With Elder Xuan Here, I Really Can't Think of How These Students Could Die

"Elder Xuan is leading this All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament?"

Dai Yueheng, the rest of the Shrek Six Freaks, and the Substitute were all stunned. As inner academy students, they knew exactly who Elder Xuan was.

One of the continent's strongest experts, a level ninety-eight powerhouse, vice master of the Sea God Pavilion, and vice commander of the Shrek Supervisory Team—he was Shrek's second-greatest pillar.

And it was not merely that Elder Xuan would be leading them. He had even guaranteed that they could slaughter the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy students as they pleased without worrying about being killed in return.

Elder Xuan's level ninety-eight strength assured them all that this All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament was in the bag.

"Elder Xuan is wise."

Yan Shaozhe promptly flattered Elder Xuan. With Elder Xuan's words, he, the dean of Shrek Academy, could finally rest easy.

With Elder Xuan's level ninety-eight strength standing there, even if the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy sent a bunch of Evil Soul Masters, Yan Shaozhe could not imagine how these students could possibly die.

It seemed that this time, they would once again win a crushing victory over the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

"Elder Xuan is wise!" ×7

Once Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, this generation's Shrek Six Freaks and the Substitute finally snapped out of it and immediately shouted along with him.

Elder Xuan nodded. Then, taking a swig of wine and a bite of meat, he leisurely strolled away. After Elder Xuan left, Yan Shaozhe suddenly received a voice transmission from him.

"Oh, right. Although this lineup would have no trouble defeating those Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy trash, it would be best if Xiaotao could recover. I gave it some careful thought—having two Soul Emperors would be more reliable. So during this time, find a way to get hold of something that will at least let Xiaotao recover somewhat before the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament, in case something unexpected happens."

"Yes, Elder Xuan."

After Yan Shaozhe acknowledged him, Elder Xuan continued drinking by himself, enjoying his carefree, intoxicated life.

"With two Soul Emperors and Soul Kings as the foundation, I really can't think of any accident that could make Shrek lose."

"Finally here. As expected of the Extreme North—it's freezing to death."

Near the snowfields of the Extreme North, a Soul Motorcycle slowly came to a stop. Xiao Qiang put the Soul Motorcycle away, then began changing into cold-weather clothes.

After changing, Xiao Qiang took another Soul Motorcycle from his Soul Tool, one that could travel over snow.

As Jing Hongchen's disciple, Xiao Qiang had long since switched from being a free-to-play player to a Gold Soul Coin player. He had no intention of suffering through the hardship of running on foot like Huo Yuhao, nor was there any need for him to deliberately endure it.

After leaving the imperial capital, Xiao Qiang had taken out the Soul Motorcycle Tian Meng had made for him and sped all the way here, reaching the edge of the snowfields in two and a half days.

Xiao Qiang had no intention of running across the snowfields himself either. The omnipotent Brother Sky Dream had already made a snow version of the Soul Motorcycle before Xiao Qiang arrived. It could even be fitted with extra components to form a small Heating Room. Xiao Qiang's principle was simple: if he did not have to suffer, he would not.

At level forty, Xiao Qiang's Soul Power far surpassed that of the level-twenty Huo Yuhao. Combined with the various warming equipment he had prepared beforehand, Xiao Qiang barely even felt cold when Tian Meng told him to hide.

Once Xiao Qiang had finished preparing everything, Tian Meng's consciousness left his body. After releasing his origin aura to lure the Ice Empress over, Tian Meng trapped her just as he had in the original story.

"Xiao Qiang, we're withdrawing!"

"Roger!"

Xiao Qiang instantly ran out of the shelter he had been staying in. With a wave of both hands, he used one to store the shelter back into his Soul Tool and the other to take out another Snow Motorcycle.

Then, to avoid any further complications, Xiao Qiang unleashed his Soul Power at full force. Driven by that powerful Soul Power, his Snow Motorcycle burst forth at a terrifying speed, reaching the outskirts of the Extreme North in two and a half hours. After trapping the Ice Empress for half a day, Tian Meng felt the time was about right.

"Ice Empress, stop struggling. You've tried many times already. You should know it's useless." Tian Meng's voice slowly entered her Spiritual Prison.

"What do you want?" the Ice Empress said coldly.

"I only want to be together with the one I love forever."

The Ice Empress sneered. "This is how you love me?"

"Don't be so hasty. Listen to me."

"Hmph. Listen to what? Listen to you say you love me? If you really love me, why won't you release your true body? I'm already your prisoner. What are you still afraid of?"

Tian Meng sighed. "Of course I'm not afraid. It's just that I have no way to let you see my true body. My true body no longer exists. Haven't you noticed that what you've been seeing all along is only my spiritual origin, not Simulation?"

The Ice Empress froze. "What did you say?! Only your spiritual origin remains? Where is your body?"

"It's gone, along with the origin of my Soul Power. It's a long story." Tian Meng briefly explained what had happened after he left the Star Dou Great Forest. In his account, Tian Meng described himself as utterly miserable. In truth, he really had suffered terribly, but the Ice Empress's face showed not the slightest hint of sympathy.

"Fortunately, at the very last moment when I escaped the Star Dou Great Forest, I met Xiao Qiang—my current master. Otherwise, I probably would never have seen you again in this life, Bing Bing."

"Master? Tian Meng, you're a Million Year Spirit Beast, yet you chose to submit to a human?" The Ice Empress looked at Tian Meng with even greater disdain, but he did not mind in the slightest. He even seemed a little pleased with himself.

"That's another long story..."

Just as in the original story, Tian Meng explained his plan to the Ice Empress. After she considered it for a while, Tian Meng brought the Ice Empress, in her consciousness form, before Xiao Qiang.

Although there would inevitably be some changes when a two-dimensional character became three-dimensional, Xiao Qiang immediately recognized the beautiful girl before him from her green twin-tails and golden eyes as the Ice Empress.

"Tian Meng, is this the host you chose? I can sense that his spiritual power is far stronger than that of ordinary Soul Masters. With this Soul Power at his age, his talent is not bad either. But the God Creation Plan..."

The Ice Empress shook her head. "Forgive my bluntness, but it's far too difficult. Merely relying on spiritual power far beyond ordinary people's, I see very little hope of successfully creating a god."

"Bing Bing, I..."

Tian Meng was about to say something, but Xiao Qiang interrupted him.

"Ice Empress, since I am also a participant in the God Creation Plan, may I say a few words?"

PS: I saw some people complaining in the previous chapter about the protagonist suddenly having relatives. How should I put it? Mainly because after merging with the Ice Empress, the protagonist will soon reach level fifty. The protagonist cannot go to Dragon Valley himself, but he needs that Torso Bone, so he still needs a relative to do the job. There is no reason for anyone else to give the Torso Bone to the protagonist.
