Skywater Academy's Forbidden Zone for Men? I Insist on Taking a Look!

In this dead-end alley on North Street in Skywater City, the air was so cold it seemed to freeze.

A layer of white frost had accumulated on the wet bluestone pavement.

The night wind blew in through the narrow cracks in the wall, stirring up a few icy shards.

Shui Bing'er's face was as pale as snow as she shielded her younger sister Shui Yue'er, behind her.

Ye Qing's calm and composed demeanor thoroughly enraged the middle-aged man blocking the alley entrance.

The man had a hideous scar across his face, and five Soul Ring swirled around his body, indicating that he was Soul King with a cultivation level of over fifty.

"Where did this pretentious brat come from!"

"Stop playing tricks on me!"

"How dare you show your face and ruin my plans! I'll kill you and him too!"

The fourth Purple Soul Ring on the Scarface Soul King's body suddenly burst forth with a strong light.

A heavy, mountain-like aura burst forth, scraping several deep ravines into the soft brick walls on both sides of the alley entrance.

Behind him,

A massive, mountain-like black bear phantom roared and materialized, radiating a ferocious, predatory aura.

Using the momentum of his Soul Skill, Scarface roared and leaped into the air.

The bear paw, the size of a sand bowl, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air, slammed down towards Ye Qing's face!

This strike embodied the full power of a five-ringed Battle Soul King.

The sheer force of the wind it generated was terrifying.

Shui Bing'er's pupils suddenly contracted, and she couldn't help but cry out in alarm, "Watch out!"

Faced with this deadly blow that could split mountains and shatter rocks, Ye Qing, standing in the middle of the stone bridge, didn't even lift his eyelids.

He did not back down.

He also did not summon his own Martial Soul.

The ferocious bear paw was only three feet away from his face.

The young man simply raised his right hand with great composure and flicked his index finger forward lightly.

A faint, almost imperceptible, bluish-green glint pierced the air from his fingertips.

The entire space seemed to be forcibly stripped of its temperature in that instant, falling into an eerie stillness.

The unstoppable, mid-air attacking phantom of the black bear, along with the fierce and arrogant expression on the face of the Scarface Soul King, was completely frozen in mid-air.

"Click!"

A teeth-grinding cracking sound broke the silence.

The biting cold, originating from the stone bridge, spread rapidly across the ground and into the air.

Before the scarred Soul King could even let out a scream, his blood and Soul Power were frozen by the extreme cold.

A layer of deep, inky-black, crystalline ice quickly covered his entire body, completely enveloping him.

Moonlight streamed down.

The originally ferocious and tyrannical Five-Ring Battle Soul King

It has now transformed into a lifelike ice sculpture.

Even the curve of the hem of her clothes being lifted was perfectly captured.

The world fell into an eerie silence.

The other two Soul King, who were hiding in the shadows hoping to take advantage of the chaos, almost popped their eyes out of their sockets.

With a flick of the fingertip, a level 50+ Battle Soul King, possessing both high defense and attack power, was frozen into a lifeless ice statue?

Where on earth did this monster come from?

"This!"

Shui Bing'er slightly parted her lips.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with shock and fear from the depths of her soul, and her delicate body heaved uncontrollably.

This chilling aura is absolutely supreme and domineering, surpassing all ice elements in the world!

In her perception,

The purity of the ice and snow that the opponent just displayed was even a thousand times purer than my top-tier Beast Martial Soul, the Ice Phoenix!

Shui Yue'er, who was hiding behind her, was terrified and turned pale.

She clung tightly to her sister's legs, her eyes wide with disbelief.

"My God!"

"Sister... is this person a deity descended from heaven?"

The remaining two Soul King were already terrified, and dared not harbor even the slightest greed for the Soul Bone.

Run!

"Damn it, we've really messed up this time!"

The two wished their parents could give them two more legs, and they ran wildly out of the alley.

Ye Qing stood on the stone bridge, gently waving her folding fan, and let out a soft sigh.

"You've ruined my enjoyment of the play. Is it too late to leave now?"

He gently flipped his palm over.

A wisp of invisible Cyan Flame swept through the dark alley like a gust of wind.

Extreme heat and extreme cold intertwine strangely at the microscopic level, stirring up an invisible fluctuation in the void.

The two Soul King, who were running wildly, suddenly froze.

They then realized that their leg muscles had suddenly lost sensation.

Mo Lan frost spread upwards from their feet, covering their limbs and bones in the blink of an eye.

In just two breaths, the two of them turned into cold statues.

Still in the comical posture of a hasty escape, it was nailed to the alley entrance.

Three of them are Five-Ring Soul King.

With a mere gesture, they vanished into thin air!

Ye Qing slowly withdrew his hand.

For him, killing three Soul King was merely a casual act.

He walked down the stone bridge step by step with unhurried steps.

It stopped in front of the two sisters, who were still in shock.

The chilling aura that had been raging through the alley quietly receded.

Shui Bing'er swallowed hard.

Forcibly suppressing the turmoil surging within him, he bowed deeply to the black-robed youth before him.

"Shui Bing'er from the Skywater Academy, thank you so much for saving my life, senior!"

In her opinion,

A person who possesses such astonishing methods,

It must be some reclusive, supreme old monster, or an unparalleled genius cultivated by a top-tier power.

Calling him "senior" is absolutely no exaggeration.

Seeing Shui Bing'er's extremely respectful demeanor, Ye Qing couldn't help but want to laugh.

senior?

I'm clearly not even that much older than them, so why am I being called an old man?

However, in order to maintain his mysterious and unpredictable image, Ye Qing did not interrupt.

He closed his folding fan and gently lifted Shui Bing'er's chin with the tip of the fan rib.

The clear moonlight shone down, illuminating Shui Bing'er's exquisite yet somewhat pale face.

Shui Bing'er's delicate body trembled slightly.

A tempting blush quickly crept onto her fair cheeks.

But faced with an absolute disparity in strength, she dared not offer the slightest resistance.

"Saving you was just something I did on a whim."

Ye Qing spoke leisurely, her voice clear and magnetic.

"As I just mentioned, your Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone contains extremely violent ice elemental energy."

"With your current meager cultivation level, if you dare to force the fusion, the only outcome will be your body exploding and you dying."

Upon hearing this,

Shui Bing'er bit her cherry-red lips tightly.

A deep sense of resentment flashed in her beautiful eyes.

In order to improve their strength before the All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academy.

Skywater Academy spent a considerable amount of its savings to purchase this Soul Bone at the auction.

Could it be that the treasure we obtained with such difficulty is ultimately just a poison we can see but cannot taste?

"Senior, is there really no solution?"

Shui Bing'er lowered her eyes, her voice low and delicate, carrying a hint of desolate pleading.

Ye Qing's lips curled up slightly; she had been waiting for these words.

He put the folding fan away.

"There are solutions, of course."

"Looking across this continent, only I can help you quell the remaining violent will within your Soul Bone and guide the cold energy to soothe your entire body's meridians."

"As long as I intervene, I guarantee you'll fuse with this Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone unharmed."

Shui Bing'er's delicate body trembled violently.

His previously dull eyes suddenly burst forth with dazzling light!

For her at this moment, this is nothing short of a tremendous stroke of luck that will rewrite her destiny.

"Senior, is this really true?!"

Shui Bing'er's breathing quickened, and her heartbeat was clearly audible in the quiet night.

"Of course it's true, but..."

Ye Qing extended a finger and gently shook it.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

"If you want me to help you fuse the Soul Bone, that's fine."

"But I've heard that the frozen lake behind the Skywater Academy has beautiful scenery. Take me there for a short stroll, and the deal will be done."

Ice Lake behind the Skywater Academy?

Shui Bing'er froze on the spot.

That frozen lake wasn't considered a forbidden area within the academy.

Aside from the slightly lower water temperature, there's nothing particularly special about it.

Why is this mysterious and powerful figure particularly interested in that place?

However, Skywater Academy has always only admitted female students.

No man has ever been allowed to set foot on the back mountain.

But then she thought about it again.

The young man before them was not only their savior, but his strength was also terrifyingly high.

If the other party truly harbored ill intentions, they wouldn't have gone out of their way to find me.

Thinking of this, Shui Bing'er gritted her teeth and quickly made a decision.

"Good!"

"If you can help me resolve the hidden dangers in my Soul Bone, we are willing to personally lead you to the frozen lake in the back mountain!"

Shui Yue'er rubbed her big eyes, somewhat confused, and muttered to herself.

"What's there to see at the frozen lake behind the mountain...?"

"Besides a few hard, icy, and heavy rotten rocks buried at the bottom of the lake, there's absolutely nothing there."

Listening to Shui Yue'er's unintentional complaints, Ye Qing's smile behind his mask grew even wider.

Rotten rock?

That's no ordinary marble.

It is the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow, which is enough to make even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast fight to the death for it!

If he could acquire that entire nest of Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow, his trip to Skywater City would be incredibly profitable.

Ye Qing flicked his long sleeves. "Lead the way, Miss Shui."
