Douluo Continent: A Man of Unparalleled Talent and Heaven-Defying Comprehension

Chapter 199 Long Time No See (Please Subscribe!!!)

The three level-98 Super Douluo, as well as a few slightly weaker Super Douluo such as Yan Shaozhe, may not have seen the real Snow Empress, but they had heard of her abilities.

Having guessed the Snow Empress's identity, they all began to have ulterior motives.

With so many powerful figures harboring ulterior motives, the atmosphere in the Grand Arena became unexpectedly heavy.

Su Yu noticed the unusual atmosphere and quickly figured out the cause and effect after a little analysis. Observing Yan Shaozhe and Zhong Liwu and using the power of fate to sense their presence, he also indirectly verified his analysis.

"Are you trying to provoke the Snow Emperor?"

Su Yu said there was no need to worry.

The Snow Emperor wasn't sealed away by the Investiture Platform.

Unleashing her full power might cause irreversible damage, but a self-destruction could easily take down several Limit Douluos.

Moreover, since Xue Di dared to come to Mingdu to participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament, she obviously had a way out.

Su Yu didn't believe that Xue Di was really so ignorant that she couldn't even understand this much.

"ah!!!"

Jili let out a scream, covered his mouth, and blood flowed freely.

His name is auspicious, but unfortunately he is an evil soul master. His martial soul is a brain-eating beast, a soul beast that grows by absorbing brain marrow. It has long been extinct, but Jili has awakened this martial soul.

Jili's innate soul power was only level two. He himself did not know that the martial soul of the brain-eating beast could be cultivated to a higher level. He lived in a daze until the age of twelve, when he was discovered by the Holy Spirit Cult. In the following eight years, he rose from level two to level sixty Soul Emperor.

Such terrifying speed comes at a terrifying cost.

Absorbing brain marrow, the higher the grade and the better the quality of the brain marrow absorbed, the more obvious the effect on improving his cultivation.

A level 60 soul power level, if you calculate it, would probably require absorbing the brain marrow of at least ten Soul Masters of Soul Douluo rank or higher.

Or perhaps, the brain marrow of tens of thousands of Soul Venerables and Soul Masters?

For ordinary people, this is even more unimaginable.

The brain-eating beast uses its tongue to suck out brain marrow, and the Giri also uses its tongue to control or launch attacks.

However, Xue Di was very disgusted by his tongue.

The storm, mixed with ice, coalesced into a sharp blade that severed Jili's tongue.

Upon seeing this, Yan Feng was furious.

This snow woman has been fighting seven people single-handedly from the beginning, suppressing them for a full three minutes.

This was an insult to them, who, after becoming evil spirit masters, were almost invincible at the same level by using bizarre and abnormal combat methods, and were even capable of turning the tables on those one or two levels above them.

The true form of the Ice Bone Dragon!

The seventh spirit ring flashed, and Yan Feng transformed into a giant bone dragon, its body radiating a chilling, icy aura.

"Ice is not used like that," the Snow Empress said coldly.

Ice should be pure. Ice mixed with the aura of the dead and evil, like Yan Feng, is extremely cold and sinister. In Xue Di's eyes, this is an insult to ice.

Under the Snow Empress's control, a massive amount of ice-attribute energy condensed and formed a long sword.

The ice sword was enormous, exuding a powerful aura.

With the fusion of spiritual power and soul power, and even the integration of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, the power of this sword has surpassed that of a Soul Saint.

cut!

Su Yu watched closely as Xue Di unleashed the Emperor Sword - Ice Extreme Unparalleled, gaining a deeper understanding of the fusion of spiritual power and soul power.

At the same time, new thoughts began to emerge in my mind.

"Soul power itself does not only represent the soul and the body."

A martial soul refines the external spiritual energy of heaven and earth, thus becoming the soul power of a soul master. The essence of this soul power still originates from spiritual energy. While possessing some characteristics that are close to spiritual power and blood energy, it is also spiritual energy.

Therefore, in the fusion of essence, energy, and spirit, does the "energy" here also represent the external vital energy?

"True fusion should be the fusion of the vital energy in the soul with the spiritual power and the power of blood and qi."

Xue Di was ruthless, but just as he was about to kill Yan Feng after severely injuring him, the Holy Spirit Sect chose to surrender.

Given the nature of evil spirit masters, once they surrender on the field, they will naturally face even more terrible torture. Therefore, under normal circumstances, evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Sect will not surrender even if they die in battle.

But that's what they're doing right now.

Su Yu looked at the Grand Preceptor, who was shrouded in a black robe, on the podium.

"What instructions did Zhongli Wu give to Zhang Peng?"

Xue Di also frowned as she looked at the podium, somewhat dissatisfied that she hadn't been able to defeat the seven heinous criminals on the stage.

However, there will be other opportunities later.

The team surrendered, and the Holy Spirit Sect also forfeited in the individual competition, choosing not to continue.

The final match between the Snow Demon Sect and the Holy Spirit Sect in the round-robin tournament came to an end, with the Snow Demon Sect emerging victorious.

However, the competition ended, but the turmoil caused by Xue Di's identity was quietly unfolding.

night.

Sun Moon Royal Hotel.

"Elder Xuan, that should be the Snow Emperor, right?" Yan Shaozhe asked Elder Xuan with a very serious expression, in order to verify his guess.

This time, they did not choose to discuss the matter in the Star Luo Royal Team's room, but in the Shrek Team's own suite, number 401.

Xuanzi's expression was also solemn. He said, "I have never actually seen the Snow Emperor, the true master of the far north. However, the methods that the Snow Maiden displayed on the arena were exactly the Emperor Sword and Emperor Cold Heaven from the Three Absolute Techniques of the Snow Emperor described by Elder Mu."

"And then there's her martial soul, the Ice and Snow Maiden. The appearance of Su Tong is already hard to comprehend, but now another Snow Maiden has appeared."

"But her cultivation is already close to 700,000 years, isn't it? Can she still transform into human form? Isn't it said that if a soul beast chooses to continue cultivating as a soul beast after 100,000 years, it will completely lose the opportunity to transform into a human?" Yan Shaozhe asked with a slight hesitation.

Xuanzi provided an answer: "The Snow Emperor is the master of the far north, and ranks third among the ten most ferocious beasts. Perhaps he has a special method."

On the Douluo Continent, nothing is truly absolute.

Xuanzi did not intend to delve into how Xue Di managed to transform into a human after 700,000 years.

"The real key point is that the Snow Empress actually transformed into a human, and even reached the Soul Saint level," Xuanzi said, his expression extremely solemn. "If the Snow Empress has taken human form, then what about the other ten ferocious beasts?"

With the strength of the Ten Ferocious Beasts, if they do not encounter any accidents after transforming into human form, they will definitely be peerless geniuses. They will pass through the period of weakness as quickly as possible and enter the mature stage, which is the Soul Saint level. After reaching the Soul Saint level, their origins will basically be considered to have been successfully transformed.

Even titled Douluo could not detect that they were soul beasts in human form.

No, it's not that they're undetectable, but rather that they've reached the Soul Saint level and completed the transformation into human Soul Masters. Aside from their bloodline still being that of pure Soul Beasts, they are essentially human Soul Masters.

Even considering the worst-case scenario, if this were the overall plan of the soul beasts, some of the ten ferocious beasts would have chosen to transform into human form, grow rapidly, and become Title Douluo without any problem, or even cultivate to Super Douluo without any difficulty.

There is even a chance that one could cultivate to the level of Limit Douluo as a human Soul Master.

If that's the case, then humanity would be in danger.

A spy has infiltrated the area, and the spy is incredibly powerful, possibly even stronger than before his transformation.

Human soul masters are truly blessed with a natural advantage over soul beasts in cultivation. In just one or two hundred years, they may have covered the path that ferocious beasts take hundreds of thousands of years to complete.

This is the difference between humans and soul beasts in terms of construction and cultivation.

"This is also the worst-case scenario, and it's very likely that I'm worrying unnecessarily," Xuanzi said. "After all, the far north is isolated from the world and has virtually no connection with places like the Star Dou Great Forest where soul beasts gather."

According to the records within Shrek Academy, few of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts are facing impending tribulations and have tens of thousands of years to cultivate properly. They would not risk sealing their power and entering human society.

On the contrary, the Snow Emperor is indeed approaching the point of 700,000 years.

"Elder Xuan, now that the Snow Empress has taken human form, how should Shrek Academy treat her?"

Shrek Academy can be considered the most authoritative institution in the Soul Master world of Douluo Continent. Having stayed at Shrek Academy for a long time, Yan Shaozhe also believed that they had the ability to supervise the entire Soul Master world.

After all, they have always been responsible for hunting down and capturing evil spirit masters.

Given this, it is entirely reasonable for Shrek Academy to take over some of the Snow Empress's affairs after the soul beasts transformed and infiltrated human society.

"According to records, although the Snow Empress showed no mercy to human soul masters who entered the far north, she did not have an extreme bias in the conflict between humans and soul beasts. In fact, as long as humans did not destroy the far north, she would not take action against human soul masters," Xuanzi said.

Yan Shaozhe nodded. From Elder Xuan's words, he roughly understood that Xue Di was someone who could be won over.

Shrek Academy happens to have Su Tong, who also possesses the Ice and Snow Maiden martial soul. Perhaps they can use Su Tong's connection to communicate with the Snow Empress and further confirm the Snow Empress's camp and her ideals.

If possible, such a future powerhouse would almost certainly join Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion.

The conflict between human soul masters and soul beasts has become increasingly intense. As the pillar of the soul master world, Shrek Sea God Pavilion has long been worried about this, but has not yet found a good entry point to rectify the situation.

However, if we can leverage the Snow Empress to bring up the conflict between human soul masters and soul beasts, there might be a chance to alleviate the conflict between humans and soul beasts.

Snow Demon Sect

Shrek Academy has records of this sect, but because the sect is located on the edge of the far north, and all its members possess ice-attribute martial souls, many of its powerful figures cultivate in seclusion in the far north and rarely show themselves in the world of soul masters. Therefore, this sect also has this style.

Not very well-known.

However, the overall strength of the Snow Demon Sect is beyond doubt.

There were three titled Douluo.

Several of them are Super Douluo, a fact unknown to the outside world. However, possessing three Title Douluo is itself a strength of the Snow Demon Sect. After all, ten thousand years ago, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, with two Title Douluo each, was already firmly among the top three sects.

Of course, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School ten thousand years ago had two Douluo, both of whom were Super Douluo, which was quite powerful.

"Su Tong?"

Yan Shaozhe didn't delay and knocked on Su Tong's door.

Soon, Su Tong opened the door to greet her.

She didn't cultivate today because she had a premonition that Yan Shaozhe would ask her some questions.

"Dean Yan, is it about the snow woman from earlier today?" Su Tong asked Yan Shaozhe with a complicated expression.

She still doesn't know who the Snow Woman is.

"Su Tong, do you know how many examples of the Ice and Snow Maiden have appeared in Douluo Continent?" Yan Shaozhe asked after understanding Su Tong's doubts.

"Before you came to Shrek Academy, there was only one recorded instance of an Ice and Snow Maiden in Shrek's records, and that was the Snow Empress, the leader of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North and the third-ranked of the Ten Ferocious Beasts of Douluo Continent!"

Su Tong was taken aback, looked at Yan Shaozhe with disbelief in her expression, and said, "Dean Yan, do you mean that the Snow Maiden is the Snow Emperor?"

Indeed, she hadn't thought of such a simple logic.

They're trapped in their own thoughts.

Legend has it that Su Tong’s family received the blessing of the Ice God. Her family is also a clan that worships the Ice God. Similar to the Sea Soul Masters’ worship of the Sea God, the Su family’s martial soul is an ice element spirit with an extremely strong ability to control ice and snow, but it only has the bloodline of the Ice God.

By her generation, the bloodline was strong, and her martial soul mutated into the Ice and Snow Maiden.

She thought the Snow Maiden was a branch of her family that had flowed out from another generation, or that she, like herself, was a lucky one whose family had been blessed by the Ice God and whose bloodline had mutated to possess the Ice and Snow Maiden Martial Soul. She never expected it to be the Snow Emperor.

After all, the Snow Emperor was already a ferocious beast with 700,000 years of cultivation, which was quite different from the Snow Maiden, who was a level 70 Soul Saint.

Su Tong's common sense led her to subconsciously ignore this possibility.

Now, after Yan Shaozhe's reminder, she thought it made more and more sense. In the current Douluo Continent, perhaps only the Snow Empress could portray the power of the Ice and Snow Maiden as vividly as she did during the day.

The power that the Snow Maiden displayed at that time was beyond what the Ice and Snow Maiden Martial Soul could possibly unleash.

Su Tong, who was also at the Soul Saint level, was well aware of this.

"Dean Yan, did you come to see me about the Snow Maiden and Snow Empress?"

"That's right. The conflict between humans and Soul Masters has a long history and has reached a critical point. Shrek Academy has been paying attention to this issue for a long time, but has been struggling to find a way to intervene and reconcile the conflict between the two sides. Now I think Snow Empress is a very good entry point."

Listening to Yan Shaozhe's words, Su Tong gradually came to agree with his theory.

Indeed, the conflict between human soul masters and soul beasts should be reconciled.

After the match, Su Yu and Huo Yuhao did not return to Mingde Hall, but went directly to a bar and booked a private room.

"You've been hiding it well, kid. Your second martial soul actually mutated after the Ice Emperor's sacrifice." Su Yu said, following Huo Yuhao's nonsense.

"I don't know what happened either. It seems that Ice Empress was seriously injured during her tribulation and then came directly to me. After the sacrifice, perhaps her strength was too great, and she still retained her spiritual body, which is very similar to the soul spirit that you researched, Brother Yu. Some time ago, we also officially signed a soul spirit contract, and she completely became my soul spirit." Huo Yuhao scratched his head and explained with an embarrassed look.

Su Yu watched Huo Yuhao's performance without exposing him.

The two didn't have to wait long before a beautiful figure appeared outside the private room.

"Bang bang bang!"

Su Yu opened the door and let her in.

It was the Snow Emperor.

"Snow Emperor, it's been a long time." ×2

Today I saw many comments from people saying that water is needed to nourish books.

It's really not me being sarcastic.

I think the root cause is that updating only once a day is too little. Seeing only this much plot each day definitely feels insufficient and feels like filler.

It's hard to say at other times, but Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are coming up soon, so I'll update more frequently for a while longer.

Brothers, please be more understanding.

Earlier, you said I focused too much on theory. Now I need to develop the plot, which definitely requires expanding on some aspects. Perhaps my approach was flawed; I'll reorganize the outline further.

I also want to complain about the excessive amount of cultivation theory. I think many of my readers are drawn to my character settings, so I've talked a lot about that aspect.

The first ten chapters after the book was released contained a lot of theory. I thought I should take advantage of that burst of updates to write down all the theory so that you guys won't feel stifled later.

However, the response was not very good.

I'm making changes too; now many theories are gradually unfolding within the plot.

In short, I'm trying my best. If you have any questions, please leave a comment or tag me in the group. I'll see them all.
