The Mysterious Chief Disciple Purple Seal

"Sit enthroned in the frosty heavens." Yu Tianshuang turned and summoned his Frost Dragon Martial Soul, activating Martial Soul Possession.

Having successfully blocked Yu Tianshuang's escape, the Ice Jade Scorpion stopped fleeing as it watched its prey nearby, its egg-sized eyes fixed on him.

The next moment, the Ice Jade Scorpion suddenly accelerated toward Yu Tianshuang, swinging both pincers to seize him.

"Ice Shadow Seven Star Steps!"

As the Ice Jade Scorpion charged at him, icy mist swirled around Yu Tianshuang's feet. He slipped sideways past the two enormous pincers closing on his body, nearly brushing against them.

Ice-blue Soul Power surged over his right hand, and he struck the Ice Jade Scorpion's body with his palm before using the recoil to drift backward.

The spot Yu Tianshuang had struck began to freeze at once, the frost spreading until the Ice Jade Scorpion was encased in ice in almost the blink of an eye.

"One sword chills fourteen provinces with frost. Sword, come!"

While the Ice Jade Scorpion was frozen, Yu Tianshuang immediately summoned his other Martial Soul, Heavenly Frost Cold Qi.

Crack! Almost as soon as Yu Tianshuang summoned Heavenly Frost Cold Qi, the Ice Jade Scorpion burst out of the ice.

"Ice Heaven Frost Sword-Ice Heaven Concentrated Spirit!"

Seeing the Ice Jade Scorpion break free, Yu Tianshuang did not hesitate. He unleashed the strongest attack he currently possessed.

A streak of ice-blue sword Qi radiating a frosty chill flew from the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi in Yu Tianshuang's hand toward the Ice Jade Scorpion, which had just broken free.

Apparently sensing the power of Yu Tianshuang's sword Qi, the Ice Jade Scorpion struck its two enormous pincers together. They flashed with light, and an ice wall appeared before the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

Boom! The sword Qi struck the ice wall summoned by the Ice Jade Scorpion, but failed to pierce it.

Then, at the very spot where the ice wall had been struck, a three-meter-long Ice Flower Cluster emerged from its surface and instantly hit the Ice Jade Scorpion.

Struck by the second stage of Ice Heaven Concentrated Spirit's sword Qi attack, the Ice Jade Scorpion was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture.

Yu Tianshuang did not stop moving, because he knew this one attack was not enough to kill the 1,500-year-old Soul Beast.

"Ice Shadow Seven Star Steps!" Frost rose beneath Yu Tianshuang's feet, and with Ice Shadow Seven Star Steps, he instantly circled around the ice wall blocking his path.

"Ice Heaven Frost Sword-Icy Heaven Spirit Concentration Triple Slash!"

Having just rounded the ice wall, Yu Tianshuang kept his hands moving. Icy mist swirled around the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi, and he thrust his sword forward with his right hand. Three streaks of ice-blue sword Qi shot toward the Ice Jade Scorpion.

Boom, boom, boom. With three reports, the three streaks of sword Qi Yu Tianshuang had sent at the Ice Jade Scorpion struck it hard while it was still an ice sculpture. Immediately afterward, three three-meter-long Ice Flower Clusters erupted behind the sculpture.

"Huff, huff..." Yu Tianshuang steadied his breathing and looked at the "ice sculpture" ahead.

It's not dead yet. The Soul Ring hasn't appeared.

It still isn't dead after taking so many of my attacks. A 1,500-year-old Soul Beast really is formidable.

At that moment, 300 meters from where Yu Tianshuang and the Ice Jade Scorpion were fighting.

"Auntie, big sister's first Soul Skill, Ice Seal, is so powerful. I want a Soul Skill even more powerful than hers, okay?"

The speaker was a girl with long sky-blue hair, and her slightly wheedling tone and expression were very cute.

"Your sister is a control-type Soul Master, while you're an agility attack-type. What, are we supposed to hunt down an Ice Seal skill for you too, so you can charge over and freeze people?" Shui Xinrou stroked the girl's hair and spoke to Shui Yue'er in a somewhat helpless tone.

"All right, all right. But my First Soul Ring has to be at the maximum age of 463 years. That's the only way I won't be weaker than big sister."

"Stop reading that so-called 'Grandmaster's' theory about the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul. Most of what he wrote in that book had already been established by those who came before him. And on this point alone, everyone's physical condition is different, so how could everyone absorb Soul Rings of the same age? Your sister's Martial Soul is the Ice Phoenix, one of the finest ice-type Beast Martial Souls on the continent. The enhancement her Martial Soul gives her is nothing your Jade Dolphin can compare with. You might not be happy to hear me say that, but it's the truth. This time, I'm planning to find you a 400-year-old Soul Beast. Four hundred years is just right for you."

Hearing Shui Xinrou's words, Shui Yue'er pouted unhappily and grumbled under her breath, "If my Martial Soul were an Ice Phoenix, I'd absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Then I'd scare the other side to death as soon as I activated my Martial Soul."

Hearing Shui Yue'er's quiet muttering, Shui Xinrou shook her head helplessly.

"Soul Power fluctuations. There are Soul Masters fighting up ahead. Come on, let's go take a look."

Shui Xinrou sensed the fluctuations of Soul Power from a fight ahead. Her expression turned cold, and she hurried toward Yu Tianshuang with Shui Yue'er.

This Soul Beast's armor, like ice-blue diamond, is far too troublesome. Most of my attacks have been absorbed.

Having dodged the Ice Jade Scorpion's pincer attack, Yu Tianshuang looked at the Ice Jade Scorpion, its body covered in sword marks from his attacks, and could not help thinking.

No, my Soul Power won't hold out much longer. I have to finish it with the next attack, or I'll be worn down to death.

As if sensing Yu Tianshuang's resolve, the Ice Jade Scorpion's tail stinger, which it had not used once since the fight began, started glowing along its entire length. The ice-blue stinger at its tip then sprayed a fan-shaped cloud of icy mist that engulfed Yu Tianshuang.

Yu Tianshuang had just used Ice Shadow Seven Star Steps to dodge the Ice Jade Scorpion's pincer attack. Before he could react, the fan-shaped icy mist from its tail stinger froze him.

Shui Xinrou, who had just arrived nearby, happened to see this. She grew anxious, but though she was a Soul Douluo, she could not cross such a distance in an instant to save Yu Tianshuang.

The Ice Jade Scorpion swung its two enormous pincers at the frozen Yu Tianshuang.

Suddenly, a burst of dazzling purple light radiated from Yu Tianshuang's body, and a purple seal floated out of him. The brilliant light not only blocked the pincers closing on him, but also instantly broke the ice around him.

Before Yu Tianshuang had time to think, his instinct for battle took over. The instant the purple light knocked the Ice Jade Scorpion's two front pincers aside, he swung a streak of sword Qi at its vulnerable, undefended mouthparts. The incomparably sharp sword Qi pierced through the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion at point-blank range, splitting it in two. Its enormous body crashed to the ground, but not a drop of blood sprayed from the wound where Yu Tianshuang's sword Qi had severed the scorpion's corpse; it had all been frozen by the frost accompanying the sword Qi.

It's the Chief Disciple Purple Seal. Recognizing the purple seal that had saved his life, Yu Tianshuang felt his emotions surge.

Not far away, Shui Xinrou breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Yu Tianshuang turn the tables and kill his enemy in a desperate situation. She had recognized the boy at first sight: he was the one with the Frost Dragon Martial Soul who had awakened his Martial Soul alongside Shui Yue'er in Hagen-Dazs City.

Although she was curious why he had appeared in the Frozen Forest alone, this was not the time to think about it, because the boy nearby was preparing to absorb the purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring produced by the Ice Jade Scorpion.

The chance of a top-tier Soul Beast like the Ice Jade Scorpion appearing on the outskirts of the Frozen Forest was as rare as a human possessing Innate Full Soul Power. The Ice Jade Scorpion was also a kind of existence that stood at the pinnacle of ice-attribute Soul Beasts. Its Soul Ring was both the dream and the nightmare of every ice-attribute Soul Master.

That was because ordinary adult Ice Jade Scorpions were born with the Ultimate Ice attribute. It was said that someone had once seen a hundred-thousand-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion King in the Far North, and Shui Xinrou knew that an Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion surpassing the hundred-thousand-year level also existed there.
