Now, people are more overjoyed to have a real body.
Now that Xue Di had regained her mobility, she bowed deeply to Jiang Yunzhou: "Young Master Jiang, your kindness is beyond repayment. If you do not despise me, I wish to follow you..."
Looking at the two emperors of ice and snow, Jiang Yunzhou suddenly regretted not bringing Xiao Lan along. If she had come, she could have helped him cool down!
The two people in front of him were so weak and frail that he dared not touch them!
If I get hit and killed, then I'll become an albino!
"Snow Emperor, there's no need to address me as Young Master."
He steadied himself and continued, "Now that you have all successfully transformed into human form, shouldn't you, as we discussed before, become my disciples?"
"Become an apprentice? Sure!"
Hyotei pouted slightly, "But first you have to tell me, who's prettier between us?"
Snow Empress looked at Ice Empress in astonishment: "Ice Empress, do not be rude to Young Master Jiang."
"Hmph! Who told him to look at you longer than me? We're structurally the same!"
"Also, Xue Di, you're mine, shouldn't you call me 'older sister'?"
Xue Di was speechless. She didn't seem to have agreed before, did she?
However, silence is her usual tactic...
Jiang Yunzhou sighed and rubbed his forehead. This is something we have to compare?
"You each have your own strengths, oh no, you... you're the one who looks good, okay!"
"Why don't you take your clothes off again and let me see them for a year or two before I wear them again?"
"Hmph, the more you want to see, the less I'll let you see~" Hyotei raised her chin, looking smug.
Well, this lady is destined to go against him.
"Young Master Jiang, why don't I go first? How should I become your disciple?" Xue Di was pure of heart, only thinking of repaying kindness.
Jiang Yunzhou nodded in satisfaction, "Empress Xue is indeed reasonable."
"Didn't I say you don't need to call me 'Young Master'? Becoming my disciple is simple, just kowtow to me once."
Upon hearing this, Xue Di nodded and knelt down without hesitation.
Jiang Yunzhou helped her up, and a sword-shaped necklace appeared in his hand without him noticing.
"This is a personal token passed down from your master. Come, come, let me help you put it on."
He walked up to Xue Di and gently brushed his fingers across her fair neck.
Xue Di gracefully tilted her head slightly, allowing him to put the ornament on her.
The moment the necklace was fastened, a wonderful sense of connection arose spontaneously.
"Young master...shouldn't I address you as teacher now?"
"Yes, it's best to address him that way in front of outsiders."
Although puzzled, Xue Di nodded obediently: "Okay, teacher! I find this necklace to be very special."
“That’s right, it can be used as a storage device, and it can be controlled with mental power,” Jiang Yunzhou explained.
At this moment, Hyotei also came over, staring at the necklace from left to right.
"Jiang Yunzhou, do you have any more? My neck is empty too!" She tilted her head back and forth in front of him.
"You want one too? Sure, I'll give it to you after you become my disciple."
Hyotei's eyes lit up: "Deal! You have to keep your word!"
Jiang Yunzhou made a 'please' gesture.
Hyotei, always adaptable, immediately knelt down and declared loudly, "Teacher! From now on, I am your beloved disciple!"
Before Jiang Yunzhou could help her up, she jumped up on her own and stretched out her little hand: "Where's the necklace? Give it to me quickly!"
Jiang Yunzhou couldn't help but chuckle and took out another necklace to hand over.
"Wait! Why did you put it on for Xue Di, but I have to put it on myself? No way, you have to put it on for me too!" Bing Di pouted and tilted her head back to wait.
Jiang Yunzhou shook his head and reached out to put the necklace on her.
Hyotei happily played with the dangling sword-shaped pendant, and with a quick mental probe, immediately discovered the storage space inside.
"It really can store things! That's great, I'm going back to store all my belongings here!"
Having successfully accepted two more disciples, Jiang Yunzhou also obtained two divinely bestowed soul rings.
However, since they had just completed their transformation and had not yet condensed a single soul ring, they had not yet been able to provide him with any feedback on his cultivation level.
These two new bodies perfectly embody their souls, and their starting point is far stronger than that of autonomous transformation.
Their spiritual power and souls seem to have been completely preserved, indicating that the strength of their new bodies is quite good.
There were no unexpected issues regarding the martial spirit...
The Snow Empress's martial soul is still pure, ultimate ice...
And Hyotei is still Emperor Scorpion.
Chapter 172 Hyotei, now you have to call me teacher!
Their current strength is roughly equivalent to that of a level 10 Soul Master.
For someone who has just been born, this is already considered the starting point of having innate full soul power!
After all, due to the limitations of this world's rules, one must condense a soul ring before breaking through the level cap and continuing to improve.
Jiang Yunzhou did not have them condense soul rings immediately, but instead planned to have them take pills to enhance their physical strength and mental power.
With their talent, and the fact that they can quickly restore their cultivation level simply by focusing on refining their inner core during cultivation.
He is now basically certain that the inner core and the soul core are essentially the same thing.
Yuki-onna and Hyotei really caught a good opportunity; even Jiang Yunzhou was a little envious of their luck.
After all, he had only just condensed his soul core.
Jiang Yunzhou suddenly became interested when he heard Hyotei say that he needed to go back and pack his things.
Such a powerful ruler must have collected a lot of good stuff, right?
"Hmm? What other treasures are hidden in your residence?" he asked with great interest.
Since we're going to their place anyway, we might as well help them improve their living conditions there. It would be much more comfortable and peaceful than being out in the wind and snow.
"Hehe, I won't tell you, I won't tell you..." Hyotei winked playfully.
Jiang Yunzhou was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. This girl was quite mischievous. If she didn't want to say, she didn't have to. He didn't necessarily need to know.
"Teacher, do we really have to leave the far north?" Xue Di looked at the vast snowfield, a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
This icy plain is where she was born and raised, and she still feels a pang of sadness at having to leave.
"We are leaving, but it will be a while! By the way, do you know which direction the Arctic Ocean is in?"
Xue Di immediately nodded: "I know, what is Teacher going to the Arctic Ocean for?"
"There's one more thing I need to do."
"Hmph, she must have her eye on some soul beast that lives in the icy ocean again..." Hyotei teased casually while playing with the necklace.
Jiang Yunzhou raised an eyebrow, surprised that she had actually guessed correctly.
"Haha~ Bingbing, you're quite clever. You're right, I do need to find another sea spirit beast, the mermaid princess of the Arctic Ocean. Have you seen her?"
The two Ice and Snow Emperors simply shook their heads in unison: "Our territory does not involve the ocean, but there are indeed some powerful sea spirit beasts in the Arctic Ocean. However, with your strength, Master, you should be able to handle them."
Xue Di analyzed objectively, and based on her current understanding of Jiang Yunzhou, her tone unconsciously carried a hint of admiration.
He wasn't disappointed, and simply asked, "Are you coming with me, or are you waiting here for me to come back?"
"I want to go! I want to go too!" Upon hearing that they were going to the Arctic Ocean, Hyotei's eyes lit up with excitement, and he immediately raised his hand in response.
But Xue Di hesitated for a moment before speaking: "If Teacher wants to return the way we came, I would like to stay here and cultivate."
She continued to explain, "Our strength has not yet recovered, and if we go with you, we might only be a burden."
She then looked at Hyotei: "I think you should stay too. In our current state, you won't be of much help if you go."
Although they are not afraid of the cold, their strength is not much stronger than that of ordinary people.
The priority now is to quickly refine the inner core and then condense the soul ring to break through the level cap, so that I can recover my former strength more quickly.
Now, by gradually refining the inner core, one can mobilize the sealed power within to condense a soul ring.
With their previous cultivation levels, once they refined all the inner cores, they would definitely be able to directly become titled Douluo!
When that time comes, I will be able to help the teacher.
Hyotei's eyes darted around, then she pouted, "Alright, alright, I won't go! By the way, Jiang Yunzhou, please take us back to our lodgings first!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Di corrected her somewhat displeasedly: "Hyotei, you should call me teacher now!"
Hyotei puffed out her cheeks, arguing forcefully, "But didn't he say that you only need to call someone that in front of outsiders? You're not an outsider..."
Jiang Yunzhou let out a soft sigh and waved his hand: "Alright, alright, Bingbing is right, there really are no outsiders here now."
"Hehe~~~ I knew it!" Hyotei laughed triumphantly.
"So you agree? From now on, when there are no outsiders, I'll call you Yunzhou!"
"Why? Didn't you say so yourself? Then what should I call you?"
"Call out—uh-ah..."
Upon hearing this, Hyotei looked puzzled. Was this the teacher's nickname?
Jiang Yunzhou ignored him and asked instead, "Don't you want to go back to your place? Which way is it? Give me directions!"
He wrapped one arm around the slender waist of one person, spread his sword wings, and instantly took to the air.
Before the two Ice and Snow Emperors could react, they were already in mid-air.
Wow, you're so fast!
