Just as Qin Luo was watching, Dan Bingli raised her eyebrows slightly and slowly opened her eyes. A cold, tangible blue light seemed to emanate from her deep blue pupils, causing the surrounding temperature to drop instantly.
Upon seeing Qin Luo, Dan Bingli slowly rose to her feet. Her simple dress swayed gently as she stood up, and the surrounding chill rippled around her, forming visible wisps of icy cold.
Feeling the bone-chilling cold penetrate to his very soul, Qin Luo snapped back to his senses and couldn't help but think to himself:
"As expected of the bloodline of the Primordial Ice Emperor, it is truly extraordinary. Activated and unactivated are completely different worlds."
Clearly, Qin Luo hadn't expected Dan Bingli to undergo such a dramatic transformation after activating her bloodline, not only in appearance but also in strength!
The icy aura surged towards him like a tangible wave, and even just standing nearby, Qin Luo could feel his spiritual energy beginning to slow down.
Seemingly sensing the effects of the cold air, Dan Bingli's eyes narrowed, and then the cold current swept back into her body.
The return of cold air instantly brought the surrounding air back to the chilly early spring.
Dan Bingli looked at Qin Luo with complicated emotions, a hint of hesitation appearing on her face. But that hesitation made her seem more human, no longer the icy fairy she once was.
"Th...thank you."
The cold voice came out of Dan Bingli's mouth with difficulty, carrying a hint of awkwardness, as if these two simple words had exhausted all her courage.
Qin Luo was taken aback at first, but quickly understood the meaning behind her thanks.
Clearly, activating the Ice Crystal Glass Body was indeed a crucial transformation for Dan Bingli.
Otherwise, given her icy nature, she would never have said thank you unless this transformation had profoundly impacted her. Unless there was a special reason, expressing gratitude was something she would never do.
He then smiled faintly and said politely:
"Miss Dan, there's no need for that. After all, we agreed beforehand that we were going to support each other."
Looking at Qin Luo's smile, Dan Bingli remained expressionless and said earnestly:
"rest assured."
"I will help you get first place in the freshman competition."
His voice was clear and cold, like a mountain spring, devoid of any superfluous emotion.
Upon hearing her words, Qin Luo didn't say anything more, but instead shook his head.
"Although with Miss Dan's help, our chances of winning have increased considerably, I still don't think it's safe enough."
Upon hearing this, Dan Bingli's deep blue pupils flickered, as if she was puzzled by Qin Luo's words.
It should be noted that she is now in the middle stage of the Spirit Control Realm, and after her bloodline was activated, she has developed a new physique and cultivation technique, resulting in a qualitative leap in her combat power. Now, she is even confident enough to compete with cultivators in the late stage of the Spirit Control Realm.
She raised her eyes to look at Qin Luo, her gaze questioning. Although she didn't speak, her doubt was unmistakable.
Seeing this, Qin Luo knew what she was thinking and said solemnly:
"Miss Dan, I observe that your aura has already reached the mid-stage of the Spirit Control Realm. This level of cultivation must be quite outstanding in the Freshman Competition. But if I'm not mistaken, you haven't signed a soul contract with a soul beast yet, have you?"
After Qin Luo finished speaking, he looked at Dan Bingli with a deep gaze. He naturally knew that Dan Bingli had not signed a soul contract. After all, he and Dan Bingli had teamed up to take on countless missions in the simulation, so he knew that she did not have a soul contract.
Dan Bingli was taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in her deep blue eyes, clearly wondering how Qin Luo had noticed this situation.
Her journey of cultivation has been like rowing against the current, a race against time every single second. With all her energy focused on improving her own strength, she had no spare time to seek out a soul beast that resonated with her.
For her, ordinary beast souls were like chicken ribs; signing one would not only provide a negligible boost to her strength, but would even limit the upper limit of her potential.
Therefore, even though she has now reached the mid-stage of the Spirit Control Realm, the Soul Contract has been put on hold.
"So what if it is?" Dan Bingli replied coldly, her tone carrying a hint of disdain.
"The ability to control spirits is something that even a Soul Contract Realm cultivator can withstand."
"I'm capable enough to help you get first place among the freshmen!"
As she finished speaking, Dan Bingli raised her chin, her cold face reflecting a unique kind of resilience in the sunlight.
"puff!"
Upon hearing her words, Qin Luo couldn't help but chuckle.
"Miss Dan, confidence is a rare quality, but if it is excessive and blind, it becomes recklessness. You should know that this freshman competition is to help me win first place."
"What will you do if an accident leads to failure? Don't forget, you've already used up all that invaluable Primordial Bloodline Stone. If you ultimately fail to achieve your goal, what will you use to compensate me?"
"There will be no surprises."
Dan Bingli spoke calmly and firmly, her deep eyes showing no hesitation.
"They've taken the bait."
Seeing her like this, Qin Luo was also delighted. The bait had been cast, and now it was time to start fishing for this ice queen mermaid!
“Miss Dan, for cultivators, a soul contract is not only an aid in battle, but also an advantage in a competition like the Freshman Grand Competition where experts gather. More strength means more chances of winning.”
"Besides, do you think you can crush everything now? You should know that you are not the only one who is the most influential person in this year's competition. If you can make such a transformation, the other three will probably not stop there either."
