The Boy with a Long Spear

Chapter 1: The Boy with a Long Spear (New book, please support!)

Douluo Continent.

The far north, within the mixed zone.

"roar--"

The deep roars of beasts echoed through this world where only ice and snow existed, adding a faint trace of life to this barren land.

A gigantic figure came galloping from afar, leaving a trail of howling winds and causing ice and snow to scatter like broken waves.

This was a strange soul beast, four-legged and nearly six meters long! Its sharp claws seemed capable of tearing through space itself, and its entire body was covered in snow-white crystals. Its tail was exceptionally long, like it was studded with colorful gems, dazzling and captivating. Its ferocious beast head was now contorted in agony and terror, making it appear even more bloody and twisted.

This was none other than a Xuanhai Glazed Beast that was twelve thousand years old!

A super soul beast with dual ice and water attributes that is almost extinct! It is said that during the heyday of its race, there was even a beast king in the race that was over 600,000 years old. Not only did it master the ultimate ice, but it also once dominated the entire far north for hundreds of thousands of years. Unfortunately, because its race was too powerful and domineering, it was besieged by the myriad races of the far north and finally ended up almost being extinct.

The Xuanhai Liuli Beast, which is 12,000 years old, is already a powerful soul beast that is rare in the world. With its top-level dual attributes of ice and water and its strong physique, it can even escape from some powerful soul beasts that are 50,000 years old. However, it is now being chased and killed in such a sorry state, which is really surprising.

With a sharp whooshing sound, the Xuanhai Glazed Beast seemed to be greatly frightened, its pace quickening even more, and the blood that seeped out sprayed down as if it were free, staining the pure white snow red.

As the distance closed, the source of the whooshing sound was finally revealed.

It was a long spear, entirely ice-blue in color, as clear as crystal!

The spear radiated a smoky blue light, its body covered with various strange Dao patterns, and it retained an aura of utmost purity and coldness.

The spear has a blade on only one side, but the blade is extremely long, taking up almost a quarter of the entire spear. The blade emits an icy blue mist, as if it can freeze all the sins in the world.

On the upper middle part of the spear shaft, two ancient and powerful characters can be faintly seen: "寒天" (Han Tian).

The Frostfire Spear streaked through the air at breakneck speed, its passage seemingly suppressed by the extreme cold and the incredibly sharp spearhead, causing the air itself to lose its luster.

With a painful roar, the enormous Xuanhai Liuli Beast crashed to the ground, while the Hantian Spear, its tip stained with blood, pinned it firmly to the snow, rendering it unable to move.

A young man walked slowly through the snowstorm not far away, looking at the Xuanhai Liuli Beast that was still struggling desperately with a mocking gaze, and revealing a dangerous killing intent in his eyes.

The boy was tall and straight, with a handsome face and a pair of strange, purplish-blue pupils, as mysterious as the deep sea, yet filled with endless mysteries.

He stood proudly in the wind and snow, wearing a white mink robe, his long purple-blue hair casually draped behind him, dancing in the wind without ever being disheveled.

Upon closer inspection, the young man's handsome features resembled the masterpiece of a sculptor, and his noble and elegant demeanor radiated from within, inspiring admiration and affection in all who beheld him.

With a casual gesture, Shen Hanyu sent the Frost Sky Spear soaring into the air and transforming into a streak of light that returned to his hand, as if it had become one with him.

Seeing the Xuanhai Liuli Beast struggling on the ground, Shen Hanyu sneered and thrust his spear directly into its brain, ending its life.

As the immense energy slowly gathered, it finally condensed into a black soul ring above his corpse, radiating a terrifying aura.

Shen Hanyu sighed softly, then sprinkled some irritating powder around him to repel soul beasts, and sat down cross-legged to begin absorbing the black soul ring.

………………

Five hours later.

Shen Hanyu's figure reappeared in the swirling snow. The biting wind howled, and snowflakes stung his face, causing a faint pain.

"Looks like it's going to be another blizzard."

A deep voice sounded, and Shen Hanyu continued walking towards the city on the outskirts of the far north, where his temporary residence was located.

"Ha, I never thought that after transmigrating I'd have to cultivate like crazy all day long. This is even more tiring than working as a mercenary during summer vacation..."

Shen Hanyu complained in a low voice, while taking out a piece of dried meat from his soul tool and eating it with the ice and snow.

As the most complex region in the far north, the Mixed Circle is a melting pot of all kinds of creatures. From ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts to ten-year-old soul beasts, you might find them here. If you're lucky, you might even find clues about a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast deep within the Mixed Circle.

After eating and drinking his fill, Shen Hanyu casually wiped his mouth, took out a map made of soul beast fur, examined it, and put it away after confirming the approximate distance.

Then his figure quickly disappeared, rushing towards a human city a hundred miles away.

…………

Tianbing City.

This place serves as the first line of defense against the beast tides of the far north, and is also the largest city within a thousand miles. The city walls, covered in ice and snow, are nearly thirty meters high and are exceptionally thick, making it easy for horse-drawn carriages to run on them.

The city not only houses the 6,000 permanent troops of the Heaven Dou Empire, but also a dedicated team of Soul Masters. The strongest among them has reached the level of Soul Saint, while the weakest has the cultivation of Soul Venerable, making them extremely powerful.

Shen Hanyu handed over three copper soul coins and entered the city smoothly. He then headed east and entered a luxuriously decorated hotel. After exchanging a few words with the receptionist, he went straight to the top floor and entered his room.

The room's furnishings were understated yet luxurious, and the facilities were complete, justifying its terrifying price of tens of gold soul coins per night.

Shen Hanyu collapsed heavily onto the soft white bed, letting his body be swallowed by the soft touch, in order to relieve the stress and terrifying exhaustion brought about by this trip.

Even a Soul Emperor would have to take precautions to stay safe in the extremely low temperatures of the mixed zone in the far north. In addition, he had been fighting the Xuanhai Glazed Beast for almost half a month, which was a great test of his willpower and mental strength.

In the end, he won. His opponent became his fourth spirit ring and a stepping stone for him to reach the pinnacle, which was also the result Shen Hanyu wanted.

Eleven years ago, he lived on a blue planet. He was an orphan who was tricked by his best friend into going abroad to work as a mercenary during his summer vacation because he was short of money. Little did he know that he was a natural genius who could take this path and made a name for himself in the industry in less than two months.

Just as they were preparing to return home after the holiday, a Tomahawk missile suddenly blasted the abandoned building where they were staying into dust, and he himself was probably blown to pieces.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself transported to a Chinese animation called "Love Continent" that he had watched in his previous life. He had become the older brother of Shen Liuyu, a supporting character and member of the Tianshui team. Not only were his parents alive, but his family was also quite famous in the local small town.

Such a start doesn't fit the protagonist's character setting. Shen Hanyu didn't have any opinion on it and just continued to drift through life as always, while also taking care of his cute little sister. He was quite happy with his life.

Who knew that when he awakened his martial soul at the age of six, he would awaken a strange spear, and he also had the top talent of innate full soul power.

This made his parents so happy that they almost threw a big celebration. However, thankfully they remained rational and did not tell anyone about it. Even the Spirit Hall, which was always very sensitive to geniuses, did not notice anything unusual.

To put it simply, only four people in the world know about his genius.

Shen Hanyu counts as one, Shen Hanyu's parents count as two, and Shen Liuyu, who is barely a young girl, also counts as one.

There were exactly four people in total, and since they were family members, there was no need to worry about them leaking secrets, which saved a lot of trouble.

Because he strongly resisted the so-called Soul Master Academy, Shen Hanyu simply left a letter after breaking through to the Great Soul Master level at home, then ran away with tens of thousands of gold soul coins. He only wrote a letter home every month, and he was quite happy with his freedom.

After all, it would be a bit of a disservice to Shen Hanyu, a handsome guy with the intelligence of a modern college student, to have a time traveler attend a so-called Soul Master Academy with a group of children.

Of course, that's all in the past.

The following is a must-read for all readers who clicked in!!!

First, this book is a lighthearted, fast-paced read, so don't think too much while reading it. If you find something useful, save it here; if not, the door's open, just steal one yourself, hehehe…

Secondly, if you don't like it, just leave. Don't complain. New writers inevitably have flaws or illogical plots. Tell me and I'll listen to your opinions (really). Sometimes the settings or plot aren't quite right, so please use your imagination to figure it out. Sometimes I can't explain it either (laughs and cries).

Third, as the saying goes, good books should be cherished, and bad books shouldn't be missed; if you send them to your friends, they'll suffer a bit too (just kidding).

P.S.: My new book needs your support, whether it's adding it to your favorites or giving it a recommendation!
