Chapter 137: In the Far North, I Met Shui Bing'er
This is easy to understand. Just like in the original work, Oscar's fourth soul ring was absorbed from the Pink Queen, but the resulting Stimulating Pink Sausage filtered out the Pink Queen's toxicity, meaning it did not inherit the Soul Beast's toxicity.
This is the change that occurs when a Soul Beast's soul ring combines with a Soul Master's Martial Soul.
Sure enough, after a short while, sensing the aura of the Blue Silver Emperor, a light blue figure appeared in the Blue Silver Grass area on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest and discovered the Blue Silver Emperor's seed.
"My Emperor, thankfully, you are still alive. I will take you back to the Ancestral Land now." The Blue Silver King carefully picked up Ah Yin's seed and warmed it with his own Qi.
The Blue Silver Ancestral Land has the purest Blue Silver energy and is the most suitable place for Blue Silver Grass to grow.
As long as it receives feedback from the Blue Silver Ancestral Land's energy, this seed will soon take root and sprout.
After Hu Bai and the others completed this series of tasks, they immediately embarked on their journey to the Extreme North.
Their destination this time was the Ice God Valley, located in the core area of the Extreme North, rumored to be where the Ice God fell.
The core area of the Extreme North is like a mysterious and dangerous kingdom of Soul Beasts, inhabited by numerous extraordinarily powerful ice-attributed Soul Beasts.
Among them, the number of Hundred-thousand Year Soul Beasts is quite considerable, and there are even several Fierce Beasts hidden within.
In terms of strength, the Ten-thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Extreme North surpass those in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The reason for this is that the environment in the Extreme North is extremely harsh, with ice and snow, biting winds, and extremely difficult living conditions.
Soul Beasts that grow up in such harsh environments, having endured countless hardships, naturally possess terrifying strength that makes people tremble.
After continuous travel, Hu Bai and his group finally arrived at a small tavern on the outskirts of the Extreme North.
"Welcome, esteemed guests. What would you like to eat?" A waiter, seeing the four individuals dressed in extraordinary attire, assumed they were of distinguished origin and noble status, so he was very enthusiastic.
As he spoke, he also looked at Yue Guan, guessing that this group had come to the Extreme North probably to help the child beside him obtain a soul ring.
But Yue Guan did not speak; it was the child beside him who spoke: "Do you have any specialty dishes here?"
It was a child who spoke, which surprised the waiter. It seemed that this child's status was the highest!
Having been a waiter for so many years, he still had that much discernment.
Then, he smiled and said: "Yes, we do. Our restaurant has many dishes made from local Soul Beast meat. Eating them can warm the body and speed up blood circulation, which means they provide a certain degree of cold resistance.
I observe that the esteemed guests' strength should be extraordinary. The dishes I recommend are not only effective but also taste excellent, though the price is a bit high."
Upon hearing this, Hu Bai swallowed and said, "Then bring a few of the dishes you mentioned."
Hu Bai's life creed has three points: diligently cultivate, be with the people he loves, and eat delicious food.
Especially local specialty foods.
Just as the four of them sat down, Hu Bai suddenly noticed a small girl at the table next to them, with light blue short hair, like a porcelain doll. Beside her were three women, all dressed in matching light blue attire.
And just as Hu Bai was looking at them, the little girl seemed to sense it too. Their eyes met, and the little girl turned her head away like a startled deer.
Her face was slightly flushed, making her look very cute, but after a while, she couldn't help but turn back, secretly peeking at Hu Bai.
"Xiao Bai, these are Sky Water Academy uniforms. They are probably also here in the Extreme North to obtain soul rings," Yue Guan whispered.
Sky Water Academy only accepts female students, and only those with water-attribute Martial Souls.
The water attribute here is broad, not just referring to water in the narrow sense.
Liquid water, gaseous water, solid water— as long as the Martial Soul is related to water, they accept them.
"What's wrong?" Gui Mei asked.
Hu Bai shook his head: "Nothing, I just sensed a slight restless aura on this little girl. I suppose the Martial Soul she awakened must be very powerful, and she herself has some trouble controlling it."
Hu Bai had already guessed that if he wasn't mistaken, the little girl in front of him should be Shui Bing'er, Sky Water Academy's most outstanding genius in recent years.
Her Martial Soul is Condensed Water Flying Phoenix, which is an Ice Phoenix!
In the original work, she was the leader of the Sky Water girl group. Her age was not the oldest, but her strength was the strongest, which is why she had that title.
Like Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix, this Ice Phoenix also caused Shui Bing'er quite a bit of trouble in the early stages, initially limiting her to a control-type Soul Master, rather than an attack-type.
Hu Bai thought to himself, if such a genius could be recruited into Spirit Hall, that would be great. And with her ice-attribute talent, his Fifth Grandfather (Guang Ling) should be quite interested.
Even his Third Grandfather (Qingluan) should be interested.
The Qingluan Divine Bird is also a Phoenix. He, like Shui Bing'er, possesses a Phoenix Martial Soul, so he would certainly feel a hint of interest in her.
"Bing'er, what are you looking at?" the woman beside her asked curiously. She was Shui Bing'er's mother and the dean of Sky Water Academy, Shui Miaomiao.
Water Bing'er shook her head: "Nothing, I just feel that there's a very peculiar aura about that person. The icy power within my body seems to have been suppressed quite a bit."
Hearing this, Shui Miaomiao was also slightly stunned. Could someone make even the supreme Martial Soul, Ice Phoenix, settle down?
Shui Miaomiao also subtly glanced to the side, her gaze falling on Hu Bai, but she was quickly drawn to Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
She felt that these two seemed a little familiar.
A moment later.
Holy cow!
Aren't these two Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo from Spirit Hall? And it's rumored that their cultivation has already broken through to Super Douluo, making them the two newly appointed revered elders.
Since these two are here, that means this person should be the Holy Son, Your Highness, who has been very famous in Spirit Hall these past few years!
Thinking about it, the Holy Son's inauguration ceremony had already concluded, and because she needed to accompany her daughter to obtain her second soul ring, it was the vice-dean of the academy who went to Spirit City to attend the ceremony.
Because she did not attend the ceremony, she currently did not know about the matters announced by Spirit Hall during that event. She did not know that Spirit Hall had declared the establishment of a nation, nor that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which had always supported the Heaven Dou Empire, had openly announced its allegiance to Spirit Hall, becoming an affiliate.
The vice-dean of Sky Water Academy dared not make decisions on her own and was anxiously waiting for her to return and make a decision: whether to join Spirit Hall or maintain a stance aligned with the Heaven Dou Empire.
