Douluo Continent: Ultimate Ice Light, Starting with God-Level Dual Martial Souls

Chapter 53 The Reason for Guangling's Immortality, The Difficulty of the Second Challenge: Death Valley
"From this day forward, I will follow the Spirit Hall to the death!"

She took firm steps into this Spirit Hall branch, determined to become a Spirit Master.

In reality, behind every event, there may be an impact on the mindset of people you don't know.

Over the past six months, Guangyu and Qianrenxue have accomplished a great deal: eliminating evil soul masters, killing local nobles, imperial officials, and even eradicating the pests within their own Spirit Hall faction.

These events have affected many people, and have even subtly enhanced the image and status of the Spirit Hall in the hearts of the people and spirit masters on the mainland.

After killing Zhao Wuji and resting for a week.

Guangyu's injuries and condition have fully recovered, and the two set off back to Wuhun City.

The training was over, and Guangling, Qianjun, and Jiangmo no longer needed to protect them secretly. The three of them, along with Guangyu and Qianrenxue, rode back together in a carriage.

On the carriage.

Looking at Guangling, who had a youthful and somewhat adorable boyish face, Qian Renxue couldn't help but ask, "Guangling, why do you look so young? Is it because of your Ice Bow Martial Soul? Or is this the constitution of your entire lineage?"

"Won't Guangyu stop growing after she grows up to look like you?"

In this world, once a Soul Master breaks through to the Title Douluo realm, their lifespan will greatly increase, their appearance will remain unchanged, and their appearance will age extremely slowly. Basically, the passage of time will hardly show any changes on the faces of a Title Douluo powerhouse.

In other words, the earlier you break through to the Title Realm, the younger you will look.

But Guangling looks too young; it's clearly impossible for him to have broken through to the title level at such a young age.

"Hehe, young master, our Light Feather Divine Bow lineage basically finds it difficult for our bodies to develop further after the age of ten. This is all due to the backlash from the defects in our martial soul!"

“When ice erodes our bodies to a certain extent, we will stop developing. However, Xiaoyuyu has already resolved the problem of backlash from his own martial soul, and his body will develop normally,” Guangling said with a smile.

"I see," Qian Renxue nodded secretly, thinking to herself, "That's good."

In the precocious world of Douluo Continent, Guang Ling's appearance does indeed make him look like he's only in his early teens. In the real world, he would be equivalent to a middle school student in his teens, still growing and developing.

Qian Renxue did not deny that Guang Ling was very handsome, an absolute heartthrob, the kind of face that countless girls would be obsessed with, but ultimately he was too young and lacked the charm of a mature man.

In Qian Renxue's opinion, if Guangyu could fully develop and become tall, he would definitely be more handsome and charming.

Guangyu then got down to business: "By the way, Uncle, how difficult is our second challenge, the one involving traversing Death Valley?"

“With your current strength, you definitely can’t do it.” Guangling said, but still decided to reveal a little: “Our seven Grand Masters have specially designed the most difficult training route for you, and set up checkpoints. On this route, you must pass through the core area of ​​Death Valley.”

"What!? The very core area?"

Guangyu and Qianrenxue exchanged a glance, their expressions turning serious.

Death Valley, like Star Dou Great Forest, is a habitat for soul beasts, but it differs from Star Dou Great Forest in that...

In this Valley of Death, most of the spirit beasts are arthropods, insects, such as spiders, scorpions, centipedes, ants, flies, butterflies, bees, grasshoppers, and various other insects.

Once an insect-type soul beast appears, it's likely to swarm in!

In some ways, Death Valley is even more dangerous than Star Dou Great Forest, and there once lived a 100,000-year-old soul beast in Death Valley named Death Spider Emperor.

Bibi Dong's first martial soul was the Death Spider Emperor.

Her ninth red spirit ring came from the Death Spider King in Death Valley. Therefore, there are no more 100,000-year-old spirit beasts in Death Valley now.

However, there must be many soul beasts with a cultivation level of over 50,000 years. In other words, if Guangyu and Qianrenxue want to pass through the core area of ​​Death Valley, they may encounter soul beasts with extremely high cultivation levels, such as those with a cultivation level of 70,000, 80,000, or 90,000 years!
This means they are very likely to be hunted down by spirit beasts with combat power comparable to those of a Soul Douluo!

"Tear! Goodness! Each level is harder than the last!"

Guangyu and Qianrenxue both anticipated the difficulty of this second challenge. Unless the two of them could barely reach the level of a Soul Douluo by working together, they would most likely fail in crossing Death Valley.

The pressure suddenly increased again.

But they seem to have gotten used to this pressure, and have even turned it into endless motivation.

"Sister Xue'er, a new journey is about to begin."

Yes! Let's work together.

The two exchanged a smile; they were no longer afraid of any challenge.

A few days later.

The group returned to Wuhun City.

On his way to the Hall of Worship, Guangyu encountered his former defeated opponents, Xieyue, Yan, and Hu Liena, once again. But now, they didn't even have the courage to look up at Guangyu.

He lowered his head and slunk away.

Because they are completely different from the current Guangyu.

After returning to the main hall.

Guangyu and Qian Renxue immediately told Qian Daoliu about what they had seen and thought after their six months of training: "Grand Elder, after careful consideration, Sister Xue'er and I believe that the management of the branch halls scattered throughout the continent by our core high-level leaders is still too lenient and lax."

"Along the way, we have seen many instances of inaction, corruption, and even oppression of the people by the branch hall soul masters."

"We recommend rectifying the grassroots level of branch temples across the country! Eliminating the pests!"

"This will greatly help our Spirit Hall to unify this continent in the future, and will also gain more support from spirit masters and the people!"

In fact, after Qian Xunji took over as patriarch, the Spirit Hall's management of the grassroots level became lax, and when Bibi Dong took over, she completely ignored the management of the grassroots level.

This resulted in the emergence of many pests in various temples and shrines across the continent.

Rectifying the grassroots and eliminating pests, so that the Spirit Hall can more effectively maintain the security of the mainland, is actually a very effective political means.

Especially under the aristocratic feudal system of the two great empires, the Spirit Hall could easily gain the support of a large number of people as long as it did something serious.

While absolute military force can unify the continent, it may not necessarily gain the support of the people.

The saying goes, "He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world."

Moreover, the Spirit Hall aims to establish a nation and manage the entire Douluo Continent in the future.

Therefore, some political measures are still necessary to enhance the Spirit Hall's status, image, and support among the people, making them understand that the Spirit Hall's existence is more important than the Empire.

When the Spirit Hall starts a war, many spirit masters will join voluntarily, gaining the support of countless people and making the Spirit Hall even stronger!
