Dugu Yan watched as the colors of her first and second Soul Rings changed from yellow to purple.
The purple of her third Soul Ring also deepened.
The black of her fourth and fifth Soul Rings became slightly deeper.
All of her Soul Rings had gained a thousand years of age.
Dugu Yan felt the Soul Power throughout her body surge wildly.
Making it onto the Heavenly Ranking really came with countless benefits.
It would have taken her at least half a year to a year and a half to reach level sixty.
But now, the time had been shortened considerably, and her Soul Ring ages had also increased.
When she added her sixth Soul Ring, this would allow her Soul Power Level to rise by at least one additional level.
Just thinking about it put her in a wonderful mood.
And the Heavenly Ranking's rewards were not over yet.
She felt a mysterious new energy within her body.
She felt that she had become more charming.
Was this what it felt like to have something as intangible as charm enhanced?
And the power of her domain had also increased by 20%.
"Wow, Yanzi has become even prettier!"
Ning Rongrong saw that Dugu Yan had become more charming, radiating a special aura that made her seem beautiful and approachable.
Was this the effect of increased charm?
The others also agreed with Ning Rongrong's words.
Dugu Yan's face reddened at their praise. Extremely shy, she turned and ran away.
"Yanzi, show us your domain?"
Shui Bing'er said.
"I'm afraid I'll poison you all to death!"
Dugu Yan drew out her voice.
Shentu Ziye looked at Shui Bing'er.
"Bing'er, you've improved quickly lately! How are you doing with the Acupoint Striking Technique and the Ice Illusion Art?"
"Not bad!"
Shui Bing'er replied respectfully. Teacher Ziye taught her as though she were his disciple, and she was very grateful.
Of course, she was also learning the Ice Arrow Art, which Principal Lu Xia taught her.
"Freeze that wave."
Shentu Ziye waved his hand.
A three-meter-high wave surged across the lake's surface, accompanied by the sound of crashing water. "Splash, splash..."
Shui Bing'er formed hand seals with both hands as Soul Power surged through her body and gathered in her palms.
Icy Soul Power gathered before her.
It continuously compressed, forming an ice-blue phoenix wing three meters long.
"Whoosh..." With a swing of Shui Bing'er's hand, the enormous ice-blue wing violently slapped toward the huge wave.
It carried boundless cold air.
"Crack, crack..." In an instant, the huge wave froze, becoming an ice wave suspended by the shore.
"Wow, Bing'er is amazing!" Ning Rongrong had not expected Shui Bing'er to instantly freeze such a tall and massive wave.
"Clap, clap..." The others applauded as well.
Shui Bing'er did not become proud. Instead, she humbly said, "Thank you!"
"Crack..."
But the ice wave suddenly split apart, and water splashed everywhere.
Shentu Ziye abruptly raised a hand and opened his palm. "Whoosh, whoosh..." A stream of cold air surged forward.
The massive wave, like a burst dam, was frozen again.
"Bing'er... you haven't practiced enough! Form hand seals a thousand more times every day!"
Shentu Ziye sternly told Shui Bing'er, whose little face had gone slightly pale with shame.
"Yes!" Shui Bing'er obediently nodded.
"Ziye, you're being far too demanding! Can't you see everyone is watching the Beauty Ranking?"
Cheng Yaojin suddenly hurled a chicken leg at Shentu Ziye.
"Whoosh..."
The chicken leg flew incredibly fast, creating a sonic boom.
Shentu Ziye remained expressionless. Cold air swirled around him, and a round ice shield covered in spikes appeared before him.
"Boom..."
The chicken leg struck the ice shield, denting it and shattering it with spiderweb-like cracks. Ice fragments flew everywhere.
The chicken leg embedded itself directly into the shield.
"Ah!"
Zhu Zhuqing and the others all retreated.
In the students' eyes, these two teachers could not stand one another.
Shentu Ziye was extremely demanding and strict in everything he did.
Teacher Cheng Yaojin, however, was rough and unconventional in all things.
Their views differed, so they often got into arguments.
"Whoosh!"
Cheng Yaojin suddenly put away the wine in his hand.
The chicken leg he had thrown had already been shattered by Shentu Ziye and flew into the lake with the ice fragments to feed the fish.
"Ziye, you dared to feed my chicken leg to the fish!"
Cheng Yaojin's gaze turned icy. That was one of his favorite foods.
"Boom..." A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body and swept outward, shaking the entire lakeshore.
The ground groaned beneath the terrifying aura erupting from Cheng Yaojin, while the grass and trees bent flat.
Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others were driven back by that terrifying aura. Their hair and skirts flew wildly, and they could barely keep their eyes open.
Even standing upright was difficult for them.
"Mount Tai Pressing Down!"
Cheng Yaojin shouted. He planted his feet in a horse stance, bent at the waist, then shot into the sky with a powerful leap.
Carrying endless terrifying force, his body descended upon Shentu Ziye like a mountain.
"Crack, crack..."
Suddenly, cold air coiled around Shentu Ziye's body. His hair and clothes frosted over, and even the weeds on the ground froze.
At the instant Cheng Yaojin came crashing down from the sky.
"Bang..." A deafening explosion rang out.
An Ice Cone Mountain rose into the sky.
It protected Shentu Ziye within the Ice Cone Mountain.
Cheng Yaojin, carrying endless force, slammed into the Ice Cone Mountain.
"Boom..." With a tremendous crash, ice fragments scattered everywhere, lake water surged backward, and the earth shook.
The Ice Cone Mountain instantly shattered into pieces.
Countless shards of ice shot in every direction like bullets.
Zhu Zhuqing and the others' expressions changed slightly when they saw the ice fragments arrive before them in an instant.
They had nowhere to dodge, and terror filled their faces.
"Buzz..." Suddenly, a golden barrier enveloped the area around Shentu Ziye and Cheng Yaojin, separating the two of them.
It also shielded the beautiful women.
The exploding ice fragments and bursts of air were all blocked.
Cheng Yaojin floated in midair with his back against the golden light, above a cracked ice cone mountain.
Shentu Ziye beneath the ice cone mountain was also enveloped in golden light.
The two of them instantly became unable to move.
Even the ice chips were wrapped in golden light and suspended in the air.
It was as though time had stopped.
"Wow... how amazing!"
Ning Rongrong watched the scene before her, everything wrapped in golden light.
It was incredibly beautiful and dazzling.
Even they were enveloped in golden light.
"The principal is amazing!"
Zhu Zhuqing also felt that the golden light was exceptionally warm.
The other beautiful girls also gazed at Lu Xia with infatuated looks.
"Whoosh..." Lu Xia waved his hand.
Cheng Yaojin, Shentu Ziye, and the Ice Cone Mountain flew toward the lake not far away.
"If you want to fight, fight over the lake. Don't affect us while we're watching the Beauty Ranking!"
Lu Xia wore a faint smile as he picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
"Buzz..." The golden light vanished the next moment.
Cheng Yaojin and Shentu Ziye fell toward the lake.
Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, Shui Bing'er, and Ye Lingling were carried by the golden light to Lu Xia's side.
"Come have some tea. Today is a day off!"
Lu Xia poured each of them a cup of tea.
"Great!" Ning Rongrong was thrilled upon hearing that.
"Thank you, Principal!" Shui Bing'er was also excited. "What was that golden light of yours? It was so amazing!"
"It was just golden light!" Lu Xia pointed at the tea with a finger. "This tea is sweet! Drinking it will put you in a good mood!"
"Really?" Ning Rongrong had previously drunk the principal's tea and found it fragrant, but she did not particularly like it. If it was sweet, though, she could give it a try.
She immediately picked it up and took a sip. "Wow, drinking it instantly makes me feel wonderful!"
The other beautiful girls also picked up their tea and drank.
The sky also began to change.
Golden light stretched ten thousand zhang.
One golden character after another appeared.
