"Frozen World..."

Chen Yu’s deep eyes lit up as he stared at the words that appeared before him.

’Judging by the Skill’s name alone, this awakened ability is something else!’

With a thought, the Skill’s details materialized.

[Skill: Frozen World (Awakened Legend, Level 1) — Bone-Chilling Cold, absolute zero, freeze all creation, stop time and space...]

"!!!"

Chen Yu’s heart pounded as he read the Skill information.

’Freeze all creation, stop time and space!’

It was so powerful it could even freeze time and space.

’This is on a whole other level!’

’Awakened Legend... Does that mean Frozen World has already reached the Legendary Level?’ 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Chen Yu blinked.

He immediately summoned his interface to check.

Name: Chen Yu

Talent: Infinite Physique (Tier Five 0/5,000,000) [Unique Talent]

Skills: Frozen World (Awakened Legend, Level 1, 0/10,000,000), Biological Force Field (Golden Legend Advanced 0/1,000,000), God’s Will (Golden Legend Advanced 0/2,000,000), Divine Speed Power (Legend Advanced 0/900,000)

Source of Life: 146,686

Skill Points: 0

"Ten... million?!"

Chen Yu was stunned as he stared at the Skill information on the interface.

To level up Frozen World, he needed a full ten million points of Source of Life.

Ten million Source of Life points.

The number sent a jolt through his entire nervous system.

Even if he killed Level 5 Mutant Beasts, he’d still need to take down over a hundred of them.

A number like that would probably only be possible during a beast tide on the scale of the one in Crane City.

Of course, if he were fighting Level 6 Mutant Beasts, ten might be enough.

But that was only if he could actually kill them.

However, with his all-around Skill enhancements, Chen Yu was quite confident. Even without using his trump card, God’s Will, he could still take on a Level 6 Mutant Beast.

Shaking himself from his thoughts, Chen Yu examined the details of the awakened Skill.

Skill Awakening, Frozen World!

Based on the details, it was very different from his old Freezing Breath.

Creating a Frost Storm was just a basic function. It could also summon Ice Spikes out of thin air, which were even more powerful than the Frost Storm.

Its most powerful aspect was the Frost Domain!

By creating a Frost Domain, he could alter the surrounding environment, change his own physical form, generate extreme low temperatures, and turn his body into frost. Within the Frost Domain, even if he were beaten to within an inch of his life, he could use it to recover rapidly.

While it didn’t make him immortal, he could regenerate severed limbs inside the Frost Domain.

The Frost Domain was the biggest change that came with the Skill Awakening.

Of course, he would need to practice to use it to its full potential.

But since he already had a foundation with Freezing Breath, that wouldn’t be a problem.

’I still need to take on more missions. I wonder if the Divine Authority Council and the Pantheon Sect will make a move next time...’

Chen Yu fell into thought as he gazed out the window.

The risk this time had been considerable.

The Divine Authority Council and the Pantheon Sect were making bigger and bigger moves each time they acted.

After this incident, the two Heterodox Sects probably wouldn’t let things go so easily.

Especially the Divine Authority Council!

It seemed their movements had been tracked since their last appearance.

’I’ll deal with whatever comes my way. If they show up, I’ll be ready for them!’

A sharp glint flashed in Chen Yu’s eyes.

His physical Evolution and improved Skills were the greatest source of his confidence.

Although he was still just a mere Third-level Martial Artist, his true strength had long since surpassed that level.

He now had multiple abilities, not to mention a trump card Skill.

’If I really can’t win, I’ll just have to use God’s Will.’

At its current level, it provided a temporary two-thousand-percent boost to all his stats. An increase like that was far more than a simple doubling.

The main problem was his inability to control the God’s Will Skill. However, Chen Yu figured that if his body and mind were strong enough, he might be able to retain a sliver of consciousness.

He didn’t want a repeat of that five-day coma.

It was safest to keep his fate in his own hands; Chen Yu didn’t trust anyone else with it.

’Slow and steady. No need to rush...’

Closing his eyes, Chen Yu began to cultivate his Celestial Destiny Skill.

Within the Chaos, four orbs of light flickered like cosmic stars. The orb representing the awakened Frozen World leaped to the very top.

It was like a purple sun, pulling the other three orbs into orbit around it.

With his body’s Evolution, Chen Yu could already feel the opportunity to break through to the next stage of his Celestial Destiny Skill.

The second stage was within reach!

...

「Jingzhou.」

In the spacious basement of a manor, a white-haired young man leaned back on a black sofa, a cup of milk tea in his hand. A holographic projection played in front of him.

Two men in black stood beside the white-haired youth.

All three of them had their eyes fixed on the holographic image.

In the video, a figure was hovering in the air, bathed in a sacred light. Powerful mutant beasts roared and charged at the airborne youth.

However, faced with the powerful mutant beasts, the levitating youth simply waved his hand. A wave of blue, frosty energy swept out, instantly flash-freezing more than a dozen of the creatures.

Then, with another casual wave, the frozen mutant beasts shattered like glass and disintegrated.

And with that, the footage ended.

"Boss, this is the footage of Chen Yu in Crane City. Part of it was lost because of the Dongfang family," one of the men in black said as the footage ended.

The white-haired young man leaned languidly on the sofa, his face an unreadable mask, betraying no emotion.

"Who made the plan?" the white-haired youth asked in a flat tone, taking a sip of his milk tea.

Hearing this, the man in black on the left immediately dropped to his knees. "I’m sorry, Boss. Th-this... this was my oversight."

"And an apology is enough?" The white-haired youth shot a sidelong glance at the kneeling man.

The man’s face went pale, sweat poured down his forehead, and his body trembled like a leaf.
