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

Chapter 19 That guy is a simp

The first meeting with Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, went relatively smoothly.

Xiao Han demonstrated his strength and potential in front of Qian Renxue, proving that he is a promising young man.

He believed that Qian Renxue would help him obtain the "Illustrated Compendium of Immortal Herbs," not only because of him, but also because she wanted to win over the Tianshui Academy.

Of course, what Xiao Han wanted was not just to obtain the "Illustrated Compendium of Immortal Herbs".

He wanted to get to know Qian Renxue better so he could learn more about Dugu Bo from her.

As long as Dugu Bo is still in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Xiao Han will not be able to enter.

Only when he is away will there be a chance to pick the magical herbs there.

This matter needs to be completed within the next three years, and Xiao Han doesn't have much time left.

~~~~~

After leaving the palace, Xiao Han told Lin Zhiruo about his conversation with Xue Qinghe, and Lin Zhiruo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Han, I never expected His Highness the Crown Prince to be willing to help you. However, that book you mentioned is in the Spirit Hall; can he really get it for you?"

"I believe he can do it."

It is not convenient for Xiao Han to tell Lin Zhiruo Xue Qinghe's true identity right now.

Lin Zhiruo reminded her:

"Xiao Han, even if he really helps you get that book, don't get obsessed with studying it or searching for those immortal herbs. There are only four years left until the Soul Master Competition, so cultivation should be your top priority."

"Mom, I know what I'm doing. Immortal herbs aren't that easy to find. They're incredibly nourishing, much better than whale glue. For young Soul Masters like us, if we can consume the right immortal herbs, our cultivation speed will increase exponentially."

"Is it really as amazing as you say?"

"Of course."

Lin Zhiruo seemed to realize something, and said with a serious expression:

"You brat, I'm warning you, don't keep thinking about what's in Dugu Bo's poison array. Even if there are some rare and precious herbs in there, they're not for you to covet. That's Dugu Bo's territory. We barely escaped last time; you can't risk it again."

"Mom, you're overthinking it. Why would I risk my life?"

"I know you too well! Anyway, don't even think about it."

"Okay. I'll do as you say."

Xiao Han didn't want Lin Zhiruo to worry, but he absolutely had to go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and get the immortal herb.

However, this plan can only be implemented under absolutely safe conditions.

a few days later.

Xiao Han returned to Tianshui Academy and told Shui Bing'er about how he hunted the Frost Swifts in the Frozen Forest and gained the ability to fly.

Shui Bing'er was both surprised and delighted.

"Xiao Han, you've actually gained the ability to fly! That's wonderful!"

"Yes, from now on I'll be able to soar freely through the air like you. By the way, do you feel like you're about to break through level 30?"

"Not yet. But even if I break through to level 30, I probably won't go to the Frozen Forest to hunt soul beasts right away."

Xiao Han was somewhat puzzled.

Why?

"I want to wait for Xuewu. We made a promise to go to the Frozen Forest together after we both break through level 30. While you were away, she has already broken through to level 29."

"I see, that's good. It seems you two get along very well."

"Um."

Xiao Han thought of Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's martial soul fusion technique.

The Martial Soul Fusion Skill requires a mutual understanding and harmony between the Martial Soul and the Mind.

They didn't enter Tianshui Academy together, but after forming a new team, they quickly developed a good friendship.

Xue Wu now has two soul skills.

The first soul skill is Dark Cloud, which can control the weather and bring a dark cloud.

The second soul skill is Rainfall, which requires dark clouds in the sky to activate. This soul skill brings large raindrops that turn into a large curtain of water to drench the opponent.

Snow Dance's first two soul skills don't have much attack power, but they can provide water element support for teammates.

Xiao Han knew that what could truly enhance Xue Wu and the entire team was her upcoming third soul skill—Ice and Snow.

When Xue Wu activates that soul skill, a large amount of ice and snow will be generated in the sky. The temperature within the area covered by the soul skill will drop significantly, which can weaken the opponent's combat power and continuously consume the opponent's soul power.

Xue Wu was able to join forces with Shui Bing'er to unleash the Martial Soul Fusion Skill – Snowflakes Falling – thanks to this Soul Skill.

"Bing'er, you and Xue Wu are such good friends, have you ever thought about teaming up with her to use a Martial Soul Fusion Technique?"

"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

"Hmm. Xue Wu is a support-type Soul Master, while you possess the top-tier Beast Soul, the Ice Phoenix. As long as the two of you are in sync, you will surely be able to unleash unimaginable fusion power."

Shui Bing'er smiled gently, quite interested in Xiao Han's suggestion.

"Your idea is very good. We'll study it more carefully after we both break through level 30."

"Yes, I believe you two can succeed. I'll go with you to the Frozen Forest to hunt soul beasts."

"it is good."

As the two were talking, several other girls from the team walked over.

Yu Hairou said:

"Xiao Han, we heard from Dean Lin that your third soul skill has given you the ability to fly. That's really great."

Gu Qingbo echoed:

"Yes, Xiaohan is getting better and better. We were worried that she would become our rival."

"Now that Xiaohan and Bing'er in our team both have the ability to fly, we won't be too passive when facing Thunder and Divine Wind Academy."

The power behind Thunder Academy is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, whose team is led by a captain who possesses the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, as a top-tier beast spirit, is known for its ferocious attack power and is also accompanied by powerful lightning attacks.

Lightning has a natural restraining effect on ice and water elements.

Therefore, in previous Soul Master Competitions, Tianshui Academy had repeatedly lost to Thunder Academy.

Thunder Academy seemed to have become a persistent nightmare in their hearts.

Besides Thunder Academy, Divine Wind Academy also firmly suppresses Heavenly Water Academy.

The entire Shenfeng Academy is staffed with wind-type soul masters. They are known for their astonishing speed, and most of their members possess the ability to fly, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

This year's team from Tianshui Academy has two Soul Masters with the ability to fly, which may change their previous disadvantage.

Therefore, everyone has high hopes for Shui Bing'er and Xiao Han.

Shui Bing'er said:

"I heard Dean Zhao mention that Feng Xiaotian, the captain of the Shenfeng Academy team, is also a Soul Master with innate full Soul Power. He should be nineteen years old this year, and his strength is considerable. Strangely, he didn't participate in the last Soul Master Competition, and I don't know why."

"Feng Xiaotian?"

Xiao Han grinned.

"That guy is a simp. He deliberately held back his level for the girl he liked, and he's even researching some self-created soul skill."

"A self-created soul skill? Anyone who can research and create a self-created soul skill is definitely not an ordinary person."

"Yes, I heard he's already figured it out, it's called something like 'Swift Wind Demon Wolf Combo Slash'. That move is indeed powerful, most people can't withstand it. If we want to defeat him, we need to find a way to counter it."
