Leng Shengnan sat cross-legged, seemingly long accustomed to such a harsh environment. The blizzard had turned her short hair into ice needles, and the moisture at the corners of her eyes had frozen into ice shards, yet her expression did not change in the slightest.

[Little Nine] sat on her shoulder, cloaked in a ghostly blue cape and hood, resembling an exquisite doll. Its back was adorned with six translucent ice crystal wings, from which tiny ice flakes scattered, as if it longed for the millennium ice frog frozen in the ice.

[Great General], suspended in the air, seemed to sense the Wisdom Sword Stone in Leng Shengnan's hand. The sword emitted a gentle humming sound.

She took a deep breath, placing the millennium ice frog and the Wisdom Sword Stone in front of her, then took out large chunks of Ice Attribute Ether Crystals, ranging from Tier Three to Tier Five, piling them into a small mountain.

"Let's begin."

[Little Nine] landed on the ice block formed by the millennium ice frog, a deep blue radiance blossomed from within it, enveloping the millennium ice frog underneath and the nearby Ice Attribute Ether Crystals.

[Great General] was then grasped out of thin air by Leng Shengnan, who held it horizontally, then began to grind it against the Wisdom Sword Stone as if sharpening the sword.

Whish—

What on earth the Wisdom Sword Stone was made of was unknown, but even a gentle scrape could visibly thin it by half, while in contrast, a beam of sword light lit up on the blade of the Ice Sword Spirit, transmitting along the hilt to Leng Shengnan.

Throughout this process, even though the Ice Sword Spirit was not the protagonist in the evolution, used only as an intermediary to help Leng Shengnan and the Ice Fairy digest the Wisdom Sword Stone, it was not without benefit.

It was evident that a portion of the sword light remained on the Ice Sword Spirit, making its form more crystalline and solid.

Swish, swish, swish—

The sword light on Leng Shengnan's body grew increasingly bright, reaching its peak the moment the Wisdom Sword Stone was worn away.

Meanwhile, the Ice Fairy had almost forcibly absorbed all the spiritual materials into its body.

It was time to begin!

The glow emanating from Leng Shengnan's whole body intensified as she released the Ice Sword Spirit, allowing it to emit a hum and begin circling around her.

"Little Nine!"

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!!"

Within the link of the contract, the Ice Fairy suddenly transformed into a ball of light and collided with Leng Shengnan's chest.

The two beams of light, one large and one small, began to merge.

Subsequently, the ice-blue light abruptly inundated the mountaintop!

On one side, Bai Wu and Han Lingxi standing on the bird's back, were intently watching her, sensing her condition.

Lin Guang and Chelina also watched intently without averting their gaze.

Evolution commenced!

Amidst the bone-chilling light.

Leng Shengnan only felt an endless cold seeping into her bone marrow, as if her blood would freeze, her internal organs seems to be frozen and riddled by the icy chill.

Since she awakened her talent, this was the first time Leng Shengnan felt she might freeze to death from the cold.

Yet Leng Shengnan was also aware of these risks, knowing now was the critical moment of evolution.

"Hang in there!"

The Ice Fairy continually unleashed its power amidst the extreme cold baptism, while Leng Shengnan endured the pain, gritting her teeth, refusing to let her consciousness be devoured by the cold.

She was like a lone boat in the sea, at risk of capsizing at any moment.

But as the cold persisted, Leng Shengnan suddenly felt...

She seemed to no longer feel the cold.

As the Ice Fairy absorbed the power of the Wisdom Sword Stone, a portion of it also worked on her, enabling her to sever the pain and even spare some thought for other matters.

—— When she first heard Lin Guang mention this highly risky evolutionary path, what was her initial reaction?

Overjoyed? Deep in thought?

Neither.

In fact, the first reaction wasn't laden with much emotion, there was only a sense of...

Familiarity.

Many knew her uncle Bai Wu had once invited a Miracle Master to attempt an evolution for the Ice Fairy.

But few knew that the matter, and that Miracle Master, were in fact facilitated by her father Bai Shou.

Her father, an Intermediate Researcher, had always wanted to find an evolutionary path for the Ice Fairy.

Back then, his proposal was nearly as aggressive as Lin Guang's, but it wasn't as comprehensive, and the direction chosen was of the Ghost type... Reflecting now, her father's path was very likely heading towards an Ice Blade Armor Demon.

Of course, it ended in an unremarkable failure.

No one got hurt, after all Bai Wu possessed great control and was bold due to his skills. Hence, his Ice Fairy was unharmed, yet the experiment did demand a significant wealth expenditure... Nonetheless, neither the family nor anyone took this failure seriously—except for Leng Shengnan who sulked because her father had once again botched something for her most admired uncle Bai Wu.

But...

A few days later, Bai Shou left town.

It coincided with the beast tide and Demon Race invasion eleven years ago.

Thus, it became his last experiment.

Looking back, the day she parted from her father was equally uneventful, she never anticipated it being the day her fate altered.

Perhaps the decisive, timeless style she later embraced, leaving no regret behind, began from that moment.

Leng Shengnan softly murmured, "Father..."

Bai Xiang swiftly spread across her body.

The following moment, whether it was Lin Guang or the two venue owners, their faces changed.

The light began to gradually consolidate, disappearing to reveal a white human-shaped ice sculpture within.

Even the Ice Sword Spirit swirling beside also slowed down, halting at her chest, spinning slowly.

This indicated her mental activities were gradually slowing, affecting the Ice Sword Spirit.

Maintaining the Cold Heaven Fluctuating Sword, Bai Wu's eyes widened, veins bulging on his arms.

——To maintain the least interference status, the Cold Heaven Fluctuating Sword consistently sustained a constant temperature. Beyond that, he dared not generate any Spiritual Power Fluctuation, unable to probe, and naturally unaware of the current situation, much less knowing if he should interrupt this adventure, unsure if his action would become the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Han Lingxi's eyes narrowed slightly, while Chelina's orange eyes showed a hint of concern.

Only in Lin Guang's faintly glowing eyes, a trace of smile appeared abruptly.

Very good.

The next moment, the ice sculpture's eyes suddenly illuminated with an ice-blue radiance.

The intense will concentrated in those eyes attracted everyone's attention!

In an instant, an ice-blue beam of light shot into the sky, raising a fierce wind that blew away all the snow on the mountaintop.

In the beam of light, an armor-clad hand suddenly extended, grasping the hilt of the Ice Sword Spirit spinning at her chest.

——That day she was still annoyed with Bai Shou, she left without saying goodbye to him.

Regret?

Of course, there's regret.

Thus, she never wished to regret again for the rest of her life.

If the chance to change destiny was today... then don't put it off until tomorrow!!

The beam of light slowly dissipated.

In Bai Wu's extremely excited gaze.

In Han Lingxi's emotional look.

In the mutual smile exchanged between Chelina and Lin Guang after they looked at each other.

Leng Shengnan's figure, appeared on the mountain peak.

However, at this moment, she had already undergone a significant transformation.

Leng Shengnan lowered her gaze to her light blue full-body armor that sparkled with a cold gleam—it was not some bulky, fierce heavy armor but a female armor reflecting agility and harmonious aesthetics in every inch of its lines, and behind were the six ice crystal wings belonging to the Ice Fairy.

The Ice Sword Spirit she held was also covered by a layer of encasing ice, turning into a solid two-handed greatsword, becoming its core, reflecting a resplendent brilliance akin to a glass-like blade.
