All the students understood what Wang Dong had said at first, but no one understood his last sentence. What was a class promotion exam?
Wang Yan calmly said, "Each class is a team. If the entire team isn't promoted, how can individual members be promoted? Actually, the class promotion assessment is for Teacher Zhou Yi and me. We will select three to seven students to participate in this special assessment. Then, based on the team's mission completion score, the class's level will be determined. If the mission can be completed perfectly, all students who pass the individual assessment can become second-year students. However, if the mission is not completed perfectly, the number of students will be reduced based on the score achieved. In other words, if all students in our class pass the individual assessment, but our class only completes 90% of the special assessment, then 10% of the lowest-ranked students will be eliminated based on the score sheet."
After hearing his explanation, all the students understood, but at the same time, their mouths hung open in astonishment. They had thought this month would be an opportunity to relax and play, so everyone's faces had been beaming. This was especially true for those students with relatively high cultivation. They all thought that the upcoming promotion assessment wouldn't be too difficult, and they certainly hadn't expected there to be a special assessment as well.
Wang Yan smiled gently, but his voice contained a hint of coldness. "I think, if any students chosen for the team participating in the special assessment make a mistake, the rest of you should remember them. If you have any grievances later, just find that person and deal with them."
"I also graduated from Shrek Academy back then. In my experience, the truly most relaxed time is after passing the promotion exam. This one-month break is almost a period of living in earthly hell. Unless you don't want to continue staying at the academy, otherwise, I think you already know in your hearts what you need to do after returning home."
"That's all I wanted to say. Class dismissed. Go back to your dorms and pack your things."
After Wang Yan finished speaking, he waved his hand, announcing the end of class.
The group of students still hadn't calmed down. The excitement they had felt earlier had completely vanished without a trace. They all had to fight century-old soul beasts alone? Was this a mission that a Two-Ring Great Soul Master could complete? Although most of them had century-old soul rings, how many had personally hunted and killed such soul beasts to obtain their own soul rings? Not to mention the special assessment for class promotion.
Wang Dong forced a smile and looked at Huo Yuhao, saying, "Do you think I'll be part of that special assessment?"
Huo Yuhao glanced at him and replied, "You guess, Class Leader Wang."
Wang Dong stood up irritably and said, "Alright, what's there to guess! Let's go, back to the dorms to cultivate. One more day of cultivation means one less day of worry. Later, we'll have a better chance of passing the assessment. Don't worry, I'll volunteer to participate. You can rest assured and stay behind."
"Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao, you two stay for a moment."
Zhou Yi's cold voice rang out.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong quickly stopped, while the other students slowly left. Wang Yan and Zhou Yi told the two of them to come to the front of the podium. Zhou Yi asked, "What do you two think about what Teacher Wang just said about the class promotion assessment?"
Wang Dong reluctantly said...
"How else could it be seen? The two disciples will definitely participate! Oh, I forgot, Xiao Xiao too."
Xiao Xiao had already merged with that Soul Bone, so her strength had significantly increased. Moreover, she possessed Twin Martial Souls. Although her soul power didn't grow as quickly as Wang Dong's, her cultivation could be said to be among the top in the class.
Wang Yan nodded and said, "You two must participate. I'm not yet clear on the specific details of the assessment, but in the coming month, you must continuously strive. Huo Yuhao, how is the issue with your second Soul Ring? Are there any problems?"
Huo Yuhao immediately shook his head and said, "No problems, Teacher."
He answered with a nervous heart, afraid that Wang Yan would ask more questions and expose his secret. Fortunately, Wang Yan only asked one question and then stopped, evidently trusting him completely.
Zhou Yi said, "The second-year curriculum will be even more intense than the first year. I don't want to say too much. As class monitors, you two should try to return to school a bit early after this holiday. Approximately ten days before the assessment, Teacher Wang and I will know the content of the class assessment. The earlier you return, the more we can prepare."
"Yes."
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong replied in unison.
Zhou Yi said, "Alright then, go."
"Goodbye, Teacher Zhou, Teacher Wang, see you again."
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong respectfully bowed to their two teachers. About to part ways temporarily, they felt a little reluctant in their hearts.
However, their plan to return to the dormitory to continue cultivating could not be carried out, because as soon as they stepped out, they saw Xiao Xiao waiting at the door, with Bei Bei and Tang Ya beside her. As a result, Huo Yuhao's unintentional words from yesterday suddenly came true: he had to grill fish for everyone to eat.
Today's gathering wasn't just for the five of them. Huo Yuhao also invited his senior brother, He Taitou, to join the fun. The six of them gathered together, lively and boisterous, and the party lasted until late into the night. From beginning to end, Huo Yuhao didn't tell anyone where he would go to find his second Soul Ring, so that lie was ultimately not exposed.
The next morning.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong walked together on the path beside Seagod Lake. Since both of them had storage Soul Tools, they didn't need to carry anything. The two walked slowly, the atmosphere heavy and silent.
By the shore of Seagod Lake, gusts of wind blew, bringing with them abundant moisture, so much so that their uniforms became a little damp. Although this path was very long, it eventually reached its end. Under the shining sunlight, the moisture gradually dispersed.
"I'm leaving now. I'll try to come back soon. You go too."
Wang Dong turned to look at Huo Yuhao and said. Huo Yuhao felt that his friend's eyes were a little red.
Eleven months, they had been together for all that time, almost day and night. How could feelings not develop? Although they were only parting for a short while, they both felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
Wang Dong left a sentence and immediately ran out of the academy like a gust of wind. He didn't look back, tears uncontrollably streaming down his face, his mouth continuously muttering, "Huo Yuhao, you idiot."
Huo Yuhao stood watching Wang Dong's figure disappear before turning back to look at Shrek Academy, thinking to himself...
"Teacher Xiao Ya, Senior Brother, Brother He, Teacher Zhou, Teacher Fan Yu, Teacher Wang, I'm leaving now. When I return, I'll give you all a huge surprise. I swear, I will definitely make those who looked down on my white Spirit Ring tremble in fear when they see it again. I'll be back very, very soon."
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, before he began to run north.
For a twelve-year-old child like Huo Yuhao, the feeling of separation wasn't too overwhelming. After running for a while, he already felt more at ease, and the sensation of the wind blowing in gusts was somewhat enjoyable.
A year ago at this time, he was still suffering in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, leaving no better than a beggar.
But now, he had almost advanced to the rank of Great Spirit Master of the Control System, and was also a Class Two Soul Engineer. At the same time, he had gained more knowledge in other aspects.
Perhaps, in this year of study, Huo Yuhao was not the fastest improving student, but he was certainly the one who had changed the most. After a year, he had completely transformed, a fact that no one could deny.
"Brother Tian Meng, are we just going to keep heading north like this? Is it far?"
The Heavenly Dream Iceworm had always been a heavy sleeper. It was normal for it not to speak a word to Huo Yuhao for an entire month, only waking up when Huo Yuhao's spirit power reached level twenty. One thing that was a bit unexpected for Huo Yuhao was that the gray old man from last time had shown no activity since then; the gray light sphere lay silently in one spot, without any change. Seeing this, the Heavenly Dream Iceworm even maliciously suggested that perhaps that wisp of divine consciousness had completely dissipated.
But Huo Yuhao knew that if that wisp of divine consciousness dissipated, the light sphere would definitely disappear with it.
The Heavenly Dream Iceworm's languid voice rang out:
"Just keep going, you just need to continue heading north. The journey ahead isn't short. Didn't you often run at the academy? Now that you don't have to carry anything, running is even more comfortable. Let's see, at this speed, it will take at least ten more days to reach our destination."
"What? Ten days?"
Huo Yuhao asked, his eyes wide and his mouth agape.
"Brother Tian Meng, where exactly are we going? Why does it take ten days... My current speed is already very fast. If I go all out, I can cover eight hundred li, if not a thousand, in a day. If it takes ten days to get there, then the distance must be at least eight thousand li, right?"
"Yes, about that. The place we're going is my hometown, the extreme north of the Douluo Continent."
The Heavenly Dream Iceworm said calmly.
"Don't forget, that's the place I'm most familiar with."
Huo Yuhao asked suspiciously:
"Brother Tian Meng, but that's too far. I'm afraid I won't make it back in time for the assessment. Is it possible that only there are there spirit beasts with mental attributes?"
The Heavenly Dream Iceworm said:
"It's not that only there are there spirit beasts with mental attributes; there are some in the Star Dou Great Forest too. But the problem is that you don't just need a simple Spirit Ring; you also need to awaken your second martial spirit. And to do that, there's no place more suitable than this extreme north. I've already prepared everything. You should stop overthinking and speed up to get there as soon as possible. The less time you waste, the sooner you can return. If all goes smoothly, returning to Shrek Academy within a month won't be a problem at all."
As soon as he thought about seizing the opportunity to collect soul rings, Huo Yuhao immediately sped up, quickly adjusted his breathing, and ran straight north.
Yesterday, he had prepared enough dry rations for two days, so he wouldn't have to worry about food for at least the next two days. Moreover, Fan Yu had given him one hundred gold soul coins, which, combined with his savings, would probably be enough.
A year of arduous cultivation had made Huo Yuhao's resilient and tenacious character even more pronounced. Not every powerful soul master could endure such loneliness and solitude. At this moment, Huo Yuhao was completely calm, having cleared all distracting thoughts from his mind. He now only thought about traveling north as quickly as possible. Thus, for the next few days, he would run continuously for two or three hours until his soul power was exhausted, then stop to recover, and immediately get up to continue.
By continuously moving at this maximum speed, even a Three-Ring or Four-Ring powerhouse would not be able to match the distance he covered each day.
Three days passed in a flash. Huo Yuhao increasingly felt the temperature drop. This cold atmosphere forced him to stop and detour into a city to buy warm clothes, some reserve food, and most importantly, a map.
At this point, he had entered the territory of the Tianhun Empire. He only needed to continue north through the Tianhun Empire to reach his destination. It should be known that Shrek Academy was located on the southeastern border of the Tianhun Empire, adjacent to the Xingluo Empire. Huo Yuhao's journey could be described as traveling from south to north, across the entire Tianhun Empire. One could imagine how arduous it was.
However, Huo Yuhao did not feel the hardship; instead, he regarded it as a journey. Nevertheless, apart from this one detour into a city, he did not enter any other cities because he did not have much time to waste. Most of the times he stopped to rest were in desolate areas. Therefore, during that shopping trip, he also conveniently bought a folding tent. This tent was not large; when unfolded, it was only about two meters long and one point two meters wide, but since he was traveling alone, that was sufficient. He felt this was more than enough; after all, during those times, he only sat in meditation and never truly slept.
When he was young, Huo Yuhao had only stayed within the Duke's mansion and had never experienced cold weather. But thanks to a year of arduous training, his body had become much stronger, so after just a few days of adaptation, he no longer felt uncomfortable. This was because he had not bought a sheepskin coat, as it was too expensive; he had only bought a cotton jacket to wear temporarily.
By the eighth day, he finally reached the northern region of the Tianhun Empire, and from here, the map he had bought had no further records.
Huo Yuhao stopped, panting heavily. Each breath he exhaled from his nose and mouth immediately turned into ice shards that scattered into the air.
Huo Yuhao pulled his hood over his head, trying to avoid the biting cold, but the cold air still continuously seeped into his body. In this place, it was truly as the saying goes, water turns to ice! Tiny patches of ice had already formed on his eyelids.
Huo Yuhao looked down at the map in his hand, feeling extremely uneasy. From here, if he continued north, there was nothing more written. There was even a note that read: "Extreme North, a death trap for humans. Soul beasts lurk, dangerous, dangerous, dangerous!"
The last three words "dangerous" were even written in red ink to make them stand out even more.
“Tian Meng Ge, don’t sleep anymore. We need your guidance for the path ahead.”
Huo Yuhao anxiously called out to the Tian Meng Iceworm.
“Guide? Guide what?”
The Tian Meng Iceworm’s drowsy voice echoed. The million-year-old soul beast, the foremost on the Douluo Continent, seemed not to have fully woken up, only speaking again after a few seconds.
“I don’t know this place either.”
“What?”
Huo Yuhao exclaimed in alarm.
“Tian Meng Ge, don’t joke around like that! I listened to you and came all the way here, it took eight days. Now you’re saying you don’t know? What are we supposed to do?”
The Tian Meng Iceworm’s innocent voice rang out.
“I really don’t know. The place I used to live was deep inside, very far from here. And when I came to the Star Dou Great Forest, I drifted there by sea, don’t you remember? I guess this place is probably in the Central-North part of the continent, which was the Northwest part of the Douluo Continent before. How would I know the way?”
Huo Yuhao quickly cried out, “So what do we do now? Tian Meng Ge…”
The Tian Meng Iceworm chuckled mischievously, “Your flustered look is really funny. Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. It’s true that I don’t know the way, but have you forgotten my special skill? I still have powerful spiritual energy. Right now, I don’t know the way, but I can find our target, isn’t that the same? Oh, right, take off all your clothes.”
Huo Yuhao was stunned and said, “Take off my clothes? Why? It’s covered in ice and snow here, I’ll freeze to death…”
The Tian Meng Iceworm said angrily, “Hurry up, if you don’t take them off, you’ll really freeze to death. You call this ‘covered in ice and snow’? The temperature is so high I feel like sweating. This place is still far from the truly frozen lands. If we reach the center of the far north, then that’s it, the temperature will be so low you can’t even imagine. What are you waiting for? Take off your clothes quickly, otherwise, if we continue north for not even two more days, you’ll be finished.”
At this point, Huo Yuhao had no other choice but to trust the Tian Meng Iceworm.
Gusts of cold wind blew, chilling him to the bone, a sensation exactly like swallowing a chunk of ice. He stood in the snow, and because of the extremely cold temperature, he could clearly see streams of heat continuously radiating from his body.
Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth, quickly stripping off layer after layer of clothing. A reddish body gradually emerged. The constant cold air blowing onto him made him unable to resist jumping around. This feeling could absolutely be described with the two words “joyful pleasure.”
“What about your underwear? Why don’t you take that off too? What are you keeping it for? If you dilly-dally and your little brother suffers any harm, it won’t be my fault.”
The Tian Meng Iceworm chuckled maliciously.
Huo Yuhao said irritably, “You, hurry, hurry, hurry up. Otherwise, I’ll freeze to death…”
His voice was trembling, his teeth chattering. He didn’t care about anything else and quickly followed the Tian Meng Iceworm’s instructions.
His body became redder and redder, looking exactly like a boiled shrimp.
Just as Huo Yuhao could no longer endure the cold air and was about to rush to pick up his cotton jacket to put it on, he felt the surrounding scenery instantly change. A golden light slowly flew out from his body. That light made all the surrounding cold disappear without a trace, and a warm feeling surged back.
“Ay…”
Huo Yuhao cried out in delight, almost shedding tears. This feeling was truly special...
Then, the beam of light slowly flew towards his chest. Huo Yuhao was startled to discover that there seemed to be something strange about his body, and the light slowly merged, transforming into a mark on his skin.
After it merged into Huo Yuhao's body, he felt the skin at that spot thicken slightly. The brilliant rays of light gradually disappeared, yet the warm sensation remained. Cold winds still blew continuously, but they no longer brought the biting chill they had before.
"Tian Meng Ge, what is this...?"
Huo Yuhao was extremely surprised. Everything that had just happened was miraculous, completely beyond his understanding.
Tian Meng Bing Can's weary voice rang out.
"This is the shell I shed long ago, what was left of my transformation. It's also my body from when I first met you. Wasn't it stuck to your chest before? Now it has expanded to cover your entire body. I'm a resident here, so why would I be afraid of the cold? This shell of mine is not only breathable but also impervious to water and fire, extremely useful. Moreover, it can help you conceal your aura. Otherwise, with your cultivation, do you think you'd be able to step into this extreme northern region? Hurry and put your clothes on; being naked is really not a pretty sight..."
Huo Yuhao was utterly speechless. He was told to take them off, and now he was being told this. But he couldn't deny that Tian Meng Bing Can's considerations were truly thoughtful. He quickly put his clothes on, and this time, there was no longer any chill. Thanks to Tian Meng Bing Can's remaining shell covering him, his hopes increased greatly.
At this moment, Tian Meng Bing Can's voice suddenly became serious.
"Yuhao, from now on, you must completely obey my instructions. Not a single mistake is allowed. Otherwise, not only will you be permanently laid to rest here, but you will also implicate me."
"Yes."
Huo Yuhao nodded in response. Of course, he would follow Tian Meng Bing Can's instructions; otherwise, wouldn't he be blinding himself?
"Let's go. Just head north. We'll figure things out once we reach the central region. Do you have enough food with you? We need to stay here for about ten days. There's no water here, nor anything for you to eat."
Huo Yuhao patted the Ershi Si Qiao Ming Yue Ye on his back and said, "No problem, I've prepared everything."
As he spoke, he put on a few Soul Tools. After solving the problem of the cold wind, he now had to worry about preserving his strength.
Setting off once again, Huo Yuhao continued to walk north. The biting cold winds no longer threatened him, but the resistance from the blizzard still limited his speed. At this point, his spiritual detection came into play. Whenever he felt something was amiss, he would use his spiritual detection to investigate, allowing him to continuously advance without fear of danger.
Tian Meng Bing Can, even if it wanted to sleep, couldn't. It had to constantly guide Huo Yuhao's direction, and Huo Yuhao always felt as if Tian Meng Bing Can was continuously emitting a spiritual force field that enveloped his body. His spiritual power was like a drop in the ocean compared to Tian Meng Bing Can's terrifying spiritual power, and he also didn't know what Tian Meng Bing Can was searching for outside.
Another two days passed, and Huo Yuhao was almost at the central region of the extreme north. Along the way, he saw a few soul beasts, but none that could truly threaten his life.
The layers of ice and snow on the ground grew thicker and thicker, the snow now almost reaching his knees. Huo Yuhao had no choice but to pick up two pieces of wood and tie them to his feet. Walking like this not only reduced resistance but also allowed him to traverse slippery paths with ease.
During these two days, although his travel speed was not as fast as before, he still covered over four hundred li. The number of times the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm told him to change direction became increasingly frequent and urgent.
"Quick, quick! Kneel down, lie on the ground, bury yourself under that pile of snow, and remember to stay absolutely still. Even if something touches your body, you must remain motionless!"
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's urgent voice startled Huo Yuhao so much he almost fainted.
Huo Yuhao quickly lay down, then covered himself with snow. Once he was completely hidden, he lay still, not even daring to breathe.
A moment later, Huo Yuhao's entire body trembled slightly. Although he was buried in the snow, he could still feel things! Thanks to his spiritual detection, he could fully perceive what was happening outside.
He felt an incredibly terrifying aura appear. The spiritual power he had just extended outward shattered in an instant, with no chance of approaching the creature.
Huo Yuhao only knew that the creature was enormous, and its powerful aura was beyond question. It was as if a single breath from it could destroy everything in all directions. Immediately afterward, Huo Yuhao felt something press down on his entire body, sinking him deep into the snow below.
He was already holding his breath, and with this added pressure, his chest felt like it would explode. His entire body sank deeper and deeper, even touching the ground beneath.
But at this moment, he felt as if his body was covered by an extremely hard shell, so he only felt discomfort, and his body was not injured.
If the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm hadn't warned him, he would have probably groaned in pain. But now, he could only endure, waiting for the creature to pass before deciding what to do.
The terrifying pressure disappeared a moment later, and the terrifying aura gradually moved away. Huo Yuhao felt his chest burning intensely.
But the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm still hadn't spoken, so he dared not move, only enduring. Otherwise, it could very well lead to disaster.
Finally, after another ten seconds, the terrifying aura completely vanished. Only then did the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm tell him to get up.
Huo Yuhao reluctantly stood up, gasping for the cold air outside. The more he inhaled, the more he shivered. He quickly slowed his breathing, but his chest still pounded violently.
Although he didn't know what creature had just stepped on him, based on its power, he knew he had just returned from the brink of death! The rigid shell from earlier was, of course, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's body enveloping him. Otherwise, he would have been flattened long ago.
He sat down and caught his breath for a while, recovering with great difficulty. At this moment, his heart grew increasingly panicked, because when he looked up, what met his eyes were numerous enormous footprints, and he was sitting in one of them.
Each footprint was five chi long and more than two chi wide; Huo Yuhao's entire body was only one-third the size of a single print. He stared at the footprints, relieved that the creature had already gone far away.
Huo Yuhao was still just a child. How could he not be afraid when faced with such a situation?
"Tianmeng Ge, what kind of creature was that? Its feet are already this big?"
Tianmeng Iceworm's voice rang out, now sounding more nervous and anxious than before.
"Damn it, we almost died. This creature also has a spiritual attribute, but thanks to my spiritual power protecting you, and luckily my spiritual power is higher than its, otherwise, it would have discovered us. You're really lucky; as soon as you entered, you encountered one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of this extreme north region. It's the Titan Snow Demon King. Luckily, I discovered it in time; otherwise, even when I was at my strongest, encountering it would only mean DEATH."
"Titan Snow Demon King? What kind of creature is that? Is it also a Soul Beast?"
After the initial panic subsided, curiosity took over Huo Yuhao's thoughts.
Tianmeng Iceworm said, "The Three Great Heavenly Kings in this extreme north are equivalent to the king-level Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. Here, they are the overlords, truly peak powerhouses. In a cold place like this, they are almost invincible. In terms of overall strength, even if all the beast kings in the Star Dou Great Forest combined, they would not be their opponents. It's just that the area here is too vast, and the number of Soul Beasts is countless, making it difficult for them to gather in one place.
"The number of Soul Beasts over one hundred thousand years old here is extremely high, even several times that of the Star Dou Great Forest. After all, the environment here is not bad; how many humans dare to step foot here? And the Three Great Heavenly Kings of this extreme north are all Soul Beasts over one hundred thousand years old."
Huo Yuhao was startled. He was no longer the child who had first met Tianmeng Iceworm. After a year of studying at Shrek Academy, his knowledge of Soul Masters, Soul Beasts, and Soul Rings had become much richer than before.
"Tianmeng Ge, if I remember correctly, Soul Beasts cannot grow further after their cultivation reaches one hundred thousand years. Their lifespan even declines from that point, and there has never been an exception. Not every one hundred thousand-year-old Soul Beast is like you, constantly nurtured by heaven and earth treasures. How can these Three Great Heavenly Kings be like that?"
"Cough, cough... they are naturally not like me. If I had the powerful strength of those Three Great Heavenly Kings, I wouldn't have had to run away! Back then, I was forced to flee south by one of those three. This world is vast and boundless; what strange things cannot happen? Soul Beasts, like humans, can also have different fortuitous encounters, just like me? However, those Three Great Heavenly Kings are not like me. Because my Iceworm clan has always been a low-level existence in this extreme north, we are often seen as food for other races. But the Three Great Heavenly Kings are not like that; the blood of the Ice God flows within them. They all belong to one of the most powerful clans in this extreme north region. Their ability to gather heaven and earth treasures is even more terrifying than mine. The most special thing is that they all have their own secrets, and their cultivation being able to break through one hundred thousand years is one of them."
"However, overcoming the one-hundred-thousand-year barrier is not easy. After all, I have lived for over one hundred thousand years, and I've only seen these three. Besides them, all other creatures that attempted breakthroughs have died. Each one-hundred-thousand-year threshold is not something you can simply cross.
The damned creature we just met is said to be a descendant of the Titan Giant, a soul beast favored by the Ice God since ancient times. Its clan is called the Titan Snow Demon. If we're talking about its clan alone, this species can be considered the strongest in this northern region. Currently, they have over a hundred clan members. As long as they gather in one place, they immediately become an invincible collective here. A newborn Titan Snow Demon is already over ten meters tall, and an adult is fifty meters tall. As for that Titan Snow Demon King, its entire body is over a hundred meters long. It's no exaggeration to call it the largest creature on the Douluo Continent."
Huo Yuhao's eyes widened and his mouth dropped open as he said, "A hundred meters tall? That's terrifying. Isn't it invincible then?"
"Invincible?" Tian Meng Iceworm said disdainfully, "Of course not. Not to mention the entire continent, even just here, it can't be. Because among the Three Great Heavenly Kings, it ranks last. Of course, if a human powerhouse like you wanted to defeat it, that would be impossible."
Huo Yuhao said in surprise, "It's that terrifyingly big, and it's only third place? Then what about the other two Heavenly Kings..."
Tian Meng Iceworm said, "Being big doesn't necessarily mean being the strongest. Sometimes, a smaller body has an advantage. The other two Heavenly Kings, though not as large as it, are absolutely superior in strength. As far as I know, this Titan Snow Demon King has only just crossed the two-hundred-thousand-year threshold, at least not yet three hundred thousand years. As for the other two Heavenly Kings, one is over three hundred thousand years, and the other is even more terrifying, over five hundred thousand years. These three, besides me, are the longest-living soul beasts on this continent. If we consider the strength of soul beasts across the entire continent, these three can be said to be invincible."
