Self Martial Soul Fusion Technique, Frost Forest! The suicidal lickspittle Yan!

As these three entries merged into him, Luo Zixi felt the burden on his body lighten considerably once more.

A cool, icy energy swept through Luo Zixi's entire body. At that moment, he felt that he had gained another ability he could wield.

Meanwhile, his Wood Spirit Body and Ice Spirit Body were naturally raised to the third tier due to the effects granted by his soul rings.

With a casual wave of his hand, bone-chilling ice crystals directly spread across the surrounding vines.

Seeing this, Luo Zixi thought of the martial soul fusion technique used by the pair of sisters with Ice Spirit and Wood Spirit martial souls in Skysea City during the era of Legend of the Dragon King: Frost Forest!

Feeling the violent trembling that still shook the ground, Luo Zixi immediately decided to test underground whether he could combine the two abilities and complete his special "Self Martial Soul Fusion Technique."

Using this ability consumed an enormous amount of energy, but given Luo Zixi's personality, would he really save up his own energy for some ultimate move?

What a joke. Didn't all his plant brothers have inexhaustible energy inside them? Just drain them!

As Luo Zixi frantically gathered energy, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, standing aboveground, furrowed his brow slightly. For some reason, he felt that the surrounding environment was becoming increasingly strange, even carrying a hint of danger.

Looking at Yan, who was still by the lake unleashing his fire and earth powers to ravage the waters in an attempt to lure out whatever creature was below, Yue Guan called out directly.

"Yan, come back first."

However, after hearing Chrysanthemum Douluo's words, a trace of displeasure rose in Yan's deep red eyes. He had been working at this for so long, only to be told to return now. How humiliating!

But the other party was an elder of Spirit Hall, so he had no choice but to obey. He immediately prepared to use a soul skill and give the lakeshore one last blow.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Lava Hell!"

As Yan, transformed into a lava beast, slammed a fist into the lakeshore, streams of terrifying lava erupted from beneath him.

The lava gradually turned into black char upon meeting the water, and by then, half the lake had begun to boil.

Yet just as he prepared to retract his martial soul and return to Chrysanthemum Douluo's side, an indescribable aura of extreme cold instantly enveloped him.

When he turned back in horror, he discovered that the lake surface, which had been boiling just moments ago, was now covered in a thin layer of frost!

What terrified him even more was that the surface of the lake was still boiling as before, as though time had frozen in place over the water.

"Not good! Yan, get out of there!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's martial soul was the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, a top-tier plant-type martial soul with an exceptionally keen sensitivity to natural elements.

Only now did he realize where the unease in his heart had come from. The wood-element energy beneath their feet had become far denser than elsewhere!

It was only after that wave of extreme cold appeared that he finally became aware of this.

At the same time, within the underground space, Luo Zixi was frantically drawing energy from the surrounding plants and converting it into Ice Spirit Power.

Those guys above were banging away and forcing him to come out. One look was enough to tell they were up to no good!

If they were going to play, then they might as well play big. Perhaps after this attack, aside from that middle-aged man whose aura he could not detect, everyone else would be done for!

"Self Martial Soul Fusion Technique—Modified Version, Frost Forest!"

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Within a two-hundred-meter radius around the lake, the ground and everything above it were almost instantly engulfed by ultra-low temperatures. Over a thousand Frost Trees condensed from Ultimate Ice violently burst from the earth!

Boom!

A Frost Tree infused with Ultimate Ice, its surface covered in sharp ice spikes, instantly burst through the ground beneath Xie Yue's feet.

By then, his feet had already frozen stiff. Even as a Soul Ancestor, he could not sense the faint Soul Power fluctuations coming from the ground at all!

"Not good!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan was the first to sense the disturbance beneath his feet. He immediately grabbed Xie Yue and Hu Liena by the backs of their collars and hurled them into the sky!

Pshhk!

But he was ultimately a step too late. A glinting ice spike pierced straight through the sole of Xie Yue's foot with virtually no resistance, and scarlet blood instantly soaked his shoe.

"Arghhhhh!"

Even though Xie Yue had endured Spirit Hall's brutal trials, he could not withstand the piercing agony of having the bones in his foot punctured!

Moreover, that extreme cold spread from his foot through his entire body!

"Damn it!"

Watching Xie Yue, who had been standing beside him, suffer such an injury, anger flashed in Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes.

"Sixth Soul Skill, A Thousand Trees, Ten Thousand Trees, Flowers Bloom Leisurely! (This is the manhua version; the anime version is: Golden Stamens Flowing Rosy Clouds.)"

As he looked at Yan, standing at the edge of the lake and surrounded by the trees of extreme ice erupting around him, a trace of malice entered Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes.

Arrogant, ignorant brat. If he died this time, he would have no one to blame but himself!

Chrysanthemum Douluo deeply disliked Yan's rash and reckless temperament. Still, Yan possessed some influence within Spirit Hall, and both his martial soul and talent were exceptional.

Barring any accidents, he had the potential to reach at least the level of a Titled Douluo in the future. Of course, that was assuming nothing went wrong.

"No, no! I don't want to die! Chrysanthemum Elder, save me!"

As his cry for help rang out, hundreds of Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum petals shot toward Yan. Every Frost Tree the petals swept past shattered into broken branches and fell to the ground.

Yet the trees showed no sign of slowing their growth! They continued to shoot upward, new branches constantly sprouting from the gaps before bursting through the earth in an instant, becoming terrifying weapons capable of tearing human bodies apart!

Just as the hundreds of flower stamens were about to reach Yan's feet and pull him out, a bone-piercing chill shot through his right arm!

"Pfft!"

Warm, crimson blood instantly blurred his vision, but by then, the hundreds of golden petals had already wrapped around him completely. The wildly extending icy branches around him were also sliced into icy powder by those petals.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

At the same time, all the Frost Trees—no, it could be said that the entire Frost Forest—began growing upward once more! As though making one final struggle.

Thinner branches grew from the thick trunks, and even finer ice crystals formed upon those thinner branches!

Meanwhile, Luo Zixi, who was still at the bottom of the lake, was finally about to finish his "casting."

In just a few breaths, he had directly converted all the life energy within three hundred meters around the lake into nutrients for his Frost Forest.

It could be said that without any external aid, the area within a hundred meters of this lake would become a lifeless "dead zone" for the next decade or so.

However, he had just heard the other party shout something about a Sixth Soul Skill, along with that voice that could not possibly sound any more effeminate.

Chrysanthemum Douluo—he had to be that dead sissy from Spirit Hall, and he was also the diehard loyalist of that crazy woman, Bibi Dong!

But what he needed to consider now was how to get away. After all, the other party was a Titled Douluo. Leaving this place unscathed might prove somewhat difficult.

"Zixi, there's someone up there whose aura is very similar to one of the people who hunted my mother back then!"

At that moment, Xiao Wu instantly rushed out from Luo Zixi's second spirit ring, her light-red eyes filled with fury.

"No. My strength isn't sufficient right now. If we want to avenge Mother-in-law, we'll need to plan it carefully."

Luo Zixi's expression also carried a trace of tension. After all, Xiao Wu's request was something he truly could not accomplish at his current level!

After hearing Luo Zixi's words, Xiao Wu's cheeks instantly flushed scarlet.

"Th-then what should we do? Just wait here for them to leave?"

Luo Zixi was also thinking of a way to deal with the situation. As the old saying went, as long as one did not let their thinking stagnate, there would always be more solutions than difficulties. If all else failed, Luo Zixi could only try a few more "dirty tricks."

"If it really comes down to it, we'll capture a hostage with some weight behind them. I doubt he'd dare lay a hand on one of his own!"

A succubus ≠ a stud. The protagonist is not a saint. There are expected to be many, many female leads, but forget that crazy woman's married self—at most, she'll be taken in as a female slave for everyone's amusement.
