Great Xia.

Capital City.

Power Center.

A highest-level meeting is underway.

A large screen is placed on one side of the conference room, prominently displaying the image of the "Ice Monster Legion."

One of the participants quickly reports on the relevant situation: "Mr. Spirit Crows' ability to create ice monsters, according to the classification in the 'Superpower Secret Scripture,' should belong to the 'Summoning Element' ability.

"Summoning Element is a quite powerful and rare superpower category. Its way of utilizing superpowers has a touch of using a small force to achieve significant effects.

"Simply put, it's about first condensing a Seed of Summoning to leverage more external supernatural powers, ultimately forming summoned creatures.

"Summoners' understanding of supernatural power is often far superior to other categories of superpowers, which is why summoners are so powerful.

"If it weren't for Mr. Spirit Crows actively exhibiting the Ice Monster Legion this time, we would have no idea that Mr. Spirit Crows, apart from being a Beast Tamer, is also a powerful Summoner.

He took a breath and continued to explain.

"According to the evaluation of Jiuzhou Legion, the superpower level of a single ice monster is considerably weaker than that of ordinary superpower users.

"But this doesn't mean the ice monster is weak; in fact, quite the opposite, there's over a ninety percent probability that the ice monster can kill ordinary superpower users on the battlefield.

"The specific reasons are as follows.

"Firstly, as summoned creatures, ice monsters are naturally devoid of pain and do not fear death, granting them an advantage in life-and-death combat.

"Secondly, in icy and snowy environments, ice monsters naturally resemble yetis, able to use the accumulated snow to spontaneously repair their bodies after being wounded, which is also a tremendous advantage.

"Ordinary superpower users cannot recover in a short period after being injured, and their combat effectiveness will decline more or less.

"Again, from the video content, ice monsters evidently possess extremely high agility as summoned creatures.

"In real combat, ice monsters can exert combat power far beyond their own level.

"Just like a weak assassin often can unexpectedly kill a powerful warrior.

"Finally, ice monsters possess an extraordinary level of cooperation among themselves, and the Ice Monster Legion composed of over three hundred ice monsters has combat power equivalent to a thousand superpower users…"

The narrator throws the report onto the table at this point.

He laughs, "There's a lot more content behind, but I'm too lazy to say it. Though the core idea is only one: Mr. Spirit Crows is very formidable; we have once again underestimated Mr. Spirit Crows' power."

The conference room instantly burst into gentle laughter.

Other voices rose immediately.

"At first sight of the ice monster, I felt that this thing was undoubtedly a ruthless killing machine."

"You have the kind of servant that reflects the kind of master; I'm afraid Mr. Spirit Crows is also a cold and unfeeling person at heart."

"Personally, I think the evaluation of 'equivalent to a thousand superpower users' might be too conservative. If a fight really breaks out, the Ice Monster Legion might eliminate two thousand superpower users."

The meeting host, Gongsun Minghe, aptly steered the topic back: "What is Mr. Spirit Crows' purpose in doing this?"

The attendees immediately expressed their views.

"What meaning could there be? If Mr. Spirit Crows is dissatisfied with the State's handling of Xijing City, he'll take matters into his own hands to kill people."

"Tsk tsk! It's how top-tier experts act; is this considered coercing the authorities?"

"Not really coercion, right? At least Mr. Spirit Crows didn't directly kill anyone but showed his stance this way, which still demonstrates some respect for the State."

"The Supernatural Era has already arrived, the future is an era where personal power reigns supreme, we need to change our thinking, future power struggles will inevitably unfold in the form of might."

"That statement is too verbose; let me summarize it for you: having a big fist is the ultimate truth, Mr. Spirit Crows' big fists mean his voice is loud."

The meeting host, Gongsun Minghe, spoke up: "Everyone, let's discuss how we should address the current chaos in Xijing City."

He paused, then emphasized: "This time, Great Xia's approach to handling Xijing City will become a model for similar events; this might be why Mr. Spirit Crows suddenly got involved in this matter."

A participant immediately stated, "Times of chaos require severe measures. At this time, these people still daring to plunder within, really dare to raise yetis in the city, I believe we should take a strong action!"

Another participant promptly agreed, "While the Age of Calamity is just beginning, it's better to establish rules early, or if the atmosphere worsens later on, it will take much more effort to rectify it."

But there were also dissenting voices.

"Although the people of Xijing City are a pestilent group, according to the current law, their crimes aren't deathworthy."

"I also think so; arrest those who should be arrested, judge those who should be judged, let them do hard labor to contribute a bit to Great Xia."

The conference room quickly split into two factions.

Gongsun Minghe slightly furrowed his brow.

He knew very well, on the surface, that both sides were discussing the treatment plan for Xijing City's incident.

In reality, the two factions have differing stances, with this case merely being a fuse.

In a nutshell, supporters belong to the reformists, while opponents are conservatives.

Reformists believe that the future is the era of superpowers, and Great Xia should accelerate its pace of reform with a focus on superpowers to cope with greater crises.

Conservatives aren't entirely against reform but argue that a prudent approach should be taken, avoiding overly fast and radical reforms that could result in untamable chaos.
