Douluo Continent: I am the Ice Archer, my ice power is invincible.

Chapter 15 The Third Soul Ring

In the college, one must keep public and private matters separate.

Xiao Han adapted quickly, which pleased Lin Zhiruo. She then continued:

"As you can see, our team members are different this year than in previous years. We have confirmed a substitute in advance, and that is Xiao Han."

Shui Bing'er smiled and said:

"With Xiaohan's ability, it's really a waste for him to be a substitute."

"yes."

Shuiyue'er agreed as well.

Lin Zhiruo interrupted them, glanced at Xiao Han, and joked:

"You don't need to pity him. It's already good enough that he can stay in our girls' college."

Xiao Han chuckled.

"I'm not upset at all. I'm already happy to be teammates with my sisters. I don't care about being a starter or a substitute. Even as a substitute, I'll be your strongest support."

Everyone laughed after hearing Xiao Han's words.

Lin Zhiruo continued:

"Some of you have already trained together and developed some chemistry. But there are a few of you from different classes who don't know each other yet. So, please introduce yourselves first."

"it is good."

As the oldest member of the team, Yu Hairou was the first to step forward and introduce herself:

"Hello everyone, I am Yu Hairou, my martial soul is Coral Barracuda, and I am a level 26 offensive type battle soul master."

Gu Qingbo was the second to go on stage.

"Hello everyone, I am Gu Qingbo, my martial soul is Azure Sailfish, and I am a level 24 agility-attack type battle soul master."

Next up is Snow Dance.

"Hello everyone, I am Xue Wu, my martial soul is Xue Wu, and I am a level 27 support-type battle soul master."

Xue Wu has long black hair and fair skin, and looks quiet and composed.

She is one year older than Shui Bing'er.

Although he had been in the academy for five years, Xiao Han rarely saw her.

Support-type Soul Masters face greater difficulties in cultivation than ordinary Soul Masters.

Xiao Han guessed that Xue Wu must have worked very hard in her cultivation, otherwise she wouldn't have become one of the best among her peers.

He also knew that Xue Wu not only had the ability to change the weather, but would also be able to join forces with Shui Bing'er in the future to unleash a powerful martial soul fusion skill – Snowfall.

Another quiet girl came on stage.

"Hello everyone, I am Shen Liuyu, my martial soul is the Falcon Crocodile, and I am a level 23 power attack type battle soul master."

Shen Liuyu has short, light blue hair with bangs, and looks very well-behaved.

The next girl to appear was tall with long, icy blue hair styled high, and a few wisps of hair casually framing her face, giving her a neat and tidy look.

"Hello everyone, I am Qiu Ruoshui, my martial soul is Jade Lotus Smoked Perch, and I am a level 23 offensive type battle soul master."

Shui Bing'er then stepped forward.

"Hello everyone, I am Shui Bing'er, my martial soul is the Ice Phoenix, and I am a level 28 control-type battle soul master."

Shuiyue followed closely behind.

"Hello everyone, I am Shui Yue'er, my martial soul is the Jade Dolphin, and I am a level 22 agility-attack type battle soul master."

After all the girls had finished introducing themselves, Xiao Han naturally became the last one.

Everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Han without prior arrangement.

As the only male student at Tianshui College and the "little security guard" in front of the girls' dormitory, Xiao Han was already used to the girls staring at him directly.

He calmly stepped forward and introduced himself:

"Hello, senior sisters. My name is Xiao Han. My martial soul is the Ice-Piercing Bow and Arrow. I am a level 29 offensive-type battle soul master."

Only Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er in the team knew that Xiao Han's soul power had reached level 29.

The other girls were all surprised.

All they knew was that Xiao Han possessed innate full soul power, and his second soul ring had reached the thousand-year level.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Han, the youngest among them, possessed the highest level.

Lin Zhiruo's gaze swept over the group of people, finally settling on Shui Bing'er.

"Our Tianshui Academy team has always let strength speak for itself. Although Bing'er is young, she has a calm personality, can consider the overall situation, and is the strongest among your seven main players. She is the only choice for captain. Bing'er, you will be the captain from now on."

All eyes turned to Shui Bing'er.

Shui Bing'er glanced at Xiao Han; his prediction from two years ago had come true.

"Dean Lin, I will shoulder the responsibility of the team leader and work hard with everyone to strive for better results."

"Very good. Xuewu, you will be the vice-captain and assist Bing'er."

"it is good."

Lin Zhiruo nodded in satisfaction.

"Next, I will provide you with systematic training to cultivate your teamwork. Afterward, I will take you to participate in actual combat to accumulate combat experience. From this moment on, you are a whole unit, and you must help each other and grow together."

"clear."

Afterwards, Lin Zhiruo led everyone to begin training.

Three or four months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past few months, everyone has trained together every day, their teamwork has improved, and their skills have also increased significantly.

That day, after Xiao Han finished his cultivation, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Finally, I've broken through level 30. However, I probably won't be able to take Bing'er to the Frozen Forest this time."

Just a few days ago, Shui Bing'er successfully broke through to level 29.

Based on Shui Bing'er's cultivation progress, it may take her more than four months to break through to level 30.

Now that Lin Zhiruo is the team's coach, she doesn't have that much time and energy to spend in the Frozen Forest.

Before leaving, Xiao Han came to find Shui Bing'er.

"Bing'er, I'm going to the Frozen Forest. You accompanied me on the first two hunts of soul beasts, and I'm not used to it without you this time."

"I'd like to go with you, but I've only just broken through to level 29, and I can't take up Dean Lin's time."

"Then let's go next time. I'll go with you then."

"it is good."

After saying goodbye to Shui Bing'er, Xiao Han and Lin Zhiruo headed to the far north.

The two rode at full speed and arrived at the Frozen Forest in less than half a month.

"Xiao Han, this time we'll try our best to find a suitable soul beast in the shortest time possible, and after helping you obtain your soul ring, we'll go back as soon as possible."

"Okay. Mom, my third spirit ring will take at least two thousand years to form."

"understood."

Although Xiao Han had consumed whale jelly, Lin Zhiruo would not allow him to take such a risk.

She believed that the third soul ring that Xiao Han was about to absorb had a lifespan of three thousand years, which was already the limit.

The two searched in the frozen forest for more than ten days but did not encounter a suitable soul beast.

They are either too young or too old, exceeding three thousand years.

Lin Zhiruo's goal was clear: she only wanted soul beasts with a cultivation level between two and three thousand years.

That day, as the two were walking, Lin Zhiruo suddenly stopped.

"Xiao Han, there's a soul beast."

"Where is it?"

"On that big tree."

Xiao Han followed Lin Zhiruo's gaze.

Just a hundred meters ahead, on a towering tree, stood several ice-blue birds.

"Mom, are those birds ice swifts?"

"Hmm. There are two with cultivation levels around three thousand years. We'll take one of them as your third spirit ring. They're extremely fast, and their attack power shouldn't be underestimated. We need to finish this quickly. You need to protect yourself."

As soon as Lin Zhiruo finished speaking, she shot out like a blue lightning bolt.

Friends, during this trial period, please come back and check back after tomorrow's update. Thank you!
