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

Chapter 24 Opportunities to Make Money

Three hours later, Xue Wu awoke from absorbing the soul ring.

She was surrounded by a faint icy blue mist, the energy fluctuations from her newly acquired millennium soul ring.

"Snow Dance, how are you feeling?"

Shui Bing'er immediately inquired with concern, her face beaming with joy for her friend.

Xue Wu smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling with joy.

"It feels amazing. I'm about the same as you. My soul power has increased by almost two levels, and my strength seems to have crossed a completely new realm."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiruo's eyes were filled with relief:

"Very good, it seems this choice was very appropriate. What kind of soul skill did you obtain?"

"This soul skill is what I've always dreamed of; it can control the weather and bring ice and snow."

After Xue Wu finished speaking, her soul power began to gather around her.

As she danced gracefully, the once calm sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, followed by a flurry of ice crystal snowflakes falling from the sky.

The falling snowflakes, each one carrying a biting chill.

The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and even the air seemed to freeze.

"This is my third soul skill—Ice and Snow."

Xuewu explained:

"Once this soul skill is activated, it cannot be stopped. It will continuously deplete the opponent's soul power, forcing the opponent to continuously cover their body with soul power to resist the cold."

A hint of approval flashed in Xiao Han's eyes.

Xue Wu's soul skill was just as he had imagined.

This kind of soul skill, which can continuously deplete the opponent's soul power, is undoubtedly a powerful force in team battles.

With the ability to control ice and snow, Xue Wu can join forces with Shui Bing'er to complete the Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

Afterwards, the group of four left the Frozen Forest.

On the way back to Tianshui City, Shui Bing'er successfully broke through the level 32 barrier.

Not long after returning to the academy, Xue Wu also broke through to level thirty-two.

After obtaining the "Illustrated Compendium of Immortal Herbs," Xiao Han devoted a lot of energy to studying it, which had some impact on his cultivation.

After learning all the knowledge about the immortal herbs, Xiao Han devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.

Three months later, his soul power increased by another level, reaching level thirty-four.

At this moment, another member of the team, Yu Hairou, also broke through to level 30.

Yu Hairou is the oldest member of the team, three years older than Xiao Han.

Her martial soul is the Coral Barracuda, and there are many suitable soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, so she doesn't need to go to the Frozen Forest.

That day, Lin Zhiruo gathered the eight members of her team together.

"Kids, our team has been together for almost a year now. Although you've trained together many times, you haven't experienced a real team battle yet. Xiaohan, Bing'er, and Xuewu have teamed up to hunt soul beasts in the Frozen Forest, and their coordination was fairly good. But we are a whole, and we need to cooperate with everyone in the team. Next, I will take you to participate in more real battles to improve your teamwork and combat experience."

Everyone was very excited when they heard the news.

"Great, we can finally participate in real combat together."

Lin Zhiruo continued:

"There are many ways to take you into real combat, such as challenging other teams in the Soul Arena as a team, exchanging skills and exchanging techniques with teams from other academies, and hunting soul beasts together. Your opportunity to be tested has arrived. We are about to head to the Star Dou Great Forest to find a suitable thousand-year-old soul beast for Hai Rou to use as her third soul ring. This time, from finding the soul beast to hunting it, you will be responsible for everything. Understand?"

"clear."

"Alright, you can all go back and prepare. We'll set off tomorrow."

"it is good."

Everyone is looking forward to the upcoming trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.

After the others left, Lin Zhiruo kept Xiao Han alone.

"Xiao Han, when you go to the Star Dou Great Forest, try not to stand out too much."

Xiao Han joked:

"Mom, what do you mean? Are you treating me differently just because I'm a substitute?"

"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting! With your current strength, you could hunt down a thousand-year-old soul beast all by yourself. Leave the opportunity to them."

"Okay, I understand. But, can I use my skills to help find the soul beasts?"

"Can."

Xiao Han chuckled.

"Mom, after we hunt the spirit beasts, are we going back to the academy or to the Spirit Arena?"

"Let's go to the Soul Arena and show you what it's like."

"Great! Maybe we can make a fortune in the Soul Arena."

Lin Zhiruo frowned.

"What?! Make a fortune?! What are you thinking?"

"Mom, I heard you can place bets in the Soul Arena. I spent a lot of your money on whale glue, and I want to earn some back to pay you back."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I took you there to improve your combat experience, don't think about that kind of nonsense. Go back and pack your things!"

"Mom, I'm all grown up now, and I can make my own decisions about some things."

"You little rascal, getting a beating already?"

Lin Zhiruo kicked out, but Xiao Han dodged to the side and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

The next day, Xiao Han and his group of ten set off for the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Star Dou Great Forest is home to many soul beasts.

For the children's safety, Lin Zhiruo brought a teacher along.

The teacher's name was Liu Yan, and her soul power had reached level sixty-two.

Half a month later, the group of ten arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.

Lin Zhiruo said:

"Children, from now on, you will have to find and hunt spirit beasts on your own."

As the team captain, Shui Bing'er stepped forward to respond:

"Dean Lin, don't worry, we will definitely complete the mission."

"Yes, I believe in you. Let's go."

The group ventured deeper into the forest.

This was Xiao Han's first time visiting the Star Dou Great Forest.

Not only him, but Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er had never been here before either.

Shui Yue'er's martial soul is the Jade Dolphin. Ice and water attribute soul beasts are suitable for her, and cold attribute soul beasts can enhance her attack power. Therefore, she obtained her first two soul rings in the Frozen Forest.

The Starry Sky Forest is completely different from the tranquil and cold Ice Forest; it displays a primitive and magnificent vitality.

Sunlight filters through the dense canopy of trees, casting dappled patterns on the ground.

The air was filled with the fresh scent of earth and flowers, occasionally mingled with the low growls of unknown beasts in the distance.

The trees here grow exceptionally tall, their trunks covered with moss and vines, showing the marks of time.

The forest path meanders and twists, covered with fallen leaves and dead branches.

Even within this harmony, various crises are lurking.

As the group ventured deeper into the area, the surrounding sounds gradually became richer.

Occasionally, enormous soul beasts would sweep through the bushes, their eyes flashing with wildness and vigilance, maintaining a high level of alertness towards these uninvited guests.

Xiao Han looked around and sensed the fluctuations of soul power permeating the air.

The other members of the team were also on high alert, ready to deal with any potential dangers.

Lin Zhiruo and Liu Yan walked on either side of the group, providing necessary safety for these young students.

As they were walking, Xiao Han suddenly said to his teammates:

"This forest is too big; searching like this isn't going to work. I'll fly up and see if there are any rivers or lakes."

"Okay, then be careful."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

After Xiao Han finished speaking, he released his icy wings, soared into the sky, and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
