Six-Pointed Ice Star

The Nuoding City Spirit Hall Branch—the old man in charge of this place was named Ma Xiunuo.

He picked up a form, motioned for Han Bing to sit, then said:

"Little Han Bing, I'll write you a letter of recommendation. Then I'll send you to the Spirit Hall Main Hall to study. With your talent, if one of the Spirit Hall elders or the Pope takes a liking to you, you'll rise to the heavens in a single bound."

Han Bing nodded calmly, his deep-blue eyes fixed on the old man.

The Spirit Hall elders were all below level ninety-five and were governed by the Pope.

The Enshrined Douluo were different. They weren't under the Pope's authority, and they were all Super Douluo, generally starting at level ninety-six. They stood at the very peak of the continent.

If so, being recognized by one of the Enshrined Douluo would be the best possible outcome.

Unfortunately, Bibi Dong was blinded by love. With so many powerful people in the Spirit Hall, she still managed to lead them to defeat, and such a good strategy was lost along the way.

As Han Bing thought this, Supervisor Ma Xiunuo continued:

"All right, Han Bing. I'll ask, and you answer. I'll complete your records and send them to the Spirit Hall Main Hall."

Han Bing nodded. Ma Xiunuo asked:

"Come on, let's register your Martial Soul. Martial Soul: Candy. Name: Han Bing. Age: six. Innate Full Soul Power!"

Han Bing nodded. Seeing Ma Xiunuo write it down, he decided there was no need to hide anything and told him directly that he had Twin Martial Souls. He asked:

"Grandpa Supervisor, do I need to register my other Martial Soul too?"

Ma Xiunuo grinned so widely his mouth nearly reached his ears. He thought that sending a child with Innate Full Soul Power like Han Bing to the Main Hall would surely earn him a hefty reward. So when he heard Han Bing speak, he didn't catch it at first and merely replied casually:

"Oh, your other Martial Soul."

A tenth of a second later, Ma Xiunuo came to his senses. His eyes flew wide, and he exclaimed in shock:

"What? Little Han Bing? Did I hear that right? You have another Martial Soul?"

Han Bing nodded, completely calm.

Ma Xiunuo's hands trembled slightly. Overcome with excitement, he hurriedly said:

"Then show me!"

Han Bing focused, and both Martial Souls appeared. In an instant, an aura of extreme cold burst forth.

The temperature in the entire room plummeted. Even Ma Xiunuo, a level-twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster, had to use Soul Power to resist it.

Han Bing held Candy in his left hand and Ice Element in his right.

A freezing aura radiated from his entire body, and the floor slowly began to ice over.

Ma Xiunuo was dumbfounded. Only then did he understand why Han Bing's Candy Spirit had mutated with an ice attribute: it had an Ice-attribute Martial Soul this powerful.

This crystal-blue, six-sided ice crystal had caused such a huge reaction simply by being summoned.

It had even affected the weather around them. Only an exceptional Martial Soul—or something even better—could cause a reaction like this.

His hands trembled uncontrollably. He gazed at Han Bing as if he were looking at a dazzling star, and his voice quivered as he said:

"All right, put your Martial Souls away! Keep this up, and you'll freeze our entire Spirit Hall Branch solid. A hero really does emerge in youth! A genius—a genius among geniuses! Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power. Comparing myself to you is enough to make anyone furious. I'm already over sixty, nearly seventy, and I'm still only a level-twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster!"

Only then did Han Bing put away his Martial Souls, and the air around them slowly warmed.

However, Han Bing had done nothing to rein in the aura of his other Martial Soul. If he'd kept it up, he really could have frozen the Nuoding City Spirit Hall Branch solid.

Ma Xiunuo sighed softly, rueful over his own lot. He turned to Han Bing, his gaze full of envy and respect, and asked:

"Han Bing, what's the name of your other Martial Soul?"

Han Bing thought for a moment. He couldn't keep calling it Ice Element, so he blurted out:

"Six-Pointed Ice Star!"

"Six-Pointed Ice Star! Wonderful! A beautiful, proud, and icy Martial Soul. Excellent, excellent! I've written everything down. Han Bing, you're destined for a heaven-defying future."

Ma Xiunuo calmed himself, organized the records, then had Han Bing rest in the guest room. He provided him with plenty of good food and drink while they awaited news from the Spirit Hall Main Hall.

Han Bing spent his time cultivating in his room.

Meanwhile, in Spirit City, at the Spirit Hall Main Hall, Bibi Dong rested her chin on her hand and sat gracefully on the Papal throne. Chrysanthemum Douluo hurried over, bowed respectfully, and said:

"Your Holiness, Ma Xiunuo, supervisor of the Nuoding City branch, has sent a letter of recommendation. He says a genius with Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power has awakened and recommends that he come to the Spirit Hall to study."

Bibi Dong's eyebrows rose slightly in surprise. She said:

"Oh? Twin Martial Souls? Innate Full Soul Power? Let me see!"

"Yes!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo handed over the letter. Bibi Dong read it carefully:

"Han Bing. Twin Martial Souls. Innate Full Soul Power. First Martial Soul: Candy. Second Martial Soul: Six-Pointed Ice Star. Born in Han Family Village. His mother died in childbirth. His father was named Han Li and is missing."

A faint smile touched Bibi Dong's lips. "How interesting. A genius like this appears only once in a century. Still, this Martial Soul, Candy, is food-type and can provide support. But this Six-Pointed Ice Star Martial Soul—Elder Ju, have you ever heard of it?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head. "Your Holiness, I haven't. But according to the letter, this Martial Soul can alter its surroundings, so it's clearly a remarkable one."

Bibi Dong nodded, then said:

"If that's the case, gaining such a genius will make our Spirit Hall all the more powerful. Excellent! Elder Ju!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo cupped his hands and awaited her orders.

"Go to Nuoding City and bring Han Bing here. While you're at it, investigate his background. If he really comes from a commoner family, that would be wonderful. I don't much care for dealing with nobles."

"If the report is accurate, reward Ma Xiunuo with one million Gold Soul Coins."

Bibi Dong gazed ahead, lost in thought, gently stroking her fingers.

"Yes!"

Elder Ju accepted the order and set off at once.

In Nuoding City, Han Bing didn't go out for a stroll. He spent several days in his room.

Then came a knock at the door!

"Han Bing, Elder Ju of the Spirit Hall is here. Come quickly."

Han Bing followed him over. In the main hall, everyone sat on either side, while a man in golden armor sat in the seat of honor. He had delicate features, but his makeup was alluring and wicked.

When Ma Xiunuo saw Han Bing arrive, he hurried forward to introduce him:

"Elder Ju, this is Han Bing!"

"Han Bing, hurry and pay your respects to Elder Ju!"

Han Bing nodded, cupped his hands, and bowed. He hadn't expected the Spirit Hall to send Chrysanthemum Douluo himself. It seemed Bibi Dong really valued me.

"I'm Han Bing. Greetings, Elder Ju!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded and looked him up and down. His hair was ice-blue and his eyes deep blue. His unusual appearance was clearly the result of his Martial Soul's influence.

Before coming here, he had made a point of investigating Han Bing's background. Han Bing was just an ordinary villager from Han Family Village.

His father, Han Li, was missing, but the villagers said he was an ordinary man with no Martial Soul.

He had left the village a year ago and hadn't been seen since.

It seemed Han Bing really was a commoner. Her Holiness favored commoners most of all. Chrysanthemum Douluo smiled at Han Bing and said:

"Han Bing, you have Twin Martial Souls, don't you? Show them to me and let me have a look!"
