Douluo: From Rusted Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 22: The Shui family's daughter has grown up, but has a cold defect
"Shui family?"

Although Ji Wuming knew the Shui family in Tianshui City, he still pretended to be confused and asked.

After all, he is currently staying in the vicinity of Hanhai City and has not been to the inland. There are some things that he just needs to know by himself, and when it is time to show ignorance, he should show ignorance.

Upon hearing this, Dean Shui patiently explained to Ji Wuming, "The Shui family of Tianshui City is my clan. The current clan leader is a Soul Emperor. Although the Shui family cannot be compared with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, it is still a small to medium-sized family."

"The martial spirits of the younger generation in this clan are flawed. They had no other choice but to come to Hanhai City."

Dean Shui has always been concerned about his niece's martial soul defect. He had informed the clan about it eight or nine months ago. He didn't expect them to come only now, which made him a little disappointed.

Dean Shui deliberately glanced at Ji Wuming, then continued, "Little Ji, your imaginative theory of martial soul evolution may be able to solve the martial soul deficiency problem of our younger generation."

"I don't deserve it. My research on martial spirits is only at the theoretical and practical stage. Since the dean has something to ask, I will try my best."

In order to solve the problem of the Shui family's younger generation's martial spirit defects, Ji Wuming, adhering to his previous friendship with Dean Shui and Director Lu, decided to help.

…………

Soon, the Worldfake Hotel,
Ji Wuming came to the front of a meeting room on the top floor. As the door slowly opened, a woman in a blue suit sat on one side. Next to her was a little girl about 1.34 meters tall. She immediately stood up and said respectfully,
"Hello, Shui Bo!"

The little girl had a delicate face and was already a beauty, but at this moment her face was pale and she exuded an extremely cold and icy aura.

"Brother, he is the one you have been looking for these days!"

Li Xinyue walked towards Ji Wuming and looked at him carefully. She was surprised by Ji Wuming's eyes and the aura he exuded. If Shui Wuliang had not explained it before, she would have thought that the person standing in front of her was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old, experienced soul master.

"Yes, this is my most proud student whom I mentioned in my letter to you."

Dean Shui looked at Ji Wuming and introduced them one by one.
"This is Li Xinyue, the external affairs director of Tianshui College."

"And this girl, who is not much different in age from you, is none other than my niece, Shui Bing'er, who has a defective martial spirit."

"Hello, Brother Ji!"

Before Ji Wuming could react, Shui Bing'er immediately greeted him and expressed her respect.

As early as seven months ago, when she read the contents of the letter, she had fantasized about Ji Wuming, who was mentioned many times. He was only at the third level of soul power, but he could break through to the level of a great soul master within five years.
Moreover, his originally fragile Rust Spear Martial Soul has also been greatly enhanced. Moreover, his method of water pressure body forging is abnormal. Where else can one find such hardworking and tough peers like him?

At this moment, Shui Bing'er looked at Ji Wuming and her face turned red with shame, but due to the defect of her own martial soul, her face was still pale.

"Hello!"

Just as Ji Wuming was returning the greeting, Shui Binger's Ice Phoenix Martial Spirit unconsciously appeared behind her. The temperature in the entire conference room suddenly dropped, and many places froze instantly.

Ji Wuming was extremely surprised by this. He had never expected that the Ice Phoenix Spirit could spontaneously manifest and unleash its might. This was not normal. At this moment, Li Xinyue immediately used her first spirit skill. A ball of flame quickly enveloped Shui Bing'er's entire body, and the ice in the room melted into water in an instant.

"Sorry, Bing'er's cold symptoms have broken out again. I have to help her suppress it first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xinyue carried her out of the meeting room, leaving Ji Wuming and Dean Shui alone there.

"Dean, should we go and help?"

"No need, Xianyue will handle it herself."

Ji Wuming heard this and asked curiously: "What's going on? Her martial spirit..."

Before Ji Wuming finished speaking, Dean Shui gestured for him to sit down and told him the unfortunate incident.

"Ever since Shui Bing'er awakened her Ice Phoenix spirit, this cold deficiency has been associated with it. After numerous doctors' treatments and the elders' speculation, it's believed that this deficiency is a side effect of the human body's inability to withstand the Ice Phoenix spirit. After all..."

After listening to the twists and turns, Ji Wuming had a deeper understanding of this.
Shui Bing'er awakened the Ice Phoenix, a top-level elemental beast spirit. Logically, it should have been a spirit with full innate spirit power. Only a perfect spirit with full innate spirit power would not cause harm to the human body, which is the so-called spirit defect.

However, her innate soul power was only level nine. Just like a certain evil fire phoenix soul master, her martial soul must have defects, and the defects of this elemental martial soul were often the most fatal. She happened to be the most unfortunate one, and every once in a while she would be deeply affected by the cold.
Although women are of yin nature and can withstand cold things, the cold syndrome brought by the Ice Phoenix martial spirit is not an ordinary disease. If Shui Bing'er is not careful, she is likely to freeze to death under her own martial spirit.

No wonder she couldn't control herself when she fully demonstrated the power of the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul at the Soul Master Competition.

"Xiao Ji, now that you know Bing'er's spirit flaw, do you have a cure for it?"

"I think I have it!"

Ji Wuming nodded slightly, but did not say it directly. Instead, he wanted to wait until Shui Bing'er's cold symptoms were relieved.

…………

At this moment, in a top-class guest room, surrounded by mist, Shui Bing'er was naked in a specially made tub, while Li Xinyue was exerting all her strength to activate her first and second soul skills, controlling the flames beneath the tub.
"Bing'er, quickly take this ten thousand year old whale glue."

A small cup of boiled whale glue was brought to Shui Bing'er. She drank it quickly, and her body became extremely hot. One yin and one yang, one hot and one cold, she used this to resist the biting pain caused by the cold.
If it weren't for the cold syndrome, a martial soul defect, Li Xinyue would never have let Shui Bing'er take such aphrodisiac and disgusting things.

Shui Bing'er endured the pain, keeping her composure at all times and said, "Aunt Xian, I've made you worried again!"

"It doesn't matter. Your mother died early. Besides your father, I am your only relative in this world."

Li Xinyue especially cherishes the sensible girl in front of her. A genius who has awakened a top-level beast martial spirit has to suffer this torture. She hopes that Ji Wuming, whom her elder brother mentioned, can have a complete and radical cure so that Bing'er can suffer less.
