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

Chapter 4 The Cause of Parents' Death

Seeing Dean Zhao's resolute attitude, the bishop had no choice but to leave.

In fact, he was well aware that Tianshui Academy, which advocated the extreme style, could indeed provide better cultivation resources for ice and water-type soul masters.

the other side.

While Shui Bing'er and the others were resting, Xiao Han chatted with them.

"I may be leaving Tianshui City soon, and it will be even harder to see you all in the future."

"What a pity, if you were a girl, you could stay at the academy and keep us company."

Xiao Han looked down and said with a mischievous grin:

"Or, should we cut it up?"

"Ugh, what did you say? That's disgusting."

The girls blushed instantly.

Yu Hairou and Gu Qingbo poked Xiao Han's head hard with their fingers from both sides.

"What on earth is going on in your little head?"

Lin Zhiruo did not allow Xiao Han to enter Tianshui Academy at will, but Xiao Han would sneak in whenever he had the chance.

Yu Hairou was nine years old and Gu Qingbo was eight years old. They had known Xiao Han for a relatively long time, and although they hadn't met often, they had a good relationship.

As the group was joking around, Lin Zhiruo walked over.

"Hello, Dean Lin!"

Yu Hairou and Gu Qingbo immediately restrained themselves and stood obediently beside Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.

Lin Zhiruo looked at Shui Yue'er and smiled:

"From now on, you're also a member of our Tianshui Academy. You must cultivate diligently!"

"Yes, Dean Lin, I will try my best."

Lin Zhiruo nodded and turned her gaze to Xiao Han.

"Xiao Han, come with me."

Xiao Han glanced at the four girls in front of him with some reluctance.

Goodbye, sisters.

Goodbye, Xiaohan.

Yu Hairou and Gu Qingbo were also somewhat reluctant to part ways.

Watching Xiao Han's retreating figure, Shui Yue'er said:

"Sister, although this is the first time I've met Xiao Han, he seems quite interesting."

"Yeah, it's just a little inappropriate."

~~~~~~

Lin Zhiruo walked in front, with Xiao Han following closely behind.

"Mom, where are we going? Home?"

"Go to the dean's office."

"What are you doing?"

You'll see when you get there.

The two quickly arrived at Dean Zhao's office.

"Hello, Dean Zhao."

"Minor Cold has arrived."

Dean Zhao abandoned her usual imposing demeanor and looked like a kind old grandmother.

"Xiaohan, do you really want to stay and study at our academy?"

"Of course! Is that alright?"

Dean Zhao nodded.

"We've discussed accepting you, and ultimately decided to make an exception and keep you."

"Really?"

Xiao Han was somewhat excited. He turned around and glanced at Lin Zhiruo, who nodded at him.

"It's true, you brat, you got what you wanted."

"Yay! That's great! Mom, I can't bear to leave you."

Dean Zhao chuckled.

"Xiao Han, you'll be officially registered with our academy. If you get into the academy's team in the future, you can be a substitute."

"Absolutely no problem!"

Xiao Han knew that the academy did this to minimize the impact of admitting him, after all, he was a boy.

"Xiao Han, I'm telling you this in advance: after you come to the academy, you must cultivate diligently and can no longer be as mischievous as before. Otherwise, I will still send you away, and no one can save you."

"Okay, Mom. By the way, my soul power has reached level ten. Can I go hunt soul beasts now?"

"What's the rush? I'll take you there."

"Shui Bing'er's soul power has also broken through to level ten."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, she just broke through today."

Dean Zhao and Lin Zhiruo exchanged a smile, feeling deeply gratified.

"Bing'er is not only exceptionally talented, but also intelligent, studious, and has a calm personality. Her future achievements will certainly not be inferior to yours or mine."

"Yes, I think she's a good candidate too."

"Zhiruo, after you've arranged their enrollment, take them both to the Frozen Forest to hunt soul beasts."

"Okay, that's exactly what I was thinking too."

Xiao Han was really looking forward to his first spirit ring.

After dinner, Lin Zhiruo went to Xiao Han's room.

Starting tomorrow, Xiao Han will be living at the academy.

"Xiaohan, have you packed everything?"

"Yes, everything is packed."

"There are two things here that your parents left you. Now that you've become a Soul Master, you'll find them useful."

As Lin Zhiruo spoke, she handed the box in her hand to Xiao Han.

Xiao Han eagerly took it and opened it to read.

There were two things in that box.

It looks like a belt and exudes a faint chill.

The other item was a short sword, about thirty centimeters long, which also exuded a cold aura.

"Mom, is this a soul tool for storage?"

"Hmm. It's called 'Snowy Soul Silk.' It has a large storage capacity; it can even store living things. Give it a try."

"it is good."

Xiao Han tied the Snowfield Soul Satin around his waist, instantly feeling a cool sensation.

Then I took a few things in and out to test them.

"It works quite well."

After Xiao Han finished speaking, he casually picked up the short sword and drew it from its sheath.

The blade was as thin as ice crystal, and its dazzling cold light made him unable to open his eyes.

"This short sword is forged from ice marrow and cold iron, and is extremely sharp, capable of cutting through metal and stone."

"It really is a fine sword."

Lin Zhiruo nodded, her eyes slightly red.

Xiao Han joked:

"Mom, I'm going to live at school tomorrow. Are you worried about me leaving?"

"It's good that you're gone. I've had so much peace and quiet by myself."

"Then why are you crying?"

Lin Zhiruo sighed.

"These two items were originally intended as first birthday gifts by your parents, but unfortunately they..."

Xiao Han had no memory of his parents in this life; he only knew about them from Lin Zhiruo.

"Mom, I'm all grown up now, and I might even become a powerful Soul Master someday. Can you finally tell me how my parents died?"

Lin Zhiruo nodded.

"It's time to tell you. Your parents and their group of ten encountered an incredibly ferocious soul beast in the Frozen Forest. Apart from one agility-type soul master with the ability to fly who escaped, the other nine all perished in the beast's jaws."

"What kind of spirit beast was it?"

"According to the survivor, it was a giant tiger, completely black and over eight meters long. Although the spirit beast was huge, it was extremely fast. The man didn't have time to see its full appearance before it quickly fled the scene."
