The faces of the Honorary Aristocrats around Lake Ze An were all dusty and dirtied by the splash Wuwei made. Only some stronger ones were able to avoid it with their ability.
In the crowd, Xiao Shengzhe looked in the direction of Lake Ze An, his glare cold and stormy.
“This Hong Dali is strong, indeed. Or should I say, lucky.” Xiao Shengzhe narrowed his eyes and said, “He actually encountered the Black Flood Dragon’s transformation. It is not easy to be so lucky. But that’s not a bad thing. Once I kill him, my reputation will soar. When I’m at the High Nobles headquarters, I’ll be put in a more important position. It’s not the right time to strike now. I need to see his real ability.”
The reason why Xiao Shengzhe was so confident was that, in a past encounter, he had found a treasure.
A real treasure!
It was a bracelet left behind from other clans during the last 10,000-year war! That bracelet looked ordinary on the surface, but its hidden ability was extremely powerful!
It could increase one’s strength by fifteen times! Fifteen times! For ten minutes! The cool-down period was, however, forty-eight hours, or two days.
The effect of this bracelet was Xiao Shengzhe’s biggest trump card.
What he was lacking was an opportunity. An opportunity to soar to the skies.
He needed a proper opponent, an opponent that even the High Nobles had their eyes on, whom he could properly defeat in front of everyone. Then, he would be able to enter the High Nobles headquarters and begin his special training!
It was not an exaggeration to say that with this bracelet, when Xiao Shengzhe became Stellar-level, even the Thirteen High Operatives would not be his match.
Initially, he was worried about this matter. After all, it was not easy to find a heavy-weight opponent. Now, Hong Dali appeared.
“Hong Dali,” Xiao Shengzhe chuckled. “You will become my stepping stone for me to attain my goals. Hahaha!”
…
On the other side, Tang Muxin and the others.
Down the burrow that the little Ice Blue Rabbit brought them, when they entered, they found a completely different world.
The burrow started off narrow and they could only crawl through. After about ten meters, it gradually became bigger.
Soon, it was about one meter high. Another ten over meters and it became about two meters high.
“This place looks very mysterious.” Tang Muxin looked down the burrow as it got wider and wider. She exclaimed. “Who would have thought there would be such a huge cave below this burrow?”
“Yeah, what a magical creation.” Lucifer looked around and nodded. “It’s extraordinary, indeed. Did you realize, the further down we go, the cooler it gets. What kind of situation is this?”
“The air circulation is good here,” Lin Chuyin said softly. “The current temperature is about 15°C.”
“Are there animals living here?” Zhang Yi asked.
Of course, the Ice Blue Rabbit was not able to answer their questions. This little guy could only lead the way. This time, it moved ahead for another few hundred meters and stopped, not daring to proceed further.
At this moment, the temperature had dropped to sub-zero. Ice formed on the walls.
“It’s a little cold.” Tang Muxin could see her breath as she breathed out. “I wonder what this place is. There must be something strange about things going wrong. There must be something good inside!”
“There should be.” Lucifer nodded. “Come, let’s go in further to take a look.”
The Ice Blue Rabbit dared not proceed further. Hence, Tang Muxin and the others went on to explore the place.
The depth of the underground cave was unknown. They walked for about half an hour and the temperature became lower and lower. Finally, after a turn of the corner, the scene that everyone saw shocked them.
It was a cave more than 30 meters high.
It was not surprising that there was such a big cave underground. The surprising thing was an ice platform in the middle of the cave. Surrounding it was a pool of water, its depth unknown. Surrounding the pool were ice frosts. It looked very strange.
Of course, no one cared if the surroundings were strange or not.
Everyone’s attention was on the ice platform in the middle of the cave. On the ice platform was a pale-blue stone. The little stone gave out mist. Needless to ask, this was definitely a Soul Stone!
“Soul Stone, there’s really a Soul Stone here!” Tang Muxin stared with her eyes wide open. “Its type, this…”
“It should be an Ice Soul Stone.” Lucifer touched his chin. “Miss Xinxin, you are a water attribute elemental revolving mage in the virtual world. And this is an ice type Soul Stone. This must be fate!”
“Hehe, it’s indeed lucky hanging out with Dali!” Tang Muxin was clearly in a good mood. “So, I’ll go try?”
“Yes, yes.” The others nodded.
Tang Muxin was a water attribute elemental revolving mage in the virtual world. And now they found an Ice Soul Stone. This must be tailor-made for her. Who else would use it, if not her?
“Wait first.” Lin Chuyin stopped Tang Muxin. She knelt down beside the pool, took out a thermometer from her pocket, and put it in the water. “Oh, -128°C.”
Water that was -128°C!
“Sister Chuyin, you carry even this with you?” Tang Muxin was shocked. “This water is -128°C?”
“I’m a researcher, it’s natural to bring small instruments with me.” Lin Chuyin thought it was normal. “How do we get across this pool?”
This question really stumped everyone.
The water, which was -128°C, would freeze anyone who went into the pool to death in no time!
“No, how about I jump over?” Zhang Yi’s attributes were very high. It would not be a problem for her to jump over such a long distance.
“Don’t be hasty.” Lin Chuyin thought about it. This time she took out a screwdriver and handed it to Zhang Yi. “Try throwing it across.”
“Okay!” Zhang Yi took the screwdriver and forcefully threw it out. The screwdriver shot like a bullet toward the frozen platform, and then…
It got instantly frozen…
“This…” This time, everyone was flabbergasted.
From this, it could be seen that this soul stone definitely had ice properties and furthermore, it was super powerful, even more powerful than the one Li Tianxing had! But they could only see it and not touch it. The anxiety was overwhelming.
“What can I do?” Tang Muxin stomped her foot anxiously.
Water that was -128°C, an ice platform that would instantly freeze anyone who touched, these were enough to drive anyone crazy!
“Perhaps, we can ask for aid.” Lucifer touched his chin, then suddenly walked to the edge of the pool, crouched down, and shouted toward the water, “Hey, is there any living thing inside? If there is, come out quickly. Young Master’s wife needs help!”
Everyone: “…” Speaking of which, who shouted things out like that?
Tang Muxin’s petite face blushed. “I’m, I’m not Dali’s wife. Not, not yet…”
Of course, whether she was or not was unimportant now. What was important was that after Lucifer finished shouting his question, there was actually some movement in the water!
“There is really a living thing in there?!” Everyone’s eyes instantly widened in surprise.
Was it possible there were living things living in -128°C water? This world was simply unbelievable!
Soon, a dark shadow appeared in the pool. The shadow was about one meter in size. They had no idea what it was, but they could vaguely make out that this thing had two hands and two feet. The hands and feet were neither long nor big. The head was linearly connected to the body and it looked something like a dolphin.
“Miwu…” Soon, the black shadow finally emerged from the water. It really looked similar to a dolphin. It had a white body, and its hands and feet were similar in appearance to those of a penguin. Lin Chuyin looked at it and then said, “Belonging to the Penguin Order, Penguin Class, Dolphin Penguin.”
Everyone: “…”
Good classification!
“Brother.” Lucifer looked at the dolphin penguin in front of him. “This is Young Master Hong Dali’s fiancee, she needs your help now—can you see the stone over there? Can you bring it to us…”
“Miwu…” As if it understood Lucifer’s words, the dolphin penguin immediately returned to the water. When it appeared again, it had reached the frozen platform and with a bite, picked up the Soul Stone!
They had the Soul Stone!
“Miwu…” It gave Tang Muxin the Soul Stone then with another cry, the dolphin penguin returned to the water.
Good job!
Tang Muxin took the Soul Stone, looked around, then looked at Lin Chuyin.
“Well, here you go.” Lin Chuyin took out a knife from her pocket.
Everyone: “…”
Was her jacket pocket a bottomless treasure chest?
After making a small cut on her finger, Tang Muxin closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again—her entire body had undergone a tremendous change!
The clothes that she had originally bought were gradually morphing. When all her clothing had finished transforming, everyone was awestruck.
It was an ice blue dress with an ice-blue translucent cloak behind it. The Black-level Honorary Aristocrat trench coat did not change, but the color turned ice-blue.
Now Tang Muxin had two ice-blue tendrils in her black hair which hung softly down. She looked even more beautiful than before.
“Hehe, this is what it’s like.” Tang Muxin giggled and then gently lifted her hand. “Snowman!”
Suddenly, from the ground, a snowstorm swirled. When it had calmed down, a snowman about two-meters-high appeared!
The snowman itself was not important. The important thing was that the snowman was actually alive!
