"Beep...beep...beep..."
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.
Li Bai raised an eyebrow, glanced at the moon that was already high in the sky outside the window, and then thought of the intelligence that Haiyue had kidnapped Zhu Zhuqing.
He suddenly realized what was going on, and a sly smile that any man would understand appeared on his face.
"Cough cough."
Li Bai put away his communicator and shrugged at the crowd.
"Excuse me, everyone, my dean is currently... probably busy with something very important."
"Not just busy, but... extremely overworked."
Poseidon, Ning Fengzhi, and the others exchanged glances. Although they didn't know what it was about, since Li Bai had said so, they didn't dare to ask any more questions.
"Then... what do we do now?" Ning Fengzhi asked.
Li Bai stood up, stretched, and his smell of alcohol instantly transformed into a sharp sword aura, causing the surrounding air to freeze.
Let's go.
"Since the dean is busy, let's go to our usual spot and wait for him."
"Where to?" Poseidon asked.
Li Bai looked into the distance, in the direction of Wuhun City.
"The Spirit Hall".
"The dean will go there to take over the territory sooner or later. Let's go there first and help him warm up the place."
"By the way... let those blind fools see who really calls the shots in Douluo Continent now."
The far north, the core area.
The cold wind howled, swirling up thousands of piles of snow.
The temperature here is frighteningly low; even a powerful expert at the Title Douluo level would likely be frozen solid if they entered this place.
As far as the eye could see, all that could be seen was a vast expanse of white.
There were no signs of life, only eternal ice and thick snow.
In this boundless expanse of white, two beautiful figures stood out conspicuously.
One of them was petite, wearing a long turquoise dress, with pigtails hanging down her back, exuding a quirky and mischievous charm.
At this moment, the little girl was kicking a snowball at her feet, completely bored.
"boring."
"This is so boring!"
Hyotei pouted, her emerald green eyes filled with annoyance.
She kicked the snowdrift in front of her hard, sending sparkling snowflakes flying everywhere.
"Sister, we've been in this wretched place for hundreds of thousands of years."
"Every day it's just snow and ice, and there's no one to talk to except that stupid bear."
"I'm practically moldy!"
Beside her stood a tall woman in a snow-white dress.
She was extremely beautiful.
It was a kind of ethereal, otherworldly beauty, with skin as white as snow, even more translucent than the surrounding ice and snow.
Her long, white hair danced in the wind, exuding a cool and noble air.
It was none other than the Snow Emperor, the leader of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North.
The Snow Empress ignored the Ice Empress's complaints, her sky-blue eyes fixed on the golden list in the sky.
It wasn't until she saw Li Bai's name and the string of rewards that a ripple appeared in her originally calm eyes.
"Bing'er, did you see that?"
Xue Di's voice was ethereal and melodious, like ice beads falling onto a jade plate.
"That guy named Li Bai can kill a demigod at level 98."
"Such strength would be considered top-tier even in our far north."
Hyotei pursed his lips and crossed his arms.
"I saw it, I saw it."
"He's just a human practicing swordsmanship."
"but..."
Hyotei changed the subject, her big eyes darting around, a look of curiosity on her face.
"This Li Bai is so talented, yet he's only a guest advisor at the Jixia Academy."
"Just who is this guy named Qianyu?"
When the name "Chiyu" was mentioned, Xue Di's gaze deepened.
Since the list of successful candidates was published, this name has appeared far too frequently.
Whether it's the Jixia Academy, which ranks first on the power list, or the string of powerful figures who depend on him, all of them demonstrate the strength of this man.
"It can make so many powerful people submit to it, and even a being like the Silver Dragon King is willing to be subordinate to it."
"This Qianyu is definitely not simple."
"It's snow," the Snow Empress said softly.
Her tone surprisingly carried a hint of admiration.
Having dominated the far north for hundreds of thousands of years, she had witnessed countless disparities in strength and the law of the jungle.
But this was the first time she had ever seen a human like Qianyu who could single-handedly stir up trouble across the entire continent.
"Sister, you haven't fallen for her, have you?"
Hyotei leaned close to Yuki-tei and teased her with a mischievous grin.
"I've heard that Qianyu is extremely handsome and surrounded by beautiful women."
"Look at those rewards on the list of winners, like divine soul rings and divine power."
"If we could get some to try, maybe the risk of having to undergo a transformation and rebuild our bodies wouldn't be so great."
Upon hearing this, Xue Di did not show any embarrassment or anger on her beautiful face. Instead, she nodded very seriously.
"He is indeed a rare and extraordinary man."
"If I had the chance, I would really like to meet him."
"Let's see what kind of person has such courage."
For the strong, whether human or spirit beast, there is an instinctive attraction.
Moreover, the profound strength that Qianyu displayed was fatally tempting to them, who had been constantly threatened by the Heavenly Tribulation.
Hyotei's eyes lit up, and they immediately seized the opportunity.
"Since you want to see him, let's go!"
"Anyway, I've had enough of this far north. I can't even see a bird here."
"I've heard there are lots of fun things to do at Jixia Academy, and there's also a girl named Xiao Qiao."
"I saw her description on the list before; she also plays with fans, which should be quite interesting."
Hyotei became more and more excited as he talked, and he almost jumped up.
She had been wanting to go out and have fun for a long time.
Previously, the fear was that there were too many powerful beings in the human world, making it unsafe.
But now it seems that the world has changed.
You only get to eat meat if you follow the strong.
Rather than waiting to die in this frozen wasteland, why not venture into the wonderful human world?
Snow Empress turned around, her gaze sweeping over the far northern wilderness she had protected for countless years.
A hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Alright."
"Stillness breeds restlessness."
"We should go out for a walk too."
"Let's go and see this Qianyu, and see what's so special about this Jixia Academy."
Hyotei cheered and immediately took Yuki's arm.
"That's amazing, sister!"
"Let's go!"
"Let's go play with that Xiao Qiao, and while we're at it... let's also meet up with that Qian Yu!"
Two figures transformed into streaks of light in the wind and snow, speeding off towards the south.
Only the ancient, unchanging ice field remained behind them, still deathly silent.
...
The images flow.
At this time, outside Jialing Pass, the night was as dark as ink.
The atmosphere inside the Heavenly Dou Allied Forces' camp was extremely tense.
Central command tent.
A huge military map lay flat on the table, densely covered with small flags representing the forces of various sides.
