Hardworking Shui Bing'er, Frost Soul Palm Reaches Minor Mastery!

Meng Chen's pills were no ordinary medicine. After just one night, Shui Bing'er's palm had fully recovered, without even a scar left behind.

Shui Bing'er was delighted, so she practiced the Frost Soul Palm even more diligently.

She went in the morning and returned at night, rain or shine.

Her progress was astonishingly fast, so fast that even Meng Chen was somewhat surprised.

Under such diligent effort, on the fifth day, Shui Bing'er had practiced for only half a day when a large tree snapped with a crack, breaking at the point of impact. The upper half of the trunk crashed to the ground.

Shui Bing'er stared at the fallen trunk for a long while, then turned to Meng Chen, her eyes filled with incredulous joy.

"Master, I... I've improved!"

Though she was still far behind Master's level.

Meng Chen nodded with a faint smile. "Keep up the good work!"

"Yes!"

Shui Bing'er answered excitedly, but the smile on Meng Chen's face suddenly vanished.

"Your little companions have come looking for you. I'll take my leave for now."

With that, Meng Chen slipped back into the Chaos Bead.

Shui Bing'er froze. Her little companions?

"Bing'er—where are you—"

"Captain—we're here—"

"Bing'er—"

It was Yu Hairou, Shui Yue'er, and the others.

Shui Bing'er turned toward the source of the voices.

Sure enough, before long, several figures emerged from outside the woods.

Xue Wu was at the front, her anxious expression impossible to hide. Her steps were quick, and she was clearly eager to see Shui Bing'er.

Yu Hairou, Shui Yue'er, and the others followed behind her.

"Why are you here?" Shui Bing'er asked as she looked at them.

Xue Wu's anxious expression faltered, and she rarely found herself stammering. "We... we..."

"We came to play with you!"

Yu Hairou skipped over.

Only then did Xue Wu's expression return to normal.

In truth, they had noticed that Shui Bing'er had recently been mysteriously slipping into the small forest behind the academy and only returning at night.

Moreover, whenever Shui Bing'er entered the woods, the trees would shake, muffled groans could be heard, and when she returned, she would be drenched in sweat with a flushed face...

They had thought Shui Bing'er was being bullied, so they had come to see who was bold enough to do such a thing.

At that moment, Yu Hairou suddenly noticed a massive palm print on the trunk of a broken tree behind Shui Bing'er. Even the bark was covered in frost. Her eyes widened. "Wow! What is this?!"

Shui Yue'er also leaned in. Looking at the battered tree, her mouth fell into an O shape. "Sis, did you do this?"

Xue Wu walked up to the trunk and reached out to touch the palm prints. Her brows furrowed slightly. "Palm prints... frost... Bing'er, are you practicing a Soul Skill?"

Shui Bing'er hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Mm."

Hearing Shui Bing'er's answer, everyone relaxed. So she had been practicing a Soul Skill. They had thought she had been practicing... something else.

"What Soul Skill?" Gu Qingbo walked over and studied the palm prints with great interest. "It doesn't look like a Soul Skill you use after Martial Soul Possession. It seems more like... it was unleashed purely through palm techniques and Soul Power?"

Shui Bing'er had not expected Gu Qingbo to have such sharp eyes. She was secretly startled, but her expression remained calm. "More or less. I figured it out myself."

"A Self-Created Soul Skill?!" Yu Hairou cried out in shock, her eyes wide as bells. "Bing'er, you created a Soul Skill yourself?!"

Her shout startled everyone.

They all stared blankly at Shui Bing'er. Creating one's own Soul Skill required talent, knowledge, and opportunity, with none of them dispensable. Otherwise, Self-Created Soul Skills would have become commonplace across Douluo Continent long ago.

Shui Yue'er grabbed her sister's hand, so excited that her voice trembled. "Sis, when did you create a Soul Skill? Why didn't you tell me?!"

Shui Bing'er felt a little embarrassed by their reactions. She gave a light cough. "It's nothing. I just... suddenly got the feeling, and then I created it."

She had no way to explain Meng Chen's existence, so she could only put it that way.

Moreover, deep down, she did not want anyone else to know about Meng Chen. She wanted Master to be her Master alone.

Everyone fell silent after hearing Shui Bing'er's explanation.

You suddenly got the feeling, and then it came out?

What, were you using the toilet?

Xue Wu was more composed. Though she was excited, she restrained herself and asked, "What is this Soul Skill called?"

"Frost Soul Palm." Shui Bing'er did not hide it.

"Frost Soul Palm..." Xue Wu repeated the name and nodded. "It's very powerful. At the very least, it's comparable to a Soul Grandmaster's Soul Skill."

"Sis, can we learn this Soul Skill too?" Shui Yue'er leaned over and shook Shui Bing'er's hand, looking at her eagerly. "This Soul Skill is amazing. I want to learn it!"

No one spoke, but their eyes were full of anticipation.

Shui Bing'er said awkwardly, "Not yet. Let me refine this Soul Skill a little more first."

It was not that she was unwilling to teach them, but she felt she needed to ask Master's permission first.

Fortunately, Xue Wu and the others did not make things difficult for her. They all nodded in understanding.

After Xue Wu and the others left, Shui Bing'er asked Meng Chen about teaching them the Frost Soul Palm.

"Master, Xue Wu and the others want to learn the Frost Soul Palm. Do you think... is that all right?"

Meng Chen floated by the window, looking at the moonlight outside. After a moment of silence, he said blandly, "It's fine."

Shui Bing'er's heart leaped with joy. "Really?"

Meng Chen nodded. "Of course."

It was merely a Mysterious Tier Low Grade Combat Skill.

"However..."

Meng Chen changed the subject and looked at Shui Bing'er. "You must first master the Frost Soul Palm. Then you can teach them."

Shui Bing'er nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry, Master. I'll practice hard!"

Over the following days, Shui Bing'er cultivated even more diligently. With her exceptional talent, she actually brought the Frost Soul Palm to minor mastery in just half a month.

Even Meng Chen was very satisfied with such progress. He clapped his hands and chuckled. "Not bad. You can teach your little sisters now."

Shui Bing'er was overjoyed and immediately wanted to find Shui Yue'er.

Naturally, the first person she wanted to teach was her own younger sister.

Shui Bing'er arrived at Shui Yue'er's dormitory.

Shui Yue'er was eating breakfast in her room, her mouth stuffed with a bun and her cheeks puffed out like a hamster's.

When she saw her sister, her eyes lit up. She called out indistinctly, "Sis! Why are you here!"

Shui Bing'er grabbed her hand, pulled her to her feet, and headed outside. "Still eating?! I'm here to teach you the Frost Soul Palm!"

Shui Yue'er's eyes instantly brightened. She swallowed the bun in two or three bites, then followed Shui Bing'er into the woods.

After some instruction, Shui Yue'er also grasped the palm technique. All that remained was practice.

Satisfied, Shui Bing'er prepared to leave. She still needed to cultivate her Soul Power!

"Wait, Sis." Shui Yue'er suddenly stopped her, her expression turning somewhat subtle. "I... I have something to tell you."

Shui Bing'er turned back to look at her. "What is it?"

Shui Yue'er bit her lip, excitement and nervousness flashing in her eyes. "I broke through to level thirty last night."

Shui Bing'er was stunned, then her face broke into a delighted expression. "Really?"

"Really!" Shui Yue'er nodded forcefully, a brilliant smile blossoming across her face.

Shui Bing'er immediately hugged her sister in excitement. "That's wonderful!"

She was genuinely happy for Shui Yue'er.

"In that case," after her excitement faded, Shui Bing'er released her sister and pondered aloud, "put the Frost Soul Palm aside for now. The most urgent matter is helping you hunt your third Soul Ring. Have you told Mother?"

Shui Yue'er nodded firmly. "Mm! Aunt said she'll lead the team herself to the Extreme North Ice Plains."

"The Extreme North Ice Plains?" Shui Bing'er frowned slightly.

The Extreme North Ice Plains were a vast expanse of ice fields in the north of the Heaven Dou Empire. The climate was frigid, the environment harsh, and countless ice-element Spirit Beasts lived there.

For ice-element Spirit Masters like Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, it was indeed an ideal place to hunt Soul Rings.

But the Extreme North Ice Plains were also very dangerous.

Not only were there powerful Spirit Beasts there, but the weather was unpredictable. One careless mistake could lead to danger.

Still, with their mother, Leng Qishuang, personally leading the team, there should not be much of a problem.

"All right, I'll go too. Once we return after hunting the Soul Ring, I'll teach you the Frost Soul Palm," Shui Bing'er said.

Shui Yue'er was very happy. Ever since childhood, she had loved being close to her sister and wanted her by her side for everything she did.

"Okay, when we get back, let's go eat grilled meat together."
