Douluo Continent: Heavenly Mystery System

Chapter 11 I Choose Bing'er to Live

After Shui Bing'er got up, Ye Xiaofeng shrugged his shoulders; they were a little sore from not moving all night.

"You guys pack your things, let's go up the mountain together," Ye Xiaofeng said as he stretched and walked outside.

Stepping out of the cave, the cold was still biting, but it was all worth it to obtain the soul ring. After a morning of climbing, they found a snow lotus that was over two thousand years old on a snow-covered mountain.

It's truly like finding something you've been searching high and low for, only to have it come to you effortlessly. Time to prepare for battle.

"First Soul Skill: Dark Clouds, Second Soul Skill: Rainfall!" Xue Wu unleashed two skills in quick succession.

"First Soul Skill, Extreme Cold Storm!" Shui Yue'er unleashed her first soul skill.

"We can't use violence against it, otherwise we won't be able to get the soul ring. Bing'er, restrain it," Ye Xiaofeng said hurriedly when he saw the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus trying to escape.

"First Soul Skill, Ice Seal" Shui Bing'er blocked all escape routes.

"Wu'er, hurry up!" Ye Xiaofeng held the Seven Kill Sword and stared intently at Xue Lian. If she tried to escape, Ye Xiaofeng would kill her with a single sword strike.

Unlike the Ice Emperor Scorpion, the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus was not as domineering and was quickly killed by Snow Dance. The absorption process was also relatively gentle and easy. Success was achieved quickly.

"Sister Xuewu, what is your third soul skill?" Shuiyue asked curiously.

"Look, the third soul skill—Snowflakes!" Thousands of ice spikes appeared in the sky and struck the ground instantly, like a barrage of arrows.

"That's amazing!" Shui Yue'er exclaimed in amazement. This skill was not much weaker than her own Ice Blast.

"Congratulations, Master! You have successfully helped Xuewu and Shuiyue'er obtain their third soul ring. You are rewarded with a simulated soul ring skill and your soul power level has been increased by 5 levels," Xiaobing's voice came.

Ye Xiaofeng broke through to the level 40 Soul Master, and four thousand-year purple soul rings slowly rose from under his feet, which directly stunned Xue Wu and Shui Yue'er. Shui Bing'er was also slightly surprised, but she also knew a little about Ye Xiaofeng's secret.

"Xiaofeng, you..." Xuewu was so surprised she didn't know what to say.

"I have a skill that simulates spirit rings. It can simulate not only those that are a thousand years old, but also those that are ten thousand years old or even a hundred thousand years old," Ye Xiaofeng said with a smile.

Then the four spirit rings beneath his feet turned into ten-thousand-year black, and then into one-hundred-thousand-year bright red.

"So that's how it is. I knew it! How could someone like you be so strong!" Xue Wu said to Ye Xiaofeng, unconvinced.

"However, your simulated spirit ring skill is quite good at scaring people," Xue Wu added.

"Hey, Wu'er, I helped you get a soul ring, and you don't even say thank you? Why do you always go against me?" Ye Xiaofeng said helplessly.

"It seems you didn't really do anything just now," Xue Wu said with a smile, clearly not wanting to let Ye Xiaofeng off the hook.

"I'm in control of the situation," Ye Xiaofeng said. He himself did not make a move, but he was preventing the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus from escaping.

"Tch, so shameless," Xuewu muttered.

"Now that our mission is complete, let's hurry back to the academy," Shui Yue'er said happily with a smile.

"Let's go back then. Remember to keep this a secret for me," Ye Xiaofeng said to Shui Bing'er.

Shui Bing'er nodded in agreement, but she felt a little disappointed. Returning to the academy meant that Ye Xiaofeng would leave the academy and leave her.

On the way back, everyone was noticeably quieter, and Shui Bing'er didn't say a word the whole time.

Back in Peach Blossom Garden, Xuewu and Shuiyue'er perked up.

"It's so good to be back. I never want to go to that godforsaken place in the far north again," Xuewu complained.

"Me too, I'm going to take a hot shower first," Shui Yue'er said, following Xue Wu's lead.

"I'll go too," Xuewu said to Shuiyue'er with a smile.

"How about I give you guys a free bath?" Ye Xiaofeng said lewdly, the thought alone was exciting.

"Get out!" the two people objected, and without looking back, they went back to their respective rooms.

"Hehe, just kidding, don't take it too seriously, Bing'er..." Ye Xiaofeng saw that Xue Wu and Shui Yue'er were ignoring him, so he turned around to flirt with Shui Bing'er, but Shui Bing'er didn't give him the chance and went back to her room without looking back.

He was all alone in the huge courtyard. Ye Xiaofeng went into the room, took out a jar of wine, and sat down on a bench under a peach tree.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the falling peach petals drifted like snowflakes. Ye Xiaofeng drank his wine, looked up at the sky, and felt a deep sense of sorrow.

He thought he could drown his sorrows in alcohol, but he never expected that drinking would only make him more sorrowful. He drank until he was drunk and dreamed that Shui Bing'er appeared in front of him.

"Bing'er, what brings you here?" Ye Xiaofeng said drunkenly.

"Can't we come and see the peach blossoms?" Shui Bing'er said with a smile.

"I thought you were coming to keep me company, hehehe," Ye Xiaofeng said with a sad laugh.

"Now that I can stay with you, don't you want to say something to me?" Shui Bing'er saw that Ye Xiaofeng was drunk and seized the opportunity to ask him about his innermost thoughts.

"Then I can tell you anything you want to ask," Ye Xiaofeng continued, still somewhat dazed.

Why do you insist on leaving?

"I said I would become stronger, and only by becoming stronger can I protect the people I love."

"You are already very outstanding. You have twin martial souls and extraordinary talent. You will be able to break through to the Title Douluo realm in the future," Shui Bing'er said comfortingly. She also understood that Ye Xiaofeng was exceptionally talented and would definitely have a place among the future Title Douluos.

"Bing'er, wait for me to come back," Ye Xiaofeng said, drunkenly hugging Shui Bing'er.

Shui Bing'er didn't ask any more questions. She quietly held Ye Xiaofeng until he fell asleep, then helped him to his room and onto the bed.

Shui Bing'er did not leave, but stayed by his bedside quietly watching him, and fell asleep without realizing it.

Late at night, Ye Xiaofeng opened his eyes and saw that Shui Bing'er was asleep. He got up, carried her in a princess carry, put her on the bed, covered her with a blanket, stroked her gentle face, and kissed her forehead affectionately.

As Ye Xiaofeng turned to leave, Shui Bing'er slowly shed tears. Ye Xiaofeng had been pretending to be drunk and asleep the whole time, but Shui Bing'er had been doing the same.

Neither of them wanted to hurt the other, but this was the only way. Ye Xiaofeng couldn't let go of Shui Bing'er, and Shui Bing'er couldn't leave Ye Xiaofeng either.

But reality is cruel, and this is the only choice. Ye Xiaofeng slowly walked out and gently closed the door.

Ye Xiaofeng walked out of the room, glanced at Xue Wu and Shui Yue'er's room, and left Peach Blossom Garden without looking back.

The academy was deserted late at night. Ye Xiaofeng headed straight for the gate. After leaving the school, he walked a short distance to a grove of trees. Just then, Ye Xiaofeng suddenly sensed a murderous aura around him.

Suddenly, an ice spear came flying at Ye Xiaofeng from behind, but Ye Xiaofeng dodged the fatal blow with a quick step.

"Who are you?" Ye Xiaofeng only saw a masked person.

"And who are you?" the masked man asked.

"I am a student of Tianshui Academy. Please show mercy," the masked woman said, and Ye Xiaofeng knew she was a woman.

"If you're a student, you can apply to go out during the day. But in the middle of the night, I think you're up to no good," the masked man said, ignoring Ye Xiaofeng's words.

"Second Soul Skill - Frost Palm!" The masked man attacked directly, giving Ye Xiaofeng no chance to explain.

"Second Soul Skill - Sweeping Through a Thousand Armies" Ye Xiaofeng directly used the Seven Kill Sword to block.

"How could that be? I see. Then I can't let you live any longer. Third Soul Skill - Frost Fist." The masked man became more and more interested in Ye Xiaofeng.

Fourth Soul Skill - Fleeting Moment

"Third Soul Skill - One Sword to Seal the Throat" Ye Xiaofeng released two skills in succession, first using the fourth soul skill to freeze space, and then using the third soul skill to attack.

The masked woman was clearly stronger than him. If he kept letting her wear him down, he would die at her hands, turning the tables and taking the initiative.

Just as Ye Xiaofeng's sword was about to pierce the masked man's throat, the masked man broke through Ye Xiaofeng's fourth soul skill.

Shui Bing'er ran over just as the masked man, who was about to defeat Ye Xiaofeng, said, "Martial Soul True Form - Titan Snow Demon King."

First Soul Skill - Ice Seal

Second Soul Skill - Ice Ring Armor

Third Soul Skill - Ice Resistance Ring

Shui Bing'er unleashed three skills in succession to block the attack power of the Titan Snow Demon King Martial Soul for Ye Xiaofeng.

"Bing'er, why are you here? Hurry up and leave, you shouldn't have come," Ye Xiaofeng said hurriedly. The other party was a Soul Master of level 70 or above, and there was no way for him to escape in his Martial Soul True Body form.

"Kid, you're really lucky with the ladies. I'll give you a chance; only one of you will survive," the masked man said mockingly.

"Let her leave. Once she's safely away, you can do whatever you want with her." Ye Xiaofeng was already satisfied to see Shui Bing'er come to his rescue; he no longer cared about anything else.

"Kid, are you really not afraid of death?" the masked woman asked in surprise. She thought Ye Xiaofeng would abandon Shui Bing'er and escape on his own.

"I'm afraid. Everyone is afraid of dying, but I have no other choice," Ye Xiaofeng said helplessly.

"Teacher, have you had enough fun?" Shui Bing'er knew that she was Wang Yan when she saw the Martial Soul True Form, but when she heard Ye Xiaofeng's words, her heart melted instantly. She didn't want to see her teacher continue to tease Ye Xiaofeng.

"Teacher???" Ye Xiaofeng thought he had misheard.

"You brat, you're so useless!" Wang Yan removed her veil, intending to make things difficult for Ye Xiaofeng again, but Shui Bing'er had already seen through her act.

"Teacher, this is too much of a trap!" Ye Xiaofeng was speechless. Xue Wu was already setting traps for him all the time, but why was the teacher trying to trap him too?

"How will you know you have a twin martial soul that's hard to find even once in a century if you don't try? How will you know how true you are to Bing'er if you don't try? Kid, you've been hiding it well," Wang Yan said jokingly.

"Teacher, there's no other way. You know how important twin martial souls are. We could lose our lives if things go wrong." Ye Xiaofeng acted like a child who had done something wrong in front of Wang Yan.

"As for the twin martial souls, please keep it a secret, teacher," Ye Xiaofeng said, not wanting others to know.

"Don't worry, your teacher will keep it a secret. Where are you going?" Wang Yan continued to ask.

"I want to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. As you know, my other martial soul is the Seven Kill Sword. If I want to cultivate swordsmanship, I need someone to guide me. In the current world of soul masters, only Jian Dao Chen Xin has the Seven Kill Sword as his martial soul, so I must go find him," Ye Xiaofeng said firmly.

"Kid, it's not that easy for you to become a disciple of Sword Douluo Chen Xin." Wang Yan knew that it was no easy feat to meet a Title Douluo, let alone become his disciple.

"How do you know it won't work if you don't try? Why are you asking the teacher to help you?" Ye Xiaofeng said solemnly.

"Since you've made up your mind, what's the point of me staying? Get out of here. Remember to come back if you ever have any trouble," Wang Yan said as she left the woods.

"Thank you, teacher," Ye Xiaofeng said with a smile, leaving only Ye Xiaofeng and Shui Bing'er in the woods.
