Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 178 Meeting Friends from Tianshui Academy and Setting Off into the Far North

Tianshui City.

Tianshui College.

"Ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow has appeared in the far north?"

Upon hearing the news brought back by Shuiyue'er.

Shui Bing'er tapped the table unconsciously with her slender fingers, her long, icy blue gradient hair cascading down like a waterfall, making her pensive profile appear even more aloof.

After a moment of silence.

She parted her red lips slightly and said:
"I will set off for the town of Rinren shortly."

"This journey is dangerous; I will not insist that you go."

Xue Wu frowned upon hearing this.

"Sister Bing'er, when you broke through to level 50, you went to the Frozen Forest to hunt for soul rings, but you didn't hear any news about Li Zhexian at that time."

Are you sure he's still in the North?

"determine."

Shui Bing'er nodded, her tone resolute.

She paused, a barely perceptible glint of emotion flashing in her icy blue eyes, and continued:

"Back in the Soul Master Competition, he took a gold coin from me and kicked Hu Liena off the stage after she humiliated me."

“I am friends with Li Zhexian. Although I don’t know if I can be of any help, I still have to go.”

Shuiyue hugged her sister's arm with a grin.

"Of course I'm going too!"

"Let's see just how strong that freak has become in the past year and a half!"

She let out a soft groan, her snowy cheeks puffing out slightly.

"Hmph, we'll have to ask him. What kind of friend is it to deliver wine without even showing up!"

Xue Wu exchanged glances with the other girls, then nodded emphatically.

"Let's go too!"

Shui Bing'er lowered her voice a few decibels.

"There's no need to tell the teacher."

"We will act according to circumstances on this trip, and our own safety will be our top priority."

"Tsk, these bastards have a really good nose. In just one day, so many unfamiliar faces have appeared in town!"

"Tomorrow we'll be heading straight for the far north, so let's drink on the last day!"

Several burly men spat and cursed.

Oscar chimed in, his words unconsciously taking on a rougher tone.

He looked at the young man in the black fur coat who was surrounded in the middle.

"Brother Ji, do you think we can really get our hands on some ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow?"

Li Zhexian did not answer.

I stepped into the bustling tavern.

Perhaps it was because they were about to fight to the death tomorrow, but the tavern was unusually crowded today.

Laughter and the clinking of glasses pierced the ears; the smell of sweat and cheap alcohol mingled in the murky air, suffocating and intoxicating.

however.

When that black fur coat appeared at the door.

The once bustling tavern suddenly became somewhat still.

Even the fireplace flames were a little shorter.

As the vice-captain of Snow Bear, one of the four major mercenary groups, and with such an excessively young face, Li Ji's name is well-known in the town of Linren.

Oscar followed behind Li Zhexian, feeling the awe-inspiring gazes, and quietly straightened his back.

The tavern owner hurried over, sweat beading on his forehead.

"Mr. Ji, I'm so sorry, we're fully booked today, there are no seats available..."

The words have not yet fallen.

A chorus of rough greetings rang out.

"Hey! Deputy Regiment Commander Ji, this way please!"

"Master Ji, please do us the honor of sitting here!"

"I'm treating Master Ji to drinks today!"

Li Zhexian responded calmly.

His gaze swept across the entire tavern.

finally.

It paused briefly in a corner by the window.

"Let's settle on that table, share a table."

Say it.

Li Zhexian walked straight to the seat by the window.

You can only see it clearly when you get closer.

The table was occupied by seven beautiful young women who seemed completely out of place in this rough and murky place.

They were surrounded by a cool, icy soul energy, which seemed to purify the air in this small corner.

Oscar's eyes widened immediately.

What are you doing here?!

During the Soul Master Competition, Shrek Academy clashed with Tianshui Academy several times.

He was deeply impressed by the only women's college to make it to the finals.

Shui Bing'er glanced at Oscar, but her gaze didn't linger. Instead, it fell on the face of the young man in the black fur coat.

Shuiyue and the other girls looked Oscar up and down with curiosity.

"Huh? You're that food-type Soul Master from Shrek Academy?"

"How did it become like this?"

Oscar looked a little awkward.

He habitually pulled out a chair for Li Zhexian.

This is a long table that seats ten people.

With the seven girls plus Li Zhexian, there was only one spot left.

Oscar felt rather embarrassed to sit and chat with these "old friends" in his current state.

The burly mercenaries that Li Zhexian brought with them clearly kept their distance from the group of girls dressed in the uniforms of Tianshui Academy.

then.

The group tactfully dispersed.

They moved to another table.

Only Li Zhexian and Shui Bing'er, along with seven others, remained at the long table by the window.

Li Zhexian tilted his head back and gulped down a mouthful of strong liquor, his Adam's apple bobbing as he remained silent.

Shui Bing'er and the other seven girls frowned, seemingly enduring the sour smell in the air, their eyes occasionally glancing towards the door.

Ten minutes passed.

The scene of mercenaries causing trouble and harassing young girls did not occur.

There is no other reason.

First, Tianshui Academy is renowned in the Northern Territory. In this harsh land where no Title Douluo is stationed, Tianshui Academy is a top human force.

Secondly, mercenaries who live on the edge prefer mature women with large buttocks.

Shuiyue watched the young man opposite her, who was wearing a black fur coat and drinking one cup after another with gusto, as if the cup contained sweet spring water rather than strong liquor.

Unable to resist her curiosity, she picked up her wine glass and carefully took a small sip.

"Cough! Cough!"

The spicy liquid shot straight into my throat like a blazing torch.

The choking caused her little face to turn red instantly, her eyes to well up with tears, and she opened her little mouth, panting repeatedly.

I finally recovered.

She glared at the "culprit" opposite her and muttered under her breath:

"What kind of taste is that..."

"You can actually drink such spicy liquor?"

"It's nowhere near as good as that Li Zhexian's wine!"

Shui Bing'er glanced at her younger sister sideways.

Shui Yue'er immediately leaned closer and whispered:

"That guy loves alcohol the most; we've been waiting at the tavern all day and haven't seen him..."

Shui Bing'er was about to speak.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the young man opposite him pour himself another glass of wine.

He moved his wrist slightly.

The glass of wine slid across the table and stopped in front of him.

"Ok?"

Shui Bing'er frowned slightly.

Li Zhexian raised his eyes and glanced at Shui Bing'er and the other seven girls.

"Are the geniuses from Tianshui Academy also here for the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow? Want a piece of the pie?"

Shui Bing'er didn't touch the wine glass in front of her. Her icy blue eyes met his gaze, and her tone was calm:

"Why not?"

Li Zhexian shook his head.

"Naturally."

"However, the far north is extremely dangerous, far more so than the frozen forest."

"Take my advice, it's best to go back to Tianshui City."

Shui Bing'er's expression remained unchanged, and her tone remained aloof.

"Thank you for your kindness."

Having said all that, given his status, Li Zhexian could not say any more.

He vaguely guessed why Shui Bing'er and the other six had appeared in this chaotic place, and a warm feeling quietly flowed through his heart.

The next day.

The morning light is dim.

A fierce wind swept through, carrying snowflakes that danced in the air.

Mercenary groups, imbued with a palpable aura of menace and a fervent thirst for adventure, marched in a mighty torrent toward the mysterious depths of the far north.

　Chapter 3 will be later, dear readers, please read it tomorrow morning...
