After extracting the Ice Spirit Ring, Xue Tianmo put it directly on his hand.

At the same time, his earlier sign-in with Tang Hao had also earned him a thirty-thousand-year ice-attribute left arm soul bone.

"As expected of Tang Hao!"

"Just one sign-in brought me so many rewards."

"Not to mention the two hundred thousand Sign-in Points—I also got the Ice Spirit Ring, an artifact, and a thirty-thousand-year left arm soul bone!"

Xue Tianmo secretly marveled. His gains had been absolutely maxed out.

Although the process had been somewhat perilous, the outcome was quite satisfying. He had made a killing!

"Brother Tianmo, are you all right?"

At that moment, Ice Empress asked with a concerned expression.

Xue Tianmo came back to his senses, steadied Shui Bing'er in his arms, and smiled. "Ice Empress, I'm fine. I just used up a little too much Soul Power."

Ice Empress nodded. Recalling what had just happened, she still felt a lingering fear in her heart.

If anything had happened to Xue Tianmo, how could she possibly explain it to Snow Empress?

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue stepped closer.

She did not rush to speak. Instead, she looked Shui Bing'er over.

Is this Xue Tianmo's beloved in Skywater Academy?

What a playboy!

Qian Renxue silently sighed, jealousy churning within her.

Especially when she recalled the scenes of Xue Tianmo and Shui Bing'er joining forces to perform their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, she felt deeply uncomfortable.

"Hm?"

At the same time, Shui Bing'er noticed that there was something off about the way Qian Renxue was looking at her. She muttered to herself, Brother Tianmo went out to meet such a beautiful young woman in secret?

Hmph! Men!

For a moment, the two women's gazes met. Though neither said anything, their eyes clashed like needle against wheat awn!

Xue Tianmo was instantly embarrassed by the sight.

Fortunately, Ice Empress saw through the two women's secret jealousy and hurriedly smoothed things over. "Bing'er, since Tianmo is all right, let's head back!"

Shui Bing'er paused briefly, but did not insist on staying. She gave Xue Tianmo a seemingly casual glance before leaving with Ice Empress.

As they passed Shui Ruoling and the others from Skywater Academy, Ice Empress called for them to leave as well.

Before long, only Xue Tianmo and Qian Renxue remained at the scene.

"I really couldn't tell!"

"You actually have such a stunningly beautiful confidante at Skywater Academy."

"She keeps calling you Brother Tianmo. How affectionate!"

Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at Xue Tianmo, her words dripping with jealousy.

Xue Tianmo was speechless and had no idea how to explain himself.

"Huff!"

Seeing that he did not respond, Qian Renxue let out a long breath and continued, "Thank goodness you stepped in earlier. Otherwise, I would have died at Tang Hao's hands."

Xue Tianmo shook his head. "I should be the one thanking you for stepping in."

"After all, he came to kill me."

Seeing Xue Tianmo being so polite with her, Qian Renxue covered her mouth and smiled. "Why are you being so distant with me?"

"I think... we should be very familiar with each other by now, shouldn't we?"

Xue Tianmo gave an awkward smile. "Yes! Very familiar! After all, we've already had an in-depth exchange."

"Hm?"

Hearing that, Qian Renxue frowned. She felt that there was some hidden meaning behind Xue Tianmo's words.

Unable to figure it out, she suddenly grew bashful, her cheeks flushing scarlet.

"You!"

"What a bad man!"

Before Xue Tianmo could respond, Qian Renxue took a deep breath and looked at him shyly. "How about we get a room and have another in-depth exchange?"

Xue Tianmo froze upon hearing this, knowing that Qian Renxue was teasing him again.

Seeing his reaction, Qian Renxue could not stop herself from laughing.

"Hahaha!"

"Look how scared you are. It's just getting a room—I'm not going to eat you!"

As she said this, she stared straight at Xue Tianmo, finding that teasing him was rather entertaining sometimes.

Xue Tianmo merely smiled without saying anything.

After a brief silence, Qian Renxue got back to the point. "Oh, right. Skywater Academy will be participating in this Soul Master Competition, won't it?"

"Do your best and win the championship! I think highly of you!"

With that, Qian Renxue did not wait for Xue Tianmo's reply before getting up and leaving.

"Huff, huff..."

After Qian Renxue left, Xue Tianmo let out a long breath and returned to Skywater Academy.

Not long after he arrived, Shui Bing'er came looking for him.

As soon as they met, Shui Bing'er got straight to the point. "Who was she?"

Xue Tianmo paused, caught completely off guard by the question.

After composing himself slightly, he replied, "Sister Bing'er, she's just a friend of mine. I met her while training before!"

"Oh?"

Shui Bing'er gave a soft cry of surprise, recalling that Xue Tianmo had also met her and Shui Yue'er while training.

"Just a friend?"

After pondering briefly, Shui Bing'er continued probing.

Xue Tianmo nodded. With a thought, he took the thirty-thousand-year left arm soul bone directly from the Ice Spirit Ring.

"This is for you!"

Seeing the soul bone Xue Tianmo offered her, Shui Bing'er froze, deeply moved.

She had originally intended to keep asking about the relationship between Xue Tianmo and Qian Renxue.

Yet Xue Tianmo's sudden presentation of a thirty-thousand-year left arm soul bone immediately disrupted her thoughts.

"I... I can't accept this! It's far too precious!"

Shui Bing'er shook her head, unwilling to take it.

Earlier, Xue Tianmo had already given her a Soul Ascension Fruit.

After consuming it, her Martial Soul had evolved directly from an Ice Phoenix into the Nine-Turn Ice Phoenix.

It was precisely because her Martial Soul had undergone Martial Soul Evolution that the two of them had successfully performed the Martial Soul Fusion Skill earlier.

And now, Xue Tianmo was giving her a soul bone as well. Shui Bing'er was at a complete loss, for she could not accept such a gift without merit.

"Sister Bing'er, don't refuse. If you hadn't arrived in time earlier, I might have died—"

What Xue Tianmo had not expected was that before he could finish speaking, Shui Bing'er suddenly leaned in and kissed him.

After the kiss, Shui Bing'er lowered her head and said shyly, "Brother Tianmo, you'll be fine. Don't keep talking about death all day."

"I'll accept this soul bone, then."

As she spoke, Shui Bing'er took the soul bone from Xue Tianmo. Without delay, she began absorbing it on the spot.

At the same time, she secretly sighed, Sigh! Brother Tianmo is simply too outstanding.

There are countless girls who want to pursue him. One more girl like that earlier one makes no difference!

I need to find a way to win Brother Tianmo first and become his principal wife!

Meanwhile, Xue Tianmo had a thought and checked his own information.

Within the system panel, the Sign-in Points he had accumulated over this period had already surpassed two million.

Only two million! It's still nowhere near enough! I need more!

Earlier, Xue Tianmo had taken a liking to a piece of Mysterious Ice Mother Gold in the system shop.

Once used, this Mysterious Ice Mother Gold could fuse his first Martial Soul, the Ice Frost Dragon Martial Soul, with his second Martial Soul, the Ice Sword.

At that point, his Martial Soul would rival an artifact—or even a Super Divine Artifact!

However, exchanging for the Mysterious Ice Mother Gold required a full ten million Sign-in Points.

He only had two million Sign-in Points now, still quite far from his goal of ten million.
