Water Condenses Ice, Ice Phoenix

Chapter 42 Water Condenses Ice, Ice Phoenix

As the weather gradually became hotter, the once lively world suddenly became listless. The green leaves hung listlessly on the branches, seemingly also severely affected by the hot weather.

The chirping of cicadas filled the air, each call somewhat shrill and disturbing, yet it was nothing more than their indulgence in their short lives, both poignant and heartless.

This summer is the hottest in the past decade, and even the outskirts of the far north have been significantly affected, with the snowfields shrinking considerably.

However, this has also brought considerable benefits to humanity. The weather has weakened ice-attribute soul beasts to some extent, and many low-level soul masters have already formed teams to hunt for soul rings.

Tianmeng lay listlessly on a tree branch, watching Shen Hanyu below, who was completely undisturbed, meditating and cultivating, without even a drop of sweat on his forehead.

The Frostfire Spear, planted to one side, emitted a faint chill, dispelling the surrounding heat.

Shen Liuyu slowly walked down from the second floor, yawning, her eyes still blurry with sleep, and mumbled:

"Brother, aren't you hot? I was woken up by the heat..."

Shen Hanyu slowly opened his eyes, glanced at her, and said without any mercy:

"You're supposed to be a water-attribute soul master, yet you're afraid of the heat? How dare you say that?"

Shen Liuyu didn't take it to heart and said matter-of-factly:

"Do you think everyone is as abnormal as you? You're always as cold as an ice block, no matter when or where. I really don't know why. Bing'er's martial soul, the Ice Phoenix, should be of higher quality than your broken spear, but it's suppressed by your broken spear in both attributes and quality. It's really strange..."

Shen Hanyu was too lazy to pay attention to his younger sister who had already let loose. After taking a short break to calm his mind, he got up and walked into the house.

As he passed by Shen Liuyu, Shen Liuyu suddenly said:

"Bing'er has broken through to the Great Soul Master level. I heard she's going to hunt for a Soul Ring in a few days, but..."

Shen Hanyu reluctantly showed some interest and said:

"Go on, what's wrong?"

Shen Liuyu tried to find a flaw in Shen Hanyu's expression, but unfortunately, she failed as always.

"I heard from Yue'er that Bing'er and her aunt have had a small disagreement about the development direction of her martial soul. Bing'er wants to continue with the control type, while the dean thinks that the Ice Phoenix, as a top-tier beast martial soul, recommends that she go for the power attack type. The two of them have been arguing about this for several days now. Brother, what do you think, which path is more suitable for Bing'er?"

Shen Liuyu asked with some curiosity.

Shen Hanyu thought for a moment, then casually shook his head and said:

"Ice is a balanced element, capable of both strong offense and control, and can even be considered as one. However, considering the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, I think the strong offense type is better. But whatever choice she makes, I will support her."

Shen Liuyu nodded and said no more. After washing up, she lay down on the recliner and did nothing.

After all, she had invited the Shui Bing'er sisters to come here today, so she needed to rest and recharge her energy...

…………

At noon

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er appeared outside the fence.

Shen Liuyu waved excitedly at them after seeing this.

However, the Shui Bing'er sisters seemed to be in low spirits, ignoring Shen Liuyu's greetings, their brows furrowed with worry and tension.

Shen Liuyu was stunned for a moment, then stood there somewhat bewildered.

Shen Hanyu slowly walked out of the house and suddenly said:

"There's no need for you to hide it anymore, senior. It's pointless, isn't it?"

These words plunged Shen Liuyu into even greater confusion.

Goodness gracious, what are they up to? How come I, the dignified Sister Yu, have no idea? Is this some new kind of prank?

But then, a beautiful woman in palace attire suddenly appeared behind the Shui Bing'er sisters, causing Shen Liuyu to tremble and say in shock:

"Dean...Dean! What brings you here?"

Shui Ningbing smiled gently and said:

"What, you guys are only allowed to have a secret get-together? I'm not welcome?"

Shen Liuyu shook his head violently, then looked at Shen Hanyu. Shen Hanyu remained unmoved and said calmly:

"There's no such thing as welcoming or not welcoming; what I'm really more interested in is the purpose of your visit."

Shui Ningbing wasn't annoyed; she remained gentle and refined, softly leading the Shui Bing'er sisters inside. After looking around at the furnishings, a hint of amazement appeared in her eyes, and she said:

"What a wonderful place! No wonder Bing'er and Yue'er sneak out of the city every two days to come here. Even I really like this atmosphere."

Shen Liuyu hurriedly took out juice from the house, placed it on the table, poured a glass for everyone, and then frantically winked at Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, asking what was going on.

A hint of helplessness appeared in Shui Bing'er's eyes, while Shui Yue'er seemed somewhat resigned to her fate and simply ignored Shen Liuyu's questioning gaze.

Shui Ningbing smiled and looked at Shen Hanyu, saying:

"You must be Liu Yu's brother. I've heard about you from Yue'er."

Shen Hanyu nodded, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes as he looked at the elegant and beautiful woman in front of him. She was about forty or fifty years old, but her soul power was already at the Soul Douluo level. Her martial soul was not the Ice Phoenix, but it was still an ice-attribute martial soul. It should be a lower-level branch of the Ice Phoenix martial soul, such as a martial soul like the Ice Jade Luan Bird.

"You're right, I am Liu Yu's older brother."

Shen Hanyu said

Shui Ningbing nodded knowingly, looked Shen Hanyu up and down, and said:

"You possess many extraordinary qualities. Even with my Contra cultivation level, I cannot see through your cultivation. Furthermore, I sense a profound threat emanating from you. I am very curious; you appear quite young, yet you are so exceptional..."

Shen Hanyu chuckled and said:

"It was all due to chance, or just good fortune."

Upon hearing this, Shui Ningbing smiled and covered her mouth, saying:

"Some things can't be obtained just by chance. You're a very smart young man. Can you tell me your name?"

Shen Hanyu relaxed a bit, at least for now he could be sure that the other party had no ill intentions and had just come to take a look.

Moreover, if a fight really broke out, he was confident that he could defeat his opponent within a hundred moves. Although it might cause some damage to the surrounding area, at least he could guarantee that no one would be hurt.

"Shen Hanyu, Han as in cold, Yu as in feather."

Shen Hanyu chuckled, his expression noticeably gentler, and said.

"Good name. Is your martial spirit a spear? It seems to be of very high quality. Bing'er said that her martial spirit is not as good as yours."

Shui Ningbing praised her, then asked with some curiosity.

When Shui Bing'er awakened her ancestral Ice Phoenix martial soul and her innate soul power reached level nine, it shook the entire Elemental City. She was regarded as the future hope by the Shui family and Tianshui Academy.

As the king of birds, the phoenix is ​​not only of high quality, but also has a certain suppressive effect on ice-attribute martial souls, which is beyond doubt.

P.S.: Many of the previous comments from adoptive fathers were too harsh, so I'll say here that I'll revise the story. But I've been too busy these past few days, and I need to calm down in a few days. I revised part of it last night and fell asleep from exhaustion, so I'll just leave it for later. I'm too overwhelmed.

P.S.: Requesting collection, monthly votes, and recommendation votes.
