Douluo Continent: A Review of the Top Ten Martial Souls, Qian Renxue Breaks Through Defenses

Chapter 45 The Fifteenth on the Soul Beast Ranking: The Foundation of the Far North
After all, the commotion caused by so many rewards on the Heavenly Ranking didn't reveal the academy's location, but now a mere sacrifice of a soul beast with less than 200,000 years of cultivation has exposed its location.

This is really... a bit speechless.

However, speechless as he was, Li Tianyi had no other thoughts.

After all, putting aside himself and Yunming and his wife, just relying on the immortal herbs in the academy and Xiao Hongchen, there are very few people on the continent who can break in.

Just as Li Tianyi was grumbling, the rankings continued to be updated.

[Number 15 on the Soul Beast Ranking: Ice Bear King]

【Duration: 285000 years】

[Affiliation: Far North]

[Evaluation: Possesses ultimate control over ice attributes; the Soul Skill "Ice Bear Blizzard" can unleash an absolute zero storm with a diameter of one kilometer; "Ice Meteor" and "Ice Stomp" combine swift attacks with wide-area destruction.]

[Reward: Increase cultivation years by 80,000; increase the diameter of "Ice Bear Blizzard" by 2,000 meters.]

The announcement of the fifteenth place on the Soul Beast Ranking revealed the Ice Bear King's age as a boulder, stirring up waves in the hearts of various forces across the Douluo Continent.

Papal Palace

Bibi Dong suddenly stood up from the papal throne, her purplish-black soul power surging uncontrollably, distorting the air in the hall.

"Two hundred and eighty-five thousand years..."

She hissed softly, her voice trembling almost imperceptibly.

As the Pope who controls the Spirit Hall and overlooks the continent, she knows that 100,000-year-old spirit beasts are already legendary beings.

However, in a short period of time, the Soul Beast Ranking first featured the 60,000-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and then the nearly 300,000-year-old Ice Bear King, which completely overturned her understanding of the continent's top powers.

She could understand if several rare herbs from Tianxing Academy made the list, since they were nurtured by a God-King, which made sense.

But this far north, a land of ice and snow year-round, unexpectedly possesses such profound cultural heritage.

"The far north... such a monster is actually hidden there."

A flicker of greed flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, but it was quickly overshadowed by a deeper sense of apprehension.

She raised her hand and waved, "Send the order! Immediately increase manpower to monitor the far north and find out everything about this Ice Bear King!"

However, what followed was a deep sense of fear.

If a ferocious beast with 300,000 years of cultivation is only ranked 15th, then what kind of strength do the top ten, top three, or even number one have?

Starry Sky Forest, Lake of Life.

Gu Yuena gazed at the snow-white giant bear on the light screen, a hint of doubt flashing in her clear, cold eyes, and asked softly.

"The Ice Bear King? 285,000 years old? Di Tian, ​​do you remember this soul beast?"

Di Tian stepped forward, his brows furrowed, his gaze fixed intently on the light screen, and said in a deep voice.

“My lord, I visited the far north 50,000 years ago and saw this ice bear.”

His thoughts drifted back to the far northern wilderness of that year. "Back then, it only had 230,000 years of cultivation. It was a capable general under the command of the two ice and snow emperors of the far north. It seemed simple and honest, but in reality, it had amazing combat power. It controlled the ultimate ice, and even the Titan Snow Demon King was unwilling to easily become its enemy."

"Oh."

Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow slightly and simply said "oh," after all, it was less than 300,000 years old and not worth her attention.

Her fingertips traced the water in the lake beside her, creating ripples. "My lord," Di Tian said solemnly, "the far north already has the two Ice and Snow Emperors guarding it, and now with the addition of this newly ascended 285,000-year-old Ice Bear King, its strength is already considerable. Is it possible to win them over?"

"No rush. Once I reach the top of the list, the far north will naturally submit."

Tianxing Academy.

Shui Bing'er stared at the soul beasts listed on the screen, her pretty face filled with shock and nostalgia. She suddenly turned to look at Li Tianyi beside her, her voice trembling slightly.

"Teacher! It's it! It's the giant bear we encountered in the far north all those years ago!"

Li Tianyi nodded slightly, a faint smile in his eyes: "I didn't expect you to remember."

Shui Bing'er nodded vigorously, her thoughts instantly returning to a few years ago.

At that time, she had just broken through to the Soul Master level and urgently needed a powerful fourth Soul Ring, so her teacher personally accompanied her to the far north.

On a frozen wasteland, they encountered a white bear spirit beast as huge as a mountain.

Upon seeing them, Xiao Bai immediately unleashed the oppressive power of extreme ice, attempting to drive them away. However, Li Tianyi casually unleashed a golden pressure that rendered Xiao Bai unable to move. Xiao Bai could only lie on the ground, pitifully gazing at the two with its large, pale blue eyes.

"Teacher, it looks so pitiful, let's let it go."

Her soft-heartedness at the time left a deep impression on her regarding this giant bear.

Li Tianyi chuckled and spared the ice bear. Little White felt as if he had been granted a pardon and scrambled into the depths of the ice field.

"So it was the Ice Bear King,"

Shui Bing'er murmured, her eyes filled with amazement, "I never expected that in just a few years, it would grow to the level of 285,000 years and even climb to the fifteenth place on the Soul Beast Ranking."

Li Tianyi gazed at the light screen and said calmly, "The extreme environment of the far north is inherently conducive to the growth of ice and snow soul beasts. Moreover, it is a junior valued by the two ice and snow emperors, receiving preferential treatment in resources, so its growth rate is naturally astonishing. However, it is not good enough for now."

Li Tianyi stared at the light screen, then suddenly changed the subject, his gaze falling on Shui Bing'er. His tone was calm but carried an undeniable power: "Bing'er, you are now level 70, and your seventh soul ring is of utmost importance."

"This Ice Bear King controls the ultimate ice, which perfectly matches your martial soul attribute. Moreover, it is already 360,000 years old. If you can use it as your seventh soul ring, it will not only allow you to break through to the Soul Douluo level directly, but also make the power of your ultimate ice reach another level."

He paused, then continued, "How about I take you to the far north now, capture it, and make it your seventh spirit ring?"

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er trembled, a hint of struggle flashing in her eyes, but it quickly turned into determination.

She took a deep breath and bowed respectfully to Li Tianyi: "This disciple...is willing!"

She raised her head, her eyes shining with determination: "Teacher, I know this is cruel, but in order to become stronger, and to live up to your expectations, I am willing to do it."

"Moreover, the Ice Bear King's ultimate ice is the best aid for my breakthrough!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of approval flashed in Li Tianyi's eyes, and he gently patted her shoulder.

"Good! As expected of my disciple, Li Tianyi! Since you've made your decision, let's set off now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Tianyi raised his hand and waved it, and a golden light enveloped Shui Bing'er's body.

The next second, the two figures disappeared under the pavilion, and the next moment they arrived in the far north.

The far north.

When the information about the Ice Bear King appeared on the screen, the entire far north was in an uproar!
Countless ice and snow spirit beasts roared to the sky, shaking the snow on the ice plains so that it fell in a flurry, and cheers rose and fell.

Inside the Ice Emperor Palace, the two Ice and Snow Emperors, Titan Snow Demon King, and Ice Bear King Xiaobai stood side by side, gazing at the light curtain in the sky, their faces beaming with joy.
