing'er's voice rang out, and Dean Tianshui had already stood up.

The dean of Tianshui Academy absorbed the spirit ring without any unexpected incidents.

Two hours later, eight spirit rings appeared on Dean Tianshui's body: two yellow, two purple, and four black.

"Congratulations on your advancement to Soul Douluo!" Ling said to Dean Tianshui as he stood up.

"Don't congratulate me. I'm already at the eighth ring, but you're putting a lot of pressure on me." Dean Tianshui sensed his own strength, but when he saw Ling, he also felt a faint pressure emanating from him.

Ling, possessing the ultimate ice, exerted an overwhelming suppression on the ice-attribute Azure Water Spirit Kite. Moreover, Ling now possessed two red soul rings, and their souls were still within Ling's body.

"Senior is joking."

"This is no joke. I just witnessed your strength." Dean Tianshui pointed to the huge Ice Feather Flying Eagle corpse at his feet. To be able to kill an Ice Feather Flying Eagle that was over 60,000 years old with a single blow was a feat that he himself could hardly achieve now.

"Now that the Dean's spirit ring problem is solved, what about you, Bing'er?"

“We don’t have a target yet,” Shui Bing’er said. Although the nearly 30,000-year-old Ice Feather Flying Eagle from earlier was quite impressive, its age was too high for a Soul Emperor.

"If you don't have a specific goal, I know where there are soul beasts that suit you."

"What soul beast?"

“Quan, didn’t we see a polar phoenix when we came out of the far north?” Ling said, remembering something, and then looked at Ding Quan.

“Indeed!” Ding Quan nodded. When they left the far north, they did find many powerful ice-attribute soul beasts, and the Arctic Luan Bird was one of them. At the time, they only glanced at it and did not pay attention to it, after all, there were many more powerful ones.

"Polar Luan Bird!" Dean Tianshui's voice was somewhat shocked. This was a soul beast with phoenix bloodline, extremely powerful and extremely rare.

"It could be in the far north."

"Bing'er, let's go! We're fast enough."

"But this is too much trouble for you." Shui Bing'er felt a little embarrassed as she watched Ling get up.

"Back then, you directly gave me your soul power imprint, which helped me a lot." Ling held Shui Bing'er's hand. A few years ago, the other party provided her soul power imprint without asking why, allowing her to adapt to the ultimate ice attribute in advance. Moreover, Shui Bing'er's soul skills helped her a lot.

"It's alright, it won't take much time." Seeing Ling's gaze on him, Ding Quan remembered what Xue Di had said earlier, that making this trip wouldn't be difficult.

"Dean, let's go. You've helped us a lot before."

"Thank you!" Dean Tianshui didn't say anything more. With the help of Ding Quan and the other two, this soul hunt should be easy. Moreover, a soul beast like the Polar Luan Bird is indeed very suitable for Bing'er.

Several people can fly, so the speed is very fast.

"This is the far north, it's so cold!" In the sky, Dean Tianshui, who was already a Soul Douluo, felt the temperature around him was biting. No wonder no Soul Masters had entered this far north.

Moreover, a snowstorm swept past in the distance, and the biting cold wind made it difficult for them to fly steadily. However, Ding Quan and the others remained calm, indicating that they were used to it.

"This is the territory of an 80,000-year-old Titan Snow Demon. Let's go this way." Ding Quan looked at the storm in the distance, which was caused by a Titan Snow Demon.

"That enormous soul beast is the Titan Snow Demon?" A colossal creature appeared and disappeared in the storm. Shui Bing'er clearly did not know anything about such a soul beast.

On an iceberg, a small phoenix, its body like an ice crystal, is breathing in and out vital energy.

Then, a look of surprise flashed in its eyes as it looked in one direction.

Ding Quan and his companions appeared in its field of vision in an instant. The polar ice bird, which was just about to spread its wings, froze instantly, and an aura of pressure emanated from it.

Dean Tianshui felt the terrifying pressure emanating from Ling beside him. Even the flapping of his wings paused for a moment after his martial soul was formed in mid-air. He had never seen such immense soul power before, and there was also a powerful spiritual force.

Ding Quan clenched his right hand, and the Dragon Abyss Sword appeared in his hand.

Under the gaze of the polar phoenix, Shui Bing'er, and Dean Tianshui, a blood-red glint flashed across the Dragon Abyss Sword, unleashing a terrifying aura that seemed to freeze the surrounding air.

“I will offer you as a sacrifice, and I can preserve your intelligence!” Ding Quan said.

Isn't Ding Quan's martial spirit a sword? How can it possess such a chilling aura, a chill that even surpasses the highest level of martial arts?

Seeing Ding Quan pointing at her, Shui Bing'er was shocked. Had Ding Quan just spoken to that polar phoenix?
Sacrifice? How could a soul beast possibly do that?
You can see the polar phoenix pondering for a moment, then it simply nods!

It really is possible to offer sacrifices!

Just as Shui Bing'er was about to speak, she suddenly found herself unable to move. To Shui Bing'er's horrified gaze, a translucent black soul ring emerged from the polar phoenix and then headed straight for her.

It's so black! Even blacker than the eighth spirit ring the dean absorbed!

This polar robin is frighteningly old.

A silver halo appeared around Ling, enveloping the Arctic Luan Bird and Shui Bing'er, and the group landed on the ground.

Ding Quan looked at the polar phoenix that had already been sacrificed and put away the Dragon Abyss Sword.

"This is a one-time exception!" A cold voice rang out from within the sea of ​​consciousness.
