Let's Go Find the Heavenly Snow Woman
"No? Shrek Academy is famous in the Soul Beast Realm? I wouldn't say anything if you were in the Star Dou Great Forest, but you're saying you've heard of Shrek Academy in the Far North, a forbidden zone of life?"
Is there a problem?
Snow Empress was completely bewildered, not thinking there was anything wrong with what she had just said, and not understanding why Chen Yuan was so agitated.
She had previously killed some humans who had strayed into the Far North, and learned about the human world from some of their experiences, including the name of Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent.
She just couldn't quite remember how many years ago that happened.
Later, when she was imprisoned on the God Sealing Platform, she heard a lot about Shrek Academy. An academy that had been the top academy on the continent for so long must be quite impressive, right?
At least that's what Snow Empress thinks.
"There's a problem, a huge problem. What are you doing at Shrek if you have nothing better to do?"
"Study, so you can better integrate into your human world. Aren't humans social beings?"
"You're the Snow Empress!"
But I am human now.
Chen Yuan sighed, wondering if Snow Empress had lost her mind after transforming into human form. Oh well, she wasn't smart to begin with, otherwise she wouldn't have transformed alone and been captured by a Level 9 Soul Tool Master using the God Sealing Platform.
Although, this matter doesn't quite stand up to scrutiny.
"How about this, you don't need to go to the Shrek Academy for now. With your current understanding of the human world, you'd be easily sold out there. I'll show you a better way, how about that?"
Tell me about it.
Snow Empress was somewhat skeptical that this human would be so kind; in her mind, Chen Yuan was someone who wouldn't do anything without a profit.
Even though this human has his own bottom line and is better than other humans, it still cannot change Chen Yuan's image in her heart.
"Why don't you try looking for the Heavenly Snow Woman? From what I know, there are people who possess this martial Heavenly Snow Woman, it might even be an entire family."
"How is that possible? The Heavenly Snow Woman is a being born of nature, and I am the only one of her kind in the entire Far North. How could such a being appear as a martial soul in a human?"
Why would I lie to you? You have nothing worth lying about right now.
Chen Yuan still had a deep impression of Su Tong, the Heavenly Snow Woman who appeared during the second Sea God Fate, but the main reason was still the Snow Empress.
After all, the emergence of a martial soul possessor of the same race as the Snow Empress, one of only three possessors of Ultimate Martial Soul in the original work, makes it hard not to remember them, right?
The Snow Empress is ultimately still the Heavenly Snow Woman, but since there is only one known Heavenly Snow Woman and Snow Empress Heavenly Snow Woman, the two are directly equated.
The Heavenly Snow Woman's martial soul is undoubtedly a super martial soul, and it is also the only one among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts in the original work whose martial soul naturally became someone else's.
Regardless of whether Snow Empress goes to find Su Tong and her family, Chen Yuan will not allow her to go to the Shrek Academy during this period.
Shrek Academy's brainwashing ability is the best on the entire continent. What if Snow Empress later becomes a real Shrek person?
In that case, Chen Yuan felt he might as well kill Snow Empress now, as that would be a waste of the thirteen strands of ten-thousand -Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Marrow that had shaped her body.
But it's still better than having another crazy enemy later on.
"According to your human mindset, shouldn't you take the opportunity to keep me by your side? Besides, you used thirteen strands of ten-thousand -Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Marrow to create my body. Are you really planning to let me go just like that?"
"If possible, I don't want to be your enemy; it would be best if we never stood on opposite sides."
"My goal has never changed. From the very beginning, all I wanted was your essence. As for you as a person—"
Chen Yuan scrutinized Snow Empress. He had to admit that Snow Empress was extremely beautiful, with white hair, blue eyes, and a cool and noble demeanor.
Moreover, according to the rules of the Douluo Continent, once Soul Beast Transformation and begins to cultivate again, it will fall in love with a Soul Beast if it senses the emotions of the human world.
Unless a male version of Ice Empress suddenly appears, Chen Yuan's chances of winning over the Snow Empress are currently higher than anyone else's.
"Snow Empress, I admit you are extremely beautiful. To say you are as beautiful as a fairy would not be an exaggeration. You are the most stunning woman I have ever seen in my life."
"But in the end, you are just a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor who has just entered human society. My journey ahead is very dangerous, and the place I am going to is a secret. My strength is far from enough to protect a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor at will."
"If I were stronger now, or if we were to meet again in the future, I would definitely invite you to travel with me."
Snow Empress looked intently at Chen Yuan's face, but saw no sign of lying. After hesitating for a while, she finally made up her mind.
"Very well! I accept your suggestion. The Heavenly Snow Woman family, I will remember this."
"Well, good luck. By the way, with your current age and strength, you can definitely get into an advanced Soul Master Academy, but I suggest you find a basic Soul Master Academy to start learning about the human world, since you probably don't even know how to read."
"Consider this map and two hundred Gold Soul Coin as my donation to you."
Chen Yuan handed over a card-shaped Storage Soul Tool that he had used a long time ago to Snow Empress.
Two hundred Gold Soul Coin would be enough for Snow Empress to use for a while; this was already the greatest sincerity he could offer. He couldn't just give tens of thousands of gold coins every time, could he?
With that money, Chen Yuan would be better off buying some cultivation resources for himself.
After bidding farewell to Snow Empress, Chen Yuan flew towards Heaven Dou City.
Sunset Forest is near Heaven Dou City, but it's quite a distance from this remote Dragon City.
Now that he has reached level 70, Chen Yuan naturally wants to reach the Soul Saint as soon as possible, so that his attack methods will not be so limited.
At least for ranged attacks, we no longer need to rely on the Pegasus Twin-Barrel Cannon; we can switch to Radiant Flame Strike instead.
I wonder if the Lion Fire Axe and Pegasus Twin-Barrel Cannon will still be usable after upgrading to the Ultimate Battle Dragon King.
"Dali Gu, are you ready to face our ultimate power?"
"Of Gulu, I can't wait!"
This time, Chen Yuan used the Galloping Pegasus Domain to maintain a maximum speed that he could accept throughout the entire process.
In just about a day, Chen Yuan saw Heaven Dou City.
Chen Yuan estimated that he would be staying inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for some time, so he needed to replenish his supplies.
Moreover, after spending more than a month in the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Cave, and then fighting with the Heavenly Dragon Douluo as soon as he came out, Chen Yuan was now eager to take a bath.
After taking a shower at the hotel, Chen Yuan decided to replenish his supplies later and head to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well tomorrow.
As soon as Chen Yuan left the hotel, he sensed that Heaven Dou City was unusually lively.
According to the residents of Heaven Dou City, Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul Empire is getting engaged, but no one knows the groom's name or identity.
Upon hearing this news, Chen Yuan knew that the Body Sect had already reached an agreement with the Heavenly Soul Empire.
With her Body Martial Soul, Vina is practically the perfect candidate for a marriage alliance between the Body Sect and the Heaven Soul Imperial Family. The groom would naturally be Long Aotian, the Young Sect Master of the Body Sect.
Speaking of Long Aotian, he was a true genius in the Douluo II. Not only did he complete the Second Awakening of his Body Martial Soul at the Silver Grade at the age of twenty, but his cultivation also reached the Soul Saint level, and he even Over-Limit Soul Ring.
Compared to Xiao Hongchen, who was also taking drugs at the same time, and Yan Feng and Tang Ya, who were Evil Soul Master who could quickly improve their cultivation, Long Aotian was simply a breath of fresh air.
He was the only one who reached the Soul Saint solely through his own talent.
Unfortunately, the martial soul is just a skin. The skin martial soul is already very strong among the Body Martial Soul, after all, a person will die without a skin.
However, compared to other Body Martial Soul, the skin is relatively less advanced.
After a moment of reflection, Chen Yuan quickly bought what he needed in Heaven Dou City.
Just as Chen Yuan was about to return to the hotel, he suddenly saw Bei Bei and Tang Ya inside Heaven Dou City!
"Bei Bei!"
"Um?
Hearing Chen Yuan's voice, Bei Bei turned around in confusion, only to find that it really was Chen Yuan.
His face lit up with joy, an emotion no less than that of meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
Even Tang Ya was very happy. In the past, she and Chen Yuan would only nod to each other when they met, but Chen Yuan had helped her and Bei Bei solve their biggest problem. Tang Ya was very grateful to Chen Yuan now.
In Tang Ya's eyes, Chen Yuan was a much more reliable friend than Xu Sanshi.
"Chen Yuan! What are you doing in Heaven Dou City? Weren't you traveling across the continent? How come you've just arrived in Heaven Dou City? That's too much of a coincidence."
"What a coincidence to see you two here! What brings you to Heaven Dou City? How is Mu En's health?"
When Mu En was mentioned, Bei Bei felt a little heavy-hearted, but she didn't let her bad mood affect Chen Yuan.
"I'm afraid Mystic Ancestor doesn't have much time left. Xiao Ya and I came to Heaven Dou City this time to fulfill Mystic Ancestor's dying wish."
"What is your wish? And do you and Tang Ya both need to come?"
"Avenge the Tang Sect."
Bei Bei's tone was full of determination and confidence.
He now possesses the Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul and is Soul King at level 53. If he still can't defeat the Iron Blood Sect Master, then Bei Bei will truly become a useless piece of trash.
"Just the two of you?"
"The Immortal Clan Head is secretly with us, but she will only intervene if we are in danger."
"The blood feud of the Tang Sect must be settled by the Tang Sect disciples themselves."
"Bei Bei, I understand your thoughts, but you should also understand that the Iron Blood Sect wasn't the only one that destroyed the Tang Sect."
"Yes, I understand that. If it weren't for the forces involved, Mystic Ancestor would have already taken action."
Chen Yuan didn't care about the Tang Sect's revenge against the Iron Blood Sect, or the reactions of the forces behind them, including the Heaven Soul Imperial Family.
The only thing he cared about was the Evil Soul Master who appeared in the original story in Heaven Dou City and abducted Tang Ya.
The anime version features Zhongli Wu himself, but neither the manga nor the novel uses his name. Therefore, Chen Yuan is skeptical about whether this Evil Soul Master will appear, or whether Xian Lin'er can protect Tang Ya and Bei Bei.
No matter who it is or what their name is, as long as they dare to show up, Chen Yuan will dare to fight them.
My current cultivation level is a bit insufficient, so I need to go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well first.
"How much time does Mu En have?"
"It'll be at least another six months, right? What's wrong? Are you going back to Shrek with us?"
"Whether we go back to Shrek Academy or not, we'll talk about that later. If you trust me, wait for me for a while. I'll go back and back you up, so no one will do anything rash."
