Chapter 1831 Climbing the Snow Mountain (Please Subscribe)_1

Feeling the temperature around them had already dropped to several degrees below zero, Tang Wulin rubbed his hands together and asked, "Big brother, how much longer until we reach the military district?"

The man driving the vehicle immediately answered, "We're almost there. We've already reached the Fiery Basin. As long as we cross the snow mountain ahead, we'll arrive at our destination!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin said in confusion, "Snow mountain? Isn't the military district we're heading to located in the desert?"

The man couldn't help but express his astonishment, "In the desert? How could that be possible, knowing that there are quite a few soul beasts there, and the skies are filled with sandstorms all year round, making it extremely difficult to survive for long!"

"Only someone out of their mind would consider establishing an army there!"

Tang Wulin scratched his head awkwardly, somewhat at a loss for words...

He muttered to himself, "The Elders of the Sea God Pavilion sure picked a great location, huh? The desert, the snow mountain—what's next, a volcano?"

Gu Yue, on the other hand, was calmly pondering, "Does this mean... we can't take this vehicle any further, and we have to climb up from the base of the snow mountain ourselves?"

The man nodded slightly and said, "That's right! I can only take you to the foot of the snow mountain; the rest is up to you."

This was also one of the trials of the legion—if one didn't even have this amount of perseverance, joining would only be a waste of time!

However, with their Soul Emperor level strength, climbing the snow mountain would undoubtedly be very easy!

After driving for a few more minutes, he gradually slowed down and stopped the vehicle...

No sooner had they stepped out of the car, the people dressed in thick white clothing guarding the place all raised their guns, aiming at Tang Wulin and his two companions!

The leader of the group shouted coldly, "Halt, who are you?"

The man standing in front of Tang Wulin and the other raised his hands and said, "Don't misunderstand, I am here to lead these two to enlist in the army!"

The former lowered his gun, frowning slightly as he asked, "To enlist? Where are your recommendation letters?"

Tang Wulin was momentarily taken aback, "Recommendation letters? The academy didn't give us those! But... can this do?"

With that said, he took out the Inner Court Medal from Shrek Academy...

Upon seeing this, the leader took the medal and after examining it carefully, said in surprise, "This is an Inner Court Medal from Shrek Academy?"

Seeing this, Gu Yue also took out her Inner Court Medal from Shrek Academy...

After confirming their identities, the man waved his hand and the others all put down their guns...

Returning the medals to Tang Wulin, he spoke, "You must be Gu Yue and Tang Wulin, right?"

Tang Wulin and Gu Yue looked at each other and nodded, saying, "Yes!"

Once confirmed, the man continued, "Cross the snow mountain ahead to reach the Blood God Army. Additionally, I have a piece of advice for you: don't reveal your identities as Shrek students too easily!!"

Tang Wulin thanked him with a fist salute, "Thanks for the reminder, big brother! We'll be careful."

After signaling to the man who had brought them there, he and Gu Yue began walking towards the mountain on foot...

Soon, a towering snow mountain stretching five or six kilometers high appeared before their eyes, its sheer altitude enough to take one's breath away...

Moreover, the temperature had plummeted to a chilling several tens of degrees below zero, even the breath they exhaled instantly turned into icy particles in the air!

Tang Wulin looked at Gu Yue, concerned, "This snow mountain must be no less than six thousand meters high. Gu Yue, are you sure you can do it?"

Gu Yue remained unfazed, "No problem! It might look daunting, but we're not talking about brute-force climbing. With Soul Power, it should be very simple!"

Upon saying this, she released her Martial Soul and a chunk of heavy ice formed beneath her feet...

Tang Wulin slapped his forehead, realizing he was overthinking it!

They were now at the strength of Soul Emperors, not the weak Soul Elders they once were!

After taking a deep breath, his eyes grew firm as he suggested, "Then Gu Yue, let's see who can reach the top first!"

Having said that, he released the Blue Silver Grass, which quickly extended toward the entire ice mountain...

Gu Yue did not refuse, her lips curving into a smile, "Okay!"

Tang Wulin's pale blue eyes flickered once, "Then get ready, one!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

Almost the instant the words left his mouth, Gu Yue immediately unleashed her tremendous Soul Power, controlling the ice beneath her feet to rapidly rise...

In the blink of an eye, she had already reached a height of several tens of meters!

Tang Wulin was not to be outdone, his legs powerfully kicking off, using the crisscrossed Blue Silver Grass to quickly climb up...

Effortlessly catching up with Gu Yue...

It was at this moment that Gu Yue suddenly spoke, "Wulin, you can't win against me like this!"

In an instant, Soul Power condensed in the air into several meter-long ice cones, which were hurled towards Tang Wulin down below...

His pupils contracted, and he swiftly dodged the incoming ice cones, speaking with a slightly aggrieved tone, "Gu Yue, that's cheating!"

If he hadn't reacted quickly, he might have been knocked down by those ice cones!

Gu Yue, upon hearing this, crossed her arms and gave an innocent look, "All is fair in war; surely you know that simple truth."

Tang Wulin pursed his lips, "In that case, come down as well!"

With a clench of his hand, the omnipresent Blue Silver Grass seemed to come to life, coiling towards Gu Yue above...

Gu Yue naturally anticipated this, tilting her chin up and saying, "In your dreams!"

Without any hesitation, she conjured three Fireballs and launched them down, directly blasting the Blue Silver Grass into shreds...

This sudden noise also caught the attention of the military members stationed here...

When they came to the front of the ice mountain and looked up to see what was happening above, they all widened their eyes...

One of the military members rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "My God, are these two Shrek students really here to join the army?"

Another military member's mouth twitched, "They're just climbing a mountain; is there any need to make it harder for themselves?"

"Who would've thought they're so young and already at the level of Soul Emperors, truly worthy of being students from Shrek Academy!"

"That said... should we remind them that doing so could likely trigger an avalanche?"

"No need, if you look closely, they seem to have control! They haven't affected the mountain itself at all!"

...

After about one or two hours, Tang Wulin and Gu Yue finally made it to the top of the ice mountain!

Panting heavily, Tang Wulin said, "Huff...huff, Gu Yue, you've won!"

Climbing the mountain had nearly depleted all his Soul Power, though, of course, a lot of it was spent on the battle of wits and bravery with Gu Yue!

While Gu Yue wasn't as tired, her Soul Power had also been significantly drained, "Let's restore our Soul Power first, otherwise, once we enter the Blood God Army, we might still have training missions!"

After speaking, the two of them sat cross-legged on the snow, beginning to recover their Soul Power...
