Chapter 215

Looking closely, inside the brilliance was a dark green crystal, radiating infinite life force, enveloping Li Yao.

Placing it in his storage ring, the attribute boost still remained.

"A 10% boost to all attributes, plus an additional 10% damage—it's already far stronger than Epic-grade gear!"

Li Yao couldn't help but feel excited.

It worked even in the storage ring, or anywhere else; it didn't take up an equipment slot, which was equivalent to having 20% more combat power than other professionals for free!

Just this point alone was something equipment couldn't compare to!

Let alone Epic-grade, even Purple-Gold or higher-grade equipment didn't deserve to be compared to the Source of Life!

With a thought,

A vortex leading to the outside world appeared beside Li Yao.

Now, Li Yao was the master of the Life Pool.

He could decide where the dungeon exit was!

Li Yao didn't go out immediately.

He waited five minutes for the time to pass, exiting combat status.

He recalled all Chess Pieces except for Kha'Zix.

Things were far from over!

How to bring the Life Pool back to the Dragon Kingdom was the key!

Li Yao tensed his whole body, in a state of readiness, and stepped into the vortex.

After a dizzying blur, his feet touched the ground again.

Li Yao couldn't help but shiver.

A world of ice and snow came into view.

The cold wind whistled; as far as the eye could see, there was nothing but ice crystals.

Every blade of grass, every tree, everything was an ice sculpture!

Professionals were no exception.

Several elite Indian professional troops, their faces frozen in expressions of terror, were imprisoned in ice sculptures.

And those ice sculptures standing at the very front—

Just the aura leaking from them brought a sense of irresistible oppression to Li Yao.

At least fifth-turn professionals!

There were over a dozen of them!

"You've come out."

A faint voice sounded.

Only then did Li Yao notice:

Standing among the countless ice sculptures was a middle-aged beauty.

Wearing an ice crystal crown, her face wasn't exactly stunning, but seeing those eyes, a word came to Li Yao's mind:

Elegant!

Every gesture gave off a sense of relaxation, as if she didn't take anything seriously.

Her skin was very fair, her figure tall, and her physique was so good that she could only wear a loose snow robe.

"Who are you?"

Li Yao frowned slightly; he didn't feel a shred of a powerhouse's aura from her.

But precisely because of that, Li Yao found it terrifying!

Fortunately,

The other party was from the Dragon Kingdom and looked somewhat familiar; it was highly likely she was an ally!

The beauty chuckled: "We've met, during the contention battle."

"Principal of the First Military Academy, Hua Hua Qianshuang."

"Now that you're out, let's return to the Dragon Kingdom."

"Okay."

Li Yao nodded without asking more, but looking at the surrounding ice sculptures, there was still some doubt in his eyes.

Hua Hua Qianshuang noticed Li Yao's expression and spoke:

"You want to ask about them?"

"I was thinking you might come out at any time."

"I was worried they might accidentally hurt you."

"So I temporarily froze them all."

Hearing this, Li Yao knew who the other party was.

The Dragon Kingdom's 'Ice Emperor.'

SSS-rank profession 'Instant Eternity,' the twelfth-ranked professional globally.

Once, at the border of Linbei City, with a single thought, she froze all monsters in the entire region.

One of the top powerhouses standing in the world today.

Li Yao followed Hua Hua Qianshuang, walking on the frozen avenue.

Walking out of the vicinity of the dungeon vortex, in the surrounding forest, there were actually countless teams of professionals frozen into ice sculptures!

Three layers inside, three layers outside, surrounding all paths that could lead away.

Li Yao couldn't help but gasp.

If Senior Hua hadn't appeared here,

it would have been quite difficult for him to escape!

Relying solely on Kha'Zix's stealth would likely not have worked.

In a large-scale encirclement operation, it was impossible not to have professionals skilled in reconnaissance.

"What, afraid?" Hua Hua Qianshuang asked with a smile.

"It's good that you know fear; don't always think about running abroad in the future!"

"As the Dragon Kingdom's number one genius, there are probably more people who want to kill you than those who want to kill me."

Li Yao couldn't explain some of his own circumstances to Senior Hua.

He could only respectfully say: "Thank you for this, Senior Hua."

Coming to the Indian Kingdom alone, Li Yao naturally had some confidence.

His Chess Player talent hadn't been exposed yet.

The Void Tiger Beetle could burrow hundreds of meters underground; with this ability combined with Chess Player, Li Yao had ten thousand ways to escape this place!

The only thing he was worried about was those imprisonment methods.

He could also use 【Space-Cutting Exchange】 to deal with them.

In short, he didn't have 100% certainty,

but 80-90% was still there!

"No need for thanks; your talent is worth me coming to help you."

"If you hadn't been able to repel thousands of professionals head-on, they wouldn't have sent so many people to intercept you."

Hua Hua Qianshuang walked in front without looking back, her tone filled with approval.

"If I hadn't come, even stronger professionals would have come!"

Li Yao was a bit curious.

"Is it because of this?"

"I thought it was because of the Source of Life."

Hua Hua Qianshuang stopped abruptly, turned her head, and looked at Li Yao with a frown.

"What did you just say?"

Li Yao also realized that the other party might not know the Life Pool had changed hands.

"The Life Pool dungeon is in my hands."

As the words fell,

Li Yao only felt a blur before his eyes.

The next second,

Things in front of him flashed by rapidly.

Senior Hua was carrying him by the back, stepping on ice crystals, speeding toward a certain direction.

The wind whistled; at this speed, Li Yao found it difficult even to speak!

Hua Hua Qianshuang's serious voice came:

"You've really given me a difficult problem."

"The Life Pool dungeon is equivalent to the Indian Kingdom's resource lifeline!"

"The Indian Kingdom is not worth worrying about, but the key is, although the Indian Kingdom holds the Life Pool, they have to offer half of the annual revenue to the Eagle Kingdom!"

"You took it away; the Eagle Kingdom will definitely not sit idly by!"

Hearing this, Li Yao realized there was such a connection.

So much time had passed; it was impossible for the Eagle Kingdom not to have received the news.

Most likely, they were already on their way!

Two fists are no match for four hands; being abroad, even Senior Hua didn't have the certainty of escaping unscathed!

Looking at Li Yao's expression, Hua Hua Qianshuang knew what he was thinking.

She immediately said: "You don't need to worry too much; being able to get the Life Pool is a great achievement."

"As for whether we can keep it later, that's my problem."

"I've already sent a distress signal; the Dragon Kingdom's powerhouses should also be on their way."

Before she could finish speaking, Hua Hua Qianshuang's figure stopped abruptly.

"Lady Hua, in such a hurry, where are you going?"

A flippant voice came from the front.

Five professionals blocked the way.

Li Yao didn't speak, standing quietly to the side.

Although he couldn't feel their aura,

the fact that they dared to block Senior Hua meant they were definitely not enemies he could handle right now!

"Milan."

Hua Hua Qianshuang recognized the leader at a glance and said indifferently: "The Holy Sword Guild, only sent this many people?"

"Of course not."

The leader, the president of the Holy Sword Guild sent by the Eagle Kingdom, Milan Dick.

"To deal with the famous Lady Hua, our Holy Sword Guild has mobilized in full force!"

Although the voice was flippant, Milan's eyes never left Hua Hua Qianshuang.

Hua Hua Qianshuang's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and she suddenly smiled.

"So that's how it is; then I'm relieved."

The implication was:

A single Holy Sword Guild couldn't stop her.

As she spoke, Hua Hua Qianshuang slowly raised her hand.

Several ice cones formed in the air instantly and smashed directly toward Milan and the others.

Several people hurriedly used defensive skills to block the ice cones.

However,

The ice cones were blocked,

but from all directions, successive ice-sealing mirrors imprisoned the five of them.

Milan's expression changed.

He immediately used an invincibility skill.

The next second,

Countless ice cones pierced into the ice-sealing mirrors.

"Pfft!"

Blood flowed out from the gaps in the mirrors.

"Go."

Hua Hua Qianshuang said indifferently, wanting to grab Li Yao's back again.

"You can't leave."

Before they knew it, Milan had already appeared in front of them.

Hua Hua Qianshuang wasn't surprised.

A sixth-turn professional on the leaderboard wasn't that easy to deal with!

If she remembered correctly, Milan's world ranking among sixth-turn professionals was only one place lower than Xue Xue Jiulan's.

Milan patted the remaining ice shards on his shoulder and said with a smile:

This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading!

"This territory is sealed by the Ice-Sealing Extinction Array."

"This was tailor-made for you, Lady Hua, by our Eagle Kingdom's newly promoted seventh-turn professional."

"An ice-attribute array that can greatly immunize against your attacks."

"I said, you can't leave."

Hearing this, Hua Hua Qianshuang raised her eyebrows slightly: "And you, can you get out?"

"Locked in the same place as me, have you thought about the consequences?"

Milan took a step back, intimidated by Hua Hua Qianshuang's aura, and pretended to be calm:

"Heh, then let's see whether I die first or that little guy behind you dies first."

"No need to look, you'll die first."

Energy gathered in Hua Hua Qianshuang's hand, and then an ice arrow shot out, booming directly into the sky.

"Just by attribute suppression, a stray seventh-turn professional wants to stop me?"

"Who gave you the confidence?"

"You!" Milan was about to speak when he saw a crack appear in the array barrier in the sky.

Milan was stunned; this was a barrier set by a seventh-turn professional, and it was broken so casually?

"It's... it's useless!"

Milan couldn't even speak clearly, bluffing:

"There are dozens of fourth-turn or higher professionals outside; with my Holy Sword here, you can't protect that kid!"

"Hand over the Source of Life, and I'll let you leave!"

He was truly panicking; he originally wanted to kill Li Yao completely, but now he just wanted to keep the Life Pool dungeon.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Hua Hua Qianshuang looked at Milan lightly.

Milan retreated a step involuntarily: "Once the barrier opens, our Holy Sword Guild members can also get out. Lady Hua, you are only one person; there will always be a time when you slip up!"

"How about we each take a step back? You leave the Source of Life, and we'll let bygones be bygones regarding Li Yao's affairs in the Indian Kingdom, how about that?"

Milan didn't know that once the Source of Life changed hands, it couldn't be traded.

This was the only way he could think of!

If he couldn't even keep the Life Pool, if he wasn't killed by Hua Hua Qianshuang now, he wouldn't be able to answer to his superiors when he went back!

Hua Hua Qianshuang didn't answer his question but asked:

"So, your Holy Sword Guild is all inside this barrier?"

"What?" Milan didn't react.

Hua Hua Qianshuang turned her head to look at Li Yao.

"Facing fourth-turn professionals, do you have the confidence to escape?"

Fourth-turn meant professionals between level 60 and 80.

Li Yao also looked at Hua Hua Qianshuang: "Senior Hua, do you have the confidence facing the Holy Sword Guild?"
