Chapter 1678 - 993: Night in Motion!

"I really must apologize, teacher. Your handwritten scroll was taken by another noble person not long ago..."

Uh... Are there really so many noble people in this world?

Like cabbages?

Sui Yi pondered carefully for a moment and said, "I’ll give it to you in five days."

Not even asking for a reward?

The Master of the Ice Heart Studio chuckled lightly, "Very good, very good..."

The three soon left, and Sui Yi saw Yi standing like a post on the path outside the school.

The two walked side by side.

"The Master of the Ice Heart Studio, Ice Master, Seo Qingfeng, Snow Lord, which one?" Yi asked.

"Ice Master"

Sui Yi didn’t explain why, only that she could feel an extraordinary hidden killing intent beneath this Ice Master’s cold and ruthless façade.

Considering that the Thousand Buddha suddenly targeted him, the only explanation was that a sufficiently powerful and high-status person had used strong intelligence methods to lock onto her.

"Just arrived and already arranged for people to watch me, it seems no matter if I’m looking for the Arrow of the Witch Emperor or Cangwu Fragments, they’ll keep a close eye on me..."

Sui Yi rotated the Beak of the Golden Crow.

Her little brother, a Primordial Spirit, had an excessive obsession with her...

"Did you just not reach an agreement with the Ice Venerable?"

"If I said no, would you believe me?"

Sui Yi’s expression was very serious, and Yi’s demeanor was also very calm.

"So, were you two just chatting under the covers?"

Uh.... that statement... isn’t very appropriate.

"The important thing is everyone else thinks you’ve reached some agreement with her, or the Ice Master may think so too."

"I’m helpless..."

She couldn’t just say they were flirting with each other.

Sui Yi smiled faintly, "That Ice Venerable... curious about my background, but not wanting to lower herself. Probably wants to see how much I can contend with the Thousand Buddha or the Ice Master.... For her, cooperation requires being on the same level."

A very competent superior mindset.

Yi furrowed his brow, "She thinks you’re weak."

"Not only that, she thinks I’m ugly too."

Yi glanced at Sui Yi, "Um, you are a bit ugly."

Sui Yi: "....."

As if you’re very beautiful right now.

Of course, regarding the noble person in the Purple Sky District mentioned by the Master of the Ice Heart Studio, Sui Yi and Yi vaguely felt something was off about the other party. But since the Thousand Buddha had already emerged, and the Ice Master had been exposed, they weren’t worried about encountering another one, so Sui Yi planned to watch and see.

The next class was in five days; the following day, Sui Yi shuttled between the library and home, a regular routine without anything different. However, she managed to find the remaining seven White Paper Books—all nine of them—in just two days without sleep, then stayed at home...

The new power at the Cloud Ascendant Level had been thoroughly mastered by her. With two avatars in the Cloud Ascendant Realm, she made flexible adjustments back and forth. Sui Yi wasn’t in a hurry to advance in terms of energy; instead, she studied and reorganized the Ice Snow Techniques from the nine White Paper Books into the nine most basic Ice Snow Techniques.

Offensive series: Floating Ice Sharp Sword, Frost Ring, Ice Flame, Ice Storm.

Defense: Ice Protection, Mirror Barrier (from the Ice Magic in the game Warcraft).

Support series: Ice Spirit Insight, Frost Jaw, Ice Cage.

Nine techniques, Four Ring Attack, Double Defense.

Sui Yi’s comprehension was so abnormal that she deduced the Ice Venerable’s nine primitive ice spells from the nine White Paper Books, which are also the strongest ice spells.

But deducing them doesn’t mean she can master them at a glance.

"Mastering all of the Nine Ice Spells is not easy.... Although all techniques in the world may change, they do not deviate from their origin. The root of witchcraft comes from Witch Energy and cannot be controlled without it. Some forbidden techniques can only be used by witches. So far, only Wu Jue and I can use them infinitely, as we’re naturally gifted with this talent. However, in today’s era, not as many techniques have such requirements... It’s like different professions and different fields. To digest all the Nine Ice Spells in a short time, it’s crucial to find the connection points between them..."

Sui Yi continuously rehearsed the principles of the nine ice spells on paper; late at night, she looked at the clock on the wall.

Past midnight, why haven’t they returned yet?

Usually, Yi and Green Bean traveled together, and since they were in the Ice Gleam Academy area, Sui Yi wasn’t worried. But she always felt a kind of undercurrent in this area these past days.

Whoosh!

Sui Yi appeared on the railing, snapping the fingers of her left hand, and from the fingertip emerged a small ice light. The flicker of light produced nine slender ice streams, catching snowflakes in the air, forming countless eyes of snow, spreading throughout the vast Ice Gleam Core Area...

—— Ice Spirit Insight!

Three seconds.

One of the Ice Spirit Eyes allowed Sui Yi to see a secluded street southeast of Ice Gleam Academy... and felt fluctuations of a binding technique’s aura!

This kind of technique also isolates the aura of the person bound.

If Sui Yi hadn’t been able to see Yi through that Binding Technique, she might not have found her.

Sui Yi frowned, and her figure disappeared from the railing.

————————

The Binding Technique was a cage wrapped in layers of green vines, with poisonous leaves that Yi didn’t dare to touch easily. With a twist of his right hand, he sliced through the rapidly attacking spikes one after another; however, the cage kept shrinking, getting smaller and smaller.

Flipping his left hand, Yi tossed three marble-sized crystal spheres to the ground.

Simultaneously, single-handedly gripping a dagger, its tip pointed at the ground.

Energy potion—Boom!!

The immense explosive force seemed to swallow Yi whole, but fiercely also...

And the dagger in Yi’s hand had already fired a mysterious ray, enveloping her.

—— Invisibility, Phantom Flicker.

Wham.

Yi flickered to a nearby rooftop, barely stable, when a shadow appeared behind her. The cold breath carried a dizzying scent to her mind. In the moment before her mind turned chaotic, Yi’s hand had already thrown out two more Explosive Potion Balls...

Boom!

The shadow was struck and smashed to the ground.

Charred black, yet Yi’s face changed dramatically because her feet were already entwined by vines... The tips of the vines, with poisonous needles, pierced in, injecting venom...

Vaguely, she saw many eyes lurking in the dark alley below, gloomily staring at her.

Swish, swish, Yi quickly sliced her thigh twice, forcing the poison-contaminated blood to expel through her meridians.

However, five shadows below had already charged up...

She remained motionless, reverse-gripping her dagger, her eyes that were once cold instantly turned murderous.

The energy within her body surged... Bang!

The gleaming light streamed like threads, with two swift flashes, it slit throats and beheaded heads....

Out of five people, two were killed, three remained....

The three people’s palms ignited with toxic fire, carrying potent anesthesia...

Suddenly, frost enveloped.

The three hands froze inches from her chest, back, and head.

Yi kicked away an ice sculpture in front of her, looking at Sui Yi, who had just arrived.

Sui Yi’s fingers quickly tapped on her brow, magnetic sensation flowed in, cleansing all the venom inside Yi in an instant, infusing energy, replenishing her depletion, even healing her wounds.

Yi exhaled a cold breath, glanced at the corpses on the ground, and exchanged a look with the other.

— Flame Metal Puppet?

Boom!

"It’s Green Bean, she’s with Qi Ying and others."

The sound of explosion and combat made both rush out simultaneously.

Originally, Green Bean and Yi were together, but Qi Ying and others with Green Bean belonged to the same specialty, they had to pass a pharmaceutical material store on the way, while Yi needed to head to another Energy Ore Store, so they separated briefly, unexpectedly Yi was attacked midway.

At this time, it was curfew, apart from students, most people wouldn’t be out...

At this moment..

The people from the pharmaceutical material store, hearing the sound, rushed out and saw some people a thousand meters ahead had fallen down, while others were resisting some strange creatures...

Sirens wailed.

Suddenly, holes opened up on those puppet people’s bodies.

"It’s poison gas! Disperse quickly!"

Qi Ying, being the chief student of the third year in the pharmacognosy poison specialty, naturally recognized the poison gas, shouted....

The poison gas had already swept up.

It covered everyone, glowing green, spreading in a diameter of over ten meters...

Nearby shops, long closed, had people waking up to take a look...

The poison gas was spreading, but it halted at over ten meters.

Swish, swish, swish, three arrows shot in, crushing three puppets, piercing into the ground, frosting!

Some people hurried out, among them in a nearby store, several techniques immediately reacted, seemingly also students, one directly performing hand seals.

"Dispel!"

This technique was strong, dispersing the massive poison gas quickly.

However... within the dispelled poison gas, only a semicircular blue gaseous shield remained, inside was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl furiously tossing out detoxifying potions, forming a barrier to protect her and five others inside it.

But... what about the others?

Seeing Yi appear, Green Bean shouted: "They captured Sister Qi and the others... underground!"

Yi swiftly went underground, with Sui Yi’s magnetic sensation piercing into the ground at her feet, safeguarding her as if divinely assisted, swiftly obliterating five puppets and rescuing people.

Ice Spirit Guards arrived.

Hearing Green Bean’s shout, they quickly blocked ahead.

Going underground, ice magic erupted.

Boom!

The ground was entirely overturned.. within a blink, more than ten underground puppets were instantly eliminated.

Unfortunately, the people were gone.

What happened!

"They have a leader! Damn!"

This leader had already left the Ice Spirit Guard’s area, dragging more than ten young, extraordinarily talented students of Ice Gleam beneath the ground, but in a moment, they arrived at a serene park.

The unconscious students floated on the park’s lake surface, under the water a strange ripple rose, the ripple coalesced, and the glossy black puppet armor surfaced, revealing the head, then the upper body, finally the legs.

This was a short and stout puppet, with water droplets flowing over it.

It extended a metallic palm, from which shot out dozens of curse techniques...

The curse techniques spread towards the dozen students...

Suddenly! The water surface erupted, the water surged violently.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, massive ice blocks collided, blocking these curse techniques, and rapidly forming a gigantic frost sharp sword!

The puppet person, taken aback...

The floating ice sharp sword fiercely slashed down!

Buzz....

The puppet person crossed its metallic arms in defense.

Boom!

The nearby ground froze into ice, and frost burst forth.

The puppet person roared, the eyes inside the helmet instantly locked onto the void.

In the void, a young man levitated.
