Douluo Continent: Heavenly Mystery System

Chapter 9 Ice Emperor Scorpion - Ice Explosion

"Teacher is the best. You're busy, so I won't bother you anymore." Shui Bing'er felt relieved.

When Wang Yan saw Shui Bing'er come out of her room, she immediately started thinking about Ye Xiaofeng's question.

Wang Yan took out Ye Xiaofeng's personal enrollment form, which Shui Bing'er had given her.

Ye Xiaofeng, male, 11 years old, martial soul: Emerald Swan, soul power level 41, soul rings: 4 yellow, other details unknown.

Wang Yan was both surprised and disappointed when she saw Ye Xiaofeng's enrollment form. He had reached the level of Soul Master at such a young age, but why didn't he even have a thousand-year soul ring? Was it because no one was helping him?

But that brat is so proud that he suffers for it. He's offered me a chance three times, but I've rejected him each time. Otherwise, I would have gotten him a soul ring from a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, let alone a thousand-year-old one.

I'll find some time to meet this brat. He thinks he can take my beloved apprentice away from me so easily.

Shui Bing'er was delighted to see that the teacher had agreed and went to the cafeteria ahead of the others.

"Teacher, what do you mean?" Xuewu and Shuiyue'er looked at Shuibing'er.

"Of course the teacher agrees," Shui Bing'er said with a smile.

"Why did you all move here instead of staying in the dorms?" Ye Xiaofeng asked blankly.

"What's wrong? You're not happy that three beautiful women are living with you?" Xue Wu said unhappily after hearing Ye Xiaofeng's words.

"No, it's just that the dorms are too lively, and I'm afraid you won't be used to living here," Ye Xiaofeng quickly said.

"Kid, I suddenly like a quiet life and don't want to be cleaned by others," Xue Wu continued to tease.

"Alright, the food's getting cold, let's eat quickly," Shuiyue'er interrupted when she saw the two arguing.

After the four of them finished eating, Shui Bing'er took out a small bag and gave it to Ye Xiaofeng. "Xiaofeng, take these 100 gold soul coins first. If you need more, just tell me and I'll figure something out," Shui Bing'er said gently.

"Thank you, I'll pay you back when I earn the money." Ye Xiaofeng didn't want to be a kept man, but he had no choice but to accept it for now.

"You brat, your older sister has given you her entire month's living expenses, so you'd better be careful with your money," Xue Wu warned Ye Xiaofeng in advance.

Ye Xiaofeng nodded, and the four of them returned to Peach Blossom Garden, where they started arguing again about dividing the houses.

In the end, Ye Xiaofeng slept in the big house in the middle, Shui Bing'er in the house on the right, and Xue Wu and Shui Yue'er were arranged to stay in the two rooms on the right.

For the next six months, Ye Xiaofeng spent his free time in the library during class time, and basically read all the information on soul masters and soul beasts.

Xue Wu and Shui Yue'er are also close to breaking through to level 30. Shui Bing'er suggested that they continue to hunt soul beasts in the Sunset Forest to obtain soul rings.

However, Ye Xiaofeng rejected the idea. Their attributes were water and ice, so they had to go either to the sea or to the far north. In the end, they chose the far north.

Ye Xiaofeng brought three women to the outer edge of the far north. It was bitterly cold there, and the three women were shivering, but Ye Xiaofeng was fine.

"Xiaofeng, how long are we going to stay here?" Shui Bing'er couldn't help but ask.

"It depends on our luck. If we're lucky, it'll only take a few days, but if we're unlucky, it could take up to half a year," Ye Xiaofeng said calmly.

"If I had known the far north was so cold, I would have gone to Sunset Forest or Starry Sky Forest instead," Xuewu complained.

"Wu'er, I came here for you. Even this cold weather can't stop my passionate feelings for you," Ye Xiaofeng said shamelessly.

"Don't say such disgusting things, hurry up and find a suitable soul beast." Xue Wu never gave Ye Xiaofeng a kind look.

"Look how well-behaved Yue'er is, she's nothing like you," Ye Xiaofeng said, pinching Shui Yue'er's chubby cheeks.

"Moon, you can't fall for his tricks. My older sister was tricked into marrying him with his smooth talk," Xuewu said to Shuiyue'er.

"Don't worry, Sister Xuewu," Shuiyue'er said with a smile, but her laughter betrayed her.

"Alright, stop fooling around, let's hurry up and find the soul beast," Shui Bing'er said, seeing the three of them going on and on.

After three days of searching, Ye Xiaofeng finally found the soul beast's footprints on the ground.

"We've been searching for three days and haven't seen a single ghost," Xue Wu complained to Ye Xiaofeng again.

"Wu'er, watch out behind you!" Ye Xiaofeng teleported, using his left hand to hug Xue Wu and his right hand to block the Ice Emperor Scorpion's sneak attack with the Seven Kill Sword. He was forced to retreat three steps while holding Xue Wu.

If Ye Xiaofeng hadn't blocked the Ice Emperor Scorpion's stinging tail, it would have instantly killed Xue Wu.

"Prepare for battle, first soul skill - Ice Seal!" Shui Bing'er reacted immediately.

Shui Yue'er also joined the battle with her "First Soul Skill - Extreme Cold Tornado".

"Judging from the size of this Ice Emperor Scorpion and the attack power in the battle just now, its cultivation level is close to two thousand years," Ye Xiaofeng analyzed.

"It's about to break free of the ice seal," Shui Bing'er knew that her ice seal couldn't hold the Ice Emperor Scorpion for long.

"You guys restrain it, leave the rest to me," Ye Xiaofeng's eyes changed instantly.

"Xiaofeng, be careful," Xuewu said with concern. She usually argued with Ye Xiaofeng, but she also knew when to be appropriate for the situation.

"Don't worry, I won't die. I haven't even married any of you yet, how could I possibly die so soon?" Ye Xiaofeng said with a smile.

"I take back what I just said. You should just get killed by the Ice Emperor Scorpion," Xue Wu said angrily. This guy has quite the nerve, telling us all to marry him.

"Second Soul Skill - Sweeping Through a Thousand Armies!" Ye Xiaofeng wielded the Seven Kill Sword and slashed forward. Just as the Ice Emperor Scorpion broke free from its ice seal, the Seven Kill Sword struck the Ice Emperor Scorpion's body, but it blocked the Seven Kill Sword's attack with its pincers.

But this time, he angered the Ice Emperor Scorpion, which then attacked Ye Xiaofeng directly.

"Second Soul Skill - Rainfall" Snow Dance restricts the speed of Ice Emperor Scorpion.

"First Soul Skill - Ice Seal" Shui Bing'er instantly froze the Ice Emperor Scorpion again.

"Second Soul Skill - Zero Degree Impact," Shui Yue'er said.

"Third Soul Skill - One Sword to Seal the Throat" Ye Xiaofeng thrust at the Ice Emperor Scorpion.

This wave of attacks injured the Ice Emperor Scorpion, which, seeing that it was outnumbered and unable to win, tried to escape.

"Don't let him get away, leave the rest to me," Ye Xiaofeng said fiercely to Ice Emperor Scorpion.

"Third Soul Skill - One Sword to Seal the Throat" Instantly, the surroundings froze, and the Ice Emperor Scorpion was unable to move. Ye Xiaofeng went over and severely injured the Ice Emperor Scorpion with one sword.

"Xiaofeng, how come your spirit ring has become a hundred-year-old one?" Xuewu asked in surprise, having been too engrossed in the battle to pay much attention to Ye Xiaofeng.

"You two should just pretend you never saw this," Shui Bing'er said coldly. Xue Wu originally wanted to ask for clarification, but since her elder sister had spoken, she didn't bother to inquire further.

"You two discuss who should get the Soul Ring first," Ye Xiaofeng said, finding it difficult to decide since both of them had reached level 30.

"Sister Xuewu, you go first," Yue'er said with a smile.

"No, you go first. Maybe there's an even better soul beast waiting for me." Xue Wu still didn't want to take advantage. The Ice Emperor Scorpion was already very good, and it would be hard to find a better one. But she didn't regret giving it to Yue'er. In her heart, Yue'er was like her own younger sister.

"Moon, you're lucky this time. Sit down and absorb it." Ye Xiaofeng felt gratified to see them yielding to each other.

"Xiaofeng, can I absorb a 2000-year-old soul ring?" Yue'er was a little worried that she wouldn't be able to absorb it and would waste such a good soul ring.

"Don't worry about that, I'm here," Ye Xiaofeng reassured Yue'er.

"Let's get started, we still need to find Xuewu." Ye Xiaofeng handed the sword in his hand to Yue'er.

Shui Yue'er stopped arguing, took the sword from Ye Xiaofeng, stabbed it into the Ice Emperor Scorpion's body, and then sat down to absorb the soul ring.

A purple soul ring emerged from the Ice Emperor Scorpion's body and transferred to Shui Yue'er's body. Yue'er slowly absorbed it, sweat dripping from her forehead.

Bing'er and Xue Wu were sweating bullets for Yue'er, but Ye Xiaofeng activated the treatment, ready to save Yue'er at any moment. After an afternoon of absorption, the treatment was finally successful.

"Xiaofeng, I finally succeeded!" Yue'er opened her eyes, stood up, and immediately hugged Ye Xiaofeng excitedly.

"Hey, hey, hey, little sister Yue'er, you're already throwing yourself into my arms so quickly? Do you think we don't exist? Let's roll around in bed, we'll roll around in bed when we get back," Xue Wu teased Yue'er.

"Sister Xuewu, I was just so excited that I couldn't control myself," Yue'er said, blushing.

"We can't let this guy get away with this. Tell me quickly what the third soul skill is." Xue Wu just didn't want Ye Xiaofeng to take advantage of her.

Ye Xiaofeng was puzzled. What had he done to offend this brat? Ever since they met, she had been targeting him and trying to sabotage him in every way. In the end, she didn't even give him a kind look.

"Third Soul Skill - Ice Explosion Technique!" Shui Yue'er said, activating her third soul skill, which was launched into the distance, causing a massive explosion within a hundred meters.

"Wow, that's amazing!" None of them had expected the Ice Blast spell to be so powerful.

"Ice Explosion consumes 20% of my soul power, but this decreases as my cultivation level increases. Thank you, Xiaofeng," Shuiyue said, running over and giving Ye Xiaofeng a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Xiaofeng, let's talk about something," Xuewu said, rubbing her hands together as she looked at Ye Xiaofeng.

"What is it?" Ye Xiaofeng asked, noticing Xue Wu's ill-intentioned look.

"Find me another Ice Emperor Scorpion, and I also want Ice Blast. I'll agree to any condition you set." Xue Wu was completely tempted when she saw the power of Ice Blast.

"You'd be willing to be my wife?" Ye Xiaofeng said.

"It's not impossible," Xuewu said firmly.

"The Ice Blast Technique is extremely rare. Even if you find the Ice Emperor Scorpion again, it's very difficult for it to appear. Its probability is one in ten thousand." Ye Xiaofeng had spent half a year in the library, so he was well aware of the probability of the Ice Blast Technique appearing.

"But even if we can't find one like that, we can look for others, right, Wu'er?" Ye Xiaofeng said with a smile.

"Without Ice Blast, you can forget about marrying me, hmph!" With that, she turned and left, causing Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er to chuckle to themselves.

"It seems our marriage is not meant to be yet. By the way, Yue'er, shouldn't you repay me with your body?" Ye Xiaofeng saw that Xuewu had no chance, so he looked for Yue'er.

"Sister Xuewu, wait for me!" Shuiyue'er was too lazy to pay attention to Ye Xiaofeng. Being with Ye Xiaofeng meant she would only be bullied by him, and she couldn't do anything about it.

"It seems someone's harem is not going to materialize," Shui Bing'er said, adding insult to injury as she saw Xue Wu and Yue'er ignoring Ye Xiaofeng.

"Bing'er, why don't they understand my feelings? I wish they were like Bing'er," Ye Xiaofeng said shamelessly.

"Come on, it's not enough to flirt with me, you want to flirt with the other two too," Shui Bing'er said angrily.

"How could that be? Just kidding, hehe." Ye Xiaofeng reached out and took Shui Bing'er's hand.

"Bing'er, how come your hands are so soft?" Ye Xiaofeng held onto Shui Bing'er's hand tightly.

Shui Bing'er tried to pull her hand back, but after several attempts, she couldn't, and let Ye Xiaofeng hold her hand.

"Stop fooling around, let's find a spirit ring for Xuewu and then go back." There are spirit beast spirit rings that are most suitable for them here, but Shui Bing'er doesn't want to stay in such cold weather.

"Bing'er, you're getting more and more beautiful. If only this moment could stand still," Ye Xiaofeng said wistfully, then hugged Shui Bing'er and kissed her.

"Xiaofeng, is something on your mind? Can you tell me?" Shui Bing'er noticed Ye Xiaofeng's worries.

"It's nothing, I was just mentioning it," Ye Xiaofeng said nothing, took Shui Bing'er's hand and followed them, continuing to search for suitable soul beasts in the far north outer circle.
