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

After acquiring his fourth spirit ring and advancing to the Spirit Master level, Lin Yi's life focus underwent a subtle change.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin believes that one cannot achieve greatness by working in isolation; a true Soul Master needs to grow through trials of blood and fire.

Therefore, Lin Yi began systematic practical training over the next two years.

In his first year, he mainly followed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's training expedition teams.

These teams are usually led by sect deacons and consist mostly of young disciples in their twenties or thirties. Their mission is to hunt suitable low-level soul beasts, collect medicinal herbs, or handle affairs outside the sect.

In this team, Lin Yi plays the role of a pure support Soul Master.

He concealed the natural chill and sharpness of his Ice Dragon Martial Soul, revealing only his Snow Lotus Martial Soul. When the team encountered ten-year or hundred-year-old soul beasts, he did not directly participate in the attack, but instead lingered on the edge of the battlefield, precisely releasing "Healing Light" to restore the injured companions, or setting up "Ice Lotus Protection" to shield teammates facing fatal attacks.

Initially, the other disciples in the team didn't pay much attention to him because of his young age and the fact that he was a support character.

However, after several close calls, Lin Yi managed to escape danger thanks to his reaction speed, which far exceeded that of ordinary support soul masters, and his precise grasp of timing. As a result, the way people looked at him completely changed.

The wide-area "extreme cold domain" can slow down the speed of the soul beast horde at critical moments, creating a chance for the team to catch their breath.

He even used "Breath of Ice" to freeze an agile soul beast that was trying to sneak up on him the moment it touched the hem of his clothes, allowing his teammates to easily deal with it.

That year, Lin Yi not only mastered the four soul skills of the Snow Lotus Martial Soul, but also gained a deeper understanding of the essence of teamwork and how to protect himself and support others on the chaotic battlefield.

His soul power steadily increased through repeated consumption and recovery in actual combat, rising from level 41 to level 44.

The following year, Sword Douluo changed his training methods. He began to frequently take Lin Yi to the Soul Arena in various cities.

Here, Lin Yi no longer faces soul beasts with low intelligence, but all kinds of soul masters with ever-changing tactics.

Initially, Sword Douluo arranged for him to team up with a Soul Sect disciple who was skilled in either strong or agile attacks to participate in a two-on-two Soul Battle.

On the small yet highly anticipated arena, Lin Yi's support abilities underwent a true test.

He needs to anticipate his opponent's target and attack route, and decide in the blink of an eye whether to apply healing or activate a shield, whether to use "Extreme Cold Domain" to restrict his opponent, or rely on "Breath of Ice" for passive defense or even to ambush his opponent.

His cooperation with his teammates went from unfamiliar to tacit. The powerful support ability of the Snow Lotus Martial Soul made him famous with each victory, but it also attracted more targeted tactics.

This forced Lin Yi to constantly adjust his rhythm and the order in which he released his soul skills, causing his combat wisdom to grow rapidly.

Afterwards, Sword Douluo added him to a seven-person team composed of peripheral soul masters from the sect, to participate in more complex and unpredictable team soul battles.

In the chaotic seven-on-seven battle, Lin Yi truly understood the importance of a strategic perspective. He no longer only focused on his own teammates, but also had to constantly pay attention to the movements of the opposing support and control-type Soul Masters to judge the overall direction of the battle.

His "Pure Lotus Guardian" and "Extreme Cold Domain" abilities were brought to their fullest potential in team battles, turning the tide of battle multiple times at crucial moments.

Two years in the Soul Arena had shed Lin Yi's last trace of naivety, and his eyes had become calm and sharp. His combat experience, on-the-spot adaptability, and precise control over his soul power had all reached a level that was difficult for his peers to achieve.

His soul power level also climbed from level 44 to level 47 during this intense forging process.

After leaving the Soul Arena, he returned to his sect for intensive cultivation. A year and a half later, when Lin Yi was eleven years old, his surging soul power finally broke through its bottleneck once more, reaching level fifty!

An eleven-year-old Soul King! This news once again stirred up a storm in the hearts of Ning Fengzhi and the two Douluo, who were already numb to such things. This had exceeded their understanding of "genius".

Obtaining his fifth spirit ring was imperative. Sword Douluo Chen Xin's expression was solemn; this time, he intended to challenge even greater limits.

Based on Lin Yi's ability to withstand the first four spirit rings, as well as his current physical strength and mental power, Chen Xin set his sights on a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, and not just one that had just passed ten thousand years, but one that was eleven thousand years old!

The two once again stepped into the core area of ​​the far north, where the environment was even colder and the spirit beasts were becoming more powerful and terrifying.

The search was fraught with danger, and they even encountered terrifying beings with tens of thousands of years of cultivation. Only Chen Xin's powerful strength allowed him to narrowly escape.

Finally, atop a towering iceberg, they found their target—a giant ape over ten meters tall, its body covered in thick, sapphire-like ice armor, its muscles bulging, exuding a primordial aura. A ten-thousand-year-level soul beast, the Titan Ice Ape! Its cultivation level was over eleven thousand years!

This Titan Ice Ape possessed terrifying strength and defense; with a mere gesture, ice cliffs crumbled, and its roars were deafening. Even Sword Douluo dared not be careless in the slightest.

The Seven Kill Sword revealed its true form, and it seemed that only that giant sword that cut through everything remained in the world.

An earth-shattering battle erupted atop the iceberg between a titled Douluo and a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

Sword energy crisscrossed, ice shards flew everywhere, and a tremendous roar echoed across the land. In the end, Chen Xin, relying on his unparalleled cultivation and attack power, found the weak point in the Titan Ice Ape's defense and struck it with his sword. Lin Yi finished it off with a finishing blow, ending the life of this overlord-level soul beast.

A black spirit ring, as deep as the night sky yet radiating a heart-pounding energy fluctuation, slowly rose up. The faint red patterns on it indicated that it surpassed the quality of ordinary ten-thousand-year spirit rings.

"The energy and soul vibration contained in the soul ring of an eleven-year-old Titan Ice Ape far surpass any soul ring you've absorbed before." Chen Xin looked at Lin Yi, his tone more serious than ever before. "Guard your mind and guide your soul power. I will protect you, but ultimately, you must rely on yourself!"

Lin Yi nodded emphatically, sat down cross-legged, and probed the black soul ring with his spiritual power and soul power.

boom--!

Energy, like a volcanic eruption, surged into his body instantly, ten times more violent than when he had his fourth soul ring! Not only that, but a soul power filled with violence, savagery, and icy coldness slammed into his sea of ​​consciousness like a heavy hammer—it was the undying fighting spirit of the Titan Ice Ape!

A thick layer of ice instantly formed on Lin Yi's body surface, and his meridians were torn apart by excruciating pain. His consciousness was almost overwhelmed by the violent will.

He gritted his teeth and frantically circulated his soul power. The cool aura of the Snow Lotus Martial Soul and the extreme cold of the Ice Dragon Martial Soul simultaneously protected his body, one repairing and the other suppressing.

His mental energy was highly concentrated, resisting the impact on his soul like a rock.

This was an extreme test of will and strength. Time seemed to stretch on forever.

Under Chen Xin's worried gaze, Lin Yi's body trembled violently several times, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but he eventually stabilized the situation and tamed and absorbed the violent energy bit by bit.

After an unknown amount of time, when the last trace of violence was purified, the deep black spirit ring was perfectly fitted onto the Snow Lotus Martial Soul, and slowly pulsed along with the other four spirit rings.

Lin Yi opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming with a sharp light. The powerful aura of a level 50 Soul King was released without reservation, even more solid and substantial than that of an ordinary newly promoted Soul King.

Fifth Soul Skill - Pure Lotus Blossoms!

The effect is to instantly release the primal power of the Snow Lotus Martial Soul, forming a huge purification field centered on itself.

Within the area of ​​effect, all friendly units receive a powerful group heal, restoring approximately 70% of their injuries and dispelling most negative status effects. Simultaneously, it instantly restores 70% of the consumed soul power to friendly units!

This is a strategic-level soul skill capable of changing the course of a battle! It combines group healing with group soul power recovery, making it a god-tier skill in prolonged battles or desperate situations!

Chen Xin sensed the effect of this soul skill, and even with his composure, he couldn't help but be moved. This child's future achievements might truly surpass those of everyone he had ever seen.

"Very good." Chen Xin suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said calmly, "A level 50 Soul King with such a Soul Skill, no one in the younger generation on the continent can surpass you. Go back, you need time to fully digest this improvement."
