Ice Seal Forest

"Such vibrant life!"

In the center of the Ye Family's territory in ' Hundred Flowers Valley,' beneath a flowering tree over twenty meters tall, its branches and leaves forming a lush canopy, Ling Yi sincerely praised it. ★😝 🍬🐙

At this moment, Ye Jiaxin, the head of the Ye Family, is holding a bright pink begonia flower with her palms facing up.

White and pink petals shimmered, and soft leaves and tendrils slid down from either side of fair hands. A gentle breeze blew by, and the drooping petals swayed like the flowing hair of a beautiful woman, their charm captivating.

Compared to Ye Lingling, who appears in future episodes, Ye Jiaxin's talent is clearly much better.

At just over forty years old, he is already a level 75 Soul Saint. With this talent, as long as he doesn't perish unexpectedly along the way, he has a very high chance of becoming a Titled Douluo, a Healing System Titled Douluo, within thirty years at most!

However, in the original timeline, perhaps because the description of "Nine Heart Begonia" when it first appeared was too powerful, it was made to disappear halfway through the story for the sake of the plot.

The Ice Seal Forest is a massive coniferous forest stretching between the northern edge of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Land of the Far North. Its area is not much smaller than the Star Dou Great Forest. Most importantly, it has an extremely long east-west span, connecting to the Winter Mountain Range at the northern edge of the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom to the west and extending to the Frost Forest in the northern part of the Water Wood Duchy to the east.

Seeing this, Mo Yuxiong slapped away one of the "Ice Snow Wolf" that had ambushed him from behind, and started cursing again. "Damn it, this is my first time leading a team, and you beasts are giving me gifts, huh?!"

Admittedly, Yu Tianheng, as a genius of the younger generation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, was only at level 39 in his early twenties, while Dai Mubai, a "spoiled brat" who often went out to find young ladies to expend his energy, was able to cultivate to level 37 at the age of fifteen. This in itself is a bizarre plot setting that is unreasonable in every way.

With the same outstretched hand, the same all-around probing, and after the same ten minutes or so, just as Ye Jiaxin, her cheeks slightly flushed, was about to say something, Ling Yi spoke first, asking gently, "Patriarch Ye Family, could you give me a few drops of blood from the tip of your right middle finger?"

"Die! You scum—!"

Ling Yi gestured with his right index finger in front of his lips, and as the girl's cheeks flushed slightly, he pressed his palm against the pink "Nine Heart Begonia".

Fortunately, with the valiant efforts of Li Yang, Chen Tianqi, and others, the first batch of "Ice Snow Wolf" that rushed close to the cliff had been driven back, and the remaining wolf pack was blocked by other Guard Team members at a distance of 100 meters away, unable to advance an inch.

At this moment Li Yang, who was also possessed by the "Lone Wolf" Martial Soul, had dark green eyes, protruding canine teeth, and a somewhat fierce appearance.

Deep in the woods, in front of a desolate cliff.

Ling Yi knew that Ye Lingyun's indifference stemmed from the fact that nine years ago, a few days before Ye Lingyun's sixth birthday, the nearly seventy-year-old Madam Ye Qihong chose to end her own Life in exchange for the opportunity for Ye Lingyun to Martial Soul Awakening.

At this age and with this Soul Power Level, it barely meets the qualifications expected of the only two Martial Soul in the world, unlike the "Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon" and "Clear Sky Hammer," which are said to be Top-Level Martial Soul, but among hundreds of awakened individuals, there are bound to be those with less talent.

In terms of Martial Soul quality, Innate Soul Power, cultivation resources and environment, and the degree of diligence in cultivation, what exactly makes Dai Mubai surpass Yu Tianheng by so much? In the world of the novel, there is no need to delve into this, but in the world that has evolved into reality, Ling Yi has to carefully investigate it.

Without touching it directly, Ling Yi stopped his hand when it was still about the thickness of a sheet of paper away.

Ye Lingyun: "..."

Ye Juhong and the others who were watching. "..."

Ye Lingyun, 15 years old, Level 37 Healing System Three-Ring Soul Elder.

Unfortunately, unless they are seriously injured, these "Ice Snow Wolf" simply roll on the ground and bury their wounds in the snow. The frigid frost freezes the wounds on their bodies, stopping the bleeding.

Otherwise, according to the Ye Family's rules, Ye Lingyun would most likely have to live her life as an ordinary person.

Chen Xin: "I feel like something's not right, but I can't quite put my finger on it—"

With a clang of the blade, Li Yang appeared beside Mo Yuxiong, his Thousand Refinement battle blade severing the head of an "Ice Snow Wolf." The jet-black blade remained spotless, and he glanced sideways at Mo Yuxiong: "What did you say?"

Seeing this, Mo Yuxiong couldn't help but curse, "That's why I hate these wolf cubs the most!"

Think back to the description of the "Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team" when they first appeared. "They all looked to be in their early twenties."

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that it is not a sapphire at all, but rather a pool of frigid water, or rather, a cold spring!

That's right, it's the source of "Cold Spring Water," one of the high-grade materials used by blacksmiths for quenching during forging.

Facing Ling Yi's handsome face so close to hers, Ye Lingyun went from being at a loss to becoming shy, and then to being in a daze. Nearly ten minutes passed. Just as she was about to think about who her future son and daughter would resemble more, Ling Yi took his hand away and turned to stand in front of Ye Jiaxin.

It should be understood that even if Ye Qihong and Ye Jiaxin die in battle someday in the future, Ye Lingyun may not be the first to undergo the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony. The priority will definitely be given to the Ye Family children who are closest to six years old. Others can only continue to undergo Martial Soul Awakening in order of priority if the person in front has awakened another Martial Soul.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

"And this little girl?"

Enveloping her index finger in Soul Power, Shui Qingyue lightly touched the plant's stem and leaves, feeling the icy intent within gradually grow stronger, and a captivating smile appeared on her lips.

But Ye Lingling is different. As one of only two "Nine Heart Begonia" Martial Soul Master in the world, this talent is really hard for people to accept.

A mark formed by Ling Yi's spiritual power appeared between Ye Lingyun's eyebrows.

Although the sacrifices and dedication of Madam Ye Qihong changed Ye Lingyun's life, they also brought an indelible impact to her young mind.

As the mark was imprinted, the little girl's expression was initially blank, then she blinked, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and her expression gradually became more vivid under everyone's attention.

"You are...?" Ye Lingyun looked at Ling Yi with curiosity as she experienced an unprecedented clarity and calmness in her mind.

Somewhat angrily, he spat on the ground, watching the spittle shatter into ice shards upon hitting the frozen earth. Mo Yuxiong adjusted his mindset and continued to silently guard the area.

"Rin—!"

"Bing Le, have you lost your mind?! Huh?!"

Her jade-like fingers, sharp as needles, landed fiercely on the man's shoulder. Lan Lan's voice continued steadily, "What could Qingyue and Qingyue possibly do in this ' Ice Seal Forest '? Huh?!"

Looking into those beautiful, large eyes, beneath their long, slightly upturned eyelashes, the deep blue pupils seemed like the purest gems in the world, without a trace of impurity. Yet, at this moment, they lacked any youthful vigor, displaying only endless indifference and a deathly stillness.

To be precise, she was looking at that man.

Shui Qingyue squatted by the Cold Spring Water pool, her palms gleaming with blue light. She scooped up a handful of dark blue spring water and sprinkled it on the roots of a small white plant by the pool.

Unlike those lecherous individuals whose values are dictated by physical appearance, the rational Ling Yi clearly understands that the powerful element is the "Nine Heart Begonia" Martial Soul. Ye Lingling's talent is actually not that great, and she doesn't even deserve the praise that the "Nine Heart Begonia" received in the original work.

"Don't rush."

The harsh environment makes this place sparsely populated. Ordinary people would never come here, and even if they did, they wouldn't survive for more than a day or two. Only some Soul Master with cold-attribute Martial Soul would choose to come here to hunt the Soul Beast they need.

The "Nine Heart Begonia" is different. It is already limited to only two in the world, and it is further restricted in terms of the awakener's talent. What meaning does the "Nine Heart Begonia" Martial Soul have in the world?

On the other side of the cave, in a valley about 100 meters square, a sapphire about 10 feet in diameter is set in the frozen soil that is harder than iron.

As he spoke, yellow and purple light flashed alternately around him, and his figure instantly grew several centimeters taller. He first glanced at the cliff behind him and saw that the cave below was still as usual, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

But this character, who only appeared a few times and occupied a very marginal role, has reached a very high position in the hearts of many people.

As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Ye Lingyun, who had already come to her senses and was looking at him and Ye Jiaxin with a strange Ye Lingyun: "Could I also have a few drops of blood from my fingertip?"

Spiritual perception, telepathy, understanding of Life attributes, resonance with the wood elemental energy...

"Clang—!"

"Go away!" Mo Yuxiong glared back, saying irritably, "War is dangerous and dangerous, you son of a bitch, shut up!"

But soon, the smile faded, and Shui Qingyue stood up, her delicate brows furrowing slightly as she looked at the man and woman more than ten meters away.

"Awooo—!" *N

Amidst the howling of wolves, the tough fur of four or five "Ice Snow Wolf" along the way was cut, and bright red blood flowed out quickly, staining their snow-white fur red.

The cold winds from the Land of the Far North keep this place in a frost-covered environment year-round, not to mention that in mid-October, the snow on the ground is more than half a person high.

Ye Jiaxin: "..."

Lan Lan stared at the handsome man in front of her with a murderous look in her eyes. She wished she could pick up a knife, cut off his head, and kick him out of the valley to feed the "Ice Snow Wolf" outside.

This Cold Spring Water is not a rare sight in the northern part of the Heaven Dou Empire or the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom, let alone the fact that it is located deep in the Ice Seal Forest. A hundred miles or so further north from this valley are the snow-capped mountains on the outskirts of the Land of the Far North.

With this inquisitive mindset, Ling Yi turned his gaze to the second owner of the "Nine Heart Begonia" Martial Soul.

To be honest, Mo Yuxiong really didn't expect to be so unlucky. He had been so careful and vigilant, but he never expected that the new guy from the Skywater Academy would be such a terrible teammate.

On the personnel list and corresponding information provided to the Shrek Academy members by the Suotuo Great Soul Fighting Arena, Captain Yu Tianheng was level 39, Vice Captain Dugu Yan was level 38, and team member Ye Lingling was only level 35!

Including the other supporting members from level 36 to 38, this is the most "prestigious" number one seed team of the [Heaven Dou Royal Academy]!

Ignoring the minor characters, ignoring Yu Tianheng of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and ignoring Dugu Yan, the granddaughter of the "Poison Douluo" Dugu Bo, if we only look at Ye Lingling, a level 35 Three-Ring Soul Elder in her early twenties, and a Healing System Soul Master who is known for her slow cultivation, she could indeed be called a "genius" if she were any other ordinary grassroots person on the continent.

With the "White Spirit Bear" Martial Soul possessing him, Mo Yuxiong resembled a white-haired bear. His bear paws transformed into blades, slashing out with a snow-white energy blade that cut through the air and whistled into the pack of snow-white wolf beasts.

Of course, the quality of "Cold Spring Water" varies from place to place.

In any case, he couldn't let these "Ice Snow Wolf" get past him and rush into the cave behind him.

As long as we hold this place, everything else will be fine.

Even Hu Liena was able to cultivate to level 40 at the age of fifteen and directly debut as Five-Ring Soul King in her early twenties. Even with the Spirit Hall's substantial resources, it shouldn't have allowed such a large gap between the two.

Even if it requires these characters with extraordinary backgrounds and high status to serve as stepping stones for the main characters and to deliberately suppress them, Ling Yi still needs to figure out how the plot should evolve in this real world so that the logic doesn't collapse.

The bone-chilling "Cold Spring Water" could cool even the hottest metal instantly. When splashed on the ground, it should have instantly frozen into unmelting ice, but the moment it came into contact with the white plant, it was like ordinary water, silently seeping into the dark soil.

At this moment, Ye Lingyun, with her flowing blue hair and indifferent expression, looked like a Ye Lingyun of ice and jade. Like her aunt Ye Jiaxin, she held the Martial Soul "Nine Heart Begonia" in her hands, with Soul Ring swirling around her feet, allowing Ling Yi's gaze to scrutinize her.

Shaking his head, Ling Yi walked up to Ye Lingyun amidst the strange looks from the people around him. He raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers forming a sword, and touched the girl's forehead.

"What is this...?" *N

At this moment, every member of the Ye Family was dumbfounded. They couldn't understand why Ling Yi had simply touched Ye Lingyun's forehead with a finger, and this girl, whose spirit had been withered for nearly ten years, suddenly became alive again.

Upon hearing this, Li Yang stopped arguing and flicked his battle blade. A purple light flashed around his Soul Ring ring, and amidst the swirling gray wind beneath his feet, he transformed into a silver lightning bolt, rushing towards Chen Ningqi and the others not far away.

Around the same time, at the northern end of the Heaven Dou Empire, about two thousand miles away from Hundred Flowers Valley, a fierce battle was raging.

"We're here just to steal some time, shouldn't we at least find a warmer place?"

"It's freezing in here! Even if I take my pants off, my butt is still cold!"
