Mu En pondered for a moment and said, "The power of the trembling earth is undoubtedly Xuan Zi's Gluttonous Divine Ox. The pitch-black flames should be the Red King's Hellfire. But what about the blizzard?"
"Among the fierce beasts, only the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North possess such abilities, but they should be in the Far North. How could they appear in the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"Brother Tianmeng, I have the same conjecture as Elder Mu. I faintly sensed that the power of that blizzard was somewhat similar to the Snow Empress,
but the Snow Empress couldn't possibly go to the Star Dou Great Forest for no reason, and inexplicably fight your Elder Xuan. This is truly too strange," the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm also said in Huo Yuhao's mind.
"Brother Tianmeng, is there a possibility, I mean a possibility, that the Snow Empress also befriended Yuwentuo and purposely came to help him?" Huo Yuhao guessed.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm immediately denied it. "The Snow Empress is not like the Red King. The Red King is called the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound, but it's actually just a dog.
Although its nature is fierce, it's also honest. As long as it likes you, there's still a slight possibility of becoming friends with it.
Moreover, in reality, the main reason the Red King tried to kill you wasn't Yuwentuo, but your attempt to touch the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. This Emperor Auspicious Beast is the Star Dou Great Forest's inverse scale.
I told you before, whoever dares to touch her, the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest will fight them to the death. It's just that Elder Xuan was too confident in his own strength."
"And the Snow Empress's personality is not as easily fooled as the Red King's. It is said that the Snow Empress and Ice Empress are collectively known as the Two Ice and Snow Emperors. If the Ice Empress's personality is cold, then hers is aloof.
She is the queen of the thousand-mile snowy plains. How could she give face to Yuwentuo, a mere Soul King at best? Let alone specially run out of the Far North, come all the way to the Star Dou Great Forest,
just to help him kill someone. Unless the Snow Empress regards him as a younger brother or even a lover, but that probability is less than one in ten thousand."
After listening to Tianmeng's analysis, Huo Yuhao also felt it made sense.
"Perhaps, it's some other ice-attribute hundred-thousand-year soul beast within the Star Dou Great Forest?" Mu En judged.
In fact, besides those fierce beasts, there were still some ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
For example, in the original story, when Di Tian launched the beast tide, the hundred-thousand-year Six-Winged Dark Gold Tiger responsible for protecting Bi Ji, and so on.
It was not strange for there to be existences they didn't know about.
"Yunzhi!"
Mu En suddenly looked at the old woman beside him, dressed in blue with white hair.
The old woman understood his meaning. "Elder Mu, leave this matter to me. I will go to the Star Dou Great Forest to investigate. If I find Xuan Zi, we will return as soon as possible."
Mu En nodded. "I entrust this to you."
Up to this point, they still believed Xuan Zi would be fine, because they trusted Xuan Zi's strength.
Of course, this was also based on Mu En's immediate judgment that the ice and snow attribute expert could absolutely not be the Snow Empress. If they knew it was the Snow Empress, they probably wouldn't have been so optimistic.
This old woman sent to find Xuan Zi was not a simple character either; she was the stabilizing force of the Soul Tool Department.
She was the third most important figure in the Sea God Pavilion, below Mu En and Xuan Zi, and on par with Elder Lin and Lin Huiqun.
Her full name was Song Yunzhi, the mother of the Martial God Douluo Xianlin'er, a Level 97 Super Douluo. Her martial soul was the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle, and her title was Divine Eagle Douluo, reputed as the number one agility-attack type soul master on the continent.
In the original story, she could contend with Xiong Jun and managed to injure the Emerald Swan, which was protected by several hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, during an assassination attempt.
With her speed, even if she entered the Star Dou Great Forest and faced several fierce beasts, as long as Di Tian was not among them, she could always escape even if she couldn't win.
"Alright, Yuhao, you rest for a bit. I didn't expect such an unexpected situation to occur during this soul ring hunt. Don't worry. When this matter is over, I will send someone again to take you to find a suitable spirit-attribute soul beast for you," Mu En said, assigning the task and immediately showing concern for his recently accepted disciple.
Huo Yuhao was greatly moved. "Yes, thank you, teacher!"
Song Yunzhi immediately set off for the Star Dou Great Forest. Unfortunately, she searched for a full half-month and found nothing.
After all, Xuan Zi's body had already been burned to ashes by Yuwentuo, with only his head remaining, which was still in Yuwentuo's bag. What could she possibly find?
She couldn't possibly rush to the Lake of Life and directly confront those fierce beasts; that would be asking for death.
Ultimately, she could only return to the academy in a disheartened manner. This incident also cast a shadow over the hearts of the many elders in Shrek's Sea God Pavilion.
Of course, they weren't in despair yet. After all, without personally seeing Xuan Zi's corpse, it couldn't be proven that something had happened to him. Perhaps he was just missing, severely injured and hiding to recover!
Xuan Zi was a Level 98 Super Douluo. Who in the world could easily kill him?
They could only comfort themselves this way.
However, during that half-month of their worry, another event that would plunge them into despair was about to occur.
Star Luo Empire.
Gengxin City.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion's secret chamber.
Medical Immortal Douluo Wang Xian'er looked at the brawny man before her with a complex gaze. It seemed she had inadvertently created an ultimate monster.
The brawny man before her exuded a clear sense of his physique being as towering as a mountain, with power continuously surging forth, like a volcanic eruption. His entire body was filled with an explosive sensation.
On his body's surface, at his chest and abdomen, two cores could vaguely be seen emitting light.
These were soul nuclei, one of the thresholds for soul masters to enter the Titled Douluo and Limit Douluo ranks. They could compress a soul master's soul power from a liquid to a solid state, embedding it within the soul master's dantian.
As the soul nucleus continuously rotated, it would absorb external soul power for the soul master to use. Therefore, a soul master's combat power and recovery power would be significantly stronger than before.
This was the main reason why Titled Douluo and Soul Douluo, though seemingly just one step apart, had a difference as vast as a chasm.
The vast majority of Titled Douluo would condense one soul nucleus upon receiving their title, and a second upon reaching Limit Douluo.
In the second part, only Huo Yuhao managed to condense a soul nucleus at the Soul Sage stage, eventually forming a yin-yang complementary triple soul nucleus with Long Xiaoyao's soul power.
Di Tian also seemed to have such a yin-yang complementary soul nucleus.
Everyone else condensed dual soul nuclei through the method of isotopic resonance.
Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui were all like this.
In other words, being able to condense isotopic resonance dual soul nuclei meant that Poison Douluo had already cultivated the Mysterious Fiery Tome and advanced to the Limit Douluo realm.
"I can hear it, the beating of my heart. My blood is boiling. So this is the Mysterious Fiery Tome!" Poison Douluo opened his eyes. A domineering and immensely powerful aura rushed out of the secret chamber, suddenly changing the color of the sky and earth.
Feeling this immense pressure.
The three Titled Douluo outside had varying expressions. Shattered Star Douluo and Giant Mallet Douluo were startled, while Iron Palm Douluo was utterly overjoyed. Such immense power indicated that their Sect Master had succeeded.
