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

After their trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, Lin Yi followed Sword Douluo Chen Xin back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

With the twin martial souls of Snow Lotus and Ice Dragon, innate level 30 soul power, and first and second soul rings reaching 300 and 500 years respectively, and third soul ring exceeding the conventional limit of 1,500 years... Although this information was strictly kept secret, Lin Yi's status within the sect had already quietly changed.

He was no longer that insignificant orphan, but the only direct disciple under Sword Douluo, an indispensable pillar for the sect's future.

After returning to his sect, Lin Yi's life became extremely regular, but also incredibly arduous.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin had extremely strict, even harsh, requirements for him.

Every day before dawn, under Chen Xin's supervision, he would undergo extreme training in various physical and agility techniques in the morning, aiming to strengthen his muscles and bones and unleash his potential.

The afternoon was dedicated to the repeated application and in-depth exploration of the three soul skills of the Snow Lotus Martial Soul, striving to achieve the goal of instantly activating the soul skills with the slightest thought, minimizing consumption, and maximizing the effect.

Chen Xin did not rush him to add a soul ring to the Ice Dragon Martial Soul, and rarely even mentioned it. He would only occasionally use his unparalleled sword intent to pressure Lin Yi, making him use the coldness of the Ice Dragon Martial Soul to resist it, thus honing his control over his second Martial Soul and his innate extreme ice attribute.

Under such intense training, Lin Yi's progress is obvious.

The profound foundation of the innate level 30 was fully activated, consolidated, and steadily improved.

A year passed quickly. When Lin Yi was seven years old, his soul power level had broken through from level 31 when he returned to level 35.

Such terrifying cultivation speed secretly alarmed Ning Fengzhi and the two Title Douluo who knew the inside story, making them even more convinced that this child's future was limitless.

It was also during Lin Yi's seventh year that Ning Fengzhi had an in-depth conversation with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

Inside the council hall, Ning Fengzhi looked at the two pillars of the sect before him and slowly said, "Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, Lin Yi is a child with excellent talent and temperament. He will surely become a pillar of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future."

Rongrong, that girl, is quite impulsive and we've spoiled her a bit too much. When she takes over the sect in the future, she'll likely need strong support.

Bone Douluo Gu Rong chuckled: "Feng Zhi, what do you mean?"

Ning Fengzhi turned his gaze to Chen Xin: "Uncle Jian, Lin Yi is your disciple. What do you think... how about arranging a marriage between him and Rongrong?"

In this way, as both a direct disciple and a future son-in-law, his connection with the sect will be even closer, making it perfectly legitimate for him to assist Rongrong in the future.

Chen Xin remained silent for a moment. He had devoted his life to the sword and disliked these worldly entanglements, but he also knew that Ning Fengzhi's words made sense. The union of Lin Yi and Ning Rongrong would be most beneficial to the stability and development of the sect.

More importantly, he watched Ning Rongrong grow up and treated her like his own granddaughter, so naturally he hoped that she would have a strong and reliable support in the future.

"Okay," Chen Xin finally uttered a single word.

The matter was thus settled. Soon after, a marriage contract was quietly established within the sect's upper echelons. Sword Douluo summoned Lin Yi to his side, his tone as calm as ever, yet carrying an undeniable weight: "Lin Yi, you and Rongrong are engaged. Remember, you are not only my disciple, but in the future you must wholeheartedly assist and protect Rongrong, and safeguard the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. This is your responsibility."

Lin Yi looked up at the teacher who had shown him such great kindness, and a childlike innocence and solemnity appeared on his face as he nodded vigorously: "Yes, teacher, I remember, I will definitely protect Rongrong."

However, deep within his lowered eyes lay a clear and understanding gaze.

How could he not understand the implications behind this childhood betrothal? To assist? To protect? He smiled silently to himself. The road ahead was long, and who would assist whom was still unknown. However, that little devil Ning Rongrong was indeed a girl who needed some care at this stage.

Time flies, and another year and a half has passed.

Under the strict supervision of Sword Douluo and his own unremitting efforts, Lin Yi's cultivation steadily improved.

When he was eight and a half years old, his soul power finally broke through the bottleneck of level 40!

An eight-and-a-half-year-old Soul Master! When the news spread, Ning Fengzhi and the two Douluo, who were in the know, were once again speechless with shock. This was beyond the description of a mere genius; it was simply monstrous!

With the breakthrough in level, acquiring a spirit ring became the next priority. Sword Douluo Chen Xin once again personally led Lin Yi to the outskirts of the far north to search for suitable spirit beasts.

This time, the goal is the fourth spirit ring. According to Chen Xin's plan, the age should be between four and five thousand years. It is necessary to challenge Lin Yi's limits while ensuring safety.

After searching for several days across the frozen snowfields, they finally found an "Extreme Ice Scorpion" with a cultivation level of about 4,500 years deep in a glacier crevice.

This soul beast's entire body was like a blue crystal sculpture, its scorpion tail shimmering with a deadly ghostly light, its movements were as swift as lightning, and its chilling aura carried strong paralyzing and freezing properties.

A fierce battle unfolded under Chen Xin's control, with the main purpose of allowing Lin Yi to personally experience the combat style of high-level soul beasts and the various applications of ice attributes.

Finally, the Seven Kill Sword was drawn, striking precisely and injuring him, allowing him to finish him off.

Absorbing this 4,500-year-old soul ring was several times more dangerous than the previous three times. The extreme ice scorpion's venom and violent soul power almost tore Lin Yi's meridians apart, and its icy baleful aura constantly assaulted his sea of ​​consciousness.

However, Lin Yi managed to suppress and refine them one by one by relying on his solid foundation, unwavering will, and the higher-level chill that spontaneously surged from the Ice Dragon Martial Soul within his body.

When he successfully absorbed the energy and stood up, his aura became increasingly condensed and profound, and the deep black halo of the fourth soul ring of the Snow Lotus Martial Soul pulsed slowly.

Fourth Soul Skill - Breath of Ice!

The effect is to continuously consume soul power and form an invisible layer of extreme cold on the body's surface.

This aura can significantly enhance one's own defense. More importantly, any enemy who comes into direct contact with him with their body or energy will suffer a strong backlash of coldness and has a certain chance of being instantly frozen. Even if they are not completely frozen, their movements and soul power circulation will be greatly slowed down.

A powerful soul skill that combines offense and defense, making it extremely suitable for close-quarters self-defense and controlling the battlefield!

Chen Xin sensed the effect of this soul skill, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.

This soul skill complements the previous "Ice Lotus Guardian," giving Lin Yi, a support-type soul master, a qualitative leap in survivability.

"Not bad. As a level 41 Soul Master, possessing such a Soul Skill, you have the strength to fight even against a power-attack type Soul Master." Chen Xin rarely gave such affirmation. "Go back! Consolidate your cultivation. Your journey is still long."
