Upon hearing what Xueyao said, Yu Tianqing and the others also looked out.
In the distance, on a towering tree...
A bird-like spirit beast flapped its wings and flew over the treetops, then stopped to rest.
This bird-like spirit beast has an elegant appearance, with feathers sculpted like ice crystals, and its wings, when spread out, resemble two transparent ice blades.
Its entire body is snow-white and crystal clear, radiating a dazzling light under the reflection of sunlight.
When flying, it is light and swift.
What else could it be but an Ice Crystal Bird?
The Ice Crystal Bird can cast an Ice Crystal Shield, which can condense a layer of hard ice armor around its body, making it extremely defensive.
At the same time, it can also release cold air to slow down enemies.
"Five hundred years of cultivation is indeed very suitable for Bing'er's second soul ring!"
Liu Erlong said calmly.
After these few days of contact, I have also learned about it.
Shui Bing'er is a control-type Soul Master, and her Martial Soul is the top-tier ice-attribute beast Martial Soul, the Ice Phoenix.
The Ice Crystal Bird, which is five hundred years old, is a perfect match for Shui Bing'er in terms of both age and attributes.
Shui Bing'er's gaze sharpened slightly, her icy blue eyes locking onto the ice crystal bird.
She had been searching for several days, and now that she had finally found a suitable soul beast, she was naturally excited.
"I'll do it!"
Xueyao gave a soft shout and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the distance.
As Shui Bing'er's teacher, his purpose in coming to the Star Dou Great Forest was to help Shui Bing'er hunt for a spirit ring.
"Boom!"
As Xueyao made her move, a powerful aura emanated from her.
The next moment, Xueyao released her martial spirit.
Blue-winged Ice Butterfly!
With the Martial Soul possessing her, five Soul Rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—appeared around Xue Yao's body.
Xueyao is very fast.
Before long, he had reached the towering tree, and with a light touch of his foot, he soared into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the fourth soul ring surrounding Xueyao suddenly lit up.
"Fourth Soul Skill - Chains of Frost!"
Immediately, Xueyao's martial soul, the Ice Butterfly, flapped its enormous blue wings.
"boom!"
A surge of fierce soul power instantly erupted, transforming into chains of icy ice that coiled around the Ice Crystal Bird.
"唳——!"
The ice crystal bird that was originally perched on the tree sensed the danger and let out a piercing scream.
Then it was seen that its wings flapped.
Upon closer inspection, an ice crystal shield instantly solidified in front of the Ice Crystal Bird.
"Bang!"
The icy chains that were coiling around the ice crystal bird were strangely deflected by the ice crystal shield upon impact.
"Um?"
"Such a fast reaction speed!"
Xueyao was slightly startled. She had thought that with her swift and decisive action, the Ice Crystal Bird wouldn't have had time to react.
Before Xueyao could think further, she saw the ice crystal bird move nimbly, its wings fluttering wildly, and it darted away through the forest.
The Ice Crystal Bird isn't stupid either.
They could tell that Xueyao was powerful and that the newcomer had ill intentions.
Xueyao was caught off guard and never expected that the Ice Crystal Bird would be so cunning.
In terms of strength, a 500-year-old Ice Crystal Bird is only equivalent to a Great Soul Master.
Xueyao, on the other hand, is a level 53 Soul King.
Logically speaking, she should have been able to easily defeat the ice crystal bird without it being able to fight back.
I was too careless before.
The Ice Crystal Bird was very fast, and flew a long distance in the blink of an eye.
Not far away, Shuiyue'er saw this and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"not good!"
"The Ice Crystal Bird is trying to escape!"
Seeing this, Shui Bing'er also looked anxious!
It's not easy to encounter an Ice Crystal Bird that's five hundred years old.
If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you'll be able to find a suitable soul beast again.
Just then, Yu Tianqing suddenly exclaimed in surprise:
"Xiao Qing!"
As Yu Tianqing's clear voice rang out.
Immediately afterwards, the Martial Soul Xiao Qing appeared.
A young blue dragon soared into the sky, its dragon power vast and mighty.
"roar!"
The dragon roared, and all the beasts trembled in fear.
Even the ice crystal birds that were hurriedly fleeing were stunned at this moment.
Although Xiaoqing has undergone its third transformation, it is still in the form of a young dragon, only its size is larger than before.
Its dragon scales became even more lustrous, and its horns began to take shape.
After appearing, Xiaoqing immediately used her innate skill, Cloud Riding, and hovered in mid-air.
A pair of dragon eyes locked onto the ice crystal bird!
Before Shui Bing'er and the others could recover from their shock,
The next moment, a purple thousand-year soul ring shone from beneath Yu Tianqing's feet.
"ah?"
"That's... a thousand-year soul ring?"
Upon witnessing this scene, Xueyao's pupils constricted, her face filled with disbelief.
Meanwhile, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were also dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
"How is that possible?"
"His first spirit ring was a thousand years old?"
Shui Bing'er muttered in astonishment, somewhat unable to believe what she was seeing.
"Oh my god!"
"Is that a thousand-year soul ring?"
"Little Brother Tianqing's first spirit ring is already at the thousand-year level?"
Shui Yue'er exclaimed in surprise, her face filled with disbelief.
Liu Erlong was not shocked by this, as he already knew about Yu Tianqing's situation.
Just as Xueyao and the other two women were in shock, Yu Tianqing gathered his soul power, lightly touched the ground with his feet, and soared into the sky.
When they looked again, the person was already standing on Xiaoqing's dragon back.
Shui Bing'er stared at Yu Tianqing, her heart beating slightly faster.
Wow! Tianqing is so handsome!
Shuiyue'er, standing to the side, was quite direct, unable to stop praising him.
Liu Erlong smiled helplessly, thinking that his little nephew really liked to show off.
She had originally intended to intervene, but seeing Yu Tianqing step forward, she crossed her arms and smiled slightly.
"Since this kid wants to show off."
"It's good to let him practice."
"If I can't handle it, I'll just capture that Ice Crystal Bird again!"
Yu Tianqing and Xiaoqing were of one mind, and they ignored the shock of Xueyao and the other girls.
"call out!"
The next moment, Xiao Qing carried Yu Tianqing and flew into the air towards the five-hundred-year-old ice crystal bird.
Upon seeing this, the ice crystal bird's pupils flashed with surprise, and it quickly recovered from its shock.
"flutter..."
Then, it flapped its wings, intending to continue its escape.
However, Xiao Qing was very fast, and in just a few breaths, she had caught up with the Ice Crystal Bird and caught up to it.
At the same time, Chen Qingfeng's first spirit ring, which surrounded him, suddenly shone brightly.
"First Soul Skill: Heart of Wood!!"
Yu Tianqing gave a low shout.
Then it became clear that under the blazing light of the millennium soul ring, the surrounding trees seemed to come alive, and the vines grew wildly.
In a short while, countless vines intertwined to form a giant net, completely blocking the Ice Crystal Bird's escape route!
"What?"
"How is this possible?"
"Plant-based control soul skills?"
Xueyao was stunned when she saw this scene, her face full of disbelief.
It should be noted that Yu Tianqing's martial soul is a beast martial soul.
The prototype of the Beast Martial Soul is the Soul Beast, and its manifestation is the Martial Soul Possession.
When a Soul Master is possessed by a Martial Soul, their body undergoes changes, acquiring the characteristics and abilities of a Soul Beast.
Plant-based martial souls belong to the category of weapon martial souls, which are inanimate objects or weapons.
Its manifestation is concrete, that is, the martial spirit separates from the soul master's body and transforms into the soul master's weapon.
Yu Tianqing, however, broke this rule.
Firstly, when its martial soul, Xiao Qing, was released, it did not attach itself to Yu Tianqing, but rather materialized externally like a weapon martial soul.
In addition, the soul skill used is a plant-based control skill.
This left Xueyao somewhat bewildered!
"What's wrong with Tianqing?"
Xueyao was secretly surprised and puzzled, unable to understand why.
