Chapter 4 The Journey to the Far North Begins (Please read on... monthly tickets... recommendation tickets... favorites)
"Hehe," Ling Han's smile was as bright as a child who had stolen some candy, his dependence on Xue Qinglan was undisguised, and he looked up at her.

"If I were to venture into that hellish place alone? I wouldn't dare! But I have Sister Xue here!"

His tone was light, yet it was filled with absolute trust in this level 96 Super Douluo.

"With a powerful figure who can single-handedly take on a 100,000-year-old phoenix and even turn it into a spirit ring to protect me, my safety on this newbie village graduation trip is practically maxed out, it's like SSS-level VIP treatment!"

Xue Qinglan was slightly taken aback by Ling Han's straightforward, passionate, and even slightly roguish trust.

On that icy, aloof face, the corners of her lips unexpectedly and subtly curved upwards, like a snow lotus quietly blooming on an icy plain—fleeting yet leaving behind a faint warmth.

"Young Master Han, you flatter me. Protecting your safety is simply my duty." She spoke earnestly, then changed the subject, her icy blue eyes gazing solemnly at Ling Han.

"However, Young Master Han, there is one thing you must remember: the absorption of a spirit ring is ultimately the most direct collision and fusion of the will and energy of a spirit master and a spirit beast. External forces can only protect you, but they cannot withstand the impact for you."

"Especially for soul beasts with ancient bloodlines and powerful strength, the energy contained in their soul rings is more violent and unruly, and the impact of the remaining soul beast will is more ferocious and intense."

"Even with me by your side to protect you and suppress most of the violent energy, the absorption process will not be easy or pleasant, and may even be... extremely painful."

"Sister Xue, don't worry about that!" Ling Han stopped joking, straightened his thin but already showing signs of resilience, and his eyes burned with a fierce fighting spirit, as if there were icy blue flames dancing in them.

"My Ice Prison Dragon Emperor Martial Soul is no pushover! The ultimate ice grants me control over the very essence of ice; the ultimate power bestows upon me unparalleled physique! With dual attributes at my core, I refuse to believe I can't withstand the energy impact of a mere thousand-year soul ring!"

"If we're going to choose, we'll choose the top-tier soul beast with the strongest bloodline, the most ferocious power, and the purest, most maximally pure ice attribute!"

"Only a soul ring like this can be absorbed powerfully! The resulting soul skill will be domineering and explosive!" He seemed to already see the awe-inspiring scene of thousands of miles of ice and the mighty dragon when he activated his first soul skill.

As if in response to his current surge of determination and desire—

[Ding! Detected that the host has identified a core objective: to acquire the first spirit ring!]

[Mission Issued: The First Journey to the Far North]

[Mission Objective: Travel to the core area of ​​the far north, successfully hunt down a top-tier soul beast with an ancient and powerful bloodline, extremely pure ice attribute, and an age of no less than five thousand years, and successfully absorb its soul ring using your own power.]

[Mission Reward: 1. Initial Activation Permafrost Domain (Unlock the power of the domain and take control of the icy territory!)]

2. One random ice-type soul bone (random part; soul bones are rare and hard to come by!).

3. Summoning Points x 1000 (can be used for redemption in the shop or for summoning)
4. Randomly summon one card (Adding another powerful boost!)

[Failure Penalty: The potential of the Ice Prison Dragon Emperor Martial Soul's origin is damaged (On the path to the ultimate, one either advances or regresses! Young man, don't be a coward!)]

"Wow! System, you're getting excited now, aren't you? Giving us missions right away?"

Ling Han was stunned for a moment, then his eyes burst forth with a light more dazzling than the stars, and he was so excited that he almost jumped up on the back of the ice phoenix.

"The Permafrost Domain is activated?! And a Soul Bone?! My god! This reward... it's practically a super deluxe package tailor-made for me!"

He felt his blood boiling. "This is too good to pass up! This trip to the far north is a must! It has to happen! I'll fight anyone who tries to stop me!" He suddenly turned to look at Xue Qinglan beside him, waving his small hand forcefully, his youthful face carrying an air of commanding authority.

“Sister Xue, let’s not delay, let’s pack our things and set off now… uh…” Just as he got into the mood, he glanced around at the image of the dilapidated hut in his mind, now abandoned thousands of miles away, and his voice suddenly stopped. He scratched his head awkwardly.

"It seems... there's nothing to pack up." The only thing worth anything is probably the water tank that was frozen solid by his own martial spirit's pressure.

"Young Master need not worry about trivial matters." Xue Qinglan's voice carried a reassuring coolness.

She gracefully raised her left hand, and on her slender index finger, a storage ring with an antique design and a deep ice-blue gemstone quietly appeared, with what seemed to be a slowly flowing ice crystal nebula inside the gemstone.

"I have prepared everything I need for daily life and emergencies, and it is all included."

A faint light flashed at her fingertips, and the ring disappeared. "However, this place is more than ten thousand miles away from the core area of ​​the far north. Even if I fly at full speed, day and night, it will still take several days to arrive."

"Fly over?" Ling Han subconsciously touched his chin, then his eyes darted around, filled with a mischievousness and intense anticipation, as he looked up at Xue Qinglan with his small face.

"Sister Xue, your martial soul is the Frost Phoenix, right? The phoenix... that's a divine bird! It can definitely fly, right?" He paused, his tone carrying a hint of coquettish probing.

"Um... when you're flying, could you give me a ride? Hehe, I promise I'll be good and won't cause any trouble!"

Xue Qinglan instantly understood her little master's little scheme.

Looking into his bright, expectant eyes, like a young animal craving candy, the helplessness in her heart was quickly replaced by an almost indulgent feeling.

She nodded slightly, her cool voice softening a bit: "Of course. The Frost Phoenix is ​​a supreme divine bird that soars through the heavens and controls wind and snow. If you don't mind the cold and hard feathers, young master, I'd be happy to give you a ride."

"I don't mind! Absolutely not!" Ling Han was so excited she almost danced with joy, her face flushed with excitement.

"Riding a phoenix! This treatment, this prestige, it's almost as good as riding a dragon! So cool!"

He urged impatiently, "Let's go! Sister Xue, let's set off now! I can't wait to go fleece the far north... ah, I mean, to find my destined, perfect first spirit ring!"

Seeing Ling Han's joyful and energetic appearance, as vibrant as the rising sun, Xue Qinglan's heart, which had been frozen for ages, couldn't help but ripple with a subtle emotion.

Without saying another word, she stretched out her slender hand, which seemed to be sculpted from the purest ice and snow, with her palm facing upward. A gentle yet resilient ice-blue soul power, like the warmest cloud, gently but steadily lifted Ling Han's small body and placed it firmly in front of her, at the junction of the ice phoenix's broad back and slender neck.

"Young Master Han, please stand firm and hold on tight." Her voice remained clear even in the howling wind.

The moment the words fell—

"Wow—!"

A clear, melodious phoenix cry, seemingly able to pierce through the heavens, suddenly rang out beside the two of them!

This cry was not a deliberate release of pressure, but it carried a sacred aura derived from bloodline and a chilling aura of controlling extreme cold, instantly cleansing the surrounding chaotic airflow.

Xue Qinglan's powerful soul force surged like an invisible tide, and the huge, illusory ice crystal phoenix phantom behind her suddenly solidified at this moment!
