Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 126: Qiu'er's Surprise
Snow Empress still had a cold expression on her face at this moment, but with her size—about the same as a child—this icy expression did not evoke any intimidation. Instead, it looked somewhat cute. Of course, Snow Empress did not want to come out into the outside world from the spiritual sea in this form.
However, wasn't there any way?
With Huo Yuhao's current strength, if she restored her full form—even if only for a short time—it could cause harm to Huo Yuhao. This was something Snow Empress was unwilling to do. She was also prepared to become a god with Huo Yuhao and change her destiny.
Therefore, unless Huo Yuhao explicitly requested it, or her own life was in danger, she would not harm Huo Yuhao to unlock greater power.
At this moment, Di Qiu'er looked at Xue Di with surprise. She always felt that the other was familiar, but couldn't quite place where she had seen her before. Because Xue Di was so young compared to her, it made the familiarity even more puzzling.
You know, Xue Di had nearly 700,000 years of cultivation, while Di Qiu'er only had about 15,000 years.
Moreover, Xue Di was still a girl from the extreme north. She didn't do much traveling—she mostly stayed in that cold, distant region.
Only a few powerful soul beasts, like Di Tian, traveled around the world. Most of the strongest soul beasts, including Xue Di, preferred to stay within their territory.
"This breath..." Di Qiu'er always felt that she was facing an extremely powerful soul beast, but as soon as this thought arose, she dismissed it as absurd.
It must be an illusion imitation skill similar to the Far North Ice Silkworm, so that little girl should be a fake soul beast! However, the breath was so lifelike that it could only be suppressed by a thousand-year or even a ten-thousand-year soul beast—most likely Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, which escaped from the Star Dou Dou Great Forest. She remembers Di Tian was a bit upset when Tianmeng Ice Silkworm escaped.
She took a deep breath, and the reflection of the Golden Dragon Spear shimmered in her golden eyes.
The Golden Dragon Spear had already whistled away.
In her mind, as long as she used the "teleportation" effect of the Golden Dragon Spear, she could close the distance with Huo Yuhao and win outright.
Huo Yuhao looked at the imposing Golden Dragon Spear and quickly retreated. It takes time to cast soul skills, and although he had many, he still needed a moment to activate them. At this moment, he slapped his right hand forward, which instantly turned snow-white.
External Soul Bone Soul Skill — Snow Dance in the Cold Sky.
In an instant, the previously clear sky darkened, and heavy snow-like goose feathers began to fall, rapidly covering the entire Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, turning the world white!
For Huo Yuhao, this didn't consume much soul power, since the snow was harmless and served mainly as a "medium." For example, Shrek Mo Xuan's soul skills also covered large areas, but Mo Xuan was very durable and could cast multiple soul skills without quickly draining his soul power.
He did this mainly to create an icy, snowy environment to his advantage.
"It's snowing," Xuan Ziwen looked up at the heavy snowfall. He subconsciously took out some warm soul guidance devices. Honestly, the temperature wasn't very low now, but once Huo Yuhao released the power of the Ultimate Ice, the entire soul-fighting field would instantly become a frozen cavern. So, this was a precaution.
Jing Hongchen's expression grew serious: "It seems Yuhao is about to get serious. Creating this kind of environment can better unleash the power of the Ultimate Ice. In this match, Yuhao should win; Di Qiuer will probably lose."
He wasn't worried about anyone disturbing the fight between Di Qiu'er and Huo Yuhao because he had already arranged for the director of teaching, Lin Jiayi, to stay nearby. If anyone tried to interfere, they would be told that the chief researcher of Illustrious Virtue Hall was experimenting with a soul guidance device given by Master Kong, and all spectators would be refused.
The Golden Dragon Spear remained unaffected by the heavy snow and continued stabbing toward Huo Yuhao with unwavering momentum. Di Qiu'er relied on her bloodline and martial soul to listen carefully to Xuan Ziwen and Jing Hongchen's words.
She was a little unconvinced. To be honest, in Star Dou Great Forest, she had rarely lost battles against soul beasts of the same strength. When fighting weaker soul beasts, she was almost always victorious. When fighting other powerful beasts, she never lost. So, in Di Qiuer's opinion, she would win this competition.
Because she had only absorbed fragments of Huo Yuhao's memories, she didn't fully understand him. Naturally, she was confident she would win.
Next, the golden dragon spear flew directly at Huo Yuhao's defensive soul guidance shield. Cracks gradually appeared on the shield, indicating it wouldn't last much longer.
At this moment, a golden light flickered, and Di Qiu'er's figure suddenly appeared near the golden spear. Her long hair was flowing, and her body radiated golden light. She looked powerful, with golden dragon heads appearing on her fists.
"Xue Di, just do it! But don't cause serious harm," Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection, linked to the Snow Empress, transmitted his command.
Hearing this, the Snow Empress immediately acted, using the Snow Empress's Three Ultimate Skills directly against Qiu'er.
To be honest, although the Golden Dragon Spear was powerful, its true strength depended on who wielded it. If in the hands of a weaker soul beast, its power would be limited. But now, Di Qiu'er was just a soul ancestor—she couldn't fully unleash the spear's might.
"Empress's Chill — Snowy Dance of Ultimate Ice!"
The goose-feather snow, which had fallen from the sky, suddenly grew colder and turned into icy ridges falling downward.
"Empress's Palm — Snowless Glacier!"
The Snow Empress struck toward Di Qiu'er.
Di Qiu'er had just been teleported here. How could she react instantly? She forcefully caught the Empress's palm strike. The extreme cold surprised her, and almost immediately her entire body was covered in ice. However, because of her golden dragon body, she wasn't seriously injured.
But at this moment, a look of surprise appeared on her face. She recognized the Snow Empress, having seen it before through Di Tian's descriptions. According to what Di Tian told her, she knew the Snow Empress's three unique skills.
So, the little girl just now used two of the Snow Empress's three skills? How is that possible?
Hasn't the Snow Empress always been able to perform all three secret skills?
Di Qiu'er dared not be careless. She immediately grabbed the Golden Dragon Spear, letting herself fall downward to avoid being hit by the next Empress's Sword. Doubts arose in her mind.
She was sure that this method couldn't be a fake Imitation by a soul skill. Or, was that little guy the Snow Empress?
