Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 216 The Fourth Test Arrives

"Ah! Elder Yu..." Han Feng sighed with emotion as he recalled his conversation with the God of Defense.

However, the God of Defense in the divine realm clearly did not want to give Han Feng time to be moved. With a flash of light at his fingertips, the fourth trial of the God of Defense had already begun!

The fourth test of the God of Defense, the defense of will, requires sealing one's soul power and crossing the far north within eighty-one days without using any soul skills. One must temper one's body in boiling magma for eighty-one days, with a one-year time limit. The reward is 15% affinity with the God of Defense and an increase of one thousand years in the age of one's soul ring!

"I've taken care of things for you, you can get lost now!" In the vast ancient palace, the God of Defense snorted and waved his sleeve to dismiss the guest.

The Vulcan, being a guest, chuckled and wasn't angry, after all, the God of Defense had helped him out.

But the dust had settled, and the God of Fire, no longer afraid of the God of Defense going back on his word, asked curiously, "Defense! Tell me honestly, isn't that Han Feng your long-lost descendant? Actually, that kid looks quite like you! Don't worry, I absolutely won't tell anyone!"

boom!

As soon as the God of Fire finished speaking, he felt the entire vast palace pressing down on him, the savage aura making it hard for him to breathe!

"You look like my great-grandson, so why don't you call me 'ancestor'?!" The God of Defense roared in exasperation, his beard and hair standing on end!

The God of Fire chuckled awkwardly and hurriedly fled the ancient palace. The God of Defense was capricious, and who knew what he had done to offend him? To avoid the God of Defense getting serious, the God of Fire decided it was best to leave first. He didn't want to fight the God of Defense on his own territory!

After the God of Fire left, the God of Defense glanced at Han Feng in the plane, a strange glint flashing in his weathered eyes. He snorted irritably, "If I had such a descendant, how could my family have been destroyed by the enemy?"

Han Feng was completely unaware of anything in the realm of gods. When he saw the divine test that suddenly appeared before him, Han Feng's eye twitched involuntarily.

Han Feng had anticipated the emergence of a willpower barrier, but the content of this divine test was rather intriguing.

Han Feng had initially thought that the so-called Willpower Defense would allow him to hone his skills in the City of Slaughter, but he quickly dismissed this idea. He knew that the God of Defense and the God of Asura were at odds, and the City of Slaughter was the place of inheritance left by the God of Asura on the Douluo Continent. Sending him to the City of Slaughter would be like throwing a lamb to the slaughter!

Even if it weren't a killing capital, the God of Defense clearly didn't want Han Feng to have an easy time.

This incredible exam was like experiencing both extremes of heat and cold!

If Han Feng hadn't already possessed blood and qi power comparable to a level 49 Soul Master, he wouldn't have believed he could have completed this divine test!

Without using martial spirit or soul power, he traversed the far north and bathed in lava.

(Please remember the website 20 ...

A normal Soul Master, without Martial Soul and Soul Power, loses almost 99% of their strength. How can they resist the extreme cold of the far north or the heat of magma?

Not to mention the various powerful soul beasts in the far north!

At this moment, Han Feng seriously suspected that the God of Defense had made him complete his blood and qi defense first, and that he was probably waiting for him here!

"Fortunately, after absorbing the 100,000-year-old soul bone, my blood and qi power also improved. Although I didn't break through to the Soul King level in one go, I'm not far off!" Han Feng muttered to himself with relief, but soon his face fell, and he said, "However, breaking through is not an easy task. It seems I can't waste the last bit of time I have left with the Body Refining Secret Technique!"

Han Feng had already made up his mind. The time limit for the fourth test was one year, but the test content only required 162 days. The remaining 200 days were obviously left for Han Feng to prepare. As long as he could break through the Soul King level in his blood and qi power within these 200 days, Han Feng was confident that he could complete this divine test, barring any major misfortune!

What does it mean to be unlucky?

For example, encountering a 100,000-year-old soul beast in the far north...

"But... is there some deeper meaning to this location?" After making a plan, Han Feng hesitated, looking at the words "far north" and "magma" with a thoughtful expression.

The former has a specific requirement: crossing the far north. You must go to the far north. But the latter has no specific requirement. It just says boiling magma. There are so many active volcanoes in Douluo Continent. Does that mean any volcano will do?

In Han Feng's view, this situation could be due to either the extreme north having special significance for the defensive deities, or the phrase "boiling magma" having a deeper meaning!

Unable to figure it out, Han Feng clicked his tongue and could only turn to the God of Defense for help. He channeled his consciousness into the Divine Ancient Pearl and asked, "Elder Yu, does this boiling magma just need to be an active volcano?"

"Don't bother me! Figure it out yourself! Would I harm you?!" came the impatient voice of the God of Defense from the Divine Ancient Pearl.

Even the God of Defense hadn't expected Han Feng to be so meticulous, able to glean so much from the content of the divine test!

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Han Feng's lips twitched, and he abandoned his plan to ask the God of Defense.

"Xiao Feng! Have you come out of seclusion?" Just then, sensing that the soul power fluctuations in the seclusion room had subsided, Zhang Lingling and Han Dang hurriedly ran to the outside of the seclusion room and asked with concern.

Upon hearing Zhang Lingling's voice, Han Feng had no choice but to remove the "御" character from between his brows and get up to open the door to his parents' seclusion room.

As soon as Zhang Lingling saw Han Feng, she hugged him tightly without saying a word, complaining with concern, "You child! Why are you so disobedient! You've been in seclusion for more than ten days without eating or drinking. How can your body take it?!"

"More than ten days?" Han Feng pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then asked, "Mom, what about Teacher Tang?"

"You're already thinking about Yuexuan as soon as you get out? I told you to keep your guard up, but it seems you're just letting it go in one ear and out the other!" Zhang Lingling glared at Han Feng, clearly annoyed, but still said, "Don't worry! We already got you leave; you still have three days left!"

Han Feng smiled awkwardly, not daring to argue with Zhang Lingling.

Han Dang, on the other side, also spoke up. Seeing Han Feng's discomfort, he said to Zhang Lingling, "Alright! The child has just come out of seclusion. He hasn't eaten or drunk anything for more than ten days. Even an iron body can't take that. Let the child eat something first!"

Han Feng was about to refuse, after all, he had gained a lot from this seclusion, and he was not weak at all.

Before Han Feng could even speak, Zhang Lingling quickly nodded and hurriedly brought him a bowl of steaming soup.

Looking at the bowl of delicious-looking soup in front of him, Han Feng was actually quite hungry. Under the watchful eyes of Zhang Lingling and Han Dang, he ate with satisfaction.

"Xiao Feng, since you still have three days of vacation left, why don't you stop cultivating?" Zhang Lingling said gently, looking at Han Feng with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Han Dang glanced at his wife and said sternly, "That's right! You're not allowed to go anywhere for the next three days! Stay home with your mother!"

Han Feng initially wanted to refuse, but after seeing Zhang Lingling and Han Dang's expressions, he opened his mouth, but ultimately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes! As long as you two don't mind, I won't go anywhere for the next three days; I'll just hang around in front of you!"

Han Feng realized that he had been neglecting his parents since the Soul Master Competition ended. He spent his days either cultivating or in the Moon Pavilion. Zhang Lingling was alright, but sometimes he wouldn't even speak to Han Dang for two or three days!

Han Feng himself knew that he would be going on a long journey to gain experience in a few days, and at that time, he probably wouldn't be able to see him again!

Zhang Lingling was initially embarrassed and annoyed by Han Dang's words, but seeing Han Feng nod, she couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

She was just an ordinary woman who loved her husband and doted on her son. She had different ideas from Han Dang. She didn't ask Han Feng to become famous. She was already satisfied as long as Han Feng could stay with her, find a few beautiful wives, and live a happy life.

Although Han often said that she was being womanly, she didn't care—she simply didn't like fighting and killing, otherwise she wouldn't have turned a perfectly good Crimson Flame Martial Soul into a support character!

But Zhang Lingling also understood that her son was an outstanding individual, a prodigy destined for greatness. She could not hinder Han Feng's path because of her own selfish desires, so she never stopped Han Feng from cultivating.

Zhang Lingling was already very happy that Han Feng could spend three days with her!

Although she thought this to herself, Zhang Lingling still said reproachfully, "You child, all you do is make silly jokes! Where am I old? It's just you who keeps calling me old!"

Han Feng chuckled but didn't respond.

Zhang Lingling continued, "The day after tomorrow, invite Rongrong and Qianqian over so our whole family can have a meal together!"

As Han Feng and Qian Renxue met more often, Han Dang and Zhang Lingling also learned of Qian Renxue's existence. Of course, to avoid being exposed, Han Feng deliberately reminded them not to mention Qian Renxue in front of outsiders.

"My dear mother! Qianqian is in the palace; she can't just come and go as she pleases. Rongrong is also busy with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School..." Han Feng's face fell as he tried to persuade Zhang Lingling.

But Zhang Lingling wouldn't listen to any of that, she just said, "I don't care, I just want to see my daughter-in-law!"

Han Feng didn't notice the ambiguity in Zhang Lingling's words, and said somewhat sullenly, "She's not married yet!"
