Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 264 Thousand Paths Flows See the Serpent Spear

With the Blazing Shields of the Left and Right unable to be used for a short time, and Dai Mubai's divine arrangements made, Ning Rongrong returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Qian Renxue's problem was resolved. Han Feng had no reason to back down any further, so he naturally wouldn't go back on his word. After his injuries had almost healed, he decisively began the fourth divine trial of the defensive deities, sealed his soul power, and plunged headlong into the far north.

However, the divine test was far more difficult than Han Feng had imagined. Even though Han Feng's blood and qi power was now far greater than before, and his physical body could easily withstand a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, he still encountered various problems.

"At this rate, you think you can traverse the far north? I think it's more reliable to wait another 100,000 years!"

The mocking voice of the God of Defense echoed in his mind. Han Feng, hearing this, couldn't say anything, only chuckled awkwardly, and said sheepishly, "I'm just not used to it yet! In a couple of days, once I'm familiar with the environment of the far north, my speed will naturally increase!"

Two whole days have passed, and Han Feng hasn't even reached the outskirts of the far north yet, constantly jumping back and forth outside the far north.

It's not that Han Feng didn't want to enter the far north, it's just that he had no choice!

Qi and blood power are different from soul power. As a soul master, Han Feng can use his soul power to break through the wind and snow and travel in the far north as if walking on flat ground, so his speed is naturally not slow.

But the power of qi and blood is not as useful as the power of the soul!

The power of Qi and Blood is mostly manifested within the body, which is the guarantee that Han Feng can physically confront soul beasts. However, it is not as flexible and versatile as Soul Power. If you want to make Qi and Blood Power as easy to control as Soul Power, you must at least break through the Soul Saint realm in Body Refinement before Qi and Blood Power can be as effective as Soul Power.

At most, the blood and qi power of a Soul Emperor level can break out of the body and transform into some simple weapons!

Without the help of soul power, the strong cold winds of the far north, the solid ice that flies in from nowhere, and the deep ravines covered by heavy snow are Han Feng's greatest enemies!

Stumbling along, Han Feng himself didn't even know when he suddenly lost his footing and was blown away by the howling wind!

Han Feng has been blown away several times in the past two days!

Who told him to be so slim now!

Not to mention the extremely harsh weather in the far north, where avalanches and blizzards are commonplace!

Besides, food also became a problem that Han Feng had to consider. If he were a Soul Master, Han Feng wouldn't have to think so much. He could simply open his Soul Tool, take out the jerky and water inside. Although it was a bit unpalatable, it wouldn't starve him to death. But the problem was that Han Feng had sealed his Soul Power and couldn't even open his Soul Tool. Where would he get jerky?

The key is that Han Feng can only rely on his own blood and qi power, which leads to his extreme need for food!

Luckily, Han Feng had watched a few episodes of survival shows in his previous life, otherwise he would have been unable to move an inch!

Once the divine test truly began, Han Feng finally understood why it was a "defense of will" rather than a "defense of qi and blood"—faced with so many torturous things, if one's will wavered even slightly, one would probably give up!

"Elder Yu, what if I have to use my soul power midway through the divine test? Will I fail the test?" Han Feng climbed out of the snow again, clicked his tongue, and asked the God of Defense.

"Of course it counts as a failure!" The God of Defense's calm and collected voice rang out.

"Wow!" Han Feng exclaimed, exaggeratingly saying, "Elder Yu! Don't be so heartless! What if we run into that gorilla again? You can't just leave me sitting here waiting to die, can you?"

As his relationship with the God of Defense grew closer, and with the God of Defense's tireless cultivation, Han Feng had long regarded the God of Defense as a mentor and friend, and naturally his speech was no longer as reserved as it had been at the beginning.

"What are you thinking! If you fail, just start over! The divine test has a one-year time limit. No matter how many times you fail, as long as you succeed in the end, you'll pass!" The God of Defense said in a gruff voice, "I'm not some kind of demon!"

"You're so understanding, Elder Yu!" Han Feng's expression changed quickly as he chuckled and flattered.

"Hmph! Brat!" The God of Defense snorted lightly, cursing in a tone that was neither too harsh nor too soft.

Meanwhile, in the vast ancient palace of the God Realm, the God of Fire saw the faint smile on the face of the God of Defense, grinned, and knew that the God of Defense must be communicating with Han Feng again, so he did not disturb him and waited quietly to the side.

After a long while, the God of Defense finally suppressed his smile, saw the God of Fire in the corner, and said, "You've come!"

"Heh!" Kagami chuckled twice, rolled his eyes, and said dryly, "I've been here for a while now!"

"If you don't speak up, are you going to blame me?" The God of Defense glared, completely unaware of his poor hospitality.

The god of fire knew the god of defense's temper and didn't bother arguing with him. He shook his head and asked bluntly, "Defense, just say what you want! Why did you call me here?"

The God of Defense snorted, showing no courtesy to the God of Fire, and said in a low voice, "I'm telling you to inform the God of Ice! Get rid of that little soul beast quickly! That little soul beast keeps wandering around the Ice God's inheritance area, how is Han Feng supposed to get over there!?"

Although the Snow Empress has lived for tens of thousands of years and is older than most of the gods in the divine realm, the God of Defense is, after all, a person who came from the era of the Dragon God. It is reasonable for him to call the Snow Empress "little soul beast".

Upon hearing the name of the Ice God, a hint of unease flashed across the Fire God's face, but he calmly nodded and replied, "I understand!"

"Alright! You can leave now!" After giving his instructions, the God of Defense waved his hand, dismissing him.

The God of Fire had dealt with the God of Defense quite a bit during this time, so he knew the God of Defense's temperament. Without saying goodbye, he turned around and walked out of the vast ancient palace.

Meanwhile, at the Angelic Temple of the Spirit Hall, after casually tossing the Serpent Spear Douluo to the ground, Qian Jun Douluo respectfully withdrew with Qian Daoliu's permission.

Serpent Spear Douluo dared not be presumptuous in front of Qian Daoliu. He knelt down tremblingly, prostrating himself on the ground, his whole body soaked in cold sweat!

The current Serpent Spear Douluo is not in good shape. Due to the Blood Escape technique, he is emaciated and his body is also being attacked by Chen Xin's sword energy. At this time, the Serpent Spear Douluo's strength has been reduced by 70-80%, and he can barely only have the combat power of a Soul Douluo. He can't even use his Martial Soul True Body!

Even if Serpent Spear Douluo were at his peak, Qian Daoliu could kill him with a wave of his hand. However, the huge difference in strength made Serpent Spear Douluo extremely powerless. This powerlessness made Serpent Spear Douluo increasingly fearful and uneasy. He was a little smarter than Porcupine Douluo. Originally, he planned to find a place to recover from his injuries and then observe the situation before deciding whether to return to the Spirit Hall.

But what Serpent Spear Douluo didn't expect was that his whereabouts were completely invisible to Qian Daoliu, and Thousand Jun Douluo found him with ease!

Qian Daoliu glanced at the Serpent Spear Douluo without any joy or sorrow.

Qian Renxue is currently undergoing her first divine trial deep within the Angel Temple, receiving the baptism of angelic holy light. Qian Daoliu does not want anything to disturb Qian Renxue, so the Snake Spear Douluo's worries are unnecessary. Since he was able to enter the Angel Temple, it means that Qian Daoliu has no intention of killing him for the time being.

"Speak! Tell me everything Xue'er experienced in the Heaven Dou Empire!" Qian Daoliu said quietly, but to the Serpent Spear Douluo, it was like a sacred voice!

I'm not afraid of Qian Daoliu speaking, I'm afraid of him remaining silent!

Serpent Spear Douluo hurriedly recounted everything he had seen and heard within the Heaven Dou Royal Family, down to the smallest detail. He even repeated every word spoken by Porcupine Douluo and Qian Renxue in the days before Qian Renxue's identity was exposed!

Serpent Spear Douluo wasn't stupid either. By now, how could he not understand that Porcupine Douluo had deliberately concealed the truth back then out of fear of taking responsibility?

Furthermore, since the Porcupine Douluo sacrificed himself that day, forcing him to use Blood Escape to escape and ending up in this predicament, the Serpent Spear Douluo hated the Porcupine Douluo to the core. In his words, he shifted all the blame to the Porcupine Douluo—far outside the Spirit Hall, the Serpent Spear Douluo was unaware that the Porcupine Douluo had already been killed by Qian Daoliu!

The reaction of the Serpent Spear Douluo was exactly what Qian Daoliu had expected, so he didn't take it to heart.

But when Serpent Spear Douluo mentioned Han Feng, Qian Daoliu's eyes flickered, and he interrupted him, asking, "You mean, Xue'er has a younger brother, Han Feng, a student at Shrek Academy!?"

Serpent Spear Douluo, thinking he had said something wrong, immediately knelt down and kowtowed, repeatedly saying, "What I have said is absolutely true! Please, Grand Elder, investigate thoroughly!"

Even the Serpent Spear Douluo wouldn't dare to do that, but precisely because of this, Qian Daoliu's eyes became playful.

Qian Renxue's attitude towards Han Feng was practically a declaration that she would marry no one but him. On the other hand, Han Feng and Tang San were like brothers, and Qian Renxue clearly knew this. Furthermore, everyone knew about the Soul Master Competition—all of this made the situation complicated.

Qian Daoliu could be considered someone who knew the truth of everything. In Qian Daoliu's view, Han Feng and Tang San's friendship was not a big deal. Considering Han Feng's status as a successor of a god, Tang Hao's matter could be let go. After all, on the entire continent, apart from successors of gods, only Tang Chen and Poseidon were worthy of Qian Daoliu's attention.

Tang Hao and a 100,000-year-old soul beast are nothing but fleeting worldly matters to Qian Daoliu!

Only the gods are eternal!

That being said, Qian Daoliu still had to mention his granddaughter to warn Han Feng, since in Qian Renxue's eyes, Tang Hao was the murderer of her father!

After a moment's hesitation, Qian Daoliu said to Serpent Spear Douluo, "I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself! Go to the far north and tell Han Feng that I want to see him!"

Qian Daoliu originally planned to go there himself, but when he thought that Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong were both in the Spirit Hall, he gave up the idea.

"Yes!" Serpent Spear Douluo dared not have the slightest objection; he couldn't wait for Qian Daoliu to give him the order!
