Douluo: I am an ice shooter, my ice power is invincible

Chapter 6 You Will Become Captain
Colleges that participate in the Soul Master Competition can not only demonstrate their strength, but also attract many sponsors and even enjoy the Imperial Royal Subsidy, which has many benefits for the development of the college.

Therefore, Soul Master Academy attaches great importance to the Soul Master Competition.

Although Tianshui College is a purely women's college, as an old college, its overall strength is quite good.

However, they never made it to the final three.

This is also one of the goals they are striving to achieve.

Xiao Han knew that according to the original timeline, Tianshui College would still not be among the top three in the Soul Master Competition ten years later.

But, things are different now.

As a time traveler who is familiar with the plot, he has every opportunity to change everything that has not happened yet.

Ten years is enough.

~~~~~
Two days later, Lin Zhiruo took Xiao Han and Shui Bing'er to the frozen forest in the far north.

The three of them took a carriage and headed north, and finally arrived at their destination after more than half a month.

After getting off the carriage, the three of them walked into the forest.

This world of ice and snow seems like an ancient secret place lost in nature, eternally sealed by endless ice and snow.

As you step into this area, a sharp and fresh chill hits you in the face, penetrating into your bones, making you shudder involuntarily.

All around are endless snow-capped mountains, towering tall and majestic, with their peaks covered with white snow all year round. The sun occasionally penetrates the clouds and shines on them, flashing a dazzling and mysterious light.

At the foot of the mountain is a strange forest made up of huge ice crystal trees.

The branches of these trees are crystal clear, as if they were carved from the purest ice, and the leaves are tiny icicles that make crisp and pleasant sounds as the wind blows.

The ground was covered with thick snow, which was soft to step on and left deep footprints with every step.

This was the first time Xiao Han and Shui Bing'er came to the forest to hunt soul beasts, and they were both very excited.

The three of them walked and talked.

"It's so beautiful here."

Shui Bing'er exclaimed in admiration.

Lin Zhiruo smiled and shook her head.

"Bing'er, I felt the same way when I first came here. We are all cold attribute soul masters, so we don't feel much about the extremely low temperature here. But for those soul masters who are not cold attribute soul masters, this is a land of death. Because they have to constantly consume soul power to resist the cold, the colder it gets towards the center of the forest, the more difficult it is for them to bear. Therefore, many soul masters die in this forest every year."

"Dean Lin, I don't understand why those non-cold attribute soul masters would risk coming here to hunt soul beasts?"

"Because there are soul beasts here that are not found in the Star Dou Great Forest, such as the Mirror Shadow Beast and the Ice Demon Snake. Moreover, soul beasts that survive in such an extreme environment are even more powerful."

Shui Bing'er nodded, not quite understanding.

She had learned a little about those cold-attribute soul beasts from the books in the academy library. Some cold-attribute soul beasts did have special abilities.

Lin Zhiruo continued:

"I could have taken you to the Xingdou Great Forest to find a suitable water-attributed soul beast, but the soul beasts with cold attributes in the Frozen Forest are definitely more suitable for you."

"Mom, I know this. If the attributes are perfectly matched, the increase in strength will definitely be greater after absorbing the spirit ring or spirit bone."

"Yes. This is your first spirit ring, so you must not be careless."

Xiao Han laughed and said:
"In that case, Mom, please help Bing'er and I find a soul beast that is about 400 years old. After absorbing its soul ring, it may help us increase our soul power by two levels."

"You are only six years old, and your first spirit ring is already four hundred years old? Are you kidding me? With Bing'er's physique and mental strength, she might be able to barely absorb a four hundred year spirit ring, but I'm afraid you can't."

"I'm not kidding. Mom, I'm serious."

Xiao Han knew that according to the theory that Yu Xiaogang had secretly learned from the Spirit Hall, under normal circumstances, the maximum number of years a spirit master could absorb his first spirit ring was four hundred and twenty-three years.

However, the quality of martial souls, physical fitness and mental strength of different soul masters are different, and this is only a theoretical age.

Lin Zhiruo suddenly thought of something and scolded:
"Xiao Han, don't be disrespectful. Bing'er is your senior sister."

"Dean Lin, it's okay. I'm only one year older than Xiaohan." As she spoke, Lin Zhiruo suddenly stopped moving forward.

"There are already soul beasts nearby."

"Where?"

Lin Zhiruo pointed down.

"There are many ice silkworms that have cultivated for decades in this snowy area, but they don't have much attack power. If we go further, we might encounter a hundred-year-old soul beast. Let's go and take a look ahead."

The three continued walking deeper into the forest.

The closer you get to the core of the forest, the more ferocious the soul beasts become.

However, the purpose of their trip was to hunt soul beasts that had cultivated for a hundred years, which they could encounter on the outskirts of the forest, so there was no need to go to the center of the forest.

Lin Zhiruo obtained all seven soul rings in the Frozen Forest and was familiar with the terrain of the forest.

But she still remained vigilant at all times, because even if she didn't reach the center of the forest, ferocious soul beasts might appear.

"You two must be tired after walking for so long. It's getting dark. Let's find a cave to rest."

"Ah."

Lin Zhiruo brought the two of them to the foot of a big mountain, where there was a cave.

This cave is very small, only about ten square meters.

Xiao Han looked carefully and found that there seemed to be traces left by human soul masters here.

"Mom, is this the place you often stay?"

"Yes. It's not easy to find a decent cave in the frozen forest. Staying in it can temporarily avoid the wind and snow, but it is also very dangerous. There may be soul beasts waiting in the dark."

"With Mom here, it's unclear who the rabbit is. We can use ourselves as bait to attract them over, and maybe we can hunt down a suitable soul beast."

Lin Zhiruo smiled, and seemed to have the same idea.

"It's getting late. You and Bing'er should go to bed first. I'll keep watch."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mom."

After Xiao Han set up the tent, he slept on the same mat with Shui Bing'er, but they were not in the same quilt; they slept separately.

Looking at Shui Bing'er's bright eyes, Xiao Han asked:

"Bing'er, are you afraid?"

"With Dean Lin here, of course I'm not afraid."

"I have a feeling that in five years, you will join the Tianshui College team and become the new captain."

Shui Bing'er smiled softly.

"The academy team consists of only eleven players, including the main players and substitutes, selected from hundreds of people. You say I can be the captain? I don't believe it."

"You have to have confidence in yourself. My hunch is very accurate."

"how about you?"

"With my talent, I'm sure I can join the team. When the time comes, I'll be your strongest support."

Late at night.

Xiao Han and Shui Bing'er had already fallen asleep.

Lin Zhiruo was guarding the cave entrance.

Suddenly, a low and shrill howl broke the silence of the night.
