Chao Tianxiang was immediately moved by Yu Xiaogang's ambition and said with a smile, "Alright, I wish you all the best. I believe the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will regret their decision today sooner or later."

"My name is Chao Tianxiang. If you have time in the future, you are welcome to visit the Beast City. I have some reputation there."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Yu Xiaogang's eyes. He had originally thought that the other party would continue to invite him to the Beast City, but he did not expect that his arrogant attitude would backfire.

He suppressed his disappointment and forced a smile, "Okay, my name is Yu Xiaogang. Hope to meet again someday."

Having said that, he turned and headed towards the city gate.

"Although he's a bit young, I have to say, he's a man of great courage."

Chao Tianxiang watched him leave, and couldn't help but sigh.

To avoid being caught by the familiar Spirit Hall knights and embarrassing himself again, Yu Xiaogang quickly slipped out of Spirit City.

Walking down the street, he felt his pocket and pulled out only a single Gold Soul Coin, then fell silent.

"Sigh, without the family's help, how am I supposed to live on this continent? Am I destined to barely survive as a mercenary?"

Yu Xiaogang thought of the Mercenary Guild established by the Starry Sky Sect, and the images of those dangerous missions flashed through his mind, leaving him feeling completely lost.

With no clear path ahead, Yu Xiaogang thought for a long time before making up his mind: if he really couldn't make it here, he would go to the Beast City and try to seek refuge with Chao Tianxiang.

This woman I just met seems to have a good impression of me.

There are two sides to the story.

The news that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had become the number one sect in the world spread like wildfire, sweeping across the entire Douluo Continent in just a few days.

The various Soul Master were abuzz with discussion, and the news spread like wildfire.

Yu Mingxiao stayed at the sect for a few days before leaving and heading to the Skywater Academy.

"Busy man, you finally have time to come see me? Over the past few years, I've made several trips to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, only to be told each time that you weren't in the sect," Shui Xiwei complained.

Yu Mingxiao asked in surprise, "There's such a thing? I didn't know that."

"Fine, I won't argue with you." Shui Xiwei eyes at him and said softly, "Congratulations to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for reaching the top and becoming the number one sect in the world."

Yu Mingxiao smiled faintly, "Thank you, but I didn't come to see you today just to hear your congratulations."

Shui Xiwei confusion, "What are you going to do? Have you finally come to confess your feelings to me?"

She and Yu Mingxiao had known each other for a long time, and their feelings for each other were ambiguous, but there was always a layer between them, preventing them from taking things further.

Her mother had always wanted to bring the two together and had specifically sought out Yu Yuanzhen to discuss the matter. However, Yu Yuanzhen respected Yu Mingxiao's own ideas, but Yu Mingxiao's whereabouts were unpredictable, and a suitable opportunity had not yet come.

It was precisely because of this ambiguous relationship between her and Yu Mingxiao that her mother directly rejected several families that came to discuss marriage alliances.

Yu Mingxiao: "..."

After a moment of silence, he changed the subject, "Do you know Dragon City?"

"Dragon City, the most important town in the northern border of the Heaven Dou Empire, why are you asking about this?" Shui Xiwei asked.

Yu Mingxiao said, "There's treasure there, which should be helpful to you. Come with me there."

"What treasure?" Shui Xiwei pressed.

Yu Mingxiao said, "It's a secret."

"Forget it, there's no point in asking." Shui Xiwei eyes at him, then said with a hint of coquettishness, "Then I'll go with you."

She pretended not to care, but deep down she was very curious about what this treasure was.

To be valued by Yu Mingxiao and called a treasure, it must be something extraordinary.

"Let's go then."

Yu Mingxiao smiled slightly, tore through space, and led her directly inside.

The next second, the environment around them suddenly changed; the place that was warm just moments before suddenly became bitterly cold.

Shui Xiwei possessed an ice-attribute Martial Soul, so she didn't feel the cold. She looked around, her face showing surprise. "Where is this? Could it be Dragon City?"

"You guessed right," Yu Mingxiao said.

Shui Xiwei said, "Mingxiao, tell me honestly, what is your current strength?"

Yu Mingxiao said calmly, "I can only say that no one on the continent is stronger than me."

"Really?" Shui Xiwei blinked her big eyes, her face full of surprise and doubt.

However, she did believe it to some extent, because in her memory, Yu Mingxiao never lied.

"Really?" Yu Mingxiao replied, then unleashed his spiritual power to investigate the environment of Dragon City.

The original purpose of building this city was to serve as a transit point and supply point for Soul Master from the mainland to hunt ice-type Soul Beast in the Far North.

Although the city's permanent population is not large, it is a city of great importance.

Ten thousand years later, two sects, the Sky Dragon Sect and the Earth Dragon Sect, emerged within Dragon City.

Huo Yuhao even used the ancient well in the backyard of the Earth Dragon Sect to go deep underground and found a cave filled with Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow.

Yu Mingxiao's purpose in coming here was precisely for this Myriad-Year Profound Ice Cave.

"Huh? Such a strong ice-attribute fluctuation. That place should be the location of the Myriad-Year Profound Ice Cave..." Yu Mingxiao's eyes lit up. He took Shui Xiwei's hand, and the space collapsed. The two of them disappeared from the empty rooftop in an instant.

When they reappeared, all they saw was a desolate, empty space.

Shui Xiwei, "Where is this? It feels much colder here than where we were before."

Yu Mingxiao explained, "This is normal. There's a cold spring hidden underground, and ice-attribute rare and precious materials grow around it. It's because of these treasures that this area has such a low temperature."

The current timeline is before Tang San's birth, and the Earth Dragon Sect has not yet been established, so naturally no wells have been dug. It is not surprising that this place is empty.

Perhaps the later leader of the Earth Dragon Sect was drawn to this place by its strange chill, which is why he chose to establish his sect here.

"An ice-attribute rare treasure?" Shui Xiwei's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Then how do we get underground?"

"That's simple, just smash it open." Yu Mingxiao raised his hand, gesturing for her to retreat to a safe area.

"Smash it, smash it open?" Shui Xiwei taken aback, but still obediently retreated several dozen meters.

Yu Mingxiao's eyes narrowed, he locked onto the location, and punched the ground.

A thunderous roar resounded, and the earth exploded, creating a huge crater, sending debris flying and dust billowing everywhere.

He channeled his Soul Power to dispel all the lingering smoke and dust.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the surroundings were a mess, and the cold spring at the bottom of the pit came into view.

Shui Xiwei breath and exclaimed in amazement, "This power is truly astonishing!"

Yu Mingxiao smiled slightly, sensed the temperature underground, and said, "Let's go down."

"Okay, okay," Shui Xiwei replied obediently.

The two of them jumped into the icy spring together, and a bone-chilling cold current rushed towards them.

"Hiss, it's so cold. How can it be this cold here?" Shui Xiwei back and instinctively hid behind Yu Mingxiao. Even she, who possessed the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, couldn't withstand the chill.
