Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 107 Snow Emperor: Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad?

After a brief exchange, Qian Renxue and the other two, along with Lin Jiayi, walked to the door of the conference room.

Lin Jiayi knocked lightly on the door, and after hearing "Come in," he pushed the door open and led the three of them inside.

"Alright. That's all for today." In the conference room, there was a long table with seven young people sitting on either side, and an elderly man at the head of the table. He was none other than Mr. Ma, the instructor leading this training program.

When Mr. Ma saw Lin Jiayi bring in three girls, he stood up, clapped his hands, and the other students followed suit.

Lin Jiayi walked over and said, "Mr. Ma, thank you for your hard work."

"It's my duty," Old Ma said indifferently. Then, he looked at the three girls hiding behind Lin Jiayi's plump body.

"Are these the people the hall master ordered?" he asked.

He naturally harbored some suspicions about these people with connections. The Soul Master Competition was less than a year away, and suddenly a few people were being placed in the competition. Wasn't this putting pressure on him? And they even said they would get them a chance to perform.

Lin Jiayi nodded slightly, and then briefly introduced the three of them, only mentioning their names.

"Does the leader want these three to join the team?" Old Ma decided it was better to be direct. "As you know, our main team's seven members need no introduction; they've been working together for almost eight years. The reserve team's kids have also been training together for over two years."

Lin Jiayi thought to himself, "In the past six months, you have been leading your team all over the country looking for competitions to play. Of course, you don't know what has happened in the academy in the past three months. Moreover, the files of these three people can be considered the most closely guarded secrets."

"There's no other way, this is the leader's request. What do you think? Let the three of them get to know the team members first. Who knows, it might have some unexpected benefits? Besides, don't underestimate these three." Lin Jiayi shrugged, putting it more tactfully at the end.

"So what if they're here? If they really were recommended by Grandpa, then they must have some skills. Even if we don't trust Director Lin, we have to trust Grandpa," said the boy sitting first on the right. "Even if they're not up to par, we still have to show them what we're capable of, right?"

"Laughing at the world! When are you going to get rid of this arrogant habit?" A young man sitting on the left whispered. He was the captain of the main team, named Ma Rulong, and was a descendant of that old man Ma.

Qian Renxue overheard their conversation and looked over curiously. Was this the same Xiao Hongchen, the number one genius of the Sun Moon Empire that Teacher Tong Tingting had mentioned? The girl sitting next to him must be his sister, Meng Hongchen, right?

She casually observed that the two were between fourteen and fifteen years old, with the brother being about half a year older than the sister. But surprisingly, they were both... Soul King level cultivators!

She remained expressionless, but in reality, she was thinking that it was highly unusual for a Soul King to emerge in the Sun Moon Empire. Shen Yuanyi's talent was among the top three on the entire continent, and at fourteen years old, almost fifteen, she only possessed a Soul Power of level forty-seven.

This was the result of her having a lot of support.

It can only be said that the cultivation levels of this brother and sister may have been somewhat inflated, but they are the grandchildren of the head of Mingde Hall. Even if they were taking drugs, they would probably have been at least at the secondary immortal level. Mingde Hall's reputation as the richest family on the continent is not undeserved.

Although Xiao Hongchen spoke with a proud tone, it was simply pride, a confidence in his cultivation, not blind arrogance.

Qian Renxue could sense this from his tone and expression.

It's normal for aristocratic young masters to be a little arrogant, but they need to have the strength to match it, otherwise they're just clowns.

"Hey, Ma Rulong, don't take it personally with your junior. Haha, sometimes it's good to listen to your seniors, isn't it?" Lin Jiayi put on his signature smile and acted as a peacemaker.

Xue Di was startled, but quickly returned to normal.

"Speaking of which, these three young ladies are meeting you all for the first time. There's no need for us to act like we're meeting enemies right away. Why don't we let them introduce themselves a little?" Lin Jiayi said with a smile.

Old Ma nodded slightly. In any case, since these three were introduced by Jing Hongchen, they should be given face. Moreover, as Xiao Hongchen said, they must have some extraordinary qualities to be chosen by that fat old man.

Shen Yuanyi took a step forward obediently: "Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Shen Yuanyi. I'll be fifteen in six months. My martial soul is Qingqiu, and my soul power is level 48. Um... I'm not exactly a Soul Master." "Not a Soul Master?" One of the team members looked over.

"Um... my main job is to be Miss's cook." The little fox nodded, clearly understanding her role.

Qian Renxue retorted expressionlessly, "Stop talking nonsense. So what if you're not a Soul Master? You're not even fifteen years old, yet you have a cultivation level of forty-eight, and those bastards still beat you so badly you didn't dare show your face."

She was secretly surprised, because she remembered that just two days ago, this little fox was level 47. How could it have broken through again so quickly?

Shen Yuanyi touched her nose and stepped aside.

Xue Di frowned, but still chose to introduce herself: "Da Xue, not yet eleven years old, Martial Soul: Snow Maiden, Soul Power Level 32."

The Snow Empress also broke through within these three months, and then condensed her third soul ring on her own. Her first two soul rings were both at the thousand-year level, and the third ring was fixed at twelve thousand years. However, under the simulated soul skill, she still chose to show herself with two yellow and one purple rings first.

"What is the Snow Maiden Martial Soul?" Meng Hongchen asked curiously.

"Oh, it's a kind of spirit beast from the far north," Snow Empress explained. "You've probably heard of it, right?"

"The Ice and Snow Maiden?!" Meng Hongchen exclaimed in surprise. "This, isn't this...?!"

Meng Hongchen quickly shut her mouth. Her martial soul was the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad, known as the King of the Cracks in the Far North because its territory lay on the outskirts of the Far North, bordering the human world. In a sense, her martial soul seemed to be completely suppressed by the Snow Empress…

That's why I didn't dare say it out loud just now; it's the suppressive power at the Martial Soul level.

If Shen Yuanyi's cultivation level might seem exaggerated to them, then her Ice and Snow Maiden Martial Soul is a truly ultimate Martial Soul, as Meng Hongchen knows. Even with forced growth, it would be difficult for someone with this kind of Martial Soul to reach level 30 before the age of eleven.

"Hmm?" Xue Di suddenly glanced at Meng Hongchen. "You are... the Ice Toad Martial Soul?"

"Yes...yes..." Meng Hongchen was a little afraid to look at Xue Di.

Xue Di gave a meaningful smile but didn't say anything.

Martial spirits are peculiar things. Xiao Hongchen's martial spirit is the three-legged golden toad, and so does Jing Hongchen's. In a sense, these two martial spirits share only one thing in common with the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad: they are all from the toad clan.

From the perspective of spirit beasts, the Three-Legged Golden Toad is a spirit beast of the Sun Moon Empire and did not exist in the original Three Kingdoms period, while the Crimson-Eyed Ice Toad exists in the border area between the far north and the human world, and has no direct relationship with it. Just like the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex can mutate into a Red Dragon, the Clear Sky Hammer can mutate into... the Noble Ring.

Meng Hongchen felt a chill run down her spine at Xue Di's smile, and then she heard Xue Di's telepathic message: "Be good."

She slowly lowered her head.

What is Xue Di going to do to Meng Hongchen? Hehe.

However, it certainly wouldn't be anything too offensive to Meng Hongchen. She had heard that this little girl was Jing Hongchen's granddaughter, so naturally she would want to get some information about her enemy from her.

The original work doesn't describe Jing Hongchen's martial soul in much detail, only mentioning that it's a toad. However, considering his status as the youngest level nine soul master in Mingde Hall, the grandfather and grandson should share the same martial soul, which could aid in their research on soul tools.
