In the far north, a snowman suddenly shook, then let out a wild laugh. Snow fell, revealing Ye Nanxiao's youthful face.
An invisible spiritual force spread around Ye Nanxiao, finally feeding back to his senses, then scattering outwards again, repeating the cycle.
Ye Nanxiao could basically sense the trajectory of the snowflakes and whether there were any living creatures nearby.
"Although it's just an outward projection of spiritual force, I still need to give it a good name."
After thinking for a long time, Ye Nanxiao decided to call this self-created skill "Mind's Eye."
"I don't think it sounds good, it doesn't have any domineering feeling.
Your naming ability needs improvement." Xue Di crossed her arms, with an expression that said, "Little brother, you're not good enough."
Ye Nanxiao looked embarrassed, coughed twice, and said perfunctorily, "Alright, alright, it's just a move, it's good enough that it has a name."
"Under the Mind's Eye, who can betray me?"
Ye Nanxiao sighed slightly, his little face full of pride.
However, the Mind's Eye was just Ye Nanxiao's self-created skill, which could not reach the level of Huo's mental detection.
It could only see the existence in the form of energy, which was somewhat similar to energy sensing, only the amount of energy seen was a bit too much.
Ye Nanxiao stood up, brushing off the remaining snow from his clothes. A hint of pride appeared on his youthful face.
After several days of in-depth understanding of his martial soul, Ye Nanxiao discovered that his own martial soul was special.
Unlike ordinary people's inanimate objects, his martial soul was "alive," meaning the Nine-Tailed Snow Fox was Ye Nanxiao himself, and he seemed to be a demon.
A living martial soul was strange, but Ye Nanxiao's physical strength was constantly and slowly increasing, all thanks to this martial soul.
"So, as a demon, will I be ostracized by the world?"
Ye Nanxiao sat down cross-legged to think.
"I have half human blood and half nine-tailed fox blood.
This world doesn't have demons, so if I cultivate my bloodline, I might be rejected.
It's best to wait until I have accumulated enough before cultivating; that would be safer."
"I need to improve quickly; I'm still too weak now.
If I catch the wave of soul tools, then it'll be simpler.
I'll first see what bloodline abilities I can currently use."
Ye Nanxiao placed his hands on his knees, closed his eyes, and focused his mind on his body, calling upon his bloodline.
Through bloodline connection, Ye Nanxiao obtained the name "Qingqiu."
His first thought was that his original world had demons?
Then he wondered if he had incredibly lucky blood in his past life, having obtained the bloodline of the great demon of Qingqiu in a dilapidated fox temple.
"So, that temple, that fox statue, was alive?
A lucky surprise?
No, it must have been for me, after all, I'm so lucky!" Ye Nanxiao chuckled.
Hearing Ye Nanxiao's silly laughter, Xue Di raised her eyebrows slightly and instinctively reached out to pat him awake.
When Xue Di suddenly appeared beside Ye Nanxiao and patted his head, she froze, and Ye Nanxiao, who was laughing foolishly, also froze.
"How did you appear?"
Ye Nanxiao touched the spot on his head where he had been patted.
"I thought, so I came out."
Xue Di also touched her hand, still feeling a little bit of sensation.
Xue Di stared at Ye Nanxiao for a while, then gently pinched Ye Nanxiao's face with one hand and pulled it outwards.
"Hey! What are you doing!"
Ye Nanxiao slapped Xue Di's hand away, glaring at her in displeasure.
"Oh, nothing, just checking if it's real. So, what state am I in now?"
Xue Di didn't seem to care at all about Ye Nanxiao's action of slapping her hand away.
"I think you're currently in spirit form."
As Ye Nanxiao began to think, he felt the connection between himself and Xue Di.
Xue Di appeared beside Ye Nanxiao in spirit form, which meant she could manipulate his soul power to attack.
Xue Di suddenly reached out and pinched Ye Nanxiao's cheek hard, making him jump around in pain before letting go.
"It feels really nice," Xue Di laughed.
"Of course! I'm naturally beautiful!" Ye Nanxiao rubbed his cheek, boasting with a face full of resentment.
Although Xue Di knew Ye Nanxiao's spiritual power was strong and vast, she hadn't expected it to be this vast.
In spirit form, Xue Di stayed outside for about ten minutes before transforming into a stream of light and returning to Ye Nanxiao's body.
However, to allow the Snow Empress's spirit to manifest and move for over ten minutes, Ye Nanxiao's mental strength was at the Master level, especially since the Snow Empress was a ferocious beast-level soul beast.
"Uh, so this is what they mean by transmigrators having cheat codes?
But my martial soul isn't a mental attribute," Ye Nanxiao thought.
After a while, the Snow Empress reappeared.
This time, she ignored Ye Nanxiao, who was covering his cheeks warily, and slowly walked in the opposite direction.
When she reached about seventy steps, the Snow Empress felt an invisible barrier blocking her way, and a faint force pulling at her.
She turned to Ye Nanxiao and said, "It seems my current range of movement is only about seventy steps in radius."
Ye Nanxiao nodded, considering his future main cultivation direction.
Having decided on the control system, his first priority wasn't cultivating soul power, but rather training his body and close-combat skills.
Although he chose the control system, Ye Nanxiao felt he could also cultivate a secondary offensive system, since his physical strength was constantly improving.
Having determined his cultivation method, Ye Nanxiao only had one thing on his mind: finding a set of clothes.
-
Divider Snow Empress floated beside Ye Nanxiao, raising her hand to summon a fierce blizzard that assaulted his body.
Under the knife-like impact of the blizzard, Ye Nanxiao's body was quickly covered with wounds, and in the extreme cold, the wounds were immediately covered with a layer of frost.
The Snow Empress only stopped when Ye Nanxiao could no longer hold on.
Feeling the pain throughout his body, Ye Nanxiao breathed heavily, circulating his soul power to heal his injuries, then continuing the cycle.
"I'm not practicing anymore, it's time to eat."
Ye Nanxiao patted the snow off his body, walked behind a sheltered ice block, and put on the fur he had painstakingly "borrowed."
"Looks like I'll have to 'borrow' some more fur from the snow wolves next time to make another outfit." Ye Nanxiao said, touching his robe.
"The Snow Wolf King should change its hideout; you've been there quite a few times."
The Snow Empress's voice echoed in Ye Nanxiao's mind.
"It's just helping them grow their fur. Besides, I can't be naked, can I?"
Ye Nanxiao said helplessly.
If the Snow Empress were willing to help, he could conjure up a set of clothes, several a day, each different.
Eating, sleeping, and getting beaten up—these three things constituted Ye Nanxiao's daily routine,
and this lifestyle resulted in him being beaten up continuously for half a year.
A block of ice, large enough for three people to hug, was easily shattered by Ye Nanxiao's punch.
In the swirling snow, a child dressed in shorts and a t-shirt stood proudly with his hands on his hips, a snow wolf lying down pretending to be dead beside him.
"Let me put my hands on my hips for a bit, to show off a little," Ye Nanxiao said, closing his eyes, a slight sense of smugness in his heart.
"Waaah!" The Snow Wolf King felt wronged.
This child kept "borrowing" fur from his tribe, and he was inexplicably afraid of this child, being used as a mount.
"What are you doing, Old Bai?
You're ruining the atmosphere!"
Ye Nanxiao glared at the Snow Wolf King , who immediately raised his paws to cover his eyes.
"You're supposed to be a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, aren't you?
How can you, as the Snow Wolf King, hold your head high in the tribe like this?"
The Snow Empress appeared beside Ye Nanxiao, reaching out to pinch Ye Nanxiao's cheek, pinching and squeezing.
"What? At least Old Bai has a coat of shiny white, thick fur.
I only took a little wolf fur."
Ye Nanxiao slapped away Xue Di's little hand, lay down on the spot, and crawled over to lean against the Snow Wolf King's fluffy fur.
Ye Nanxiao felt that his physical strength was no problem facing a level 30 Soul Master head-on.
Although he was only at level 25 Soul Power, Ye Nanxiao estimated that he was only twelve years old.
To improve his physical strength, Ye Nanxiao, under Xue Di's guidance, would occasionally go and fight a few Soul Beasts.
From ten-year Soul Beasts at the beginning to the current thousand-year Soul Beasts, Ye Nanxiao's physical strength was steadily improving.
The only drawback was that Ye Nanxiao's Soul Power cultivation speed was very slow.
Because he was only cultivating on his own, Ye Nanxiao could only circulate his Soul Power ten times a day.
Coupled with Xue Di's deliberate training, his Soul Power growth was slow.
However, Ye Nanxiao was not worried about this at all.
He planned that when he left the far north and arrived in the human world, wouldn't every school have a basic Soul Power cultivation manual?
"Let's go, Old Bai, let's go back." Ye Nanxiao rolled over and lay down on the Snow Wolf King's back, crossing his legs.
The Snow Wolf King roared to the sky and started running through the swirling snow.
As it ran, it was occasionally attracted by the ice discs Ye Nanxiao threw, howling and rushing to grab them.
"Why do I feel like Old Bai is becoming more and more like a husky?
You're supposed to be the alpha wolf!"
Ye Nanxiao said, sighing as he conjured an ice disc and threw it.
"It used to be quite majestic, but it's become like this after hanging out with you," the Snow Empress mocked.
Hearing the Snow Empress's words, Ye Nanxiao stopped conjuring the disc and thought carefully. Could it be his fault?
It seems foxes belong to the canine family.
Just as Ye Nanxiao was lost in thought, the Snow Empress beside him suddenly looked thoughtfully towards the far north.
"What's wrong?
Something's up?"
Ye Nanxiao and the Snow Empress were of one mind; Ye Nanxiao could sense anything amiss immediately.
"A group of humans has arrived, their aura is unstable."
The Snow Empress's face showed displeasure; she disliked humans disturbing the far north.
The Snow Wolf King also sensed the human presence, stopped, and warily looked ahead.
"Let's assess the situation first, Old Bai, hide!" Ye Nanxiao didn't know if the humans ahead were friend or foe, so he hid first.
If they were enemies, he would prepare to kill them with a single blow.
The Snow Wolf King quickly rolled on the snow, burying himself in it.
