The Soul Master Tournament Begins! A Gathering Storm!

Ice Empress ultimately did not apologize.

The proud girl hesitated for a long time, her little face turning red, but she still couldn't say the words "I'm sorry".

As one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, a super Soul Beast with over 390,000 years of cultivation, it's impossible for her to apologize to a human.

Even though it was her older sister, Snow Empress, who urged her to apologize.

"Hmph, you dare disobey me? Apologize now!"

Snow Empress snorted, stretched out her slender, translucent white hand, grabbed Ice Empress's delicate little ear, and twisted it hard a few times.

"Waaaaah, sister, it hurts..."

Ice Empress sobbed, covering her ears with her hands, and tears the size of pearls rolled down her beautiful emerald eyes.

It's unclear whether she was genuinely in pain or faking it, but she looked pitiful and endearing, completely unlike the fierce and domineering figure she had when she first revealed her true form Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

Apologize now!

Snow Empress wouldn't let it go, hands on her hips, looking like she was lecturing a junior.

No, I won't!

Ice Empress haughtily turned her head away, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "You want me to apologize to a human? Impossible!"

"You..."

As the Snow Empress raised her jade-like hand, about to pinch her younger sister's ear again, Zhou Chen suddenly spoke up, saying gently, "Your Snow Empress, since your sister is unwilling to apologize, then let it go. After all, she is still just a child."

Upon hearing this, Ice Empress immediately objected.

She jumped up, furious, and said, "Human, what right do you have to call me a child? When I was born, your human ancestors were still Core Flame and eating raw meat! I am your ancestor!"

"Oh, really?"

Zhou Chen glanced disdainfully at Ice Empress's flat figure, which looked as if it had been run over by a steamroller, and said in a strange tone.

This disdainful look only fueled Ice Empress's anger. She tried her best to straighten her chest and pull in her stomach, attempting to create a seductive silhouette, but no matter what she did, her figure remained flat.

"Smack!"

Snow Empress slapped Ice Empress on the forehead, her tone anxious and dissatisfied, "Who are you treating as an ancestor to? You think you can just make up stories about Lord Zhou Chen's ancestors?"

"Waaaaah, sister, why did you hit me again?"

Ice Empress covered her head with both hands, crying half-spoiled and half-mournful, "You hit me for a human? Do you like him? You don't love me anymore! You've changed your mind!"

Snow Empress: "..."

Zhou Chen and the girls, including Bi Ji: "..."

The atmosphere remained awkwardly silent for a long time. Finally, Snow Empress, her face flushed red from her sister's unreasonable questioning, snapped back to reality. She slapped Ice Empress on the forehead again, scolding, "What nonsense are you spouting, you brat? I'm just worried you'll be punished by the gods!"

What?!

Ice Empress still covered her head with both hands, her rosy lips pouting, clearly not believing her older sister's words.

Seeing her younger sister's indignant expression, the Snow Empress said with exasperation, "Don't you understand? Lord Zhou Chen is only fifteen years old and he can beat you so badly that you can't fight back. His bloodline must be extremely powerful. His ancestors were very likely gods from the Divine Realm!"

After a pause, the Snow Empress continued, "A deity's thoughts are infinite, and there is a natural response to them. Sister, if Zhou Chen's divine ancestor had sensed what you just said, the consequences would be..."

Upon hearing this, Ice Empress's face instantly turned deathly pale, devoid of any color.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen and his group couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing. It turns out that even the Ice Empress has moments of fear!

"Alright, alright, Your Snow Empress, there's no need to scare your sister. If she doesn't want to apologize, then so be it."

Zhou Chen smoothed things over, then tossed the Soul Beast Breeding Booster in his hand and laughed, "We still need to go to the Core Region of your Far North Land to bury this artifact!"

"Oh, right, that was my oversight. I'll take you to the Core Region now."

Upon hearing this, Snow Empress nodded hurriedly like a chicken pecking at rice, her gaze immediately shifting to the Soul Beast Proliferator, completely losing the domineering demeanor she had displayed just moments before when she had frozen time and space.

As the de facto ruler of the Far North Land, the Snow Empress was still very concerned about the situation under her rule.

The Far North Land has a harsh climate, so the number of Soul Beast is already small. With this Proliferator, the reproduction, growth, and cultivation speed of the Soul Beast in the Far North will increase tenfold. This is very beneficial to both her and the overall situation of the Soul Beast Clan.

Therefore, she couldn't wait for Zhou Chen to place this divine artifact!

Seeing her sister's excited and eager gaze, Ice Empress, completely bewildered, covered her head and squatted on the ground, curiously looking at the Proliferator in Zhou Chen's hand...

One hour later.

The Far North Land, the Core Region.

Near the Ice Abyss Rift, which stretches for thousands of miles, is thousands of meters wide, and tens of thousands of meters deep.

A particularly large white Ice Bear stood on one side of the ice abyss, looking down into the bottomless Ice Abyss Rift.

This Ice Bear is over fifty meters long and over fifteen meters tall at the shoulder; its enormous body is practically a small hill.

Its name is Xiao Bai. It was adopted by Snow Empress when it was a child. Now it is a super Soul Beast with more than 200,000 years of cultivation. It has become the king of the Ice Bear Clan and has always been loyal to Xue Emperor Palm the Far North Land.

Its strength is no less than that of Titan Snow Demon King, the third-ranked of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North.

At this moment, the two stunningly beautiful women, Ice Empress and Snow Empress, stood gracefully on the broad back of Ice Bear King Xiao Bai.

Beside the two women stood Bi Ji, Zi JI, and the cute girls from the Heavenly Water Academy. They all stared at Zhou Chen, who stood atop the Ice Bear King, their gazes tense yet expectant.

"I'm starting."

Zhou Chen said calmly.

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Chen channeled his Soul Power and tossed the Soul Beast Breeding Booster in his hand!

In an instant, the green hemispherical object traced a graceful arc in the sky and plummeted towards the bottom of the Ice Abyss Rift!

After a moment, suddenly, accompanied by a violent tremor, a green beam of light shot straight out from the depths of the Ice Abyss Rift!

In the blink of an eye, the green beam of light connected heaven and earth, then transformed into patches of green light that spread across the sky.

The entire Far North Land, spanning tens of millions of square kilometers, was instantly bathed in this green light, like a gigantic jade dome enveloping the Far North Land!

"It's a success!"

The two sisters, Ice Empress and Snow Empress, jumped up and down, raising their little fists, their beautiful faces full of joy.

Not only them, but Bi Ji and Zi JI were also overjoyed. The two women looked at Zhou Chen with affection, and their fair cheeks turned blush.

As for Shui Binger and the other girls from the Heavenly Water Academy, they didn't care about the Soul Beast Clan. At this moment, they were more filled with respect and admiration for Zhou Chen!

"Lord Zhou Chen."

Snow Empress called out, then came to Zhou Chen's side. She raised her head, looking up at Zhou Chen with her beautiful sky-blue eyes, and said in a gentle yet firm tone, "Thank you. The Soul Beast Clan will never forget your kindness. If there is anything we sisters can do for you in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. Even if it means going through fire and water, we will not let you down."

"Haha, you're too kind."

Zhou Chen waved his hand, smiling as he gazed at Snow Empress, and said, "No need to call me 'Your Excellency,' it's too formal. We're friends now, so just call me Zhou Chen."

Upon hearing this, Bi Ji, Zi JI, and Shui Binger Bing'er's expressions instantly turned strange.

Calling someone by their first name is something reserved for close friends and family.

"Yes, Zhou Chen."

The naive Snow Empress didn't see anything wrong with changing how she was addressed. She nodded and said warmly, "I don't have a name, so just call me Xue'er."

"Xue'er."

Zhou Chen immediately agreed and said affectionately.

"How cheesy!"

Seeing this, Bi Ji felt a pang of jealousy and her teeth ached.

"Hehe, you've tried Zhou the Saint of Love's methods before, so what's there to be uncomfortable about?"

"It's a sarcastic remark from Zi JI."

Her words immediately drew nods of agreement from everyone.

Zhou Chen, who possessed the Heavenly Vision Earthly Hearing Technique, could hear all of these words. However, with a skin thicker than a city wall, he didn't care at all. Instead, he kept chatting amicably with Snow Empress, occasionally throwing out a few witty and humorous remarks that made Snow Empress giggle.

Not only that, but in just a moment, Ice Empress, who was watching with envy, also came over to Zhou Chen's side, and the two sisters chatted enthusiastically with Zhou Chen.

This scene, witnessed by Bi Ji and her friends, naturally aroused their jealousy.

"Let's go, let him flirt with those two sisters here all by himself."

Zi JI, displeased, grabbed Bi Ji's hand and egged her on.

Shui Binger, standing to the side, looked around at her sisters and said seriously, "By the way, I haven't hunted a Soul Ring yet. Sisters, can you help me hunt one?"

"Okay, okay."

"Okay, let's leave first."

"Brother Zhou Chen..."

In the blink of an eye, the beautiful women who were just moments before had all left the back of Ice Bear King Xiao Bai and disappeared without a trace.

However, they were just joking to vent their frustrations. It wouldn't be long before they returned to Zhou Chen's side.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chen was still telling jokes to the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, discussing the customs and culture of the Heaven Dou Empire, which amazed the two sisters who had been staying at home for thousands of years.

"Xue'er, Bing'er, the Far North Land is too desolate; there's no point in you staying here. Why don't you come back to the Heaven Dou Empire with me? I'll show you the splendor of human civilization."

Zhou Chen said with a smile.

He had just described so much of the prosperity and beauty of the Heaven Dou Empire to pique the interest of the two women, so that he could smoothly take them along.

With these two incredibly powerful super Soul Beast, the Purple Micro Palace's strength is almost comparable to that of the Spirit Hall.

Moreover, with the two sisters being so stunningly beautiful, it was inevitable that Zhou Chen would develop some feelings for them.

Upon hearing Zhou Chen's words, Snow Empress and Ice Empress exchanged a glance, and both sisters saw a hint of attraction in each other's eyes.

However, after hesitating for a moment, Snow Empress shook her head and said softly, "Zhou Chen, the countless Soul Beasts in the Far North Land still need our protection, so we cannot leave with you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen felt immediately disappointed.

However, Zhou Chen, being a transmigrator, respected the women's choices and didn't force them. He simply took out two purple tokens from his spatial ring and handed them to the Snow Empress and Ice Empress respectively, saying:

"Xue'er, Bing'er, this is the Big Dipper Token of our Purple Micro Palace. If you encounter any danger, crush the token, and I will come to your rescue immediately."

"Mmm, thank you."

Taking the token, the Snow Empress lowered her head shyly. The Ice Empress, however, boldly looked at Zhou Chen, her eyes burning with desire, and said in a sweet voice, "It won't be long before I face my Heavenly Tribulation. I'll crush the token beforehand, and you must come and help me!"

"Of course, how could I watch the beautiful Bing'er perish?"

Zhou Chen affectionately ruffled Ice Empress's little head, and Ice Empress's eyes immediately narrowed, her expression like that of a little kitten...

One month later.

Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City.

The highly anticipated Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, opening ceremony of the Heaven Dou Empire Division, was grandly held in Heaven Dou City.

As the most prestigious competition in the Soul Master World, this competition not only attracted the attention of Soul Master, but also the general public. In particular, the people of Heaven Dou City regarded this competition as their grandest festival.

The opening ceremony was held at the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena. Two years ago, the entire Great Spirit Arena was reduced to ruins due to a battle between the powerful figures of the Purple Micro Palace and the Holy Spirit Church.

The current Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena has just been rebuilt, costing a full ten million Gold Soul Coin, and is three times larger than before!

As dawn broke and the sky began to lighten, the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena had already attracted a large number of spectators.

This is normal. The entire Great Spirit Arena has 200,000 seats, and all 200,000 seated tickets were sold out a month ago. The 200,000 standing tickets are also almost sold out. This shows how many spectators will be there today.

At the very top of the Great Spirit Arena are three thousand open-air VIP seats. Those who can buy VIP tickets are all from noble families or powerful Soul Master.

Especially among some noble families, who may not be very skilled in cultivating their Soul Power, and some may not even be Soul Master at all, they are the most enthusiastic about this kind of competition.

It wasn't that the nobles enjoyed watching the spectacle; rather, they hoped to recruit some Soul Master.

The Soul Master Tournament is a cradle of talent. Not to mention the top-ranked elite young Soul Master, even those who did not achieve any Soul Master are sought after by nobles and Great Spirit Master families.

At this moment, the entire Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena was bustling with noise, with more than 500,000 people gathered here, making it a truly spectacular sight.

For this competition, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family mobilized 50,000 Imperial Guards, and even dispatched more than half of the high-level Soul Master of the Royal Soul Master Offering Legion. They also contacted royal allies such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Purple Micro Palace, and mobilized more than 100 powerful experts above the level 60 Soul Emperor.

With so many powerful Soul Master present, it wasn't just to maintain order, but also to protect the safety of the important figures attending the ceremony.

For example, Xue Ye, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi and others will all attend the ceremony of this competition. Even Zhou Chen, who has just returned from the Far North Land, will attend the ceremony with his wives.

Thank you all for your subscriptions, donations, recommendations, and monthly tickets.
