Ice Jade Scorpion King

"Thank you for saving our Rongrong."

As Sword Douluo spoke, he injected Soul Power into Dugu Feng's body to help him recover.

However, the moment the Soul Power entered Dugu Feng's body, it vanished without a trace like a stone sinking into the sea.

"Thank you, Senior Sword Douluo. This junior is Dugu Feng, Poison Douluo's grandson."

"So you're Old Poison's grandson. I heard Fengzhi mention you before. At such a young age, you've already reached the Soul Ancestor realm."

"You could be called the foremost among the younger generation."

Bone Douluo Gu Rong spoke slowly.

"I merely have a little talent and got lucky. This junior has matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will visit your sect."

After saying this, Dugu Feng slowly departed.

After putting some distance between himself and the two Douluo, Sword and Bone,

Dugu Feng spat out a mouthful of dark blood. Looking in the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest, a wicked smile appeared on his face.

"Thunder Tiger King, no matter how strong your cultivation is, once you've been poisoned by me, purging it won't be so easy. The stronger your cultivation, the more the Soul Power in your body will become a breeding ground for the poison."

"It will continue until your origin is exhausted to death. Although lightning has a restraining effect on poison, my poison contains the dual ice-fire poison of Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice."

"With these two ultimate attributes, unless your lightning can reach Ultimate Thunder, you can only resist it slightly. Otherwise, you will be unable to expel my poison from your body."

The most lethal aspect of the poison in Dugu Feng's dantian was its ability to continuously multiply through Soul Power.

In a sense, his poison was dead.

But in another sense, as long as there was Soul Power, his poison was alive.

Although his Pill Poison could not kill a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in a short time,

it could torment one and gradually drain away its origin.

Once he broke through to seven rings, he would definitely use this Thunder Tiger King as a Soul Ring.

By then, the Thunder Tiger King's Soul Power would surely be mixed with poison and transform into Poison Thunder.

At that thought, a trace of excitement rose in Dugu Feng's heart.

He could actually have used the Spirit Bone skill A Leap of a Thousand Li to escape immediately from the beginning, but he had expected two Titled Douluo to come to his rescue, so he had not used it.

After all, he needed to reach the Extreme North as quickly as possible, and A Leap of a Thousand Li could still be used for travel.

He had not expected Sword and Bone Douluo to arrive so slowly, but fortunately, they had still made it in time.

Dugu Feng headed to the nearest city and bought a large quantity of daily necessities.

This included some dried food.

After all, this time he was searching for an Ice Jade Scorpion over seventy thousand years old.

With his current physical condition, he could absorb one between seventy and ninety thousand years old.

Anything above ninety thousand years was somewhat risky.

However, once he broke through to Soul Emperor, his physical constitution would rival that of an ordinary Titled Douluo.

At that point, starting from his seventh Soul Ring, he could attach Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings.

Most importantly, from that moment onward, his remaining Soul Rings could also continuously increase by absorbing the Soul Rings of dead Soul Beasts.

Just imagine it—nine Soul Rings, all of them Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings. What a shocking sight that would be.

He would definitely participate in the Soul Master Tournament, but once he exposed his strength before Spirit Hall,

he would surely invite Spirit Hall's relentless pursuit.

They might even send Titled Douluo after him.

After fighting that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast today, he had also realized the gap between himself and a Titled Douluo.

That only made him want to become stronger.

Although his grandfather, Dugu Bo, was somewhat stronger than in the original work, he was still only a level ninety-three Titled Douluo.

Therefore, he needed to become even stronger in order to protect the family members who mattered to him.

What he lacked most now was time—the time to grow.

"When necessary, I can only head overseas. Spirit Hall's influence cannot reach overseas."

After secretly planning his escape route,

Dugu Feng used the A Leap of a Thousand Li Soul Skill for several consecutive days

to travel.

He went directly from the Star Dou Great Forest to the Extreme North.

Possessing Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire, he did not fear the cold of the Extreme North at all.

"This chill is even weaker than the cold spring of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

Dugu Feng wore thin clothing as he stood upon the snow-covered Extreme Northern Plain, without feeling the slightest cold.

Suddenly, an Icefield Snow Rabbit darted past him.

Dugu Feng struck out with one palm, instantly shattering the Icefield Snow Rabbit's internal organs.

A Hundred-Year Soul Ring slowly rose into the air.

Dugu Feng walked straight over, and the shadow behind him transformed into the Ice Fire Nether Toad Emperor.

The Ice Fire Nether Toad Emperor extended its tongue and instantly swallowed the Soul Ring into the shadow.

Dugu Feng then found a level spot and used Ultimate Fire to start a fire and roast the rabbit.

Using Ultimate Fire to start a fire and roast meat was, in a sense, also practice in controlling Ultimate Fire. Once he overdid it, the entire rabbit would be burned into charcoal by the Ultimate Fire.

Fortunately, Dugu Feng's control over Ultimate Fire had already reached the pinnacle.

The greatest advantage he had gained from the panel system was not Toad Style, but the supreme comprehension that had originally belonged to Ouyang Feng.

In other words, talent.

Self-Created Soul Skills that ordinary people would need decades, or even an entire lifetime, to create

came to him effortlessly.

And whenever he created one, he created several at once.

All of this was thanks to his supreme comprehension.

Just as Dugu Feng finished roasting the snow rabbit and brought it to his mouth, a palm-sized frog-type Soul Beast suddenly jumped into his arms.

Dugu Feng looked closely and discovered that it was a Vermilion Clear Ice Toad, a top-tier Soul Beast among frog-type Soul Beasts.

Moreover, it was a size larger than an ordinary Vermilion Clear Ice Toad.

It was a one-in-ten-thousand Vermilion Clear Ice Toad King.

However, there was a savage wound on its back.

Dugu Feng could feel the fear emanating from the Vermilion Clear Ice Toad King.

Before he could react, the ground in the distance began to tremble. A massive Ice Jade Scorpion King charged straight at him.

Judging by its size, it was at least sixty thousand years old.

The Ice Jade Scorpion King let out a roar. Clearly, it had already regarded the Vermilion Clear Ice Toad King as food.

"Little fellow, it's lucky you found me. Don't worry, I won't let you die."

Dugu Feng immediately placed it inside the Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch.

"After wearing out iron shoes in a fruitless search, I found it without any effort. After searching this vast Extreme North for so long, I've finally found a suitable Ice Jade Scorpion King."

The Ice Jade Scorpion King's Scorpion Tail instantly stabbed toward Dugu Feng, carrying an extreme chill.

Dugu Feng immediately unleashed the Ice-Fire Toad Palm, and blazing Ultimate Fire ignited around both his hands.

He pressed his palms together and forcibly clamped the Ice Jade Scorpion's massive Scorpion Tail between them.

Ultimate Fire immediately began to burn.

The Ice Jade Scorpion King hurriedly pulled back its Scorpion Tail and let out a hysterical roar. A blast of cold air instantly spewed from its mouth,

transforming into sharp ice pillars that crashed toward him.

Dugu Feng circulated the Soul Power within his body and blasted out with one palm, directly shattering the ice pillars.

"If I can't deal with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast, can't I deal with you?"

"Fifth Soul Skill! Nether Domain!"

Dugu Feng immediately activated his Nether Domain and began absorbing the Ice Jade Scorpion King's Soul Power.

His Nether Domain held absolute suppression over fire- and ice-attributed Soul Beasts and Soul Masters, because his body contained Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice.

It absorbed the Soul Power of Soul Masters and Soul Beasts with those two attributes at an extremely rapid speed.

The Ice Jade Scorpion King sensed that something was wrong. Its long Scorpion Tail whipped about, transforming into sharp ice spikes that radiated bone-piercing chill as they shot toward Dugu Feng.
