Meanwhile, on the Douluo Continent.
Inside a room at an inn in Suotuo City.
At the sight of the monster that had suddenly appeared on the sky screen, a trace of confidence suddenly flashed across Yu Xiaogang's face.
He clasped his hands behind his back, resuming his Grandmaster demeanor of seeing through everything.
"There's no need to panic!"
Yu Xiaogang began pointing at the sky screen and holding forth, his tone filled with certainty.
"Although this Great Thousand World is somewhat strange, this creature is absolutely nothing to fear!"
"According to my 'Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul' and the rules for determining a soul beast's age..."
"Look closely at its energy fluctuations and size. At most, this so-called monster is merely equivalent to a ten-year soul beast on our Douluo Continent!"
At this point, Yu Xiaogang sneered.
"Although Rongrong is a support-type Soul Master, and her martial soul has been temporarily suppressed."
"She is, after all, a Soul Grandmaster above rank twenty. Nourished by soul power over a long period, her physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary mortals."
"Against a mere ten-year soul beast, even if she has no means of attack whatsoever, her physical reflexes alone are more than enough for her to escape unscathed!"
Having finished speaking, Grandmaster finally sighed.
So what if it's the Great Thousand World? Not everyone here is some immortal!
Isn't this random wild beast by the roadside only on the level of a trash ten-year soul beast?
Meanwhile, on the ice plains of the Great Thousand World.
Just as Ning Rongrong was about to get up, turn around, and run.
"Roar!"
The Ice Crystal Horned Beast that Yu Xiaogang had judged to be a ten-year soul beast suddenly let out a roar!
"Boom!"
Immediately afterward, the Ice Crystal Horned Beast kicked hard with its hind legs, its entire body actually turning into a streak of white lightning in the air!
It was so fast that it even left a string of sonic booms across the snowfield!
Ning Rongrong saw nothing but a blur. Before even her thoughts could react, the Ice Crystal Horned Beast had already crossed dozens of meters and lunged straight in front of her!
Its sharp ice-crystal claws sliced through the air, heading straight for Ning Rongrong's throat!
"Ah!!!"
Feeling that terrifying aura, Ning Rongrong was frightened out of her wits and could only close her eyes in despair.
Fast!
Too fast!
Its strength was too terrifying!
How was this a ten-year soul beast?
Although this was only a beast from the lowest rung of the Great Thousand World, the speed and killing power it had just unleashed utterly outclassed even the ten-thousand-year soul beasts of the Douluo Continent!
Yet just when everyone thought Ning Rongrong was about to die on the spot, a sudden change occurred!
The Ice Crystal Horned Beast, which had already lunged in front of Ning Rongrong, suddenly seemed to sense some utterly terrifying presence!
Then, under the stunned gazes of Ning Rongrong and every living being across the continent.
The Ice Crystal Horned Beast forcibly twisted its body in midair, then plunged headfirst into the deep snow like a creature gone mad, scrambling and tumbling as it fled for its life!
In the mere blink of an eye, it vanished without a trace.
"W-what's going on?"
Having escaped death, Ning Rongrong slumped in the snow, gasping for breath, her face blank with bewilderment.
At that moment, everyone on the Douluo Continent was also dumbfounded.
"Could it... could it be that the hidden Super Douluo bloodline within Rongrong erupted and scared it away?" On the Douluo Continent, Yu Xiaogang could not help swallowing, still trying to explain it with his ridiculous theories.
Yet there was no need for his explanation at all.
Because the next second, heaven and earth suddenly darkened. Immediately afterward, the sky, which had been filled with swirling snow, seemed to be forcibly torn open by some colossal creature!
Sensing all of this, Ning Rongrong trembled as she raised her head, looking toward the sky along with the billions of living beings on the Douluo Continent.
Amid the raging wind and snow a hundred thousand feet in the air, a terrifying behemoth so enormous that words could not describe it slowly parted the clouds and came flying toward them.
It was an Ancient Frost Flood Dragon covered entirely in deep-blue scales!
Its body stretched tens of thousands of feet, like a mountain range!
The cold air from its breath alone formed a storm stretching hundreds of miles across the sky!
"Gasp!"
At the sight, people throughout the Douluo Continent collapsed to the ground in terror.
Because the pressure emanating from that flood dragon had already surpassed the gods!
Yet something even more hair-raising was still to come.
On the back of that enormous Ancient Frost Flood Dragon, tens of thousands of feet long, stood one magnificent, lavish palace after another!
Around the palaces stood countless powerhouses of the Great Thousand World, dressed in luxurious brocade robes, their auras unfathomable.
These people were actually using an ancient divine beast capable of destroying heaven and earth as a mount for transportation!
"Hahaha! No matter what, our Profound Ice Sect must take first place at the Ice Spirit Clan's ancestral ceremony this time!"
On the flood dragon's back, a gray-robed old man whose aura was as deep as an abyss and as vast as the sea, and whose every gesture seemed capable of crushing stars, stroked his beard and laughed heartily. His voice echoed between heaven and earth like thunder.
"You are absolutely right, Sect Master!"
Several elders beside him hurried to flatter him, their eyes filled with reverence.
"This is the Ice Spirit Clan we're talking about!"
"Who doesn't know that, back then, the Martial Ancestor, whose might shook the Great Thousand World, single-handedly fought his way through the entire Ice Spirit Clan to resurrect his beloved wife, the Ice Master..."
"Not only did the Ice Spirit Clan not decline, but through that connection to the Martial Ancestor's wife, they climbed straight onto the towering tree that is the Martial Realm!"
"In today's Great Thousand World, with the Martial Realm backing them, the Ice Spirit Clan is an undisputed overlord!"
"Even those lofty Heavenly Sovereign experts have to courteously present visiting cards when they come to the Ice Spirit Clan!"
"As long as our Profound Ice Sect can offer a precious treasure this time and curry favor with the Ice Spirit Clan, even the slightest connection would let us swagger through the Great Thousand World!"
At that moment, the utterly unguarded conversation among these powerhouses of the Great Thousand World also reached the ears of everyone on the Douluo Continent.
The Martial Ancestor?
He had single-handedly fought his way through a super clan?
Then, because of him, that clan had instead become a supreme overlord that even Heavenly Sovereigns had to treat courteously?
Heavenly Sovereigns?
Such earth-shattering gossip utterly short-circuited the brains of the Douluo Continent's frogs in a well.
And just then, at the edge of a palace on the Ancient Frost Flood Dragon's back.
A young master who looked about seven or eight years old, dressed in an exceptionally luxurious ice silkworm silk robe, was draped listlessly over a white jade railing, gazing down at the endless snowfields below.
He merely cast a casual glance, but happened to catch sight of Ning Rongrong in the snow below, pinned flat against the ground by the flood dragon's pressure and unable to move.
Because the pressure from the Ancient Frost Flood Dragon was simply too terrifying.
The faint soul power within Ning Rongrong was forcibly compressed, actually causing her previously sealed martial soul to burst uncontrollably out of her body!
