Douluo Continent II: Senior Sister, Please Help Me Cultivate

Chapter 368: Lost... but got taken in (￣▽￣)

Golden flames rose from Chen Qiu'er's body, and she became like a golden dragon as she punched towards Xue Di's position.

But when she launched her attack, she discovered that the Snow Emperor had vanished without a trace, seemingly blending into the vast, icy world.

At this moment, Chen Qiu'er found herself in a world of heavy snow, and her expression became solemn.

Chen Qiu'er thought to herself, "It's actually a domain soul skill? It's really troublesome. No wonder Xue Ling'er is so arrogant. She has the right to be arrogant."

The power of domain soul skills is known to everyone in the world.

Whether or not one possesses a domain-specific soul skill makes a huge difference. Within a domain, the user is the master of that domain world.

Chen Qiu'er prided herself on her strong blood and qi, and her robust physique, so she didn't take ordinary cold for granted.

However, the Snow Emperor's Domain is definitely not included in this category. It is a domain of extreme ice, and not just any extreme ice.

The biting cold was so intense that even she couldn't help but shiver and immediately redirected her soul power to protect herself.

Moreover, the heavy snow obscured visibility, making it impossible to see the surrounding environment clearly. And most importantly, the snow could even affect mental perception, which was the most remarkable aspect.

It could be said that, amidst this vast expanse of snow, everyone except the user of the domain was rendered blind.

Chen Qiu'er gripped the Golden Dragon Spear tightly, holding it protectively in front of her. A golden dragon coiled and circled around her body, safeguarding her safety.

Chen Qiu'er closed her eyes, and immediately, a strange golden light emanated from her body.

As the owner of the Golden Dragon Martial Soul, Chen Qiu'er possesses three innate abilities.

Her first innate ability is called Golden Perception. Through this ability, Chen Qiu'er possesses a three-dimensional perception. Furthermore, it allows her to perceive things that ordinary people cannot, and she can deepen her understanding of what she perceives, possessing an extremely powerful learning ability.

The second innate ability is called Golden Pride. By harnessing the aura of the golden bloodline, one can temporarily control a single soul beast and maintain that control for a period of time without attacking it.

The third talent ability is rather useless; it records everything that happened after Chen Qiu'er fell into a coma.

Of these three innate abilities, the last one is rather lackluster, while the first two are extremely powerful, making them truly exceptional.

At this moment, Chen Qiu'er was using her innate ability, Golden Perception.

Although Golden Perception cannot break through Xue Di's domain, it can greatly enhance Chen Qiu'er's own judgment of danger. Once Xue Di launches a real attack, she can defend against it and launch a counterattack immediately.

In the training ground, snow was falling heavily. Besides Chen Qiu'er, Shen Tao, who was acting as the referee, was also affected by the snow's effects.

Looking at the heavy snow falling all around, Shen Tao was completely bewildered.

The referee can't even see the contestants anymore, what should he do?

If the trainees act recklessly and encounter danger, how can he, as the referee, provide assistance?

These two contestants are both exceptional geniuses. If anything goes wrong, he'll definitely be in big trouble.

If the sect leader messes up the disciple selection competition...

Just as Shen Tao was having a terrible headache, around the martial arts arena...

A group of inner court students, whose strength was insufficient and who only possessed the cultivation level of Soul King, trembled in fear, feeling as if the blood in their bodies was about to freeze.

Even at the very edge of the domain, it was still very difficult for them, given their cultivation level.

All the inner court students retreated a hundred meters before they felt much better.

The inner court teachers and elders in mid-air were all powerful individuals above the Soul Douluo level, possessing abundant soul power. Although the Snow Empress's domain was very cold, it was impossible for her to harm them with just the aftershocks.

An inner court teacher looked enviously at the snow falling all around and said, "It's actually a domain soul skill. This female student named Xue Ling'er is truly blessed. It seems that she is the one who will win this pavilion master selection competition."

An elder said irritably, "The owner of this Golden Dragon Martial Soul is no good. He's not even a match for the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul. Sigh, what a loss! My one million gold soul coins! That was my hard-earned savings!"

"Haha, I was right, this white-haired girl really did make it to the end," another elder said proudly.

"I don't think so. It's not over yet, and the outcome is still undecided. Besides, domain soul skills consume a lot of energy. If we can't defeat that blonde girl in a short time, then that white-haired girl will definitely lose."

"It's actually a domain skill that's blessed by nature, that's truly astonishing. You must know, even among us Title Douluo powerhouses, only a small number of people can possess domain soul skills."

"The younger generation is truly formidable! Recently, talented students have been emerging one after another. Has a great era truly arrived?" Some of the elders exclaimed, looking at the endless stream of geniuses that have appeared in the academy in recent years.

It lies in the sky above all the inner court teachers and elders.

Elder Xuan was startled when he looked down at the snow-covered training ground.

At his level of strength, he rarely uses his eyes to see; he mostly uses his mental power to perceive things.

But amidst the wind and snow, he couldn't sense anything at all; the blizzard seemed to have shielded his spiritual power (in the original story, Niu Tian's senses were blocked by Huo Yuhao's domain).

He was enjoying the show, but as his domain expanded, he suddenly lost his senses of the two young girls, Chen Qiu'er and Xue Ling'er, in the training ground. How could this not surprise him?

Elder Xuan exclaimed in shock, "This domain is of a very high level. It can actually shield my senses. It's truly unbelievable."

"You know, even those martial souls that are born with a domain, their domains aren't very strong before reaching the Soul Saint level. I never expected that another monstrous genius would emerge who defies common sense." After saying that, Elder Xuan looked at Chen Feng.

In fact, the domain soul skill "Di Hantian" is not a soul skill that Xue Di herself possesses, but rather a skill that Xue Di created herself.

Emperor Sword, Emperor Palm, and Emperor Frost Heaven—the Snow Emperor's Three Absolute Skills are all soul skills created by the Snow Emperor herself based on her understanding of ice and snow and her control over the origin of ice attributes. They are similar to Chen Feng's Soul-Breaking Blade Domain and Elder Mu's Dragon Emperor's Domain of Shaking.

Chen Feng thought to himself, "Xue'er's Emperor Frost Heaven is quite good. Not only is the temperature extremely low, but it can also shield perception. It's quite similar to my Soul-Breaking Blade Domain, but it's not as good at shielding perception as my Soul-Breaking Blade Domain."

Chen Feng looked at the scene within the domain and nodded secretly.

Although Xue Di's Di Hantian is very strong, it is naturally impossible for Xue Di to block Chen Feng's perception with her current strength.

Chen Feng not only mastered the ultimate ice technique like the Snow Emperor, but his spiritual power was also a whole realm higher than Elder Xuan's. His spiritual power, possessing both tangible form and substance, was far superior to Elder Xuan's spiritual power, which was merely tangible without substance.

That powerful mental perception meant that even the ice elements flying everywhere in the Snow Emperor's domain couldn't affect Chen Feng. At most, it would only make Chen Feng's mental perception more powerful, requiring him to expend more mental energy.

Furthermore, Chen Feng can also control ice elements. The combination of the two means that what is unfathomable to others is nothing special to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng watched the fierce battle between Xue Di and Chen Qiu'er within the domain. He knew it was time for him to step in. Shen Tao, that weakling, probably couldn't be a good referee for this match. If he didn't intervene soon, it wouldn't be good if Xue Di and Chen Qiu'er got injured.

...............

At this moment, in the training ground.

The Snow Emperor's figure was like a fairy in the snow, dancing with the ice and snow.

Within her domain, she seemed to transform back into the ruler of the far north, with all the ice and snow under her control.

Looking at Chen Qiu'er, who was being protected by the golden dragon, Xue Di waved her fair and slender jade hand. Instantly, the biting cold wind and snowflakes the size of goose feathers and as sharp as knives swept wildly towards Chen Qiu'er from the entire domain.

As a spirit of ice and snow, Xue Di is naturally extremely close to the ice element and can mobilize its power, making her the Queen of Ice.

In the snow-covered environment of her domain, her soul power recovery speed becomes very fast, although it cannot match the consumption of opening the domain.

However, it can also greatly increase the time she can open her domain, and at the same time, the power of her soul skills will be greatly enhanced.

It can be said that after using the domain, Xue Di's strength increased by one level, and the domain's enhancement to her was no less than that of her Martial Soul True Body.

Chen Qiu'er watched as the swirling snowflakes rushed towards her. Her brows furrowed instantly, and she let out a dragon's roar.

Her spear moved like a dragon, shattering the swirling snowflakes with a single strike. Some tiny snowflakes, unable to reach her, struck her dragon scales, clanging and ringing incessantly, leaving streaks of white on her magnificent golden scales.

The seemingly delicate snowflakes in the air are as sharp as blades in this extreme cold.

Although it wasn't enough to defeat Chen Qiu'er, it firmly restrained her, rendering her unable to move.

For a time, Chen Qiu'er could only defend passively and had no power to counterattack. However, relying on these snowflakes, it was naturally impossible to defeat Chen Qiu'er.

At this moment, in order to reduce the consumption of soul power, Chen Qiu'er deactivated her sixth soul skill, only maintaining her first and second soul skills, which consumed very little power.

Clearly, Chen Qiu'er planned to wait until Xue Di's soul power was exhausted and she was unable to use her domain before launching a counterattack.

As an imperial auspicious beast, Chen Qiu'er had lived in the Star Dou Great Forest for so long and had rich hunting experience. She was not a novice in combat and knew the principle of avoiding direct confrontation.

Within her domain, the Snow Empress merges with heaven and earth, and ice and snow are the tentacles of her perception.

After casually testing her skills a couple of times, Xue Di realized that her trivial tricks were ineffective against Chen Qiu'er, and she lost patience.

He immediately decided to use his true skills to quickly defeat Chen Qiu'er.

Xue Di appeared beside Chen Qiu'er in an instant, like a ghost.

Immediately afterwards, Xue Di stretched out her fair and slender hand and struck out with her palm.

As this palm strike was delivered, in an instant...

As if time and space had stood still, all the raging wind and snow suddenly stopped in an indescribable way, every snowflake froze in the air, and all the cold wind vanished in an instant.

Then, the frigid temperature of minus two hundred degrees Celsius in the training ground vanished without a trace. The temperature warmed up instantly, and the snowflakes turned into water droplets in a moment.

Clearly, the Snow Emperor had integrated the power of her domain into the Great Cold Without Snow in her Emperor Palm.

The power of a great cold spell with no snow, which gathers the power of the domain, is unimaginable.

This palm strike even froze the space around it for a moment.

The moment Xue Di struck out, Chen Qiu'er's Golden Perception alarm went off.

Every hair on her body stood on end. The intense danger made her feel the terror of the attack to come.

She almost wanted to transform back into her original form as a mythical beast to withstand the attack. (A mythical beast can only transform once, and then can only switch between its original form and its transformed form.)

Just then, a tall, dark figure appeared in front of Chen Qiu'er. Then, with a casual gesture, he grasped Xue Di's fair arm.

Looking at Chen Feng's broad and tall back, Chen Qiu'er thought bitterly, "I lost. Chen Feng's disciple belongs to someone else now (﹏)."

As the domain dissipated, everyone could see the scene inside the training ground once again.

Seeing that Chen Feng had grabbed Xue Ling'er's arm and stopped her attack, it was clear who had won and who had lost.

It was clear that the white-haired girl, Xue Ling'er, had won.

Immediately, the inner court teachers and elders who had made Xue Di a disciple of Chen Feng were overjoyed, while those who had made Chen Qiu'er a disciple of Chen Feng sighed and lamented that their savings were about to shrink again.

Referee Shen Tao was completely dumbfounded when he saw Chen Feng appear in the martial arts arena.

As a powerful figure at the Title Douluo level, he was actually unable to provide timely assistance during the contest between two Soul Emperors, requiring the Sea God Pavilion Master to personally intervene. This was truly a huge disgrace.

Chen Feng naturally had no time to care about Shen Tao's feelings.

Chen Feng looked around and said loudly, "In this disciple selection, I have seen many outstanding inner court students."

But the two most outstanding among them are Xue Ling'er and Chen Qiu'er, who are standing next to me.

Not only did they reach the Soul Emperor level at a young age, but they also possessed powerful martial souls. One of them had the ultimate power, the Golden Dragon, and the other had the ultimate ice, the Snow Maiden, both of which were ultimate martial souls.

Furthermore, he possesses rich combat experience and formidable strength, making him a once-in-a-millennium genius.

Originally, I only wanted to select one disciple to take as my disciple this time, but suddenly I developed a love for talent. Both of them are exceptional geniuses.

Therefore, I decided to take them both as my disciples and teach them with great care.

Snow Empress: () Shouldn't I be the only disciple? How come there's suddenly another one? (；｀ヘ)

Chen Qiu'er: (=^▽^=) Okay, okay, one disciple is not enough, taking on two disciples is just right, then I can see Chen Feng every day!

Writing the extra chapters is giving me a headache, I'll add more tomorrow.
