Douluo: Because he was afraid of dying, he maxed out his defense.

Chapter 36 Chen Yu's Soul Ring Plan

Inside the cave, upon Chen Yu's return, Tie Xi and Er Gou immediately froze most of the cave entrance and then hurried towards the tribe.

Inside the cave, Xiangcai, Shi Hu, and the others immediately approached Chen Yu.

"Chen Yu, what kind of soul skill did you acquire?"

Shi Hu still cares about Chen Yu as always.

"Haha, that's an incredibly powerful soul skill."

Chen Yu didn't hide anything and told Shi Hu, his future teammate whom he favored.

Of course, there were also some Soul Masters like Chen Yu in the cave.

He's only a teenager, meaning he's at the level of a dozen or so.

However, as long as one is a Soul Master, they can cooperate with Chen Yu to protect the people in the cave.

Therefore, Chen Yu explained the effects of his soul skill.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Hu clenched his fists.

Shi Hu was always competitive and was thinking about when he could defeat Chen Yu.

But now he feels like he can't catch up with Chen Yu.

The first spirit ring in a millennium, plus two martial spirits...

"Chen Yu, what level are you now?"

Cilantro asked curiously.

"Yeah, I'm already level 14 and a half."

Chen Yu still did not hide anything.

If most of the soul power of his thousand-year soul ring hadn't been absorbed by the Ice Spirit Serpent and used to strengthen its body, he would probably be level fifteen by now.

After all, it's a thousand-year soul ring.

However, given his innate full soul power cultivation speed, coupled with the simulated cultivation environment here that is naturally suitable for ice attribute soul masters, Chen Yu felt that he could reach level 20 when he was five years old.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Upon hearing Chen Yu's words, Xiangcai's face lit up with joy, while Shi Hu's expression became even more complicated.

"Damn it, Chen Yu, I will definitely surpass you."

Shi Hu gritted his teeth, but he still did not admit defeat and chose to continue challenging Chen Yu.

Chen Yu also admired Shi Hu's hardworking and indomitable character.

"Okay, good luck then."

Chen Yu encouraged Shi Hu.

Inside the cave, there was no entertainment, only eating, drinking, relieving oneself, and sleeping. Chen Yu could only continue cultivating, and then summoned the Ice Spirit Serpent to try and get it to cultivate as well.

After consuming the leader of the Thousand-Year Ice Armor Beasts, the Ice Spirit Serpent grew even larger, now reaching over ten meters in length.

By forming a circle and curling up, they could perfectly protect Chen Yu.

Feeling safe from the Ice Spirit Serpent, Chen Yu began to plan for his future soul skills.

First, there's absolute defense. We already have an ice-attribute shield, so perhaps we could add a strong control-type defensive soul skill that can also block projectiles.

Hmm, Shui Bing'er's Ice Resistance Ring is pretty good!

However, it would be even better if his Ice Resistance Ring had offensive capabilities and could be imbued with icy energy to freeze enemies.

Then there's gluttony. The Ice Spirit Serpent can grow by eating the flesh of Soul Beasts. If the Ice Spirit Serpent possessed the power of devouring, that would be even better.

When faced with enemy attacks, it devours them all; for those it cannot devour, it withstands them with its defenses.

It can also devour the flesh of some soul beasts to develop its own abilities.

For example, a powerful physique, strength, speed, or even the bloodline of the Ice God...

Next is the summoning style. The Ice Spirit Serpent cannot summon other soul beasts. The Ice Spirit Serpent has the ability to summon other soul beasts, so the summoning style is actually just creating clones!

However, Chen Yu didn't care about ordinary clones.

As a defensive-type Soul Master, he knew that as long as the defense couldn't be broken, no amount of attack would be effective.

Therefore, the only option is to choose a high-quality clone.

Mirror Beast?

Was Oscar's Mirror Beast around at this time?

"I don't think so," Chen Yu shook his head.

However, the best thing about this era is that there are countless spirit beasts of all kinds, and they are far from being extinct.

There might be even stronger Mirror Beasts.

Next are area-of-effect abilities, which are the ability to create ice over a large area.

This, combined with the Ice Serpent's superb defense, can maximize the depletion of the opponent's soul power and body temperature.

Ideally, this ability can also directly alter the terrain.

If he transforms the surrounding environment into a frozen wasteland, and Chen Yu truly obtains the Ice Explosion Soul Skill, then he will be truly invincible.

Finally, there's the ability to regenerate health and various types of immunity.

Chen Yu wasn't interested in various forms of immunity.

Because some abilities might not be able to attack Chen Yu.

Chen Yu is currently more worried about the absolute attack of space-type soul skills.

Therefore, "healing" should be changed to "regeneration".

Hmm, Orochimaru's Skin-Shedding Substitution Technique?

Or perhaps it's the salamander's ability to regenerate severed limbs.

However, these abilities are not foolproof; they only grant the Ice Serpent powerful regenerative abilities, ensuring its combat strength remains at its peak.

Chen Yu himself remains a fragile Soul Master.

Chen Yu had no intention of cosplaying as 2.5-point Wu.

Therefore, when considering soul skills that enable regeneration, he must take into account his own regeneration ability.

Then there's only one possibility: a soul bone.

The Ice Serpent needs to regenerate, and so does Chen Yu.

Soul bones are something that only 100,000-year-old soul beasts are guaranteed to drop.

Therefore, for this kind of regenerative soul skill, he must consider soul beasts that are 100,000 years old.

These are the main defensive soul skills, but Chen Yu can't completely become a defensive battle soul master.

He has two martial souls, and he can also possess a soul bone.

Moreover, strong defense is not as good as evasion!

Teleportation! Invincible Golden Body! Void!

Chen Yu thought of Xiao Wu's abilities.

Unfortunately, Xiao Wu at this time was not a 100,000-year-old soul beast, so she could not unleash so many abilities, and she might not be able to obtain a soul bone.

Even Xiao Wu's mother won't do it!

Xiao Wu's mother is a humanoid, and a 100,000-year-old soul beast can only choose to transform within 1,000 years after breaking through 100,000 years.

Otherwise, they won't let you transform.

Even the Snow Empress's attempt to escape the 700,000-year-old tribulation by transforming into human form failed.

Not to mention other spirit beasts.

So Xiao Wu's mother wasn't a 100,000-year-old soul beast at this time.

In that case, he can only consider contacting Xiaowu's father.

Considering that Bibi Dong obtained Xiao Wu's mother's soul ring and soul bone, but did not have soul skills such as Invincible Golden Body, Teleportation, and Void,

This suggests that Xiao Wu's abilities were likely inherited from her father.

So if Xiao Wu's father was already a 100,000-year-old soul beast at this time, then he could consider it.

Otherwise, he should consider other soul beasts with spatial talents.

Perhaps it's possible that he could consider elementalization!

Chen Yu suddenly thought of another powerful expert who used ice.

Admiral Aokiji!

The ability to transform into elements is clearly more suitable for him.

It can also be combined with other abilities to create a synergistic effect.

As for the Invincible Golden Body and other soul skills, they are space-type soul skills, which are completely unrelated to Chen Yu's ice attribute, so they definitely won't work.

So what kind of soul beast can he transform into an elemental?

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow. It seemed that only the Snow Empress had this talent!

The Snow Emperor is the embodiment of ice and snow, so it's quite normal for him to embody ice and snow.

Moreover, the Snow Emperor is unable to survive the 700,000-year Heavenly Tribulation. Perhaps he could devise a plan to trick the Snow Emperor into offering herself to him.

Chen Yu's lips unconsciously curled up. Besides the Snow Emperor, there was also the Ice Emperor.

The Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor also share a domain-based soul skill.

It perfectly matches Chen Yu's Soul Ring Plan.
