Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 145 Divine Wind Valley

Ye Liangchen successfully created the Frostfire Palm technique. The next step is to continue practicing so that his sword spirit can also use the power of ice and fire, striving to reach the point where he can do it at will.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

"Ten Thousand Plum Blossoms Welcoming the Wind"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Half a month later, in a small valley on the outskirts of Tianshui Academy, as Ye Liangchen swung his sword, thousands of snowflakes like plum blossoms drifted out, filling the space within a radius of several hundred meters with snowflakes. Instantly, the temperature of the entire valley dropped sharply, and soon, ice blocks were everywhere.

"Click...click..."

Some tree branches were broken by the ice, making a crackling sound.

"Swish..."

"Blazing Sky Slaughter"

Ye Liangchen quickly mobilized the power of fire element, and with a single swing of his sword, a raging fire erupted, melting the ice blocks in the small valley in just a few moments.

"Xiao Chen, that's really powerful!"

These past few days, Ye Cailan has been learning the Frost and Fire Palm technique with Ye Liangchen. Now she can also unleash two different powers, but she's not very proficient yet, unlike Ye Liangchen, who has a cheat code.

"You little rascal, your skill is pretty impressive!"

At this moment, Shui Lanxin, accompanied by a group of maids, stood outside the valley and was overjoyed to see Ye Liangchen's ice and fire skills.

Everyone was surprised that this little guy could master ice and fire skills so quickly; it was simply amazing.

"What do you guys think of the power of my two ice and fire skills?"

Ye Liangchen just thought it looked cool, and its power should be alright too.

"You brat, let me test the power of your new skill!"

"Chirp chirp..."

Shui Lanxin released her martial spirit and spirit rings, intending to experience the little guy's new skills.

"Alright, Aunt Lan."

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Ye Liangchen controlled the power of extreme cold, merging it with the martial spirit of the Chun Jun Sword. The long sword danced rapidly in his hand, creating plum blossom-like patterns. Wherever the sword wind passed, the moisture in the air immediately froze into ice.

"Ten Thousand Plum Blossoms Welcoming the Wind"

As the final move of the Wanmei Yingfeng Sword Technique was executed, snowflakes fell all over Shui Lanxin, instantly freezing her into an icicle.

"Click..."

Shui Lanxin sensed the extreme cold temperature and unleashed a powerful burst of soul power, shattering the ice block. Since she possessed the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, this icy power posed no threat to her.

"You brat, switch to fire element power." Shui Lanxin gestured for Ye Liangchen to switch powers.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Ye Liangchen swung his sword again, this time using the power of fire element.

"Blazing Sky Slaughter"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

In an instant, a raging fire engulfed Shui Lanxin.

"Dean!" Xue Wu and the others, who were in the distance, were startled when they saw Shui Lanxin surrounded by flames.

"Extreme Cold Storm"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Shui Lanxin felt the intense heat and had to use her fifth soul skill to create a flurry of snowflakes around her, forming gusts of tornadoes that extinguished the flames.

"Phew...! You brat, you're really something, you even forced me to use my fifth soul skill to put out the fire." Shui Lan felt the power of this extreme heat firsthand.

"Dean, how powerful is it?" Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, and the others immediately ran over and surrounded Shui Lanxin, asking her questions.

"The ice and fire elemental powers used by Xiao Chen are two extreme powers. With his current strength, even a Soul Emperor level expert might not be able to withstand the combined power of these two skills. Naturally, their power is immense."

"The names of the two skills, 'Ten Thousand Plum Blossoms Facing the Wind' and 'Blazing Flames Burning the Sky,' are also quite nice."

Shui Lanxin admired the little guy's creativity. He had just created the Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Flow a while ago, and now he had created ice and fire skills. He was truly a genius.

"I previously trained my body in the Ice and Fire Spring Pool with Xiaoqing and experienced the terror of those two extreme powers. Thanks to the support of those two energies, our physical bodies were able to absorb the ten-thousand-year soul ring very easily."

"At the beginning, Brother Chen made us take those Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Pills. Our skin was both cold and hot, it was so uncomfortable, I felt like I almost died."

Shui Bing'er and the kitten shared their experiences with the other sisters, describing the unforgettable sensation of being torn between ice and fire.

"Huff huff..."

At this moment, Ye Cailan mobilized the power of ice and fire elements within her body, and struck forward with both palms. In an instant, a ball of flame and a ball of cold air shot out three meters away.

"Sister Lan, you actually figured it out too?" Shui Bing'er was also very surprised that this woman could understand it so quickly.

"I haven't fully grasped it yet, and I'm not proficient enough. Its power is incomparable to what Xiao Chen used." Ye Cailan shook her head, lamenting that her comprehension ability was far inferior to her master's.

"Swish..."

At this moment, Ye Liangchen, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground meditating, unleashed a powerful burst of soul power.

"This guy's soul power level has broken through to level 53." Shui Lanxin felt very gratified as she sensed the soul power aura emanating from the little guy.

"Sisters, I suggest that you all go to the Ice and Fire Spring to temper your bodies. Although it will be very painful at first, after more than ten days, your physical bodies will undergo tremendous changes. In this way, your fifth soul rings may be able to absorb a 2-year limit."

Ye Liangchen explained to the women the benefits of the Ice and Fire Body Refinement, which would greatly help them absorb super-limited soul rings in the future.

"Is there even a question? We definitely have to go and enjoy it! Little Chen, you have to help us out and let us experience the feeling of being in both ice and fire!"

Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, Ye Lingling, and the others naturally didn't want to miss such an opportunity. They would be following this guy to conquer the world in the future, and how could they do it without strong strength?

"Girls, you've already become famous at the Five Elements Academy Exchange Tournament. When you're out and about, don't be too high-profile, and don't wear Tianshui Academy's uniform, lest some powerful forces have their eyes on you."

"Bluey, remember to protect everyone."

Shui Lanxin urged Ye Liangchen and his group to be careful, since those major sects often killed geniuses from other forces.

"Let's go! We'll go back and change into civilian clothes, then go to Tianshui City to buy some daily necessities."

Shui Bing'er called to her sisters to head towards Tianshui City. This trip was estimated to take a month, so they needed to buy more daily necessities.

"Aunt Lan, we're leaving now."

"Xiao Chen, go! Once you've refined the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Pill, if you have any left over, save two for us. Your Aunt Yue and I will try it out later. There's too much work to do in Tianshui City right now, so we can't leave for too long. Senior Dugu mentioned that the assassins sent by Emperor Xueye have been looking for your disguise. We need to deal with them secretly."

"Aunt Lan, I will refine the elixir for you."

After waving goodbye to Shui Lanxin, Ye Liangchen headed towards Tianshui City with Shui Bing'er and the others.

……

In Tianshui City, Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu, and others were puzzled by Shui Bing'er's suggestion that they buy more bikini sets.

"Sis, we're not going to the beach for a vacation, why are we buying so many bikinis?" Shuiyue asked curiously.

"Bing'er, you're not planning to play some kind of game with Xiao Chen in front of your sisters, are you?"

Xuewu had heard from the kitten that Shui Bing'er and that little guy showed affection in front of the kitten every day, which made her extremely envious.

"Pfft...! You don't know, once you enter the Ice and Fire Spring, the extreme cold and heat will tear your clothes to shreds. If you don't buy more clothes, you won't have any to wear later."

The kitten couldn't help but laugh when it recalled the scene of taking a bath with Ye Liangchen, so it quickly whispered an explanation to Xuewu and the others.

"Wow! That's so exciting, so awesome!" Xue Wu was very excited just thinking about the explosive scene.

"Haha...! Xuewu, something's really wrong with you!"

"Yanzi, don't you want to experience something this exciting?"

"Of course I want to! Bing'er, I never knew you were so clever..."

"Alright, that's enough, let's go buy things!"

Shui Bing'er and her sister, Xue Wu, Yu Hairou and others discussed the matter of ice and fire body tempering, and occasionally glanced at Ye Liangchen and Ye Cailan who were buying cooking utensils in the distance, thinking that this trip to Sunset Forest would be very interesting.

After buying their things, Ye Liangchen and his group headed directly towards Shenfeng City. They all disguised themselves as ordinary people and did not encounter any trouble along the way.

……

A few days later, the group arrived at a small valley on the outskirts of Shenfeng City, where they were resting and eating something to replenish their strength.

"Swish..."

Just then, a figure sped away into the distance a kilometer ahead.

"Xiao Chen, that person looks like Feng Xiaotian." Ye Cailan had sharp eyes and immediately recognized the insignia on Feng Xiaotian's clothing.

"I remember my mother saying that there are many Wind Valleys outside Shenfeng City, which are places specifically used by the city's Soul Masters for training. They are essentially simulated training environments. Feng Xiaotian must have gone to the Wind Valleys to train..."

Shui Bing'er slowly explained the characteristics of the major elemental cities to everyone. Tianshui City naturally has more rivers and lakes, Chihuo City has earth fire, Shenfeng City has wind valley, and Leiting City has thunder spirit valley. These are all characteristics of the major elemental cities.

"Wind Valley? I'll go check it out. You guys wait for me here."

"Swish..."

Ye Liangchen used his mind to activate the external soul bone Wind and Thunder Wings, and flew directly in the direction where Feng Xiaotian disappeared.

"I'll go with you and take a look."

Ye Cailan also activated her torso soul bone skill, summoning a pair of huge wings, and chased after Ye Liangchen.

"Xiao Chen and Sister Lan are moving way too fast!"

"We can't even keep up with their speed."

Shui Bing'er and the others watched as the two disappeared in the blink of an eye, lamenting their own weakness.

"Swish..."

"Sister Lan, what brings you here?"

Ye Liangchen, who was flying several hundred meters in the air, saw Ye Cailan catch up with him and thought to himself that this woman really stayed by his side every step of the way.

"Of course I'm worried about leaving you alone!"

"Xiao Chen, look! That should be Wind Valley. Feng Xiaotian is struggling to climb up against the strong wind. I never thought that their simulated cultivation environment would be so windy."

"As expected of Wind Valley, the wind is incredibly strong."

Ye Liangchen looked in the direction Ye Cailan pointed and indeed saw a valley between two high mountains. The wind was howling all day long, and a slope stretched from the mouth of the valley all the way to the bottom, below which was a cliff.

At this moment, Feng Xiaotian was like a climber, striving to climb upwards.

"Swish..."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Ye Liangchen sped up and flew to the mountain pass of Wind Valley. In an instant, the biting cold wind blew against his body, causing a slight pain. The wind force was estimated to be around level 10.

"Ah! Xiao Chen, the wind is so strong, it almost blew me away."

Ye Cailan felt lightheaded and quickly grabbed Ye Liangchen's arm to use his weight to resist the wind.

"Sister Lan, you're a Title Douluo, are you afraid of being blown away by the wind?" Ye Liangchen couldn't help but tease the woman when he saw her pretending to be weak.

"Xiao Chen, don't say it out loud! Even though I'm a Title Douluo, I'm still a weak woman!"

Seeing that the little guy had seen through her little trick and could no longer pretend, Ye Cailan gave him a charmingly disdainful look.

"Brother Ye, what brings you here?"

A short while later, Feng Xiaotian climbed to the mouth of the valley and was shocked to see Ye Liangchen and a stunningly beautiful woman looking at him.

"Brother Feng, is this your simulated cultivation environment?" Ye Liangchen greeted Feng Xiaotian.

"Brother Ye, our Divine Wind City is named after these Wind Valleys. This is just one of them. There are dozens of Wind Valleys of all sizes like this one. I chose to cultivate in this Wind Valley because it has the strongest winds and is also known as the Divine Wind Valley."

"We cultivate in these wind valleys by harnessing the power of the wind element. These wind valleys are all naturally formed, and they have been like this for many years, with the strong winds never ceasing."

"What you said earlier woke me up. I've wasted too much precious time. Now I need to step up my efforts."

Feng Xiaotian didn't hide anything and directly introduced some information about Shenfeng Valley to Ye Liangchen.

"Brother Feng, you really need to work harder now. Leveling from 40 to 50 is a hurdle. It took me about two months to break through that barrier."

"Brother Ye, you're already a Soul King?"

"Yes! Brother Feng, you need to work harder. With your talent, you should at least become a Title Douluo!"

"Thank you for reminding me, Brother Ye. I really wasted my time cultivating myself."

"Brother Wind, I'd also like to experience the power of the wind element. You don't mind, do you?"

"Brother Ye, this Wind Valley is a natural formation, not our private property. Feel free to use it."

"Sister Lan, let's go! Let's experience what it's like to feel the strong wind."

"OK!"

Ye Cailan grabbed Ye Liangchen's hand and followed Feng Xiaotian, running down the slope to the bottom of the valley.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

"Wow! The wind in the valley is so strong!"

Upon reaching the bottom of the valley, Ye Liangchen estimated that the wind force was over level 10.

"Brother Ye, be careful. There's a sheer cliff outside the valley. If you're not heavy enough, you'll be blown away by the wind," Feng Xiaotian reminded Ye Liangchen.

"Brother Feng, it's alright."

"Let's go! Let's charge in."

Ye Liangchen's current weight is about 150 pounds, which he can barely hold on to, but he still feels a bit lightheaded, as if he might fly away at any moment. So he focused his energy in his dantian, strengthened his feet, and walked upwards against the strong wind.

Ye Cailan clung tightly to Ye Liangchen's arm, as if afraid he would be blown away by the strong wind.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

At first, Ye Liangchen felt his steps were light and unsteady, but as he gradually adapted, his feet felt like they were rooted to the ground, and he walked uphill as if on flat ground.

"Buzzing..."

As Ye Liangchen walked, he circulated the Hunyuan Technique, comprehending the power of the wind element.

"What kind of monster is this? He can actually comprehend the power of wind elements while walking."

Feng Xiaotian was astonished as he watched Ye Liangchen stroll leisurely, his body radiating golden soul power. How did this guy manage to do that? He himself weighed over 170 pounds and could barely withstand the powerful wind.

"Brother Ye, how did you adapt so quickly?"

A dozen minutes later, the three arrived at the mouth of the valley, and Feng Xiaotian asked curiously.

"By focusing my energy in my dantian, I channeled some of my power into my feet. This made my feet feel like they were rooted to the ground, allowing me to withstand the strong winds," Ye Liangchen explained his secret to Feng Xiaotian.

"Is that even possible? Brother Ye, I've learned a lot today."

Feng Xiaotian usually relies on his own weight to withstand the strong winds, but seeing Ye Liangchen do this is truly eye-opening.

"Brother Feng, please continue."

Ye Liangchen rushed down into the valley again, and then walked up against the strong wind, comprehending the power of the wind element as he went. He continued like this for an hour.
