Training Ice Maids
"...Do such beasts even exist? I thought Zi Ji was one of the oldest and most powerful Dragons in the Continent." Shui Bing'er said what she understood at this moment. Do such beings exist? Close to a Million years? How powerful should these creatures be?
She can't believe her Prince just turned her whole world upside down just like that!
"We are talking about Ocean Spirit Beasts. Land dwellers are different stories, there exists a close to a million-year-old Black Dragon and a five hundred thousand-year-old bear." He mentioned a few casually.
Just hearing about such creatures made the pair pale from fright. However, they quickly got over it.
"...I see… Ocean Spirit Beasts is something we haven't addressed before. I have no idea about them…" the Ice Phoenix Maid said with a frown. She has not been to the sea before or even hunted a Spirit Beast related to the Ocean or Sea. Most of her Spirit Rings come from rivers and lakes of the pair of Forests found in the Continent.
"I understand, this is why we will be going there for those Million-year rings."
"But…I still need my Eight Ring…they are far too dangerous to take as Eight."
"Indeed. This is why we will be testing my upgraded Cultivation domain in the process as I help you two to break through to Spirit Douluo."
"...but… I need two rings for that…" Shui Yue'er said with a small frown. Her talent compared to her half-sister is weaker so her cultivation speed is slower. As her martial spirit is just a dolphin while her half-sister has Ice Phoenix making her cultivation speed much faster.
"Don't worry. I will help you cultivate regardless, you will reach that Titled Douluo." Xue Long said that with a small smile, which made the maid blush like a tomato.
At first, it was lust, then it was fanboyism, now it was something more, their Prince knows how to get under their skin and conquer them.
There is a reason why they all get fanatical about him. And Shui Yue'er is not an exception, she went on a wild streak when the consolidation of Star Luo happened… Many said she is seriously insane about her obsession for the Prince.
"I understand…" Shui Bing'er nodded, before looking at her blushing sister. "We understand… we will follow whatever plan you have." The Dolphin maid seriously nodded, she will do her best in whatever she needs to do!
"Fantastic, we will be moving out soon enough, this will be a unique experience before I will take all my maids with me. To reach that Titled Douluo." Thinking about this he did some simple maths in his mind. His cultivation domain is no longer a domain but more like a reality on its own he can keep the girls there until they reach that Titled Douluo, but the issue is the Spirit Rings.
This is something He will try out with the two girls in front of him.
~~~
The pair looked around the mountains with buildings carved into the mountainside. This was a familiar view they used to spend hours upon hours cultivating here.
But something was different. From how it used to be before. This place was too real, just as natural as the outside world was.
"The time flow here is different, we are going to test how much I can alter the time flow. Same time we will practise our regular martial arts and of course, I want to see how rapidly your Martial Avatars can progress."
Xue Long knows that most if not the majority of his maids are all stuck in Stage two in their Meditation arts, many of them can't even grasp the basics of Heaven and Earth Meditation. He will see if he can help these two break to the third stage and hopefully help them grasp the basics of Heaven and Earth Meditation.
"Okay… so this is an extra private training session with our Prince~" Shui Yue'er said with wide eyes, this was the perfect opportunity to double-team him!
She quickly looked at her sister who slightly blushed as well, the Ice Phoenix Girl was thinking about the same thing!
"If you think that way, then yes it is a private training session. Let's make other maids realise how much you two can grow." The Crown Prince said with a small smile. He had no idea what the pair were planning.
"First let's begin with the basics, do attack me with everything you got."
Hearing that the pair quickly merged with their Martial Spirits.
And moments later the ice descended on him.
Shui Bing'er used her ice aerial attacks while Shui Yue'er user her speed and flexibility to get close while the Prince has to deal with her sister's ice.
Their teamwork is simply incredible and he is quite certain that the pair could use some sort of Spirit fusion to empower the Ice Phoenix further.
Shui Yue'er learned from her previous mistakes as she engaged in hand-to-hand combat. While her power comes from leg utilisation she only uses it from time to time.
Xue Long in this situation is simply blocking and observing them, studying their martial arts. With his Great Arthan's meditation being at Stage Seven he can grasp not just her art but her combat potential. For him, it's like those Hack and Slash video games. He can see all the locked combos, meaning that he could teach Shui Yue'er how to 'unlock' them.
Eventually, he grabbed her leg and sent her flying back. Shui Bing'er then released an array of Ice attacks to cover her sister.
"Not bad… You two are very good."
Hearing him praise the pair like this made them get slightly self-conscious. But they quickly got over it.
"First Shui Yue'er, I am going to teach you a new martial art based on leg fighting. Your Martial Spirit's true power comes from leg attacks so we will be adding another style to the mix."
As he explained to her, this made her eyes bulge out slightly.
"B-But… doesn't it take months to expand katas and all that!? Even with all the Lotus Meditation and Martialdom Domain help!?"
Indeed it was, with those two they stuffed around 20 to 30 years of training in just around 3 years. This was no different so the pair was quite shocked about this!
"Yes, this is. But as I said, the time here flows differently."
His explanation finally crossed their minds, 'time flows differently' finally made sense to them!
This made the pair giddy and at same time awed by the sheer potential of this! Will the Prince make his maids into utterly terrifying beasts!?
"And you Bing'er, we are going to work on your understanding of ice. Might as well help you two create those cores."
**Gulp**
It appears Prince is pushing some serious stuff on them, this never happened before! This time he is thinking seriously about making them into Titled Douluos!
It excites them and at the same time makes them anxious about what will happen to them! What kind of training will he make them go through… and for how long?
~~~
Training started quite strangely, as two more Xue Long's appeared!
How was that even possible!?
"Time, the power over time, you could say I am here at different times. Making it look like there are two of me."
Both of them slowly nodded, not truly understanding what he meant. It didn't truly matter, this means that he can instruct them both at the same time!
First with Shui Yue'er as he started showing her the basics of Taekwondo, the leg-kicking art which she will have to learn and then eventually incorporate into her legs kicking.
As someone who went through meticulous training before she started to pick it up quite quickly, the difference was that she needed to get used to those katas as in the heat of combat you could simply forget the new style and switch to the one which was ingrained into your body.
While Shui Bing'er was learning about water. This was so that she could have even better grasping towards her attribute.
"We are going to start with you getting a complete understanding of what water is and how you can grasp it without even using Spirit Energy."
"... I can do that?"
"Yes." As he said that he made water in 'stop' and 'manifest' to the level that it's visible to the naked eye!
"It's…everywhere." The blue-haired girl exclaimed as she looked around and saw droplets of water everywhere!
"Yes, once you have this under control your power will magnify to the next level. By the time people are in Titled Douluo, they all try to achieve something which will make them stand apart from others. Not just by Martial Spirit or the nine rings they have.
From bizarre powers to specialities, like the Tang clan who have several techniques they can employ through their hammer usage. Yours would be something like complete power over water and ice. Making you not just an Assault System user but Control System as well." As he told her about the possibilities this only made her more excited. This sounds increasingly more amazing the more she heard about it!
And she trusts him fully that he will teach her all of it!
"Good, then let's begin." As he said that a golden Lotus flower manifested above Shui Bing'er.
"Hmm?"
The girl looked up and she saw the flower blooming and golden particles descending on her.
At that moment her eyes got glassy for a few seconds, her mind was processing what she just got enlightenment on!
"This is… My Prince… how is it… you progressed so fast in your meditation techniques!?" The Ice Phoenix maid said with another awed tone. From her understanding, his progress got only faster while theirs got slower and slower!
"Don't worry about it, just proceed with what I gave you. Follow that path and once you grasp water naturally we will proceed with core creation." He brushed her praise aside and made her start to work.
The way he did it only made her like him more… She always liked him. But as it was shown by Shui Yue'er there is always more space to grow for her fascination with her Prince.
While the two girls were practising Xue Long's martial Spirit manifested behind him. The three Dragons were meditating with him.
That moment his Spirit Ring manifested… There were quite a few of them.
Nineteen in total, Nine golden and five blue and fire Spirit Rings. Or you could say elemental rings as they were created via pure elemental energy.
As they all manifested, the Crown Prince proceeded to finish the set. Once he is done he will have a full set of 27 Spirit Rings.
While this was happening with the original Xue Long the one who was training Shui Yue'er was receiving an angry pout.
"That's not fair! You gave Bing'er a Golden Lotus! I want one too!" The dolphin maid huffed at him.
"The more you complain the more you will be practising."
His words only made her huff at him angrily, she is not afraid of the things which she could end up doing. Nope, the blue-haired girl knows that he will be with her the whole time. So it doesn't matter to her!
Yes, as long as he is around she can do all those annoying punishment exercises. After all, they all make her stronger so it doesn't matter.
By this point, her naughty actions have put her in a multitude of punishments before, at that time she didn't like them, but this time it's different!
"I will give one to you after you get the hang of your new style. The next step for you is to add ice and water in your new style."
His new explanation made her stop for a bit before realising that this was not everything!
"Oh…"
"Yes, now proceed with your training. I am watching. So give your best."
His simple pep-talk ignited her resolve as she quickly returned to training!
