Chapter 896 - Solving Problems

"No one can snatch Extreme Ice Body from us!"
The group immediately raised their vision, finding three people far from them. One of them was the elder that was trying to grab his sister. It seemed she had returned with reinforcement this time.
The three of them glared at Alex and Lin Xingzhi.
"She will become the disciple of my Snow and Ice Palace! No one can snatch her!" The elder exclaimed while releasing her killing intent.
"If I were you, I wouldn't release such a killing intent, you know," Alex said with an uninterested expression as if he thought nothing of them.
"What did you say?! You dare to lecture me?!" The elder gritted her teeth.
However, another one stopped her from going berserk as she said, "We just want the Extreme Ice Body. I don't know who you are, but our Snow and Ice Palace is far stronger than you can imagine. And we have the ability to content her physique as well."
"Well, I already made a deal with the kid, so I am going to fix her physique." Alex shrugged as he walked toward Xue Ning. "Yo, little girl. What do you think about the trade earlier? Your brother wants to save you, you know."
Xue Ning flinched and glanced at her brother.
'Xue Lang… I think it's better to trust the guy here. From what I have seen, this guy is even stronger than my peak strength. These three people won't be able to do anything to your sister.' The soul warned him again.
'Really?' Xue Lang hesitated for a second before nodding his head.
Seeing this, Xue Ning bowed her head slightly. "Then, I would like Senior to cure me."
"It's not a cure. I am simply letting you cultivate your physique." Alex gently smiled.
"Stop! There is no one who understands the Extreme Ice Physique better than my Snow and Ice Palace. Just take a look at that guy, he is a suspicious person who won't even take off his mask." The elder shouted.
"That's right. We can let you become a peerless expert in an instant if you come with us."
"Choose wisely, little girl!"
Alex sighed and shrugged again. "Yeah, keep talking. What is your technique? Let me see my cliche collections book. Your technique must need a tranquil heart that does not allow her to have an emotion. And your palace master must be an eccentric one that might seal or erase her memory because it will be the fastest way to acquire a tranquil heart."
The elders fell silent for two seconds before they started shouting again. And that silence was all it took for Xue Lang to realize it was true.
"You are simply harming my sister!" Xue Lang roared to the three elders.
"Do you even realize you are the one harming your sister?!" The elder didn't want to lose and began rebuking him.
"That's right. Your sister will die as soon as the strength that is suppressing her ice disappears. The ice will kill her from the inside."
"The only way to fix her is to let her come with us. You are an egoistic person. You just want your sister to be with you, right? You think you are a good brother that wants the best for her? No, you are not. If you want the best for your sister, you will let your sister come with us."
Xue Lang gritted his teeth, unable to deny their claims. In the end, he realized that he wanted to keep his sister by his side while trying to search for a way to save her. Unfortunately, that was harming her in the process.
If what the elders said were true, the best option would be to send her to Snow and Ice Palace.
However, Alex stopped him from thinking like that. Under normal circumstances, his sister would be taken away right at this instant. Fortunately, Alex was here.
He looked at Xue Ning and asked. "This is your life. You choose."
"I…" Xue Ning looked down and realized that her brother was looking at her. Her brother would always be everything for her, so she clenched her fists and said, "I still want to be together with big brother."
"That's your answer." Alex smiled and patted her head.
"It seems we need to kill that man first!" The elders shouted in anger. One of them raised their hand, calling a snow crystal on their hand. She then raised it as it shot an attack toward Alex.
Seeing this, the soul that resided in Xue Lang materialized before them when she realized that the man didn't pay attention to this.
Little did she know, Alex was perfectly aware of her action and simply ignored it because it wouldn't be able to hurt him.
She then realized something was wrong. The ice started to melt as an intense heat emanated from behind her, forcing her to turn around to check what happened.
Howl.
A red fox made of fire appeared from Alex's feet as it grew to thirty meters height while melting the attack.
'This…' the soul and the elder were dumbstruck. They never expected to see something like this. To be honest, even the soul couldn't sense Alex's real power. She knew he was stronger than her peak, but she couldn't see the extent of his power.
The fox then howled again and turned its head upward. A fireball suddenly appeared and enlarged until it reached a hundred meters in diameter.
The heat emanated from that alone was enough to melt the ground they were standing on, but because Alex had enough control, they didn't even feel the heat.
However, the elders were different. They felt the ball was trying to burn them alive, not realizing that their clothes had started melting.
"Destroy that attack first!" They shouted as they immediately used their techniques and shot the ball, but to no avail. All their attacks instantly got vaporized, leaving them speechless.
"Only Martial Monarchs but dare to raise your hand against me?" Alex narrowed his eyes before asking Lin Xingzhi. "Should I kill them?"
She thought for a moment and shook her head. "It's fine. It's not like there is a strong one in this world, and I don't think there is a Divine World close enough to this place. And…"
She pointed at her face, telling Alex that they had a mask for this. No one would realize they did it. Even if they tried to attack him again, they wouldn't know his face.
"I see." Alex nodded and snapped her finger.
The fox then raised its paw and struck them, blowing them away. After that, he recalled both the fox and the sun as if he just finished dealing with them.
Still, the shocking thing that happened for Lin Xingzhi was the fact that Alex was playing with three Space Rings in his hand.
"Those three rings are…"
"Yep. Their space rings." Alex grinned.
"Ah, you are extending the punishment. Though, I don't think that is necessary." Lin Xingzhi shook her head. "I mean, it's alright to punish them, but this is not the way. Taking another look at them, they are stark naked and without their Space Rings. I am sure they won't have any clothes with them right now. With their strength, what will they do?"
"Ah!" Alex finally realized the meaning of his actions and sighed. "Should I return it to them?"
Lin Xingzhi thought for a moment. "It's fine. You don't need to. But I want you to realize this first. I know that you are thinking about the consequences, but you are not used to thinking about cause and effect. Hence, I will let this be the thing that will remind you about it."
Alex closed his eyes for a few seconds and nodded. "I understand."
The thing they were talking about was none other than killing. With their strength, they would kill people and snatch their clothes first before going back to their influence. And Alex realized it too late and kept this matter in his heart.
"Anyway, I think it's better to finish our matter first."
"Yeah." Alex then turned around again, facing the girl and placing his head on her head.
He inserted his Pure Fire inside Xue Ning's body, dissolving the sword power. While doing so, he glanced at the soul that just materialized.
She clasped her hand politely and bowed. "I am sorry for showing my meager skill in front of an expert."
"It's fine. You are trying to destroy the attack in my stead even with your weakened strength." Alex waved his hand, telling her that it wasn't a big deal.
He realized that both the soul and Xue Lang had a sword as their Martial Spirits. A Martial Spirit was a kind of their heart's personification. It functioned like the skill that was being cultivated in Phantasm Sect. It came from their heart and would stay with them to the end. In other words, it was the source of their strength.
While they were in the midst of talking, the elder just couldn't look at Alex. Her eyes were glued to what happened to their surroundings. The ground was melting and cooled down, the grasses were torched, but the flame immediately disappeared when Alex retracted his technique, and many more.
She questioned herself, 'What did she just witness?'
Never in her wildest dream, she could see something like this.
Alex himself didn't care about this and proceeded in his task as he asked again. "Do you have any recommendations for the technique?"
Lin Xingzhi thought for a moment and asked back. "Do you have any choices?"
"Two actually. The first is Nine Yin Cultivation Body. This will allow the user to create nine extra energy forces in her body to build up her second foundation. In other words, she won't be crippled unless someone destroyed both sources.
"The other one is Yin Empress Cultivation Technique. The first one can give a second foundation and energy, but it is slower in pace. As for this one, it will increase her cultivation speed as it nurtures the physique itself. It will focus on the physique alone."
"I think the first one is good enough. Remember that she has an Ice Luan? It will require a source of strength as well." Lin Xingzhi nodded.
"I understand." Alex nodded and released his strength. "Little girl. This is going to be hurt, but you need to endure it while following my directions. How much you can get will depend on yourself."
"Please, Senior. I will withstand everything." Xue Ning nodded and gritted her teeth. She looked at Alex with determined eyes as she seemed to be tired of getting protected.
Alex looked at her expression for a few seconds and finally melted the seal. As the elder said, the ice that had been suppressed until now burst out of her body, trying to attack her and Alex.
Lin Xingzhi waved her hand, erecting a barrier, so the cold didn't freeze them.
Alex used his Pure Fire to suppress the cold, but it was only so she could withstand the pain. When he thought she was ready, Alex started guiding her according to the manual in his mind.
As expected from knowledge coming from ancient times, it was surely powerful. He could understand many cultivation techniques from different types of power levels due to the knowledge of his past lives that had their own worlds to live.
The freezing ice gradually formed into something like an image of a Blue Luan appeared on her back.
Cry.
The Blue Luan suddenly looked at the ice and stopped the growth of this ice by itself, allowing Xue Ning to start controlling the Ice according to Alex's guidance.
The ice gradually got suppressed and died down. Xue Ning's complexion became normal, and her breathing became stable. After that, a blue ball appeared on her right hand as it absorbed the residual ice in the air. This was the first force of her ability that would turn to be her second foundation.
After a few hours, she finally opened her eyes as a Blue Luan image appeared again.
Cry.
