Chapter 996 - Test!

Chapter 996 Test!

“Bastard, since he said that I’ll stop at the imperial stage, then why can’t I advance to imperial stage even after so many years?” Frost Monarch’s expression turned wild. He looked at Ling Lan with bloodshot eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, “Mu Shui-qing is a god-realm formidable warrior now. You managed to become half step into imperial stage at a young age because you know the secret of advancing to imperial stage, right?”

Frost Monarch found an excuse for his failure. He lost to Mu Shui-qing not because Mu Shui-qing was stronger than him. It was because he knew a shortcut.

“Damn it, why didn’t he tell me?” Frost Monarch shouted angrily. He felt that he was fooled by Mu Shui-qing.

Ling Lan took a step back cautiously when she saw Frost Monarch turning crazy. Luckily, the Heptashield protected her seamlessly.

Frost Monarch was really driven mad by his own thoughts. His mind was filled with murderous intent. “Since you fooled me, don’t blame me for being merciless. I’ll destroy your disciple and end your legacy. Hahaha…”

Frost Monarch laughed crazily. His wrinkled face shook as he laughed. Amidst his crazy laughter, the sky suddenly turned dark.

A wall of blue ice appeared above them and was getting thicker slowly. The thicker it got, the darker the color. The light that was able to shine through it got dimmer and dimmer too. Not only that, the same wall of ice appeared on the ground a few meters away.

In an instant, Ling Lan and Frost Monarch were enclosed in an ice box. Only the ice element existed in this box.

By right, an ice element domain realm master should love an enclosed space filled with ice elements. However, Ling Lan wasn’t happy about this at all, as she was in grave danger. The ice element in this space couldn’t be controlled by her. That meant that she was rejected by the ice element in this space.

“This is Frost Monarch’s domain territory.” This was the only explanation for this phenomenon.

Not only was Ling Lan able to understand how it felt to be discriminated against by the ice element that had always adored her, but she also felt the drain on her spiritual power which was maintaining the Heptashield, as the amount of spiritual power she used to maintain the Heptashield for another second was double of what she used the second before. That meant that she would use more and more spiritual power as time passed by.

It looked like this world discriminated against other forms of energy too.

Ling Lan frowned. Her spiritual power was strong and ample but it couldn’t withstand such a depletion rate. If this continued on, her spiritual power would be exhausted in less than 10 minutes.

Rather than waiting for her spiritual power to be depleted, she would take the risk!

Ling Lan was a ruthless person, whether to herself or to other people.

She let go of her Heptashield and released all her spiritual power.

“Spiritual blast!”

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Multiple explosions occurred in the ice box. The spiritual blast impacted the domain territory heavily.

“Pfft!” Ling Lan and Frost Monarch vomited out blood simultaneously. Their faces went pale too.

Ling Lan used her spiritual blast to hurt Frost Monarch. However, she received a backlash too. Frost Monarch’s ice box was unable to withstand the force from all the spiritual blast so the remaining damage was sustained by Frost Monarch.

“This is your trump card?” Blood kept dripping down the corner of his mouth, showing that he was injured heavily. “Mu Shui-qing’s disciple is only capable of this?”

He suddenly straightened his hunched back. He waved his ice walking stick and shouted, “Die!” His face had turned hideous from his anger.

Six walls of ice quickly formed all around Ling Lan. They started closing in on her from six different directions.

Ling Lan wanted to move but she realized that she couldn’t. She could only watch as the six ice walls moved towards her and trapped her inside.

There seemed to be an unlimited amount of ice particles in this place. The walls of ice around Ling Lan got thicker. She was successfully trapped inside.

Ling Lan felt that it was getting harder to breathe. She never felt cold before but now she felt the coldness seeping into her skin. It reached into her bones.

She never expected herself to die by the ice element. For some reason, Ling Lan didn’t think about how to survive. She was just astounded that she was trapped by her own element.

“Boss, stop wasting time. Think about your other innate talent.” Little Four stomped his foot anxiously.

“Ah!” The moment he finished speaking, he suddenly fell backwards and disappeared from Ling Lan’s mindscape.

Little Four appeared on top of a mountain. He lowered his head and twirled his fingers helplessly. ‘Sob, can I leave this place? I don’t want to face that scary instructor!’

Unfortunately, Little Four’s wish was not fulfilled. He was the virtual god and the owner of the main chip that made up this space, but there were still people he was afraid of. Ling Lan was one of them but the person Little Four was most afraid of was Number One. In front of Number One, Little Four’s naughty brain would turn off automatically and become very obedient.

“What did you promise?” Number One looked at him and asked calmly.

“I won’t interfere with Boss’s evolution,” Little Four lowered his head and replied.

“How many times did you break this promise?” Number One continued asking.

Little Four thought carefully and cautiously raised one finger. He said in a soft voice, “Once?”

Number One continued to look at him coldly. Little Four quickly raised another finger. “Twice?”

When he saw Number One still glaring at him, he lifted the third finger and said dejectedly, “Since I was wrong, it must be three times.”

Number One lowered his gaze and answered indifferently, “Your memory is not bad after all.”

Little Four heaved a sigh of relief after Number One stopped glaring at him. ‘Sob, who said that Boss’s aura can freeze people to death? Compared to Number One, Boss was as warm as the sun in spring.’

“For the sake of Ling Lan, don’t interfere with her evolution next time. She needed to move forward on her own.” Number One waved his hand after he finished speaking. Little Four flew out of Number One’s space and got locked up in a little black room.

“You’ll be confined for three hours.” A cold voice sounded beside Little Four’s ears.

Little Four’s reminder to Ling Lan caught Number One’s attention so he decided to lock Little Four up for the time being.

“Ah, let me out! Boss is in danger.” Little Four, who was very obedient all these while, turned agitated. He started slapping the walls around him.

“This is a test for her. None of us can help her.” Number One’s voice was heard again. After that, no matter how much fuss Little Four kicked up, no one answered him.
