Linjiang City.

South District.

After more than two hours.

Beside the towering ice pillar.

Captain Qin Deguang of the Jiuzhou Legion once again met the renowned Mr. Spirit Crows.

The man glanced at him and was slightly surprised.

Mr. Spirit Crows had a faint white mist swirling intermittently within a few meters around him.

The white mist moved unpredictably, disappearing and reappearing again.

Qin Deguang remembered clearly that the first time he met Mr. Spirit Crows, this phenomenon was not present around him.

A burly superpower user nearby, known as "Da Liu," whispered, "Xiaoqin, I feel the boss's power has improved again. What do you think?"

Qin Deguang lowered his voice and replied, "I personally feel it has improved more than just a little."

Da Liu was a bit surprised, "Really?"

In just a little over two hours, he had improved "more than just a little"? Isn't that an exaggeration?

Even if he were growing rapidly, it shouldn't be this fast, right?!

Qin Deguang glanced again at the white mist around Mr. Spirit Crows, "This white mist is very similar to the mist of an Ice Demon, and it feels extremely dangerous.

"I estimate that the temperature of the white mist is below minus one hundred and fifty degrees, containing a powerful ice superpower, and it could instantly freeze you into a popsicle.

"This is likely a new technique Mr. Spirit Crows has just realized after battling Primordial Monsters. Do you still think it's just a slight improvement?"

Da Liu swallowed and muttered softly, "Impressive!"

Qin Deguang agreed, "Indeed!"

He got stronger from a fight, what kind of non-human beings are these?

A few superpower users gathered around them, all belonging to the Fifth War Zone division.

They all heard the conversation between the two, and their expressions subtly changed.

Further away.

A thousand soldiers gathered, with hundreds of large trucks parked nearby.

They had all received orders to carry out an important task there.

Qin Deguang glanced at the black-robed figure not far away and asked, "What is Mr. Spirit Crows still waiting for?"

Da Liu shook his head, "I don't know."

This guy paused for a moment and said, "If the boss tells you to wait, you just wait obediently. Why so many questions?!"

Qin Deguang pursed his lips, about to speak.

He suddenly saw Mr. Spirit Crows "puff" into a burst of cold energy.

The next instant.

A swirl of white mist surged a few meters away.

Mr. Spirit Crows' figure quickly emerged from it.

Qin Deguang was stunned for a moment and hurriedly greeted, "Mr. Spirit Crows, hello!"

Da Liu's sturdy form involuntarily shrank slightly and followed suit, "Mr. Spirit Crows, hello!"

Yang Fan looked at Qin Deguang and asked, "Were you the one chased by an Ice Demon down half a street?"

Qin Deguang uttered an "uh", somewhat awkwardly nodding, "Yes."

Besides the awkwardness, he also felt a bit honored to be spoken to directly by the boss.

Yang Fan answered his earlier question, "Regarding opening the portal to the Primordial World, I'm waiting for an opportune moment."

Qin Deguang nodded quickly, "I see."

In truth, he didn't understand what an "opportune moment" meant.

But he felt that acting clueless in front of the boss seemed rather foolish.

Yang Fan explained in more detail, "The Primordial World and Canglan Star can be thought of as the two banks of a river.

"The river constantly changes, sometimes its currents are rapid, sometimes calm.

"If you try to cross during rapid currents, you might fall in and be swept far away, possibly even drowning."

Qin Deguang finally understood, "So you're waiting for a calm moment in the current."

Yang Fan nodded, "Exactly."

Qin Deguang suddenly didn't know what to say.

He considered himself a calm person, able to handle even high-ranking officers of the Jiuzhou Legion with ease.

But facing Mr. Spirit Crows made him feel like a schoolkid, unsure where to put his hands and feet.

Yang Fan glanced at him and said, "It seems you've somewhat grasped the essence of cold energy, right?"

Qin Deguang was taken aback, extremely surprised, "You even noticed that?"

Earlier, he had watched Mr. Spirit Crows perform a secret technique, smashing an iceberg instantly, forming an ice pillar.

Somehow he felt a shift, and his spiritual power became more active, but he didn't know why.

Only now he understood that this realization was the "essence of cold energy."

Qin Deguang sincerely asked for guidance, "Mr. Spirit Crows, what is the essence of cold energy?"

Yang Fan didn't explain directly but said, "Try deploying your superpower to form a cold energy ball the size of a marble on your fingertip."

Qin Deguang was a bit perplexed but followed the instructions.

This guy raised a finger, exerted all his strength, and began channeling his superpower.

After several seconds, a thin white mist formed.

Yang Fan raised a finger and said, "This is the essence of cold energy."

Just after he finished speaking.

A cold energy ball formed.

Da Liu glanced at his colleague, then at Mr. Spirit Crows, and couldn't help but smirk slightly.

Mr. Spirit Crows' cold energy ball formed rapidly and was very dense with cold energy.

However, his colleague's cold energy ball appeared after much effort and looked quite thin.

The difference was too great!

Qin Deguang's attitude became even more earnest, "Mr. Spirit Crows, can you offer me some guidance?"

Yang Fan smiled, "I can't guide you specifically on how to enhance the cold energy, but I can point you to a path."

Qin Deguang poised himself to listen intently, "Please go ahead."

Yang Fan suddenly asked, "Do you feel, at the coldest time each night, that there's a lively sensation of cold energy inside you?"

Qin Deguang was astonished, "How did you know?"

Yang Fan smiled slightly and continued, "Perhaps you could pursue your superpower path from the extreme cold of nature."

Qin Deguang listened, slightly puzzled, "Mr. Spirit Crows, how should I do this?"

Yang Fan casually mentioned two places, "Antarctic or Arctic."

Qin Deguang was thoughtful.

Yang Fan looked up at the sky, "It's about time!"

The next moment.

"Buzz!"

The ice pillar began to vibrate.

Yang Fan disappeared.

Qin Deguang snapped back to reality and hastily said, "Thank you for your guidance."

Da Liu remarked, "The boss is gone; saying thanks now is a bit late."

Qin Deguang didn't reply, his gaze wandering slightly.

Da Liu asked, "Xiaoqin, are you really planning to go to the North and South Poles?"

Qin Deguang suddenly made up his mind, "Of course! I'll submit the application soon."

Da Liu tried to dissuade him, "I heard terrible ice storms have appeared at the poles, and all the Kimo People from the Arctic region have relocated. You might die there."

Qin Deguang's tone was firm, "I want to become stronger!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but recall the scene of being chased by the Ice Demon.

He was scared half to death by the Ice Demon, yet Mr. Spirit Crows effortlessly killed it.

He hoped to become as strong as Mr. Spirit Crows.

Da Liu didn't try to stop him any further, "Alright, may you return alive."

Qin Deguang nodded, "I will return alive, of course."

Afterward.

The two fell silent.

A few seconds passed.

Qin Deguang sensed something, "It's coming!"

The next moment.

A sudden change erupted.

"Whoo~"

A fierce gale suddenly blew.

Fortunately, everyone was prepared, each hiding behind a cover, and thus weren't blown away by the wind.

Moments later.

More than a dozen Ice Demons appeared out of nowhere near the ice pillar.

Qin Deguang took one look and felt his scalp tingling.

What the hell!

They're back again!
