This Ice Devil Fish is not only extremely fast, but also adept at escaping and blocking pursuers.
If it weren't for Ma Hongjun's Flame and Shui Bing'er's control, it would have been really difficult to catch it.
Shui Zihan personally killed it, and a deep black Soul Ring slowly rose from the fish corpse.
As usual Dai Mubai examined the corpse of the Ice Devil Fish.
This time, Lady Luck smiled upon them once again, and the Ice Devil Fish produced a piece of extremely high-quality Torso Bone.
This Torso Bone can be said to be the most precious Soul Bone that everyone has obtained since they started Soul Hunting.
Previously obtained Soul Bone were all limb Soul Bone. Only Oscar obtained a Mirror Shadow Beast Head Soul Bone, while Shui Bing'er and Ning Rongrong's Head Soul Bone were stolen by Dai Mubai.
But Shui Zihan was reluctant to absorb the Torso Bone himself, so he resolutely gave it to Shui Yue'er, who also possessed the Jadeglow Dolphin Martial Soul.
Dai Mubai naturally expressed his gratitude and immediately sent Shui Zihan a Tonghua Pill in return, which could strengthen her foundation, nourish her vital energy, and enhance her vitality.
If Yang Wudi ever concocts any more excellent Pill in the future, I will definitely repay this father-in-law once again.
After Shui Zihan absorbed the Soul Ring, his Soul Power also increased to the peak of level eighty-one.
Immediately afterwards, he took the Tonghua Pill, and he looked much younger. His Soul Power broke through to level 82, his foundation became more solid, and his Soul Power became much more refined.
Given his current age and foundation, he may be able to achieve even greater success in the future.
Shui Zihan's eighth Soul Skill is called " Devil Fish Ice Cage ".
When activated, Shui Zihan can instantly conjure several ice-blue chains and ice walls within a radius of fifty meters, centered on herself, to bind or block enemies.
The ice chains have extremely strong binding force, making it very difficult for enemies entangled by them to break free. Furthermore, their Soul Power is constantly being devoured by the ice chains, continuously replenishing Shui Zihan.
Ice walls can be used to block enemies or as a defensive shield, placed in front of teammates.
This Soul Skill is excellent. It can be used to trap enemies or to block pursuit. It has multiple functions, including control, attack, and defense, and can also absorb Soul Power to restore its own Soul Power.
On the other side, after Shui Yue'er absorbed the Torso Bone of the Ice Devil Fish, her Soul Power increased from the peak of level 46 to level 48, and her physical strength increased by at least 100%.
The Soul Bone Skill of the Torso Bone is called " Devil Fish Body ".
The passive effect greatly increases the power of water-attribute Soul Skill, increasing all water-attribute attack power by 50%.
If one is in water, one can continuously absorb energy from the water, greatly increasing the speed at which Soul Power recovers.
This greatly increases Shui Yue'er's endurance in the water.
Thus, the journey to the Frozen Forest has come to a successful conclusion, and everyone has obtained their own Soul Ring.
Oscar obtained the Mirror Shadow Beast Soul Ring and the Image Head Soul Bone, Shui Bing'er obtained the Ice Crystal Beast Soul Ring, Shui Zihan obtained the Ice Devil Fish Soul Ring and the Torso Bone, with their gains far exceeding expectations.
The group happily packed up their campsite and headed towards the edge of the Frozen Forest in the direction they had come from.
The return trip was, of course, faster than the arrival trip.
Ten days later, the group returned to Skywater City.
After resting for two days, Dai Mubai gathered everyone together.
In the Council Hall of the Water Mansion, about ten people sat in a circle.
Dai Mubai's gaze swept over everyone, and he said calmly, "I'm planning to go to a dangerous place alone for training, so let's discuss the arrangements together."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Hongjun said, " Boss Dai, I'll go with you!"
"I'm going too!"
"I'm going too!"
"I'm going too!"
Everyone else immediately said they wanted to go too.
Dai Mubai raised his hand to press down, his tone resolute. "No, there's no room for negotiation. That place is no joke; with your strength, it will be extremely difficult for you to escape."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the unwilling faces, and said sternly, "I will be back in two to three years at the shortest. You all need to cultivate diligently. If anyone hasn't improved by the time I return, don't blame me for being impolite."
Dai Mubai turned to Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Xue Wu, and began to make arrangements. " Bing'er, Yue'er, and Xue Wu, the three of you can stay in Skywater City. It's more suitable for your cultivation here. I'll come and pick you up when I return from my training."
Shui Bing'er and the other two hummed softly in agreement. They knew that once Dai Mubai had made up his mind, it was irreversible.
Dai Mubai then looked at Ning Rongrong: " Rongrong, I'll take you back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect on the way. You can use this time to learn how to manage sect affairs from your father."
Ning Rongrong nodded in agreement, without saying anything more.
Finally, Dai Mubai's gaze fell on Zhu Zhuqing and the others, and he said, " Zhu Qing, Lingling, Little Ao, Fatty, Pojun, and Niu Zhen, all six of you go back to Star Luo City."
" Zhu Qing will oversee the affairs of the Crown Prince Prince's residence, with Lingling and Little Ao assisting Zhu Qing. Fatty, Pojun, and Niu Zhen, the three of you will assist the elders in training the personal guards and managing the Heavenly Strategy Sect."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.
The others nodded silently.
After Dai Mubai finished speaking, he clapped his hands. "Alright, everyone, we'll set off tomorrow. Remember, you absolutely cannot slack off in your cultivation during this time!"
"Yes, Boss Dai, I promise I'll break through level 60 when you come back!" Ma Hongjun patted his chest and said.
Dai Mubai smiled and said, "Alright, I'll be watching!"
That night, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Xue Wu fought a fierce battle, sacrificing their last grain of food, until dawn broke.
The next morning, when it was time to part ways, the group split into three groups.
Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Xue Wu remained in Skywater City.
Zhu Zhuqing led Dai Lingling, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Yang Pojun, and Niu Zhen onto a carriage and headed south towards Star Luo City.
Dai Mubai, carrying Ning Rongrong, flew eastward toward Heaven Dou City.
Skywater City is not far from Heaven Dou City. With Dai Mubai's flying speed, even with one person in tow, it would only take him less than two days.
By noon the next day, Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong had already arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
When the two arrived at the familiar Seven Treasure Main Hall, Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo Gu Rong were sitting in the hall discussing matters.
They seemed to be discussing something important, their expressions more somber than usual.
Upon seeing Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong enter, the two immediately showed expressions of surprise and delight.
Ning Fengzhi stood up. " Rongrong! Mubai! What brings you here?"
Dai Mubai briefly explained that after everyone broke through, they first went to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for Soul Ring, and then went to the Frozen Forest.
Hearing that Dai Mubai had broken through to the Soul Emperor and Ning Rongrong had also obtained Soul Ring and officially become a Soul King, Ning Fengzhi nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of approval.
Afterwards Dai Mubai gave some instructions, explaining that he was preparing to go to the Slaughter City for training and would first send Rongrong back to stay for a while.
Upon hearing that Ning Rongrong was going to stay in the sect, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong exchanged a glance, and both of them showed a hint of joy on their faces.
