Martial Soul: Heavenly Snow Woman, Level Sixty-Five Soul Emperor!

"Who are these people?" Du Weilun asked.

Dai Huabin pulled up a chair and sat down, gesturing with his chin towards the three people behind him.

"Director Du, these two are my friends." He pointed to Ice Empress and Snow Empress, "Bing Hanyue and Xue Qingyao, sisters."

Du Weilun's gaze swept between Ice Empress and Snow Empress.

Ice Empress, with her emerald green twin ponytails and orange-gold eyes darting around, was curiously examining the several Soul Beast illustrations hanging on the office wall.

Snow Empress stood ramrod straight, her white hair falling to her ankles, her sky-blue pupils looking over calmly, her whole demeanor cold and aloof.

The two people standing together were very different; one was lively, the other aloof.

Du Weilun muttered to himself, "Are these two really sisters?"

"You know Zhu Lu," Dai Huabin added.

Du Weilun nodded. Of course he knew Zhu Lu; they were both about to enter their second year.

"Han Yue and Qing Yao are sisters, but their situation is somewhat special."

Dai Huabin leaned back in his chair.

"Han Yue doesn't have much talent for cultivation and isn't suitable for enrollment. However, she and Xue Qingyao are very close and don't want to be apart for even a moment. Therefore, I want Bing Hanyue to stay at the academy as an auditor and live with Xue Qingyao."

Upon hearing the words "has little talent for cultivation," Du Weilun's gaze involuntarily fell upon Ice Empress.

Ice Empress was looking at Dai Huabin with her lips pursed, as if she was dissatisfied with her comments about her talent.

And Ice Empress was thinking was true; she couldn't Simulation Martial Soul and Soul Ring, so that was all she could say. After all, Du Weilun, a mere Soul Douluo, couldn't discern her strength.

If one could discern her strength from the titles bestowed upon her by the Inner Academy, then the Ice Empress could also be considered the protector of the Snow Empress.

Although she couldn't Simulation Martial Soul and Soul Ring, the aura of Titled Douluo was undeniable.

Dai Huabin paused for a moment, then looked at Snow Empress. "As for Qing Yao, Director Du can test her strength."

Du Weilun raised an eyebrow.

He's been the dean of students for so many years and has seen plenty of geniuses, but Dai Huabin never exaggerates for anyone.

If it's something that makes him make a special trip, it must be pretty good.

"Miss Snow, would you mind showing me?" Du Weilun stood up from behind the table.

Snow Empress glanced at Dai Huabin.

Dai Huabin nodded slightly.

Snow Empress took a step forward, her hands hanging naturally at her sides. She made no unnecessary movements, not even a change in her breathing.

The Soul Ring lit up.

Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black.

Six Soul Ring rose one after another from beneath her feet, neatly encircling her body.

The three black Soul Ring, each at least ten thousand years old, emitted a dense fluctuation of Soul Power, causing the temperature in the office to drop by more than ten degrees Celsius in an instant.

A thin layer of ice had formed on the surface of the teacup on Du Weilun's table.

Du Weilun's smile froze.

He stared at the six Soul Rings, and his mind went blank for a moment.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

Six-Ring Soul Emperor.

Dai Huabin brought a girl who looked no more than eighteen years old and told him that she was his friend and wanted to attend Shrek Academy.

And this girl is Six-Ring Soul Emperor.

Du Weilun opened his mouth.

He had been the dean of students for over twenty years and had seen a whole host of extraordinary geniuses, but this was a Six-Ring Soul Emperor who was only around eighteen years old.

No, even if the age limit is relaxed further, there are only a handful of Soul Emperor level experts under the age of twenty in the entire Douluo Continent.

"What..."

Du Weilun's voice was a little dry.

"She's actually Soul Emperor?"

Dai Huabin sat firmly in the chair, his arms crossed over his chest, his expression calm.

Du Weilun took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

However, the Snow Empress showed no intention of taking back the Soul Ring.

"Martial Soul Heavenly Snow Woman"

She spoke, her voice cold and clear, "Level 65 Soul Emperor, Ultimate Ice."

When the last four words were uttered, Du Weilun's expression completely changed.

The Ultimate Ice.

The significance of these four words in the Soul Master World is something every Soul Master knows all too well.

Du Weilun unconsciously took a half step back.

It wasn't out of fear, but because the icy Soul Power released when Snow Empress released her Soul Ring was too pure. That coldness wasn't just ordinary low temperature, but a bone-chilling sensation that seeped from the very marrow of one's bones.

Even though he was Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Such Ultimate Ice is unparalleled, not only among students but also among the entire faculty of the Shrek Academy.

The Snow Empress withdrew her Soul Ring.

The temperature in the office was slowly rising, and the ice in the teacup on Du Weilun's desk was melting, with water droplets trickling down the sides of the cup.

These Soul Ring were the result of Dai Huabin's prior instructions.

Previously, Dai Huabin had specifically instructed Snow Empress: the Soul Ring should not be too extravagant, the more ordinary the better.

After the Snow Empress transformed into human form, the 700,000-year-old essence within her body was far from being fully digested. If she were to display her true strength, the age of her Soul Ring would probably be terrifying.

The combination of two yellow, two purple, and two black was too ordinary, so Snow Empress ultimately chose a combination of yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, which was the lowest possible combination she could manage.

Even so, the three millennia-old black rings combined with the Ultimate Ice are already quite awe-inspiring.

In the future, after the Snow Empress grows up, the excess essence within her body can still increase the age of the previous Soul Ring.

Conservatively speaking, getting five black and one red Soul Ring out of the first six should be no problem.

Du Weilun returned to his table, sat down, picked up the half-frozen tea, took a sip, and tried to calm himself down.

"Snow Maiden, do you want to join Shrek?"

"Um."

Snow Empress nodded, then added a sentence.

"If I can't be in the same class as Huabin, then I won't Shrek."

Du Weilun nearly spat out his tea.

He looked at Dai Huabin.

Dai Huabin shrugged, his face showing an expression that said, "I can't do anything about it."

Du Weilun's heart churned.

A level 65 Ice Soul Emperor, the Ultimate Ice Soul Emperor, voluntarily requests to the Shrek Academy —this would be an incredible stroke of luck under any circumstances. But her condition is that she must be in the same class as Dai Huabin.

Second grade class?

A Soul Emperor attending a second-year class?

This is overkill.

"Huabin," Du Weilun put down his teacup, "Do you know how outrageous this request is?"

"I know."

"Then why..."

"Director Du, I can't make that decision."

Dai Huabin shrugged.

"It was Qingyao's own idea. Her and Han Yue's situations are rather special; they are both from reclusive families in the Far North. Coming to Shrek was my suggestion, but whether she agrees and what her conditions are are up to her."

Ice Empress finally chimed in:

"Yes, Xue'er is stubborn; if she says she won't come, she really won't."

Snow Empress glanced at her but did not deny it.

Du Weilun rubbed his temples.

This exceeded his authority.

The fact that a Soul Emperor can enroll with the special attribute of Ultimate Ice is not something that a mere headmaster can decide on his own.

"I see." Du Weilun stood up. "I need to consult the dean. Please wait here."

Du Weilun strode out of the office, his steps much faster than usual.

After the door closed, Ice Empress leaned close to Dai Huabin's ear and whispered, "Was he scared?"

"Nonsense, Xue'er is the Ultimate Ice! That's Ultimate Attribute Soul Master that hasn't appeared in many years. I reckon once we enter the Inner Academy, Xue'er will be in high demand as a disciple."

Dai Huabin explained in a low voice.

Zhu Lu stood in the corner, not saying a word since earlier.

She looked at Snow Empress's back as she stood in the center of the office. Her white hair cascaded down her back, and her posture was upright. Even just standing there casually, she exuded a composure that did not belong to her age.

Level 65 Soul Emperor.

Zhu Lu silently repeated the number in her mind, her fingers unconsciously clenching.

Gap.

She felt that gap again.

Dai Huabin seemed to sense something, turned his head to look at her, and gently patted the back of her hand twice.

Zhu Lu was taken aback, then loosened her clenched fingers, shook her head slightly at him, indicating that she was alright.

About fifteen minutes later.

The office door reopened.

Du Weilun walked in front, followed by a person.

The man appeared to be about fifty years old, of medium build and rather thin, wearing a dark blue robe, with gray hair that was neatly combed.

Yan Shaozhe, Dean of the Martial Soul Department at the Shrek Academy.
