The Skywater Team Surrounded by a Swarm of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts

Morning, 10:15.

Luo Zixi opened his pitch-black eyes and looked at Hu Liena, who was still clinging tightly to him, her breath warm and fragrant against his ear.

"Slap!"

The crisp slap was like an alarm clock, instantly waking Hu Liena from her dreams.

"Master, can you give me a kiss?"

Hu Liena's eyes were filled with little hearts. Luo Zixi tried to push her away, but she was simply far too forward.

After the kiss, he immediately got up. Bibi Dong had also awakened by then, and seeing her disciple throw herself into Luo Zixi's arms so eagerly left her with mixed feelings.

"We should get going. It'll probably be more than half a year before we obtain our next Soul Rings."

Luo Zixi stretched lazily, while Hu Liena straightened out her slightly rumpled cold-weather clothes.

Bibi Dong was much simpler. She wore some of Luo Zixi's spare clothes underneath, with a white cold-weather outfit over them.

After all, she was his female slave now. Luo Zixi couldn't exactly keep letting her go naked underneath.

Yet when she looked at Luo Zixi today, the hostility in her eyes seemed to be gone, replaced by a trace of respect and curiosity.

Just then, Snow Empress, like an elf of ice and snow, returned from the other side. When Bibi Dong saw her, fear once again appeared in her eyes.

Snow Empress merely gave her a teasing glance.

"Thanks to the god within you, I sacrificed myself to this little brat Zixi."

"Still, I'm quite surprised you survived. Among humans, you're the only one who has ever withstood three of my ultimate techniques head-on."

With that, Snow Empress revealed a disdainful smile before turning directly into icy-blue motes of light, merging into Luo Zixi's body and drifting into the Illusory Spirit Immortal Marsh.

Seeing the fear in Bibi Dong's eyes, Luo Zixi could not help sighing.

Ignorance really was terrifying. During this era, Snow Empress and Ice Empress had remained in the Far North and never revealed themselves to the world, leading the continent to believe that the Sky Azure Bull Python, which had not even reached two hundred thousand years, was the strongest Soul Beast.

Yet they had no idea that the two strongest ferocious beasts—one lay beneath the sea, while the other was in the deepest part of the Lake of Life.

"Her name is Snow Empress. She is the Ice God's High Priest, a Heavenly Snow Woman born of heaven and earth. In the Far North, she is nearly invincible beneath the gods. But the Rakshasa God triggered her seven-hundred-thousand-year Thunder Tribulation. To survive, she had no choice but to sacrifice herself to me."

Having said that, Luo Zixi walked straight outside.

"Hurry up. We should leave while the blizzard isn't too strong."

Bibi Dong stood stunned for several seconds before coming back to her senses. She truly had not expected such powerful Soul Beasts to exist on the continent.

Life God Trial, Second Test: Break through to the Soul Sage realm within one year; Reward: ???

Luo Zixi led Bibi Dong and Hu Liena toward the edge of the Far North. They traveled quickly and were expected to reach the Ice and Snow Manor, which Luo Zixi had previously slaughtered to the last man, before this afternoon.

"Master, where are we going after we leave here?"

As she walked through the swirling snow, Hu Liena's eyes held a hint of confusion.

"First, we retrieve something. Then, we kill two people."

Luo Zixi looked back toward Notting City. Tang San should still be studying in Notting City, and that old dog Tang Hao was definitely there as well.

Tang Hao already had old injuries. Luo Zixi refused to believe that the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python had not left anything behind on him five years ago.

But as the old saying went, capture the leader before capturing the bandits; in a group fight, deal with the rear line first.

He remembered clearly that behind God Soul Village stood two not particularly tall hills. The Blue Silver Emperor's seed and Soul Bone should both be there.

To prevent Tang Hao from using Ring Detonation to escape and then relocating with the Blue Silver Emperor and Tang San, Luo Zixi decided to get his former wife first.

With leverage in hand, he would have far more confidence when dealing with Tang Hao afterward.

Before they knew it, they had approached the boundary of the Far North—the Frost Forest.

However, just then, Luo Zixi's God's-eye view detected eight or nine people trapped by a group of ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts a li away?

He had not intended to interfere, but their location happened to lie directly along his route.

Meanwhile, inside the Frost Forest.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Everlasting Freeze Spear!"

As an azure-blue spear shot toward the massive python, the female Soul Master fighting it was nearly exhausted.

Boom!!!

Roar!!!!

The ice spear pierced the giant python's frost armor, but it only inflicted a relatively minor wound.

"Teacher Shuang!!"

"No!!"

Seven girls in matching uniforms, their bodies already drenched in blood, stared in despair at the Mystic Ice Python King that blotted out the sky.

None of them understood why such an eighty-thousand-year super Soul Beast had appeared at the very edge of the Far North!

"Crack!"

At that moment, a crisp sound rang out, and the entire Frost Forest fell into silence.

"Roar!!!!"

Along with another furious roar from the Mystic Ice Python King, the leading female Soul Master finally gathered the courage to open her eyes.

"Whoosh!!"

For some unknown reason, the eighty-thousand-year-old little snake was now flying toward the Inner Far North at an unbelievable speed.

As the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground rang out from afar, a masked young man dressed in Gilded Gold robes and two masked figures, one brown and one white, stepped out from behind the withered tree trunks.

"The Far North hasn't been very peaceful lately. You should come here less often in the future."

That was right. The one who spoke was Luo Zixi, who had just arrived, while the two people standing behind him with their faces hidden beneath the hoods of their cold-weather coats were the two female slaves, Bibi Dong and Hu Liena.

With that, Luo Zixi directly led Hu Liena and the others forward.

However, just then, the female Soul Master behind him called out to stop him.

"Thank you for saving my life, Your Excellency. I will never forget this kindness."

After hearing her words, Luo Zixi merely stopped and waved his hand casually. Your Excellency? He was no such thing.

Just as he was about to disappear from the leading female Soul Master's sight, she called out one final sentence.

"Your Excellency! I am Shuang Liuer, dean of Skywater Academy. If you have the time, please come visit our academy. From now on, you will always be an honored guest of our academy!!!"

Hmm? Skywater Academy?

Luo Zixi quickly remembered. This academy seemed to be composed entirely of women.

Its admission requirements were also extremely strict. Not only did one have to be beautiful, one also had to possess an ice- or water-element martial soul, and their talent had to meet the standard as well.

However, Skywater Academy was also the only elemental academy open to commoners, so stricter conditions were only natural.

He would need a proper identity if he wanted to settle down in the future. With that in mind, Luo Zixi immediately noted down Skywater Academy in his little notebook. If he had nowhere to go after finishing his revenge, he would come here and see whether he could get himself a position.

"Master, they're all top-tier beauties. Aren't you going over to get acquainted with them?"
