Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 491 The Sixth Soul Beast in the Xuanming Land

After all, it was just a soul bone. The God of Defense deliberately reminded Han Feng not to be greedy and to only push the cultivation level of the divinely bestowed soul bone to 200,000 years.

This was not a difficult thing for Han Feng. He successfully absorbed the divinely bestowed soul bone in just over ten days.

And just like that, Han Feng gained two more soul skills.

He went into seclusion for nine months at a time, and when he came out, he had eight more soul skills. Who would believe that?

But that's the truth. The two soul skills that this right arm bone brought to Han Feng were probably due to the relatively low cultivation level of the soul bone itself. In Han Feng's opinion, the effects of the soul skills were far inferior to the eighth soul ring of the previous Blazing Shield. The two soul bone skills brought by this right arm bone were named Swastika Great Burning Heaven and Crimson Lotus Seal, respectively.

In fact, in terms of the effect of individual soul bone skills, neither the Swastika Great Burning Heaven nor the Crimson Lotus Seal is inferior to the two soul bone skills of Han Feng's left arm bone. They each have their own merits. However, with the 570,000-year-old divinely bestowed soul ring as a precedent, the Swastika Great Burning Heaven and the Crimson Lotus Seal are much inferior compared to the Holy Flame Burning Heaven Strike and the Life-Locking Shield soul ring skills!

Especially the swastika-shaped Great Heavenly Blaze. Although Han Feng has not used it yet, he knows that this soul bone skill is completely a lower-level option of the Holy Flame Heavenly Blaze. Apart from consuming less soul power, its explosive power, attack power, and even activation time are completely incomparable to the Holy Flame Heavenly Blaze!

It's like a nerfed version of the Holy Flame Sky-Burning Strike!

However, that's not entirely true. The Swastika Great Burning Heaven is not entirely useless. At least for now, the Swastika Great Burning Heaven not only helps Han Feng master the Holy Flame Burning Heaven Strike more quickly, but it is also a rare and powerful offensive technique!

Even assuming the worst, the Swastika Great Heavenly Burning Technique is at least a usable soul skill, while the Holy Flame Heavenly Burning Strike...

To be honest, before Han Feng went mad, he didn't know under what circumstances he would use such a deadly technique!

The world-destroying power was so great that even Han Feng himself trembled with fear—Han Feng didn't even know if the Douluo Continent could withstand it!

As for the Crimson Lotus Seal, it's a fairly conventional counter-attacking tactic, with the red lotus underfoot and golden flames erupting from the ground, which can be considered a supplement to Han Feng's repertoire.

In addition to his two soul skills, Han Feng's cultivation level also advanced from level 86 to level 87.

Having absorbed two soul bones and two soul rings in succession, the energy hidden within Han Feng's body had accumulated to a vast level. Even if Han Feng allocated most of it to the cultivation of his soul, the portion allocated to his soul power and blood qi would still be more than enough to push his soul power cultivation and blood qi cultivation to level ninety!

It is foreseeable that the shackles that have troubled 99% of the world's Soul Masters from Soul Douluo to Title Douluo will be the cultivation experience in which Han Feng spends the least amount of time!

To be honest, in Han Feng's fourteen-year cultivation career, the slowest and longest period of cultivation was actually the six years from the 12th to the 30th level of his Martial Soul Awakening. After that, Han Feng has been accumulating strength and making great strides all the way. In less than eight years, he is about to break through to the Title Douluo level!

"Phew... It should be about time now, right?" After absorbing the soul bone, Han Feng let out a long sigh of relief.

Having been confined to this place for over nine months, Han Feng himself was starting to feel restless.

This is perhaps a case of the well-fed not knowing the hunger of the starving. For others, sitting in confinement for ten years in exchange for a 100,000-year-old soul bone would probably be a sweet treat, but for Han Feng, just nine months was already becoming unbearable.

The main reason is that Han Feng's mindset has changed!

Han Feng stood up again. This time, the God of Defense did not stop him, and the Divine Ancient Pearl did not make any unusual movements, which relieved Han Feng.

Han Feng thought about it and realized he hadn't forgotten anything!

What Han Feng didn't know was that the Snow Emperor outside the cave was also relieved!

Is it true that you can do something once or twice, but not a third time?

If divine energy continues to emanate, this will never end!

After many days, Han Feng finally stepped out of the cave. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the Snow Empress's gaze towards him carried a look of horror that was completely opposite to her cold and aloof demeanor.

It would be hard for Xue Di not to be shocked!

Han Feng did not deliberately conceal his aura. The powerful fluctuations of level 87 naturally emanated. Two extreme forces that complemented and countered each other intertwined around Han Feng, even distorting the space around him. What was even more terrifying was that the moment Han Feng appeared in front of Xue Di, Xue Di clearly felt a tangible danger!

Xue Di suppressed the excitement in her heart, took a deep breath unconsciously, and asked Han Feng, "What are your plans next?"

The Snow Emperor didn't ask what had happened in the cave, nor did she ask why Han Feng's cultivation had improved so rapidly.

The left and right are merely the will of the gods, and the Snow Empress now avoids anything related to gods other than the Ice God as much as possible, even if the object is Han Feng.

Han Feng didn't think much of it. He subconsciously assumed that the Snow Empress should know about the divinely bestowed soul rings and soul bones. He shrugged noncommittally and said, "If you have time, Senior, I plan to go to the Xuanming Land again to hunt for a soul ring for the Zhenbing Martial Soul!"

Xue Di nodded naturally.

Han Feng's choice was exactly as Xue Di had expected. Given the strength Han Feng had demonstrated, Xue Di would not refuse.

The only concern Xue Di had was when Han Feng would choose to begin the Ice God's Fifth Trial. After all, in Xue Di's view, Han Feng already possessed the ability to threaten her!

Based on Xue Di's understanding of Han Feng, Han Feng must still be hiding some trump cards that Xue Di is unaware of. Han Feng's ultimate combat power is definitely higher than what Xue Di has seen. This means that Han Feng is already 70-80% confident that he can complete the Ice God's fifth trial.

To be frank, the Snow Empress did not want Han Feng to postpone the fifth trial of the Ice God any further.

Even if the Snow Empress is cold-hearted, she doesn't want to lose too badly!

But Xue Di ultimately didn't say it.

Perhaps it was because of her pride, or something else, but in any case, Xue Di did not want to urge Han Feng.

You should know that Xue Di's own goal was ultimately to become a god!

No matter how extraordinary Han Feng's performance was, Xue Di didn't want to be too much inferior to him. If she didn't even have the courage to face Han Feng's challenge, how would she face the attacks from all the gods in the sky in the future?

If Han Feng knew what Xue Di was thinking, he would definitely burst out laughing.

From beginning to end, Han Feng never intended to let Xue Di suffer a complete defeat. He himself understood that if he were to start the fifth trial of the Ice God now, he would most likely succeed. However, he was only a Soul Douluo at the moment. If Xue Di were to be defeated by a human Soul Douluo, it would be a difficult thing to talk about!

In order to preserve Xue Di's dignity as much as possible, Han Feng decided to start the fifth trial of the Ice God after breaking through to the Title Douluo level.

Han Feng had received many favors from Xue Di after all.

Although losing to a Title Douluo is still a loss, at least Xue Di might feel a little better!

At least that's what Han Feng himself thinks. As for whether Xue Di can accept Han Feng's good intentions, Han Feng has no way of knowing.

Getting back to the main point, since Han Feng has decided to hunt for the sixth spirit ring for Zhenbing Martial Soul, Xue Di naturally will not hesitate. She puts her jade hand on Han Feng's shoulder again, and as the snowflakes dance, Han Feng descends upon the Xuanming Land once more.

This is a desolate and lifeless ice field, with nothing but the cold wind and snow dancing between heaven and earth.

Han Feng looked at Xue Di with some confusion, as if he wanted an explanation from her.

This wasn't Han Feng's first time in the Xuanming Land, and he had some understanding of the soul beasts there. Naturally, he knew their nature—they couldn't be described with any word that could be associated with restraint. They were nothing but bloodthirsty and insane. It was common for them to shout and fight on sight, and surprise attacks were also frequent. But seeing them completely silent like this was the first time he had ever seen one!

Even Han Feng couldn't detect the slightest trace of life here!

Xue Di noticed Han Feng's gaze and knew what he wanted to ask. She gently shook her head and said with some seriousness, "This soul beast is troublesome. It attacked before we even arrived!"

"Oh?" Han Feng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, and radiated his mental energy outwards, but nothing happened.

At this moment, the Snow Empress's voice rang out again: "This soul beast's abilities are rather unpredictable and difficult to defend against. Let me handle this one! I know it better!"

Han Feng shook his head and declined, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, senior, but it's not necessary!"

Seeing a potential that would make the Snow Empress take notice, Han Feng was also very curious!

"Hmm..." Xue Di was not surprised. She pondered for a moment, then raised her right hand as if to step aside.

Han Feng remained silent, his gaze fixed on the front. He did not ask Xue Di what the other party's ability was. Since the other party's ability could be described as bizarre, it would be pointless to explain it. Han Feng hoped that he could discover the clues himself!

This can be considered Han Feng's own test at the university!

To Han Feng's surprise, Xue Di, who should have already left, did not retreat to the side. Instead, her raised right hand transformed into an ice blade!

The next moment, Xue Di's face twisted, her pupils turned crimson, and a ferocious smirk appeared on her lips. With a swift movement, she brought her ice blade down fiercely towards Han Feng's neck!
