Douluo Continent: The Ice King's Resurrection

Chapter 96, Section 95: Acquaintance

Looking at the three tense people in front of him, Ling Bingtian couldn't help but chuckle. Who would have thought that the future new Dragon God Douluo, the Tang Sect Master, and the God King of the God Realm would be so embarrassed in front of him?

The reason? Simply because he had killed a few scoundrels. For a moment, Ling Bingtian couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

However, there's no need for him to fall out with them over these matters. He still has a hypothesis that needs Huo Yuhao to confirm. Maintaining good relations with Bei Bei and Tang Ya is also fine. His family's upbringing and the words of a great leader from his previous life have taught Ling Bingtian that the more friends the better, and the fewer enemies the better.

Ling Bingtian smiled as he pondered, but Bei Bei and the other two dared not relax for a moment. Judging from the strength Ling Bingtian had just displayed, killing the three of them would be as easy as crushing a small insect.

Beibei even exchanged a glance with Tang Ya, signaling that if things worsened, she would block Ling Bingtian and let her escape quickly.

However, Tang Ya responded to Bei Bei with a determined look.

She would never abandon Beibei and run away alone!

Seeing Tang Ya's reply, Bei Bei became even more anxious, frequently giving her meaningful glances, wanting to express her inner turmoil but not daring to speak.

This left Ling Bingtian, who was watching them "exchanging glances," dumbfounded. Did these two think he was blind?

"Ahem." Ling Bingtian coughed twice, interrupting the two's "exchanging glances," because he really couldn't stand it anymore.

Meeting the three men's wary yet slightly fearful gazes, Ling Bingtian pulled out something from his storage soul tool that Bei Bei found extremely familiar and showed it to them.

It was a silver token with a large character "言" (yan) engraved on the front and a symbol of Shrek Academy on the back.

That's right, this token is the very one that Yan Shaozhe gave to Ling Bingtian back then. Because the Ling family's education has been too continuous over the years, Ling Bingtian has never had the opportunity to go to Shrek Academy to find Yan Shaozhe and fulfill his promise.

This is also because the Ling family felt that Ling Bingtian's cultivation speed was already fast enough, and there was no need to rely on treasures to further improve his cultivation speed.

Seeing the token in Ling Bingtian's hand and then seeing him dispel the ice armor on his body, Beibei was dumbfounded.

Of the three, Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao were unaware of the significance of Ling Bingtian taking out this token; only he truly understood the weight of the token in Ling Bingtian's hand.

With Yan Shaozhe's token, Ling Bingtian could easily go even to the most mysterious inner courtyard of Shrek Academy.

But hadn't I already heard that Dean Yan had given this token to a descendant of a mysterious family?

"Could it be..." Bei Bei's wariness and fear quickly turned into surprise and relief, especially after hearing Ling Bingtian's next words.

"Hello, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master. Judging from your attire, you shouldn't be from the Heavenly Dragon Gate in Dragon City. In that case, you must be from the Shrek Academy branch. Judging from your appearance, you should recognize this token." Ling Bingtian smiled kindly at the three people in front of him, mainly speaking to Bei Bei.

"Since you recognize this token, you should have some understanding of my identity. I'm not a bad person; those Soul Hunters were the real villains. They have more lives on their hands than you can imagine, so there's no need to be afraid of my methods. This is the retribution they deserve."

After he finished speaking, Ling Bingtian clearly felt that the three people who had heard his words, especially Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao, relaxed and were no longer so tense.

Bei Bei breathed a sigh of relief; the danger was finally over. Judging from Ling Bingtian's demeanor, he didn't seem to have any ulterior motives towards the three of them; otherwise, he could have easily taken action directly.

Seeing that the three had relaxed, Ling Bingtian's gentle smile remained unchanged. With a flick of his wrist, he retrieved the token into his storage soul tool, then extended his hand to Bei Bei and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Ling Bingtian, from the Extreme Ice City of the Heavenly Soul Empire. And you are?"

Seeing that Ling Bingtian had expressed his goodwill, Bei Bei didn't dare to be negligent. She extended her hand and shook hands with Ling Bingtian, then said, "Not at all, it's nice of us to meet you, Ling Bingtian. My name is Mu Bei Bei, from the outer academy of Shrek Academy in Shrek City. You can call me Bei Bei, that's what my friends usually call me."

Then Bei Bei pointed to Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao behind her and introduced them, "This is my good friend from the academy, Tang Ya. This is Huo Yuhao."

Seeing Ling Bingtian looking at them, Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao greeted him, but they were unwilling to say anything more.

After all, Ling Bingtian's recent slaughter and his decisive, unwavering strike at the end had shown them his disregard for the lives of evildoers. Even knowing he probably wouldn't attack them, an indescribable panic and a lingering fear still lingered in their hearts, something Ling Bingtian couldn't resolve with just a few words.

Ling Bingtian smiled, immediately noticing their current state. However, he didn't say anything more. He had seen this phenomenon in previous years, and generally, it would naturally improve after spending some time together.

Therefore, Ling Bingtian was not in a hurry.

After introducing Tang Ya and the other woman, Bei Bei noticed that they were both in a bad mood. Left with no other option, he approached Ling Bingtian and started talking to them, trying to ease the pressure Ling Bingtian was putting on Tang Ya and the other woman.

During their conversation, the two exchanged a lot of information. For example, Bei Bei learned Ling Bingtian's age and the reason he was there, while Ling Bingtian learned that Bei Bei's purpose in coming to the Star Dou Great Forest was to help Tang Ya obtain her third spirit ring.

When Beibei and the other two learned Ling Bingtian's true age, all three of them widened their eyes, even Tang Ya and the other two, who were still somewhat frightened, did so.

They never imagined that Ling Bingtian was the same age as Huo Yuhao. Most importantly, at almost 12 years old, Ling Bingtian was already a Soul Master! Although he had just broken through to the Soul Master level, this was enough to give Bei Bei and the other two a huge psychological shock.

Of the three, Huo Yuhao was the most shocked. He knew that his talent was not good, but he never expected that someone of the same age could be 30 levels ahead of him in terms of soul power level.

This caused the poor child to lower his head, his eyes filled with inferiority and frustration.

Fortunately, the perceptive Bei Bei noticed and quickly comforted him, explaining that Ling Bingtian was a one-in-a-lifetime individual, even in the entire Douluo Continent. Bei Bei was hoping to help Tang Ya recruit Huo Yuhao into the Tang Sect; now that he'd made Huo Yuhao feel inferior, things would be truly ruined.

With Bei Bei's comfort, Huo Yuhao's mood finally improved somewhat. Of course, he still didn't quite dare to talk to Ling Bingtian...

The final conversation centered on what kind of spirit beast Tang Ya wanted to hunt for her spirit ring.

Seeing Tang Ya excitedly reciting the names of soul beasts like the Mandragora Snake and the Human-Faced Demon Spider, Ling Bingtian couldn't help but twitch his lips, looking at Tang Ya with an expression of disbelief as she excitedly recounted the Tang Sect's "great" exploration.
