Ice and Fire Body Tempering

"Brother Lang Lei, you're here~"

As Lang Lei approached, Little Griseo stopped painting and looked at him.

"Mm, I finished up over there, so I came by." Lang Lei took an Immortal Herb from the System Space. "Little Griseo, do you want to eat this?"

"Hmm? Is this the medicinal herb Brother Lang Lei picked earlier?" Little Griseo looked at Lang Lei curiously.

"Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone. It nourishes the muscles and bones, and it can improve one's complexion." Lang Lei spoke with some uncertainty. "But I don't know whether it'll actually work on Little Griseo."

Though she was only a little girl, Little Griseo clearly cared about beauty as well. The moment she heard that Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone had beautifying effects, her eyes lit up.

"Brother Lang Lei..."

"All right, it was meant for you anyway." Lang Lei smiled and handed the Narcissus Jade Marrow Bone to Little Griseo.

"Thank you, Brother Lang Lei!" Little Griseo accepted it and swallowed it without hesitation.

After Lang Lei and Little Griseo stared wide-eyed at each other for five minutes...

"It seems... you got a tiny bit taller?" Lang Lei said uncertainly.

"Mm... My skin doesn't seem any different..." Little Griseo was a little disappointed.

"That's because Little Griseo's skin was already very nice." Lang Lei smiled and patted Little Griseo's head reassuringly.

"Really?"

"When has Brother ever lied to Little Griseo?" Lang Lei said with a smile.

"Mm! Thank you, Brother Lang Lei!"

"All right, Little Griseo, draw by yourself for a while. Brother still has some other things to do." Lang Lei gently patted Little Griseo's shoulder.

"Mm."

Lang Lei chuckled again and walked toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

As he walked, two Immortal Herbs appeared in Lang Lei's hand. Suppressed by the system, the two herbs could no longer harm him.

What Lang Lei needed to do now was undergo Ice and Fire Golden Body Refinement.

He placed the two together, then swiftly swallowed them.

Lang Lei only felt alternating waves of heat and cold throughout his body, leaving him extremely uncomfortable.

Frowning, he did not struggle much and immediately leaped into the boundary between the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The instant he entered, Lang Lei felt as though his entire body were burning. Piercing pain swept through every muscle in his body.

Lang Lei's body continuously grew stronger through a cycle of destruction, reconstruction, destruction, and reconstruction.

Suddenly, his First Martial Soul emerged on its own and began spreading through the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Lang Lei, who was enduring the pain, had no time to pay attention to that. He merely gritted his teeth and kept himself from crying out, or Little Griseo outside would worry again.

After Earth Dragon Dust merged into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, an enormous suction force began dragging Lang Lei's body downward. If one looked down from the sky, they would discover that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was slowly rotating.

At that moment, his Second Martial Soul, Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment, also became active on its own. It was as if a pump had been installed inside Lang Lei's body, greedily absorbing the energy contained within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

This truly put Lang Lei through hell. Ice Fire Earth Dragon and Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment, one outside and one inside—yet no matter what either of them wanted to do, they had to pass through Lang Lei's body.

The pain of Ice and Fire Golden Body Refinement, combined with the tearing sensation caused by his Martial Souls, was simply wonderful.

Fortunately, Lang Lei could feel his body rapidly growing stronger, which gave him some psychological comfort and allowed him to resist the urge to give up.

Who knew how much time had passed...

Griseo blinked her big eyes and adorably stared at the huge pit before her. Her Brother Lang Lei was currently lying in the empty pit, looking as though he had obtained some great treasure as he foolishly flashed her a V sign.

"Ding, congratulations to the host. Your Martial Soul has evolved. Earth Dragon Dust has transformed into Ice Fire Earth Dragon, and the innate domain Dust Dragon Domain has transformed into Ice and Fire Twin Heavens."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the innate skill: Immunity to All Poisons (Pseudo). All poisons on the Douluo Plane are ineffective against the host, and all ordinary poisons from other planes are ineffective against the host."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the innate skill: Immunity to Ice and Fire (Pseudo). Ice-element and fire-element attacks below the Soul Douluo level are ineffective against the host."

"Ding, the host's Second Martial Soul has accumulated 500,000 years of soul ring cultivation. Please be informed."

"Ding, congratulations to the host. Your Soul Power Level has risen to level thirty-nine. You have twelve Draw Chances remaining. Please use them as soon as possible~"

"Dust Dragon Domain: Increases Lang Lei's defense by 100%, reduces enemies' movement speed by 36%, and inflicts a one-time 'Intimidation' effect upon activation. All enemies within the domain have their soul skills sealed for one minute.

Now updated to—

Ice and Fire Twin Heavens: Increases Lang Lei's defense by 300%, increases Lang Lei's attack by 50%, reduces enemies' movement speed by 50%, and increases Lang Lei's Soul Power recovery effect by 10%. Upon activation, inflicts a one-time 'Ice and Fire Twin Heavens' effect. All enemies within the domain are immobilized for one minute. If an enemy's Soul Power Level exceeds Lang Lei's by thirty levels, they are stunned for five seconds instead.

Note: The effect of the innate skill Immunity to Ice and Fire is enhanced within the domain. All ice-element and fire-element attacks below the God King level on Douluo Continent are ineffective against Lang Lei."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining rare items (Purple): Spirit of the Ice Dragon, Spirit of the Fire Dragon."

This wave had indeed greatly improved Lang Lei.

Not only had his physical constitution risen to another level, but he had also gained several quite useful defensive skills.

More importantly, from this day onward, his First Martial Soul had finally entered the ranks of God-tier Martial Souls!

Ice Fire Earth Dragon, a Mutated Martial Soul and a new Martial Soul that had never appeared on the continent before, inherited the power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The Ice Fire Earth Dragon was naturally endowed with ultimate fire and ultimate ice.

For Lang Lei, this was like adding wings to a tiger.

"Brother Lang Lei—"

At that moment, Little Griseo's call came from above him.

"I'm coming!"

Lang Lei exerted a little force through his calves and leaped upward, jumping directly out of the deep pit and landing steadily before Little Griseo.

"Brother Lang Lei, how did you drink so much water into your stomach all at once?"

Little Griseo could not help asking.

She had just watched the rotating, two-colored water slowly sink away, and she had also watched Lang Lei jump into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. It was hardly strange that she asked.

"What? How could I have drunk it all? It was absorbed by Brother's Martial Soul~" Lang Lei patiently explained.

"Absorbed?" Little Griseo nodded as though she understood.

Lang Lei smiled. Little Griseo did not need to understand such things. As long as she was happy every day, that was enough~

As for what came next...

With a flip of Lang Lei's hand, two condensed masses of energy, one blue and one red, appeared in his palm.

"What are these? They're so pretty..."

"The spirits of the ice dragon and fire dragon."

"Spirits?"

"I don't really understand either..."
