The Land of the Extreme North Meets Shui Bing'er

After leaving the middle ring of the Land of the Extreme North, Xue Tianxing slowed his flight speed.

Most of the Soul Beasts in the outer ring of the Land of the Extreme North were thousands of years old. With his current strength as a Level 42 Soul Ancestor, plus the 23,000-year-old Soul Ring he had just absorbed, these Soul Beasts posed no threat to him.

Xue Tianxing stretched his Ice Phoenix wings and flew leisurely at a low altitude, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the ice plains below, appreciating the unique, vast snowy scenery of the Land of the Extreme North.

Just then, the sound of an intense battle drifted over with the cold wind, mixed with the roar of Soul Skill explosions and the shrieks of birds.

Xue Tianxing's heart stirred. He immediately concealed his aura and quietly flew towards the source of the sound.

Then, Xue Tianxing landed behind an ice hill and peeked out. In the ice valley not far away, a fierce siege battle was unfolding.

Two people were being besieged: one wore a green tight-fitting outfit and was surrounded by five Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black—clearly a Soul King; the other was slender, dressed in a white dress, with only two yellow Soul Rings. However, Xue Tianxing detected through his Soul Power that her Soul Power had already reached the peak of Level 30, just one Soul Ring away from advancing to Soul Elder.

Besieging them was a group of snow-white Soul Beasts with wingspans of about one meter—they were Snowy Sparrows, found only in the Land of the Extreme North.

Xue Tianxing observed for a moment and quickly understood the situation.

The Soul King had clearly brought the young lady in white to hunt for her third Soul Ring, but for some reason, they had agitated the entire flock of Snowy Sparrows and were now completely surrounded.

His gaze fell upon the largest bird in the flock—that Snowy Sparrow had a wingspan of over two meters, and its body was enveloped in dense Soul Power fluctuations. Its age was actually ten thousand years, making it the leader of this flock.

A ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast plus over a dozen thousand-year-old Soul Beasts attacking together, even though the Soul King was not weak, he was gradually becoming overwhelmed.

He swung the long saber in his hand, constantly repelling the attacking sparrows, but the Snowy Sparrows were too numerous and skilled in group coordination. His defenses soon showed a flaw, and he had already sustained several wounds from the birds' claws.

The young lady in white beside him was also fighting fiercely, continuously releasing ice-attribute Soul Skills to freeze the attacking sparrows, but due to insufficient Soul Power, the effect was becoming weaker and weaker.

Xue Tianxing frowned, hesitating whether to intervene—it was better not to get involved in unnecessary trouble; he wanted to reach the town and meet up with Liu Tianfeng and the others as soon as possible.

But at this moment, the young lady in white seemed to be pushed to her limit and suddenly released her Martial Soul:

A phantom of an ice-blue Phoenix spread out behind her. As its wings flapped, a biting ice-attribute energy diffused outwards. It was her second Soul Skill, an ice-blue beam of light shot towards a thousand-year-old Snowy Sparrow.

"Hmm?"

Xue Tianxing's heart trembled—he clearly felt that his Ice Phoenix Martial Soul resonated strongly with the girl's Martial Soul, as if encountering a power of the same origin!

Xue Tianxing looked closely. The girl's Martial Soul was indeed an Ice Phoenix, and judging by the Soul Power fluctuations, it also possessed the Extreme Ice attribute!

"Shui Bing'er!"

Xue Tianxing instantly recognized her—the captain of Skywater Academy from the original work, possessing the Extreme Ice attribute and the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, a prodigy.

In the words of netizens from his past life, if Shui Bing'er hadn't encountered the protagonist group, she would undoubtedly be considered a top genius among the younger generation on the Douluo Continent.

Looking at Shui Bing'er's pale cheeks from Soul Power exhaustion, and the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul that shared the same origin as his own, Xue Tianxing no longer hesitated.

He not only wanted to befriend this genius who also possessed the Extreme Ice Ice Phoenix Martial Soul but also felt a favorable impression towards Shui Bing'er's appearance and demeanor—dressed in white, with a beautiful and refined appearance, even in the midst of fierce battle, it was hard to conceal her unique agility and resilience.

"It's time to act!"

Xue Tianxing grunted, fiercely spreading his Ice Phoenix wings. His Soul Power erupted, and the aura of a Level 42 Soul Ancestor was instantly released.

Xue Tianxing leaped up and flew towards the ice valley, simultaneously unleashing his fourth Soul Skill obtained from that 20,000-year-old Raging Wind Ice Vulture—"Ice Phoenix: Raging Wind Howl"!

A roar containing the power of ice and wind erupted from the Ice Phoenix's mouth, instantly sweeping across the entire ice valley.

The Snowy Sparrows besieging them were sent flying backward by this powerful force, and several weaker thousand-year-old sparrows were even directly stunned to the ground.

The ten-thousand-year-old Snowy Sparrow leader was also startled. It turned its head and glared fiercely at Xue Tianxing, its eyes full of vigilance.

Shui Bing'er and the Soul King were stunned, looking in surprise at the suddenly appearing Xue Tianxing and the Ice Phoenix behind him, which was remarkably similar to Shui Bing'er's Martial Soul.

Xue Tianxing transformed into an ice-blue stream of light, instantly landing beside Shui Bing'er, and asked with concern:

"Are you alright?"

Shui Bing'er turned her head, looking at Xue Tianxing, who was half a head shorter than her but exuded a biting chill. A flicker of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she then said gratefully:

"Thank you for your help, we're fine for now."

As soon as Shui Bing'er finished speaking, Teacher Sun from Skywater Academy beside her suddenly said sternly:

"Stop talking! They're coming again!"

The flock of Snowy Sparrows regrouped and charged towards the three again, the sound of their flapping wings like thunder.

Teacher Sun no longer hesitated. He unleashed his Soul Power to the fullest, his five Soul Rings lighting up simultaneously, and he rushed towards the ten-thousand-year-old Snowy Sparrow King, attempting to buy the two some breathing room.

"Leave them to me!"

Xue Tianxing grunted, his Ice Phoenix Martial Soul spreading its wings, his third Soul Ring suddenly lighting up—"Third Soul Skill, Ice Flame Phoenix Cry!"

Accompanied by a crisp phoenix cry, the Ice Phoenix spat out a ball of deep blue ice flame from its mouth, shooting like a meteor towards the swarming thousand-year-old Snowy Sparrows.

Where the ice flame passed, the air instantly solidified. The Snowy Sparrows flying at the forefront had no time to dodge and were instantly frozen into crystalline ice sculptures, falling straight from the sky.

Immediately after, the Ice Phoenix let out another high-pitched cry, and an invisible sound wave spread out, temporarily freezing the remaining Snowy Sparrows in mid-air, unable to move!

"What a powerful Soul Skill!"

Shui Bing'er's eyes were filled with shock.

Xue Tianxing didn't pause, and his first Soul Ring lit up:

"First Soul Skill, Extreme Cold Ray!"

A slender ray imbued with terrifying coldness shot out from the Ice Phoenix's beak, sweeping across the frozen flock of sparrows like the scythe of the Grim Reaper. Several more Snowy Sparrows fell to the ground, their life force completely extinguished.

In just a short moment, Xue Tianxing had dealt with nearly half of the thousand-year-old Snowy Sparrows, but this also completely enraged the remaining Soul Beasts.

The ten-thousand-year-old Snowy Sparrow King let out a sharp screech, broke free from Teacher Sun's entanglement, and led the remaining sparrows in another charge—this time the assault was more ferocious than before. The sparrows, disregarding their lives, pounced on the three, their sharp claws and beaks flashing with cold light, making them difficult to fend off.
