Chapter 361 - Advancing (2/2)

She regarded him coldly, growling, “Don't block the way.”

Another door of light formed and the team entered it, proceeding to the next trial. They didn't need everyone to clear the following trials, so they took turns clearing each one. None of them even worked up a sweat clearing the first eight trials, but the soul beasts they faced grew stronger as they continued. In the eighth trial, they faced six soul beasts around the two-thousand-year level. Yuanen Yehui had instantly taken care of them like a bolt of lightning. They promptly reached the ninth trial.

Upon arrival, Tang Wulin spoke up. “We'll be fighting together for this trial,” he said.

At this point, it was too difficult for only one or two of them to clear a floor. Doing so would consume too much soul power. It was time for them to fight as a team.

Just like before, they found themselves in an octagonal hall with eight doors. This time, however, only four of them opened. A burly soul beast stepped out of each doorway for a total of four. They were covered in snow-white fur and possessed an air of majesty. It was Tang Wulin's first time seeing such soul beasts. They clearly weren't inhabitants of any forest.

“Those are ice bears!” Xie Xie exclaimed. “They're powerful soul beasts found in the far northern lands! The they're huge and should possess cultivation levels over three-thousand-years!”

“Be careful everyone,” Gu Yue warned. “The ninth floor of the spirit soul tower is a major milestone. This trial will be far harder than the ones we've faced until now. What do you think of them, Xiaoyan?”

Xu Xiaoyan's eyes glittered. “They're great! Amazing! These bears are so cute! I want to cuddle them!”

Cute…? Everyone looked at her strangely. You're choosing your spirit soul based on cuteness?

The ice bears glared at Tang Wulin and his team. The air started getting colder and colder the moment the they had appeared. Frigid fog already began to fill the room. The breathing of the ice bears grew deeper and deeper, as if fanning the flames of their fury. The four bears didn't attack them from all sides. Instead, they gathered together and advanced slowly.

Tang Wulin stared straight into the eyes of the bears. “Everyone, stay vigilant! These ice bears are far more intelligent than the soul beasts we faced up to this point.”

Yuanen Yehui moved toward the ice bears, her three soul rings appearing beneath her as she walked.

Yue Zhengyu summoned his soul rings as well and advanced alongside her.

Bluesilver gra.s.s slithered out of the ground and surrounded Tang Wulin.

In the end, this was just the ninth trial.

At that moment, the lead ice bear made its move. It roared toward the ceiling, and the entire room trembled before its declaration of might. Snow began materializing out of thin air, rapidly intensifying into a blizzard that obscured everyone's vision.

A snort resounded through the icy onslaught and a blazing fireball erupted from the center of Tang Wulin's group, dispelling the surrounding snow. Yet the remaining bears roared one after another and the blizzard returned, howling and wailing with renewed vigor.

It was a blizzard powered by the combined strength of four ice bears!
