Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god

Chapter 174 The Two Ice and Snow Emperors Finally Break Through! The Great Demon King Can Actually Smile at People?

The sun rises.

Having absorbed the cultivation of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor finally have the opportunity to break through.

Dai Yuntian originally wanted to go as soon as possible, but after thinking it over, he decided to wait until the two women finished their breakthroughs to avoid any unforeseen problems.

As a bone-chilling cold swept through the entire training room, the languid figures of the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor finally appeared before him, one after the other.

The three exchanged a smile, saying nothing more, everything understood in tacit agreement.

Ice Emperor playfully shook Dai Yuntian's arm and urged, "Little Yuntian, hurry up and look at the spirit rings!"

Even the usually aloof Snow Empress showed a hint of nervousness on her fair face.

Dai Yuntian summoned his spirit rings, and saw that the Ice Emperor's third spirit ring, which originally had only four golden patterns, had an additional golden pattern, while the Snow Emperor's fourth spirit ring had two more golden patterns.

This means that the Ice Emperor has broken through to 50 years, while the Snow Emperor has reached an astonishing 90 years of cultivation.

He became an unprecedented existence on the Douluo Continent, apart from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King from ten thousand years ago.

Upon seeing this, both Hyotei and Yukiteru breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great!"

Ice Emperor jumped up excitedly and threw himself into Dai Yuntian's arms: "I was worried that breaking through in the form of a ghost wouldn't affect my soul rings!"

When a soft, warm body suddenly entered his arms, Dai Yuntian stiffened slightly and instinctively wanted to back away.

"Little Yuntian!"

Hyotei puffed out her cheeks and glared at him angrily: "Why do you always avoid me? Is it because you think I'm only a hundred thousand years old and not as good as Yuki?"

Don't blame her for thinking too much.

After all, last time they absorbed a full 400,000 units of Tianmeng's cultivation, and Xue Di broke through twice, while she only broke through once.

Of course, this is not the fault of the Ice Empress. After all, time was short and the Ice Empress's cultivation was not as stable as the Snow Empress's. She needed to spend most of her time consolidating her foundation.

Therefore, the natural breakthrough is a bit slower, but the accumulated cultivation is sufficient, and it won't be long before the next breakthrough.

Dai Yuntian's expression was slightly strange. He subtly lowered one hand to cover himself and turned to the side, trying to avoid it: "It's not because of that..."

The main reason is that he has a normal morning reaction, which any man would have.

Hyotei noticed him clutching his groin and suddenly realized, "Oh, I see! You secretly hid beef jerky again, didn't you? You don't want us to eat it, do you?"

"Hmph, this emperor is determined to eat it this time!"

After saying that, she lunged at him with bared teeth and claws.

Just then, Xue Di seemed to sense something, and her fair earlobes suddenly turned a light red.

She quickly reached out and pulled Hyotei aside, whispering a few words in her ear.

"Woo..."

Hyotei's entire face instantly turned bright red, burning from her forehead down to her neck: "Yuki, just kill me! I can't face anyone anymore, ahhh..."

Thinking back to the times she had clamored for "beef sticks," she wished she could dig an ice hole and disappear into it forever.

Xue Di covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes sparkling with a bright light: "Alright, no one else is watching, Yun Tian won't laugh at you."

“You were clearly laughing, I heard it.”

Hyotei buried her burning face in Yukiteru's chest and murmured mournfully, "I swear, I'll never eat beef jerky again in my life..."

Dai Yuntian stood aside, watching the two people in the morning light, one with a flushed face who wished she could disappear into the ground, and the other covering her mouth and chuckling with her eyes sparkling. A smile unconsciously flashed across his eyes as well.

He touched his nose and went into the restroom.

The daylight is just right, it's a new day, and when the sun rises, forget about what just happened.

……

Inner courtyard square.

A few rays of morning light pierced through the thin mist and fell on the bluestone slabs of the square.

Several inner court disciples who needed to obtain soul rings were lined up neatly. They were all outstanding students carefully selected by the academy. When their eyes met, they all carried a hint of doubt.

"What's going on? Everyone's here, who are you waiting for?"

A lean, muscular male disciple couldn't help but whisper to his companion, "I don't know, everyone on the list is definitely here..."

The person next to him responded quietly, their eyes subconsciously glancing towards the front of the line.

Shh! Say less.

Another, older disciple lowered his voice and reminded her, "Our senior sister has her own arrangements; just wait."

Just as everyone was making their own guesses, footsteps came from the entrance of the square.

Dai Yuntian walked side by side with Dai Qiu'er, who was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit and whose blonde hair shone brightly in the morning light.

Zhang Lexuan was already waiting at the front of the group.

She wore a sleek, moon-white outfit, with her long hair tied up high, which made her neck appear even longer and gave her a dashing and heroic air.

She was holding a roster and making final confirmations before departure.

Upon seeing Dai Yuntian and his companion arrive, Zhang Lexuan closed the roster, a gentle smile unconsciously appearing on her lips, and quickly went to greet them.

"coming?"

Her voice wasn't as cold as it usually was when she gave orders; instead, it carried a familiar ease: "Why are you a little later than expected today? But it's alright, hurry up and join the team."

Her natural smile and friendly demeanor caused the inner court disciples who were listening intently behind her to widen their eyes and exchange bewildered glances.

"No, did I see it wrong?"

"No, you didn't see wrong, the Great Demon King is actually laughing?!"

"Just who is this guy?"

No wonder they were so surprised.

After all, in the minds of these inner court disciples, Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan was always synonymous with strength, calmness, and sternness, the embodiment of discipline. When had they ever seen her so kind and gentle to people, or even so obviously affectionate?
Coincidentally, there was someone in the crowd who frequently followed news from the School of Foreign Languages. He whispered, "Shh, he's a prominent figure in the School of Foreign Languages, Dai Yuntian. Don't you all know him?"

Who is Dai Yuntian?

Everyone looked puzzled. After all, once you join the inner academy, there are basically no classes on a daily basis. Most of the time, you have to find a mentor to cultivate on your own. How can you have time to pay attention to other things?

"That's the number one genius of the outer academy! He's not even twelve years old yet, but he already has the cultivation of a Soul King and three 100,000-year Soul Rings. He has already become the number one in Shrek Academy's history, and he even has the potential to become a god in the future!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd reacted with a variety of expressions, but most were surprised and envious.

When Zhang Lexuan asked Dai Yuntian, he just smiled and didn't explain further, since being late is never something to brag about.

"Sister Lexuan, who was secretly protecting you today?"

"They haven't shown up yet, but it should be Dean Xian or Dean Qian."

"That's good." Dai Yuntian breathed a sigh of relief and turned to join the team.

After checking everyone's rations and water, Zhang Lexuan announced in a clear voice, "Let's go!"

Target: Starry Sky Forest.

……

Led by Zhang Lexuan, the team cautiously entered the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The main purpose of this trip was to find suitable ten-thousand-year soul rings for several newly promoted inner court disciples, so the chosen area was relatively safe.

The journey initially went smoothly. Thanks to Zhang Lexuan's rich experience and powerful strength, the team successfully avoided the territories of some powerful spirit beasts and successfully hunted suitable spirit rings for their two disciples.

The atmosphere relaxed slightly, and several disciples even showed a hint of excitement on their faces.

"Isn't this too simple?"

"Luckily, we chose to stay at the academy and join the inner academy, otherwise it would have been so difficult to find a spirit ring if we left the academy."

"Yes."

However, just as the team was preparing to venture deeper into the designated area to find their next target, an unexpected change occurred.

The light in the forest suddenly dimmed, and a cold, viscous atmosphere, carrying a strong sense of blood and misfortune, spread without warning.

Several figures dressed in tattered black robes emerged like ghosts from behind the shadows of ancient trees and vines. Their eyes were murky and greedy as they locked onto the youngest and most "fresh" disciples in the group whose soul power fluctuations were the most prominent.

"It's the evil soul master!"
