Parting! A Sentence That Would Change Shui Bing'er's Life

Back at the inn.

At this moment, Shui Lingyu, Shui Bing'er, and the others came before Guang Yu and Qian Renxue, thanking them gratefully. "Young Master Guang Yu, and this young lady, I never expected you to have such powerful backing. Thank you for helping us this time. On Bing'er's behalf, I thank you both once again."

"Bing'er truly loves that Ice Phoenix. If that spoiled young miss from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had damaged it, she would probably have cried for days."

Guang Yu smiled. "You're too polite, Senior."

At that moment, Shui Bing'er asked Qian Renxue, "Sister, may I ask what your name is?"

Qian Renxue was quite fond of a little girl like Shui Bing'er, who was both adorable, well-behaved, and polite.

She smiled and patted Shui Bing'er's head. "Just call me Sister Xue'er, like he does."

"Mm, got it, Sister Xue'er. Thank you too~!"

"Little Bing'er, do you like the Ice Phoenix that much?" Guang Yu asked.

"Mm-hmm~"

"Hehe, then Big Brother will give you an Ice Phoenix too."

"Oh!?" Shui Bing'er's bright, watery eyes widened.

Guang Yu smiled and released his Extreme Ice, condensing a large block of ice before them.

Shui Lingyu was utterly shocked. "What terrifying Ice Attribute energy! This young man's ice power is actually far stronger than mine!!"

"I didn't sense any Ice Attribute energy from that Light Sword earlier! Could it be...!"

Shui Lingyu seemed to have guessed something.

Guang Yu then released the Light God Sword and swiftly carved the block of ice.

The large block of ice gradually took the shape of a phoenix.

A few minutes later, a perfect Ice Phoenix had been carved.

It looked more imposing, domineering, majestic, and powerful than the Ice Phoenix toy in Shui Bing'er's hands.

Shui Bing'er stared in amazement, her eyes sparkling. "Wow, what a cool Ice Phoenix!"

"Do you like it?"

"Thank you, Brother Yu! Bing'er loves it so much~" Shui Bing'er jumped around excitedly, admiring the ice-carved phoenix from every angle.

Guang Yu smiled. "An ice sculpture made from my Extreme Ice won't melt at all for thirty days as long as it's placed in an iron box, packed with some ice, and properly protected."

"Thank you, Young Master Guang Yu, for giving Bing'er this gift. I will transport this Ice Phoenix back to Skywater City without so much as a scratch."

Shui Bing'er gazed longingly at the ice phoenix sculpture. "It would be wonderful if Bing'er could awaken a Martial Soul just like this Ice Phoenix."

Hearing that, Guang Yu gave her a definite answer. "Little Sister Bing'er, you will."

"Really, Brother Yu!"

"You definitely will." Guang Yu said with conviction, because he had sculpted it according to Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix Martial Soul.

Her Martial Soul was a top-tier Ice Attribute Beast Martial Soul—the Ice Phoenix!

"That's great! I believe Brother Yu~" The innocent Shui Bing'er truly believed him. She also said enviously, "I hope Bing'er can become a Soul Master as powerful as Brother Yu someday."

"Hehe, becoming as powerful as me might be difficult, but your future will be extraordinary too," Guang Yu said seriously.

Shui Bing'er was absolutely a top-tier genius!

She was only one year older than Tang San. During the Soul Master Tournament, Tang San was fourteen and Shui Bing'er was fifteen, yet fifteen-year-old Shui Bing'er had already reached level 43 Soul Ancestor!

At the Soul Master Tournament, where geniuses gathered, the Shrek Seven Devils would not even have been worthy of comparison to Shui Bing'er in terms of talent if they had not absorbed Immortal Herbs—except for Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Then there were Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin, Dugu Yan, Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuyun, and even Spirit Hall's Golden Generation trio: Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan.

All of those geniuses were at least three or four years older than Shui Bing'er.

If Shui Bing'er had been the same age as Hu Liena, her Soul Power would certainly have surpassed Hu Liena's.

Thus, Shui Bing'er's talent surpassed all of theirs. She could be called a top-tier genius without any cheats.

Talent was not determined solely by the level of one's Innate Soul Power.

If she received Immortal Herb resources for cultivation, her future potential would also be limitless.

"Alright, it's getting late. Time to rest."

"Then we won't disturb you any longer. Bing'er, once you've packed the ice phoenix sculpture Brother Yu gave you, we should rest early too."

"Mm-hmm~"

A while later.

Guang Yu and Qian Renxue booked their rooms, one each, and went to sleep early.

The next morning.

Guang Yu and Qian Renxue came to the dining hall for breakfast, preparing to set off afterward, when they ran into Shui Bing'er and the others, who had also come for breakfast.

So everyone shared a table and ate together.

Shui Lingyu invited them to ride in their carriage, offering to take them partway since they were headed in the same direction. Guang Yu and Qian Renxue did not refuse.

Everyone set off together.

Along the way, they chatted and laughed, getting along wonderfully. Shui Bing'er also became much more familiar with Guang Yu and Qian Renxue, and she felt very happy.

Half a day later.

They reached a crossroads. It was time to part ways.

Shui Bing'er was very reluctant to say goodbye. "Brother Yu, Sister Xue'er, we... we'll meet again, right?"

Guang Yu and Qian Renxue exchanged smiles and simultaneously patted Shui Bing'er's little head. "Of course we will."

"Alright, Senior, Bing'er, farewell."

Guang Yu and Qian Renxue decisively stepped down from the carriage.

Shui Bing'er waved goodbye, looking somewhat sad. "Brother Yu, Sister Xue'er, if you have time, you must come to Skywater City and play with Bing'er~"

"Alright, we'll go if we get the chance."

"Oh, right, Bing'er. If you want to become a powerful Titled Douluo in the future, join our Spirit Hall after you finish your academy years."

"Goodbye."

After leaving those final words behind, Guang Yu turned and left with Qian Renxue.

Watching Guang Yu and Qian Renxue's retreating figures, Shui Bing'er softly murmured, "Titled Douluo... join Spirit Hall."

Those words left a deep mark on Shui Bing'er's heart.

Because of that single sentence, she would change the course of her life.

After they parted, Qian Renxue asked in confusion, "Guang Yu, you seem to think very highly of that girl Bing'er. Do you think she can become a powerful Titled Douluo in the future?"

"If she can obtain an Immortal Herb resource, becoming Titled is guaranteed," Guang Yu said with certainty.

"Oh? So she's a genius?" Qian Renxue was quite surprised.

She had not expected a little girl they had met by chance to possess the potential to become Titled. It was not as though anyone who consumed an Immortal Herb could become Titled; they needed exceptional talent to begin with.

"Shui Bing'er truly is a rare genius. If she can join our Spirit Hall in the future, she will become a powerful Titled Elder as well."

The two continued onward as they talked.

Two days later.

Qian Renxue looked at the map. "Guang Yu, in at most an hour, we'll pass through a small city called Nuoding City. There aren't many Soul Masters in this sort of small city on the empire's outskirts, so there probably won't be many criminal cases involving Soul Masters. Should we go in and take a look?"

"Nuoding City, huh."

What a city that felt both familiar and unfamiliar to Guang Yu!
