Soul Bone Skill: Ice Explosion! Level 53, Shui Bing'er Becomes Azure Luan's Disciple?

A moment later, Shui Bing'er successfully completed the absorption.

Shui Bing'er opened her eyes, a flash of emerald light vanishing within them as the cold air radiating from her body became even more concentrated.

"Level fifty-three!"

Shui Yue'er shrieked, her entire being feeling numb.

"Half a month, from level forty-one to level fifty-three... Sister, you aren't cultivating anymore, you're flying!"

As Shui Yue'er spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Huang Yan.

If only she had known... How wonderful it would have been if she had been the one taken away back then!

The Skywater Dean was also stunned, her face blank; such a rate of improvement was likely unheard of in the entire history of the soul master world.

"Brother Yan, this soul bone..."

Shui Bing'er stood up, her eyes filled with shock and pleasant surprise.

"The soul skill it granted me is simply beyond my comprehension."

"Oh?"

Huang Yan said with keen interest.

"If it can shock even you, it seems this soul skill is quite extraordinary."

Could it really be Ice Explosion?

"It's called 'Ice Explosion'."

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, calming the emotions in her heart.

"This is a terrifying skill. It requires freezing the target completely first, filling their body with the energy of Ultimate Ice. Then, I can trigger a violent chain reaction between the target's own energy and the ice within them, detonating them instantly!"

"Detonating the target?"

Xue Wu was stunned as she listened.

"But what if the opponent is very strong?"

"That is the most terrifying part."

Shui Bing'er explained:

"The stronger the target, the more massive the energy accumulated within their body, and the more terrifying the power of the explosion! If I can use my left leg to make contact and inject the power of Ice Explosion directly, the power will increase exponentially. This skill... it's practically born for group battles and challenging those of higher ranks."

"Hiss—"

The Skywater Dean drew a sharp breath, her voice trembling.

"You mean, the stronger the opponent, the harder they explode? This isn't just a soul skill, it's a divine skill!"

Huang Yan was also slightly startled; he hadn't expected this twenty-five-thousand-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion to actually yield "Ice Explosion."

In the original story, this was a unique, innate talent of the Ice Empress's lineage, extremely rare to appear. However, this Ice Jade Scorpion also possessed the Ultimate Ice attribute. It wasn't entirely strange that it could drop Ice Explosion.

"It seems this Ice Jade Scorpion's bloodline was extremely pure."

Huang Yan smiled and ruffled Shui Bing'er's hair.

"Bing'er, with this soul skill, combined with your Ultimate Ice, you likely have no rivals below the Soul Saint level. Even if you encounter a Soul Douluo, as long as you seize the opportunity to freeze them, they will be stripped of a layer of skin."

"This is all thanks to Brother Yan."

Shui Bing'er looked at Huang Yan with eyes as tender as water, secretly swearing in her heart that she would stay by this man's side for the rest of her life.

"Alright, don't just focus on being happy."

Huang Yan turned to look at Xue Wu, who was still standing there in a daze.

"The next task is to find a soul ring for Xue Wu. Bing'er, since this Far North is now your 'home turf,' it's up to you."

"No problem!"

Shui Bing'er smiled confidently, and the aura of Ultimate Ice instantly spread out.

"Xue Wu, come with me. I've just sensed a few decent little ones."

Guided by the aura of Shui Bing'er's Ultimate Ice.

The group soon found a four-thousand-year-old Snow Spirit Fox on the edge of the inner perimeter.

With Shui Bing'er's assistance, Xue Wu easily struck it down. As the soul ring absorption concluded, her soul power successfully broke through to level forty-one.

With the soul hunting finished, the time had come for the two parties to part ways.

"Sister, are you really not coming back to the academy with us?"

Shui Yue'er tugged at Shui Bing'er's sleeve, her eyes filled with reluctance.

She even snuck a glance at Huang Yan, seemingly hoping he might show mercy and let her go.

Shui Bing'er hugged her sister gently and patted Xue Wu on the shoulder, her tone soft yet resolute:

"Yue'er, Xue Wu, I am going to Martial Soul City with Brother Yan.

I am no longer just a student of Skywater Academy; I am his lover.

You must train hard after returning to the academy. We will meet again at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."

"Alright... then you must take good care of yourself."

Xue Wu's eyes also turned red.

Shui Bing'er stepped back to Huang Yan's side and bowed slightly to the Skywater Dean.

Then, she turned resolutely and followed Huang Yan and Azure Luan Douluo away.

This scene, witnessed by Azure Luan Douluo, made him nod to himself.

He had originally worried that Shui Bing'er had been taken by force and might harbor resentment, or perhaps even waver upon seeing her old friends.

But now it seemed this girl not only knew right from wrong but was also devoted to Huang Yan; her character was truly rare.

The three traveled for a distance, and once the figures of the Skywater Academy group had completely vanished from sight, Azure Luan Douluo suddenly stopped.

Huang Yan and Shui Bing'er looked at him with curiosity.

"Teacher, what is it?"

Huang Yan asked.

Azure Luan Douluo turned around, his gaze deep as he looked at Shui Bing'er, revealing a rare, kindly smile:

"Bing'er, I have seen your performance over these days.

Your talent, character, and devotion to Yan'er are all impeccable.

In my life, I have only taken Yan'er as my disciple, but seeing how excellent you are, I have developed a desire to nurture such talent."

Shui Bing'er was stunned, her heartbeat quickening.

"What does Teacher mean?"

Huang Yan's heart stirred, having already guessed a portion of it.

Azure Luan Douluo stood with his hands behind his back, speaking solemnly:

"Bing'er, are you willing to formally enter my tutelage and become my second personal disciple?

From now on, you and Yan'er will not only be partners but also fellow disciples. I will certainly teach you everything I know."

Shui Bing'er was filled with immense surprise. Previously, when she called him "Teacher" following Huang Yan, it was more out of respect for her partner.

Now, receiving the recognition of this peak Douluo meant something entirely different.

She bowed gracefully without hesitation, her voice crisp and pleasant:

"Disciple Shui Bing'er, greets Teacher!"

"Haha, good!

Good!"

Azure Luan Douluo laughed heartily and personally helped Shui Bing'er up.

"Yan'er, you brat, your eye for people is quite good. You've found me a fine disciple!"

Azure Luan Douluo looked at the pair before him, feeling immensely satisfied, and waved his sleeve to disperse the surrounding wind and snow:

"Our harvest this time has exceeded expectations.

Yan'er, Bing'er, it is time for us to set off for Martial Soul City.

I am thinking of finding Second Brother for a proper spar when we return.

I want to see who is the second strongest in Martial Soul Hall now!"

"We follow Teacher's arrangements."

Huang Yan held Shui Bing'er's hand and smiled.

"Coincidentally, I also want to see to what extent Bing'er can reach in the Mimicry Training Ground of Martial Soul City when combined with her Ultimate Ice."

Shui Bing'er stood obediently by Huang Yan's side, her eyes filled with longing for the future:

"I will work hard and will never lose face for Teacher or Brother Yan."

On the other side, on the road out of the Far North, the Skywater Academy team appeared somewhat silent.

Shui Yue'er walked at the back of the group, looking back every few steps, her heart in a state of turmoil.
