Sunset Forest (Please Follow, Monthly Tickets, Recommendation Tickets, and Bookmarks)

She stood nearly 1.8 meters tall, her proportions as perfect as a cheetah's, radiating the beauty of strength and speed.

Her tight dark azure leather armor outlined her breathtaking curves, faint streamlined azure wolf patterns flowing across its surface.

Her neat silver-gray hair was sharply defined strand by strand like wolf fur, fluttering slightly in the wind.

Her face was coldly stunning, like an ice field beneath moonlight, with sharply defined features and a high, straight nose. Most captivating of all were her eyes—azure-green vertical pupils like the finest jade!

Cold and sharp, they seemed capable of piercing through every prey's weakness. They held not the slightest trace of human emotion, only the indifference and focus of a top predator.

Most unnerving was the aura she emanated.

The Soul Power fluctuations of a level 96 Super Douluo were like an invisible hurricane—condensed and restrained, yet containing an edge capable of tearing through anything.

The proud, swift, and ruthless pressure of a wolf emperor naturally spread outward, standing evenly against Xue Qinglan's icy chill and Long Chen's blazing heat!

The moment she appeared, those azure-green vertical pupils locked onto Ling Han.

There was no doubt or confusion in her gaze, only absolute certainty and... submission!

The Extreme Ice and Extreme Power of Ling Han's Ice Hell Dragon Emperor made her instinctively sense the oppression of a superior being.

She dropped to one knee, moving as swiftly as lightning with a fluidity that combined power and grace.

Her clear, cold voice rang out like the night wind sweeping across a blade:

"Azure Shadow Wolf Emperor, Ying Yue! Answering the summons! Greetings, my lord!"

The instant her words fell, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!

Nine Soul Rings rose beneath her feet in an instant, like nine dazzling stars!

In particular, that blood-red 100,000-year Soul Ring radiated a terrifyingly ferocious aura, within which the phantom of a massive azure wolf howling toward the sky could faintly be seen!

Powerful Soul Power fluctuations perfectly merged with the martial spirit pressure of the Azure Shadow Wolf Emperor, making even the surrounding air seem to freeze!

Level 96! A Super Douluo with a 100,000-year Soul Ring! Her martial spirit was the Azure Shadow Wolf Emperor! Codename: Ying Yue!

Looking at this new bodyguard before him, who radiated a lethal aura like the queen of the night, Ling Han's heart filled with wild delight!

Thirty-five thousand points had bought him such a perfectly suited peak Agility Attack Type Douluo!

Xue Qinglan was the controller of Absolute Zero, Long Chen was the Blazing Sacred Dragon that could Burn Eight Wastelands, and now he had Ying Yue, a peerless shadow assassin who tore through darkness!

His core team had instantly filled in its final and most crucial missing piece—ultimate speed and assassination!

"Good! Ying Yue, rise!"

Ling Han's voice carried barely restrained excitement, and even the aura of the Ice Hell Dragon Emperor trembled slightly with his emotional fluctuations.

"From this day onward, you will be the third offering under my command! Equal to Sister Xue and Uncle Long!"

At his words, a nearly imperceptible glimmer flashed through Ying Yue's azure-green vertical pupils. She seemed satisfied with the title and status of "offering."

She rose crisply and stood at Ling Han's side like a silent, dangerous shadow. Her gaze swept over Xue Qinglan and Long Chen, and she gave them a slight nod in greeting.

Xue Qinglan's icy eyes flickered, while Long Chen grinned and nodded.

Feeling the incomparably powerful yet entirely different auras of the three Super Douluo beside him, Ling Han felt the bloodline of the Ice Hell Dragon Emperor surge and roar within him, as though rejoicing at the gathering of this strength.

Just as he was about to look ahead to the future of the Star Dou Great Forest, the system's notification sounded once more:

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well! Dugu Bo! And a 300,000-year exclusive Soul Bone—the Frost Dragon Right Arm Soul Bone!

Ling Han's gaze instantly became incomparably heated!

The ultimate environment where ice and fire converged at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well held an unimaginable attraction for his Ice Hell Dragon Emperor's Extreme Ice!

The Immortal Herbs nurtured there could also greatly strengthen the foundation of both him and his team!

And that 300,000-year Frost Dragon Right Arm Soul Bone... the name alone made the martial spirit within him let out an incomparably eager roar!

Once he fused with the Extreme Ice, Extreme Power, and Destruction Dragon Might it contained, his combat strength—especially the power of the Ice Hell Dragon Emperor—would undergo an earth-shaking transformation!

"The Star Dou Great Forest... its core region has been secured."

Ling Han's voice was low and powerful. He glanced toward Lake of Life, then turned his unwavering gaze toward Sunset Forest without the slightest hesitation.

A cold, resolute smile curled across his lips, revealing his absolute thirst for treasure and power:

"Ying Yue! Sister Xue! Uncle Long!"

"Your subordinates await!" Three voices answered at once, filled with absolute obedience.

"Destination: Sunset Forest, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well! Depart immediately!" Ling Han's order was decisive.

Ling Han's command was like an icy current from the Ice Hell, instantly freezing all hesitation. Their destination: Sunset Forest, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well! Depart immediately!

Ying Yue did not hesitate in the slightest. A sharp gleam flashed through her azure-green vertical pupils.

Her entire body blurred, turned transparent, and finally vanished completely from where she stood, like ink dissolving into water. Only a nearly imperceptible breeze carrying wild killing intent remained.

She had transformed into an invisible shadow, stealthily racing toward Sunset Forest at a speed beyond reason, becoming the deadliest scout and vanguard.

"Young Master Ling Han, please."

Xue Qinglan's cool voice rang out with its usual respect.

She stepped forward, and the icy blue light around her suddenly surged!

A clear, resounding phoenix cry that seemed capable of freezing souls echoed across the heavens!

Behind her, the enormous phantom of an icy blue phoenix formed from Extreme Ice instantly solidified, swiftly becoming tangible!

An Extreme Ice Phoenix with a wingspan exceeding ten meters proudly appeared above the lakeshore. Its body was crystal-clear, radiating the chill of Absolute Zero, every feather flowing with deep icy blue radiance.

As its wings spread, a terrifying cold current swept downward, instantly freezing a vast stretch of the lake below into mirror-like solid ice!

Xue Qinglan herself lightly landed in the center of the phoenix's broad back, as though it had been carved from cold jade. She turned slightly, her Ice Flame golden eyes looking toward Ling Han.

"Sister Xue,"

A smile of trust and slight dependence appeared on Ling Han's face, an expression he rarely showed before his subordinates.

"I'll have to rely on you for the journey this time." Before his words had even faded, he moved. Rather than leaping up, he took a single step directly behind Xue Qinglan, naturally extending his arms and gently wrapping them around her slender waist, which contained endless power of ice.
