Chapter 265: The Four Ultimate Techniques of Bei
Ever since Tang San once discovered that the killing intent from the two of them would suddenly vanish at its peak, he had gotten into the habit of tailing and observing them after matches in the Slaughter Arena.
Now, once again seeing them suppress their murderous aura completely, his curiosity reached its peak. After all, even with his orthodox Daoist cultivation method, the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he could only suppress his inner killing intent and external murderous aura, and even then, he still had to occasionally rely on the effects of the Bloody Mary.
However, given his relationship with the two, Tang San didn't believe they would tell him their secret technique. He could only sigh helplessly and leave, making plans for later.
After helping the Little Angel stabilize the imperial court of Heaven Dou, Ning Bei went straight back to the sect. After exchanging views with Ning Fengzhi about the current continental situation, she went directly to Nami's room.
"Master, did you need me for something?"
The little girl poked her head out. Seeing it was her master, her eyes lit up slightly.
"How has your cultivation been recently?"
"Ah? Not bad. My cultivation has already reached close to level 53."
"Nami, if there were an opportunity placed before you, one that, if successful, would grant unimaginable benefits, but whose consequences if failed are unknown even to me, would you be willing to try?"
Nami was stunned on the spot. This was the first time she had seen her master so serious. After a moment of contemplation, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.
"Master, I'm willing to try."
"Very good. As expected of my disciple. This is a head soul bone and the immortal herb 'Water-Seeking Autumn Dew.' Absorb them first; they will be of some help for the opportunity ahead."
A crystal-clear skull appeared in Ning Bei's hand. Nami was no longer the naïve little girl she had been; she naturally understood how rare such a soul bone was, let alone the immortal herb, whose value exceeded that of the soul bone. Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, she looked doubtfully at her master.
"Master, I haven't made any real contributions to the sect… isn't this a bit too much?"
"Silly girl, if you can obtain the opportunity ahead, your contribution to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will be immeasurable. These items are only meant to increase your chances of success."
"I understand, Master."
Hearing Ning Bei's explanation, Nami no longer refused, taking the soul bone from her master's hand with a strong sense of duty.
This soul bone was one of the ones Ning Bei had pried from Bibi Dong. Letting Nami absorb it now was a perfect use for it.
As Nami went into seclusion to absorb the soul bone, Ning Bei finally enjoyed some leisure time and returned to the Ice God Hall to continue researching her soul skills.
Aside from her Ice Wheel Pellet · Falling Frost Ice Break, she intended to test another move—using her domain to produce countless smooth, hard ice crystal particles, then unleashing a full-power Lightspeed Kick into them. The light energy would be infinitely refracted through the ice crystals, making it impossible for the opponent to guard against, because even Ning Bei herself wouldn't know from which direction the refracted light would strike—or perhaps it would strike from everywhere at once.
After some testing, Ning Bei found the move indeed feasible. In fact, after being refracted through the ice crystals, the light energy's power did not diminish but became even stronger.
Overjoyed, she summoned Sword and Bone to the Ice God Hall again, putting both of them instantly on high alert.
This time, they had learned their lesson. They activated their Martial Soul True Bodies right away, not daring to be careless.
Looking at the giant ancient tree and Seven Kill Sword suspended in the air inside the Ice God Hall, Ning Bei's face was all smiles.
"Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, here I come. Be ready."
"Bring it on, Bei'er!"
Seeing the two of them had already unleashed defensive soul skills, Ning Bei immediately spread her Permafrost Domain. Countless tiny ice crystals, formed from moisture in the air, filled the entire Ice God Hall.
Up to this point, Chen Xin had yet to feel any threat from the move. But after the last experience, he dared not underestimate it and quietly waited for what came next.
"Aurora · Diamond Starlight!"
As Ning Bei's right leg unleashed a Lightspeed Kick, a beam of light shot straight toward the ice crystals in the sky. After colliding, the light began to split and intensify, weaving a massive web of holy light throughout the Ice God Hall, surging toward Sword and Bone.
This web wasn't meant to trap—it carried an aura so terrifying that the two immediately changed expressions. Their defensive soul skills flared to full power, wrapping themselves inside.
Their defenses blocked part of the light, but much more seeped through from all directions like maggots gnawing into bone.
Crackcrack—the sound of eggshells breaking rang out slowly, followed by the muffled groans of Chen Xin and Gu Rong.
The bone dragon's armor and Chen Xin's sword formation began to fracture from within. Dozens of seconds later, Ning Bei dispersed the countless ice crystals, and the light's power slowly faded until it stopped.
"Huff… huff…"
"Bei'er, next time you want to test a move, can't you find someone else? These old bones of ours really can't take it."
Gu Rong and Chen Xin looked miserable. Their once-elegant clothing was torn and tattered, and their bodies were covered in blood marks and holes—wounds caused by the slicing and piercing of high-speed light. Moreover, after so much contact with the ice crystals, the light carried an icy power, leaving them feeling chilled to the bone and extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing their pitiful state, Ning Bei looked embarrassed, a trace of guilt in her heart. She quickly tossed two Restorative Pills to them.
After taking the pills, their injuries slowly improved. They glanced nervously at the many pits the light had blasted into the ground.
"Your ideas really are out of this world… and the worst part is, you actually make them work. You're a monster."
"At this point, I think soul rings are nothing but shackles for you."
Chen Xin looked at the grandson who had once needed his protection, his eyes full of pride.
"Haha, just luck. Not worthy of such praise from my grandpas."
With the test complete and confirmed as viable, Ning Bei began experimenting with other moves—for example, merging her body completely with ice elements, becoming pure ice. This inspiration came from a certain general, and as long as her soul power wasn't exhausted, the enemy could not physically touch her true body.
It was essentially a life-saving divine skill, which she named Ice God's Body.
A good move needed a striking name; otherwise, how was it different from a normal attack?
Next, Ning Bei developed another move based on Ice God's Body called Moko Botomo, freezing time and space completely within a certain area. The space would become entirely still, and only she—also in Ice God's Body form—could move freely.
It had the flair of a certain country's "time stop" techniques.
Ning Bei collectively named these four self-created soul skills the Bei's Four Ultimate Techniques. This shocked the Three Great Beasts of the Extreme North in her mind, who called her a monster, while Tian Meng excitedly asked if she could go ahead and complete the seventh trial.
After thinking for a moment, Ning Bei gave up on the idea. She planned to finish Nami's matter first before attempting her seventh trial. Who knew—maybe during that time she'd have another burst of inspiration and make it reality?
Wouldn't that make the trial rewards even more generous?
