In the martial arts arena, there was only deathly silence.
Dean Shui Yun slowly walked to the center of the field and came to Shui Bing'er, who was still lost. She waved her hand, signaling other students and teachers to leave first.
In the huge ice crystal martial arts arena, only the master and the apprentice were left. The cold wind blew through, bringing with it a biting chill.
Shui Yun looked at her most proud disciple, seeing the unprecedented confusion and wavering in her eyes, and her heart was also filled with emotions. She squatted down, gently helped Shui Bing'er up, and gently wiped away some ashes on her face with a handkerchief.
"Teacher..." Shui Binger raised her head, her voice choked with sobs.
Dean Shuiyun sighed deeply. His ice-blue eyes lost their usual coldness and sharpness, leaving only a sense of deep exhaustion and insight into the vicissitudes of the world. She pulled Shui Bing'er to the observation deck on the side of the field, from where she could overlook the entire Tianshui College and the huge sparkling lake in the distance.
"Bing'er, look." Shui Yun's voice was very soft, but with great power, "Look at this huge college, look at this calm lake. They are beautiful and peaceful, right?"
Shui Bing'er didn't know why, but she nodded.
"But this tranquility is based on the balance of power." Shui Yun's gaze became extremely sharp, as if penetrating the space and seeing the storm in the future, "What Wuhun Temple showed today was by no means just the power of two geniuses. What they showed was a... subversive ability that can "create" strong people. The ability to break the inherent rules! Ye Lingling is a living example! In just one day! She has transformed from a mere assistant to a being who can defeat you head-on! Although there is an element of carelessness in it, it is undeniable that the Master decided to let you go to the Wuhun Palace!
She turned her head, stared at Shui Bing'er with a burning gaze and continued: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wuhun Palace's ambition is to recruit talents from all over the world and absorb the foundations of the two empires! How can a teacher not know this? But, Bing'er, it is precisely because I can see clearly that I want you to go!"
“Why?!” Shui Binger became even more confused.
"Because of the general trend!" Shui Yun's voice was resolute, with an unquestionable determination, "Wuhun Palace has such means, and its rise is like a torrent, unstoppable! If they can 'create' one Ye Lingling, they can create ten or a hundred! In the future, the pattern of the soul master world in the entire continent will be completely rewritten because of them!"
Hands on Shui Bing'er's shoulders, her eyes were full of consideration for her disciple's future, even with a touch of cold reason:
"Instead of waiting until the future, when the Wuhun Palace will dominate the continent with an unrivaled attitude, overwhelming others, and may even forcefully recruit all geniuses... It is better to take the initiative to get closer now, when they are still in their infancy and still attracting people's hearts!"
Shui Yun's voice was low and powerful, and every word hit Shui Bing'er's heart: "You are my disciple, a rare genius from my Tianshui Academy in a century! Your future should not be restricted by the walls of the academy! Wuhun Palace allows you to Become stronger! You, Ice Phoenix, are a top martial spirit, and you will definitely be a titled Douluo in the future. Perhaps the Spirit Hall can help you reach a higher level!” There was still a struggle, but the tone softened, with a hint of motherly love and far-reaching planning:
"And, Bing'er, you went to Wuhun Hall, not a betrayal. You are the phoenix that walked out of Tianshui Academy! Your roots are here. Your strength may not be able to become a barrier for the academy in troubled times in the future, a... link of connection. Remember, power itself has no position, the key lies in how the person who controls the power uses it. "
The cold wind blew the long aqua-blue hair of Dean Shui Yun, and she cast her gaze in the direction where everyone in Wuhun Hall disappeared... "So, go, Bing'er." Shui Yun's voice carried a sense of relief and deep expectation of having been relieved of a burden, "With your doubts and your desires, go to Wuhun Hall. Go and see their so-called What is "opportunity"! Go and pursue... your own, more powerful future! Tianshui College... will always be your home. "
Shui Bing'er stood there blankly, looking at the complicated and unspeakable emotions in the teacher's eyes - there was pride, reluctance, worry, and a sense of determination and foresight after seeing the future. The teacher's words were like a bonfire lit on the ice sheet, which not only dispelled the confusion and coldness in her heart, but also illuminated a path full of temptation and unknown that she had never imagined.
Whundian...chance...become stronger...
In her ice-blue eyes, the confusion gradually faded away, replaced by an unprecedented determination and eagerness to try.
…
Martial Soul Branch Hall.
Salas and his party had just come back, but their buttocks were still hot from sitting, when the guards came to report that there was a little girl outside the door asking to see them.
Hush Shui Bing'er's figure appeared in front of everyone for a moment. She changed out of the uniform of Tianshui College and wore a simple and elegant light blue uniform. Her long aqua hair was a little messy. It was obvious that she had been walking all the way. She panted slightly, and the coldness and unwillingness on the martial arts field were no longer in her ice-blue eyes, replaced by a kind of desire. She looked past Salas and locked directly on Ye Lingling.
"Ling Ling!" Shui Bing'er's voice contained a subtle tremor, "I...I've thought about it! I'll join the Spirit Hall!"
Jing!
After a brief silence, Hu Liena's fox eyes instantly brightened up astonishingly, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, saying "Sure enough,". Yan jumped up and said, "Hey! Girl Ice Phoenix! Welcome to join! From now on, you will be one of your own!" Xie Yue also opened her eyes, a trace of slight surprise flashed across her cold and indifferent face, and then she calmed down.
Salas smiled while stroking his hands, his eyes twinkling: "Okay! Wise choice! Shui Bing'er, from now on, you are a member of my Spirit Hall! You will definitely be happy for today's decision in the future!"
Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, bowed slightly to Salas, then walked quickly to Ye Lingling, and asked eagerly: "Lingling! You said...that 'opportunity' that can change everything...what is it?" Her eyes were full of urgency.
Ye Linngling's cold face showed a smile, with a bit of "experienced" calmness. She raised her finger and pointed in the direction of Ling Ye's room, her voice clear and determined:
"Blind box."
"Blind...box?" Shui Bing'er was stunned, her ice-blue eyes filled with big question marks. What is that? Sound like a regular box for stuff?
"Yes, blind box." Ye Lingling looked at Shui Bing'er's confused look, as if she saw herself yesterday, and patiently explained, "Ling Ye... He has a magical ability to condense a "blind box" that contains infinite possibilities. Open it, you You may get an increase in soul power, a strengthened soul ring, or even...like me, get a powerful self-created soul skill that is completely different from your own martial soul!" She paused, with a hint of dreaminess in her tone, "My fireball, my entanglement...all come from this!"
The soul ring is strengthened? Create your own soul skills? ! Shui Bing'er felt that her knowledge had been severely subverted again! A box? Can you come up with these heaven-defying things? This is even more outrageous than a myth! But Ye Lingling's living example was standing right in front of her, and she couldn't help but not believe it! The huge shock and ensuing ecstasy instantly overwhelmed her! It turns out that this is the secret of Ye Lingling’s transformation in one day!
"Then...then I can..." Shui Bing'er was so excited that her voice trembled.
"No." Hu Liena walked over with a smile and patted Shui Bing'er's shoulder affectionately (the latter's body visibly stiffened), "Lingye's little ancestor is 'resting' today, and the blind box will have to wait until tomorrow to condense. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry! Now that you're here, stay in peace and take care of the room!" She winked at Salas.
Salas understood immediately and ordered the attendant: "Take Miss Shui Bing'er to the best guest room to rest."
This night was destined to be a long one for Shui Bing'er. Lying on the soft and comfortable big bed, she was not sleepy at all. Ye Lingling's subversive fireball and Ling Ye's "blind box" were repeatedly replayed in her mind. Her heart was racing, and she was full of unprecedented expectations and anxiety about the future.
The next day, it was just dawn.
Shui Binger was almost waiting with her ears perked up. When the first ray of sunlight shone into the room through the window lattice, she immediately got out of bed, washed herself briefly and rushed to the front hall. However, there was someone earlier than her!
Hu Liena, Yan, Xieyue, and even Ye Lingling are all "ready" in the front hall! Hu Liena drank her morning tea gracefully, but her slightly trembling toes revealed her eagerness; Yan was like an ant on a hot pot, spinning around in the hall; Xie Yue still folded her arms, but glanced in the direction of Ling Ye's room from time to time; Ye Lingling sat quietly, but there was also a hint of expectation in her eyes.
"Good morning, sister Bing'er!" Hu Liena greeted Shui Bing'er with a smile, "It seems you can't wait any longer? Let's go! Wake up our little God of Wealth!"
A large group of people rushed outside the door of Ling Ye's room as if they were robbing. Hu Liena knocked on the door without any politeness.
"Ling Ye! The sun is shining on my butt! The blind box is open!"
The room was silent for a few seconds, and then a sigh filled with sleepiness and extreme helplessness came from the room. The door was opened a crack, and Ling Ye appeared at the door sleepily with messy black hair. He looked at the group of guys "waiting for food" at the door, especially Shui Bing'er's frighteningly bright eyes, and sighed resignedly: "There's a new guy here... Come in."
Everyone rushed into the room with a roar. Ling Ye rubbed his eyes and walked to the open space in the center of the room. He didn't talk nonsense and his thoughts moved slightly.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! …
Ten quaint wooden boxes, neatly suspended in mid-air like magic! Four more than yesterday!
"Wow! Ten!" Yan's eyes widened and his saliva almost flowed out.
"Let's get started." Ling Ye's voice was lazily as though he hadn't woken up, and he pointed at Shui Bing'er, "Newcomers are given priority, but you can only open four, leave one for each of them!"
Shui Bing'er's heart was beating wildly! She took a deep breath, with a kind of pilgrim-like piety, stretched out her slightly trembling fingers, and pointed at the first blind box!
Click! Buzz!
The light lit up and enveloped her!
The light dissipates!
A strange, warm energy with an original aura surged into her body instantly, rushing straight to the core of her martial soul! The target was her second yellow century-old soul ring!
Hum——!
At Shui Bing'er's feet, the second circle of yellow soul rings appeared uncontrollably! Under everyone's gaze, the originally bright yellow light seemed to be injected with powerful vitality, and the color deepened, solidified, and transformed at a speed visible to the naked eye! The yellow light actually began to reveal wisps of noble purple halo! In the end, the entire soul ring shone brightly and completely turned into a deep, noble purple!
The life span of the soul ring has been increased: 200 years! The second soul ring was promoted to a thousand years!
"Purple...Purple? Thousand years?! My second soul ring...has become a thousand years?!" Shui Bing'er felt a completely different sense of powerful power coming from the soul ring, and felt the joy of the martial soul's origin, and she was completely confused! My mind is blank! This...this is simply a miracle! No! It is a miracle among miracles!
