Douluo: Soul Shadow King.

In a cave in the core area of ​​the Far North.

An Ice Emperor Scorpion with a body length of about 1.5 meters and a turquoise tail was looking at the human in front of her with mixed emotions. Not long ago, she almost died outside, but now, what made her even more worried was what the purpose of this human with unfathomable strength was.

Few humans have ever set foot in the Far North, so Ice Emperor's concerns are not unreasonable.

After a long silence, Bingdi couldn't help but speak first, "Thank you for saving me, if it weren't for you..."

Before Bingdi finished speaking, Cheng Xiao raised his hand to interrupt him. He looked at Bingdi and said calmly, "You can see that these creatures from other worlds are not something you can resist. I only give you two choices now. Either become my soldier or be killed by my soldiers."

Bingdi's pupils suddenly shrank. She looked at Cheng Xiao angrily and said in a deep voice, "What's the difference between these two choices? If that's the case, then why did you save me? Wouldn't it be easier to just watch me get killed?"

"There is no difference." Cheng Xiao said coldly, "I am just giving you a chance to choose. As for the result, there is no difference."

"You!" Bingdi was speechless. Her crystal yellow eyes flashed with hesitation, and for a moment she didn't know how to make a decision.

Cheng Xiao was not in a hurry. Since he had come to the Far North, he would not go back empty-handed. Although he had obtained the legion of the King of Bitter Cold, these were only preparations for the upcoming war. While the Dragon Emperor could not descend on Douluo Continent, he still had time to improve his own strength and the strength of his legion. Otherwise, the entire continent would be engulfed by the flames of war.

Time passed by minute by minute. Looking at Bingdi who couldn't make a choice for a long time, Cheng Xiao sighed and said, "Bingdi, if you follow me, you won't have to worry about the heavenly tribulation in the future."

"Also, can you contact Xue Di now? I want to see her."

As soon as these words were spoken, Bingdi could no longer sit still. She raised her head in shock, with human emotions revealed in her crystal yellow eyes. She knew that the human in front of her was very strong, but Xuedi was the leader of the three kings of the Far North, and her own strength was terrifying. This was no joke.

However, Bingdi hesitated for a moment and decided to agree because she didn't want to die. If Xuedi came, she might still have a chance to negotiate.

"Okay, I promise you." Having made up her mind, Bingdi didn't say anything else. Then, her whole body shook, and a green light burst out from her tail. The sky suddenly turned green, and this green light continued to spread towards the deepest part of the Far North.

"Xuedi, are you there?"

After a moment, a clear and pleasant voice came from the sky.

"Bing'er, what's wrong?"

"Something happened to me here."

"I am coming over now."

As the cold and pleasant voice faded away, compared to Cheng Xiao's calmness, Bing Di became visibly nervous. She didn't know whether Xue Di would fight with the human in front of her. After all, this was the first time such a strange thing happened. It was simply outrageous that a human would want to see Xue Di.

For the sake of saving his life, Bingdi kindly reminded Cheng Xiao: "If you can persuade Xuedi, I will agree to it."

Cheng Xiao nodded slightly. He sensed the energy between heaven and earth. A chill was spreading. He knew that it was the Snow Queen. She was coming...

Not long after, as a gust of cold wind whistled past, the extreme cold caused the surrounding air to condense, and at this moment, a figure appeared in front of them.

Her snow-white hair fell to her waist, her sky-blue eyes were ethereal and clear, as if they could see through everything in the world, her slender body was flawless, and her pair of long, white legs were suspended in the air more than ten centimeters above the ground, so white and tender that they seemed as if they had never been tainted by the dust of the world.

Just by looking at her, one can feel her innate coolness and nobility.

It seemed that she had not expected that there would be a human being here. Xue Di's gaze first fell on Cheng Xiao. With just one glance, she sensed that this human being was not simple.

"Bing'er, what's going on?"

Xue Di did not show any hostility towards Cheng Xiao, but immediately asked Bing Di for the reason. Bing Di also explained what had happened. When she heard the two choices given by Cheng Xiao, a trace of emotion appeared on her cold face.

"Human, you are threatening the Ice Emperor." The Snow Emperor narrowed his eyes and spoke in a cold tone.

"You are insulting my king." As soon as Xue Di finished speaking, Nash, who had been staying in the shadow, couldn't stand it anymore. It decisively crawled out of the shadow, emitting terrifying magic fluctuations, and a pair of ice-blue and red eyes were filled with anger. If Cheng Xiao hadn't given the order, it would have started killing long ago.

"Nash, don't talk too much." Cheng Xiao reminded himself, and then said lightly: "Xue Di, there is no need for us to become enemies. This is not a good thing for you or for me."

"You can sign a partnership contract with her." At this moment, a voice that only Cheng Xiao could hear resounded in his mind.

Cheng Xiao was slightly startled. Partner contract? It was a strange word, but he was not confused, because the owner of the voice was the familiar voice of the Shadow King Aspen.

Then, a piece of information suddenly popped up in his mind. Cheng Xiao frowned. After digesting this sudden information, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the power of the Shadow King was even more magical than he had imagined.

"I think my attitude is very clear." Xue Di's expression did not change at all, she still looked indifferent.

However, Cheng Xiao didn't care. He looked into Xue Di's eyes and said, "After reading this, it's not too late to refuse."

After saying that, Cheng Xiao raised his hand, and a dark purple ball of light floated out from his palm, and then stopped in front of Xue Di.

"This is the best solution I can think of. Take a look."

Snow Emperor frowned and covered the dark purple ball of light with his hand, while Ice Emperor on the side stared at Cheng Xiao blankly.

"This breath... is full of death."

Cheng Xiao did not answer, but also covered the dark purple light ball with his hand. For a moment, some kind of connection seemed to be established between him and Xue Di. Then, he saw Xue Di from the spiritual space created by the partnership contract.

Snow Queen looked at Cheng Xiao and was silent for a while before she said in a deep voice, "I have seen the contract. I can agree to it, but you also have to sign a partnership contract with Ice Queen. Otherwise, I will not agree."

"I promise you." Cheng Xiao said without hesitation.

"?" Xue Di was stunned for a moment, staring at Cheng Xiao. For some reason, she felt like she had been cheated, and it was because her good friend had been cheated.

Cheng Xiao smiled and said, "It's settled then." "Ice Emperor is a cover, your target is me." As if she had figured something out, Snow Emperor spoke expressionlessly.

"Well...it can be, and it can also be not." Cheng Xiao did not deny it. He looked at Xue Di and smiled.

Xue Di was silent for a long time, and then she spoke softly, "I understand. Since this is a contract signed as partners, let Bing Di come as well."

"Okay." Cheng Xiao agreed.

The next moment, the two of them exited the spiritual space at the same time.

Glancing at the dazed Ice Emperor, Snow Emperor suddenly didn't know what to say. In the Far North, except for the Ice Emperor, she had no other friend she could talk to. And now, in order to help her friend, she even sold herself. For a moment, she suddenly felt as if her brain circuits were confused.

"Bing'er, let's start." Xue Di said.

"Ah?" Bingdi looked at Xuedi blankly. She obviously didn't understand what the other party meant, but soon she understood it, because something called a partnership contract appeared in her mind.

The partnership contract was signed very quickly. After all, the contents of the contract were equal and reciprocal. During the period of validity of the contract, Cheng Xiao, Xue Di and Bing Di were all in tune with each other. Moreover, Cheng Xiao could also use the abilities of Xue Di or Bing Di to possess their power.

When the partnership contract was signed, Xue Di suddenly felt like she had sold herself out. Although she clearly felt that her strength had become stronger, this strange feeling still made her frown.

Fortunately, Xue Di did not lose her own power, which means that she does not need to rely on Cheng Xiao to survive. She is still the Xue Di, the leader of the three kings of the Far North.

"Huh... feels pretty good." Cheng Xiao took a deep breath. This trip to the Far North was not in vain. Not only did he obtain the commander of the Cruel Cold Legion, but he also obtained the power of the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress. It could be considered perfect.

"What are you going to do next?" After learning about the news about the king from the contract, Xue Di's cold face became more solemn.

"City of Killing..."

At the same time, the Papal Palace.

"Nana, have you really thought about where you want to go?" Bibi Dong looked quietly at Hu Liena who was kneeling in front of her. Her face was calm, and her tone was filled with worry.

Hu Liena nodded and said firmly: "Teacher, our Spirit Hall Golden Generation was defeated this time. We have brought shame upon you. If I cannot make a breakthrough again, then I am not worthy of being your disciple."

"I am willing to enter the City of Slaughter and take a chance. Please agree, teacher."

Hearing this, Bibi Dong felt helpless. The championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition did not belong to the Spirit Hall, but was taken away by the Seven Star Academy. Because in the team competition that afternoon, the three members of the Golden Generation had tried their best to compete for a place in the finals, but they lost the game the next morning because they did not recover.

Even Bibi Dong did not expect that Dugu Bo's granddaughter Dugu Yan had quietly reached the Soul King level and even her martial soul had evolved. This was simply shocking.

"Nana, if you go to a place like the Killing System, you may never come back. Do you understand?" Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena gently and said, "Why don't you go to the Death Canyon to practice with Xie Yue and Yan? Isn't that great?"

"No, teacher." Hu Liena shook her head and said seriously: "Although the Death Canyon is dangerous, it can't really give me the feeling of death, because I know that you have always sent people to protect us in secret."

"Teacher, I will definitely come back alive, please believe me."

"Okay, in that case, teacher agrees that you can go, but you have to promise me that you will come back alive." Bibi Dong gently stroked Hu Liena's head, and there seemed to be something more in her eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a purple light flashed in Bibi Dong's hand, and when Hu Liena reacted, a white skull appeared in her hand.

"Nana, absorb it before leaving."

Hu Liena was shocked, "Teacher, this is so precious."

Bibi Dong's face darkened and she said, "No matter how precious something is, it is not as important as you. Originally, the spiritual skull was more suitable for you, but it was given to those people from the Seven Star Academy. However, Cheng Xiao is also a member of the Spirit Hall, so it's not a big deal."

"In my heart, you three are more important than soul bones. Don't refuse. Take it."

Hearing this, Hu Liena stopped being hypocritical and took the soul bone bestowed by Bibi Dong with great care.

…………

The magnificent waterfall descended from the sky with vigorous water vapor. The violent roar continued to sound from the bottom of the waterfall. The rushing waterfall hit the rocks heavily, and suddenly, it echoed in this small valley with a roaring sound.

puff.

Tang San couldn't remember how many times he was washed into the pool. Only those who have truly experienced it can understand the impact of a waterfall pouring down from a height of 200 meters.

His father Tang Hao brought him here after the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition ended. With his soul power sealed, it was difficult for him to practice hammering in the waterfall, let alone climb up the extremely smooth stone.

Even with Tang San's tenacious character, he couldn't help but feel frustrated.

That’s right, he suffered a severe psychological blow after losing the game, and now, he and his father are wanted by the Spirit Hall, which is simply adding insult to injury.

What made him most uncomfortable was that his father's cultivation had regressed. Due to his serious injuries, the hidden injuries in Tang Hao's body were completely triggered. He was already seriously injured and had dropped from a Titled Douluo to a Soul Douluo. Even his ninth soul ring has not been able to re-condense until now.

But despite this, Tang Hao still took him for strict special training, and even in order to let Tang San concentrate on practicing, Tang Hao used all means to make Tang San become a strong man. Only in this way can they get rid of their current situation.

Of course, Tang Hao was also extremely upset. He had originally planned to take Xiao Wu away and keep him by his side, but he really didn't expect that day that the Spirit Hall would send so many Titled Douluo to keep him, and even several priests showed up.

So, he had no choice but to take Tang San away. As for Xiao Wu, he had no choice but to give up.

"Alas..." Tang Hao sighed faintly, looking at Tang San who was training hard at the foot of the mountain, and muttered to himself: "Xiao San, don't blame your father for being cruel. If you don't grow up soon, we, father and son, will no longer have a place to stand on this continent." (End of this chapter)
