Douluo Continent.

Within the Mixed Zone of the Far North.

"Roar—"

A deep beastly roar echoed through this world of nothing but ice and snow, adding a faint trace of life to the desolate land.

A massive figure came charging from afar. Wherever it passed, fierce winds howled, and the ice and snow collapsed to either side like shattered waves.

It was a strange Soul Beast with four legs and a body nearly six meters long! Its sharp claws seemed capable of tearing even space apart. Its entire body was covered in snow-white crystals, while its long tail resembled one studded with dazzling, multicolored gems. Its ferocious beast head was twisted by agony and terror, making it look all the more bloody and grotesque.

It was a twelve-thousand-year-old Mysterious Sea Glazed Beast!

An ice-and-water dual-element super Soul Beast that had nearly gone extinct! It was said that when its race had flourished, there had even been a Beast Emperor over six hundred thousand years old among them. Not only had it mastered the ultimate ice, but it had once dominated the entire Far North for hundreds of thousands of years. Unfortunately, the race had been too powerful and domineering, drawing the siege of the myriad races of the Far North and ultimately ending in near extinction.

The twelve-thousand-year-old Mysterious Sea Glazed Beast before him was already an exceptionally rare and powerful Soul Beast. With its top-tier ice-and-water attributes and formidable physique, it could escape even against some powerful fifty-thousand-year Soul Beasts. Yet now it was being hunted in such a wretched state, which was truly astonishing.

As a sharp tearing sound pierced the air, the Mysterious Sea Glazed Beast seemed to receive a tremendous fright. Its steps quickened again, and the blood spilling from its body scattered across the ground as though it cost nothing, staining the pristine snow red.

Only as the distance closed did the source of that piercing sound finally become clear.

It was actually a long spear, entirely ice-blue and as clear as crystal!

The spear radiated a misty blue glow, its shaft covered in all manner of strange runes and carrying an aura of utmost purity and coldness.

Only one side of the spear bore a blade, but it was exceptionally long, taking up nearly a quarter of the entire weapon. Icy blue mist drifted from the blade, as though it could freeze all the sins in the world.

Near the upper middle of the spear's shaft, two ancient yet forceful words could vaguely be seen—Cold Sky!

The Cold Sky Spear streaked through the air at tremendous speed. Wherever it passed, even the air itself seemed suppressed by its extreme cold and incomparably sharp spear light, losing its original brilliance.

With a pained beast cry, the massive Mysterious Sea Glazed Beast crashed to the ground. The Cold Sky Spear, its tip stained with traces of blood, nailed it firmly to the snowy earth, leaving it unable to move.

A youth slowly emerged from the wind and snow in the distance. He looked teasingly at the Mysterious Sea Glazed Beast, which was still struggling desperately, while a dangerous killing intent flashed in his eyes.

The youth stood tall and straight, with a face as fair as jade. His pair of violet-blue pupils were extraordinarily mysterious, like the deep sea, yet filled with endless secrets.

He stood proudly amid the wind and snow, dressed in a white sable-fur robe. His violet-blue hair hung loosely down his back, fluttering in the wind without the slightest disorder.

Upon closer inspection, his handsome and carefree features seemed like the masterpiece of a master sculptor. His noble and striking temperament radiated from within, making people unable to resist feeling admiration and affection for him.

Shen Hanyu casually beckoned, and the Cold Sky Spear rose from the ground, turning into a streak of flowing light as it returned to his hand, as though it had fused directly with him.

Looking at the Mysterious Sea Glazed Beast struggling bitterly on the ground, Shen Hanyu sneered and thrust his spear directly into its brain, completely ending its life.

As immense energy gradually gathered, a black Soul Ring slowly condensed above its corpse, radiating a terrifying aura.

Shen Hanyu sighed softly. He then scattered pungent medicinal powder around the area to drive away Soul Beasts before sitting down cross-legged on the spot to absorb the black Soul Ring.

Five hours later.

Shen Hanyu's figure reappeared amid the boundless wind and snow. The biting cold wind howled, and snowflakes brushed across his face, bringing a faint sting of pain.

"Looks like another blizzard."

His low voice sounded out. Shen Hanyu did not stop walking as he headed toward the city on the outskirts of the Far North, where his temporary residence was located.

"Heh, I didn't expect that even after transmigrating, I'd still have to cultivate desperately every day. This is more exhausting than working as a mercenary during summer break..."

Shen Hanyu muttered in complaint while taking out a piece of dried meat from his Soul Tool and eating it with snow.

As the most complicated region in the center of the Far North, the Mixed Zone was truly a place where all kinds of creatures gathered. Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts and ten-year Soul Beasts alike could appear here. If one was lucky, one might even find traces of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast deep within the Mixed Zone.

After eating and drinking his fill, Shen Hanyu casually wiped his mouth and took out a map made from Soul Beast hide to examine it. Once he had confirmed the approximate distance, he put it away.

His figure then swiftly vanished as he rushed toward the human city a hundred li away.

Tianbing City.

As the first line of defense against the Soul Beast tide of the Far North, it was also the largest city within a thousand li. Its ice-covered walls stood nearly thirty meters high, and their thickness was equally unparalleled. Even racing horse carriages atop them was no difficult task.

Not only were six thousand permanent troops of the Heaven Dou Empire stationed in the city, but there was also a specialized Soul Master unit. Its strongest member had reached the level of Soul Sage, while even its weakest members possessed the cultivation of Soul Elders. It was an exceedingly formidable force.

Shen Hanyu paid three Bronze Soul Coins and entered the city without issue. He then headed all the way east before entering a lavishly decorated hotel. After casually exchanging a few words with the front desk, he went straight to the top floor and entered his room.

The furnishings in the room were understated yet luxurious, and the facilities were comprehensive. It did not disappoint its terrifying price of dozens of Gold Soul Coins per night.

Shen Hanyu heavily threw himself onto the soft white bed, allowing his body to be swallowed by its soft touch as he used it to ease the pressure and terrifying exhaustion brought by his recent journey.

The low temperatures in the Mixed Zone of the Far North required even Soul Emperors to take precautions if they wished to remain unharmed. On top of that, he had fought that Mysterious Sea Glazed Beast for nearly half a month, which had been an enormous test of both willpower and Mental Power.

In the end, he had won. The other party had become his fourth Soul Ring, a stepping stone on his path to the pinnacle. That was the result Shen Hanyu had wanted.

Thinking back to eleven years ago, he had still lived on an azure planet. Born an orphan, he had been short on money during his university summer break and had been talked into going abroad to become a mercenary by his close friend. Yet he had never expected that he was a natural genius for that path, gaining a bit of a reputation in the circle in less than two months.

Then, just as the vacation ended and he was preparing to return home, a Tomahawk Missile suddenly blasted the abandoned building where his group was stationed into rubble. He himself had probably been blown straight into chunks of flesh.

When he opened his eyes again, he had directly transmigrated into a Chinese animated series he had watched in his previous life, "Love Continent." He had even become the older brother of Shen Liuyu, a supporting character and member of the Skywater Team. Not only did he have both parents, but his family was also quite well-known in a small local city.

Such a beginning did not fit the setting of a protagonist at all. Shen Hanyu did not have much of an opinion on it, simply living his days as usual while looking after his adorable Sister. His life was fairly carefree.

Who would have thought that when his Martial Soul awakened at the age of six, he would awaken a strange long spear—and possess the top-tier talent of Innate Full Soul Power.

His parents in this life had been so delighted that they had nearly held a grand banquet in celebration. Fortunately, they had retained their reason and had not told anyone about it. Even Spirit Hall, which had always been extremely sensitive toward geniuses, noticed nothing unusual.

Simply put, only four people in the world knew that he was a genius.

Shen Hanyu counted as one, Shen Hanyu's parents counted as two, and Shen Liuyu, who could barely be considered a young girl by then, counted as one.

That made exactly four people. There was naturally no need to worry about his family leaking the secret, which spared him quite a bit of trouble.

Because he greatly resisted the so-called Soul Master Academy, Shen Hanyu simply left a letter after breaking through to Soul Grandmaster at home, grabbed several tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins, and ran away. He only wrote a letter home once every month, enjoying his freedom.

After all, making a transmigrator attend some so-called Soul Master Academy with a bunch of children was truly unfair to Shen Hanyu, a handsome guy with the intelligence of a modern university student.

Of course, that was all in the past.
