Su Tong Had Wandered for Years, Regretting Only That She Had Never Found a Worthy Lord; Genius Number Nine, the Heavenly Snow Woman (4K5)

"What a shame. You're over twenty, so you can't enter the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy and Soul Engineer Academy Soul Fighting Tournament. Why couldn't you have been born two years later?"

The first thing Yu Tianjun did upon meeting Su Tong was check her bone age. Discovering that she had just passed the tournament's age limit of twenty left him somewhat disappointed.

The original story's only all-natural, unpolluted ultimate-attribute soul master couldn't compete. Negative review.

His words, so full of the flavor of human society, calmed Su Tong down. She patted her chest, neither particularly imposing nor barren, and let out a small breath of relief.

Good, good. Looks like he's still human.

However, Yu Tianjun's next words sent her heart leaping again.

"A human with the Heavenly Snow Woman martial soul is pretty intriguing to me, too. Snow Empress, why don't you check your family records and see which Heavenly Snow Woman took human form and went into the human world?"

Snow Empress rolled her eyes. "When have you ever heard of soul beasts keeping family records? I've been alone ever since I was born. If you insist on finding parents for me, the Far North itself is my parent."

"That makes sense," Yu Tianjun mused. "Looks like your kind comes into existence pretty randomly. Presumably, one of her ancestors was some unknown Heavenly Snow Woman who entered the human world and married a human. In that case, shouldn't she acknowledge you as her great-grandaunt?"

He remembered that twenty thousand years later, a Heavenly Snow Woman genius had enrolled among Shrek's fourth-generation Shrek Seven Monsters. They had even formed an Ice Clan, though their martial souls seemed somewhat defective, and none had become gods.

"Great-grandaunt makes me sound old for nothing. I can acknowledge her as a junior.
