Chapter 155: The Ice Emperor's Sacrifice, The Third Trial
Ning Bei was completely unaware of what was happening at the Royal Academy, and even if he knew, he wouldn't have cared.
After resting for a few days at the sect, Ning Bei directly arrived at the Ice God Hall.
He released the Dan Tower and summoned the Ice Emperor. As the little girl appeared, she paused for a moment, looking around. The atmosphere here made her feel extremely comfortable.
"Where is this?"
"The Ice God Hall. This is where I came after disappearing earlier."
The Ice Emperor nodded. Since this was a place created by the Ice God, she wasn't surprised, and she looked at Ning Bei seriously.
"Are you ready to accept my sacrifice?"
"Yes. I promised you that once I become a god, I will grant you freedom and eternal life."
The Ice Emperor nodded in agreement. Since the Snow Emperor didn't doubt this human, she was willing to trust him.
In Ning Bei's mind, Tianmeng's excited voice echoed, jumping with joy. From now on, it would finally have a companion and wouldn't have to face the cold Snow Emperor anymore.
Ning Bei put away the Dan Tower, took the protective pulse pill he had prepared earlier, and released the Snow Girl martial soul. He sat cross-legged in the center of the hall.
"Let's begin, Ice Emperor!"
The Ice Emperor nodded and transformed from a little green-haired girl into her true form, beginning to channel her entire soul power into Ning Bei.
A blinding red light rose in the Ice God Hall as the sacrifice began.
Ning Bei felt the bottleneck of his level 94 cultivation slowly loosening, and his soul power began to progress toward level 95.
Feeling the warmth passing through his body, Ning Bei didn't experience any pain.
Three days passed, and the Ice Emperor's body started to wobble. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that the Ice Emperor Scorpion was now nothing more than an empty shell.
On the Snow Girl martial soul, the fourth blood-red soul ring had solidified, adorned with three dazzling golden patterns.
Ning Bei's left leg had become unusually warm, as the Ice Emperor used her remaining soul power to form a soul bone for him.
Another two days passed, and the Ice Emperor Scorpion's body fully dissipated in the Ice God Hall. Ning Bei's soul power reached level 96, a truly terrifying number.
After sitting cross-legged for five days, Ning Bei suddenly opened his eyes.
"Ning Bei, congratulations, you have become a Super Douluo!"
"Just luck."
Before Ning Bei could exchange more words with Tianmeng, a long-missed, authoritative voice suddenly resounded in his mind.
"The Third Trial of the Ice God: The Emptiness of the Extreme North."
"Due to the sacrificial offerings from the Ice and Snow Emperors, the high-end combat power in the Extreme North has greatly diminished. The trial requires the tester to cultivate new rulers for the land of the Extreme North."
"The time limit is two years. The reward will be granted after completion!"
Ning Bei's heart skipped a beat. It turns out that the Ice God's Third Trial, which had been so elusive, was now waiting for him. Finding the Ice Emperor Scorpion wasn't difficult; once the Ice Emperor woke up, he could go to her tribe and find a promising descendant to put in the Dan Tower.
But where could he find another Ice Snow Girl?
Just as Ning Bei was deep in thought, Tianmeng's voice interrupted his contemplation.
"What are you doing? Why do you look like you've lost your soul?"
Ning Bei shot a glare at Tianmeng in his consciousness sea.
"I've lost nothing. The Third Trial of the Ice God was just issued. It requires me to cultivate new rulers for the Extreme North."
Tianmeng was instantly excited.
"Really? Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and complete the divine trial!"
"Do you really need to tell me? I'm trying to figure out where to find another Ice Snow Girl!"
"This..."
Tianmeng was immediately speechless. The Ice Snow Girl, as the spirit of ice and snow in the Extreme North, was a unique being forged by the heavens and earth. It seemed that this divine trial wasn't something that could be completed casually.
Just then, the gentle voice of the Snow Emperor echoed in their ears.
"If that's the case, I can help you find a new Ice Snow Spirit."
"Hmm?"
"You mean, a new Ice Snow Girl has been born?"
The Snow Emperor nodded and began to explain to Ning Bei and Tianmeng.
"The day I became your martial soul, the new Ice Snow Spirit was born. I originally planned to let her grow freely, but it seems that she's connected to the Ice God's trial."
Ning Bei was overjoyed. He hadn't expected it to be so easy.
"That's great! Once the Ice Emperor wakes up, we can go to the Extreme North. With my Dan Tower, we'll be able to reshape two new rulers for the land of the Extreme North in less than two years."
Tianmeng was also excited. The sooner Ning Bei gained the position of Ice God, the sooner they could regain their freedom.
However, the Snow Emperor's next words poured cold water on Tianmeng's fiery heart.
"That's impossible. Even if they increase in cultivation, without the accumulation of time to familiarize themselves with their own powers, they will eventually perish in the Heavenly Tribulation."
"This..."
Tianmeng immediately felt a sense of disappointment, looking at Ning Bei with a downcast expression.
Ning Bei smiled and shook his head.
"Snow Emperor, generally speaking, you're right. But don't forget, I have the Thunder Tribulation Pill. When the new Ice Snow Spirit faces the Thunder Tribulation, I'll use the Thunder Tribulation Pill to block it."
Upon hearing this, the Snow Emperor's eyes lit up. She had forgotten that Ning Bei had such a skill, and a subtle smile curved on her lips, bringing a pleasant light to the entire consciousness sea.
"Then there's no problem. Once Bing'er wakes up, we'll head to the Extreme North!"
"That's great!"
Tianmeng clapped his round belly happily. Bing'er was joining them, and Ning Bei's divine trial issue was resolved. There was nothing more exciting than that.
"By the way, Ning Bei, what soul skills did Bing'er bestow upon you?"
"Royal Ice Bodyguard and Ice God's Fury—one offensive and one defensive. Both are pretty good!"
Tianmeng nodded, confirming what he had expected.
"What about the soul bone skills?"
Ning Bei sensed the two soul skills bestowed upon him by the soul bone and smiled in satisfaction.
"One can be combined with the torso bone given by the Snow Emperor to form a combined technique, the pride of the Ice and Snow Emperors. The other is the Ice Explosion Technique, which can trigger an explosion of cold ice."
"Tsk!"
Tianmeng was stunned, his eyes wide in surprise.
"Your combat power has increased by a huge amount!"
"Indeed, this is thanks to the Ice Emperor's gift."
"It's fine, it's fine. Didn't Bing'er also get a chance to have some close contact with her brother? She'll be happy with it."
Ning Bei shot a strange glance at Tianmeng. Where did this chubby worm, whose waist and neck were equally thick, get the confidence?
Was this considered a reward from the Ice Emperor? More like a punishment. It looked like the consciousness sea would be much livelier from now on.
The Snow Emperor, however, didn't pay any attention to Tianmeng's antics. She was just happy that Bing'er could join them.
After communicating with the two, Ning Bei summoned the God-given soul ring he had received as the reward for the First Trial.
He then sat cross-legged again and took another protective pulse pill, crushing it in his hands. He planned to resolve the fifth soul ring for the Ice Snow Girl as well.
A terrifying wave of soul power immediately enveloped Ning Bei, slowly entering his body. His soul power, which had just reached level 96, began to move toward the next major milestone: level 97.
