Ice Rain Dew

Bibi Dong's lovely brows furrowed, killing intent flashing through her eyes. She was about to fly into a rage, but when she circulated her Soul Power, she discovered that it had fallen to Level Forty.

What exactly was going on?

Hadn't she already Broken Through to Soul Saint?

And where had the Lovesick Heartbreak Red gone? She had actually lost her connection to it. It was the only keepsake Little Linzi had left her, and it had already Recognized her as its master. Even if someone else took it away, she should still be able to sense the faint link between them.

Joy flickered in the woman's eyes as she asked gently, "Your Highness, the Saintess, you've finally awakened. Do you still feel any discomfort?"

Bibi Dong replied reservedly, "It's nothing serious."

She had far too many questions, but ever since Little Linzi's death, after losing the only solace in her heart, she had learned to endure and no longer indulged her emotions.

Whether it was discovering that Teacher was the True Culprit behind Little Linzi's death, or her current situation, she would endure until everything had been settled.

She merely pretended that she had just awakened, her expression dazed. "Why am I here? Who brought me back?"

"You suddenly fainted while absorbing the Thorned Demonic Spider's Soul Ring. Fortunately, although you had not finished absorbing that Soul Ring, you had not absorbed much of its energy either. At the First Moment, I removed that portion of the Thorned Demonic Spider's Soul Power from your body and sent you back to the Papal Palace for treatment. Otherwise, even dying ten thousand times would not have been enough to atone for my failure."

Yet the woman's next words made it impossible for her to remain calm.

"The Thorned Demonic Spider?"

Bibi Dong's expression suddenly became exhilarated. Unable to control her emotions, she asked excitedly.

She knew this Soul Beast all too well.

Because it was the Soul Beast she had hunted when obtaining the Death Spider Emperor's Fourth Soul Ring.

At this point, she should not yet have met Little Linzi.

Little Linzi was most likely still in Yelin City, or perhaps staying at some inn in Spirit City.

She raised her head, returning to the innocent and romantic demeanor appropriate for her age, and casually asked, "Sister Ling Yuan, has a Theoretical Master surnamed Lin arrived in Spirit City recently?"

Ling Yuan paused, looking at her strangely with her beautiful eyes.

Bibi Dong remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was overjoyed. It seemed Little Linzi was still alive.

Ling Yuan shook her head. "Your Highness, the Saintess, perhaps I am simply poorly informed, but I have not heard of any Theoretical Master surnamed Lin. Shall I investigate it for you?"

"There's no need."

In her previous life, it was because of her that Little Linzi had caught Qian Xunji's attention. In this life, she would never repeat the same mistake.

She only needed to wait a while before arranging an early "chance encounter" with Little Linzi.

She changed the subject. "Sister Ling Yuan, I'd like to ask you for a favor."

A Moment Later, Ling Yuan left. Bibi Dong rose and walked alone to the mirror in her chamber, gazing at herself as she had been at fourteen or fifteen years old.

She wore a light-purple dress that fully displayed her proud figure. Her chest was full, her waist slender as a willow branch, and her legs straight and long, brimming with beauty.

Her features were lovely, her skin crystal-clear and fair, and her brows and eyes picturesque. Though she still had a little baby fat, it did nothing to diminish her overall beauty. She was as delicate and beautiful as a goddess. Her hair swayed in the gentle breeze blowing in through the window, while her gaze was sharp and her bearing heroic and spirited.

"Little Linzi, since I have been given a chance to start over, then in this life, I will never let you suffer any harm again. And the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect—for everything you did to Little Linzi, I will make you pay the price."

Bibi Dong clenched her delicate fists, silently making up her mind.

Naturally, she had sent Ling Yuan to search for Whale Rubber.

If she wanted to protect Little Linzi, she had to make herself stronger as soon as possible.

Starting with absorbing a ten-thousand-year Fourth Soul Ring.

Bibi Dong had been "reborn," but Lin Hanye knew nothing of it.

At this moment, he was still nurturing the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and extracting Ice Rain Dew.

"Finally, it's done."

After several hours, Lin Hanye finally used his Soul Power to strip a piece of Ice Rain Dew, roughly the size of a mineral water bottle cap, from the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

This Ice Rain Dew was nothing else—it was the tiny ice crystals condensed by the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass's flower buds.

Just this small piece alone had likely taken the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass countless years to condense.

If nothing unexpected happened, then under normal circumstances, it would need at least another ten thousand years before the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass could condense more.

But that was no longer Lin Hanye's concern.

After placing the potted Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass aside, Lin Hanye swallowed the Ice Rain Dew in one gulp. He sat cross-legged on the ground, summoned his Ice Water martial spirit, and began refining it.

As he continuously absorbed the energy, his martial spirit began to change.

The originally irregular Ice Water gradually froze completely, transforming toward an ice-blue diamond-shaped octahedron. It formed into a crystal-clear ice crystal.

The white icy mist rising from the surface of the Ice Water did not change, but its temperature dropped significantly.

Even through the Ice Barrier created by Lin Hanye's Second Soul Skill, Mysterious Ice Bind, and the walls of the room, people in the neighboring room and those passing through the corridor could feel a bone-chilling cold.

Crack— After an unknown amount of time, the Yelin City Advanced Academy uniform covering Lin Hanye's body peeled away from his skin like shattered slabs of ice, leaving him naked except for the jet-black ring on his right index finger.

This was the Storage Soul Tool left behind by his parents.

Meanwhile, his entire body was shrouded in the same white, frigid mist that covered the surface of the ice crystal.

As the ice crystal formed, the white, frigid mist around Lin Hanye's body gradually solidified, eventually transforming into flickering Ice Blue Flame-like Energy.

At this moment, because of his martial soul's evolution, Lin Hanye also received the same treatment as Tang Buddha and the Phoenix of the Brothel.

His body began to undergo subtle changes.

First, his messy black hair turned Ice Blue and began to grow longer. Amid that Ice Blue hair were traces of A Faint golden radiance, as dazzling and colorful as the ice crystal condensed from his Ice Element martial soul.

At this moment, Lin Hanye's entire body underwent a sublimation.

His skin became fairer, and he seemed to have grown taller as well, his proportions becoming more harmonious. If Lin Hanye had previously stood only around 1.7 meters tall, he was now well over 1.8 meters.

Most eye-catching of all was his face. He had been somewhat handsome before, but now every flaw had vanished. His eyes seemed slightly larger, and even his temperament had undergone Earth-Shattering Changes, giving him an additional air of refined serenity.

If anyone familiar with Lin Hanye had been here and seen him like this, they would have found it difficult to recognize him as Lin Hanye.

Of course, Bibi Dong was an exception.

In the core region of Sunset Forest lay a Ring Mountain Range.

Within the Ring Mountain Range, a Great Flame Bird with a wingspan exceeding twenty meters was fighting a Great Green Serpent over thirty meters long.

The Great Flame Bird spewed blazing flames, incinerating everything.

Gray rays shot from the Great Green Serpent's eyes. Wherever they passed, all flowers, grass, and trees were turned to stone, then shattered apart under their own weight.
