Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 238, page 257: Two Years
"I haven't even stated my purpose yet, and you're already making things up." The giant scorpion impatiently waved its pincers. Then, it transformed into a twin-tailed loli and appeared in front of Shui Bing'er. The loli approached Shui Bing'er, reached out a finger to lift Shui Bing'er's chin, and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Ice Emperor, not the Ice Jade Scorpion you're imagining, but the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion!"

"Hmm!" Sensing the fear in Shui Bing'er's eyes, she smiled and said, "You don't need to be too afraid. I brought you here for no other reason than to give you an opportunity from the far north!"

"Give me a chance?" Shui Bing'er repeated.

"Your martial soul is the Ice Phoenix. Although it is very powerful, it is still far from being the true ultimate ice!" Ice Emperor said, arms crossed.

"Ultimate Ice?" Shui Bing'er clearly didn't have this concept in mind.

"What, you don't know?" Hyotei spread his hands, releasing a terrifying chill—

This extreme chill was something Shui Bing'er had never seen before. The difference between her Phoenix Ice and the Ice Emperor's Ice was like the contrast between a firefly and the radiance of the moon.

The intense chill came and went quickly. After Ice Emperor withdrew his hand, he said, "Well, do you want your Ice Phoenix Martial Soul to transform into the ultimate Ice Martial Soul?"

"Senior, what should I do?" Shui Bing'er swallowed hard and asked.

"If you want it, then come with me."

Shui Bing'er disappeared in the far north. The Shui family even asked other elemental families to search for her in the far north, but after a long search, they found nothing and could only conclude that Shui Bing'er had met with misfortune in the far north.

However, two years later, Shui Bing'er returned from the far north. When she returned, her strength had reached the Soul King realm, and her martial soul had undergone a further transformation, becoming the Ultimate Ice Phoenix.

Hurricane Cliff, situated amidst storms, is a natural training ground for wind-type Soul Masters, even better than the Mimicry Training Room.

Feng Xiaotian was cultivating his self-created soul skill in this Hurricane Cliff.

The entire cliff face of Hurricane Cliff was covered with the marks left by his strikes.

After the Gale Wolf unleashed its thirty-sixth consecutive strike, Feng Xiaotian laughed: "Hahahaha, the thirty-sixth consecutive strike, I succeeded! When Xiao Wu finds out that I have successfully created my own soul skill, she will definitely think more highly of me and eventually fall in love with me."

So, with the intention of sharing this good news with Huo Wu, Feng Xiaotian turned to leave when a voice came from behind him:
"Hey, little brother, little brother, don't go!"

Feng Xiaotian turned his head and saw a disheveled old man who looked like a beggar. The old man looked at Feng Xiaotian and suddenly exclaimed, "Wow, incredible! This is amazing!" He reached out and touched Feng Xiaotian's head, saying, "Do you know that a ray of spiritual light shoots out from the top of your head?"

Upon hearing the other person's words, Feng Xiaotian's face darkened. He reached out to push the other person's hand away, but found that no matter how hard he tried, the other person's hand remained firmly pressed against his head. The expert Feng Xiaotian immediately abandoned his contempt; he wanted to see what the other person was up to.

He withdrew his hand from his head, then patted and squeezed his own hands together, as if checking something. While making these strange gestures, he exclaimed, "To be able to create your own soul skill at such a young age—you're a once-in-a-century soul master genius! If one day you achieve enlightenment, wouldn't you soar to the heavens? As the saying goes, 'If I don't go to hell, who will?' Punishing evil and upholding peace on the Douluo Continent—this task is entrusted to you, okay?"

Feng Xiaotian: "." This is insane.

Then, he pulled two secret manuals out of his pocket.
"Now you have completed the training of the first thirty-six consecutive slashes of the Gale Wolf, but your self-created soul skill is not yet ready. What you have learned is only the first part, which can be considered an introduction. This book is called the Seventy-Two Consecutive Slashes of the Gale Wolf, which is the middle part. The second book is the One Hundred and Eight Consecutive Slashes of the Gale Wolf, which is the final part. I think we are destined to be together. I will charge you ten gold soul coins for each book and teach it to you."

Feng Xiaotian looked at the two manuals and was speechless. The Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes of the Gale Wolf was a soul skill he had just created. Where did this old man get the middle and later parts, and even 108 slashes? It was ridiculous.

Fortunately, ten gold soul coins weren't too many for Feng Xiaotian. He took out the gold soul coins from his pocket and handed them to the old man, saying, "Alright, consider these ten gold soul coins as my way of befriending you."

The old man accepted the ten gold soul coins, handed the Gale Wolf Seventy-Two Consecutive Slashes to Feng Xiaotian, and then turned and left.

Feng Xiaotian held the yellowed cultivation manual, looked in the direction the old man had disappeared, shook his head, and said, "What a strange person. He even asked me to maintain the peace of Douluo Continent. How ridiculous. Let me see what you're going to use to swindle me out of ten gold soul coins."

With curiosity, he turned the pages of the book, and as he read on, Feng Xiaotian's expression changed.

He quickly ran back to Hurricane Cliff and began practicing the moves from the book.

He tried and tried, until finally the thirty-six moves of the middle section seamlessly connected with his first thirty-six moves, as if the Gale Wolf Slash had always existed, and he had only learned the first thirty-six moves, with the middle and final thirty-six moves to follow. Feng Xiaotian began to doubt his life.

Then, he slapped his forehead and realized that he had only bought the middle section: "No, there's more, there's also the Thirty-Six Forms in the second part." Feng Xiaotian hurriedly chased after him, but the old man had already disappeared.

Spark Academy officially secured a spot in the competition, while Divine Wind Academy and Blazing Fire Academy merged.
All factions are going all out for the 100,000-year soul bone in the Soul Master Competition, but what about our Tang San?
Over the course of two years, Xiao Wu and Tang San's relationship seemed to have returned to what it was like during their time at the Notting City Soul Master Academy. In the time they spent alone together, Xiao Wu and Tang San grew much closer.

Of course, getting close to Xiao Wu is something Tang San enjoys immensely, but there are also some troubles. In order to take care of Xiao Wu, Tang San has greatly reduced his cultivation time.

Xiao Wu wanted to go out for a stroll, so Tang San had no choice but to give up his cultivation and accompany her.

Fortunately, trade with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School became more regular, and money was no longer a problem for Tang San. He could proudly tell Xiao Wu that he had the ability to satisfy all of Xiao Wu's consumption desires (he was now a qualified ATM).
However, Tang San didn't notice this problem at first. It wasn't until two years later that he realized the gap between him and his teammates was widening.
