Douluo Continent: Heavenly Mystery System

Chapter 4 Helping Shui Bing'er Obtain Her Third Soul Ring

"Sir, here are your four cold dishes and four hot dishes, eight dishes and one soup. The chicken, duck and fish will be brought to you shortly," the waiter said, serving the dishes one by one.

At this moment, Ye Xiaofeng couldn't care less about anyone else. He grabbed his chopsticks and started frantically adding food to his plate, stuffing it into his mouth.

"Be careful you don't choke to death, you bastard," Xue Wu said with displeasure, since Ye Xiaofeng had just embarrassed him.

"You guys eat slowly, don't worry about me," Ye Xiaofeng said as he ate, but the sight of the bowls stacked one on top of another in front of him caught the attention of many people in the inn.

"Sir, your chicken, duck, fish, and meat are here. All the dishes have been served. Please enjoy your meal." The waiter was stunned, looking at Ye Xiaofeng's frenzied eating and then at the fact that the others hadn't even touched their chopsticks yet.

What Ye Xiaofeng said next was even more surprising: "Brother, could you please set up another table? I'm still not full."

"Hey, are you a reincarnated starving ghost?" Shui Yue'er joked.

"More or less," Ye Xiaofeng could only reply awkwardly. You emperors really don't know the suffering of the people.

After finishing the first meal, Ye Xiaofeng stopped eating. Shui Bing'er, who had been watching Ye Xiaofeng without saying anything, suddenly spoke up.

"Are you full? If you want to eat, you can continue, it's okay," Shui Bing'er said with a smile.

"I'm full. I haven't had such a delicious lunch in a long time. Thank you. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, I will definitely help you." For Ye Xiaofeng, Shui Bing'er was the first person to save him, so he wanted to help her as much as he could.

"Okay, but you can't help me with my current strength," Shui Bing'er said without directly refusing.

"I know that day will come," Ye Xiaofeng said firmly.

After they finished eating, they booked three rooms, two for themselves and one for Ye Xiaofeng.

Ye Xiaofeng returned to his room, called the waiter, took a hot shower, changed his clothes, and instantly became handsome and refreshed.

The next morning, Ye Xiaofeng heard a knock on the door. He opened it, and Shui Bing'er came in.

"You..." Ye Xiaofeng's handsome face attracted Shui Bing'er, who was at a loss for words.

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

"I just came to see you," Shui Bing'er said, blushing. Her heart was pounding.

"You came to see me?" Ye Xiaofeng looked at Shui Bing'er in surprise. Could it be that this girl had fallen for him?

"No, we're going out to Sunset Forest to hunt soul beasts. I've broken through to level 30. You can stay here. Once we get our soul rings, we'll take you back to the academy," Shui Bing'er said shyly, blushing.

"I was wondering why my older sister hadn't come back yet. Turns out she was secretly meeting a handsome guy," Xuewu joked.

"No way, shut your mouth!" Shui Bing'er said, embarrassed and angry.

"Hey, who are you? Don't think you can flirt with my sister so early in the morning just because you're handsome!" Shui Yue'er didn't recognize Ye Xiaofeng at first and said unhappily.

"Miss Moon, it's me," Ye Xiaofeng said, scratching his head.

"Wow, I didn't expect such a big change after just one night. I didn't realize it!" Shuiyue'er started to swoon.

Ye Xiaofeng's mind was racing. Actually, I've always been like this, you just haven't noticed.

"I'll go with you this time," Ye Xiaofeng said. He didn't want to just eat and drink for free; he wanted to do his part.

"With your meager strength, what can you do? Don't hold us back," Xue Wu said somewhat hesitantly when she saw Ye Xiaofeng about to leave. Although Ye Xiaofeng was already a Soul Master, his strength wasn't that great. After all, he had six ten-year Soul Rings.

"Don't worry, I won't hold you back," Ye Xiaofeng said firmly.

"Then you follow behind us, don't stray too far from us," Shui Bing'er said gently.

Shui Bing'er did not refuse Ye Xiaofeng. Although Ye Xiaofeng was not strong, he was still a healing-type Soul Master, and she would need him if necessary.

"Then let's get going, what are we waiting for?" Ye Xiaofeng said excitedly.

"Hey kid, it's not like you're the one hunting soul beasts, why are you more excited than us?" Xue Wu said speechlessly.

"Miss Xuewu, please call me by my name. I'm not called 'Fei'," Ye Xiaofeng said unhappily. Who wants to be called "Fei" every day?

"Who knows your name? It's been so long, I've forgotten," Xue Wu said, pretending to have forgotten.

"Then it's Miss Xuewu. Remember, my name is Ye Xiaofeng. You can call me Young Master Ye or Young Master Ye," Ye Xiaofeng said narcissistically.

"Young Master Ye, I've seen plenty of shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as brazen as you," Xue Wu said with a sly smile.

This made everyone laugh, but Ye Xiaofeng was completely immune to Xue Wu's mockery.

"Miss Xuewu, you're not small at all, you're not small at all," Ye Xiaofeng suddenly said shamelessly.

"Get lost," Xue Wu said bluntly.

"Alright, alright, let's go," Shui Bing'er quickly interrupted, otherwise the two of them would have been talking for who knows how long.

Soon Ye Xiaofeng and the others arrived at Sunset Forest and entered the outer area directly. Unlike Star Dou Great Forest, this area did not require a token issued by the Spirit Hall to enter.

Just as they were walking forward, suddenly five hundred-year-old reddish-brown wild boars with tusks rushed over.

"Everyone be careful, prepare for battle!"

"First Soul Skill, Freeze!" Shui Bing'er activated her first soul skill, instantly freezing five wild boars. Her first soul skill can be used continuously, and it consumes very little soul skill energy.

"Second Soul Skill, Zero Degree Impact!" Shui Yue'er activated her second soul skill, instantly shattering the five wild boars, leaving Ye Xiaofeng, who was standing nearby, completely stunned.

"Kid, stop spacing out, let's go. This time we found a thousand-year-old spirit ring for our eldest sister," Xue Wu teased, seeing Ye Xiaofeng's stunned expression after hunting the spirit beast.

Ye Xiaofeng didn't say anything and continued to follow them. After searching for a long time, they finally found a thousand-year-old ice toad in a certain place. It was surrounded by ice.

"Second Soul Skill, Rainfall!" Xue Wu instantly activated her second skill to prevent the Ice Toad from escaping.

"First Soul Skill, Ice Seal!" Shui Bing'er continued using the skill she had just used, instantly freezing the ice toad.

"Second Soul Skill, Zero Degree Impact!" Shui Yue'er activated her second soul skill, instantly shattering the ice that had frozen the ice toad. Just when Shui Yue'er thought she had easily solved the problem, the ice toad suddenly launched an attack.

The ice toad spat out a blast of icy poison at Shuiyue'er.

"Moon, be careful! Second Soul Skill, Ice Ring Armor!" Shui Bing'er blocked the Ice Toad's attack.

"Miss Bing'er, let me try. You freeze it first," Ye Xiaofeng said.

"First Soul Skill, Ice Seal!" Shui Bing'er instantly froze the ice toad again.

"Third Soul Skill, One Sword to the Throat!" Ye Xiaofeng condensed the Seven Kill Sword in his hand and instantly launched the third skill to stab the Ice Toad.

The ice that Shui Bing'er had just frozen was shattered by Ye Xiaofeng's Seven Kill Sword. The Ice Toad only suffered minor injuries, which was not a big problem for it.

"No, if this continues, we won't be able to kill the Ice Toad," Xue Wu said warily.

"Moon, let's fuse our martial souls!" Shui Bing'er called out to Shui Yue'er, and the two embraced, instantly completing the fusion skill.

Upon hearing a cry, they saw an ice phoenix materialize in the air, its kingly aura rendering the ice toad immobile.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill - Falling Ice and Snow!" Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er said simultaneously, and the Ice Phoenix instantly launched an attack on the Ice Toad.

The ice toad was frozen solid and could no longer move.

"Third Soul Skill, One Sword to the Throat!" Ye Xiaofeng's Seven Kill Sword flew directly towards the frozen ice toad. The ice toad was on the verge of death. "Miss Bing'er, hurry up and do it!"

As Ye Xiaofeng spoke, he threw the Seven Kill Sword in his hand to Shui Bing'er. Shui Bing'er took the Seven Kill Sword from Ye Xiaofeng and killed the Thousand-Year Ice Toad with one strike.

After the fierce battle, their soul power was severely depleted, especially Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, who were completely exhausted due to their martial soul fusion technique.

Shui Bing'er couldn't absorb the soul ring in such a state of depleted soul power, and might be backfired by the Thousand-Year Ice Toad.

"First Soul Skill, Blessing" Ye Xiaofeng's Emerald Swan first soul skill can heal and restore soul power to the group, and consumes little of his own soul power.

Under Ye Xiaofeng's treatment, Shui Bing'er and the others recovered to their initial battle condition.

"Just in case, absorb the spirit ring first, and the others keep watch on the surroundings," Ye Xiaofeng said.

Although Ye Xiaofeng shouldn't be in charge, what he said is correct, and everyone should protect Shui Bing'er as she absorbs the soul ring.

Shui Bing'er sat cross-legged beside the ice toad, absorbing the soul ring. Soon, a purple halo appeared on the ice toad and slowly transferred to Shui Bing'er.

After a while, Shui Bing'er finished absorbing the soul rings and stood up. A halo of two yellow and one purple appeared directly under her feet.

"Sister, what skill did you grant your third soul skill?" Shui Yue'er ran to Shui Bing'er's side and asked.

"The Ice Resist Ring can form a repulsive ice ring that spreads outward from me, which can damage the opponent while also repelling them," Shui Bing'er said calmly.

"In this way, we can use this skill to interrupt the opponent's offensive Soul Master during battle," Xue Wu calmly analyzed.

"Indeed, but this time we owe a great debt to you, Young Master Ye." Shui Bing'er knew that if Ye Xiaofeng hadn't come, they would have paid a heavy price even if they had hunted the Ice Toad.

"Miss Bing'er, you're too kind. It's only right that I help you," Ye Xiaofeng said, though he was quite happy inside, since this was the first time he had helped someone.

"Let's go back first." Shui Bing'er had achieved her goal of hunting down a spirit ring. Xue Wu and Shui Yue'er were still at level 28 and didn't need to hunt spirit beasts, while the others were at levels 27 and 26.

Shui Bing'er obtained her third spirit ring, which made everyone very happy. In their hearts, Shui Bing'er was the eldest sister and the core figure of the team. Everyone else had no say in her decisions.

"Wait a minute," Ye Xiaofeng suddenly said.

"What's wrong?" Shui Bing'er and the others were about to go back when Ye Xiaofeng interrupted them.

"Congratulations, host Ye Xiaofeng, for successfully helping Shui Bing'er obtain her third soul ring. All soul ring cultivation will increase by one hundred years, and soul power level will increase by 5 levels," a mechanical voice said to Ye Xiaofeng.

"Holy crap, Xiaobing, you can finally be used normally!" Ye Xiaofeng said happily.

"Host Ye Xiaofeng has spoken rudely, so hereby reward him with a bolt of lightning." After Xiao Bing finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck Ye Xiaofeng from the sky.
