Douluo: Reincarnation of Leosli, punishing the evildoers
Chapter 351 Cultivating the Mind
Shui Bing'er's figure appeared particularly lonely in the wind and snow. Her steps were slow, but she never stopped. The cold wind howled, and snowflakes cut across her cheeks like knives, but she was oblivious, her gaze fixed on the endless steps ahead.
Leosley stood at a distance, hands behind his back, his gaze deep and unfathomable. He stared at Shui Bing'er's retreating figure, his lips slightly pursed, as if deep in thought. Siegwen stood beside him, her hands clasped in front of her chest, a hint of worry on her brow.
“Duke…” Siegwen spoke softly, her voice carried by the wind, “Aren’t you worried that she won’t be able to hold on?”
Leosley didn't answer immediately, but merely glanced at her sideways, a hint of coldness in his eyes. "Her path is hers to walk."
Hisewen bit her lower lip, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent. She turned to look at Shui Bing'er, her gaze falling on that slender figure, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Meanwhile, Shui Bing'er's steps grew increasingly heavy. Her legs felt like lead, each step requiring immense effort. The icy wind, carrying snow and ice, relentlessly lashed at her body, as if trying to tear her apart. Her breathing became rapid, her chest heaving violently, each inhale feeling like she was inhaling shards of ice, the biting cold spreading from her throat throughout her entire body.
"Not enough...not nearly enough..." she murmured softly, her voice hoarse and weak.
"Duke, do you need help?"
Seeing that Shui Bing'er was struggling, Xigewen seemed to want to go forward and help.
"Need not."
Leosley gave a curt reply, then waved his hand lightly. "You and I both know that what she needs is to test her willpower. If she goes up now, it will not only not help her willpower, but it will also disrupt her plans."
"If this temple really intends to harm her, and she is doing her best, then it's not too late to take action."
He had earned the title of "Duke" without any help from anyone, and now he naturally hoped that Shui Bing'er would have the same will.
As for the temple, it was probably frightened by Leosley's "killing intent" and wanted to summon Frost.
But if they themselves don't dare to make a move, how could they possibly do so?
I can't persuade them to leave, so I guess I'll just have to let them languish.
Anyway, they'll disappear once this mission is completed, and then the Ice God Temple will just be a decoration.
Leosley's words seemed to have some kind of inexplicable power; after hearing them, the worry in Siegwen's eyes faded slightly.
"The Duke is right."
Leosley nodded, seemingly having already anticipated this situation, after all, the gods of Douluo Continent are not the kind of people who can be easily replaced.
Moreover, judging from Siegwen's current attitude, it seems that she has guessed something.
As Leosley's voice faded, the surrounding chill seemed to intensify, as if to freeze the space completely.
this.
Can't afford to play?
Leosley smiled, and the Eye of God on his back glowed slightly, instantly dispelling the surrounding chill.
However, as his words fell, a deep and ancient "crack" sound suddenly came from the depths of the ruins. It was as if some ancient being had awakened, or as if some rules had collided, carrying an inexplicable power.
But after only a moment, the surrounding cold air condensed again.
Leosley didn't make a move because he knew that on the Douluo Continent, gods were not allowed to act casually, not even when the inheritor encountered difficulties.
Unless it's a matter of life and death, the gods will never lay a hand on those who are being tested.
However, this only applies to the main characters.
Of course, the inheritance of a divine position is another matter. In the original story, Tang San inherited the position of the Sea God. The Deep Sea Demon Whale King wanted to kill Tang San but failed, so he wanted to take his place. As a result, the Sea God personally intervened and refined the heart of the new Sea God.
However, as a dead god, the Ice God
There's no way I can step in anymore.
After all, she had long since disappeared.
However, there was no reaction from the surroundings.
Leosley raised an eyebrow slightly, as if he had guessed something.
"Head Nurse, what do you think we should do now?"
This time, Leosley consulted with Hitchcock.
After all, she is the professional head nurse.
Leosley's words echoed through the empty ruins, carrying an undeniable power. The surrounding space seemed to fall into an eerie silence after those words, offering no response whatsoever.
“Duke,” Siegfried’s voice was exceptionally clear in the silence, “what else do you think we can do?”
Leosley paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Perhaps we can observe the situation before making a decision."
Shui Bing'er didn't hear what Leosley and Siegwen were saying, or rather, she hadn't heard any sound since she stepped onto the steps, except for the surrounding chill.
She gritted her teeth, trying to stay conscious and not let the cold seep into her will.
When she reached the fifty-first step, the surrounding cold air became even more intense, and she could even see the white mist condensing into frost with her breath, clinging to her eyelashes and the ends of her hair.
Moreover, the moment she stepped onto the icy steps, the ground beneath her feet began to blur, as if it were about to swallow her whole.
She saw a hallucination.
Indeed, the steps of the Ice God Temple are similar to those of the Sea God Temple, or rather, the God Trials in Douluo Continent are basically all the same. The higher the steps, the more pressure they bring, as well as the invasion of inner demons.
As she stepped down, she saw herself as a child, standing in an unfamiliar place.
She was surrounded by endless darkness, and in her hand she held a lantern, its dim light illuminating her face. Her gaze was resolute, as if she had seen something that terrified her.
Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but the fear in her heart rose up uncontrollably. The things that happened when she was a child were vivid in her mind, and those memories that she had hidden seemed to resurface at this moment.
She saw her mother, she saw her father, and she saw the dark past.
That little girl, hailed as a "genius," once stood proudly with her chin held high amidst the envious gazes of countless people.
Becoming stronger is not something that can be achieved overnight. She was hailed as a child prodigy, but people only saw her brilliance in public, without ever seeing her hard work and dedication behind the scenes.
Shui Bing'er stood on the fifty-first step, and the scene before her suddenly changed. She was back in her childhood, standing in a dark forest, holding a dim yellow lantern in her hand.
A cold wind blew, and the lantern's light flickered, illuminating her pale face. Her heart raced, and she heard whispers in her ear, as if something was watching her from the darkness.
"Don't be afraid..." she whispered to herself, her voice trembling in the cold wind. Her hands gripped the lantern tightly, her fingertips almost numb. The ice and snow beneath her feet seemed to come alive, slowly writhing, trying to pull her into the abyss. (End of Chapter)
