Douluo 2: Lord of the Gods

"What about you?"

The Snow Queen looked at Su Yu and asked.

Su Yu spread his hands and said, "The first of the nine tests of the Ice God is to cross the long steps of the Ice God and cross the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps of the Ice God. The time limit is one year."

"Nine hundred and ninety-nine steps of the Ice God?"

The Snow Queen widened her eyes, wondering if she had heard it wrong.

"You heard it right, it's nine hundred and ninety-nine steps."

Su Yu sighed helplessly, "Women."

Hearing this test, even the corners of Su Yu's mouth twitched.

You haven't eaten pork, but you haven't seen pigs run.

Without thinking, Su Yu also knew that the higher you go on the long steps of the Ice God, the greater the pressure.

Maybe the pressure faced every ten steps is not at the same level.

What's more, he has to cross nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, which is three times that of the Snow Queen.

He dare not imagine how much more difficult the six hundred and sixty-six steps behind will be.

This Ice God is really a petty woman, who actually did this.

"Nine hundred and ninety-nine steps of the Ice God Ladder, Lord Ice God is a bit cruel."

Mu Wu smacked his lips, touched the bump on his head again, and shuddered.

Their Lord Ice God is really narrow-minded.

It's fine if he uses divine power to hit him, but he also treats the young master like this in the assessment.

Nine hundred and ninety-nine steps of the Ice God Ladder, under the full pressure, let alone others, even he can hardly guarantee that he can pass.

After all, this long step of the Ice God not only tests the body but also tests the mental strength.

He can imagine how much hardship the young master has to endure.

And, most importantly, this is only the first test.

What about the subsequent assessments?

Will it be more difficult?

Mu Wu secretly sweated for Su Yu in his heart. It's true that you can't offend women. This is too cruel.

"Nine hundred and ninety-nine steps of the Ice God Ladder, can this be completed?"

"Su Yu, why don't you apologize to Lord Ice God."

Xue Di said with some concern.

When she heard that Su Yu had three times as many tests as herself, even with the temperament of Xue Di, she couldn't keep calm at all.

"Apologize?"

"What the hell!"

"It's just the 999th level of the Ice God Ladder. It's just a trivial matter. I don't believe it can really stump me."

"As for the Ice God, the 10,000-year-old virgin, I will settle accounts with her sooner or later when I go to the God Realm."

Su Yu raised his head and said harshly.

Xue Di was helpless. Su Yu seemed to be quite obedient to her, but in fact, he was stubborn.

She was just a little arrogant on the surface, but this man was arrogant in his heart.

She couldn't change what Su Yu decided.

In the sky, a certain arrogant and petty baby was grinding his teeth hard.

10,000-year-old virgin?

Okay, okay, you dare to call me that, right?

You still want to go to the God Realm to settle accounts with me?

I'll wait for you.

Little bastard!

A certain arrogant god who didn't want to reveal his identity clenched the ice spear in his hand.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's leave first and try to climb the Ice God Stairs tomorrow."

Su Yu said lightly.

Xue Di nodded and had no objection to Su Yu's arrangement.

Looking at the dark blue spear body on the stone platform that had dimmed again, Su Yu turned and left.

...

...

The next day!

Early in the morning, after breakfast, Su Yu and Xue Di came to the island again.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking at the densely packed, ladder-like long Ice God Stairs in front of them, Su Yu and Xue Di's faces were eager to try.

"Xue'er!"

Su Yu and Xue Di looked at each other, stood up together, and walked towards the Ice God Stairs in front of them.

The Ice God Stairs were shrouded in a thick ice-blue light, and the slight ripples were like water waves.

Su Yu stepped onto the stairs, and a completely different feeling came over him.

If the first time I climbed the Ice God Stairs, the Ice God's light brought me freshness and comfort.

Then this time, when my feet landed, there was an invisible pressure that seemed to push me back.

Not only that, there was also a feeling similar to a needle prick, which went straight into my soul.

This was a double test from the body and soul.

Su Yu's eyes condensed, and he stepped onto the stairs completely.

In an instant, an invisible pressure pressed on Su Yu's body, as if it could penetrate everywhere.

Fortunately, the pressure was not strong. Su Yu endured this feeling and climbed the 100 steps in one breath.

Compared with Su Yu, Xue Di's performance was much more difficult.

After all, her body was not as strong as Su Yu's, and her speed was much slower.

When Su Yu reached the 100th step, she had just climbed to the 50th step.

"Xue'er, this is your first time climbing the Ice God Steps. Don't push yourself too hard. If you can't hold on, stop and don't get yourself hurt."

Standing on the 100th step, Su Yu acted as if nothing had happened, and still gave instructions to Xue Di very easily.

"I understand."

Xue Di nodded slightly, with a determined look in her beautiful eyes, and continued to climb.

Level 70.

Level 80.

Level 100.

When Xue Di climbed to Su Yu's side, she clearly felt the pressure.

The pressure, as if wrapped in water, was everywhere, and it was almost equally pressing every part of the body.

Even the soul power flowing in the body seemed to be suppressed, and it became much more obscure when it was running.

The Snow Emperor frowned slightly, but his beautiful eyes were shining brightly. He had obviously discovered the benefits of the Ice God's light.

"Su Yu, this ice god's light actually has the effect of tempering soul power?"

If you often practice under this kind of pressure, your soul power may be obscure at first, but as long as you keep running, your soul power will become more and more pure.

Although the soul power of Ultimate Ice is quite pure, the light of the Ice God still seems to have an effect.

I have to say, this is surprising.

"The test itself is also a process of improvement. It is not just a reward after completing the assessment. The assessment itself is a great help."

Su Yu said softly.

The important thing about the divine test is not only the reward, but also the divine test itself.

Sometimes, during the assessment process, there will be unimaginable gains.

"I see."

The Snow Emperor was thoughtful.

Su Yu patted Snow Emperor's shoulder and said:

"I'll go up first. You can do what you can. Sit down wherever you feel is suitable, and then practice."

"Don't be impatient and adapt slowly."

Giving Snow Emperor an encouraging look, Su Yu set sail again.

Su Yu's climbing speed was still very fast. After tempering his golden body with ice and fire, his physical strength was not inferior to that of an ordinary ninety-eighth level super Douluo.

The physical strength is even more terrifying.

He endured the huge pressure and climbed directly to the three hundred steps.

Standing on the three hundred steps, Su Yu's expression had become solemn.

He can still withstand the pressure here.

But the pain coming from the soul is quite annoying.

If the 100th step is like someone driving a steel nail through the palm of your hand, then the 300th step is like a bullet directly piercing your bones.

Su Yu frowned and still didn't stop.

Having experienced the Ice Emperor's reshaping, he could still endure the pain.

Level 400.

Level 450.

Level 500.

When he reached the 500th level, Su Yu's legs finally gave out and he sat down on the steps.

The pain at the 500th level and the 300th level are not on the same level at all.

If the 300th level is a bullet penetrating the bone, then the 500th level is the same as cutting off the leg with a hacksaw without anesthesia.

The so-called bone scraping to cure poison is probably nothing more than that.

Even Su Yu would find this level of pain unbearable.

What's more, on this Ice God Staircase, you have to endure the ubiquitous pressure all the time, as if you are in the deep sea.

The combination of the two is a great test for people's endurance.

"This is only level 500, and there are still 499 levels left."

Su Yu also twitched the corner of his mouth.

Level 500 is equivalent to scraping bones to cure poison. The rest of this won’t be similar to the 18th level of hell, right?

After enduring this kind of pain for a long time, will a person really not go crazy?

No wonder Mu Wu mysteriously said that he could improve his mental strength. If he could bear this kind of pain, could his mental strength not increase?

This is simply more cruel than self-mutilation.

"This old woman, Bing Shen, is really extreme."

Su Yu hesitated.

It's the same as climbing the stairs. The Poseidon will at most bring some pressure, while the Ice God will not only bring pressure, but also pain.

Only by enduring hardship can one become a master, right?

As long as you are willing to endure hardship, you can endure endless hardship.

Su Yu's eyes twitched and he continued climbing. He wanted to test his limits.

When Su Yu climbed to the 557th level, he really couldn't stand the pain anymore. He was slightly distracted, slipped under his feet, and was immediately ejected by the light of the ice god.

At this time, Su Yu was like a cannonball, shooting directly towards the foot of the mountain.

If he fell down hard this time, even if there was no danger, he would still be shaken into a daze.

The rebounding power of the Ice God's Light is no joke.

"Su Yu!"

Seeing this scene, Snow Emperor was startled and exclaimed.

Just when Su Yu was about to land at the foot of the mountain, a dragon roar sounded, and a plump figure hugged Su Yu.

Su Yu felt as if he had crashed into a ball of cotton, which was not as hard as he imagined.

He couldn't help but raise his head. A mature woman with ice crystal dragon horns on her head was looking at him, her face slightly flushed.

"It's Bingbing, thank you."

When Su Yu saw the figure, a smile appeared on his face.

The giant ice dragon Bing Bing landed on the ground and put Su Yu down.

"Young Master, just go through the border. Your subordinates will always be here."

Ice dragon Bingbing said.

"That would be troublesome for you."

Su Yu smiled, patted her shoulder, and walked toward the Ice God again.

This time, Su Yu climbed up at a relatively fast speed and reached the 500th step again.

Without continuing, Su Yu sat down cross-legged.

Relatively speaking, this is the best place for him at the moment.

He had to take some time to adjust to the excruciating pain while carrying the pressure.

Of course, it is also to temper the soul power and practice better.

Soon, a month passed.

Su Yu has moved from the original five hundred steps to the six hundred steps.

When I reached the 600th level, the pain increased to another level, as if I was going to have a cramp.

That kind of pain simply made Su Yu feel so good.

Simply speaking of the pressure he endured, even the 600th level would not be difficult for Su Yu. His body was very strong, but this kind of pain was really tormenting.

After climbing every day, Su Yu felt that his body was no longer his own.

The torture from the depths of his soul was really refreshing.

So much so that in the past month, Su Yu did not even have the desire to get close to Xue Di.

Because mentally, he could not bear anything else.

After each climb, Su Yu just wanted to sleep and did not want to do anything.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Su Yu opened his eyes.

It was already past four in the afternoon. Su Yu started practicing here at around eight in the morning, and it had been nearly eight hours.

People have their limits, and Su Yu has not yet reached the level of being inhuman.

He also felt that he could not bear it any longer.

"Let's stop here today."

Su Yu sighed, got up and walked down.

Soon Su Yu came to the side of Xue Di. Xue Di was now at the 170th level, which was a big improvement.

But Su Yu knew that this was nothing, because the further he went, the harder it would be.

When pressure and pain come at the same time, people will feel quite powerless.

After all, Xue Di is only a soul king now. Although she is the ultimate ice, her physique is still not outstanding.

Her pressure is actually not small.

"Xue'er, let's stop here and go down with me to rest."

Su Yu stretched out his right hand.

Xue Di opened her eyes, her beautiful ice-blue eyes were slightly dim, as if she had lost her spirit.

After eight hours of continuous torture, it is obvious that Xue Di is almost at her limit.

"Yeah."

Xue Di hummed lightly, stretched out her jade hand, and grabbed Su Yu's fingers.

Su Yu exerted a little force, pulled Xue Di up, and held her in his arms.

Then, he swept down the long steps of the Ice God at an extremely fast speed.

When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, all the pressure dissipated, and his body was obviously lighter.

The pressure suddenly changed, and Xue Di lost her balance and fell into Su Yu's arms.

Su Yu hurriedly supported her, but Su Yu himself was not much better.

Without that invisible pressure, a feeling of fatigue surged up from the depths of his soul.

Su Yu only felt that his mind seemed to be numb, chaotic, and he didn't want to think about anything at all.

He shook his head, took out a piece of nourishing spirit leaf from the soul guide, and stuffed it into the mouth of Xue Di beside him.

He also took out a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it casually for a few times, and a stream of fresh water surged into his mind, instantly feeling refreshed a lot, and the numbness disappeared a lot.

This nourishing spirit leaf was naturally obtained from the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire. In addition to the fairy products, some other herbs, Su Yu also brought out a lot.

After waiting for half a minute, when the medicinal effect of the nourishing spirit leaf dissipated, Su Yu and Xue Di were much more energetic.

"Xue'er, go back and take a bath first, and I'll take you to a place later."

Su Yu rubbed Xue Di's hair and said softly.

"Where?"

Xue Di asked doubtfully.

"You'll know when the time comes."

Su Yu said with a smile.

Xue Di blinked and didn't ask again.

The two returned to the palace together. Su Yu quickly finished his bath and sat on the ice jade bed with his eyes closed to rest.

After a while, Xue Di also finished her bath and came slowly in an ice-blue dress with lotus steps.
