Ice Empress Enters the Ranking

The golden words containing information about Shui Bing'er vanished from the Heavenly Ranking.

However, no one at Qingyun Academy was looking at the Heavenly Ranking.

They were all looking at Shui Bing'er.

She was doing her best to adapt to the Ultimate Ice.

Trying hard to gain control over the Ultimate Ice.

After all, the Ultimate Ice was far too violent and extremely difficult to control.

Shui Bing'er had also spent some time before she could barely bring it under control.

She drew all the Ultimate Ice back into her body.

Everything returned to normal.

With a wave of her hand, those ice arrows vanished in an instant.

The golden barrier vanished as well.

Everything returned to normal.

"Wow... Bing'er, your Ultimate Ice is really powerful!"

Ning Rongrong was filled with envy. Although she had learned the Fireball Technique, and its attack power was also formidable, the might of the Ultimate Ice still left her speechless.

"Mm, its power is quite good. I even want to spar with Bing'er!"

Wang Xia'er looked excitedly at Shui Bing'er. She wanted to know whether Ultimate Strength or Ultimate Ice was stronger.

"Sure!"

Shui Bing'er accepted Wang Xia'er's suggestion, then paused before saying:

"However, you just ate an Immortal Herb, so your rank is the same as mine—level sixty. But you haven't cultivated Spells, Daoist Arts, or a Cultivation Technique... Are you sure you want to spar with me? You'll be at a disadvantage!"

"Mm! Are these Spells, Daoist Arts, and Cultivation Techniques powerful? I haven't even looked at them yet!"

Wang Xia'er asked curiously, "How about we give it a try?"

"Then let's try!"

Shui Bing'er immediately retreated several steps.

Hearing this, the others also backed away and cleared an open patch of grass for Shui Bing'er and Wang Xia'er.

"Ice Arrow Art!"

Shui Bing'er suddenly formed hand seals with both hands. Frigid energy swirled around her body, and the moment the Ultimate Ice appeared, crackling sounds of freezing rang out all around them.

A thick layer of frost spread across the surroundings, and the temperature rapidly plummeted.

The cold energy flew behind her and formed ice arrows after ice arrows. They floated in midair, aimed directly at Wang Xia'er.

There were dozens of those ice arrows.

They radiated extreme cold.

Even the breath exhaled by the others became white mist. They could feel the terrifying chill carried by every ice arrow.

If one were struck or even grazed, wouldn't they be frozen solid?

Wang Xia'er had not expected this to be the power of Spells and formations.

It felt somewhat too powerful.

She had originally planned to receive the other party's ice arrows barehanded.

She had not expected their power to be so great.

This shocked her somewhat. Spells could actually amplify the power of Ultimate Ice.

No wonder Shui Bing'er said I would be at a disadvantage without learning Spells.

"Buzzz..." She took out a spear from her storage Soul Tool. It radiated dense life energy, and both ends of the spear were pointed. Wang Xia'er's originally icy aura suddenly turned razor-sharp.

"Whoosh..."

She swung her spear and rapidly charged toward the dense barrage of ice arrows shooting at her.

"Clang, clang..."

Every strike was incredibly fast, her movements graceful yet forceful.

"Bang, bang..."

The ice arrows were extremely hard, like iron arrows.

The impacts made Wang Xia'er's expression change slightly. She had not expected Shui Bing'er's attacks to be so fierce.

Her hands gripping the spear throbbed with pain.

She could not help letting out a roar. "Roar..." A dragon's cry rang out from the spear in her hands.

"Bang, bang..."

The farther Wang Xia'er advanced, the more ferocious she found the ice arrows to be.

She could no longer keep up with their speed.

"Pfft..." Her clothes were pierced by the ice arrows.

Her hair was severed.

Extreme cold invaded her body through her wounds.

"Whoosh..." She suddenly dodged and retreated.

The invading extreme cold within her body was forced out by the power of life.

Her wounds also healed quickly.

But Shui Bing'er withdrew her hand, and the ice arrows vanished one after another.

"Alright... no more fighting! Once Wang Xia'er learns Spells, Daoist Arts, and spear techniques, we can spar again!"

Shui Bing'er could tell that the spear in Wang Xia'er's hand was extraordinary, definitely no ordinary item.

"Alright!" Wang Xia'er felt that Shui Bing'er was quite admirable. Rather than pressing her advantage, she had stopped at the right moment.

It seemed she had not come to the wrong place. These Spells, Daoist Arts, and Cultivation Techniques really were impressive.

She had experienced it firsthand. "I will properly cultivate the Spells, Daoist Arts, and Cultivation Techniques the headmaster gave me!"

"Mm! Are you alright?"

Shui Bing'er nodded and came before Wang Xia'er. Seeing that the wounds on her body had all healed, she truly was worthy of being an Auspicious Beast.

"I'm fine, thank you!"

A smile appeared on Wang Xia'er's cool face as well.

After that little interlude, they all looked up at the sky.

"Buzzz..."

Golden light shone brilliantly from the Heavenly Ranking.

A golden rune swirled around it.

It looked immensely mysterious and majestic.

Lines of golden words slowly formed.

[Beauty Ranking: Tied for Eighth Place: Ice Empress]

[Affiliation: Extreme North]

[Beauty: 97.5]

[Evaluation: Ice Empress, ranked second among the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North, was a 390,000-year-old soul beast, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion.

After taking human form, she possessed a charmingly pretty face, and her beauty could be described as cold and breathtaking.

Her exquisite, picturesque features made her seem like an ice fairy descending into the mortal world.

Her figure was tall and perfect, with nine-head proportions.

She had long dark-green hair cascading down her back.

Yet her skin was as white as ice and snow, with a translucent texture. Beneath it, a faint jade glow flowed.

Her temperament was also extraordinary and refined.

Therefore, she was worthy of entering the ranking.]

[Reward: Cultivation age increased by 120,000 years, temperament +30, charm +30, one copy of the Mystic Ice Technique.]

"Uh... There was actually a 390,000-year-old soul beast in the Extreme North, and she was so beautiful after taking human form!"

Ning Rongrong stared at the Heavenly Ranking's information in astonishment, her beautiful eyes wide open.

"Isn't the Extreme North an endless snowfield? There was actually such a powerful soul beast there! I really didn't expect that!"

Shui Bing'er was equally surprised.

"It seems there are still many places on Douluo Continent that we humans have never set foot in. Naturally, we don't know what soul beasts exist there!"

Dugu Yan said.

"Moreover, this Ice Empress was only ranked second among the Three Great Heavenly Kings! That meant there were even more powerful ice-attributed soul beasts!"

Cheng Yaojin was rather surprised as he looked toward Headmaster Lu Xia beside him.

Headmaster Lu Xia was quite calm, a faint smile on his face. Faced with information that had shocked the entire continent, he seemed to have known it all along.

It did not stir much emotion in his heart at all.

"Headmaster, did you know about the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North?" Cheng Yaojin asked curiously.

"Of course. The first Heavenly King is Snow Empress, the second is Ice Empress, and the third is the Titan Snow Demon King."

Lu Xia answered with the same calm confidence.

His words were as refreshing as a spring breeze, making them feel very comfortable listening to him.

"Alright!" Cheng Yaojin was convinced. He still believed the headmaster's words.

He had never doubted them, because the headmaster's words always came true.

"The headmaster is amazing, he knows everything!"

"The headmaster is handsome and capable of anything!"

Those beautiful young girls all praised Lu Xia, each of them admiring him greatly.

Lu Xia felt delighted inside. This kind of life really was wonderful.

[Ding, Faith Value +20]

[Faith Value +10]

[Faith Value +30]

His Faith Value had increased by one hundred points all at once. That was truly not bad.

Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes widened slightly when she saw the information on the Heavenly Ranking.

She had not expected another tied ranking.

And it was a 390,000-year-old ice-attributed soul beast from the Extreme North.

This surprised her.

After all, Spirit Hall's records had never mentioned powerful soul beasts in the Extreme North.

The Heavenly Ranking had revealed some previously unknown soul beasts of the Extreme North to the people.

"A cultivation age increase of 120,000 years... Wouldn't that make Ice Empress a 510,000-year-old soul beast?"

Hu Liena was stunned. She had previously thought that 100,000-year-old soul beasts were the peak, the strongest soul beasts.

Now, soul beasts hundreds of thousands of years old were appearing one after another, leaving her somewhat numb.
