Source of Ice

Han Bing nodded, not holding back, and fully released his two spirits.

A burst of extreme cold erupted from within his body.

In an instant, the air turned frigid, and ice spread out from beneath Han Bing's feet.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Spirit Hall seemed to have been transported to the Far North.

Han Bing's two spirits flickered between his hands.

The Six-Pointed Ice Star radiated a constant stream of cold air.

Chrysanthemum Douluo widened his eyes, observing closely. For a fleeting moment, even he felt as if he were about to be frozen solid.

Chrysanthemum Douluo had seen many ice-attribute spirits, both powerful and weak.

Tianshui Academy, known for its extreme attributes, was hailed as having the strongest ice-attribute spirits on the continent; just a while ago, they had awakened a top-tier ice-attribute spirit, the Ice Phoenix.

In my opinion, this little child Han Bing's ice-attribute ability is likely even superior to that Ice Phoenix.

Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded in satisfaction. Such a genius joining Spirit Hall was truly like adding wings to a tiger. He said:

"Not bad. Pack your things and come with me to Spirit City!"

He then tossed a pile of Gold Soul Coins to Mathew Nuo and said calmly:

"A reward from the Pope. Keep up the good work."

Mathew Nuo looked at the heavy bag of Gold Soul Coins, thinking he would never be able to spend it all in this lifetime. In truth, he no longer sought cultivation resources; he just wanted to enjoy the rest of his life.

The others also received various rewards, mostly focused on cultivation.

They all thanked him in succession: "Thank you, Your Holiness! Thank you, Your Holiness!"

"Chrysanthemum Douluo, I have nothing to pack. We can leave now!"

Han Bing said. Chrysanthemum Douluo smiled; that was true—what could a six-year-old possibly have?

And so, he took Han Bing and flew rapidly toward Spirit City!

"That ahead is Spirit Hall. Come inside with me first to pay your respects to the Pope."

Chrysanthemum Douluo led the way, passing through layers of stairs until they reached the main hall of Spirit Hall. It was magnificent and opulent, surpassing even the Heaven Dou Royal palace.

Bibi Dong was waiting quietly in the Pope Hall. Word came that Elder Chrysanthemum had returned.

Bibi Dong nodded, prepared to meet this rising star.

Elder Chrysanthemum led Han Bing inside and bowed respectfully to Bibi Dong.

"Your Holiness, I have brought him!"

Han Bing looked up at Bibi Dong, who sat high above. Her figure was graceful, yet her eyes held sorrow and unwillingness. Han Bing immediately bowed:

"I am Han Bing, paying my respects to Your Holiness!"

Bibi Dong nodded. "Rise!" She then continued:

"You are Han Bing?"

"I am!"

"Twin spirits, innate full soul power, Candy Spirit and Six-Pointed Ice Star. Your talent is extremely high. Come, let me see your spirits!"

A spirit display was the most direct way to gauge talent. Naturally, the two Title Douluo intended to test the quality of his spirits.

Han Bing did not hesitate. He revealed his spirits, and extreme ice spread forth.

In an instant, the temperature of the entire Pope Hall dropped to the extreme; the air they exhaled began to freeze.

The Candy Spirit, not to mention its own properties, had also gained an ice attribute due to the influence of the Freeze-Freeze Fruit.

As for the Six-Pointed Ice Star, Bibi Dong observed it carefully.

The cold energy it radiated was terrifyingly powerful, altering the very climate of the environment.

She watched closely, her soul power quietly probing, but the freezing force was untouchable; it seemed as if anything that drew near would be turned into a block of ice.

Bibi Dong was already shocked, and Han Bing stood within the ice-blue aura of the Six-Pointed Ice Star.

He looked like an ice statue, cold to the extreme.

Spirits influenced a person's personality, so it was normal for Han Bing to be aloof.

Bibi Dong nodded repeatedly and asked Chrysanthemum Douluo beside her:

"Elder Chrysanthemum, can you discern the quality of this Six-Pointed Ice Star spirit?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo replied:

"Your Holiness, I can feel that this spirit's ice is even more formidable than that of the Ice Phoenix. None of us possess ice-attribute spirits; unless a Title Douluo with an ice attribute comes, it is hard to say if they could identify the source."

Bibi Dong nodded. Just then, another wave of extreme cold surged in, even more powerful than the last.

A moment later, the guard at the door announced:

"Your Holiness, the Fifth Elder, Guang Ling Douluo, has arrived."

The corners of Bibi Dong's mouth curled up slightly, and she said calmly:

"Well, he came uninvited, clearly having sensed it. Alright, Han Bing, put away your spirits!"

Han Bing nodded and retracted his spirits.

She then said to the guard:

"Quick, invite the Fifth Elder in!"

"Yes!"

Before long, Guang Ling Douluo walked in slowly. The moment he entered, his eyes locked onto Han Bing. This Elder was only slightly taller than Han Bing.

He looked exactly like a child, and his voice was the same.

His left eye was frozen over. After looking at Han Bing, he quickly turned and bowed slightly to Bibi Dong:

"Your Majesty the Pope!"

"Elder Guang Ling, no need for formalities." Bibi Dong's expression remained calm as she asked a question she already knew the answer to:

"I wonder what brings Elder Guang Ling here?"

Guang Ling Douluo smiled faintly and stated the truth:

"I was sitting idly in the Elder Hall when I sensed an extremely powerful ice aura coming from the Pope Hall. It resonated with my own spirit, so I came to take a look."

Of course, he left some things unsaid. As a level 96 Super Douluo, he was already at the pinnacle of the continent.

Yet, that cold aura had a faint sense of suppression.

It was not a suppression of strength, but a suppression of spirit quality. It felt like a natural attraction; that cold aura seemed to be the source of the ice attribute within Guang Ling Douluo's own spirit, calling out to him.

Bibi Dong clearly knew that Guang Ling Douluo had come for Han Bing, so she asked:

"The cold aura just now was radiated by the Six-Pointed Ice Star spirit of this little child, Han Bing. He is a genius from Nuoding City with innate full soul power and twin spirits, here today to pay his respects."

"Twin spirits? And innate full soul power?"

Guang Ling Douluo was full of surprise. He was instantly drawn to Han Bing and went over to examine him.

Han Bing looked at Guang Ling Douluo, who was only slightly taller than him. He scratched his head, and Guang Ling Douluo said:

"Little one, can you let me see your spirit?"

Han Bing nodded and summoned his spirit again. Guang Ling Douluo watched, deeply shocked.

At such close range, he could clearly feel that his own ice-attribute power seemed to originate from this Six-Pointed Ice Star that shimmered with cold energy.

He couldn't help but reach out to touch it, but before he could, his hand was instantly frozen.

It didn't hurt him, naturally, but he didn't understand. He simply asked:

"Six-Pointed Ice Star? Such pure ice-attribute energy."

Seeing this, Han Bing also wanted to know the quality of the Six-Pointed Ice Star awakened by his Freeze-Freeze Fruit.

In this era of the Douluo Continent, there was no concept of "Ultimate Ice."

But judging by the reactions of the several Title Douluo, my Six-Pointed Ice Star should be no different from Ultimate Ice.

Guang Ling Douluo stared for a long time, captivated by the Six-Pointed Ice Star. He realized in an instant that this Six-Pointed Ice Star was the source of the ice attribute.

The starting point of all ice attributes.

No wonder I felt a faint sense of suppression. It's wonderful; I feel that just by being near him, my own ice-attribute power could be greatly enhanced.

"Wonderful, wonderful, truly wonderful. The Six-Pointed Ice Star is simply the pinnacle of ice-attribute spirits. Marvelous, marvelous."

"Little Han Bing, would you be willing to become my personal disciple? I will exhaust all resources to cultivate you!"
