The welcome party for new students was over, and Ye Yixi still did not return to the inner courtyard. Ai Xue walked back to the dormitory with Yue Ling'er with a sad face. Although Ai Xue was in a bad mood, Yue Ling'er was in a good mood, she met the New Saint Generation and some high-achieving students of the Holy Light Academy today, although not everyone can compare with the New Saint Generation, but they are also geniuses rarely seen in the outside world.

However, there is another person in Yue Ling'er's heart that is very interested, that is Ye Yixi, who has a Peerless Sword that can be compared to his proud Ice Spirit Staff.

When she arrived at the dormitory, Yue Ling'er finally couldn't help but ask Ai Xue.

"Sister Xiaoxue, can you tell me the story of you and Brother Yixi?"

"Okay. ”

Hearing Yue Ling'er ask Ye Yixi about it, Ai Xue changed her original sad face and said happily.

"Brother Yixi and I have lived together since I can remember, it is in a valley in the far north, and Brother Yixi and I call it the Valley of Hundred Flowers......"

Five years ago, in a strange valley in the Far North.

In a thatched hut in the valley, the white-haired old man Ye Chen was holding a spherical white crystal in his right hand, and a pair of small hands were pressing on it.

After a long time like this, the crystal still didn't see any change, and the kindness and kindness on the white-haired old man's face didn't change at all. Signaling to the owner of the little hand, a little boy with black hair and black eyes can go out to play. With his hands down, the little boy took the hands of the beautiful girl with powder blue hair and eyes next to him, and ran excitedly out of the hut to start today's play.

When the boy led the girl away from the hut, the old man sighed and said to himself.

"Obviously you have such a good bloodline, but you can't detect any spiritual power, can your child really be a waste? No, I don't believe it. ”

The old man finally raised his head and protested to the sky.

The white-haired old man is Ye Chen, the little boy is naturally Ye Yixi, and the little girl is naturally Ai Xue.

"Xiaoxue, why do you say that my master always asks me to touch that crystal ball?"

Ye Yixi took Ai Xue's little hand and ran away, stopped and asked.

Ai Xue didn't answer, just shook her head.

"If I make the crystal ball glow like you, then I don't have to touch the crystal ball anymore?"

Ye Yixi said with a little disappointment.

The crystal ball that Ye Chen was holding was the 'Phantom Spirit Stone', a tool used to forcibly help children awaken the spirit in their bodies on the Instrument Spirit Continent.

Since Ye Yixi was six years old, Ye Chen would let Ye Yixi perform the ritual of forcibly awakening the machine spirit every day.

Ai Xue, who was only five years old at the time, was taken aback by Ye Chen's first test, one hundred innate spiritual power showed that Ai Xue was a genius among geniuses, and even the highest innate spiritual power of the new saint generation who was famous in the continent five years later was only eighty. And her machine spirit is very likely to be a god-level machine spirit.

However, what continued to surprise Ye Chen was that Ye Yixi's innate spiritual power was zero.

At that time, for a few days in a row, Ye Chen asked the people of the Holy Light Academy to send all kinds of tools to awaken the machine spirit, and kept performing the ritual of awakening the machine spirit to Ye Yixi.

Four years have passed, and Ai Xue's machine spirit is almost ready to be formed in vitro. However, there was still no trace of spiritual power in Ye Yixi's body. Ye Chen also gradually began to feel disappointed in Ye Yixi from the bottom of his heart, but thinking of his disciple's request for him before leaving, Ye Chen still insisted on carrying out the ritual of awakening the spirit for Ye Yixi once a month.

Ye Yixi and Ai Xue are still playing in the valley as usual today, and there is a climate in this valley that is obviously different from the surrounding peaks, and the surrounding peaks are covered with snow. However, in the valley, there is a scene of flowers in full bloom, which is of course Ye Chen's masterpiece.

Using the strength and financial resources of the Holy Light Academy, he planted many enchantments and magic circles around the valley to forcibly change the climate of the valley, creating the 'Valley of Hundred Flowers' in this strange human wonder ice and snow world.

A snow-white wolf-type phantom beast outside the valley, staring at Ye Yixi and Ai Xue playing in the valley, their eyes became more and more cold.

The name of this wolf-like phantom beast is the Ice Spirit Wolf, except that it is all snow-white and has a blue snowflake mark in the center of its forehead, it is not much different from ordinary wolves.

The Ice Wolves are notoriously cunning among phantom beasts, and once someone is targeted by them, they can only kill it or kill it. The Ice Spirit Wolf, which has been cultivated for more than a thousand years, is an existence that even the Spirit Emperor does not dare to provoke easily.

Fortunately, this phantom beast does not have the habit of living in groups as ordinary wolves, otherwise it will be a great harm to humans.

This ice spirit wolf's body has just reached one meter two, and its cultivation has just reached the boundary of two hundred years, and it is possible to break through at any time. It is because Xiuwei is about to break through the boundary of two hundred years that it will appear here.

If his cultivation reached a thousand years, he would not dare to appear outside this valley. After all, under normal circumstances, the phantom beast spirit wisdom that has reached a thousand years of cultivation has already been opened. Creatures with intelligence naturally do not provoke beings that they cannot provoke.

"Ai Xue, shall we go outside to find Snow Lotus?"

"Okay, this time we're going to find something more to surprise Grandpa. ”

Ye Yixi, who was bored with catching butterflies in the sea of flowers, also agreed with Ai Xue's proposal. happily followed Ye Yixi and ran away towards the Hundred Flowers Valley.

Ye Yixi and Ai Xue walked out of the valley like this.

There were no powerful phantom beasts within a radius of ten miles in this valley.

Because those powerful phantom beasts had long been invited away by the powerhouses of the Holy Light Academy and the Proud Sword Villa, who often came here to visit Ye Yixi and Ai Xue. Therefore, although Ye Chen in the valley also sensed that the two of them were out of the valley, he didn't have any worries.

Ye Yixi, after Ai Xue came out of the valley, she climbed directly to a snow peak next to her.

Snow peaks, which are difficult for adults to climb, are so easy at the feet of Ye Yixi and Ai Xue, two children whose average age is less than ten years old. After all, Ye Yixi and Ai Xue can be said to have learned to walk in the snow. This snow peak, which was not very steep in the first place, was very relaxed in front of Ye Yixi and Ai Xue a few years ago.

Ye Yixi took Ai Xue's hand and headed straight towards the top of the mountain, although he was walking and playing, he still reached the top of the Snow Peak before noon.

At a glance, it is a kingdom full of white existence and boundless silver snow. Although I have climbed this snowy peak many times, which is only about a few hundred meters. But every time, Ye Yixi and Ai Xue, who don't know what beauty and ugliness are in the world, are surprised and intoxicated by the magic and beauty of nature.

It is in this way that there is no towering height in the sky, and the appearance is so ordinary that it cannot be on the ordinary small snow peak, but there is a breathtaking magic. On the ice and snow under the cover of the white ice and snow on the top of the mountain, there are all kinds of rare heaven and earth spiritual treasures. This is not a force of nature, but a miracle - a miracle of God.

When Ye Yixi and Ai Xue were still intoxicated with the charm of ice and snow, the first crisis in their lives also quietly appeared behind the two of them.

The ice spirit wolf, whose cultivation was about to break through two hundred years, quietly showed its head behind the two of them.

When this ice wolf first came to the vicinity of this valley, it was attracted by Ai Xue's aura. So it's been waiting for an opportunity.

Seeing Ye Yixi and Ai Xue out of the valley, it understood that its opportunity had finally arrived, and then quietly followed the two of them to the top of this snow peak.

When Ye Yixi and Ai Xue were still looking at the surrounding snowscape, a sudden sense of crisis appeared in Ai Xue's heart. The spiritual power that could not be skillfully controlled automatically operated, and red light appeared on Ai Xue's body. The sense of crisis became stronger and stronger, and Ai Xue immediately pounced on Ye Yixi's body and knocked Ye Yixi to the ground.

In the next moment, a white wolf's claw slashed, and the ice wolf appeared in the original position of Ai Xue.

Ye Yixi, after Ai Xue rolled away on the ground, she turned around and saw that the ice wolf with a body longer than her height was suddenly filled with panic and fear. After all, the two of them had always been under the protection of Ye Chen and the powerhouses of the Proud Sword Villa, and they had never encountered danger.

Of course, Ye Yixi and Ai Xue have also encountered some phantom beasts when they are so big. However, those phantom beasts are all cute phantom beasts such as snow rabbits that don't hurt people, and this fierce wolf-type phantom beast in front of them has never been encountered.

Although Ye Yixi has no spiritual power, he is a boy after all.

'Protect the light snow. ’

Before the brain could react, the body automatically acted, quickly got up from the snow, pulled Ai Xue to turn around, and ran in the direction of the valley down the snow peak.

No matter how Ye Yixi said it, he was only a ten-year-old human boy, and his running speed naturally couldn't be compared to the Ice Spirit Wolf who was a phantom beast. So when they ran out less than twenty meters, the two of them were chased by the ice wolf.

Seeing the ice wolf chasing after him, Ye Yixi did not stop, but quickly hugged Ai Xue and threw herself forward and fell to the ground. Ai Xue also reflected at this time and understood Ye Yixi's thoughts.

This is a snow peak, although it is not very steep, but it still has a slope. The speed of rolling down the mountain is naturally much faster than running down the mountain with two people.

In the process of rolling down, Ye Yixi used his body to block Ai Xue as much as possible, and used his body to make a meat pad for Ai Xue. Before the Ice Spirit Wolf could react, the two of them had already rolled in the direction of the valley.

Ye Yixi didn't think that he could escape from the pursuit of the ice wolf with Ai Xue, but just wanted to delay as much time as possible and wait for Ye Chen's rescue.

What Ye Yixi did could be said to be the best choice, but he miscalculated one thing, that is, Ye Chen was not in the valley at this time. Because Ye Chen would perform a ritual of forcibly awakening the machine spirit for Ye Yixi every day, if the ritual of awakening the machine spirit was not successful, Ye Chen would leave the valley to look for all kinds of rare phantom beasts on the machine spirit continent at one time, and prepare different 'phantom spirit stones' for Ye Yixi for the next ritual of awakening the machine spirit.

To forcibly awaken the machine spirit in the human body, the spiritual power of the phantom beast is needed to make the machine spirit in the human body resonate with the spirit of the phantom beast, so that the machine spirit in the human body awakens and produces spiritual power. The 'Phantom Spirit Stone' used as a ritual to awaken the machine spirit is generally no different, but according to the research of the 'Doctor of the Machine Spirit' Shu Cheng of the Holy Light Academy, if the 'Phantom Spirit Stone' made of some relatively rare phantom beasts can increase the possibility of the awakening of the machine spirit ceremony, so that some people who do not have spiritual power because the machine spirit does not have natural awakening have spiritual power, or increase the innate spiritual power provided for the master when the machine spirit has just awakened. However, according to Shu Cheng's research, the increase in spiritual power will not exceed ten points at most.

Ye Chen has never given up in the past few years, and has searched almost every gathering place of phantom beasts on the continent, looking for rare phantom beasts to make 'phantom spirit stones' for Ye Yixi.

Ye Yixi rolled down from the snow peak with Ai Xue in his arms, because they were covered by ice and snow, and the two of them didn't feel too much pain. The speed of the two of them rolling down like this was much faster than running down the mountain, and even the Ice Spirit Wolf, who was about to break through two hundred years of cultivation, couldn't catch up with them.

Seeing that the speed of the two of them was getting faster and faster, even if they didn't have the spirit of intelligence, the ice wolf knew that his speed could no longer catch up with the two. With a long roar, he gathered spiritual power in his mouth and spit out a white ball of light forward. It accurately landed on the path that Ye Yixi and Ai Xue had to go down, and the white light instantly turned into an ice wall, blocking the front of the two.

Ye Yixi saw the ice wall that suddenly appeared in front of him, and he didn't have time to think about why it suddenly appeared in front of him, but immediately changed his position with all his strength, and used his body to make a meat pad for Ai Xue.

The pain and chest tightness caused by hitting the ice wall made Ye Yixi obviously feel that he could not breathe. In the blink of an eye, Ye Yixi resumed his breathing, and after taking two sharp breaths, Ye Yiyi felt as if his internal organs were broken. The idea of protecting Ai Xue in his heart supported Ye Yixi's consciousness so that Ye Yixi did not faint in pain.

"Cough, poof~!" The throat was sweet, because the tumbling qi and blood leaves in the body were sprayed on Ai Xue's delicate little face with a mouthful of reverse blood.
