Chapter 159: The Third Trial, Journey to the Extreme North
"Her martial soul isn't the Haotian Hammer, but a noble circle ring, right?"
The little angel nodded in agreement with Ning Bei's words, her face displaying a slight look of confusion.
"Her martial soul mutated. Despite having innate soul power at level 9, she can't cultivate, meaning she can only remain a Soul Master for her whole life. Do you think she can survive in Haotian Sect, where power is the highest respect?"
"That's true, I thought you wanted to..."
Ning Bei gave her a helpless glare for her wild imagination.
"Can you stop thinking about all those random things? Do you think I'm that desperate?"
Realizing her mistake, the little angel shyly turned her head, pretending to act tough.
"Tch, half of the team you've prepared are girls. Am I the one thinking too much?"
"Well, it's not what you think. Just have someone keep an eye on Tang Yuehua. If she gets in contact with Tang San, let me know!"
Seeing Ning Bei smoothly change the subject, Qian Renxue gave him a dismissive glance but didn't press further.
"Got it. I can handle that. What are your plans after this?"
Ning Bei thought for a moment, and since there was no need to hide anything, he replied.
"I might be heading to the Extreme North soon to complete the third trial of the Ice God."
"Oh? You've received the third trial's details?"
Qian Renxue's eyes lit up. She knew Ning Bei had been wondering about the interruption in the trial.
"Yeah, it just opened a few days ago."
"Then you better get to work on it!"
Hearing her encouragement, Ning Bei's mischievous spirit began to stir.
"The one who should be working hard is you, Soul Saint Qian Renxue!"
Seeing Ning Bei with his signature mischievous grin, the little angel almost couldn't contain her frustration, and the room was soon filled with the sound of smashing and banging.
After a while, Ning Bei, looking disheveled with torn clothes and messy hair, exited the Prince's mansion, silently cursing himself for his sharp tongue.
In the following days, besides training, Ning Bei also checked the progress of his little disciples. It wasn't until two weeks later that Tianmeng's excited voice finally echoed in his mind.
"Bing'er, you're awake!"
"Stay away from me, you stupid worm!"
Ning Bei couldn't help but chuckle as he watched Tianmeng in his consciousness sea, looking like a dog in distress, while the Ice Emperor snuggled closely with the Snow Emperor, seemingly ignoring Tianmeng.
But Tianmeng wasn't in a rush. With ample time ahead, it had already mentally prepared for the long wait.
"Since the Ice Emperor is awake, I'll prepare to head to the Extreme North."
"Hmm? Are you going there for something specific?"
The Ice Emperor, still not fully understanding, looked at Ning Bei in confusion.
Before Ning Bei could answer, Tianmeng took over the explanation.
"While you were asleep, Ning Bei's third trial of the Ice God began."
The little girl's eyes immediately brightened upon hearing this.
"Really? Then why are you waiting for me? Go ahead and complete the trial!"
"Well, I need your help for this trial."
"Me? I don't even have my original body. How can I help you?"
Seeing the confused look on the Ice Emperor's face, Tianmeng quickly took over the conversation.
"Ah, the third trial requires us to cultivate two new kings for the Extreme North. After the Ice Emperor's sacrifice, the new Ice Snow Spirit has been born. But the new king of your Ice Emperor Scorpion clan still needs to be chosen by you."
"Ah, I see! Then let's hurry up and go!"
The little girl beamed with excitement. As the Ice Emperor Scorpion clan's queen, it was a perfect opportunity to add more strength to her race after the sacrifice.
"Alright, I'll just say my goodbyes and then we can leave."
Not wasting time, Ning Bei went to see Ning Fengzhi and explained the situation. It was better to ascend to godhood sooner than later.
"Father, I'm planning to go to the Extreme North to complete the third trial."
"Is that so? Do you need our help?"
Ning Fengzhi, pleased for his son, was also eager to see if he and the others could offer any assistance.
Ning Bei shook his head.
"Father, this trial isn't dangerous, there's no fighting involved. I'm just going to bring back two soul beasts to cultivate."
"I see. Well, go quickly and return safely. Be careful."
After informing Ning Fengzhi, Ning Bei packed his things and headed to Seven Treasure City, where he rented a Fanalie and set off toward Snow Moon City.
The coachman, the same one as before, smiled widely when he saw Ning Bei, and he couldn't hide his excitement. It was clear that he didn't mind the cold, harsh mission to the Extreme North when there was money to be made.
As his fellow coachmen mocked him, the driver just sneered. "You laugh at me for being old and foolish, but I laugh at you for earning so little. Drive for this young master a few more times, and you won't have to worry for the rest of your life."
The journey was smooth, and without encountering any problems, Ning Bei arrived in Snow Moon City. He handed the coachman a pouch of money with a satisfied smile.
"Alright, I'll wait for you here at the hotel!"
Ning Bei nodded, heading toward the Extreme North. In less than half an hour, the conspicuous warning sign reappeared in front of him.
He summoned Ah Bao and Erming, and a series of sneezing sounds filled the air.
"I say, Ning Bei, why do you always end up in these freezing, desolate places?"
Erming shivered in the cold air and glared at Ning Bei.
"Quit complaining. Isn't this the third trial of the Ice God? I have to come here."
Erming immediately fell silent. Being a god was impressive, even more so than Da Ming!
In comparison, Ah Bao was much calmer. Whether they were working here or somewhere else didn't matter. After resting for so long, it was time to get moving.
"Snow Emperor, let's go find the Ice Snow Spirit first."
The Snow Emperor in Ning Bei's consciousness nodded and pointed in a direction.
Ning Bei quickly signaled Ah Bao and Erming to follow him.
Just as he thought their lineup would be unstoppable and no soul beast would dare to challenge them, heavy footsteps echoed from afar.
A few minutes later, a gigantic humanoid soul beast appeared before them. The beast stood nearly a hundred meters tall, resembling both an ape and a human, with fierce bone horns protruding from its shoulders.
Ah Bao and Erming's pupils contracted, and they immediately transformed into their true forms, preparing to face the creature.
In front of them, Ah Bao and Erming looked like tiny ants compared to the massive beast.
"It's Ah Tai!"
The voices of the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor echoed in Ning Bei's mind, and he understood the identity of the beast.
It was the Titan Snow Demon King, ranked third among the three kings of the Extreme North, a top-tier fierce beast with ancient Ice God blood. It was notorious for its brutality and love for combat.
It had been drawn to them by the Snow Emperor's aura.
The Titan Snow Demon King regarded Ah Bao and Erming's actions as a challenge and immediately prepared to launch an attack.
Just as it was about to act, the Snow Emperor's voice rang out through the air.
"Ah Tai, retreat! Do not be rude to the new Ice God's guardians!"
Upon hearing this familiar voice, the Titan Snow Demon King stopped, a look of confusion in its eyes as it turned to glance at Ning Bei behind the two beasts.
"Human, why do you carry the Snow Emperor's aura?"
Ning Bei didn't hesitate and directly released his second martial soul, the Ice Snow Girl, appearing behind him.
