Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

At the confluence of the ice and fire elements, Qi Dao's body sank into the spring water.

His body was enduring unimaginable pain, feeling as if he were sometimes in lava and sometimes in an ancient ice cellar.

The extreme heat and cold tormented Qi Dao to the point of wishing he were dead.

It was precisely because of Qi Dao's strong mental strength and unwavering will that his consciousness remained clear, allowing him to clearly perceive the pain he was enduring.

A day passes in the blink of an eye.

Not far from where Dugu Bo sat cross-legged, his gaze remained fixed on the confluence of the Yin Spring and Yang Spring of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Ever since Qi Dao entered the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, he had been keeping a close eye on its movements without blinking.

As time passed, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye remained calm, which made even Dugu Bo feel a little worried.

That kid, could he have died in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?

If something really happens to him, how am I supposed to explain it to Yan Yan?

Just as Dugu Bo frowned deeply.

hum!

A faint sword cry suddenly rang out from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

It was extremely faint, but who exactly was Dugu Bo?

As a titled Douluo, he could sense even the slightest disturbance.

"It's the sound of a sword ringing out!"

"Hahaha, that kid really isn't that easy to kill!!"

Dugu Bo suddenly stood up from the ground, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. The heavy weight that had been pressing on his heart was finally lifted, and a sense of relief appeared on his face.

hum-

Another sword cry rang out.

Compared to the previous sword cry, this one was clearer and louder.

Immediately following, a sword light shot into the sky from the calm water, unleashing both extreme heat and extreme cold sword intents that swept across all directions.

"This kid actually caused such a commotion!"

Dugu Bo's face first showed surprise, and he laughed and cursed, but the next second, he immediately realized what was happening and his expression suddenly changed.

"Oh no, my herbs!!"

Dugu Bo exclaimed in surprise, then suddenly raised his hand and waved it.

A powerful surge of soul energy erupted from his hand, protecting every herb in the herb garden.

After doing all this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That was close!"

Meanwhile, in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, Qi Dao suddenly opened his eyes.

The originally scorching Yangquan was like ordinary warm water to him, while the extremely cold Yinquan was like cold water to him.

This is the most noticeable characteristic after consuming Fiery Apricot and Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass: immunity to water and fire.

In addition, Qi Dao could feel that the medicinal effects contained in the two immortal herbs, under the promotion of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, settled into his meridians and bones.

However, the medicinal power contained in these two immortal herbs is too great to be fully absorbed in a short time.

However, once Qi Dao fully absorbs the effects of these medicines, his foundation and physique will increase dramatically.

The only thing that Qi Dao found regrettable was that his level had not increased and remained at level twenty-nine.

(The above descriptions are from the original novel *Douluo Continent I*. Not all immortal herbs can enhance soul power; for example, the Ice and Fire herbs cannot.)

boom!

Qi Dao leaped out of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire and landed on the shore with a light touch of his toes.

Upon seeing Qi Dao appear, Dugu Bo's face lit up with joy.

"How are you feeling now, kid?"

Qi Dao opened his arms as if embracing the air.

"This feels great!"

"I've never felt so refreshed."

It's like being reborn!

rub!

Qi Dao drew his sword from his waist!

A flash of sword light appeared.

Dugu Bo looked at Wushuang in Qi Dao's hand, a look of surprise flashing across his face.

"This...this is your martial soul?"

"How did your martial spirit become like this?!"

The Peerless Sword appeared to have been tempered, its dark gold blade now longer than before. The decorative patterns on the blade had turned half ice blue and the other half crimson, radiating an aura of extreme cold and heat.

Qi Dao grinned and said, "That's right, my martial spirit has evolved once again."

Even Qi Dao himself felt that he was lucky.

It's important to know that not all immortal herbs can help a martial soul evolve; the immortal herb and the user's martial soul must have excellent compatibility.

For example, in the original novel, Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Everyone else only increased their soul power and potential.

Now, Qi Dao's martial spirit has also evolved.

Wushuang is now considered a top-tier weapon spirit.

Of course, this time, Wushuang's evolution direction is not the previous solidity, but a functional evolution, giving Wushuang two additional attributes: extreme heat and extreme cold.

While it doesn't quite reach the level of ultimate fire or ultimate ice, it's not far off.

This is why Wushuang was able to leap from a high-level martial soul to a top-level martial soul.
