Chapter 1675 - 990: Frost King

She never knew when she entered school that she was in one of the coldest and most powerful towers of the Arts and Techniques Series at Ice Gleam Academy...

On the second floor, a young woman standing by the window had snowflake glimmers dancing at her fingertips, connecting together to form a technique capable of turning buildings in a ten-mile radius into ruins.

She was a technique user at the Fifth Level of Breaking the Void.

In some aspects, her destructive power surpassed even the pure strength of the Cloud Ascendant.

This is the power of technique...

However...

"A beauty, I cannot forget upon seeing. I go mad with longing if a day goes by without seeing her. Seo Xinyan, I adore you!"

A person with a raspy voice shouted passionately below the window.

Immediately, another man shouted as if it were a contest: "Water birds by the river’s bank. Graceful lady, gentleman’s pursuit, Seo Xinyan, I adore you too."

"Get lost, you brat! You keep blocking me! If you can write as beautifully as I do, just show it!"

"Get out! You stayed up one night, but I stayed up five nights..."

"Do you think you’re tempering iron, the longer the better?"

A commotion erupted below, almost turning into a fight.

The classroom burst into laughter.

Seo Xinyan, the beauty of the Arts and Techniques Series, found herself helplessly holding the trembling technique at her fingertip as she looked out the window. The two saw their goddess and immediately went quiet...

Starry-eyed, drooling.

Imagine the expressions yourself.

A goddess is a goddess, truly beautiful! Such graceful presence!

"Your poems are quite delightful."

Both men were thrilled.

"But I don’t know why, with each line you recite, the technique in my hand becomes uncontrollable... If it suddenly falls on your heads next time, then..."

The two were startled.

Without knowing what to say next.

Seo Xinyan lightly extinguished the technique, saying blandly: "Just joking, thank you for your affection, I am very grateful, however.....

"

"My father is Seo Qingfeng."

One sentence, a knockout!

The two men fled.

As if they saw a ghost.

The classroom was quiet for a moment.

Afterwards, someone said: "Is that true?.."

The daughter of an Ice Spirit Guard Commander... it is quite terrifying.

Seo Xinyan smiled faintly: "I just said it casually."

Whoo~

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, I heard the news, Xinyan, that Mr. Sui... is back to teach."

Seo Xinyan’s expression changed slightly, Mr. Sui, huh....

What a troublemaker.

Similarly, not far from the Arts and Techniques Series, there is a teachers’ apartment area.

Every teacher has their own small tower.

A female teacher watering flowers in the garden saw a male teacher appear at the doorstep, sheepishly and deeply emotional, handing over a roll of paper.

What’s this?

You’ll know once you read it.

I’ll open it then.

Wait, read it after I leave, okay...

Then she ran away shyly like flying...

This was the first encounter five days ago.

Now, the female teacher was calm, having no time to talk, as the roll of paper lay there...

She pressed her temples in frustration.

Throwing it out is definitely ill-mannered, if don’t throw it away.... should she read it or not?

She opened it and looked... after a while of pondering, she said: "It’s the same thing again."

These people..... oh come on, couldn’t they learn more from that legendary romantic Mr. Sui before chasing people?

The female teacher entered and placed the roll of paper on top of a pile of similar papers.

Yes, you’re not mistaken, it’s a pile.

On another end... um, quite far away, that’s going up, up, and further up.

Levitating Ice Palace.

A key area under the government army’s command, the Pharmacy Research Institute.

Delivery to the door.

"A letter from Lord Du Zhi"

"Just leave it there."

"But...."

"If you want to die, you can give it to her yourself."

"Um...."

Then the courier silently stacked the letter in the thick letter box.

Once the delivery left.

"Lord Du Zhi really doesn’t read? The first letter was exceptionally good, if a man treated me like that...."

"That’s where she differs from us... do you know what she said after reading it?"

"?"

"What nonsense."

"...um... so, what about this box?"

"Once it’s full, send it to the slums as literature templates."

"..."

——————

Upon entering.

Sui Yi paused for a moment, stepped back a bit, well, ... didn’t walk into the wrong place.

Full house?

Sui Yi entered once again, seeing some old students smiling at her.

"Did someone successfully confess, or did someone break up a couple?"

This remark from Sui Yi made everyone laugh.

Many who came by reputation at this moment all felt, indeed, this Mr. Sui is not the same style as the other Ice Gleam Academy teachers, truly makes people feel refreshed like spring.

Though the place was crowded, Sui Yi didn’t mind, teaching as usual, little knowing that not far from the Humanities Academy was the Law Enforcer Building.

Meanwhile....

In many rooms.

Gao Li and others were isolated for questioning, ... their treatment was much better than those from Thousand Buddha, at least they had tea, and the environment was nice, just the strictness of the guards was chilling.

After recounting the situation roughly.

Gao Li saw the person responsible for interrogating him leave, and soon after, someone took him to a large room where he saw Ah Qi and others, dozens of people standing in the hall.

Are they going to kill them all at once?

Everyone was on edge.

Gao Li walked over, exchanged glances with the other three but couldn’t come to a conclusion, and couldn’t rashly resist....

Soon, four elders in white robes came in, standing at four positions.

Their hands were directed at them...

Not good!

Just as Gao Li and the others wanted to resist, the white light had already entered their heads, extracting....

When they opened their eyes and realized they were still alive, they were somewhat dazed.

The Snow Lord was holding a crystal ball in his hand.

He glanced around casually and said, "According to your words, the four masters extracted part of your memories for examination to determine the correctness of the information you provided, but out of some needs, it was necessary to condense your memories for external recording, of course, this isn’t ethical, you might feel it’s our Ice Gleam Academy intrusively prying into your memories, but the masters have no interest in your other memories, only taking a recent segment...."

These words were an after-the-fact honesty, everyone felt uneasy, but no one spoke...

Except for Gao Li.

"The Snow Lord could have informed us in advance, so we could have been prepared."

These words made many people feel tense.

The Snow Lord looked at Gao Li, his eyebrows slightly moved.

"Ordinary people cannot, but those with strong willpower, like Gao Li, can hide memories on their own.... And it just so happens, your memories are quite useful to our Ice Gleam Academy."

Gao Li’s expression slightly changed.

In that crystal ball was his memory.

"Of course, for offending everyone, our Ice Gleam Academy has also prepared a form of compensation, which you will find worthwhile."

Soon someone delivered batch after batch of valuable resources, and everyone received them, the discomfort immediately vanished, each felt they had made a gain without doing anything...

Only Gao Li left with a furrowed brow, and after leaving, Ah Qi patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother, even the Cloud Ascendant can be instantaneously eliminated in this world, lives can’t be guaranteed, much less our so-called dignity as those at the breaking void...."

"Without strength, there is no dignity."

No strength, no dignity?

Gao Li pondered.

And in the floor above theirs.

Han Feigong explained everything in detail.

Of course, she didn’t know the names of the two people, only that they had ordinary appearances but extraordinary demeanor.

"I could kill the Flying Snake mainly because of her arrows and the poison tempered on the nine arrows."

"Who gave you this poison?"

"Du Zhi"

"Did you know the Flying Snake was going to kill you?"

"No, but before this, I had a good relationship with Chang Jun, he mentioned that there’s been some movement with Thousand Buddha, likely targeting chief students like us, I analyzed, the most likely assassin would be the Flying Snake, so I went to find Du Zhi, to trade for the Realgar Poison by hunting some exotic beasts of the ice plains for her."

"What impression do you have of that person?"

"Not enough interaction to make a judgment."

Comparing and analyzing the information from the two floors quickly led to a conclusion.

——This prey targeted by Thousand Buddha has a terrifying ability to change appearance, and surveillance insight capability is abnormal, evidently, the hunting descriptions from those four of Thousand Buddha were known to her in advance, resulting in a swift and precise counterattack.

However....

Han Feigong’s memory was also extracted, and the two memory crystals were soon sent to higher levels by the Snow Lord...

Of course, also that arrow.

When Han Feigong went downstairs, she just happened to meet the eyes of Gao Li and the others.

Not belonging to the same circle, naturally there’s no need for greeting, only the direction they were heading was the same.

However, suddenly they all noticed that the Humanities Academy opened its door, and energetic voices emerged from inside.

A group of students jubilantly poured out, but the laughter quickly silenced.

Because they saw the bright green bamboo under the clear bamboo grove at the door, adorned with snow, so vivid and pleasing to the eye, only to find themselves standing before two rows of chilling Ice Spirit Guards, particularly with the revered Frost King Lord standing in the middle, it was somewhat intimidating.

Han Feigong instinctively stopped, and the others did the same.

The deployment of the Ice Spirit Guards generally wasn’t a good omen.

The bamboo leaves rustled.

The students were trembling with fear of being invited for a ’tea session’.

Until Seo Qingfeng, hands clasped behind his back, spoke clearly: "Ice Spirit Guard Seo Qingfeng, five days ago Mr. Wen’s erudition was heard of, I wished to visit, yet Mr. Wen was not present, today I specially came, not knowing if Mr. Wen would be willing to meet?"

Oh, they’re looking for a teacher?

All the students were taken aback.

From inside, someone emerged, sleeves fluttering, tall, thin, with a clear bony structure like a clothes hanger, not particularly handsome but inexplicably harmonious with the pavilion and the bamboo grove.

From a man’s perspective, perhaps — not beautiful, but hard to ignore.

"If I just climbed out the window to escape, would the Ice Spirit Guards throw me into the dungeons?"

Seo Qingfeng saw this female teacher with gentle brows and eyes, and her words were gentle too.

But they were strangely intriguing to hear.
