Huo Yuhao swallowed hard when he saw Xuan Zi, who had turned into an ice sculpture.
This was the first time he had ever seen his master's wife take action.
I didn't expect them to act so swiftly and decisively right away.
A powerful figure who was guaranteed to be Titled Douluo was frozen into an ice sculpture by her.
"Master's wife, is it really alright to do this?" Huo Yuhao asked, voicing his doubts.
"It's alright." Snow Empress shook her head, her expression softening again.
"Just a noisy old dog. Even if I were to turn him into an ice sculpture to reflect on his actions, what difference would it make if I actually killed him?"
Huo Yuhao's head jumped.
Ling Luochеn, standing to the side, was already dumbfounded, watching this scene in disbelief.
Ling Luochen, having been a student in the Inner Academy for several years, was very clear about the level of Taotie Douluo Xuanzi's strength.
The deputy head of the Mainland Inspection Corps, with the cultivation level of a Level 98 Super Douluo.
Even on the entire continent, he is a top-tier powerhouse.
Yet, this powerful figure couldn't even withstand a single move from Huo Yuhao's master's wife!
She could feel the pure, bone-chilling cold emanating from the Snow Empress.
This senior's mastery of Ice-type techniques has reached a level that is beyond her imagination.
Huo Yuhao noticed the change in Ling Luochеn's expression and understood.
He quietly tugged at Ling Luochеn's sleeve and winked at her.
Ling Luochеn was taken aback at first, then suppressed his excitement and respectfully bowed to the Snow Empress: "Junior Ling Luochеn greets Senior."
Snow Empress nodded slightly in response.
Soon, at Huo Yuhao's frantic urging, Ling Luochеn wisely left the place.
What's about to happen here is beyond the control of a mere student like her.
Silence returned to the training ground.
Snow Empress turned around and looked at Huo Yuhao, a gentle smile on her face.
Soon, she gently reached into her pocket, took out an item, and handed it to Huo Yuhao.
It was a crystal-clear Soul Bone, displaying a pure emerald green color.
Judging from its appearance, it is the 70,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone that the Snow Empress had previously obtained from the Starlight Auction House.
Huo Yuhao stared in disbelief at the Soul Bone handed to him.
"Since you've called me 'Master's Wife' so many times, consider this a small gift for us."
After a moment of stunned silence, Huo Yuhao finally dared to accept it and thanked Snow Empress, saying, "Thank you, Master's Wife."
" The Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone, of 70,000 years quality, can only be absorbed by the Ultimate Ice Soul Master, solidifying Soul Skill into the Ice Explosion Technique!" Snow Empress introduced in a calm tone.
Huo Yuhao nodded vigorously, a warm feeling welling up in his heart.
Upon hearing this, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in Huo Yuhao's mind was nearly driven mad with anxiety.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm writhed its enormous body frantically within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness, its voice filled with urgency:
" Yuhao! Hurry! Absorb it now! This is a top-grade Soul Bone produced by the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan!"
Do you know what this means?
If Snow Empress hadn't been outside, he would have already begun preparing to protect Huo Yuhao so that he could absorb the left arm bone!
" The Ice Jade Scorpion is one of the top Ice-type Soul Beast clans in the Far North; the value of their Soul Bone far exceeds your imagination!"
"The accompanying Soul Skill is Ice Explosion Technique! Ice Explosion Technique, Yuhao!"
For Ice-type Soul Master, this is a divine skill they dream of!
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was so excited that it jumped and leaped within its Sea of Consciousness.
If Snow Empress weren't Soul Master and unable to absorb Soul Bone Soul Bone, Huo Yuhao would never have gotten his hands on one.
Soon, amidst the Chatter of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao also realized the preciousness of this Soul Bone.
He looked down at the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone in his hand, and an indescribable excitement welled up in his heart.
My master's wife is really generous.
A 70,000-year-old Soul Bone, given away without a second thought, not even blinking an eye.
What are you still standing there for?
The Snow Empress said, "Absorb it now, I will protect you."
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and nodded emphatically.
He sat cross-legged and placed the crystal-clear, Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone against his own left arm.
Gradually, the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone began to melt, turning into a pool of pure emerald green liquid that slowly seeped into his left arm.
The absorption process was quite slow, testing Huo Yuhao's willpower every minute and every second.
Fortunately, he has no shortage of willpower.
Before long, when Huo Yuhao's Soul Bone Cheng Gang halfway complete, just as Snow Empress had predicted, the commotion here finally attracted the attention of the Titled Douluo of the Shrek Academy.
A whooshing sound came from afar, and a scorching aura was rapidly approaching.
The aura of light and fire suddenly arrived, and the first person to arrive was Bright Phoenix Douluo, Yan Shaozhe Dean of the Martial Soul Department of the Shrek Academy.
Yan Shaozhe landed, his gaze sweeping across the training ground, and his face immediately darkened.
When he saw the Taotie Douluo frozen into an ice sculpture, he was immediately enraged.
Someone actually dared to mess with their people at the Shrek Academy!
A flash of anger crossed his eyes, and his Soul Power suddenly erupted.
The Bright Phoenix Martial Soul instantly possessed him, and a magnificent phoenix phantom spread its wings behind him, radiating a scorching aura.
Nine Soul Ring— two yellow, two purple, and five black—slowly appeared beneath his feet.
However, even Xuan Zi was defeated by this woman whose strength was unknown. Although Yan Shaozhe had completed the Martial Soul Possession, he ultimately did not dare to make any rash moves.
He stared at Snow Empress's retreating figure, his eyes filled with apprehension.
Xuan Zi is a Level 98 Super Douluo, and even he is no match for this woman. If I rashly make a move, my fate will probably not be much better than Xuan Zi's.
Before long, the power of space flickered again, and an old figure appeared out of thin air in the training ground.
Mu En, who arrived late, finally appeared.
Upon seeing the two sides facing off, Mu En's brows furrowed deeply, and he froze in shock.
He was simply going to the outer courtyard to rest for a while, as usual, and he never expected that Taotie Douluo Xuanzi, who stayed in the inner courtyard, would cause him such a big trouble.
How did Xuan Zi manage to offend this living ancestor?
Xuan Zi, I 'Xuan Zi told you countless times to behave yourself and not cause any trouble lately!
Huo Yuhao's background is far more powerful than anything we can afford to offend; the person behind him...
Thinking of this, Mu En couldn't help but sigh, his heart nearly breaking.
Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, he had a general idea based on the scene before him.
Judging from Xuan Zi's condition, if Xuan Zi hadn't intended to do something to Huo Yuhao, why would Snow Empress suddenly attack him so severely inside the Shrek Academy?
Mu En knew Xuan Zi's personality all too well.
Xuan Zi, relying on the prestige of the Shrek Academy, never considers the consequences of his actions.
This time, they've probably bitten off more than they can chew.
He shifted his gaze to the Snow Empress beside him, his tone respectful and humble. "Your Excellency, this time it was due to my negligence in supervision... I hope you..."
Before Mu En could finish speaking, Yan Shaozhe seemed to have been given a shot of adrenaline.
Upon seeing the teacher arrive, he immediately felt more confident, straightened his back, and a look of grief and indignation appeared on his face.
Yan Shaozhe's gaze shifted to the Ice Seal Xuan Zi, and a pained expression appeared on his face as he spoke righteously:
"Teacher, these people have no regard for the law! How dare they run wild at the Shrek Academy!"
His voice was impassioned, as if he had suffered a great injustice. "Please, teacher, take action and subdue him!"
At this point, Yan Shaozhe's expression became even more upright and dignified, as if he were truly considering the overall situation of the academy.
Upon hearing this, Mu En nearly fainted.
Since Yan Shaozhe encouraged Taotie Douluo Xuanzi to take Huo Yuhao as his disciple, he was naturally also making his own ulterior motives.
Yan Shaozhe knew perfectly well that Huo Yuhao, who possessed the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, was of paramount importance to the Shrek Academy.
In Yan Shaozhe's view, only Shrek Academy was qualified to teach Huo Yuhao.
More importantly, for his disciple Ma Xiaotao, who possessed the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, Huo Yuhao was simply a savior.
As long as Taotie Douluo Xuanzi can successfully take Huo Yuhao, who possesses the ultimate ice-attribute martial soul, as his disciple,
Therefore, Huo Yuhao will naturally contribute to the academy in the future, and it is his duty to share the burdens of his fellow disciples.
At that time, Xiaotao's Evil Fire will naturally be resolved.
With this in mind, Yan Shaozhe became even more resolute.
Everything he did was for the academy and for his students.
Even if the methods used were somewhat harsh, they were understandable.
Thinking of this, Yan Shaozhe continued, " Xuan Zi's acceptance of Huo Yuhao as his disciple was entirely altruistic, and also for the future and overall interests of the academy!"
His voice grew increasingly agitated. "But I never imagined she would injure me like this..."
Snap!
Before the words were finished, a crisp slap echoed throughout the entire training ground.
Before Yan Shaozhe could finish speaking, Snow Empress Yan Shaozhe struck him across the face with a palm strike.
Yan Shaozhe was unable to react in time; his vision blurred, and a sharp pain shot through his face.
What terrified him even more was that an extreme chill surged into his body from the palm print, forcibly suppressing his Martial Soul back into his body.
Snow Empress didn't even glance at him, but instead formed a sword with her fingers and unleashed the same sword energy, heading straight for Yan Shaozhe.
Yan Shaozhe tried to dodge, but the chill that invaded his body slowed his movements by half a beat.
The sword energy struck him precisely, and in an instant, a layer of solid ice spread up from his feet, enveloping his entire body.
Soon, another lifelike ice sculpture appeared beside Xuan Zi.
The look of terror on Yan Shaozhe's face was frozen in the ice, so lifelike.
The entire training ground was deathly silent.
"Since you are from the Shrek Academy and don't know the rules, then don't blame me for taking action!" Snow Empress said coldly.
"Don't even think about melting these two ice sculptures. When they realize their mistakes, the ice will melt away on its own."
"If something like this happens again, things won't be so simple!"
At this point, Snow Empress snorted coldly, her voice filled with undisguised mockery:
"You Shrek Academy people are getting bolder and bolder, actually going so far as to steal disciples!"
Upon hearing Snow Empress's words, a bitter expression appeared on Mu En's face.
Now that things have come to this, how could he not understand that the Snow Empress's actions this time were already exceptionally lenient?
Otherwise, if they really angered Huo Yuhao's true master, the consequences would be truly unimaginable.
Soon, Mu En glanced again at his apprentice and nephew, who had been turned into ice sculptures.
He never expected that these two would be so unscrupulous in their actions.
He had clearly told the two of them that Huo Yuhao already had a master.
But who would have thought that the two of them, under the guise of doing what's best for the Shrek Academy, would try to Sheer Force take Huo Yuhao as their disciple?
Mu En shook his head, a deep sense of powerlessness welling up inside him.
They've been obsessed with Shrek's glory for too long; it's good that they've suffered setbacks and need some time to reflect.
Over the years, Shrek Academy's reputation has grown increasingly renowned, and the people within the academy have become increasingly arrogant and conceited.
These two had only themselves to blame. Mu En took a deep breath and bowed deeply to the Snow Empress: "Thank you for your mercy, Your Excellency."
Snow Empress glanced at him indifferently, said nothing, and turned to walk towards Huo Yuhao, who was absorbing the Soul Bone.
Mu En stood there, looking at the two ice sculptures, his expression extremely complicated.
"Master's wife, is it possible for those two Titled Douluo to wake up?"
Not long after, Huo Yuhao, having absorbed the Soul Bone, followed behind Snow Empress and asked with great interest.
"He can wake up." Snow Empress sneered.
"The premise is that they are able to recognize their mistakes..."
At this point, Snow Empress paused, then continued, "However, given their attitude just now, getting them to reflect on their actions is harder than climbing to heaven..."
Huo Yuhao clicked his tongue in surprise.
In other words, these two Titled Douluo will probably have to stay in the ice sculpture for the rest of their lives.
"Alright, Little Yuhao, you can now focus on your cultivation."
After leading Huo Yuhao inside, Snow Empress said, "After this incident, I'm sure no one in the Shrek Academy will dare to bully you anymore."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes filled with tears, and he looked like he was about to cry.
It had been a long time since anyone had been this kind to him.
"Thank you, Master's wife." Huo Yuhao sniffed hard, his voice choked with emotion.
After settling Huo Yuhao in, Snow Empress's body flashed with silver light, and she once again mobilized her spatial power to teleport away.
She originally intended to teleport directly to the underground space, which was where Lin Mo was.
But during the teleportation process, a powerful resistance suddenly appeared and stopped her.
Snow Empress's figure appeared in mid-air, and she found herself hovering near the Golden Tree.
Charizard, who was fast asleep inside the Sea God Pavilion, sensed a familiar presence from the outside world.
It extended a sharp Scratch and suddenly hooked, causing a spatial rift to open.
Snow Empress felt that the scene around him changed dramatically the moment the flower bloomed.
Upon re-entering the Golden Tree, Snow Empress wore a helpless expression.
Charizard's power is still terrifying.
She was powerless to resist him.
The underground space of the Golden Tree.
"Here, these are the things you asked me to buy." Snow Empress said, taking out the two items that Lin Mo had specifically requested from her storage space.
A flash of silver light appeared, and two items materialized out of thin air.
A carving knife emanating an eerie aura, and an ancient-looking God Sealing Platform bestowing divine favor.
The Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife and the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo sealed inside the God Sealing Platform.
"Not bad, not bad, the items are all correct." Lin Mo, having withdrawn his hand, looked at the two items floating in front of him and a smile appeared on his face.
Lin Mo extended his finger and flicked it lightly.
With a flick of his finger, a beam of holy light flashed.
The ominous Curse that Entanglement to the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife was instantly melted away under the holy light, just like ice and snow under the scorching sun.
The Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife returned to its original form, transforming into a carving knife shaped like a blue crystal.
Soon, Lin Mo made a grabbing motion out of thin air, and a large, identical cyan crystal suddenly appeared in his hand.
Both its material and color are exactly the same as the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife.
An invisible force of attraction arose between the two, Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife began to tremble slightly.
As soon as Lin Mo let go, the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife flew straight towards the cyan crystal.
The blue light intensified, and the two merged into one.
A moment later, the light faded, and the cyan crystal was a full size larger than before.
Seeing this, Lin Mo's face fell into deep thought.
Just as he expected.
The large piece of Gold of Life he obtained from the treasure vault of the Sun Moon Continent ten thousand years ago was the precursor to the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife.
The two are originally one, which is why we see this scene before us.
Without him even lifting a finger, the two pieces of Gold of Life naturally fused together!
Upon witnessing this scene, the Snow Empress was stunned for a moment, but quickly shifted her gaze from the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife to the God Sealing Platform.
" Lin Mo, who exactly is sealed inside this God Sealing Platform? Since you asked me to go and buy it back, you must know its origin, right?" Snow Empress bit her red lips lightly.
She had a few guesses in her mind, but she couldn't be sure.
"Just as I guessed, it's Soul Beast from our Far North?" Snow Empress pressed.
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's face revealed a playful smile, and he lightly tossed the Conferred God Sealing Platform in his hand. "So you want to know?"
Lin Mo's tone was full of mockery, as if he were preparing to watch a good show.
"You can't tell just by looking. Since it's good, why not open it up and everything will be clear?"
Snow Empress was slightly taken aback, feeling a bit conflicted.
Open in public?
If they really are from their Far North, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?
Choosing to return to human form was an act of escapism, but to actually be captured by humans is even more humiliating.
To have one's true identity exposed in public now is just too humiliating.
If it were her, she'd probably want to crawl into a hole and disappear on the spot.
A rare moment of hesitation appeared in Snow Empress's heart.
"There's one more thing. Do you know where the Snow Empress of this world is? I've searched for her for a long time in the Far North but haven't found her. She seems to have disappeared..." The Snow Empress tried to change the subject.
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's wicked smile deepened.
Crack!
Lin Mo shattered the God Sealing Platform with a single palm strike.
"Despicable humans! How dare you humiliate this Emperor like this!"
"Even if I die, I will not let you all die with me!"
The moment the God Sealing Tower was shattered, a voice filled with Rage and determination rang out.
Along with the sound came a bone-chilling cold that swept through the entire underground space.
However, before the Snow Empress Embryo could fully detonate and perish along with everything around it, her movements suddenly froze.
How is that possible?
Two almost identical, cold voices rang out at the same time.
Outside, the Snow Empress's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo that was now in a berserk state not far away.
Feeling this all-too-familiar aura, she finally understood why she, in this world, had disappeared.
The fury that the Snow Empress Embryo had felt earlier was suddenly replaced by astonishment at this moment.
How is that possible?
The woman in white not far away looked exactly like him.
Even more impressively, their breathing is perfectly synchronized!
"You've made quite a commotion," Lin Mo said casually.
As he spoke, he easily subdued the raging embryo with his hand.
The spontaneous Self-Destruct of the embryo was forcibly stopped.
After doing all this, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow at Snow Empress: "Look, isn't the Snow Empress you're looking for right here?"
Snow Empress covered her face and sighed deeply.
She finally understood why Lin Mo insisted on specifically asking her to buy the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo.
This guy still has the same twisted sense of humor as always!
They clearly know everything, yet they deliberately say nothing beforehand.
He insisted on opening the God Sealing Platform in front of her, so she could see her other self in such a humiliating state...
Snow Empress looked utterly dejected, wishing she could disappear into the ground.
What is this? Am I buying myself?
