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

Chapter 13 Snowfall Mountains

"Ding Quan, even if it's whale glue, you don't need to buy the 'ten-thousand-year-old' kind," Ling'er said softly as she watched Ding Quan pull her hand and walk towards the hotel.

However, Ding Quan is indeed very young. Could it be that he really gave it to himself and Wei'er?

"I told you not to overthink it. It's not what you think. It has other uses." Ding Quan saw Ling'er's strange expression.

She glanced at the hand she was holding; it seemed she hadn't pulled away.

"Does whale glue have other uses?" Ding Quan's words didn't seem to be fake, and given his short stature, he seemed quite young.

"Otherwise, how do you think I acquired my strength?"

"Could this whale glue enhance strength?"

"I guess so. I discovered it by chance."

"Really?" If whale glue could really enhance strength, then it certainly wouldn't be available in pharmacies. Ling looked at Ding Quan with some skepticism.

"Well, you'll know when you take it, but it might be uncomfortable." Whale jelly has an aphrodisiac effect, and taking it is indeed uncomfortable.

Ding Quan had taken it before but because he was too young, the side effects were not serious. After obtaining the soul ring, he can use soul skills to eliminate the negative effects.

Seeing that Ling'er has already started developing, the side effects must be quite significant.

We can't stay in this Snowfall City for long, as the whale glue cannot be heated and softened here, so it cannot be taken.

It seems we still need to find a place in the Snowfall Mountains first and build a furnace.

Moreover, I only have one composite bow right now, and I need to forge two more.

With that in mind, Ding Quan bought some metal materials and tools on his way back to the hotel.

In a small forest near the Snowfall Mountains, beside a rough stove, Ding Quan put away the two assembled composite bows.

Then he took out a piece of darkened whale gelatin that had been roasting on the stove and kneaded it with his hands to make sure it had softened.

With a clench of his right hand, the Dragon Abyss Sword appeared in his hand. A yellow soul ring spun around Ding Quan's body. After inserting the Dragon Abyss Sword beside him, he swallowed the whale glue.

This is part of that ancient whale glue. Looking at the two sisters, Wei Ling and Wei Ling, who were also sitting cross-legged in the cave next to him with their faces flushed, he realized that absorbing this would be much easier for him.

He felt a surge of intense heat within his body, a strange sensation, and an impulse. Although his body wasn't fully developed due to the absorption of the soul ring, it was now capable of accomplishing some tasks.

No wonder Ma Hongjun spent countless years in brothels at the age of twelve; the physical development in Douluo Continent is far too advanced.

Suppressing the heat in his heart, Ding Quan hurriedly circulated his soul power, slowly absorbing this energy.

They had been in this place for over a month. It was a remote place with few people and no spirit beasts. Ding Quan and his companions found a cave here and settled down.

Ding Quan forged weapons, while the two sisters began to slowly absorb whale glue.

Over the past month, the two of them started taking the medication gradually from the lower dose. They just finished the last bit, and their physical condition has been greatly enhanced, while the effects of the whale gel have weakened considerably.

Ding Quan checked the two's physical attributes. Although they were very strong, they were still far from being able to absorb a thousand-year soul ring.

That's normal. If one could truly improve to that level, even ten thousand years later, a thousand-year soul ring wouldn't still be a configuration only available with three or four rings.

The two's current physical fitness can definitely absorb spirit rings of about six hundred years old, which is almost enough for the second spirit ring. Even many people's second spirit rings cannot reach this age.

Although their physical abilities are extremely strong, comparable to some great soul masters, their soul power is too low and their meridians are not strong, so they absorb soul ring energy from within.

It's likely that after the soul power is increased, the physical fitness will experience an explosive growth, and getting the next soul ring a thousand years shouldn't be a problem.

Through the reactions and effects of the two people absorbing whale glue, Ding Quan roughly understood the limits of whale glue.

That means the body must have already developed and be able to withstand the side effects of whale gel, otherwise the effect will be very poor.

The side effects of anti-whale glue require strong mental strength, and the mental will of these two people far exceeds that of their peers, which is why they were able to do this.

Ding Quan remembered that Huo Gua was able to absorb energy beyond his level because he used Tianmeng's spiritual power to seal a significant portion of the energy within the soul ring.

It seems that only those with strong mental power can experience such a significant improvement after consuming it.

After Ding Quan obtained his first spirit ring, his body developed rapidly, and he could feel his physical attributes improving quickly.

As my physical condition improves, the effects of the whale gel are indeed getting worse.

After summoning the Dragon Abyss Sword, the amplification effect of the martial soul on himself became much weaker, but the golden dragon tattoo on his body became even brighter.

It's unclear when this will become the norm, but Ding Quan's strength doesn't decrease much even without using the Dragon Abyss Sword.

Even without activating their martial spirit, they can unleash extremely powerful strength during battles.

An hour later, Ding Quan opened his eyes and saw that the sky had darkened. His two sisters were already preparing dinner, so it was time to get moving.

"Quan, you've absorbed everything, come and eat." Wei'er saw Ding Quan wake up and handed him a glass of water.

"Okay." Over the course of a month, the group's relationship grew stronger. The two sisters, being slightly older than Ding Quan, began to address him as Quan.

"Should we set off now?" Vera noticed that some of the parts that had been made at the furnace were gone, and it seemed that the composite bow had been completed.

"Good. Now that you've absorbed most of the whale glue, you can go hunt for spirit rings."

"That's great." Wei'er pulled Ding Quan directly to the stone table.

"But Quan, what kind of spirit rings should Wei'er and I absorb to decide which path to take?" Ling'er asked as she looked at the two of them approaching. She knew that Ding Quan had asked them to follow him because of their talent.

As for beauty, perhaps it exists, but it's not that important.

After all, Ding Quan had plenty of opportunities to take the whale gelatin, so he didn't actually make a move on them.

"Vell is undoubtedly an offensive type. As for Ling'er, what's your opinion?"

"My martial soul is the snow lotus, which allows me to control ice attributes. I also have mental attributes, so I have strong control abilities. Logically speaking, I am suited to the control-oriented path," Ling said after thinking for a moment.

"Quan, you said that martial souls are influenced by one's own mental will, and my ice control ability is mostly used for attack. I think I am more suitable for strong attacks. What do you think, Quan?" Ling said, looking at Ding Quan with some nervousness.

Ding Quan laughed upon hearing this, as a strong offensive style was indeed what Ding Quan hoped for.

Considering that the Ling and Wei'er sisters had been hiding for several years, it's understandable that Ling would be eager for power, so it's normal for her to have a strong desire to attack.

"Ling, don't worry about me. I already intended for you to go for an offensive build."

"real."

"Hmm, among the current Title Douluos, they only have one control-type, and he's the weakest among them. I've heard that his cultivation hasn't improved for over ten years."

"Quan, you even know about Title Douluo!" The two were very surprised. Title Douluo, as the top powerhouses on the continent, are respectfully addressed as Your Majesty.

Even the emperors of the two great empires did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

"You can find out these things by asking around."

"Quan, a Title Douluo is too far away for us." After more than a month, Ling'er knew that Ding Quan had big goals, but she did not expect that he would set his sights on a Title Douluo.

"Since you've chosen to come with me, set your sights on the highest peak. Even if you don't reach the top, you'll still have surpassed countless others when you look back."

"The spirit rings you're about to absorb will be up to 600 years old, which is longer than the second spirit ring age of many spirit masters. With your learning abilities, it's very possible that you'll surpass me in strength," Ding Quan said earnestly to the two sisters.

"Quan, you're right, but it'll be a bit difficult to surpass you." Ling smiled upon hearing this. It's a bit difficult for a one-ring Soul Master to overpower a Great Soul Master.

"Also, in the future, don't pay too much attention to my thoughts, just follow your heart."

"good!"

The next day! Sunny.

Several people, dressed in thick frost-proof clothing, walked on the snow-covered peaks.

Ding Quan shrank his neck. The Snowfall Mountains were indeed cold and the wind was extremely strong. Looking at the snow piled up in the distance and constantly being blown by the wind, it seemed that the snowfall in Snowfall City came from here.

Looking at the two people beside them, they didn't feel too cold. Wei'er's martial soul was a tiger, which made her very resistant to the cold.

Ling's martial soul is the Snow Lotus, which has the attribute of ice, so she is least affected here.

Ding Quan watched as the two sisters left no footprints in the snow, realizing their exceptional talent.

After explaining the method of controlling soul power to the two of them, they were able to achieve this level in less than a month.

It took Ding Quan nearly half a year to reach this level. At that time, he had to attend classes and work, so he didn't have continuous training or guidance.

In terms of talent, these two are the strongest people Ding Quan has ever seen, and their strength is also the strongest at this level.

Even Yu Gang, a one-ring Soul Master, might not be able to defeat the two who hadn't taken whale glue before.

With Yu Gang's straightforward fighting style, he would only be toyed with by the two of them.

Ding Quan even began to suspect that his time travel was orchestrated by someone else, who then sent two geniuses to his side.

"There's a group of spirit beasts over there, they look like cows," Vera pointed to a moving black dot in the distance.

The latest novel is first published here!

"It's a Gaoling Yak." This is a bovine spirit beast that lives in the Gaoling region. It is cold-resistant, strong, and has amazing endurance.

Soul Masters who hunt it will most likely obtain a power-type Soul Skill, or possibly a Soul Power storage-type Soul Skill.

"The tiger-type spirit beasts that Vera needs will feed on them, so we can follow them." Ling glanced at the distance; the territory of tiger-type spirit beasts was extremely vast, and finding them would not be easy.

"Let's hunt the soul beasts you need first. The soul beasts you need are plant-type, so they're much easier to find." Ding Quan looked at the mountain peak not far away.

Ling's martial soul is the snow lotus, so snow lotus-type soul beasts are the most suitable, and there must be quite a few snow lotus-type soul beasts here.

"Alright." The group headed towards the mountaintop, where more and more spirit beasts appeared, and they took out their composite bows.

Upon reaching a mountain peak, countless mountains and even higher peaks stand proudly ahead.

Indeed, the scenery at the top of the mountain was completely different from that at the bottom.

After arriving at the mountain peak, Ling gazed into the distance for a long time, feeling that the surrounding environment was exceptionally clear.

This place is said to be a perfect simulated training ground for Ling Xiu.

"Ling, how is it? Do you feel which place is more suitable for your cultivation?" Ding Quan asked, looking at Ling as she came back to her senses.

"This way!" Ling pointed in a direction, and Ding Quan was also surprised when he looked in that direction.

Golden snow-capped mountains?

No, it was bathed in golden light by the rising sun!

At the far end of that mountain, brilliant light shone through the clouds as a red sun rose.

Golden Mountain bathed in sunlight!

"How beautiful!" Vera exclaimed, gazing at the golden mountain peaks in the distance.

"Yes! Let's go, let's go over there." Ding Quan quickly walked in that direction. Although the scenery along the way was beautiful, they couldn't stop now.

Several hours later, the group had crossed several mountain peaks. Although they encountered a few snow lotus soul beasts along the way, they were not suitable for them.

They also encountered a few ice foxes and snow leopards, but their age was not suitable for Vera.

However, after traveling for so long, the age of the soul beasts here has reached over a hundred years.

The group slowed down.

Looking at the sun above their heads, several people decided to solve the problem of food and clothing first.

Just as she was about to sit down, Vera immediately stood up and sniffed the air.

Ding Quan sniffed, his expression changed slightly, and he glanced at Ling.

Sure enough, Ling's eyes lit up.

A refreshing fragrance wafted over, its aroma almost unsettling, capable of influencing one's spirit.

"This fragrance? How strange!"

"Quan, this fragrance can affect my mind. It should be a kind of flower-type soul beast, and it should have a mental attribute. I just don't know if it has an ice attribute." Ling walked towards the direction from which the fragrance came.

"In places like this, almost everything has ice properties, but I don't know if the age limit is suitable."

"Oh dear, we'll know if the age limit is right once we get there." Vera sped up and prepared to run forward.

"Wei'er, don't be impulsive, be careful it might be a trap." Ding Quan pulled her back.

"understood."

However, the strange fragrance did not have a serious effect on the group, as their mental strength was still quite good.

The group walked towards the direction of the fragrance and came to a small mountain hollow. There was a lot of snow in the hollow, and there was a beautiful flower that was more than a meter tall.

It looks like a lotus flower, with its petals being snow-white on the sides and becoming a bright red closer to the stamen.

"This is!"

"Snow Spirit Flower Fairy?" Ling was somewhat uncertain. This kind of soul beast was one of the ones they had planned to include.

It is a rare plant-type soul beast that possesses both ice and mental attributes, and both of these attributes are very strong.

This kind of spirit beast shouldn't appear in a place like this; it should be deeper in the Snowfall Mountains.

"It shouldn't be. The petals of the Snow Spirit Flower Fairy are white, not red," Ding Quan said, directly denying it as he looked at its alluring petals.

A kind of soul beast that few people know about. The knowledge about soul beasts is too little, and information about some strange soul beasts is only available to those top forces.

It currently only displays its spiritual attributes.

Just as Ding Quan and his companions were observing, a herd of yaks from the Gaoling Mountains walked towards the alluring flower.

This herd of yaks numbered more than ten, with a shoulder height of over three meters and a body length of over five meters.

Judging from their appearance, they are a group of hundred-year-old soul beasts, with an age of four or five hundred years.

The herd of mountain yaks seemed to be controlled, heading straight for the demonic flower.

Just as the herd of yaks arrived in front of the demon flower, the snow suddenly churned up, and blood-red, icy vines instantly pierced the two most robust yaks.

The icicles were extremely sharp, piercing through the yak's robust body instantly, but before its blood could flow, it was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Two bright yellow spirit rings rose instantly, their color even brighter than Ding Quan's first spirit ring.

After killing the two Gaoling yaks, the vines instantly retracted and pulled the two yaks into the snow.

Beneath the snow, Ding Quan saw many vines entwined with the remains of countless soul beasts.

After the demon flower dragged the two yaks into the snow, its petals began to close, turning into a snow-white, unopened flower, before slowly shrinking back into the snow.

As it retreated back into the snow, the surrounding snow began to slowly recover and return to its original state.

"Moo~!"*?

After the demonic flower completely disappeared, a group of yaks bellowed, struggled to their feet from the snow, and then quickly left.

Only two bright yellow spirit rings remained, indicating what had just happened.

Ding Quan and the others who witnessed the whole thing were stunned, but then burst into ecstasy.
