At the Borean Tundra.

Snowflakes whirled in the sky like a myriad of feathers as they were blown by the piercing cold wind, the cold weather worn the land away until not even a trace of life could be seen. The howl of Ice Wolves could be vaguely heard in the distance, the sharp and low roars of wild beasts made such a place seem even more lonely.

Kacha— Kacha—

As Lin Jie’s War Boots stepped on the ground, the ice cracked, sending ice shards in all directions. Such a monotonous and boring sound filled the air. The three of them were covered in a thick layer of snow. After the snow melted, the water would seep into their armor, which made them shiver from the coldness.

“Darn it, why is the adjustment range for heat and coldness so small? I’m freezing…” Baili Changcheng complained at the system’s setting as he rubbed his hands together.

Although he was an Ice-type Elemental Sword Artist, his level was still low, far from being like certain NPCs where they were ice themselves and immune to the cold.

Lin Jie, on the other hand, was calm. The maps with extreme conditions he had been through were just too many to count. No matter it was was the Bloody Hell, where his whole body was covered in blood, or the Poisonous Fortress, where even one’s nose and mouth would be stuffed full with venom, he had experienced them countless of times. The pain and suffering brought by just the cold were insignificant.

Bu Yi’s tiny face was red from freezing, and she had almost curled up into a small ball. She meekly activated Power Word Shield for herself to block the cold slightly, but she realized the chilly wind could still seep through the gaps of the Power Word Shield.

“Gaps…” Bu Yi’s eyes lit up, she activated another Power Word Shield and closed her beautiful eyes. She concentrated fully on feeling where the chilly wind was seeping in from, and then she waved her small hands, stacking another layer on top of the original shield.

Back then, she had coincidently used the technique Ten Shields Spell when she saw Lin Jie was in critical danger, but since then, she had not successfully done it again.

The nature of the Power Word Shield was actually just energy visualized to the shape of a ball to block attacks for the target. Not every part of it had the same defense value as the energy was not evenly spread out to every part.

That was because energy would flow on the surface of the ball non-stop. Therefore, at a certain moment, there would be a certain part where the energy would be more concentrated and thus thicker while other parts would be weaker. These weaker parts were the so-called “gaps”.

Therefore, it was not so simple to be able to detect and aim the gaps to fill it up by thickening it the instant one channeled the spell.

Now, Bu Yi waved her staff continuously by borrowing this intense feeling from the chilly wind. She could release two to three Power Word Shields each time, unlike how difficult it was to grasp at the start where she could not even succeed once.

Baili Changcheng saw that and felt slightly awkward. Even Bu Yi, such a cute girl, could use such an extreme environment to train herself and strive for progress. Meanwhile, a man like him was complaining about the cold?

As such, Baili Changcheng pulled out his longsword as he trembled from the cold and started to unleash his skills. Ice Elemental Sword Artists trained one’s skill in such a land filled with ice and snow. Naturally, his proficiency would increase faster than normal.

Of course, the increase was just minimal. Most players would prefer to suffer less and train more comfortably, they would not be willing to do such a thing. That was the difference between experts and mediocre players. As time passed, the accumulation of such a little proficiency would most likely be the key to breaking through the barrier of normal people and experts.

Awo— Awo—

Just when the three of them were eagerly training in such an extreme environment, wolves howling could be heard. One could only see pairs of eyes shining in the cold wind, it was a pack of White Wolves!

[Ice Wind White Wolves] (Strengthened Creatures)

Level: 60

Health Points: 78,000

Attack: 918-1,102

Defense: 550

Special Feature: Ice Resistance (Reduces 25% Ice attribute damage)

There were a total of 15 White Wolves. Their sharp fangs shone brightly like ice crystals as their eyes flashed coldly with hunger. Their sharp claws scratched the ground and created marks. One could only hear the sound of the ice cracking as two White Wolves used excessive force and broke the ice. Then the White Wolves charged towards the three of them crazily!

Sizzle—

When The White Wolves were as far as 25 yards away, Lin Jie swung his Broken Blade vigorously. It was only then that the other two noticed that the Supplementary Sword and Broken Blade had been combined, transforming into a longsword, which shone radiantly!

At that moment, the longsword split into two, and the Supplementary Sword was shot out ferociously like an arrow from the bow. If one observed carefully, they would even be able to see the thin, tough, and transparent Mutated Spider Thread, which connected it to the Broken Blade.

The Supplementary Sword dealt the same damage as Broken Blade and brutally banged onto the forehead of a White Wolf. That White Wolf let out a wail of pain, and it was instantly knocked away into the air, there was even a layer of ice crystals on its body!

Ice Spirit Slash!

-1,524!

That White Wolf was frozen!

Whoosh—

The Supplementary Sword, which successfully hit its target and completed the attack, was pulled by the spider thread. It then drew a gorgeous arc before landing into Lin Jie’s left hand, and the spider thread disappeared. Meanwhile, that White Wolf was directly frozen by Lin Jie’s Ice Spirit Slash!

It was the ability Broken Blade obtained after it was strengthened, the Supplementary Sword could be shot out to attack.

The instant the Supplementary Sword hit the White Wolf, its attack was even scorched by the flames, and its blood was whirled by the fierce wind. The cold even entered its body and dealt an additional 90 points of magic damage.

That was the additional effect after Lin Jie’s body was strengthened by Elemental Essence.

“Are you Yuanfang1!” exclaimed Baili Changcheng as he was surprised by how well Lin Jie had used Broken Blade.

“Flame Blade!” Lin Jie shouted loudly, and at the tip of Broken Blade, a Flame Blade was instantly formed. Flame Blade was a fire-type skill, so it could deal an additional 30% to 70% damage to the ice-attribute monsters.

Lin Jie used Army Obliteration, and the Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner, which was filled with the fiery flames of Flame Boost, instantly exploded in the pack of White Wolves! Waves of 2,000+ damage values popped up, and immediately after, Life Growl used Outraged Roar, which stunned all White Wolves. When the White Wolves regained their consciousness from Lin Jie’s crowd control skill, their health points had already been reduced by 1/3.

Kacha, kacha!

The attacks of the pack of White Wolves also arrived. Due to level suppression, the damage dealt by the pack of White Wolves was quite high. Each White Wolf was able to deal 200+ physical damage due to level suppression, and there was also Bleeding effect.

Bu Yi immediately cast Power Word Shield onto Lin Jie, this time the Defense Shield value of the Power Word Shield had increased by a total of two times—that was the effect of the initial stage of Ten Shields Spell.

“I’ll help too, Ice Control!” Just as Baili Changcheng activated his skill to freeze the monsters, he discovered that the ice crystals formed by his skill could at most trap the monsters for a second before they broke the ice and escaped.

“Your level is too low, the control effect is weakened too much.” Lin Jie dragged Baili Changcheng to the side and charged into the pack of White Wolves alone. His Bloodsweeping Cloak was extremely handsome as it turned into a blood mist and enveloped all of the White Wolves. Broken Blade released numerous Blade Auras continuously, and the few White Wolves with bad luck were directly instakilled by the Critical Hits and fell to the ground.

Army Obliteration!

-2,367!

-4,968!

-4,624!

-2,635!

The brutal Blade Auras gradually stopped, and 15 White Wolf corpses were left on the ground. Lin Jie took a look at his experience bar. As expected of Borean Tundra, the experience points from monsters were high, with only one wave, his experience bar had increased by 1%!

The experience points and attributes of strengthened monsters were about 10% higher than normal monsters.

“Look, there is a camp there!” After the pack of White Wolves was cleared, the cold air of a small area was also dispelled by quite a bit. Then, a camp was vaguely revealed. A few soldiers were hugging each other in an attempt to keep warm, while the exterior of the fence of the camp was surrounded by White Wolves. These White Wolves stared at the soldiers in the camp like how tigers eyed their prey.

Lin Jie picked up the loot, and with a look, there were 5 Wolf Teeth, 3 pairs of Wolf Eyes, and 12 Wolf Nails.

Lin Jie could not help but complain, “Were these White Wolves lacking body parts? Can’t those parts, which could be sold, drop in sets in one go?” The good thing was that there were 15 units of White Wolf Skin. White Wolf Skin was a good material as Leathersmiths could create equipment above the grade of Silver and also have an additional Ice Resistance effect.

Beast-type monsters did not drop equipment and coins, so these materials were to be sold for money.

“The EXP… is really quite high!” said Baili Changcheng as he took a look at his experience bar and raised his brows in surprise. With just a wave of monsters, his level had increased from Level 32 7% to Level 32 16%. Such a leveling speed was shocking!

Lin Jie chuckled. “It gets better later on! Let’s go and clear the monsters outside the camp, then accept a few missions.”

In the camp, there were five soldiers with the title City of Light Scout. They were hugging each other tightly all shrunk up, but their bodies were quite weird as they were half-transparent. It looked like a combination of spirit and a real body. There was a small patch of weeds on the ground, which had been eaten—it was obvious that the group of soldiers had no had a full meal in a long time.

“Brave warrior, brave warrior!” One of the soldiers saw the three of them and shouted excitedly, “Brave warrior, here! You are adventurers from the City of Light! Please hurry and help us, we have an important message to deliver. Please save us!”

Ding~

—’Do you accept the soldier’s plead?”

Yes!

Lin Jie accepted the mission, and in his List, a prompt message appeared instantly: “Soldier’s Plead”, do your best, and kill all the White Wolves in the shortest amount of time possible.

“Let’s go!” Lin Jie shouted, and instantly his health bar was all empty. He unleashed the full power of his Sea King Scaly Armor, and Blood Power surged within Lin Jie, and right into the sky, his muscles pulsated fiercely! Death Rage, activated!

Whoosh—

Lin Jie leaped with all his strength, and he shot up into the sky. His Broken Blade vibrated a few times in the blink of an eye, and Blade Auras, which were full of vitality, were gathered at the tip of the sword. Lin Jie then slashed towards the place with the most White Wolves! After the sword landed onto the ground, the Blade Auras smashed a hideous dent on the ground. The Blade Auras even surged and turned into attack waves, which were spread in the surroundings.

-9,384!

-9,382!

-19,384!

-19,032!

…

Mountain-Crushing Strike!

Waves of shocking damage values popped up, and the health points of the pack of White Wolves all decreased by a large portion. The Mountain-Crushing Strike was a Level 80 skill of Berserkers, he had obtained the Skill Book from Falcon and learned it.

The Mountain-Crushing Strike could be easily interrupted when it was being released. But after it was successfully activated, the skill was extremely powerful as the attack wave range was extremely vast and almost hit all of the White Wolves.

“Whirlwind!”

Lin Jie roared fiercely and instantly activated his AOE skill. In less than three seconds, many White Wolves actually fell to the ground in the posture they were killed in! Lin Jie’s Holy Light Winged Armor shook, and Lin Jie’s Movement Speed increased rapidly. Lin Jie killed the White Wolves in his line of sight one by one. He looked at the time, and only eight seconds had passed! However, the mission prompt message did not ring, there were still wolves alive!

Just at that moment, at the edge of the fence, a small wolf cub was howling softly.

“Teleport!” Lin Jie’s pupils constricted, that wolf cub was 50 yards away, he was unable to attack it at all! Holy Light Winged Armor instantly tore through space and brought him 8 yards closer. He shot out the Supplementary Sword vigorously and instakilled the wolf cub!

—’You have killed all the wolves in the pack of White Wolves within 10 seconds. Congratulations, the mission completion is [Perfect]!”

—’Mission complete, you are rewarded 1,200,000 EXP and 1,000 City of Light Reputation. You received an additional reward, [Ice Shrine Map]’
