Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 290, Fourth Test Completed!

Sixty days later, Han Feng sat cross-legged on the churning lava, his brows furrowed, looking quite unwell.

As early as the fiftieth day of the trial, Han Feng had no interest in playing the flute or figuring out his own soul skills!

Eighty days had passed, and Han Feng was now completely exhausted!

Most of the moisture in his body had already been lost. Now Han Feng felt stiff all over, his thinking was extremely slow, and all his bodily functions had reached their limits. His skin was no longer as smooth and smooth as before, but instead looked like an old man's, all gray and dull, his face was ashen, his eyes were cloudy, and although his body was still strong, it had no resilience at all!

Moreover, the poisonous gas inside the magma had already invaded Han Feng's body. Over time, it even caused Han Feng's forehead to turn purplish-black, making him look extremely creepy!

Normally, Han Feng could easily destroy this small amount of poison gas with a flick of his wrist. However, the problem is that Han Feng cannot use his soul power now and has no effective means to control it. He can only let it run rampant in his body.

Han Feng's spirit was already at its limit. The death-like fainting sensation forced Han Feng to use his remaining mental strength to stimulate his soul and keep himself awake. However, doing so also brought Han Feng intense pain, as if countless sharp needles were piercing his brain!

But Han Feng had no time to care about any of that; at this moment, he was only preserving his last shred of consciousness!

This sliver of consciousness allowed Han Feng to observe his surroundings, so that if any soul beasts appeared, he could release the seal on his soul power.

If you get close enough, you can even see a trace of death energy swirling around Han Feng!

Han Feng was like a living dead, frozen inside the crater!

Han Feng wanted to give up many times, but he persevered in the end. Now, Han Feng has no intention of giving up anymore - his mental state simply cannot support him thinking so much!

Han Feng guessed correctly. The volcano trial was easy at first and then difficult. Compared with the ice field trial, the volcano trial was indeed more difficult!

Ultimately, the purpose of the Icefield Trial was also to allow Han Feng to inherit the Ice God's divine power in a natural way. The real test of willpower should be the Volcano Trial!

However, all of this is meaningful. Apart from the ethereal will, Han Feng's breakthrough in blood and qi is visible to the naked eye.

Although Han Feng's vital energy had been depleted over eighty days, leaving only a trace that could barely withstand the magma's invasion of his body, he knew that after being tempered by the magma, his vital energy had definitely increased significantly, not only in quality but also in quantity!

However, the exact extent of the improvement will only be known after Han Feng completes the fourth test of defense and recovers!

And this time, the defense of willpower only has one day left!

As long as Han Feng gets through this day safely, he will be able to see the blue sky after breaking through the clouds!

Fortunately, Han Feng didn't encounter any dramatic events, and time passed by without anything unusual happening.

Although the volcano where Han Feng was located was not comparable to the far north or the Star Dou Great Forest, the most powerful soul beasts there had only just emerged after ten thousand years, and their intelligence was still undeveloped, making them no different from wild beasts, the soul beasts also knew how to seek advantage and avoid harm. Over the past eighty days, the soul beasts had long known that there was a strange person inside the volcano, but none of them would be so foolish as to target this strange person!

Not to mention that Han Feng had driven away several powerful local bullies in front of all the soul beasts before the volcano trial even began, the fact that Han Feng could stay in the magma for eighty days was enough to instill fear in the soul beasts!

Fortunately, they didn't cause trouble for Han Feng. Otherwise, with the trial interrupted, Han Feng, in his rage, might have done something incredibly cruel!

boom--

After a full twelve hours, the active volcano, which was usually churning and churning, seemed to be unable to suppress its solitude any longer and suddenly exploded. A thunderous roar resounded, and countless fiery red magma were ejected into the air. Scorching gases shot into the sky, and all the soul beasts living near the volcano stared wide-eyed!

This scene was just like a volcanic eruption!

As the native inhabitants of the crater, they understand volcanic activity better than anyone else. If a volcano were to erupt, they would definitely be alerted in advance. But now, there is no movement from the ley lines, and the amount of lava erupted is far too little!

Boom boom boom!

Just as the many soul beasts were filled with doubt and uncertainty, the anomaly inside the volcano triggered the movement of the earth's veins, and the magma that was originally hidden underground became active!

In an instant, the earth shook!

Countless soul beasts roared in terror and scattered in all directions!

They didn't know if it was a volcanic eruption just now, but now, it really is!

Dark red magma erupted amidst billowing black smoke, and a tremendous rumbling sound pressed down on all sides. Red-hot rocks were pushed high into the air and then fell rapidly, leaving thousands of fiery streaks in the smoke-filled sky. Many soul beasts died because they could not escape in time!

Lava erupted and engulfed large swathes of land.

The sky was filled with black smoke, making it extremely murky.

Yet, amidst this cataclysmic scene, a figure slowly rose from the murky black smoke, its body radiating dazzling light, gradually dispelling the surrounding smoke. Its nine great soul rings—four purple and five black—illuminated the sky, like a deity descending from heaven!

To the left of this figure was a patch of frost, which instantly cooled even the scorching lava; to the right was a blazing golden flame, the heat emanating from it even distorting space itself!

That figure was none other than Han Feng!

After eighty-one days, Han Feng finally completed the fourth divine test of defense. His soul ring age increased by a thousand years, and his soul power also increased by one level out of thin air!

When Han Feng went to the far north to hunt for soul rings, the three ten-thousand-year soul beasts and one thousand-year soul beast had already allowed him to break through to level fifty-four. Now, with the feedback from the increased age of his soul rings, Han Feng is now at level fifty-five. Moreover, strictly speaking, the eight levels of soul power that went from level forty-seven to level fifty-five were not cultivated by Han Feng at all!

"Elder Yu, didn't you say that the age limit of the soul rings would increase by a thousand years? Why haven't Zhen Bing's four soul rings changed in age?" Having regained his soul power, Han Feng hurriedly dispelled the poison gas that had accumulated in his body for a long time. He smiled wearily and asked greedily.

"Hmph! Zhenbing is the Ice God's business, I only care about your first martial soul!" The God of Defense snorted coldly and said in a heartless manner.

The God of Defense wouldn't waste divine power on Han Feng's second spirit. He had long been dissatisfied with the four spirit rings of Han Feng's second spirit and wished Han Feng would replace them immediately. How could he possibly increase Han Feng's lifespan?

Han Feng didn't have the extra energy to argue with the God of Defense, so he just chuckled weakly and didn't ask any more questions.

Although his soul power has been unsealed, Han Feng is still in a state of depletion, with no strength left.

Now Han Feng felt hungry and thirsty, and there was a constant buzzing in his ears. His mental energy was almost depleted. Suddenly regaining his soul power did not make Han Feng feel comfortable. Instead, he felt powerless and helpless, like a child holding a meteor hammer that he could not swing at all!

Han Feng desperately needed to replenish his energy!

Han Feng didn't hold back. He aimed at a running soul beast, waved his left hand, and an ice blade descended from the sky, flashing with bloody light. In the blink of an eye, the soul beast was sent back to the underworld.

Han Feng followed closely behind, landing beside the soul beast. He impatiently dismembered it into eight pieces, flames erupting from his right hand. Regardless of whether it tasted good or not, he cooked it and began to feast.

Although the God of Defense said that the blood and qi power of a Soul King level was enough to support Han Feng's abstinence from grains for a year, that was in a normal state where he was completely still, and the consumption of blood and qi power would naturally be much slower. Han Feng, who was soaking in the magma, had long been forced to decompose his flesh and blood to support the operation of blood and qi power!

If he doesn't eat soon, Han Feng will really become the first successor of a deity to starve to death in history!

Han Feng ate two thousand-year-old soul beasts before stopping, only when he felt a faint warm current coming from his abdomen.

Han Feng is too weak to tolerate strong tonics. He can still eat, but continuing to eat will actually be bad for his health.

Exhausted, Han Feng lay sprawled on the ground, completely ignoring the scorching lava falling from the sky, and began to think about the next part of his journey.

Han Feng now needs to undergo three divine trials simultaneously. In addition to the Ice God Trial and the Fire God Trial, there is also the newly emerged Defense Trial. Han Feng already knew the contents of the Defense Trial, but the reward for success surprised him.

The reward for the Five Trials of Defense is not an increase in soul power or the age of soul rings, but simply an increase of 45%!

In other words, after Han Feng completes this divine test, his affinity with the defensive deity will increase to 100%!

"Heh! What are you thinking! The fifth trial has a five-year time limit and the target is a 100,000-year-old soul beast, which is definitely not my current goal!" Thinking of this, Han Feng chuckled and decided to temporarily put aside his defense against the fifth trial and instead turn his attention to the Ice God Trial and the Fire God Trial.

To be honest, the Ice God's Trial and the Fire God's Trial were not difficult for Han Feng. As long as Han Feng actively merged with the divinity of the Ice God and the Fire God, the Blazing Shield and the True Ice could transform into the ultimate fire and the ultimate ice within a year!

Especially the Shield of Blazing Sky, after being enhanced by the Great Sun Fusang Flower, already had the foundation of ultimate fire. It didn't even need Han Feng to take action; the Shield of Blazing Sky would transform itself under the influence of the divinity of the fire god!

But Han Feng knew of a place that could definitely help him complete the transformation between extreme ice and extreme fire much faster!

The Yin-Yang Well of Sunset Forest!

Han Feng has decided to return to Tiandou City!
