Douluo Continent: Snow Lotus, Ice Dragon, Ice Phoenix, My Three Lifetimes Martial Soul

The cold and domineering pressure was like a tangible swamp, instantly enveloping the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye Valley, even causing the active ice and fire elements in the air to seem to freeze.

Accompanied by that angry shout, a dark green figure appeared like a ghost in the poisonous miasma at the entrance of the valley. It was none other than the master of this place, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo!

He clearly sensed the abnormality in the herb garden through some kind of intuition and rushed back.

At this moment, his emerald green snake eyes were fixed on Lin Yi, who was rapidly collecting immortal herbs. Especially when he saw the Qiluo Tulip in Lin Yi's hand that had just disappeared, and the medicine garden around him that was obviously much emptier, a huge rage surged to the top of his head!

These miraculous herbs are the key to his ability to suppress the deadly poison in his body and prolong his life, and they are also his hope for future breakthroughs!

"You little thief! Prepare to die!"

In his rage, Dugu Bo didn't bother to look closely at the white-clad man beside Lin Yi, whose aura was restrained. His withered hand suddenly shot out, his five fingers forming a claw. The thick, dark green poisonous mist instantly condensed into a ferocious phantom of a Jade Phosphorous Serpent King, carrying a pungent, fishy smell and a deadly poison that corroded everything, and viciously devoured Lin Yi's back!

The power of a titled Douluo's furious attack is terrifying. If it hits, even with Lin Yi's current strong physique, he will definitely be either dead or crippled!

However, just as the illusory image of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King was about to touch the hem of Lin Yi's clothes...

"Buzz!"

A clear, melodious sword cry seemed to come from beyond the heavens, or perhaps it resonated deep within the soul.

Without any visible movement, an extremely condensed and pure silver sword intent appeared out of thin air behind Lin Yi, arriving before him.

That sword intent was not a physical entity, yet it was sharper than any divine weapon. It simply hovered there quietly, as if it had existed since time immemorial, representing the rule of severing everything!

"laugh--"

The menacing phantom of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King vanished without a trace the moment it came into contact with the wisp of silver sword intent, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun. It vanished silently without even causing a ripple. The dense poisonous fog was also purified and dispelled by an invisible force, as if it had never existed.

Dugu Bo's sure-fire strike was so easily neutralized!

His forward momentum abruptly froze, and the anger on his face was instantly replaced by extreme horror.

He stared intently at the slowly dissipating silver sword intent, and at the white-robed old man who had turned around at some point and was now looking at him calmly.

"Seven...Seven Killings Sword Intent?!" Dugu Bo's voice trembled slightly. He recognized this unparalleled sword intent and the identity of the person before him. "Sword...Sword Douluo?!"

Chen Xin's expression was calm, his gaze like two invisible swords falling on Dugu Bo. He didn't speak, but the invisible pressure made Dugu Bo feel as if thousands of sword energies were hanging above his head, ready to fall at any moment and cut him into dust!

Level 91 versus Level 96, and the world's number one attack titled Douluo! The difference between them is like an insurmountable chasm!

All of Dugu Bo's anger and resentment were forced back down in the face of such an absolute disparity in strength.

He had no doubt that if he dared to make the slightest move, the Seven Kill Sword would pierce his heart in the next instant.

He forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, concealing all his soul power fluctuations and poisonous gas, and respectfully bowed to Chen Xin: "I didn't know it was Sword Douluo His Majesty who had arrived. I, Dugu Bo, was just being reckless and offended you greatly. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

He kept a very low profile, but his heart was filled with surprise and uncertainty. How could Sword Douluo Chen Xin appear in his herb garden?

And he was with a teenager?

That despicable boy is actually picking his immortal herbs! Could it be that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has also set its sights on this place?

Chen Xin then spoke slowly, her voice cold and devoid of any warmth: "Dugu Bo, this is my young disciple Lin Yi. I brought him out to train, but the young man was ignorant and wandered into this place by mistake. He didn't know that this place was unclaimed and picked some of your herbs. It was his fault."

His words, seemingly criticizing Lin Yi, actually revealed Lin Yi's identity as Chen Xin's disciple! He downplayed the nature of the intrusion and the theft of the immortal herbs, using phrases like "accidentally" and "somewhat."

Dugu Bo's lips twitched slightly. "A few" herbs?

He's not blind; that kid has practically plucked his herb garden bare!

Especially those few most precious ones... but he dared not speak his anger, and could only go along with the topic and say, "I dare not, I dare not! Since you are the esteemed disciple of Sword Douluo, then... then consider these herbs as a gift from me to my nephew."

His heart was bleeding as he said those words.

He had cultivated and protected these miraculous herbs for countless years; they were the foundation of his longevity!

Chen Xin could naturally see Dugu Bo's resentment, but he didn't care and continued, "My disciple acted rashly, so I, Chen Xin, owe you a favor for this matter."

A favor!

A favor from Sword Douluo Chen Xin!

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's heart skipped a beat.

This promise is invaluable! In some ways, it's even more precious than the immortal herbs that were picked!

After all, what use is a magical herb if you lose your life?

With Sword Douluo's favor, there might be a better chance of survival if we encounter a life-or-death crisis in the future!

The pain in my heart lessened considerably, and I even had a vague feeling that this deal... might not have been a bad one?

"Your Majesty is too kind. These are merely herbs, nothing to speak of," Dugu Bo quickly replied, his expression softening considerably.

Just then, Lin Yi had finished collecting the last target herb and walked to Chen Xin's side.

He bowed respectfully to Dugu Bo, neither humble nor arrogant: "Junior Lin Yi, I was unaware that this place belonged to Senior. I picked some herbs and offended Senior. Please forgive me."

Dugu Bo looked at Lin Yi with a complicated expression.

That kid's got guts and a sharp eye!

Pick only the best!

Moreover, being able to remain so composed in front of Sword Douluo must mean he is Chen Xin's disciple.

Chen Xin glanced at Lin Yi, then said to Dugu Bo, "Furthermore, I observe that the extreme cold of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye here is extremely beneficial to my disciple's cultivation, even more so than ordinary simulated environments. If he wishes to come here to cultivate using the Ice Eye in the future, I hope you will not stop him."

What?!

Are you coming again?!

Dugu Bo's eyelids twitched, and the anger he had just suppressed began to rise again.

This place is his lair, his herb garden, and his place of cultivation!

Is it acceptable for an outsider to come and go as they please?

But when he looked into Chen Xin's calm yet unquestionable eyes, and felt the faint Seven Kill Sword Intent locking onto him, all his resentment and anger eventually turned into helplessness and a trace of fear.

Level 91 and Level 96 are two completely different concepts.

Faced with absolute power, all his trump cards and methods of using poison seemed pale and powerless.

Refuse? He had no doubt that Sword Douluo would simply take it by force.

"...Since it is beneficial to my nephew's cultivation, there is nothing wrong with it." Dugu Bo said this almost through gritted teeth, his heart filled with bitterness.

Now look what's happened! My house was burgled, and I have to allow the thief to come in and practice whenever he wants...

"In that case, thank you very much." Chen Xin nodded slightly, indicating that an agreement had been reached.

He wasn't worried that Dugu Bo would go back on his word; in the face of absolute power, any little schemes would be futile.

The matter is settled! We leave the Valley of Ice and Fire.

Chen Xin then intended to take Lin Yi away from Shrek Academy, so that he could continue to stay by Ning Rongrong's side...

"Teacher, I won't be going back to Shrek Academy for now," Lin Yi retorted.

Chen Xin looked at him, her eyes questioning.

"Teacher, I won't be returning to Shrek Academy for now," Lin Yi said solemnly. "Please take me back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I have urgent business to discuss with the Sect Master. It's of great importance; the immortal herbs I just gathered are extremely useful..."

He held in his hands the Qiluo Tulip, which could resolve the flaws in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's martial soul, as well as many immortal herbs that could greatly enhance strength. This matter concerned the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and had to be handed over to Ning Fengzhi immediately.

As for Shrek Academy, it won't be a big deal if they go back a few days later. The immortal herb is in their hands, and so is the initiative.

Chen Xin gave Lin Yi a deep look. Although she didn't know the specifics, seeing his serious expression, she guessed it must be something extraordinary.

He nodded: "Okay."

Without another word, Chen Xin's sword intent surged once more, enveloping Lin Yi and transforming into a dazzling sword rainbow. Ignoring the poisonous miasma outside the valley, it soared into the sky and vanished instantly into the horizon.

Dugu Bo was left alone, standing in the messy herb garden, looking at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, which looked much emptier after most of the immortal herbs had been plucked. His face turned pale and then red.

He clenched his fist, but then helplessly let it open.

"Sword Douluo... Lin Yi... Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School..." he murmured to himself, his eyes filled with complex emotions. "So be it... so be it... Sword Douluo's favor in exchange for all this... isn't too bad..."

He tried to comfort himself, but only he knew the frustration he felt inside.

After this incident, half of his medicinal herb garden was ruined.

At this moment, Lin Yi, on the Seven Kill Sword, stroked the vital Qiluo Tulip in his storage bracelet, his eyes bright.

The future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and even the entire continent, may be dramatically altered by his "interception" and return. He is taking steps towards an even higher stage.

This is what he was thinking: it's better to give the Qiluo Tulip to Ning Fengzhi than to Ning Rongrong...
