Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 239 The Frustrated Qian Renxue

"Still not working..." On the icy plains of the far north, Han Feng slowly opened his eyes, looking at the three soul rings behind him—one purple and two black—and couldn't help but feel somewhat discouraged.

The environment of the far north is extreme, and the number of soul beasts is scarce. Often, as far as the eye can see, there is no trace of any living creature except for ice and snow. In addition, Han Feng dares not approach the core area of ​​the far north, where powerful soul beasts are even rarer. Most of them are soul beasts that are hundreds or thousands of years old, and soul beasts with abilities that meet Han Feng's requirements are even rarer!

Due to various restrictions, Han Feng has only found three suitable soul beasts in the past two days—one of which, the Ice Crystal King Butterfly, was told to him by the God of Defense!

However, none of these three soul beasts gave Han Feng the soul skill he wanted.

In order to take Qian Renxue away in front of Gu Rong and the others, Han Feng needs two soul skills: one for invisibility and one for escape!

Because of the existence of the Supreme Defense Isolation Domain, Han Feng was confident that he could block the perception of Gu Rong and others. However, to isolate the spiritual power of a Title Douluo, the required soul power was far more than a little. Han Feng had to complete what he wanted to do in the shortest possible time!

So far, Han Feng has acquired the invisibility soul skill, but the ability to escape remains a long way off.

The first soul skill was taken from the Ice Crystal King Butterfly, which is 15,000 years old, but it has nothing to do with the ever-changing form of the Ice Crystal King Butterfly. Instead, it gave Han Feng a soul skill called "Frosty Breath", which has an extremely outstanding ability to deal continuous damage. The soul skill is undoubtedly excellent, but it is not what Han Feng wanted.

The second soul skill was taken from a 13,000-year-old Snow Concealing Ape. This kind of soul beast has no other ability but its ability to hide is first-class. It can completely blend into the surrounding environment. Han Feng only discovered it by chance.

And this Snow-Hidden Old Ape did not disappoint Han Feng, indeed giving him a soul skill similar to invisibility—Snow Concealment Mirror.

This soul skill can create an ice field, allowing people hiding within it to become invisible by reflecting the environment. Although it is still somewhat different from the soul skill Han Feng wanted, and its shortcomings are obvious, it is better than nothing!

Han Feng's third soul skill was taken from a nine-thousand-year-old icefield leopard.

It's not that Han Feng doesn't want a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, it's just that time doesn't allow it!

To Han Feng's disappointment, this ice leopard, known for its speed, did not give him the soul skill he wanted.

The soul skill given to him by the Icefield Leopard is called Shadow Strike Ice Strike. As you can tell from the name, it is a powerful offensive soul skill. It is very fast and does have a displacement effect, but it consumes a lot of soul power and cannot be used repeatedly. Moreover, it has a fatal flaw - it cannot be activated at the same time as Snow Concealment Realm!

What Han Feng regretted most was that before this Icefield Leopard, he had found the even faster Snow Swallow, but unfortunately, Snow Swallows mostly travel in groups, and the leading Snow Swallow King had a cultivation of 50,000 years. Han Feng did not dare to even think of spying on it!

Furthermore, Han Feng cannot fly, so even if it is a lone thousand-year-old snow swallow, Han Feng can only stare helplessly!

As time ticked by, Han Feng felt utterly frustrated, like a headless fly trying his luck in the far north after a series of failures.

"Kid! What exactly do you want to do!?" Just as Han Feng was feeling sorry for himself, the God of Defense's disappointed voice rang in his mind.

The God of Defense was truly angry. Han Feng had previously said he wanted a soul ring with a shorter lifespan that was easier to absorb. The God of Defense originally thought that ten thousand years was the limit, but he never expected that Han Feng would be so indiscriminate as to not even spare a thousand-year-old soul beast!

With Han Feng's current resources, even a 50,000-year-old soul ring wouldn't be impossible for him to absorb!

Sensing the anger in the God of Defense's words, Han Feng gave a wry smile and quickly explained, "Elder Yu, actually I just wanted a movement soul skill for quick escape..."

Upon hearing this, the God of Defense remained silent for a moment, then his voice grew heavier as he asked in a low, serious tone, "You intend to assassinate?"

With an invisibility soul skill, a long-distance escape soul skill, and Han Feng's third soul skill, it's all clearly designed for doing bad things!

Han Feng opened his mouth, gave an awkward smile, and without offering any explanation, simply said, "More or less!"

"You're still missing a long-range escape soul skill?" The God of Defense naturally noticed the hesitation in Han Feng's words, but didn't ask further. He simply pondered for a moment and continued, "Are you in a hurry?"

"I'm in a great hurry!" Han Feng nodded heavily and said resolutely.

Upon hearing this, the God of Defense realized that Han Feng was determined to obtain the soul skill he wanted in the shortest possible time, even at the cost of sacrificing the future development of his second martial soul!

Thinking this, the God of Defense snorted coldly and said, "Twenty miles ahead, you'll find what you're looking for!"

Rather than letting Han Feng stumble upon something by sheer luck, it's better to let him get the soul ring he wants as soon as possible. After all, the God of Defense has seen how stubborn Han Feng is. If Han Feng is really pushed to the limit, he might not even let go of a hundred-year soul ring!

If Han Feng's second spirit were to absorb a hundred-year spirit ring, the God of Defense would suffocate himself!

How can a descendant of a deity have a yellow ring appear in the soul ring configuration of his second martial soul?!

"Really!?" Han Feng was overjoyed and exclaimed instinctively.

The God of Defense did not answer Han Feng, seemingly still angry. Han Feng didn't mind and started running forward!

"Hmph!" Looking at Han Feng's impatient expression through the flat surface before him, the God of Defense snorted lightly, thinking to himself, "I must get the Ice God to find a way to make this kid reforge those few spirit rings! What a bunch of crooked and broken things!"

Leaving aside Han Feng in the far north, the murderous aura that had permeated the sky above Xingluo City finally faded away the day after Han Feng left. Dai Mubai walked out of the Xingluo ancestral land, and Zhu Zhuqing was already waiting outside the Xingluo ancestral land. In fact, apart from the short period of time when she saw Han Feng off, Zhu Zhuqing had been guarding outside the Xingluo ancestral land, fearing that the Xingluo Emperor would attack Dai Mubai again!

Dai Mubai had long since concealed his divine nature, and at this moment he looked no different from before entering the Star Luo Ancestral Land, except for his eyes!

Compared to Dai Mubai's previous gaze, Dai Mubai's gaze was now even more arrogant, haughty, and unrestrained, as if nothing in the world was worthy of his attention!

Dai Mubai looked outside but didn't see Han Feng. His eyes dimmed.

He also wanted to tell Han Feng how powerful a deity he had inherited!

When Dai Mubai first learned that Han Feng had inherited a second-level godhood, he was extremely envious!

Zhu Zhuqing noticed the change in Dai Mubai's expression. Her pretty face immediately turned cold, and she snorted and turned to leave. Dai Mubai quickly chased after her, grabbed her arm, and, ignoring her resistance, forcefully pulled her into his embrace, asking softly, "What's wrong?"

"You and Han Feng go over there!" Zhu Zhuqing blushed at Dai Mubai's domineering actions, but her jealousy still made her scold him, sounding extremely resentful.

"Uh..." Dai Mubai's smile froze. He never expected Zhu Zhuqing to get angry over something like this. He, who always prided himself on being an old hand in love, didn't know how to answer for a moment!

"Mu Bai, you're out?" Just as Dai Mu Bai was at a loss, the Star Luo Emperor 'coincidentally' appeared outside the Star Luo Ancestral Land, looking down at Dai Mu Bai and indifferently questioning, "What exactly happened in the Ancestral Land?"

Dai Mubai, who possessed the divine nature of the Heavenly Fiend, was subconsciously dissatisfied with the arrogant attitude of the Star Luo Emperor, and a faint murderous aura flowed from his heterochromatic eyes.

The murderous intent in Dai Mubai's eyes was naturally caught by the Star Luo Emperor, which greatly enraged him. He let out a heavy snort and shouted sharply, "Dai Mubai! Do you want to defy me?!"

An overwhelming pressure descended from the sky. Zhu Zhuqing was startled and hurriedly took out the token that Han Feng had given her. But before that, Dai Mubai waved his hand, and the evil energy remaining in the Star Luo Ancestral Land surged out, directly shattering the Star Luo Emperor's pressure!

This caused Emperor Xingluo's tiger-like eyes to narrow!

"Father!" Dai Mubai's eyes darkened. With the power left within him by the Heavenly Fiend God, he was not afraid of the Star Luo Emperor. He said in a deep voice, "Whatever happened in the ancestral land, you can go and see for yourself! Why ask me!?"

Although Dai Mubai has been staying in the Star Luo Ancestral Land, it does not mean that he is completely unaware of what is happening in the outside world!

Dai Mubai knew perfectly well what the Star Luo Emperor had done when he inherited the divine power!

Dai Mubai's utterly disrespectful tone enraged the Star Luo Emperor, but fearing the malevolent aura emanating from the Star Luo ancestral land, he forcibly suppressed his anger. Knowing Dai Mubai was aware of his actions, he took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Mubai! I know you harbor resentment, but the situation was critical at the time, and I didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse!"

"But now that you have left the ancestral land and are imbued with the will of your ancestors, from this day forward, you are the Crown Prince of Xingluo!"

The Emperor of Xingluo's tone was completely devoid of apology; on the contrary, it was extremely stiff. He only said those words to shut Dai Mubai up.

"There's no need for that!" Dai Mubai sneered, no longer bothering with the Star Luo Emperor's pleasantries, and mocked, "This Crown Prince! Let whoever wants to be it be it! You stay on the throne! Just don't pass it on to me!"

"You!" The Star Luo Emperor's face twisted in fury, but seeing the Bone Douluo Token in Zhu Zhuqing's hand and the murderous aura gathering within the Star Luo Ancestral Land, he ultimately refrained from attacking. His fist clenched tightly within his imperial robes as he roared, "Fine! Since you won't be the Crown Prince, I'll let Davis be!"

Having said that, the Star Luo Emperor turned and left!

Dai Mubai watched the departing figure of the Star Luo Emperor and let out a silent, cold laugh.

So what if Davis became the crown prince?

In the future, the Star Luo Empire will be his whenever he wants!

"Are you leaving?" Zhu Zhuqing asked Dai Mubai softly after the Star Luo Emperor had left.

Dai Mubai was silent for a while, then nodded. The Heavenly Fiend God was a first-level deity, and each of his divine trials was extraordinary. The first divine trial required him to leave the Star Luo Empire!

"I'll go with you!" Zhu Zhuqing hugged Dai Mubai tightly, looking like she would never let go.

Dai Mubai gave a wry smile and gently advised, "Be good! Wait for me in Xingluo!"

The Heavenly Fiend God is no benevolent deity. His first divine test required Dai Mubai to single-handedly kill three ferocious soul beasts brimming with murderous aura within a year—the weakest of these soul beasts had a cultivation level of at least 40,000 years!

Even if Dai Mubai possesses the divine nature of the Heavenly Fiend, he wouldn't dare say he could definitely complete it. Why would Dai Mubai bring Zhu Zhuqing along for such a perilous task?

With Gu Rong's token, Dai Mubai wasn't worried about Zhu Zhuqing encountering danger in Xingluo City!

But Zhu Zhuqing ignored her, instead staring into Dai Mubai's eyes with her watery gaze, and softly asked, "Are you going to leave me alone again?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai was taken aback and could no longer utter any words of refusal. He smiled indulgently and helplessly, and could only nod.

"That's more like it!" Seeing Dai Mubai agree, Zhu Zhuqing's resentful expression vanished, replaced by her usual aloofness. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she said to Dai Mubai with a playful tone, "Oh, right! Your beloved horse was taken away by your good brother, so you'll have to run away on your own!"

"What?" Dai Mubai's expression froze, and he shouted in surprise and anger.

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue of Tiandou City was not so relaxed; on the contrary, she was extremely irritable!
