This level of strength was already terrifying on the Douluo Continent.

Even someone as strong as Mu Wu might not match Su Yu’s raw strength.

Lu Yuan’s Titan Snow Demon, despite its power, was no match for Su Yu.

Boom!

A white pillar of light shot upward as Lu Yuan, sent flying, powered up again.

“Good, good! Young Master, take another punch!”

Lu Yuan’s body was covered in white light, as if encased in ice, exuding a domineering aura.

Snow Demon Diamond Body.

Similar to the Titan’s Golden Body, this was a natural skill of the Titan Snow Demon clan.

Drawing on his bloodline, it was a powerful soul skill.

With this active, Lu Yuan was like a ferocious Titan Snow Demon, fearlessly charging at Su Yu.

Seeing the beast-like Lu Yuan, Su Yu’s expression didn’t change. With a golden light flashing, he shot forward.

Gold and white beams collided with a fierce aura.

No technique—just pure brute force.

The two exchanged blows from ground to sky, the commotion shaking the entire city of wind and snow.

“That’s…”

Wang Donger shielded her eyes, peering into the distance.

The golden figure in the sky looked very familiar.

Di Mingli’s ice-blue eyes flashed,

“It’s Su Yu! Looks like his trial has begun.”

They were all aware of Su Yu’s Ice God trial.

“A trial, huh…”

Wang Donger muttered, staring into the sky.

“You jerk, you better not lose!”

She pouted softly.

High in the sky, the two balls of light clashed madly.

The shockwaves shattered the surrounding space.

This was primal combat—the ultimate masculine beauty.

Lu Yuan, with his Snow Demon Diamond Body, was truly powerful.

Even Xuan Zi at his peak would be beaten by Lu Yuan.

If Du Busi didn’t risk his golden awakening, he couldn’t do anything to Lu Yuan.

Yet even so, Lu Yuan gradually fell behind in the clash with Su Yu.

Su Yu wasn’t even using his martial soul—just the Golden Body, and he dared to go head-to-head.

Lu Yuan’s challenge was exactly to Su Yu’s taste.

True fist-to-flesh battling.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The gold ball of light overwhelmingly suppressed the white one.

No matter how hard the white light fought back, it was crushed.

Like a monkey in Buddha’s palm, no escape.

Boom!

A blast sent the white light crashing to the ground, creating a huge pit.

Lu Yuan, in the pit, his clothes disheveled and face bruised, still looked exhilarated.

“Convinced?”

Su Yu hovered above,

“If not, we can fight again with Ice God skills. I’ll wait.”

Lu Yuan grinned, waving his hand,

“We agreed on strength. No need for Ice God skills.”

“Young Master, you win. I’m sincerely convinced.”

He patted his chest, wincing at the pain.

Su Yu’s expression softened, landing.

He appreciated Lu Yuan’s straightforwardness.

If Lu Yuan had truly fought to the death, it would have cost Su Yu dearly.

Ice God skills gave a huge power boost.

Su Yu wasn’t afraid, but too much effort now would make later fights harder.

Shui Lingguang and Mu Wu were much tougher opponents.

“Here—use this for your wounds!”

Su Yu tossed over a healing ointment.

Lu Yuan chuckled, scratching his head.

“Let’s go.”

Su Yu said to Xue Di, moving on.

Lu Yuan shouted after him,

“Young Master, Lingguang is no pushover! You’re not the only one with a divine weapon in the Ice God Palace!”

Su Yu paused, waved without looking back, and soon he and Xue Di arrived at the Ice Phoenix Hall.

The Ice Phoenix Hall—Shui Lingguang’s domain.

Outside, the Ice Phoenix Legion stood in formation. In the center, Shui Lingguang, dressed in palace attire, rested her hands gently on her abdomen.

Footsteps approached. Shui Lingguang smiled at the two as they came.

“Young Master, Mistress Xue!”

She bowed gracefully, her ice-blue dress stunningly beautiful.

Su Yu looked at her,

“Lingguang, how do you wish to fight?”

Defeating the Guardian was important, but so was the manner of victory.

This affected whether the Guardian would truly accept him.

Especially since Shui Lingguang was like his right-hand—he cared about her wishes.

Shui Lingguang smiled,

“My requirement is simple.”

“I want to test Mistress Xue’s strength.”

Su Yu frowned—have Xue Di fight?

Although Xue Di had broken through to Titled Douluo, she was far below Shui Lingguang.

Shui Lingguang was a peak level-98 Super Douluo. Xue Di was just an ordinary Titled Douluo.

Against others, Xue Di could use her ultimate ice advantage, but Shui Lingguang also had ultimate ice.

Xue Di had no chance of winning.

“What if I refuse?”

Shui Lingguang blinked,

“If you refuse, then I’ll listen to you, Young Master.”

She looked innocent as if everything was up to him.

Su Yu was about to speak, but Xue Di took his hand.

“Let me do it.”

She added,

“I believe the Four Guardians won’t use their full power against me, right?”

Shui Lingguang smiled approvingly,

“Of course.”

Xue Di smiled slightly, stepping forward.

She understood she couldn’t refuse this challenge.

It was about winning the Guardians’ recognition, not just Shui Lingguang’s, but the entire Ice God Palace’s—and the Ice God’s herself.

Among Su Yu’s many women, only Xue Di had truly joined the Ice God Palace and might be fully accepted.

She was a pure-blooded ice soul master, chosen by the Guardians—a status no others could match.

In Su Yu’s eyes, perhaps all were equal. But in the Guardians’ eyes, perhaps only Xue Di was the true mistress.

But to become the mistress was no easy feat.

This sixth trial so far had always tested Su Yu, but now, it tested her.

She could have Su Yu refuse Shui Lingguang, but that would mean she’d never win true recognition.

Xue Di’s pride would never allow that.

She would not shy away from this battle.

Su Yu saw Xue Di step forward alone, frowning.

He understood her thoughts, so he didn’t stop her.

Among his women, he might care more for one or two, but he tried to treat all he truly cared for equally.

Favoring one would breed resentment.

So there was no main wife among them—everyone was equal.

If they wanted to play at rankings privately, he wouldn’t interfere.

Just like now—he neither supported nor opposed Xue Di’s decision.

Overall, he respected her wishes.

“Fourth Guardians, please instruct me.”

Xue Di’s beautiful eyes were solemn as she instantly released her martial soul.

The stunning Ice Snow Maiden martial soul appeared behind her, its appearance identical to Xue Di.

Xue Di’s martial soul was her original self.

Six black, three red—the nine soul rings surrounded her.

With the support of the Ice God Palace’s treasury, plus full soul bone equipment, her cultivation had recovered rapidly.

Now, she had reached level-93 Titled Douluo.

Level-93, full soul bone set, ultimate ice attribute, high-level cultivation, and rich battle experience.

Frankly, Xue Di could now threaten even Super Douluo.

Even someone like Yan Shaozhe would struggle to defeat her.

An ultimate ice Titled Douluo was top-tier.

But her opponent was Shui Lingguang—same experience and attributes, but much higher soul power.

At Titled Douluo level, even one level was huge.

The gap between Shui Lingguang and Xue Di couldn’t be bridged by ordinary means.

“Mistress Xue, you’re eager.”

Shui Lingguang smiled,

“I won’t use any soul skills above my sixth ring.

If you can last twenty minutes, you pass.”

“Young Master, do you have any objections?”

Su Yu shrugged,

“As long as you’re happy.”

Limiting to the first six soul rings meant Shui Lingguang couldn’t use her martial soul avatar—a huge restriction.

But even so, it was still a tough test.
