Douluo Continent: I am the Ice Archer, my ice power is invincible.

Chapter 98 Another Soul Bone, Sixty Thousand Years

Dean Zhao led Shui Bing'er and her group back to Tianshui Academy safely.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Xiao Han and Lin Zhiruo arrived at the Frozen Forest.

This time, their goal is to hunt down a soul beast with over 50,000 years of cultivation to become Xiao Han's sixth soul ring.

The outer perimeter of the forest was mostly inhabited by low-level soul beasts, so the two headed towards the center of the forest.

The surrounding scenery became increasingly desolate, with sparse trees and a thick layer of snow covering the ground, sending snowflakes flying with every step.

The biting wind was like a knife, but Xiao Han and Lin Zhiruo resolutely continued into the depths of the forest.

After several days of searching, they finally found their target in a secluded valley: a massive soul beast.

The soul beast was over six meters long, its entire body covered in crystal-clear ice armor, resembling a moving iceberg, radiating a chilling aura.

The crystal-clear ice armor shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight, seemingly indestructible.

Xiao Han and Lin Zhiruo exchanged a glance.

Lin Zhiruo and Xiao Han exchanged a smile.

"Hmm. Xiao Han, your mental perception is stronger than mine now; you detected it first."

Lin Zhiruo took a closer look and was startled when she discovered the source of the blue light.

After absorbing the 50,000-year-old spiritual skull, Xiao Han's spiritual perception was elevated to an unprecedented level, and he sensed the existence of this soul beast even earlier than Lin Zhiruo.

The Ice Armor Bear let out a final howl before its massive body crashed to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, it pounced on Xiao Han like a blue lightning bolt, its speed astonishing.

"Okay. Although it's a bit of a stretch, I believe you can handle its power."

When it is weakened, it will be easier to take it down.

"it is good."

"Xiao Han, just bear with it a little longer and continue to wear it down."

Lin Zhiruo remained focused and attentive, waiting by her side.

Xiao Han didn't give it a chance to catch its breath, and immediately fired another arrow.

She knew that this heavily armored bear was not easy to deal with, and that making a move too easily would only be a waste of her soul power.

Xiao Han drew back the bowstring once more, and with the Skull Soul Skill and Frost Shot working together, an invisible arrow with powerful penetrating force quietly took shape.

Its two huge bear paws slammed down on the ground.

As time passed, Xiao Han's breathing gradually became even.

The invisible arrow collided with the ice armor, producing a crisp "clang" sound. It only left a mark on the solid ice armor, without penetrating it.

Wisps of black mist slowly rose from the corpse of the Ice Armor Bear and began to condense.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Han's eyes narrowed, and he quickly adjusted his posture, preparing to unleash his fourth soul skill, Ice Burst Arrow.

Then, Xiao Han began to absorb the soul rings.

When he was in peak condition, the 60,000-year-old black spirit ring had fully condensed and taken shape.

Both of them felt the pressure of this force and had to retreat quickly to avoid being drawn in.

After dodging the attacks of the snow blades, Xiao Han swooped down again.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lin Zhiruo's seventh spirit ring suddenly shone, releasing her Martial Spirit True Form.

This energy ripple was like a sharp blade, snapping trees wherever it passed.

She could sense an increasingly strong fluctuation of soul power emanating from Xiao Han.

By constantly provoking it and inducing it to launch continuous and powerful attacks, you can inflict significant damage on it.

The Ice Armor Bear is one of the bear-type spirit beasts. In addition to possessing the immense strength characteristic of bear-type spirit beasts, it also has extremely powerful ice armor defense.

"Mom, then let's use it as my sixth spirit ring."

Roar--

Sensing the sudden attack, the Ice Armor Bear roared angrily, its massive body shuddering violently, sending the surrounding snow flying in all directions.

Instantly, the surrounding ground trembled as if struck by a giant hammer, and the accumulated snow was lifted high into the air, turning into snow blades that flew towards Xiao Han and Lin Zhiruo.

His soul power surged and condensed into the arrow, aiming at the only exposed head of the frozen body, and he shot the arrow.

Xiao Han and Lin Zhiruo quickly dispersed, simultaneously releasing their respective martial souls and soul rings to attack the ice-armored bear from both sides.

This put her at ease.

The Ice Armor Bear, exhausted, struggled angrily and helplessly, but could not break free from the absolute zero constraint.

The arrow traced a cold, clear path through the air, striking its target with pinpoint accuracy.

Both of them possess the ability to fly.

This arrow contains the power of both ice and cold fire.

"Xiao Han, retreat quickly! Don't be greedy for battle!"

"Mom, that's an Ice Armor Bear with 60,000 years of cultivation."

However, the Ice Armor Bear did not give up. It roared again, and its ice armor suddenly emitted an even more dazzling light.

"It's a soul bone!"

"What powerful defense!"

Lin Zhiruo believed that Xiao Han, in his current condition, was able to withstand a 60,000-year-old soul ring.

Xiao Han's heart tightened, and as he flew into the sky, he drew his bowstring taut, preparing to launch a counterattack.

"Xiao Han, you've succeeded. Get yourself ready and prepare to absorb the spirit ring."

He knew that only by facing such a formidable enemy could he truly test his strength.

The arrow pierced its forehead.

With a deafening roar, a violent explosion occurred on the Ice Armor Bear's head, instantly leaving tiny cracks all over its thick ice armor.

Suddenly, a sliver of icy blue light emanated from the corpse of the ice-armored bear.

Almost simultaneously with the aftershocks of the previous arrow's explosion, this invisible arrow struck the Ice Armor Bear's head directly, shattering the cracked ice armor.

The tentative attack failed to inflict any real damage on the Ice Armor Bear, but Xiao Han was not discouraged; instead, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Han's first spirit ring and the spirit bone on his forehead shone brightly at the same time.

Sure enough, after launching several fierce attacks, the Ice Armor Bear slowed down and its attacks were not as intense as the previous two.

Xiao Han couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Roar--

Moreover, the more powerful the spirit beast, the greater the boost it receives after absorbing its spirit ring.

Starting with his second spirit ring, Xiao Han absorbed spirit rings that exceeded the limits of what ordinary spirit masters could withstand, and their lifespans were all significantly longer.

Xiao Han's expression was relaxed, and apart from the beads of sweat on his forehead, he did not show any pain or struggle.

Xiao Han sat cross-legged and began to adjust his state.

In this battle, Xiao Han launched more attacks and gained valuable experience.

The first soul skill, Frost Shot, and the skull skill were combined into one, and an invisible arrow with powerful penetrating force shot towards the ice-armored bear without warning.

The Ice Armor Bear's counterattack was quite powerful; a slight misstep could result in severe damage.

Lin Zhiruo has not yet released her Martial Soul True Form.

Lin Zhiruo stood guard over him, both nervous and expectant.

Having absorbed the immortal herb and the spirit skull of exceptional quality, Xiao Han's physical strength and mental power are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

An even more powerful energy surge erupted from the Ice Armor Bear's body, accompanied by a deafening roar, and concentric circles of icy blue energy ripples spread outwards from it.

The Ice Armor Bear launched a counterattack with a roar.

"Minor Cold, it's time!"

A powerful freezing force surged from her body, instantly freezing the exhausted Ice Armor Bear, except for its head, into crystal-clear ice.

Although the Ice Armor Bear possesses extremely formidable strength and defense, it is simple-minded and has a volatile temper.
