Chapter 1: Martial Soul Awakening
Good news: I have Transmigrated!
Bad news: No system, no golden finger, and no twin martial souls.
Even worse news: The ancestral Jade Phosphorus Serpent Martial Soul has undergone a malignant mutation and turned into an Ice Serpent Martial Soul, resulting in only level-one innate soul power.
Sunset Forest!
Outside the cabin!
A little boy, about five or six years old, fell silent as he looked at his malignantly mutated Ice Serpent Martial Soul and level-one innate soul power.
The boy's name is Dugu Han, a descendant of Dugu Bo from ten thousand years ago.
He is also a transmigrator.
It's just that he, as a transmigrator, was not so lucky.
It's fine that he doesn't have a system, a golden finger, or even the standard twin martial souls.
Even the ancestral Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul has mutated into an Ice Serpent Martial Soul, resulting in only level-one innate soul power.
"Young Master!"
An old man with a white beard, standing next to him, felt a little distressed when he saw Dugu Han's silence.
"I'm fine!"
Dugu Han shook his head, put away his malignantly mutated Ice Serpent Martial Soul, and walked toward the wooden house.
The martial soul has awakened, and his innate soul power is only level one. This is a fact that cannot be changed.
And what he can do now is think about how to go forward.
To be honest, he transmigrated to the world of the Douluo Continent, where soul masters are supreme.
Dugu Han is unwilling to be mediocre, nor is he willing to spend his life in mediocrity.
Becoming a god at level 100!
Perhaps it is just a legend for 99% of the people in this world.
A legend from ten thousand years ago.
But Dugu Han knew that it was real. So, when he transmigrated over six years ago, he set a goal for himself:
A goal of becoming a god and living forever!
That is why it was difficult for him to accept his level-one innate soul power.
"In the Douluo Continent, are there any elixirs or natural treasures that can improve innate soul power?"
As soon as Dugu Han returned to the wooden house, he began to think.
Mystic Water Pill is one!
But Mystic Water Pill is only useful for soul masters below level three innate soul power. At most, it can improve their innate soul power to level three. Beyond that, it will have no effect!
Dugu Han was not satisfied with level three innate soul power.
What he wants is a higher level of innate soul power or even full innate soul power!
"The Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well can promote the evolution of the martial soul after taking it, and it can improve innate soul power."
"But the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well has been forcibly taken by Tang San. Before Tang San left Douluo Continent, he also laid divine restrictions and planted the seeds of the Jade Phosphor Seven Absolute Flowers. Now, although ten thousand years have passed, the divine restrictions have disappeared over time, but the seeds of the Jade Phosphor Seven Absolute Flowers have grown into ten-thousand-year-old Jade Phosphor Nine Absolute Flowers."
Dugu Han thought of the thousands of Jade Phosphor Nine Absolute Flowers in the canyon of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and shook his head subconsciously.
The Jade Phosphor poison cloud formed by the thousands of Jade Phosphor Nine Absolute Flowers spewing poisonous mist together—even if a Super Douluo stepped into it, they would die; an Ultimate Douluo would also be severely injured.
It is not something a newly awakened soul warrior can peek into.
Even with the addition of Soul Douluo Elder Xue, it is impossible.
Unless Dugu Han can possess the attribute of Ultimate Ice like Huo Yuhao in the original novel.
But if he has the attribute of Ultimate Ice, he wouldn't need to worry about improving his innate soul power. Moreover, he doesn't know the unique skills of the Tang Sect. Even if he enters the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he cannot deal with the immortal herbs that had 100,000 years of cultivation!
Wait!
Soul beast!
Ultimate Ice!
Dugu Han suddenly had an idea: Snow Empress!
The Snow Empress has the attribute of Ultimate Ice. With her 690,000 years of cultivation, she is enough to deal with the immortal herbs who had 100,000 years of cultivation in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
And most importantly, the Snow Empress is about to pass the 700,000-year heavenly tribulation!
Dugu Han's eyes brightened as he thought of this.
In the original novel, the Snow Empress failed to condense the Yin-Yang Complementary Soul Core, which damaged her origin, and she could not survive the 700,000-year catastrophe. Therefore, she had to find a 100,000-year-old snow lotus and was forced to transform. Finally, she was trapped in the God Sealing Altar by a soul engineer during her transformation.
"So, can I make a deal with the Snow Empress?"
"Use the location of the Manifold Mysterious Ice Essences!"
Dugu Han murmured.
He remembered very clearly that in the original novel, the Snow Empress mentioned this when she saw the Manifold Mysterious Ice Cavern under the Cold Spring of the Earth Dragon Sect.
The Manifold Mysterious Ice Essences is the most precious treasure among the treasures of ice-attributed soul beasts.
If she can obtain the Manifold Mysterious Ice Essences in advance, then she will have a 100% certainty to survive the 700,000-year catastrophe safely.
"It seems like a feasible plan."
Dugu Han carefully considered this plan in his mind and felt it was highly feasible.
Using the Manifold Mysterious Ice Essences to help the Snow Empress survive the 700,000-year catastrophe in exchange for her taking him into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to help him deal with the immortal herb who had 100,000 years of cultivation—that would be a very cost-effective deal for the Snow Empress.
She would agree.
And there is no need to worry about the Snow Empress breaking the contract.
The Snow Empress is the Ruler of the Extreme North!
With her pride as an Empress, as long as she agrees to something, she will never regret it!
But how can he meet the Snow Empress?
Dugu Han pondered this question, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
As the Ruler of the Extreme North, even 100,000-year soul beasts in the region have difficulty meeting the Snow Empress.
Let alone humans!
"Bang!"
"Bang! Bang!"
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
Dugu Han snapped out of his thoughts, stood up, walked over, and opened the door, asking, "Elder Xue, what's wrong?"
"Young Master, this is what the master left for you before he passed away."
Elder Xue produced an ancient box.
He opened the box to reveal a soul guidance ring.
"What is this?"
Dugu Han reached out and took the ring, examining it carefully.
The ring is ice blue, made from the best Mysterious Ice Essence. Under the sunlight, it shines with a lonely, cold luster.
The holder of the ring is shaped like a white snowflake.
It is inlaid with a pure, flawless white jade gem.
At first glance, one can feel a sense of loneliness and sanctity.
"Young Master!"
"This ring is called: Love of Ice and Snow!"
"When the master was pursuing his wife, he went to the Sun Moon Empire and asked a ninth-level soul engineer to craft a ninth-level defense storage soul guidance device."
"Later, when the young master was born, his wife died in childbirth. The master then put this ring on his hand. Later, the master broke through to Super Douluo, and before entering the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he specifically asked this old servant to give it to you after your martial soul awakened."
After Elder Xue introduced the origin of the ring, he paused and added, "Young Master, don't worry about your innate soul power being only level one. I heard the master mention that within your family inheritance, there are ways to evolve martial souls and accelerate cultivation."
"There is such a thing?"
Dugu Han looked at the Love of Ice and Snow ring in his hand with some surprise.
"I only heard the master mention it a few times, but I think there must be a way in the ring the master left for you."
"Thank you, Elder Xue!"
Dugu Han nodded, returned to the wooden house, and immediately began studying the ninth-level defense storage soul guidance device—the Love of Ice and Snow!
