Chapter 343 The Far North

"."

The next day.

Water house, yard.

It's just dawn.

While Shui Yue'er was still holding the doll on the bed and talking in her sleep, Shui Bing'er was already practicing in the yard.

Even after graduating and becoming a practical instructor at Four Elements Academy, she still did not give up the habit of morning exercises.

Sit cross-legged on the ground, close your eyes and concentrate.

An icy air spread from Shui Bing'er's body, and the green lawn in the yard was gradually covered with a layer of white ice and snow.

The soul power moves rhythmically with Shui Bing'er's breathing, inhaling continuously and exhaling slightly, forming a subtle cycle.

Raising his hands with their palms facing each other, Shui Bing'er began to inject soul power into the two palms, and then condensed the soul power between the two palms.

If you can keep the two palms still and then use your mind to push the soul power out of the palm and merge it into a fixed shape of materialized energy, it means that you have mastered the control of soul power.

Lu Badai once said that when one masters one's own soul power, the disadvantages of being unable to control the Ice Phoenix Spirit will be easily solved.

For this reason, Shui Bing'er persisted for three years. The essential content of daily morning exercises was to master the control of soul power.

In the process of controlling her soul power more and more, Shui Bing'er also discovered that her ice phoenix martial soul had mutated. It was not a mutation of the martial soul, but because of her proficiency in soul power, which allowed her soul ring skills to follow her heart freely. Change is the so-called self-created soul skill.

Now, Shui Bing'er's first soul skill, Freezing, is not only an instant control skill, but it can also instantly condense an ice track wherever she must pass.

Sliding on the ice track can make her more flexible, and she can also use various soul skills to cause unexpected attacks on the enemy.

Although she doesn't know whether skilled soul control can solve the shortcomings of the Ice Phoenix Spirit, Shui Bing'er believes that hard work may not necessarily pay off, but it will accumulate luck, and when you have enough luck, the rewards will come.

Driven by the soul power condensed in her palms, Shui Bing'er discovered that there was a clearly visible ice blue cyclone between her palms.

Continue to concentrate and force the soul power into the palm of your hand in an orderly manner. The ice blue cyclone accelerates and rotates, forming a palm-sized spiral sphere. Huge cold air is constantly emitted from this spiral sphere.

Slowly retracting the released soul power, the spiral sphere between his palms gradually degenerated into an ice blue cyclone, and finally disappeared.

The practice is over.

Shui Bing'er opened her eyes and sighed inwardly. During the elite competition, Lu Bao said that he would teach her how to practice in the next step after she learned how to condense cyclones.

But the relationship between the two suddenly became a little awkward at that time, and they didn't make many appointments with each other.

To this day, Shui Bing'er's practice of skillful soul control has always stopped at condensing cyclones, just like her relationship with Lu Bao has stopped at being friends and lovers.

"Are you still insisting on using this method to master soul power control?"

Shui Bing'er looked in the direction of the sudden sound. The person walking out of the door was Lu Bao.

"Yes. The method you taught is very useful." Shui Bing'er said calmly, "I couldn't think of any other way to solve the shortcomings of the Ice Phoenix Spirit. So I kept insisting."

"The next step in learning to condense cyclones is to try to condense the soul power into various forms of energy bodies." As he spoke, Lu Bao Bao walked up to Shui Bing'er, raised his right hand, and the soul power overflowing from his palm instantly condensed into a A one-inch black cube.

In Shui Bing'er's eyes, the black cube Lu Bao Bao was holding suddenly compressed into the size of a toothpick, and finally enlarged into an eight-foot black spear.

"Did you see it? This black spear is just an energy body condensed from soul power, not a martial soul, but it can indeed be used as a weapon. If you are more skillful, I can even condense the soul power breath into your ice The Phoenix Spirit comes to attack the opponent."

The black spear exploded from his hand into light and dissipated. Lu Baolian continued, "As long as the strength of your soul power becomes outstanding enough, you can suppress everything with your soul power. At that time, you can suppress the Ice Phoenix Spirit. I'm not lying." You. It’s just that you haven’t practiced well enough.”

"You didn't teach me any more at that time." Shui Bing'er said with some complaints, "We also stopped talking at that time. Inexplicably, we became like strangers. It was because when you sent me back to the room, I I asked you to go back to your room to rest, so you are angry?"

"No." Lu Bao said, "Didn't the venue of the finals be moved to Wuhun City? After that, I have a lot of things to deal with. After the elite competition, I wanted to say goodbye to you and Yue'er. But unexpectedly, I was The Pope took him to the Papal Palace. After that, we were all busy with our own affairs and stopped contacting. I am not angry with you. I don’t mean to alienate you."

After hearing this explanation, Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, and her heart, which had been suppressed and held for a long time, finally relaxed a lot, and she felt as happy as parting the clouds and seeing the blue sky.

From beginning to end, the relationship between her and Lu Lili was never awkward.

All these are random thoughts caused by her negative view of love. She thinks that she is a tragic heroine, which is why she makes herself so depressed.

Shui Bing'er smiled in relief, "So we are still friends?"

"Otherwise. What else do you want from us?" Lu Bao asked back.

Shui Bing'er didn't reply. After untying her knot, her delicate face was no longer depressed. She was silent for a while before saying, "I want to explain it to you."

"What's the explanation?" Lu Bao asked.

"At that time, after you accompanied me to practice and sent me back to my room, I originally thought that we might be able to develop further and become more than just friends. However, I missed that opportunity."

As she spoke, Shui Bing'er lowered her head with a guilty conscience. Xiafei's cheeks showed that when it came to feelings, she was very delicate and even scheming, but not as bold or direct as her younger sister Shui Yue'er.

But Shui Bing'er put aside all worries and continued: "Whenever I have bad thoughts about you, the picture of my sister and you being so close will always appear in my mind. You can see it, right? ? She also likes you. I was afraid that I would be sorry for her if I developed a further relationship with you through such shameless means in the room. So, I had no choice but to give up and let you go back to your room to rest. I was afraid that you would be angry, but I never had a chance to explain.”

Lu Baoli smiled, "Have you been planning this for so long just to explain this to me?"

Shui Bing'er frowned, "Because of this incident, I haven't had a good night's sleep for three years. After the elite competition, I wanted to find you to explain, but you disappeared for two years as if you had evaporated. , I can’t find you at all. A year ago, you finally appeared, but you have become a Titled Douluo. Do I have the nerve to go and explain to you? I don’t want you to mistakenly think that I am the kind of person who covets your fame and wealth. people."

Lu Baohai looked back at Shui Bing'er's gaze. In her eyes, there seemed to be a hint of grievance, as if the words she had held in her heart for three years were all spoken out at once. After the grievance, she was relieved.

"Let me demonstrate it to you. After you are proficient in condensing cyclones, the next step is to refine the soul power. The refined soul power is completely different from the dispersed soul power. The former is more destructive, and the The power of soul skills will also be relatively powerful."

As he spoke, Lu Baohai raised his right hand and turned his soul power. The soul power aura coiled up in his palm, forming a small tornado.

After saying everything she wanted to say, Shui Bing'er was no longer affected by her depressed mood and focused on watching the tornado formed in Lu Bao's hand.

"Look. This is the refining of soul power. Compared with the cyclone you condensed just now, the tornado cyclone in my hand can be used as an offensive soul skill. As long as various elemental attribute energies are injected into it, When bombarded on the enemy, corresponding elemental energy damage will be caused."

After saying that, Lu Baohai squeezed his palm, and the tornado cyclone in his hand exploded instantly, "Okay, give it a try. The Ice Phoenix Martial Spirit originally has powerful ice power. Once you are familiar with refining the soul power, it can allow you to It has both control and attack methods to defeat enemies. By then, you may be able to control the Ice Phoenix Spirit very well."

"What does it feel like when refining soul power?" Shui Binger faced each other with his palms, and immediately condensed an ice-blue vortex between the two palms, and asked, "Should I increase the use of soul power, or should I use more soul power? Compressing the soul power while keeping the soul power unchanged?"

"I'll demonstrate it again. Touch the back of my hand with both hands and feel the flow of soul power in my palm." As he spoke, Lu Bao Bao also condensed a black cyclone between his hands.

When participating in the elite competition, the two of them often practiced like this together, so Shui Bing'er naturally stretched out his hands and gently placed them on the backs of Lu Bao's hands, feeling with his heart the movement of the soul power in Lu Bao's body when it formed a cyclone. Variety.

The warmth generated when the hands came together appeared in the hearts of both of them at the same time. Shui Bing'er felt like she was back three years ago. Her feelings for Lu Bao started from that night when she held his hand for the first time. .

Lu Baolei deliberately amplified the flow of soul power in his body. The cyclone between his palms doubled in size and then compressed to its original size. "How is it? Do you feel it?"

"Not yet." Shui Bing'er suddenly let go of her hand, put her palms against each other, and suggested: "How about you put your hands on the back of my hands and help me sense whether the changes in the soul power in my body are correct. ?”

"Okay." Lu Bao Bao stretched out his hands and gently placed them on the backs of Shui Bing'er's hands, carefully feeling the changes in Shui Bing'er's palms when the soul power formed a cyclone.

"No." Lu Bao said: "The direction of the flow of soul power in both hands of yours must be the same. The trick is to increase the use of soul power first, then compress the soul power, and finally save the excess soul power back into the body to avoid the loss of soul power. It’s a waste. Your current soul power flow direction is in the opposite direction. First try to let the soul power flow in both hands flow through the palm of your hand.”

"Otherwise, if you stand behind me and put your hands on the back of my hands, we face the same direction. Maybe you can sense the soul power in my hands more accurately." When he said this, Shui Bing Er lowered her head with a guilty conscience. She could indeed keep her emotions and anger hidden sometimes, even though her heartbeat was speeding up, her face was still so calm.

Having learned from past mistakes, Lu Bao Bao knew why Shui Bing'er asked him to hold her hand from behind, because in this way, the two of them could have close physical contact in the name of cultivation.

Both of them meant to see through but not tell.

Walking behind Shui Bing'er, Lu Baohao stretched out his hands and gently placed his palms on Shui Bing'er's hands that were resting on his chest, condensing whirlwind.

When the palm of the hand was pressed against the back of the hand, Lu Bao'er's chest was also pressed against Shui Bing'er's back, and the two of them seemed to be hugging each other tightly.

Hot feelings arose in Lu Bao'er and Shui Bing'er's bodies at the same time.

The hands attached to the backs of Shui Bing'er's hands could clearly feel the flow of soul power in Shui Bing'er's body. Lu Bao found that Shui Bing'er had actually mastered the technique of refining soul power long ago, "Yes, that's it. Put your hands The soul power on the palm is transferred to the palm at the same time. Try to do the process of increasing the soul power, compressing the soul power and recycling the excess soul power in a coherent manner."

Following the instructions, Shui Bing'er seemed to be a master without a teacher. After a series of changes, the ice blue cyclone between her two palms turned into an ice tornado.

With his peripheral vision raised slightly, Shui Bing'er looked at Lu Bao's side face and asked, "Is this so?"

"Yes." Lu Baoan nodded, and the fingers on the back of Shui Bing'er's hands slowly slipped into her fingers, and the two of them intertwined their fingers.

"Go on. I'll teach you the last step."

"good."

The bright sunshine fell on the lawn of the yard, reflecting the shadows of the two people hugging each other from behind.

Light shines into the room through the window. On the bed, Shui Yue'er is still holding the doll and talking in her sleep.

"."

A few days later.

Morning, Shui family.

courtyard.

Shui Bing'er sat cross-legged on the ground, closing her eyes and concentrating, absorbing a fairy grass called Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.

This fairy grass was given to her by Lu Bao. It is said to be a herb that can greatly replenish pure yang. It can greatly increase the soul power of the user. It can also help the martial arts of the Phoenix lineage purify impurities and let the martial arts contained in them The Phoenix Force becomes more pure.

However, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, a herb that greatly nourishes pure yang, is only suitable for men.

Shui Bing'er was a woman, and she was also an ice soul master whose attributes were completely opposite to those of Phoenix Sunflower. Naturally, it was impossible for Shui Bing'er to absorb the medicinal effects of Phoenix Sunflower.

Fortunately, Lu Bao was proficient in knowledge about various flowers and plants. He knew that Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower was not suitable for Shui Bing'er to take, but it could be taken under special conditions.

That condition is the union of yin and yang, the cultivation of both men and women.

With the help of men who are yang, women can absorb the yang herbs little by little. The medicinal effect of cockscomb and phoenix will also gradually transform into yin during the process of double cultivation. After several double cultivations, the medicine can be completely absorbed. effect.

During the elite competition, Lu Baobao had thought of giving the cockscomb phoenix sunflower to Shui Bing'er to help her solve the uncontrollable flaws of the ice phoenix spirit.

But he didn't.

At first, the friendship between each other was not that deep.

Secondly, it is impossible for Shui Bing'er to agree to the yin and yang intercourse and the dual cultivation of men and women.

Now Lu Baohao gave the cockscomb phoenix sunflower to Shui Bing'er, of course because the two had established a relationship a few days ago, and Shui Bing'er also agreed to use the method of yin and yang intercourse to absorb the effects of the fairy herb.

Just last night, the two had their first male-female double cultivation.

After a night of hard work, part of the medicinal effect of Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower in Shui Bing'er's body has been converted from positive to negative.

At this moment, Shui Bing'er was absorbing this part of the negative herbal energy, and her whole body was experiencing alternating hot and cold phenomena.

This is not a bad thing. The alternation of hot and cold means that the fire attribute of Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower has been assimilated by the ice attribute bit by bit.

During this process, the ice power of the Ice Phoenix Spirit became more powerful, and the Phoenix bloodline became purer.

Shui Bing'er herself also received great benefits. After her body strength was strengthened by the fairy grass, she could control the powerful ice phoenix spirit and possess it like other beast spirit masters, becoming a simultaneous A dual-system soul master capable of both control and attack.

The soul power has also been increased from level 49 to level 50, and the fifth soul ring can be obtained.

After explaining the situation to the Shui family, Lu Baobo took Shui Bing'er to the far north to hunt the soul beasts, and asked Shui Yue'er to stay at home and absorb an elixir refined from the Shuiyue Ice Crystal Grass. .

The far north.

The sky was full of ice and snow, everything around was shrouded in ice mist, and the biting cold wind was simply not something ordinary soul masters could contend with.

Just in the outer area of ​​the Far North, space suddenly twisted into a whirlpool.

Lu Baoli and Shui Bing'er walked out, and in the blink of an eye, they came from the Shui family to this dangerous place in northern Xinjiang.

Standing on the snow, Shui Bing'er looked at the snowy surroundings in disbelief. Even Tianshui Academy, which was full of water-based soul masters, had never been to such an extremely cold area.

The snow on the ground was getting thicker and thicker. When the snow reached more than the knees, Lu Baohao used his third soul skill Gravity Control on himself and Shui Bing'er, allowing both of them to walk in the snow.

However, Lu Baohao did not use the ultimate fire energy to protect Shui Bing'er from the erosion of the cold air. For any ice soul master, living in the far north is actually the most advanced form of mimicry practice.

During the period of obtaining the soul ring in the far north, Shui Bing'er can take advantage of the extremely cold air here to practice and enhance her ice attributes and physical strength.

"Is this the far north?" Shui Bing'er asked.

Lu Baoliang nodded. Although this was his first time here, the Ghost Shadow Corps had been here before when they were looking for Tianmeng Ice Silkworms. Through vision sharing, he had seen the snowy scene in front of him.

In the endless snow, there are countless dangers hidden.

The closer you get to the core area of ​​the Far North, the closer the temperature will be to the temperature of extreme ice, and even extremely cold things like the Mysterious Ice Marrow will appear in the core area.

Lu Baoli vaguely remembered that during the Peerless Tang Sect period, the far north was known as one of the restricted areas for humans.

Tianmeng Bingcan once said that the co-master of the soul beasts in the far north is a ferocious beast, the Ice Sky Snow Girl, who has been cultivated for more than 600,000 years, also known as the Snow Emperor.

Under the Snow Emperor, there is an Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion called the Ice Emperor, and finally there is the Titan Snow Demon Ape, a 100,000-year-old soul beast with ancient bloodline.

These three soul beasts are called the Three Great Northern Kings by the soul beasts in the Far North due to their strong bloodline and cultivation.

Lu Haoli came here for the three northern kings. Here, he not only wanted to find the fifth soul ring for Shui Bing'er, but also used the soul rings and soul bones of the three northern kings to improve Shui Bing'er's qualifications. Let her inherit the long-lost ice god.

As the Dark Creation God, Lu Baoliang naturally has his own spiritual consciousness, so he can sense that the remaining spiritual consciousness of the Ice God covers the entire Far North. He only needs to integrate the beliefs of the Far North into one body, and the water can Bing'er can awaken the Ice God and start the divine test.

"Let's go to the core area of ​​the Far North. Let's go directly to talk to the owner here." As he said that, Lu Bao held Shui Bing'er's hand and walked along the north.
