Dragon and Sword, Twin-Born Ultimate Ice

Shui Qingrou, the head of the Shui Family, rushed over to Bing Yekong and swept him into her arms.

"Yekong, you're incredible!"

Her smile was radiant, her pride practically overflowing.

Shui Qingrou spun around while holding Bing Yekong, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

"Aunt Shui, I'm dizzy! Put me down!"

Only then did Shui Qingrou notice his pale little face. Embarrassed, she quickly set him down.

"Haha, Auntie was just too excited."

Then Shui Qingrou looked proudly at the head of the Feng Family. "Well, Old Feng? Our Shui Family has an Innate Full Soul Power genius too!"

The Feng Family's head was named Feng Tianlin, and he was Feng Xiaotian's father.

His gaze toward Bing Yekong was full of admiration, without the ruthless intent to eliminate a prodigy from another faction.

After all, the Feng, Shui, and Huo Families were as close as siblings. They would not grow jealous just because one family had produced a genius.

"Then congratulations, Qingrou. With Yekong in the Shui Family, producing a Titled Douluo is only a matter of time!"

"Your Xiaotian is no worse. He'll become a Titled Douluo someday as well!"

While the three family heads chatted away, the younger generation gathered together.

Huo Wu wrapped an arm around Bing Yekong's neck. "Not bad, Yekong! Innate Full Soul Power, just like Xiaotian!" Though Huo Wu was only around ten years old, she had developed quickly, and her figure was already beginning to take shape.

Held in her embrace, Bing Yekong felt himself being squeezed and could barely breathe.

"Sister Huo Wu, let me go!"

Bing Yekong had only just awakened his Martial Soul. How could he possibly break free from the embrace of a Grand Soul Master like Huo Wu? All he could do was shout.

"Oh, what are you being shy about? We all grew up together. Now that you've awakened Innate Full Soul Power, you won't even let your Sister Huo Wu hug you?"

Unable to resist, Bing Yekong could only let Huo Wu hold him.

Watching this scene, Feng Xiaotian unconsciously clenched his fists.

By now, he had already fallen for Huo Wu.

Thus, seeing Huo Wu being so intimate with Bing Yekong inevitably made him angry.

After some lighthearted horseplay, they agreed to celebrate once Bing Yekong had obtained his Soul Ring. Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and the others then went home with their elders.

Now, only members of the Shui Family remained in the hall.

News of Bing Yekong awakening Innate Full Soul Power quickly spread throughout the Shui Family.

Overjoyed, Shui Qingrou handed out quite a bit of money.

"Yekong, you're amazing."

Compared to her younger sister Shui Yue'er, Shui Bing'er, the elder sister, was much gentler.

Speaking of which, Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er were not full sisters, merely half-sisters who shared the same father.

Yet for some unknown reason, their father was gone, and Shui Yue'er's mother was gone as well. Only Shui Qingrou remained to care for the two of them.

However, Shui Qingrou had never treated Shui Yue'er unfairly. Instead, she regarded her as her own daughter.

"Thank you, Sister Bing'er!"

Faced with Shui Bing'er's praise, Bing Yekong answered with a bright smile.

His increasingly handsome face made Shui Bing'er feel as though she had been struck by lightning when their eyes met. She quickly looked away, a faint blush rising to her cheeks.

"You should go back and rest early. Mother will take you to obtain your Soul Ring tomorrow."

After saying that, Shui Bing'er quickly pulled Shui Yue'er away, leaving Bing Yekong standing where he was.

He smiled helplessly and returned to his own residence as well.

Shui Qingrou watched everything unfold. "These little ones... It seems it's time to arrange new accommodations for them."

After returning to his room, Bing Yekong eagerly examined his second Martial Soul.

He was very curious about what exactly his second Martial Soul was.

Since it had appeared alongside the Heavenly Frost Sword Martial Soul, it surely could not be bad.

But Bing Yekong had clearly been wrong. It was not merely good—it was simply extraordinary.

When the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul appeared before him, Bing Yekong's jaw nearly dropped.

That was the Ice Dragon King—the Ice Dragon King! It had become his Martial Soul just like that?

What puzzled Bing Yekong now was that while the Heavenly Frost Sword Martial Soul was of high quality, it could not compare to the Ice Dragon King. How had these two Martial Souls appeared together?

With that question in mind, Bing Yekong released the Heavenly Frost Sword Martial Soul once more. The instant it appeared, he understood the reason.

The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul was undoubtedly of the Ultimate Ice attribute.

When he had released the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul just now, Bing Yekong had truly felt that extreme, bone-chilling cold.

Yet now, after putting away the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul and releasing the Heavenly Frost Sword Martial Soul instead, the cold emitted by the blade was no weaker than before.

That left only one possibility.

Bing Yekong's Heavenly Frost Sword Martial Soul, like the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, possessed the Ultimate Ice attribute.

That explained why the two Martial Souls had appeared at the same time.

The quality of the Heavenly Frost Sword had been upgraded, granting it Ultimate Ice.

Having figured it out, Bing Yekong no longer dwelled on it.

He sat cross-legged on his bed and began cultivating according to the meditation method Shui Qingrou had given him.

Although he had yet to obtain a Soul Ring, so cultivating would not increase his Soul Power, the Soul Power he cultivated would not disappear. Once he absorbed a Soul Ring, it would naturally emerge.

The next morning.

Bing Yekong rose early. After washing up and getting dressed, he headed to the Shui Family's main hall.

Shui Qingrou had already been waiting there.

"Aunt Shui."

Bing Yekong politely bowed.

"Oh, Yekong, we're family now. Why are you bowing? Don't do that again, or Auntie will get angry!"

Shui Qingrou said, pretending to be angry.

Understanding what she meant, Bing Yekong obediently nodded, warmth filling his heart.

"Here, this is for you. Consider it a little reward from Auntie for your Innate Full Soul Power."

A delicate bracelet rested in Shui Qingrou's hand.

"It has twenty cubic meters of storage space. That should be enough for you."

The bracelet in Shui Qingrou's hand was a Storage Soul Guidance Device.

Bing Yekong happily accepted it. "Thank you, Aunt Shui!"

Now that he had Soul Power, he truly needed a Storage Soul Guidance Device.

He infused it with Soul Power, and the entire twenty-cubic-meter space came into view.

It was not empty. Inside were several daily necessities Shui Qingrou had prepared for him, along with several thousand gold soul coins.

Bing Yekong put the bracelet on his wrist and treasured it dearly.

"I'm glad you like it. Come on, Auntie will take you to obtain your first Soul Ring."

Bing Yekong followed Shui Qingrou outside the Shui Family estate and hurried toward the outskirts of Element City.

Their destination was the Great Star Dou Forest.

After all, ice-attributed soul beasts were difficult to find. It was far too hard to find one in an ordinary soul beast hunting forest, and only the Great Star Dou Forest offered greater odds.

After leaving Element City, Shui Qingrou released her Martial Soul.

Her Martial Soul was also an Ice Phoenix, which was precisely what Shui Bing'er had inherited from her.

However, Shui Qingrou's Ice Phoenix Martial Soul had low bloodline purity, so its quality was inferior to Shui Bing'er's.

Eight Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black—appeared beneath Shui Qingrou's feet.

Though she looked only middle-aged, Shui Qingrou was already a powerful Soul Douluo.

The Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, combined with the cultivation of a Soul Douluo, granted her the ability to fly.

Shui Qingrou grabbed Bing Yekong and flew with him toward the Great Star Dou Forest.
