Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Dragon Abyss Sword, has become its scabbard.

Chapter 12 Flowers and Tiger

"Let's have a showdown?!"

Ding Quan watched as Wei'er directly activated her martial spirit, and the golden tiger that appeared behind her increased in power.

Ling'er took a few steps back, and a crystal-clear snow lotus appeared in her hand, emanating a chilling aura, along with a surge of spiritual energy.

It is indeed a spiritual attribute.

As Ling'er's martial spirit rose from his hand to the top of his head, a layer of ice slowly formed beneath his feet.

Ice has both mental and physical attributes, and neither is weak.

Ling'er's martial soul is very strong. A martial soul with two attributes is very likely a high-level martial soul. And as the twin sister, this golden tiger must also be extraordinary.

Like spirit beasts, martial spirits have a rough ranking system.

Taking martial souls as an example, they are ranked as follows: ordinary, intermediate, advanced, top-level, super, and divine.

Ordinary martial souls account for 90% of the soul master world, and do not have any obvious advantages.

Intermediate-level martial souls may excel in a certain aspect, but only to a limited extent, and even those with attributes are not strong.

High-level martial souls generally possess elemental power or strong physical strength, and their strength is considerable, such as Qin Ming's Fiery Wolf and Huo Wu's Fire Shadow.

Top-tier spirits possess either extremely high attribute strength or extremely high physical strength, or they may possess both, with some possessing innate domains. For example, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Clear Sky Hammer of the three aforementioned sects possess both extremely high attribute strength and physical strength, while the Seven Killing Sword possesses an innate domain.

The Seven Kill Sword is slightly better than the Clear Sky Hammer, but it is only passed down through a single lineage, so it is not as famous as the Clear Sky Hammer. Of course, the bigger reason is that the Seven Kill Sword passed down to Chen Xin this generation is that he plays it well but is not good at it, and his combat power is somewhat weak.

The concept of super martial spirits did not exist in this era. They were characterized by possessing extreme attributes or extraordinary physique, or of course, basically both.

A weak body cannot accommodate ultimate attributes, and when it grows up it must have a domain that suppresses all other attributes.

Therefore, it is basically possible to fight against opponents with two spirit rings higher than the opponent, even if the opponent is a Title Douluo.

However, ordinary people cannot awaken this kind of martial spirit normally, and it cannot be inherited.

There is no need to say much about the god-level martial spirit.

High-level martial souls are already rare in the world of soul masters, and their innate soul power cannot be too low.

After the two sisters released their martial souls, Ding Quan sensed that their soul power auras were opposite.

Ling'er's soul power is cold and yin, while Wei'er's soul power is yang and vigorous.

These are two completely different types of soul power and martial soul.

After truly sensing the soul power of the two, Ding Quan felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Wei'er's martial soul is a tiger. The tiger is a pure yang body with a strong physique. The tiger spirit is more about momentum, which may be the reason why her mental power is strong but not obvious.

Ling'er is undoubtedly of the Yin element, possesses strong spiritual power, and her Snow Lotus Martial Soul has the attribute of ice.

The two are twins, and since yin and yang can transform into each other, neither of them will be weak in terms of physical fitness and mental strength, although one of them will be significantly stronger.

But is it of Yin or Yang attributes?

These two sisters have similar attributes to Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, one being yin and the other yang, but they are probably not as powerful as them. It is unknown whether they possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

"We want to confirm just how strong the person who hired us as bed warmers really is." Ling'er looked at the Dragon Abyss Sword in Ding Quan's hand, her expression somewhat solemn.

Although the dark blades were not clearly visible, Ling'er could sense an extremely sharp aura emanating from them.

However, this aura seemed to be lurking in the shadows.

"You should know that although I invited you to come with me, I have no such intention." It seems that Vera has told them what happened before.

Ding Quan did mention his idea of ​​having them join him during their previous conversations, but it seems they misunderstood.

"I know, but I still want to know how big the gap is between us before." After saying that, Wei'er rushed towards Ding Quan.

"Is that so?"

Seeing Wei'er rushing towards him, Ding Quan's left hand also surged with soul power, and he directly reached out to grab her as well.

Seeing that Ding Quan hadn't used his sword, she breathed a sigh of relief. She sensed the sharpness of the Dragon Abyss Sword, which Wei'er couldn't withstand.

Ding Quan's spiritual power did indeed appear on the Longyuan Sword, so what he said before should be true.

It seems that one's own mental will can indeed influence a martial soul. Although Ling has not seen many soul masters, he has never heard of a soul master's mental power within a martial soul.

Can I inject my own spiritual power into my martial soul? My martial soul already possesses spiritual attributes.

Judging from Wei'er's speed, her physical attributes are indeed quite strong, not much different from the first-ring Soul Master that Ding Quan encountered in the Great Soul Arena.

However, those participating in the Soul Battle in the Great Soul Arena are all adults, and their levels are close to those of Great Soul Masters.

Seeing the hand reaching for her, Vera didn't dodge but went straight to meet it.

Although Wei'er was very fast, Ding Quan's cultivation level was much higher than hers, and Ding Quan's speed was stronger than his strength.

With a light and agile swordsmanship, Ding Quan had forged many cold weapons in his previous life and had also learned how to use them, although only superficially. However, Ding Quan knew the underlying theories.

Seeing Ding Quan reach for her hand, Wei'er didn't panic. Her tiger tail swayed rhythmically, and she turned around and instantly passed by Ding Quan.

Ding Quan was also taken aback by this; what kind of operation was this?

While it's possible to change direction at high speeds, it's impossible to do so at the extreme speed that Vera can.

Ding Quan admitted that he could not accomplish this in such a short time.

Before Ding Quan could even regain his footing, Wei'er leaped towards him from behind. Ding Quan was about to sweep the Dragon Abyss Sword across her, but given the sword's sharpness, Wei'er was no match for it.

Therefore, he did not use the Dragon Abyss Sword, allowing the palm blade to strike him.

Ding Quan's hand also landed above Wei'er's head.

Wei'er's palm strike stopped abruptly upon touching Ding Quan's clothes, and Ding Quan's left hand did not fall either.

The two fought too fast. Before Ling could make a move, he glanced at Ding Quan's unused right hand and the Dragon Abyss Sword, realizing that his own attacks would probably be useless.

"Hehe, I hit you." Vera shook her hand, the soul power of the applause still lingering.

"You don't want your head anymore!" Ding Quan touched Wei'er's head upon hearing this. Her golden hair was extremely smooth and silky, and the two tiger ears on her head instantly fell back.

These ears actually move, just like tiger ears, and Ding Quan's eyes lit up when he saw this.

"Don't touch my head." Vera blushed, but did not dodge.

"I didn't expect them to look exactly like real ears." Ding Quan pinched the two ears on Wei'er's head.

Wei'er reached out to grab Ding Quan's hand.

"Alright, you two." Seeing that Wei'er didn't seem to mind Ding Quan patting her head, Ling'er smiled slightly.

Although Vera's perception of others is not as strong as her perception of herself, it is not bad either.

She didn't sense any malice from Ding Quan, which is why she didn't dodge when he touched her head.

"I know you won't attack me." Vera removed Ding Quan's hand from her head.

"Your attacks can't hurt me." Vera's attacks might cause some damage to some Great Soul Masters.

But Ding Quan has the effect of a soul skill. With its damage reduction effect and his own physical strength, the damage is not enough to hurt Ding Quan.

It should be noted that even Old Bear, a great soul master, could not injure Ding Quan with his second soul skill.

"you……"

"Alright, Wei'er, if Ding Quan uses his martial soul, you won't be able to get close at all." Ling looked at the lively Wei'er and pulled her back.

"Alright, how about it? Ling'er, come with me, and so will you, Wei'er." Ding Quan looked at the two of them as Ling'er put away her martial spirit.

"You really intend to make me your bed warmer?" Wei'er noticed Ding Quan's gaze fixed on the ears on her head.

"Well, if you're willing, that's fine too."

"Who would want to?!"

"Ding Quan, where are we going now?" Ling'er asked, pulling her younger sister along.

"Okay, let's leave here first and then go to the Snowfall Mountains." Ding Quan took out a map and pointed to a snow-covered mountain range not far away.

"Go here?" The two women knew that they had been prepared as gifts to be given to Earl Snowfall.

The territory of Earl Snowfall is located near the Snowfall Mountains.

"Don't you think you're missing a spirit ring?"

"Let's go there to get the spirit ring!" Vera was excited when she heard this. If she got the first spirit ring, would she be able to control her tail or tiger ears to appear?

The latest novel is first published here!

"Yes, the Snowfall Mountains are a primeval forest of spirit beasts, with many ice-attribute spirit beasts, many of which are suitable for Ling'er. Tiger-type spirit beasts can also survive in the ice plains, so we can find some suitable for Wei'er as well."

There are virtually no ice-attribute soul beasts in the nearby Soul Hunting Forest; to find a suitable one, one must search in cold places.

The only suitable area around here is the Snowfall Mountains, which also have many tiger-type spirit beasts, so we can hunt them together.

The group has now offended the city lord, who will likely search them soon. Heading to the Snowfall Mountains now, once inside, they'll be nowhere to be found.

As a primeval forest of spirit beasts, the Snowfall Mountains have few species due to environmental reasons, but the harsh environment makes the spirit beasts there generally quite strong.

There are many ancient soul beasts within, some even ten thousand years old, and even Soul Kings might not dare to venture deep inside.

"But look at me like this." Vera flicked her tail behind her.

"Hehe! I have a treasure here."

Ding Quan took out the storage bag he had just obtained and waved it in front of Wei'er.

"You used this to put me in?" Vera's eyes widened.

"yes."

"But..." Vera fell silent. She knew that some nobles used this method to keep women in captivity. If she went in, wouldn't that be admitting that she was that kind of person?

"Ding Quan, put me in too," Ling'er said to Wei'er.

"You don't need to do that, and besides..."

"I know, but can I trust you?" Ling'er stared into Ding Quan's eyes.

"certainly!"

Ding Quan nodded affirmatively.

"Then go ahead and do it." Seeing Ding Quan's resolute words and the Dragon Abyss Sword still in his hand, Ling'er said with a smile.

"Alright, don't resist." Ding Quan directly used his soul power to put Ling'er inside.

He glanced at Wei'er, who was standing to the side with her head slightly lowered, patted her head again, and then, seeing her relaxed expression, put her inside.

Secure the storage bag tightly to your body to ensure it's safe, then choose your direction and head directly towards the Snowfall Mountain Range.

And since it happens to pass through Snowfall City, you can buy some things there.

Inside the storage bag, the two Ling sisters huddled together, having essentially entrusted their lives to someone they had known for less than a day.

If this person harbors ulterior motives, then the two of them will be doomed forever.

Ling'er touched her chest, hoping she hadn't misjudged the person. She hugged her younger sister, realizing that they could no longer live the kind of life they used to lead in hiding.

Ding Quan's mental fluctuations were very pure, unlike those kinds of people.

Moreover, even if he were a bedchamber maid, Ding Quan should be much better than those nobles, since Wei'er didn't dislike him.

He fell asleep in Vera's arms, lost in thought.

A day later, Ding Quan rushed into a city where snowflakes were falling; this was Snowfall City.

It was named after the snow that is blown by the wind from the nearby silver mountains all year round.

After entering the city, Ding Quan went straight to a hotel.

In a nice room, Ding Quan opened the storage bag and released the two sisters.

"It's out." It was dark inside the storage bag, and time seemed to pass very slowly.

"Have we arrived?" Ling looked out the window at the silver mountain range in the distance and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, you two should rest for a bit first. Ling'er, you'll come with me to buy some things later. You should also change your clothes," Ding Quan said, glancing at the clothes the two were wearing.

"good!"

Half an hour later, Ding Quan brought Ling'er to a clothing store, while Wei'er was still placed in the storage bag.

Seeing that Ling'er was so beautiful, but was dressed in clothes that were obviously the same as the man next to her, the shop owner immediately went up to her and flattered her. Ding Quan and the other man walked out of the clothing store with him smiling.

Ling'er is currently dressed in a snow-white outfit, a women's fitted style, which, combined with her long silver hair, makes her appear exceptionally aloof and attracts the attention of many.

They then took Ling'er directly to a large pharmacy. Although the owner could tell that Ding Quan and Ling'er were not old, he still came to greet them.

"Boss, do you have whale glue here? The older the better, I have a friend..."

"I understand!" The shopkeeper interrupted Ding Quan before he could finish speaking, "We have a few pieces of century-old whale glue in our shop right now, which should be just right for your friend."

As he spoke, he prepared to go and get the whale glue.

"Boss, do you have any that's older, even ten thousand years old? My friend's condition is a bit serious," Ding Quan said quietly, pulling the boss aside.

"Ten thousand years? I do have one in my shop, but are you sure your friend can use it?" The shop owner was startled by this and couldn't help but look at Ling'er, who was blushing slightly, before giving Ding Quan a meaningful look.

Whale jelly is not very popular. As an aphrodisiac, its effects are too strong, and people with low physical strength can easily die from exhaustion if they consume too much.

"That's good." The Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue wasn't actually very popular in this era. As an aphrodisiac, its effects were too strong, and ordinary Soul Masters wouldn't dare to take it.

What's popular among nobles are whale glue aged for hundreds or thousands of years. These nobles aren't very powerful, so whale glue of this age is just right for them.

The strong don't really need the Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue, and the weak can't use it either.

Ding Quan left with the whale glue amidst the boss's regretful expression.

"Ding Quan, what are you buying whale glue for?" Ling'er looked at Ding Quan with a flushed face. She knew the uses of whale glue.

"Of course I ate it."

"You can't do it?" Ling'er looked at Ding Quan with some surprise.

"How could I not be able to at my age? Besides, this isn't for me; it's for you and Wei'er."

"Are you sure you want us to eat this?" Ling'er's expression changed. She knew very well the effects of eating whale jelly, especially since it contained ten thousand years' worth of whale jelly.

"Don't overthink it, I'll explain when we get back." Ding Quan pulled Ling'er directly towards the hotel.
