Douluo Continent: Contract with Gu Yuena, Start by Slaying Tang Shenwang

"It should be, but finding it is easier said than done."

Xue Di said, "Since you've given me three years to take the assessment, the difficulty is unimaginable."

"Do as I say."

Bai Xuan sat down cross-legged and addressed the Snow Emperor.

Xue Di sat opposite Bai Xuan, somewhat confused, and followed suit by extending her hand.

Bai Xuan touched Xue Di's hand, and his soul power began to flow into her body.

Xue Di struggled to control her instinctive aversion to the foreign power, allowing it to do as it pleased.

"Such powerful soul energy."

Xue Di was surprised. Bai Xuan's cultivation level was only around level sixty, but his soul power clearly exceeded that level.

He gave her the feeling of being like an abyss, an unfathomable depth.

Bai Xuan used his own soul power to drive the Snow Empress's soul power, while simultaneously transmitting the incantation to her.

"Sense carefully. Since you have made a preliminary connection with the Ice Palace, you yourself are a clue to finding the spirit of the Ice Palace."

Bai Xuan's voice entered Xue Di's mind, making her even more focused.

Time passed slowly.

Under Bai Xuan's guidance, Xue Di felt that the area she could perceive was constantly expanding and becoming clearer.

Not only can we see the surface, but we can also perceive things that are difficult to see with the naked eye.

Ten hours passed quickly.

For the past ten hours, Xue Di had been searching. She felt she was getting close, very close indeed.

At one moment, a phantom ice spirit appeared in the Snow Empress's mind, causing her to open her eyes in surprise.

"Found it!"

Bai Xuan also opened his eyes, remaining relatively calm.

"You're really amazing."

Xue Di praised from the bottom of her heart, saying that this method had truly opened her eyes.

Bai Xuan stood up: "Let's go."

He gestured to Xue Di to fly over with him, saying it would be faster that way.

He can fly on his own, but he's rather slow.

We need to get there as quickly as possible, otherwise the ice spirit might move, and we might have to spend more time searching for it.

Xue Di blushed slightly, intimately wrapped her arms around Bai Xuan's waist, and flew close together with him.

Holding hands directly might feel pulling and make him uncomfortable.

Bai Xuan had done her such a big favor, so naturally she needed to consider his feelings more.

This made Bai Xuan frown slightly; being so close made him feel a little uncomfortable.

However, they didn't say anything; it was just some physical contact, nothing to worry about.

The two flew for a long time before arriving at a place that looked quite ordinary.

That's the place shown in the picture.

Both of their gazes fell on the snow.

"Ice Spirit, we've found you. Stop hiding and come out."

Xue Di said with certainty that she had not actually seen Bing Ling yet.

There was no response, only the sound of the cold wind blowing.

"Attack there."

Bai Xuan pointed to a spot.

"it is good."

Snow Empress immediately complied, unleashing her Emperor Palm technique and launching a wide-area attack.

boom--

As the emperor's palm struck, the ground caved in, revealing a clearly visible giant handprint.

After the attack subsided, the ice and snow on the ground began to swirl and quickly condensed into a semi-illusory ice spirit. It was not humanoid, but rather appeared to be a snow and ice feather garment made of air.

From a distance, it looks like someone is wearing it, but it's just an illusion and transparent.

"I didn't expect you to pass the trial of courage and find me so quickly. Not bad."

Ice Spirit transmitted a mental fluctuation, carrying praise.

"This is all thanks to my friend. If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't have been able to pass the Trial of Courage so quickly."

Xue Di spoke truthfully, her gaze towards Bai Xuan now filled with more admiration.

The other party seems to be truly omnipotent.

Bingling looked at Bai Xuan with some surprise. He had no eyes, yet they seemed to have eyes. His scrutinizing gaze would have made most people feel uncomfortable.

But Bai Xuan stood calmly in mid-air, meeting its gaze.

"It does look extraordinary," Bingling commented highly.

He couldn't quite figure this person out.

His gaze returned to Xue Di: "Now that you have found me, you can begin the third stage of the trial. This mainly tests the strength of you and your companion."

"I will create mirror images of you and your fellow test-taker, each 50% stronger than your original strength. If you can defeat them, you will pass the test."

"You have three chances in total. If you fail all of them, then this sixth test will be a complete failure, and you will not be able to gain my approval."

"This is truly a test of combat strength."

Xue Di was not surprised by this and inquired about it in detail.

They were told that the replicated image had similar combat abilities to them, but its mental capacity was weaker, and it was impossible to completely replicate it.

"Their mindset is poor, but their hard skills are a solid 50% difference, which makes them difficult to deal with."

Xue Di looked at Bai Xuan and asked him if he wanted to experience the other party's strength now.

Bai Xuan nodded, and at the same time secretly transmitted his voice to Xue Di, explaining the tactics.

Xue Di nodded imperceptibly.

Bingling transformed into a mirror, reflecting the images of Bai Xuan and Xue Di.

Both of them could clearly feel themselves being enveloped by energy, experiencing a sensation that was hard to describe.

The replication of Xue Di went smoothly, but the replication of Bai Xuan encountered a series of problems, as his abilities were somewhat difficult to replicate.

"Why are your abilities so strange?"

The mirror reflected Bingling's puzzled emotions, which she found very strange.

"Everyone has their own unique characteristics, so it's normal that your special abilities are hard to replicate."

Bai Xuan offered a casual explanation.

Bingling also agreed with this explanation and painstakingly created another Bai Xuan.

The mirror images of Xue Di and Bai Xuan are highly similar to the originals, the only difference being that the replicas are whiter.

Of course, the difference in strength is quite obvious; the mirror image of Xue Di and Bai Xuan has a much stronger aura than the real Xue Di.

The mirror image of the Snow Empress is so similar to the real Snow Empress that one might mistake the mirror image for the real Snow Empress without careful observation.

Mirror image Bai Xuan, on the other hand, was much more stunned.

Bingling herself also felt strange. Logically speaking, since Bai Xuan's cultivation level was lower, the copy should be closer to the original.

But why is it that the mirror image consciousness that is copied is so different from the original, like a fool?

Their eyes met, and without anyone needing to say "start," the four of them moved almost simultaneously.

The Snow Empress rushed over to fight the mirror image of the Snow Empress, but suffered a great loss in the first exchange. The opponent's strength was clearly superior to hers, and she was also familiar with her methods, so she was bound to suffer a loss.

Bai Xuan, on the other hand, knocked back the mirror image of Bai Xuan with a single palm strike, gaining the upper hand.

Their methods were similar, but Bai Xuan used them more skillfully and profoundly, which is why he was able to defeat the mirror image Bai Xuan, whose strength was 50% greater than his, with a single palm strike.

"Dragon-Slaying Blade!"

The mirror image of Bai Xuan's first spirit ring lit up, completely copying Bai Xuan's spirit skills.

A golden battle blade appeared in his hand, and he slashed at Bai Xuan.

The power of this strike far surpasses that of a Soul Emperor, and is almost equivalent to the power of a Soul Douluo's sixth Soul Skill.
