Douluo Continent: My strongest soul beast was exposed by the Heavenly Curtain?

Chapter 22 The Birth of a King! An Unequal Battle! (Please continue reading!)

The far north is a cruel place, with freezing temperatures and a harsh environment, making it unsuitable for either humans or soul-fused beasts to survive.

Resource scarcity has become a survival challenge for all life forms living in the far north.

Here, there are no lush forests, no warm sunshine, and no pity or kindness whatsoever.

All that exists is an endless expanse of ice fields, blizzards, and the ironclad law of the survival of the fittest.

Faced with such a challenge, the vast majority of soul beasts would choose to confront their bleak lives.

They take the initiative to seize resources, fight for territory, and kill each other.

Sometimes, this is not just human habit, but also the most primitive and cruel survival law of nature.

In the barren lands of the far north, endless battles are the norm for all soul beasts.

The weak become food;

The powerful occupy resources;

Those who barely survive will eventually meet their end in the next snowstorm.

However, for Xue Di, who had been educated by Li Yannian since childhood, the first time she seriously examined this icy and snowy world, what arose in her heart was not "taken for granted".

Rather, it's unreasonable.

"If everything is just about fighting and attrition."

"That far north will never have a future."

She didn't care about the far north in the past.

That was a chaotic era, an era of disorder.

But from the moment she was born, grew up, and awakened, she realized that the far north of the future should follow a different set of rules.

And only she could formulate this set of rules.

"The far north needs a king."

"In that case,"

"Then why can't it be me?"

Once this idea is born, it can never be erased.

Especially those 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

They possess power, yet they fight their own battles;

They monopolize resources but never consider the overall picture;

If they cannot be brought under a unified order, the far north will only decline due to internal strife.

For this reason, Xue Di specifically consulted Li Yannian.

How to rule a region.

It was still that familiar classroom.

The ice crystal walls reflected a soft light, with flowing patterns resembling the movement of stars.

But this time, only Xue Di remained in the classroom.

Hyotei, upon hearing "what's going to be discussed next," decisively chose to skip class.

In her own words, "It's too tiring, it's not for me."

In the classroom, Li Yannian stood in front of Xue Di.

This time, his expression was exceptionally solemn.

"Minor Snow".

"Are you sure you want to become the king of the far north?"

This is not a casual question.

It's not a question of fate, but a matter of destiny.

Xue Di did not hesitate at all.

She stood up, her gaze clear and resolute.

"Father."

"If the far north needs a king."

"Why can't it be me?"

A simple sentence, yet it is like a sharp sword pointing straight to the sky.

Beneath the sky, countless powerful humans were simultaneously shaken.

Outside the Crown Prince's Palace, Qian Renxue stared blankly at this scene.

At that moment, she seemed to see another version of herself.

"It really is like me."

She murmured softly.

If she could, she would also like to have a father.

Unfortunately, all she had from childhood was power struggles and manipulation.

But as Xue Di said, "The Spirit Hall needs an emperor."

"Why can't it be me?"

The same ambition burned within them simultaneously.

In class, Li Yannian suddenly burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Laughter echoed through the ice palace.

"good!"

"She really is my daughter!"

"That's ambitious!"

He raised his hand and slowly held up two fingers.

"To become a king."

"Only two things are needed."

"The first—power."

"Absolute power."

"Only when you are so powerful that no one can resist you will the crown be placed on your head."

"Second system."

"The system is the throne."

"A king without a system is merely a tyrant."

"Only a sound system can ensure your stability in power."

These words were powerful and resounding.

At this moment, Xue Di's eyes lit up completely.

"I see----"

She nodded gently.

"I understand, Father."

At that moment, she finally truly understood the meaning of being a king.

"Good that you understand."

Li Yannian did not say anything more.

"I've taught you enough."

"Next—"

"It's time for you to put it into practice."

A king is never crowned.

Rather, it was fought out.

The world belongs to those with strong armies and powerful horses!

Therefore, the Snow Emperor issued a call to action.

The news spread throughout the far north.

All soul beasts that are 100,000 years old must answer the summons.

Her conditions were simple to the point of being cruel.

One-on-one.

With 400,000 years of soul power, the Snow Empress officially challenges all 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the entire far north!

She was crowned queen by the victor.

The loser left the far north.

This is not a test.

It was a high-stakes gamble.

Even a 400,000-year-old soul beast would be practically doomed to die facing such a large number of 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

Beneath the sky, countless Soul Masters felt their scalps tingle.

"This is... one person against a whole group?"

"This is no longer a challenge, this is a declaration of war!"

"The King of the Far North —"

"This spirit is truly deserved!"

Tang Yuehua couldn't help but sigh.

Inside Luming Pavilion, everyone was already completely absorbed in the moment.

"This is what a man should do!"

"Even a petite woman can be a great woman!"

"Among soul beasts, there are also true heroes!"

Even Li Yannian couldn't help but recall the shock he felt back then when he saw this scene.

"Back then, she—"

"He already has the heart of a king."

That battle—

'

"This is the true beginning of laying the foundation for the Snow Emperor's reign as a king."

The visuals on the sky changed again.

Ten days later.

On the boundless ice plains, wind and snow howled.

The battlefield has taken shape.

Since the Snow Empress has declared a one-on-one duel, the 100,000-year-old soul beast from the far north will naturally not hold back.

One terrifying figure after another descended from all directions.

Titan Snow Demon King.

Icefield Wolf King.

Snow Fox King.

In the far north, the strongest of all races have gathered at this moment.

And they only have one opponent.

The Snow Emperor standing atop the wind and snow.

Her figure appeared so small, yet so impossible to ignore.

Any rational person would think that she was overestimating herself.

But at that very moment—the war officially began.

Starry Sky Forest, Lake of Life.

Xiong Jun gasped.

"Oh God—"

"So many 100,000-year-old soul beasts."

"Even I might not be able to beat him now."

"The Snow Emperor of yesteryear—"

"How exactly did they win?"

Wan Mu laughed so hard he almost fell over.

"Oh?"

"So, you're really this useless, Mr. Bear?"

"I knew your nickname 'Cowardly Bear' wasn't for nothing."

Xiong Jun instantly flew into a rage.

"Wanmu!!!"

"Sir is right, a creature with so many eyes is definitely not a good person!"

Just as the two were about to start arguing, the battle in the sky began—
