Douluo Dalu 2: The True God King - [DD2]: 65 

On the severed arm, a conspicuous bracelet gleamed.

It turned out that the Ice Empress had remembered Su Yu’s words and immediately tore off the rank-9 soul engineer’s arm.

Su Yu’s eyes lit up, and in a flash, he rushed forward. Several level-6 thrusters activated at once, generating such terrifying propulsion that even a level-6 soul engineer would struggle to endure it. But Su Yu, with his monstrous physique, easily withstood the immense pressure.

In just a few seconds, before the arm even hit the ground, Su Yu had already grabbed it. He swiftly removed the bracelet from the arm, then casually tossed the limb aside.

At the same time, with a thought, Su Yu pulled out a wooden tray from the bracelet. On the tray was a mass of white mist, shielded by a faint golden barrier.

One look was all Su Yu needed to confirm: this was undoubtedly the Snow Empress’s embryo.

“Found it!”

Su Yu exclaimed in delight, just as a cold voice from the system echoed in his mind.

[Ding, random check-in task complete. The reward has been issued…]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining one Basic Character Card.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Heaven Repairing Stone, White Dew.]

[Basic Character Card: Upon using this card, randomly summon any non-divine character from any world, not limited to the Douluo Continent. Once summoned, the character’s power will manifest according to the current world’s system.]

[White Dew: From the Wind and Cloud universe, one of the four remaining mystical stones left by the goddess Nuwa after repairing the heavens. It possesses powerful ice attributes and is an extraordinary material for crafting weapons.]

The system’s voice filled Su Yu’s mind, clarifying the rewards for the task.

“Basic Character Card and White Dew—both are excellent items!”

Su Yu stroked his chin.

It was uncertain who the Basic Character Card would summon.

“Non-divine, huh?”

In any case, the upper limit wouldn’t exceed the divine level. Even if it summoned a Super Douluo, Su Yu would be satisfied. Of course, if it ended up being someone stronger, that would be ideal. But that depended on luck.

Still, Su Yu was confident. With his luck, things probably wouldn’t go too badly.

As for White Dew…

That was one of the Heaven Repairing Stones! And it had ice attributes. Keeping it for crafting a weapon in the future would be a great option. Plus, this wasn’t just any ordinary item—it was something left behind by the great goddess Nuwa. In the Wind and Cloud universe, the Snow Drinking Mad Blade owned by Nie Feng was forged using White Dew, and its power was extraordinary.

“Looks like this trip wasn’t a waste after all.”

Su Yu smiled faintly and mentally signaled the system, “System, claim the rewards.”

As soon as he spoke, Su Yu felt two new items appear within his Black Dragon Ring.

[Ding, the host has an unused Basic Character Card. Would you like to use it?]

The system’s cold voice sounded again.

“Use it!”

Su Yu replied inwardly.

[Ding, the Basic Character Card has been used. Random character selection in progress…]

[Ding, selection complete. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the character Hai Bodong.]

[Hai Bodong’s identity has been arranged. His role: High Priest of the Ice God Temple.]

“Whoa!”

Su Yu couldn’t help but blurt out.

Who? Did you just say Hai Bodong? Hai Bodong? The Ice Emperor, Hai Bodong?

Su Yu was completely stunned. He never expected to draw Hai Bodong.

Speaking of Hai Bodong, who hasn’t heard of him? On the Dou Qi Continent, he’s a legend. Who could meet Brother Dong and not offer him a cigarette?

“If the heavens hadn’t birthed me, Hai Bodong, the Dou Qi world would be forever shrouded in darkness.”

With his Heavenly Ice Dou Technique, even Hun Tiandi would have to take a beating!

The name of the Ice Emperor was terrifying!

Drawing Hai Bodong was beyond Su Yu’s expectations.

Pulling a character card in the Douluo Continent and ending up with someone from the Battle Through The Heavens world?

Who could make sense of that?

But after the initial shock came excitement.

Right now, Su Yu desperately needed top-tier fighting power. While Di Tian and the soul beasts were powerful, he wouldn’t disturb them unless necessary. Even with the use of the electric shock card, it was uncertain how long he could hold off Tang San.

Moreover, if other gods took an interest and decided to observe the Douluo Continent, that would be difficult to handle. To play it safe, it was best not to reveal his connection with the soul beasts too soon.

But because of this, the threats he faced in the human world were numerous. The pressure from Ultimate Douluos, in particular, made Su Yu uneasy.

While Mu Wu was strong, he was still not on par with a true Ultimate Douluo. When they had encountered Long Xiaoyao earlier, Mu Wu hadn’t even detected his presence, which proved this point well. The pressure Long Xiaoyao exerted on Su Yu was immense.

However, the arrival of Hai Bodong gave Su Yu newfound confidence.

Hai Bodong’s strength wouldn’t fall short of an Ultimate Douluo. The Ice Emperor’s title alone carried immense weight!

Do you understand the power of a Dou Emperor? Tactical lean-back.jpg.

Su Yu grinned widely, feeling immensely relieved. This character card draw was worth it!

His mood uplifted, Su Yu now found the endless white expanse of the snow-covered world before him to be quite pleasing to the eye.

“Ice Empress, the Snow Empress has been rescued. Finish the fight quickly!”

Su Yu waved the wooden tray in his hand. The Ice Empress glanced over and indeed saw the tray in Su Yu’s hand. Inside, the white mist was visible.

A faint smile flashed in the Ice Empress’s gemstone-like eyes, but it quickly vanished, replaced by an intense killing intent.

“Human scoundrel, die!”

The Ice Empress unleashed a terrifying aura, determined to utterly destroy the rank-9 soul engineer.

Already gravely injured, the soul engineer saw that the Ice Empress still wasn’t letting him go and was now aiming for his life. He snapped.

“You want to kill me?”

“Hahaha, then I’ll make you live with regret for the rest of your life!”

The rank-9 soul engineer laughed maniacally and suddenly charged at Su Yu with all his strength. He couldn’t defeat the Ice Empress, but could he not kill a mere child? Even if he died here today, he would make the Ice Empress regret it forever.

He didn’t understand why a soul beast like the Ice Empress would be so close to a human. But that didn’t matter. Since they were close, killing the human would be enough.

“Scoundrel, how dare you!”

The Ice Empress’s eyes flashed with fury, and she immediately gave chase. However, the rank-9 soul engineer was already going all out, even burning his soul power, determined to take Su Yu down with him. For a moment, the Ice Empress couldn’t catch up in time!

As the soul engineer charged toward him, almost upon him, Su Yu remained calm. A rank-9 soul engineer trying to take his life? How insulting! Did they think Su Yu wasn’t cautious enough?

Trying to take him down? Too early for that!

The space around him shifted, and before anyone realized it, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Su Yu.

Dressed in a blue robe, with snow-white hair cascading over his shoulders. Tall and powerfully built, with rugged features. Though he looked somewhat aged, he exuded the aura of a reclusive sage.

He stood there silently, like a towering mountain, awe-inspiring and unshakable.

Even the Ice Empress grew serious in an instant. From this figure emanated an unimaginable power. Even the Snow Empress had never made her feel such immense pressure.

The Ice Empress gazed at the figure in front of her, astonishment and uncertainty flickering in her eyes, unable to discern his origins.

The figure stood before Su Yu, casting a faint look of disdain toward the crazed, charging rank-9 soul engineer.

“Relying on external tools… truly pathetic.”

The figure snorted softly, then casually raised his hand and struck out with a palm.

In an instant, the world shifted dramatically.

Endless frigid air surged, causing the temperature to plummet.

The already freezing Extreme North became even more unbearable.

Even Su Yu couldn’t help but gasp at the cold.

Wow, this temperature is even lower than the Ice Empress’s.

A blinding white light erupted, obscuring the sky.

The entire region’s climate shifted, altered by the power of a single individual.

“Profound Ice Dragon Soars!”

With a soft command, countless streams of white mist rapidly condensed.

A massive ice dragon, hundreds of meters long, silently took form in midair.

The ice-blue dragon radiated an overwhelming aura, and the intense cold it emitted seemed to freeze the very space around it.

“Go!”

At another command, the ice dragon let out a thunderous roar, its draconic might shaking the heavens as it charged toward the rank-9 soul engineer.

At that moment, the pressure was immense, burdening the entire world.

The soul engineer’s heart was seized with terror. Frozen in place, he felt as insignificant as an ant, trembling uncontrollably in the face of the overwhelming power.

He tried to escape but realized it was futile. An invisible force held him in place. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn’t move an inch.

All he could do was helplessly watch as the ice dragon descended and swallowed him whole.

Boom!

The ice dragon slammed into the rank-9 soul engineer.

The several rank-9 soul tools on his body shattered instantly.

His entire body was obliterated, turning into a mist of blood, but even the blood mist froze immediately, crystallizing into tiny shards scattered across the ground.

After obliterating the soul engineer, the ice dragon soared into the sky, then exploded, tearing apart the sky that had been obscured by the endless mist.

For hundreds of miles, the sky cleared, revealing pristine blue with no cloud in sight.

The entire Extreme North trembled at this terrifying display of power.

Countless soul beasts raised their heads in fear and awe.

Su Yu took a sharp breath.

Is this guy really that powerful?

If this move were used on a city, it would be destroyed.

No wonder the Battle Through the Heavens mentioned Hai Bodong’s feat of freezing an entire city.

Judging by his casual demeanor, this wasn’t even full strength.

When Profound Ice Dragon Soars was unleashed at full power, it summoned not just one dragon, but five!

I’ve struck gold! Brother Dong is the real deal!

Su Yu was ecstatic. With Brother Dong at his side, what did he have to fear from Long Xiaoyao?

The system had even made Hai Bodong the High Priest of the Ice God Temple. Now, they had the clout of a mysterious superpower.

Without an Ultimate Douluo, they had no real confidence. But now, Su Yu had it.

“Too weak,” Hai Bodong muttered, folding his right hand behind his back indifferently.

These cultivators relying on external tools were too weak.

He hadn’t even tried, and the guy was already obliterated. Honestly, it was a bit boring.

“This world seems even weaker than I expected.”

Hai Bodong raised his hand and casually tore through space, causing silver spatial energy to spill out.

Was the world so fragile that he could easily rip through space?

He shook his head in disappointment. Although he had some knowledge of this world from the system, actually testing it out had left him unimpressed.

It is too weak.

The Ice Empress warily moved closer to Su Yu, her gaze never leaving Hai Bodong. His strength had truly shocked her.

Even the Snow Empress couldn’t match the power he had just displayed.

From just one glance, she could tell this human had the strength of at least an Ultimate Douluo.

Even at her peak, she wouldn’t stand a chance against him.

What made him even more fearsome was his mastery over Ultimate Ice, something she had thought was her domain.

How could there be another soul master with such terrifying control over Ultimate Ice?

Yet she had never heard of him before.

Hai Bodong, noticing the Ice Empress’s movements, didn’t pay her any mind.

Just a little scorpion.

“Su Yu, do you know this powerful figure?” the Ice Empress whispered, nudging Su Yu with her scorpion tail.

Hai Bodong was, without a doubt, the strongest soul master she had ever encountered, and his mastery of Ultimate Ice only deepened her curiosity.

How does Su Yu keep attracting such powerful people? First Di Tian, and now this…

“This is Senior Hai Bodong, the High Priest of the Ice God Temple of Ice God Palace, titled the Ice Emperor,” Su Yu explained with a smile.

“The Ice God Palace?”

“The one that worships the ancient Ice God?”

The Ice Empress paused to think. She had heard of the Ice God Palace, which wasn’t far from the Extreme North.

Even the soul beasts revered the Ice God.

“Yes. The Ice God Palace follows the teachings of the Ice God,” Su Yu confirmed with a smile.

Hai Bodong, standing nearby, remained calm and indifferent, not commenting.

Worship the Ice God?

What nonsense.

As if that so-called Ice God deserved it.

The true master of the Ice God Palace was not some deity, at least not in Hai Bodong’s eyes.

“So, he’s the High Priest of the Ice God Palace. No wonder he’s so powerful,” the Ice Empress said, nodding in understanding.

She had always taken pride in her mastery over ice and held a sincere reverence for the Ice God.

“And what about you? What’s your status in the Ice God Palace?” the Ice Empress asked curiously, convinced now that Su Yu had deep ties to the Ice God Palace.

Su Yu smiled mysteriously.

“Why don’t you guess?”

“I’m not guessing!”

The Ice Empress huffed, playfully swishing her scorpion tail and lightly swatting Su Yu.
