Chapter 31: The Fusion of Ice and Fire? A Cataclysmic Disaster Descends!
After being thoroughly humiliated by Su Chen with a song, Xiao Fan remained quiet for a long time.
He seemed to finally realize that, in terms of intelligence, he could never outmaneuver that elusive "ghost."
So he simply abandoned all plans to take the initiative and focused all his efforts on developing his internal strength.
They retreated to City A, frantically expanding their army and stockpiling supplies, adopting a strategy of building high walls, storing up grain, and delaying their declaration of kingship.
Su Chen was pleased with this outcome.
Xiao Fan, who doesn't actively cause trouble, is a good "working person".
He can take advantage of this precious period of peace to enhance his own strength and that of the entire Dragon Kingdom.
In the training room.
"Bang!"
Two equally icy energies collided violently in mid-air, creating a dazzling display of ice crystals.
Su Chen and Qin Bing's figures parted as soon as they touched.
"There has been progress."
Qin Bing steadied herself and looked at the composed man opposite her, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
There was appreciation, admiration, and even a slight sense of frustration.
How long has it been?
A few months ago, Su Chen was just an "office worker" who needed her protection in front of her.
But now, without using the "Heart of the Prophet," in terms of control over ice-type abilities and combat power alone, he is already able to fight on par with me.
In particular, his S-rank "Mystic Ice Power" even slightly surpasses his own superpower in terms of purity and destructive power.
"You're a monster."
Qin Bing looked at Su Chen and said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Su Chen smiled but didn't say anything.
For the past few months, he has practically made the training room his home.
Besides processing necessary intelligence every day, he also engaged in grueling sparring sessions with Qin Bing.
With the aid of the "Heart of the Prophet," he could easily see through all of Qin Bing's attack patterns and fighting habits, and find her weaknesses.
Then, through continuous practical combat, these theories are transformed into one's own combat instincts.
This rate of growth is nothing short of phenomenal.
"Let's take a break."
Su Chen wiped his sweat and took out a specially made sealed box from the storage cabinet next to him.
The box was opened, and a scorching heat wafted out.
Inside, a few wisps of golden flame lay quietly; they were samples of "Emperor Flame" collected from Xiao Fan.
In the past few months, in addition to cultivating his own supernatural abilities, Su Chen has also been studying this extremely domineering flame.
Under the analysis of SSS-level mental power, he actually managed to figure out a way to activate it.
"Advisor, are you going to conduct that dangerous experiment again?"
Qin Bing's expression changed upon seeing the golden flames, and she immediately became tense.
"Hmm, I have a new idea." Su Chen nodded.
He looked at the chilling aura in his left hand, then at the floating golden flame in his right, and a bold idea sprouted in his mind.
Water and fire are incompatible; this is a common principle in the world.
But what kind of amazing "chemical reaction" would occur if these two extremely opposing forces were forcibly combined?
"Lin Xue!" Su Chen called out.
Lin Xue, who was training next door, also rushed over upon hearing the noise.
After this period of training, the girl has shed her initial timidity.
Her eyes became much more resolute, and she began to show signs of becoming the future "Frost Empress".
"You two, do your utmost to create the highest level of frost shield around me! Just in case!"
Su Chen's expression became more serious than ever before.
"yes!"
The two women dared not delay and immediately activated their supernatural abilities.
The two powerful cold currents instantly intertwined, forming a crystal-clear ice wall several meters thick, firmly protecting Su Chen in the center.
Su Chen took a deep breath.
"bring it on!"
He slowly closed his eyes, and his immense spiritual power, like two invisible hands, grasped the "Mystic Ice Power" in his left hand and the "Emperor Flame" in his right hand.
Then, under the tense, almost suffocating gazes of the two women, he suddenly thrust both forces towards the center and slammed them together!
boom!!!
An unimaginable, extremely violent energy erupted instantly!
The entire training room began to shake violently!
The red and blue lights intertwined, collided, and annihilated wildly!
Outside the laboratory, Professor Long and a group of scientists witnessed this scene through the monitor, and their hearts nearly jumped out of their chests!
"Quickly! Activate the highest level energy absorption device!"
"Stay calm! We must stay calm!"
The violent explosion lasted for a full ten seconds before gradually subsiding.
When the blinding light faded and the dust settled,
The ice wall that Qin Bing and Lin Xue had set up together was already covered with spider web-like cracks, as if it would break at any moment.
In the center of the ice wall, Su Chen hovered in mid-air, his face as pale as paper, clearly having expended a great deal of energy.
But in front of him, a strange energy body, only the size of a fist, half fiery red and half icy blue, was constantly rotating and swirling, hovering silently.
It exudes two completely opposite auras at the same time: one is an extreme cold that can freeze the soul, and the other is a scorching heat that can burn everything.
These two auras merged perfectly together in an incredibly bizarre way.
"It's a success..."
Su Chen looked at the ball of energy, his eyes filled with excitement and ecstasy.
He could sense that the power contained in this energy was several times, or even dozens of times, stronger than the simple "Mystic Ice Power" or "Emperor Flame"!
This will be a brand new trump card in his hand, enough to turn the tide of the battle!
"I'll call you... Ice Demon Blaze!"
Su Chen muttered to himself, preparing to carefully study this nascent power.
suddenly!
Without warning, a tearing pain shot through his brain!
The alarm from the "Heart of the Prophet" shrieked in his mind at an unprecedented, almost frantic frequency!
The world before his eyes was instantly covered by an ominous, intensely rich crimson!
That's not a trajectory line!
Instead, there are tens of thousands!
Densely packed, pointing from all directions to every city in the Dragon Kingdom!
He saw a vision of the future—
An unprecedented beast tide, larger than any previous one, like a black sea of death, engulfed the entire land!
Countless city defenses were easily torn apart like paper under the onslaught of the beast tide!
He even saw that deep within the beast tide, several fifth-tier "Lord-level" beasts, as large as mountains and exuding an aura of world destruction, were slowly awakening!
This would be an absolutely devastating disaster for the current Chinese nation!
"puff!"
Su Chen could no longer withstand the shock of this horrific scene. He spat out a mouthful of blood, swayed, and almost fell over.
"consultant!"
Qin Bing and Lin Xue exclaimed in surprise and rushed over to support him.
"Quickly...quickly inform Elder Long!"
Su Chen grabbed Qin Bing's hand and, with all his might, said hoarsely, "The beast tide... will erupt in full force in 24 hours!"
When the message reached the command center, the entire Chinese military instantly entered the highest level of war mode!
Emergency orders were issued one after another, all defense lines began to contract, and all troops began to assemble.
Prepare for the impending final battle that will determine the fate of humanity!
At the same time, Su Chen, despite his weakness, stared intently at the live chat.
He wanted to see how the other reborn individuals, and Xiao Fan in particular, would respond to this natural disaster.
Soon, the live chat exploded with cries of despair due to the news of the beast tide.
But amidst this wailing, a barrage of comments filled with madness and ambition stood out conspicuously, posted by none other than Xiao Fan!
[Crisis is also an opportunity! All reborn beings know that within a lord-level alien beast, there is an extremely small chance that a 'rule core' containing the power of the world's origin will be born!]
[Getting just one of these could propel me to the top! This might be... my only chance to turn the tide!]
