Chapter 164: Chapter 116: Successful Breakthrough, Elemental Ingestion! (Part 5) "Hmm, congratulations." David looked down at Amy. At this moment, Amy’s eyebrows were still covered with white frost, and her silver hair scattered like a galaxy. David’s Adam’s apple moved slightly as he lowered his head and slowly approached. Amy’s eyelashes fluttered and she closed her eyes, allowing the Lord to take what he desired. David’s heart stirred, and he slowly reached in, beginning to explore beneath the ice. "Mm, Lord," Amy felt a bit uneasy. David’s gaze was fiery as he looked intently at Amy, "Amy, is it alright?" Amy felt a bit bashful; it was her first time outdoors, but she still bit her lip and gently nodded. David instantly rejoiced, carefully holding Amy and carrying her into the cave, placing her on a bed of ice. Inside the cave, the ice still enveloped everything. Thankfully, both were Ice Mages, so even when naked, they wouldn’t feel cold. Amy lay on the ice, wrapped her arms around her knees, shyly buried her head between her knees, and slowly lifted her legs. David reached out to embrace the legs, bringing them closer to himself. Despite being surrounded by ice, he couldn’t help but exhale comfortably. Finally, finally. He had succeeded in joining with Amy outdoors. "Come, let me see." "No." Amy’s voice carried a hint of coquettishness. David, upon hearing it, became even more enthusiastic. [You completed a cultivation session, Ice Element Talent +620] [Ice Element Talent: High (62564/100000)] With Amy’s successful breakthrough to Tier Four, the cultivation efficiency greatly increased, surprisingly breaking through six hundred! Although Amy had weaker physical strength, she could still engage in five or six cultivation sessions a day, accumulating over three thousand experience points daily. With this, it would only take a dozen days for the Ice Element Talent to surpass the high level and enter the next tier. David thought of this and couldn’t help but speed up a bit. After three rounds of cultivation, Amy was already panting heavily, and David stopped, holding the little witch in his arms happily. "Lord," Amy’s face showed apology. Even though she was a Tier Four Mage now, her physical strength had not increased much. David smiled and shook his head, feeling that this was already very good; although his body was not truly satisfied, his heart was very content. ... The next day. David returned to the Wizard Castle with Amy. The witches in the Wizard Castle were all anxiously waiting. Seeing Lord Duke bring Amy back, all the witches hurriedly came forward. They all knew that Amy intended to breakthrough to a Tier Four Mage, and Amy’s breakthrough was crucial to them. Facing the expectant gazes of these witches, Amy slowly nodded and smiled, saying, "I successfully broke through." Upon hearing Amy’s words, the scene fell silent for a moment, then all the witches cheered excitedly. Amy’s breakthrough had already proven that the method Lord Duke explored for breaking through to Tier Four was correct, giving them a chance for breakthrough as well! David’s face also showed a smile. This breakthrough of Amy was indeed significant for the Wizard Castle. Afterward, he led the witches to the back garden, letting Amy recount the process of breaking through to a Tier Four Mage. It was not until noon that this exchange ended, and the witches still showed reluctant expressions. In order to help Amy consolidate her strength, and also to impart experience to the witches, Amy stayed in the castle for several days. During this time, apart from cultivation, Amy was also learning the knowledge contained in the Ice Mage inheritance. Besides the Frost Snow Crystal Meditation Method, the Ice Mage inheritance also recorded many intermediate tricks. To truly possess the combat power of a Tier Four Ice Mage, Amy needed not only her spiritual power to reach Tier Four but also to master the corresponding intermediate tricks. David naturally stayed by Amy’s side during this time. The two analyzed cold magic at the intermediate trick level together, and often cultivated together. ... The chaos in the Northern Lands continued. Especially after the son of the Duke of the Western Border was assassinated, the chaos reached its peak. David’s choice of target this time was very deliberate. As the network blockade of Frost Wolf Ridge quietly disintegrated with the death of these lords. Regarding this assassin, the nobles had various opinions. The only information they currently had was that this assassin’s speed was much faster than the Gale Divine Eagle Bloodline! But after their screening, they couldn’t identify a family bloodline faster than the Gale Divine Eagle Bloodline! Of course, some speculated whether the Frost Wolf Clan was responsible. After all, the deceased were all from the Second Prince’s faction, making the targeting too evident. However, without evidence, everyone was only guessing and couldn’t take any real action. David also chose to remain unchanged amidst the chaos while making secret plans. When he decided to act, he would be able to control the situation in the Northern Lands and aim at the Northern Fortress! Meanwhile, to prepare against the ice barrier of the Northern Fortress, he was hastily cultivating with Amy. If the Ice Element Talent could advance to the Extraordinary Level, perhaps it could help him confront the power of the ice barrier! .... Frost Wolf Castle, inside the study. David and Amy had just finished their exchange. [You completed a cultivation session, Ice Element Talent +615] [Ice Element Talent: High (100023/100000)] Through relentless effort, the Ice Element Talent could finally breakthrough. "Thank you, Amy." David embraced the exhausted Amy, his face full of gratitude. The pure little witch indeed contributed a lot to him. "No, it’s I who should thank the Lord." Amy hugged the magic book, her face filled with happiness; from the Lord, she truly received so much. The two hugged each other and spoke many words until reluctantly separating. After leaving the study, David entered the Frost Wolf Forest once more. This time, he was going to breakthrough the Ice Element Talent, referencing the situation when the Tier Seven Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline broke through, the movement would definitely not be small. "The level above high talent is about to be unveiled." David took a deep breath and opened the system panel. As he willed, a cool energy instantly flooded into his body as if the whole world had been sealed in ice. The surrounding air condensed into frost, and in his vision, all things were enveloped in a soft ice-blue glow, the rich power of ice elements continuously gathering. His breathing became deep and long, with every breath exhaling tiny ice crystals into the air. On his skin, exquisite ice patterns gradually appeared, like gorgeously carved artwork, glinting with cold light. David felt his consciousness had unprecedentedly linked with the ice element; he could perceive every chilly vibration around him. He could even guide them to act according to his will, as if his body had become a bridge for the ice element, connecting with the endless power contained in the ice and snow world. Opening his eyes, his entire body was coated with a thin layer of ice; he seemed to merge with the ice element, not merely controlling, but becoming a part of it. He could feel the flow of ice elements, circulating like blood within him, granting him infinite strength, making him akin to the embodiment of the elements! [Ice Element Talent: Extraordinary (23/1000000), gained talent ability: Heart of Ice Element] At the same time, the system’s voice sounded again. Above the high talent is the Extraordinary talent, and when the elemental talent reaches the Extraordinary Level, a new talent ability, Heart of Element, is born! "Another Extraordinary Level." "It seems that the power at Tier Seven involves the Extraordinary." David thought of his Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline breaking through to Tier Seven and gaining extraordinary speed, now the Ice Element Talent breakthrough was also at the Extraordinary Level. To continue enhancing their strength, Tier Seven Knights need to refine their bodies through Elemental Body Refining, while Tier Seven Mages should strengthen their spiritual power. All thoughts flashed by instantly; as his Ice Element Talent successfully broke through to the Extraordinary Level, the feedback effect on his spiritual power followed. Originally, the intensity of his spiritual power had already reached the Tier Four Peak, and now, with this wave of spiritual power feedback, a large amount of ice elemental energy suddenly appeared in his spiritual world, transforming into an ice elemental river, heading straight for the Tier Four Peak mental barrier, forcibly breaking it apart!
