Chapter 119: The Ice Goddess
"Bing´er?"
The Ice Emperor looked at the white-haired figure beside her with disbelief. Despite her outward appearance of being more approachable than herself, only someone who had lived together for hundreds of thousands of years, like herself, could truly understand the pride within the Snow Empress. And now, she was willing to become a human's martial soul?
"Why? Is it just because I have the Ice God's approval?"
"Yes, the Extreme North has been without the protection of the Ice God for far too long."
When Tianmeng heard that the Snow Empress was trying to take Bing´er's place, he immediately looked at her with anxiety.
"Snow Empress, you are the embodiment of the spirit of ice and snow from the Extreme North, representing the fortune of the entire region. You shouldn't leave here."
"You're right, but compared to the new Ice God, this doesn't matter much."
"If you really want to, you may."
"Ning Bei."
Seeing that Ning Bei had agreed, Tianmeng looked at him with discomfort, realizing that he just wanted to stay with the Ice Emperor.
Ning Bei frowned and looked at Tianmeng.
"Your goal should be to help me become a god, so why do you keep preventing the Snow Empress from becoming my martial soul? In terms of martial soul quality, the Snow Empress should be superior to the Ice Emperor, right?"
"Don't let that intangible emotion affect you."
Tianmeng was taken aback when he heard Ning Bei's words, then lowered his head and remained silent.
Indeed, as Ning Bei said, his head had been clouded by an unseen love. Having the Snow Empress as a martial soul should make him happier.
The Snow Empress nodded and comforted the green-haired little girl beside her. She then slowly walked in front of Ning Bei.
"Ice God, let's begin."
"Yes, thank you. If I become a god, I will return your freedom. This is my promise."
The moment Ning Bei spoke, a vague, indescribable sensation appeared in his heart. It seemed that a faint connection was forming between him and the Snow Empress.
The Snow Empress smiled, a rare smile.
"I believe you. Release your second martial soul."
Seeing that Ning Bei was ready, the Snow Empress no longer hesitated. She burned all her soul power and began to shape Ning Bei's second martial soul.
"Bing´er."
The Ice Emperor looked at the Snow Empress, who was about to leave, her face filled with sadness. From now on, she would be alone in this cold snowfield.
Ah Bao and Er Ming saw that the martial soul shaping had begun and quickly protected the center, remaining vigilant of any sounds around them, fearing that Ning Bei would be disturbed. However, they were clearly mistaken. With the intense aura of the Snow Empress and the Ice Emperor here, who would dare to cause trouble in this corner of the Extreme North?
Qian Renxue, at this moment, slowly sat down not far from Ning Bei, staring at his face with unblinking eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
"You're quite handsome when you keep quiet!"
Ning Bei, as his martial soul was being shaped, felt warmth spreading throughout his body. His soul power was slowly increasing as he moved closer to the titled Douluo level.
Then came several days of waiting. The Snow Empress' aura gradually weakened, while the Ice Goddess's body behind Ning Bei became more solid and real.
On the third day, the Snow Empress' form completely disappeared from everyone's sight, and Ning Bei's second martial soul began to show its first soul ring.
However, the soul ring was not the expected blood-red color, but rather an orange-golden hue.
Slowly, the second and third soul rings appeared, each one as orange-gold as the first.
Once the soul rings had been fully formed, Ning Bei felt that something inside his body had begun to change. It seemed that a soul bone close to 700,000 years in age was slowly taking shape.
By the seventh day, Ning Bei, who had been sitting cross-legged, finally opened his eyes.
He stood up and stretched, making a series of cracking sounds.
The noise startled Qian Renxue, who had been resting with her eyes closed.
The little angel opened her eyes and looked at Ning Bei with surprise.
"You bad guy, did you succeed?"
"Yes! Soul Emperor Qian Renxue, please mind your wording. From now on, you may refer to me as Titled Douluo, my lord."
Looking at the smug Ning Bei, Qian Renxue could only shake her head. "This dog man only knows how to make me angry with his mouth! I need to find a soul skill to seal his mouth in the future."
Beside them, Ah Bao , Er Ming, Tianmeng, and the others looked at him with joy.
"Big brother."
"Ning Bei, did you succeed?"
"Ning Bei, let me see your martial soul!"
Before Qian Renxue could argue with him, the beasts quickly surrounded Ning Bei, bombarding him with questions.
From afar, the Ice Emperor watched Ning Bei, her expression complicated. She didn't approach.
Ning Bei smiled and nodded. He then moved, and the Ice Goddess martial soul appeared behind him, with three orange-golden soul rings floating in the air.
"Bad guy, why are your soul rings this color?"
Ning Bei thought for a moment and then looked at the puzzled faces of the others.
"Just think of it as a hundred-thousand-year soul ring with only one soul skill."
"Next, I still need to find a ninth soul ring for the Dan Tower. My soul power has already reached level 90."
Upon hearing Ning Bei's explanation, everyone was thrilled for him, also marveling at his terrifying talent.
A Titled Douluo at just over 20 years old—what a crushing blow to Big Hammer and a tearful moment for the Pope.
Tianmeng, understanding the terrifying power of the Ice Goddess more deeply, looked at Ning Bei with excitement.
"What about your soul skill? Isn't it the Three Supreme Skills of the Ice Empress?"
"Three Supreme Skills of the Ice Empress?"
Qian Renxue looked at Tianmeng in confusion, not understanding what he meant.
Ning Bei nodded to confirm Tianmeng's guess.
"Exactly, the soul skills brought by the three soul rings are the Three Supreme Skills of the Ice Empress."
"Emperor's Cold Sky · Snow Dance Bright Sun."
"Emperor's Palm · Great Cold Without Snow."
"Emperor's Sword · Ice Extreme Peerless."
"Just as you said. You really have great luck. Even I'm a bit envious."
Looking at Tianmeng, who had regained his vigor, Ning Bei couldn't help but tease him, "You're envious? The stronger I am, the more comfortable you'll be in the future."
"Well, that's true. Although I'm not good at fighting, my vision is the best in the world."
While the group was talking, suddenly, a dazzling light shone from Ning Bei's body. His figure started to become ethereal, as if he was about to disappear at any moment.
Qian Renxue, seeing this, became anxious and quickly grabbed Ning Bei's arm.
The next moment, the white light vanished, and both Ning Bei and Qian Renxue disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Roar, who?"
Ah Bao quickly transformed into his original form, looking around anxiously, trying to find who had taken his big brother.
Er Ming, noticing the situation, also transformed into his original form and scanned the surroundings.
Tianmeng, completely bewildered, looked at where Ning Bei had disappeared. "What's going on? I haven't even returned to your consciousness yet?"
Tianmeng instinctively communicated with his soul ring, but to his surprise, he couldn't find Ning Bei's location.
The Ice Emperor, seeing this, approached Tianmeng.
"What's happening? Where is he?"
Tianmeng shook his head, his face darkening.
"I don't know. I've lost contact with my soul ring."
"How could this happen? Then Xue'er..."
