Douluo Dalu 3: Legend of the White Fox

What is the Ice God's Heart? It is the core material used to create the Godslayer Fixed Soul Guided Shell.

A Godslayer Fixed Soul Guided Shell—something so terrifying that even the Federal Government, after pouring all the resources of the entire continent into it, had only managed to produce three.

Yet, Xia Yi actually swallowed such a terrifying Ice God's Heart in one gulp.

"Stop! Do you want to die?!" Leng Yaozhu's face turned pale with fright. She immediately placed her hand on Xia Yi's shoulder, unleashing a terrifying burst of soul power from her palm, protecting every organ in his body.

The same situation that had occurred when he absorbed Gu Yue's blood happened again. After swallowing the Ice God's Heart, Xia Yi's entire body instantly turned ice-blue.

Even with Leng Yaozhu exerting all her strength to suppress it, the ice-blue radiance still seeped out through his pores, casting an eerie glow over his skin.

Leng Yaozhu was horrified—the ice-blue light filled her with dread.

The terrifying cold was so extreme that it even disrupted the soul power circulation of her fire-attributed Ultimate Douluo abilities.

She was certain that this was the true power hidden within the Ice God's Heart.

With such power erupting inside Xia Yi's body, she didn't even need to think to know what his outcome would be.

At that moment, Leng Yaozhu was overwhelmed with regret. How could she have just handed the Ice God's Heart over to Xia Yi so casually?

Now, how was she supposed to explain this to her sister?

Without hesitation, Leng Yaozhu activated her four-word battle armor, her radiant armor emerging. She desperately poured her soul power into Xia Yi's body, disregarding everything else.

Even though she knew Xia Yi was as good as dead, she still exerted every ounce of her strength to try and save him.

If she didn't give it her all and just watched Xia Yi die before her eyes, she would never forgive herself.

Just as Leng Yaozhu was convinced Xia Yi was doomed, a faint green light suddenly flickered across his body, directly repelling her soul power.

In the next instant, all of Xia Yi's pores shut tight, and the ice-blue light stopped leaking out.

"Damn Heart of the Ice God." At this moment, Xia Yi was cursing internally.

He had always felt an urge to swallow the Ice God's Heart.

But after hearing about its terrifying nature, he had abandoned that thought.

No matter how reckless he was, he wouldn't dare to swallow such a terrifying thing directly into his body.

His original plan was just to study the Ice God's Heart carefully before considering using it to evolve his martial soul.

However, the moment he brought the Ice God's Heart close to his face, it manipulated his hand, forcing him to swallow it.

As the terrifying cold erupted within him, Xia Yi instantly felt every cell in his body being wrapped in ice.

Unlike when he absorbed Gu Yue's blood and fell into unconsciousness, this time, Xia Yi remained completely awake.

But every single one of his cells was frozen—he couldn't move at all.

"No… This cold may have frozen my body, but it hasn't damaged my organs. It's trying to control me through the cold—it's a disguised form of possession!" At this point, if Xia Yi still didn't realize that the Ice God's Heart had consciousness, he wouldn't be Xia Yi.

"Boom!" A thunderous roar erupted from within Xia Yi's body, as if coming from the heavens. In the next moment, a green light burst forth, instantly flooding every inch of his being.

The ice-blue radiance that had even made Leng Yaozhu wary vanished the moment it touched the green light, dissipating completely and transforming into pure energy that merged into Xia Yi's body.

Under this power, Xia Yi involuntarily entered his Martial Soul Possession state.

"I…" Leng Yaozhu gritted her teeth. Her heart had nearly jumped out of her chest just now.

Yet, Xia Yi was completely fine.

Not only that—his martial soul had actually evolved.

In his Martial Soul Possession state, Xia Yi now had a third tail slowly forming alongside the two he had previously gained.

"What an idiot I am… With your personality, how could you possibly do something suicidal? If you weren't absolutely certain, you wouldn't have swallowed the Heart of the Ice God." Leng Yaozhu felt like she had been foolish for worrying about Xia Yi.

"Forget it… I should focus on repaying the debt first." She sighed helplessly.

The Ice God's Heart was gone.

Now, the 5.5 billion auction payment had to be paid in full.

Luckily, the other attendees of the auction had sensed through their spiritual power that Xia Yi had swallowed the Ice God's Heart.

This meant the Federal Government wouldn't suspect the Spirit Pagoda.

Taking a deep breath, Leng Yaozhu waved her delicate hand and took Xia Yi back to the Spirit Pagoda.

Back at the Spirit Pagoda, Leng Yaozhu immediately began sorting through her valuables.

"These were meant for Gu Yue's breakthrough to Soul Sage… and these rare metals were for forging her battle armor… Forget it. I'll sell them. I can always buy them again later." She looked at the gathered items with great reluctance.

She held high hopes for Gu Yue. Even though she was only at the two-ring level now, Leng Yaozhu was already making preparations for her future breakthroughs and battle armor.

But now, she had no choice but to repay the debt to Shrek's auction house first.

—

Meanwhile, Xia Yi's third tail had fully formed, but he remained seated in meditation.

Inside his body, the green light had completely disappeared.

As for the Heart Of the Ice God, it was still within him, but not in his stomach. Instead, it had entered his spiritual world.

Compared to before, the Heart had shrunk by more than half.

It no longer emitted any trace of ice-elemental power.

From the outside, it now looked just like a simple ice-blue glass bead.

It had completely sealed away its power, silently floating in Xia Yi's spiritual world, not daring to release even a hint of energy.

Xia Yi could feel its fear.

It no longer dared to provoke him.

Or rather, it didn't dare to provoke that green light from before.

Just now, half of its power had been forcibly extracted by that green light.

It was only when Xia Yi's third tail fully formed that the green light finally vanished.

Had the evolution not been completed, the Ice God's Heart would have been completely drained.

The moment the green light disappeared, the Ice God's Heart fled to Xia Yi's spiritual world.

To it, Xia Yi was dangerous.

But staying inside him was its only option.

Before, it had the power to protect itself. If it didn't want to be used, not even an Ultimate Douluo could extract its power.

But now, half of its strength was gone, leaving it defenseless. If it fell into human hands again, it would undoubtedly be turned into a fixed soul guided shell.

At that point, it would never have the chance to rise again.

"So, after failing to possess me, it's now clinging to me instead?" Xia Yi's expression darkened.

The Heart was clearly conscious.

It was, in essence, a powerful being.

Although it feared the green light and dared not harm him for now, having such a ticking time bomb in his spiritual world was hardly reassuring.

Yet, he had no way to deal with it. Even after losing half its power, the Heart was still far beyond his current ability to resist.

"I'll have to make you pay rent in the future," Xia Yi muttered through gritted teeth.

More than the Ice God's Heart, what he wanted to know most was the truth behind that voice and the green light.

Bi Ji had told him that when he absorbed Gu Yue's blood, the green light had also appeared.

A few months ago, outside Heaven dou City, Zi Ji had said the green light was what had pulled Leng Yulai into his body.

"This power comes from within me… It must be connected to my lost memories. If I can recover them, I'll surely learn what that green light truly is," Xia Yi said in a deep voice.
