Douluo Dalu 2: The True God King-Chapter 290: [DD2]:

As the three soul bones revealed their presence, Su Yu, who had kept his eyes shut for over a day, finally opened them slowly.

As his star-like eyes flickered open, icy blue and fiery red light intertwined, emitting a sharp, overwhelming aura.

Then, the red glow rapidly faded, and Su Yu's eyes returned to a piercing icy blue.

With a gentle exhale, a breath of fiery red and icy blue mist escaped his lips. His figure flashed, instantly rising into mid-air.

Ice formed into clothing, covering the necessary areas. However, Su Yu's upper body remained bare.

His muscles, sculpted like a masterpiece, flowed seamlessly along his frame, his jade-like skin glistening with a smooth, translucent luster. He resembled a living work of art.

Snow Empress's large, ice-blue eyes widened as she stared unblinkingly, seemingly entranced.

Su Yu lowered his gaze, first looking at the Darkgold Dreadclaw, then at the radiant left arm bone, before finally inspecting his own body.

His physique had always been incredibly strong, vastly surpassing others of the same rank. Even pure defense-type or strength-type soul masters couldn't compare to him.

Since Su Yu's physical body had always been enhanced in all aspects, his figure was well-proportioned, tending toward perfection.

Now, after undergoing the Ice and Fire Refining process, his physique had undoubtedly broken through another limit.

His entire body seemed to radiate a faint divine glow, exuding a subtle fragrance.

His jade-like skin gleamed with a translucent purity, with traces of icy blue and fiery red light flickering on its surface.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call Su Yu's body a true treasure physique at this point.

["This is insane! Boss's body doesn't even seem human anymore!"]

In the spiritual sea, Skydream shouted in exaggerated shock.

Ice Empress shot a disdainful glance at Skydream, but even her crystalline eyes revealed a hint of astonishment.

In her view, Su Yu at this moment resembled a humanoid beast.

Among human soul masters, those who could match Su Yu's physical strength were extremely rare—practically nonexistent.

Even the super Douluos she had seen before couldn't compare to Su Yu's current physique.

["If Boss had such a body at rank 50, you probably wouldn't have needed to seal your power,"] Skydream teased, bouncing around mischievously.

Ice Empress frowned slightly, then shook her head. ["More or less, but with his current body and spiritual power, absorbing a three-hundred-thousand-year soul beast might not be a problem."]

"This Su Yu is truly ridiculous."

["Heh, the more ridiculous he is, the better it proves our judgment. If Boss doesn't become a god, then that would truly be bizarre."]

Skydream chuckled smugly.

Though he had been forced into becoming Su Yu's third soul ring, he now felt nothing but relief.

He was almost one hundred percent certain—Su Yu would become a god.

With such an insane level of achievement, even those who had become gods in the past paled in comparison.

["You do have a point,"] Ice Empress said coolly.

...

While they chatted in the spiritual sea, outside, Su Yu had finally adapted to his newly transformed body.

Looking at his rejuvenated external soul bones and powerful physique, he knew that he had once again undergone a heaven-defying transformation.

He clenched his fist, feeling the explosive power within.

At this moment, he had the illusion that he could tear down the heavens themselves.

If the heavens had a handle, he would grab it. If the earth had a ring, he would pull it.

Though it was just an exaggerated metaphor, Su Yu estimated that his raw strength had surpassed 100,800 jin (over 50 tons).

If it were a certain legendary trident, he could undoubtedly lift it with ease.

To put it bluntly, Su Yu could now smack a Soul Douluo into oblivion with a single casual slap.

Without even using soul power, he could shatter a Soul Douluo's soul power defenses with a barehanded strike.

"Not bad, not bad."

Feeling the immense strength coursing through him, Su Yu narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

"Not bad my ass! Do you think you're impressive walking around naked?"

On the shore, Snow Empress wore a look of disdain. However, her gaze never once left Su Yu's body.

Su Yu smirked and flashed beside her.

"Do you like what you see?" he asked playfully.

"It looks good... Pah! Pah! Pah! I wasn't looking! Who would want to look at you?!"

Snow Empress instinctively answered truthfully, then immediately realized her slip and hurriedly corrected herself with a look of mock disdain.

"Oh?"

"Is that so?"

"But someone was staring so hard, she even started drooling."

Startled, Snow Empress quickly reached for the corner of her mouth. The moment her fingers touched her lips, she knew she had been tricked.

Enraged, she immediately lashed out with a kick.

Su Yu reached out and caught her delicate, snow-white foot in his palm.

The cool, smooth sensation made him instinctively toy with it.

"Let go of me, you bastard!"

Snow Empress was furious, her hands clawing at Su Yu.

Su Yu wrapped an arm around her waist, letting her scratch at him as she pleased.

With his current physique, she could barely even leave a mark.

"Little Snow, why are you so anxious?"

"Oh, I see. You're feeling guilty."

"But it's not a big deal, right? You've peeked at me more than once or twice before."

Su Yu teased with a smirk.

"Like hell I have!"

Snow Empress's face turned red, but she refused to back down.

Su Yu continued grinning mischievously.

"You—! You're infuriating! I'll fight you to the death!"

Completely enraged, Snow Empress erupted with Ultimate Ice energy, instantly freezing Su Yu into an ice sculpture.

But in the next moment, the ice shattered completely, and Su Yu stood there with a cheerful smile, completely unharmed.

"Little Snow, attacking me with Ultimate Ice isn't a wise choice at all."

"I, too, possess Ultimate Ice."

After undergoing the Ice-Fire Tempering, Su Yu's resistance to Ultimate Ice had become even stronger. Ordinary attacks could barely harm him anymore.

Seeing Su Yu still acting smug, Snow Empress grew annoyed and slapped at him.

Emperor's Palm.

This time, Su Yu didn't dare to be careless. He quickly let go of Snow Empress and dodged to the side.

Snow Empress finally broke free from his grip and immediately launched a flurry of punches and kicks at Su Yu, wishing she could stomp on his face.

Su Yu: Please, feel free to reward me all you like.

After the commotion settled down, Su Yu changed into a fresh set of clothes to cover himself.

"Master Su..."

From within the Yang Spring, Ma Xiaotao peeked out her head and softly called Su Yu, her face slightly flushed.

Su Yu patted his forehead as he realized what was happening.

All of Ma Xiaotao's clothes had been burned away by the Yang Spring's flames. Right now, she was completely bare—how could she possibly come out like this?

Moreover, the Yang Spring was filled with Ultimate Fire energy. Since fire and ice counteract each other, even Snow Empress, the only other female present, couldn't get close.

Su Yu had no choice but to handle this himself.

His figure flickered as he stepped onto the Yang Spring, advancing step by step.

For someone like him, who had consumed Scorching Glue, the Yang Spring felt no different from warm water.

When he reached Ma Xiaotao, he used his soul power to create a protective barrier, shielding both of them from sight.

Only then did he pull Ma Xiaotao out.

Water cascaded down her naked form in glistening rivulets, following every curve and valley of her exceptional figure. Her full breasts heaved with each breath, droplets clinging to her hardened nipples. Her slim waist flared to generous hips and long legs that seemed to go on forever. The sight was so intoxicating that even Su Yu's legendary control wavered, his eyes drinking in her beauty with barely concealed hunger.

Ma Xiaotao's skin flushed pink under his intense gaze, but she made no move to cover herself. If anything, she seemed to arch her back slightly, presenting her assets with a coy smile playing on her lips.

Forcing himself to maintain his composure, Su Yu retrieved a set of fresh clothes from his Soul Tool. The silk garments were fine and nearly transparent, clinging to her still-damp skin as she dressed before him with deliberate slowness. Each movement was a tantalizing dance, the fabric highlighting rather than hiding her curves.

Soon, she was fully clothed.

Su Yu then withdrew the barrier and carried her back to the shore.

As he returned, Snow Empress stood there with an icy expression, looking as cold and distant as a glacier.

"Was it nice to look at?"

She asked coldly, obviously referring to Ma Xiaotao.

Su Yu glanced at Snow Empress and smiled. "No matter how nice it was, it can't compare to you."

"You—!"

Snow Empress's face instantly flushed red. Furious, she swung her sword at Su Yu.

The extreme cold erupted, so intense that even space itself seemed to freeze and shatter.

Su Yu swiftly dodged and grabbed hold of her hand.

"Little Snow, are you trying to murder your husband?"

He exclaimed dramatically.

"You keep bullying me! And who's your husband?!"

Snow Empress blushed even deeper and shouted at him.

"You know in your heart whether it's true or not. Someone here sure likes to say one thing but feel another."

Su Yu chuckled mischievously, provoking Snow Empress even more.

Restraining her and holding her in his arms, Su Yu turned to Ma Xiaotao and spoke calmly.

"Xiaotao, release your Martial Soul. Let me take a look."

Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao nodded slightly.

A brilliant red light erupted from her body.

A loud phoenix cry echoed as a magnificent Fire Phoenix soared into the sky behind her.

The terrifying heat that accompanied it was so intense that even the Ultimate Ice around the Ying Spring began to evaporate rapidly.

Nearby, the ice-attribute medicinal plants trembled as if they'd encountered something they utterly despised.

Snow Empress, still struggling in Su Yu's arms, suddenly widened her eyes in shock. She could feel the extreme heat distorting the very space around them.

"This is... Ultimate Fire?"

Her voice carried surprise, along with a hint of seriousness.

Fire and ice naturally counteract each other.

As the purest Ice Spirit, Snow Empress instinctively rejected the extreme fire energy radiating from Ma Xiaotao.

"Level seventy-six... She gained four levels at once. The evil energy in her Martial Soul has also been completely purified."

"This incredibly scorching heat... There's no doubt. This is Ultimate Fire."

Su Yu observed Ma Xiaotao and nodded in approval.

Her evolution into an Ultimate Fire Soul Master was beneficial to him.

She had already been fully converted, so Su Yu had nothing to worry about.

Ma Xiaotao was a blade in his hands, and the sharper, the better.

Now that her Evil Fire Phoenix had evolved into a pure Ultimate Fire Phoenix, her strength had skyrocketed.

A Soul Sage with an Ultimate Martial Soul was strong enough to contend with an average Title Douluo.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao already possessed Title Douluo-level combat power.

"A hundred-thousand-year Immortal Herb truly is extraordinary—especially its main body. The medicinal potency is incredible."

Ma Xiaotao had only consumed a small portion of Scorching Glue, with most of the effect coming from the branch and petals of the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

Even so, she successfully evolved into an Ultimate Fire Soul Master.

That alone spoke volumes about the sheer value of these hundred-thousand-year-old herbs.

The essence of a ten-thousand-year-old herb was already among the rarest of treasures. But a hundred-thousand-year-old herb? That was on an entirely different level—it was practically a divine artifact.

With this in mind, Su Yu couldn't help but glance in the direction of the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

Previously, he had only taken a single branch and a petal. There was still plenty left.

Could he use it to cultivate another Ultimate Fire Soul Master?

Su Yu wasn't sure. But it was worth trying.

After all, the Infernal Delicate Apricot was already marked for death—it was destined to become one of his Soul Rings sooner or later.

Might as well make full use of it.

Yes, next time, I'll send that Infernal Delicate Apricot to the afterlife.

Su Yu thought to himself.

Unbeknownst to him, the Infernal Delicate Apricot, currently licking its wounds, suddenly felt an eerie chill.

A deep sense of impending doom washed over it.

It instinctively turned its gaze toward Su Yu.

Was he planning to kill it?

But right now, Su Yu was just talking with Ma Xiaotao, showing no suspicious behavior.

The Infernal Delicate Apricot was confused.

...Had it just imagined it?
