Far North

"As expected of Mystic Ancestor, he always gets things done reliably.

If it were the Holy Spirit Cult's Supreme Elder, Sister Lexuan would probably be seriously injured again, and I would be in a sorry state..."

You Jie watched the ashes of the Evil Soul Master scatter in the wind, a smile appearing on his lips.

Being able to cleanly deal with an Evil Soul Master Title Douluo, and even have the spare capacity to showcase his unique skill to You Jie and Zhang Lexuan, Mu En's current condition was truly excellent.

As for the Dragon Emperor Evil-Breaking Slash itself, it also had a certain benefit for You Jie.

Of course, this didn't mean You Jie would directly summon his hands as an attack, then apply a golden enchantment to fight Crab Fist.

The state of heightened integration of spirit, energy, and mind that Mu En entered when performing the Dragon Emperor Evil-Breaking Slash was of great help to You Jie in comprehending the Clear Mind and reaching a higher realm.

You Jie had also tried it himself, Synchro Summoning Stardust Dragon and the small car separately, then attempting to Accel Synchro Summoned Stardust Dragon.

The result was the same as Brother Crab in the original work; he failed to Synchro Summon successfully even once.

This had nothing to do with Soul Power. Although it couldn't last, with You Jie's Soul Power, he could summon a ten-star big monster to show its face.

The gap lay in the Clear Mind.

"After the competition a few months from now, I'll try to comprehend it too..."

Although You Jie already planned to comprehend the Clear Mind, these few months were clearly not suitable.

During these months, You Jie had other important things to do, and there wouldn't be any opponents in the competition a few months later that would require Accel Synchro to deal with.

Most importantly, You Jie also needed some time to transform the inspiration born from witnessing Mu En's Dragon Emperor Evil-Breaking Slash into a practical plan.

After dealing with the troublesome Evil Soul Master and completing the memorial rites, You Jie and his two companions headed north, straight for the Far North.

Of course, while on the road, Mu En continued to hide in the shadows, watching and protecting the two with a benevolent smile. Zhang Lexuan, naturally, rode on You Jie's Duel Runner, hugging You Jie's waist from behind, experiencing this different mode of transportation.

Although due to the road conditions, even with You Jie pushing the speed to the limit, it couldn't compare to Zhang Lexuan flying at full speed. However, this new experience still brought her unprecedented joy.

Of course, it would be even better if she could personally pilot a similar Soul Tool of a higher rank.

Thinking of this, she subconsciously hugged You Jie tighter, her upper body pressing even closer to him.

Feeling the pressure from behind, You Jie almost lost focus. However, while this feeling was novel, it wouldn't make him the first Flip-Over King on the Douluo Continent.

Still, You Jie had guessed one or two of Zhang Lexuan's thoughts.

"Sister Lexuan, do you want to try it yourself too? Then after we get back, I'll discuss it with Old Qian and make a few more excellent ones for you."

"Okay! But compared to galloping side-by-side with you, this feeling right now seems pretty good too."

Zhang Lexuan replied with a smile, almost making You Jie's heart flutter again.

"Good, good, a teachable disciple. Although still far inferior to this old man in my day, it should be enough to satisfy Lexuan."

Mu En, observing all this from the shadows not far away, was even more pleased with the interaction between You Jie and Zhang Lexuan.

Bei Bei might be able to pass down their lineage's Martial Soul, but Mu En's true successor had long been You Jie.

Now that You Jie was also very satisfactory in terms of romantic relationships, his slight worries from secretly planning the "secret room" incident had completely vanished.

After all, while the secret room was effective, it was hard to say what would happen afterward; the destruction of the Martial Soul Hall was a cautionary tale.

The group traveled north, but at Mu En's reminder, they did not stop in major cities along the way, such as Dragon City. At most, they only stayed in some remote small villages.

Even so, Zhang Lexuan noticed that there seemed to be more people on the road than usual.

"I didn't expect it to be so lively even near the Far North. Yet, very few people can actually reach the core region of the Far North."

Thinking of the harsh environment of the Far North, a hint of dissatisfaction appeared in Zhang Lexuan's gentle expression.

Unlike the dangers of the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, the danger of the Far North lay in the harshness of the environment itself.

The low temperatures and blizzards were enough to deter most Soul Masters, and although the soul beasts in the Far North were not as abundant, the cruel environment allowed them to exert greater strength. It was said that the strongest soul beast in the Far North, the Snow Empress, could even repel the Beast God Di Tian with home-field advantage.

To venture into the depths of the Far North's core region, one not only needed considerable strength but also the good fortune to avoid the detection of the powerful soul beasts there.

Even in the small village where You Jie and the others were currently resting, there were several hunting teams that seemed to lack strength and only knew how to charge in recklessly.

This showed how many people the released message had attracted.

"After all, most people have no idea about the dangers of the Far North. In a sense, the core area of the Far North is even more dangerous than the Land of Great Calamity in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Moreover, if there were truly opportunities there, they wouldn't be so easy to obtain. Otherwise, the person who spread the news wouldn't have chosen to publicize it in the Star Luo Empire but would have kept it quiet for personal gain."

You Jie explained while modifying his Duel Runner in the courtyard.

To travel to the Far North, You Jie had prepared some modifications for his Duel Runner, including a spare energy box composed of a newly made heavy absorption milk bottle from the Soul Tool Department.

The Duel Runner itself had also undergone some cold-proofing treatment, so as long as it didn't encounter a blizzard, there would be no problem with its operation.

"Then we..."

"Don't worry, Sister Lexuan. With Mystic Ancestor here, even if the rumor isn't true, we'll just treat it as a sightseeing trip to the Far North.

"Besides, I have a premonition that we won't be returning empty-handed this time."

You Jie installed the last heating module onto the Duel Runner and patted it with satisfaction.

With Mu En around, coupled with the Duel Runner's cold-proofing measures, as long as they didn't encounter a situation like Prisoner Huo and Ice Empress's fusion, they would be completely safe.

The Snow Empress had already been captured and was waiting to be auctioned in the Star Luo Empire. The Ice Empress would soon merge with Huo Yuhao. As for the Titan Snow Demon King and the Ice Bear King, neither was a match for the healthy Mu En.

You Jie was very confident that their journey would be smooth sailing!
