Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 520 Han Feng's torso has been found!?

"What a pity!"

The appearance of the Ice Jade Scorpion's 600,000-year-old torso bone was a pity, but it wasn't just Han Feng who felt regret; the God of Defense also felt the same way.

In reality, although the Ice God made the Snow Empress Han Feng's protector and even gave her the title of High Priestess of the Ice God, which can be considered as gaining the Ice God's approval, the God of Defense never completely trusted the Snow Empress from beginning to end. After all, the God of Defense is a deity who has lived from the era of the Dragon God to the present. No matter how enlightened or unconventional the God of Defense may be, influenced by the Dragon God, the God of Defense still carries an indelible fear and suspicion towards soul beasts.

Although the Snow Empress was born as an ice and snow elf, in the world of Douluo Continent, the Snow Empress is a soul beast!

Therefore, whenever Han Feng absorbs a soul ring or soul bone, the God of Defense will protect him in the God Realm.

They call themselves protectors, but they're really just keeping an eye on the Snow Emperor!

However, the God of Defense was a stubborn old man. Seeing that neither the Ice God nor Han Feng had any doubts about the Snow Empress, and that the Snow Empress had indeed never shown any malice towards Han Feng, the God of Defense was too embarrassed to remind Han Feng.

After all, this would make the defensive artifact seem small, and it would also make the God of Defense feel like he's being paranoid.

Although this is indeed the case, the God of Defense simply does not want to admit it.

However, it is worth mentioning that the Snow Empress's reverence for the gods did indeed protect her well. If the Snow Empress had shown even the slightest greed or malice during Han Feng's absorption of the soul ring and soul bone, although the God of Defense might not have killed her, she would have inevitably suffered some hardship!

Getting back to the point, when the God of Defense saw that Han Feng had obtained the Ice Jade Scorpion's torso bone with 600,000 years of cultivation, his thoughts were the same as Han Feng's: regret!

Even the God of Defense had to admit that a torso bone with 600,000 years of cultivation was an extremely rare treasure!

At least that's the case in the Nether!

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King, a soul beast with a million-year cultivation, was one thing, after all, it was prepared by the Sea God for his own successor. The God of Defense was willing to give the Sea God face after 20,000 years of planning.

But with Di Tian in front and Bing Bi Xie behind, even the God of Defense felt somewhat resentful.

Thinking of this, the God of Defense couldn't help but feel resentment towards the God of Ice and the God of Fire—if the God of Fire hadn't fought with him for the successor back then, none of this would have happened today.

However, without the inheritance of the Ice God and the Fire God, Han Feng would miss out on many opportunities, and whether he could obtain the torso bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion is still uncertain.

"Elder Yu, what are you regretting?"

At this moment, a powerful yet obsequious voice rang out within the Temple of Defense. Only then did the God of Defense react, instantly putting away the divine mirror before him. His pair of turbid and unruly eyes suddenly turned sharp, his beard and hair bristling, and he pounced towards the source of the voice with the terrifying aura of a lion!

It wasn't that the God of Defense was exhausted or slow to react, only noticing the anomaly after the other party had infiltrated the temple. Rather, the God of Defense simply hadn't expected that there was any reckless deity in the divine realm who would dare to trespass into his defensive temple!

An aura as imposing as a mountain loomed over them, causing the newcomer to gasp for breath, their body stiffening, their fawning smile frozen on their face, and their fiery red eyes filled with resentment.

At this moment, the God of Defense also saw the newcomer's appearance clearly. His cold and fierce aura faltered, and he grunted, saying irritably, "What are you doing here, brat?"

The visitor was none other than the God of Fire.

In the entire divine realm, perhaps only the God of Fire would dare to so recklessly trespass into the Temple of Defense. Before Han Feng appeared, if the God of Fire had dared to do such a thing, he would probably have been captured by the God of Defense and used as a roof beam, and even the God of Life would not have been able to take him away. However, after Han Feng appeared, the relationship between the God of Fire and the God of Defense progressed rapidly, and they became a revolutionary friendship. The God of Defense tolerated the God of Fire's occasional outrageous behavior.

Of course, other elemental gods could also freely enter and exit the defensive temple, but they dared not. Without the permission of the defensive god, they would rather stand outside the temple than enter it without authorization!

What if one day the God of Defense is in a bad mood?

"Hehe!" Faced with the God of Defense's indifference, the God of Fire didn't seem to mind, chuckling familiarly, "I just came to check on that little guy Han Feng, after all, he's my successor!"

"Hmph! You know he's the successor of the God of Fire!? I thought that brat Han Feng was just the successor of my God of Defense!" Upon hearing this, the God of Defense sneered with resentment.

It's no wonder the God of Defense is stingy. After all, ever since the God of Fire handed over his inheritance to Han Feng, he seemed to think everything was settled and became a hands-off manager. Apart from occasionally missing a divine test, he hardly paid any attention to Han Feng's situation!

Even the divinely bestowed soul bone and soul ring were given to Han Feng by the God of Defense in advance by the God of Fire!

The Ice God was even more so; he was busy suppressing the Endless Ice Prison and had no time to pay attention to Han Feng's situation.

Throughout the entire process, the only one who truly cared about Han Feng was the God of Defense!

"Haha!" Upon hearing this, Vulcan, knowing he was in the wrong, didn't refute. Instead, he tactfully admitted his mistake, smiled apologetically, and explained, "Elder Yu! Every family has its own troubles. You know my situation. My wife is terrified that Ice God and I might have some issues because of sharing a successor. She's keeping a close eye on us! I really can't find the time!"

The God of Defense had recently heard about the romantic escapades between the gods of fire, ice, and water. Hearing the god of fire recount them himself, even the God of Defense couldn't help but smile.

The God of Defense glanced at the God of Fire with amusement and taunted, "Boy! You don't seem like the type to be afraid of your wife. If Ruoshui keeps being unreasonable, you'll just swallow your anger?"

Hearing the unspoken message from the God of Defense, the God of Fire blushed noticeably, and his fiery red eyes darted around nervously.

Vulcan is indeed not afraid of his wife, but in this matter, Vulcan lacks confidence!

"What can I do if my wife is so domineering and I can't bear to listen to her?" Vulcan stammered, looking utterly helpless.

But even Vulcan himself didn't believe it when he said those words!

Although the God of Defense is indeed currently single, he has lived for 100,000 years. How could he possibly hide the God of Fire's little schemes from him?

Upon hearing this, the God of Defense scoffed disdainfully and said pointedly, "There's no smoke without fire! Without desire, there is strength! Without desire, there is strength!"

The God of Fire, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed by the God of Defense's words, cried out to the God of Defense, half pleading and half humiliated, "Lord Yu! Please stop teasing me!"

"I understand! Men, you know! I was young once too!" The God of Defense laughed heartily, his eyes full of meaningful smiles.

The God of Fire was speechless, knowing that the God of Defense was not going to let him off easily. His eyes darted around, and he had no choice but to change the subject, asking, "Elder Yu! When I entered, I saw you sighing before the Divine Mirror. Has Han Feng encountered some difficulty? Or has Han Feng slacked off in his cultivation?"

The God of Defense still cared about Han Feng. Whenever the God of Fire mentioned Han Feng, the God of Defense stopped dwelling on the little evil in the God of Fire's heart.

With a sigh, the God of Defense glared fiercely at the God of Fire, leaving the God of Fire somewhat bewildered and impressed.

Just as the God of Fire was bewildered, the God of Defense spoke up: "Don't think so little of that kid! This time, it's not his problem, it's yours!"

"Us?" Vulcan was stunned. He hadn't done anything!

"Do you think I'm lying to you?!" Seeing the Fire God's oblivious expression, the God of Defense was furious and cursed, "I shouldn't have agreed to that nonsense about the harmony of ice and fire and the uncrowned god-king. If it weren't for that, how could that brat Han have failed to even gather a complete set of soul bones?!"

After that, the God of Defense revealed that Han Feng had obtained the 600,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion's torso bone.

After hearing this, Vulcan immediately understood!

To be honest, if Han Feng wants to achieve both ice and fire, his torso bones are indeed a big problem!

Ice and fire attribute torso bones are hard to find, and completely attribute-less torso bones are equally rare. Generally, powerful soul beasts possess some degree of attribute; soul beasts with absolutely no attribute are either supremely powerful, surpassing all other soul beasts in sheer strength, or extremely weak.

Not to mention, Han Feng also needs a torso bone with a cultivation period of no less than 400,000 years!

Four hundred thousand-year-old soul beasts are already few and far between, and it's even more difficult to obtain a torso bone. Add to that the attribute restriction, and it's truly asking the impossible!

However, to the God of Defense's surprise, after hearing this, the God of Fire not only did not show the slightest shame, but instead laughed confidently!

The God of Defense's eyebrows shot up sharply, his eyes blazing with fury as he stared intently at the God of Fire.

Just as the God of Defense was about to reprimand him, the God of Fire said in a way that was both calm and deadly: "Old Master, do not worry, I have come here to resolve this matter!"

"What!?" The God of Defense changed his mind as soon as the rebuke was about to come out, and shouted in astonishment!

Can Vulcan really solve Han Feng's torso bone problem?!
