Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow contained extremely pure ice-attribute energy and pristine cold qi. It was one of the most suitable heavenly treasures for ice-attribute Spirit Masters. Absorbing it could increase cultivation and even improve cultivation speed to a certain extent.
"Mm~~"
The moment Shui Wuhen took out the jade box, Articuno suddenly turned its head. Its crimson eyes stared fixedly at the fragment of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow in Shui Wuhen's hand.
Seeing this, Shui Wuhen was slightly stunned, then picked up the fragment and tossed it to Articuno.
Although Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow was practically a legendary treasure for ice-attribute Spirit Masters, since Articuno wanted it, Shui Wuhen naturally felt no reluctance.
"Mm~~"
Articuno opened its mouth and swallowed the fragment, instantly devouring all the extreme cold energy within it.
Afterward, Articuno revealed a look of longing—it wasn't enough, not nearly enough.
Seeing this, Shui Wuhen patted Articuno's head and comforted it, "Don't worry. When we get stronger, we'll go across the continent to search for Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow."
Hearing Shui Wuhen's words, Articuno calmed down and nodded slightly.
"However, for that Fallen to possess a fragment of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow… I wonder where he got it from."
Shui Wuhen muttered thoughtfully.
If he could trace the whereabouts of that Fallen, he might be able to find clues about the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Shui Wuhen's eyes flashed. He immediately sent his spiritual power back into the necklace-like storage soul tool.
A moment later, the corner of his lips curled slightly as a thick parchment notebook appeared in his hand.
This Fallen actually kept a diary!
......
Several days later, Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.
Shui Wuhen looked at the students from Godwind Academy across from him and raised an eyebrow. "Why is it you? Where's Feng Xiaotian?"
In this preliminary round, the only battle he was somewhat looking forward to was against Feng Xiaotian. After all, the others weren't even Spirit Kings and couldn't spark his interest at all.
Moreover, six years had passed since his last fight with Feng Xiaotian. He also wanted to see just how much progress Feng Xiaotian had made to be so confident.
"The captain has something to attend to recently. He went out with Dean Feng Qingcang and can't fight you."
Seeing Shui Wuhen's confusion, the vice-captain of Godwind Academy answered.
Hearing this, Shui Wuhen said with some disappointment, "Then make your move."
Since Feng Xiaotian wasn't here, he might as well finish these people quickly and return to cultivation.
At the side, Shui Bing'er pouted slightly.
She felt a bit dissatisfied. She didn't understand why Shui Wuhen cared so much about Feng Xiaotian. Was it just because he was a Spirit King?
But Feng Xiaotian was already twenty-four, while she was only sixteen. In at most two more years, she would also become a Spirit King.
"The match begins!"
As the referee gave the order, the students of Godwind Academy immediately flew into the air and tightly grouped together, afraid they would be instantly defeated like Thunderclap Academy.
Seeing this, Shui Bing'er suggested to Shui Wuhen, "Brother, how about the two of us go together?"
In Tianshui Academy, only Shui Wuhen and Shui Bing'er possessed the ability to fly.
Now that the opponents had flown into the sky and were desperately defending, although Shui Bing'er didn't think her brother would lose, it wouldn't be easy for one person to defeat them all.
Especially in the Elite Tournament arena—if he failed to control himself and killed someone, he would be disqualified.
"No need!"
Shaking his head, Shui Wuhen refused her suggestion. Then he said to Articuno above his head, "Articuno, clear them off the field!"
"Mm~~~"
At his command, Articuno flapped its wings. Instantly, a violent gale mixed with icy spikes swept across the entire arena.
In that moment, the members of Godwind Academy felt themselves struck repeatedly by incoming ice spikes. Unable to maintain stable flight, they were blown by the freezing gale straight into the outer walls of the arena.
After finishing all this, Articuno's body rapidly shrank and landed on Shui Wuhen's shoulder.
At the same time, the entire venue fell silent once more.
One move—again just one move!
This time, it was even more decisive than when he fought Thunderclap Academy.
Seeing this, Emperor Xue Ye in the VIP seats once again felt waves of shock surge through his heart.
This wasn't merely the potential of a Title Douluo—this was another rising Tang Chen in the Spirit Master world!
If he could be recruited to the Heaven Dou imperial family, it would guarantee at least a century of peace for the Heaven Dou Empire.
A glint flashed in Emperor Xue Ye's eyes. It seemed they could no longer afford to wait.
"Hiss~"
Beside Emperor Xue Ye, an emaciated old man next to Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.
Seeing his shock, Ning Fengzhi teased, "Uncle Bone, feeling the pressure? If I remember correctly, at his age, you had only just broken through to Spirit Elder, right?"
That's right—the withered old man beside Ning Fengzhi was one of the two Title Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Bone Douluo—Gu Rong!
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's teasing, Bone Douluo muttered, "Did this kid start cultivating in his mother's womb? Otherwise, how could he be this strong at just sixteen?"
He had also been a top genius in his youth, but compared to the current Shui Wuhen, he was clearly outclassed.
While Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo were talking, Platinum Bishop Salas, seated in the same row, had a somewhat solemn expression.
This Shui Wuhen's combat power was simply too strong.
Based on what he had shown so far, he already surpassed any individual from Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.
Although Hu Liena and Xie Yue of the Golden Generation had their martial soul fusion technique as a trump card, Shui Wuhen had yet to reveal his full strength.
They didn't even know his exact level, because from beginning to end, Shui Wuhen had only revealed two spirit rings and had never gone all out.
They could only infer from available information that Shui Wuhen was definitely not an ordinary Spirit King.
While everyone was still shocked by Shui Wuhen's strength, in the Sunset Forest hundreds of miles away from Heaven Dou City, a gaunt old man was leading a handsome young man deeper into the forest.
"Xiaotian, weren't you looking forward to fighting Shui Wuhen? Why have you given it up at the last moment?"
At this moment, Feng Qingcang glanced at the young man beside him and asked curiously.
Listening to Feng Qingcang, Feng Xiaotian replied firmly, "I've already waited six years—I don't mind waiting a bit longer. Anyway, Elephant Armor, Blazing Fire, and Thunderclap Academies have already been defeated by Godwind Academy. Even without me, Godwind can still advance.
As for the battle with Shui Wuhen, I want to face him at my strongest state."
