Chapter 930: Ice Element Essence! New Discovery!

Cold wind howled, and endless snowflakes seemed to dye the entire world white.

In this vast white world, only Xu Jingming's dark figure stood out most prominently.

Before the ice giant over two hundred meters tall, Xu Jingming, standing over three meters high, appeared tiny.

Yet his aura, gripping the long spear, was no less formidable—even faintly overshadowing his opponent!

The blizzard capable of freezing a seventh-rank Master-level adept into an ice statue could not harm Xu Jingming at all, blocked by the Chaotic Divine Thunder.

Black lightning flashed—the spear, wrapped in terrifying might, thrust forward abruptly!

Sssshhh!!

The ice giant's body, as hard as SS-grade alloy, was instantly slashed open by a wound several meters long!

Whoo—

The ice giant did not sit idle; its massive ice palm, tens of meters wide, slammed down violently.

The immense wind force stirred up another storm!

Yet on Xu Jingming's calm face, not a single emotion stirred.

Lightning flashed—he appeared instantly on the other side of the ice giant.

Sssshhh!

Another fresh wound appeared on the ice giant's body.

Xu Jingming's form did not stop—he kept flashing, continuously hammering the spear into the ice giant.

From afar, it looked like a bolt of black lightning leaping across the ice giant's surface.

"Could Jingming's attacks really be this strong?"

On Su Qingli's fair, delicate face appeared a look of astonishment.

She knew that only one of her SS-grade combat techniques could leave a wound on this massive ice giant.

Yet every time Xu Jingming thrust his spear, he left a substantial wound!

Although she had not yet elementalized or activated her domain just now, Xu Jingming had also not used any powerful combat technique.

Yet what she did not know was that Xu Jingming's spear technique had already reached Perfection level.

His Perfection-level spear technique had only one trait: speed!

Extreme speed, combined with SSS-grade Chaotic Divine Thunder.

It made Xu Jingming seem as if he held lightning itself—each spear thrust inflicted massive damage.

"Thunder-Piercing Demon-Slaying Spear!"

Boom-boom-boom!!

A thick column of black lightning blazed to life!

Xu Jingming's spear obliterated one-third of the ice giant's body!

Yet this was not over.

While thrusting the spear, he used his mind to release another technique simultaneously.

Thunder Dragon Art, Lei Shen Zhi—like divine punishment—crashed down upon the ice giant.

"Dual cultivation of martial and arcane arts—what terrifying power is this?"

Su Qingli murmured in awe.

Xu Jingming alone could match the combined offensive power of a martial artist and an elemental master.

Even surpass it slightly.

After all, two adepts would need to coordinate with each other.

But Xu Jingming alone could achieve the perfect timing for technique release.

The ice plain was the ice giant's domain, but Xu Jingming's Chaotic Divine Thunder combined with his spear technique was simply too terrifying.

He eliminated it in less than five minutes.

Boom-boom-boom~~~

The two-hundred-meter-tall ice giant, covered in wounds, collapsed with a thunderous crash.

Massive ice chunks smashed into the ground, carving deep craters, and causing nearby glaciers to show signs of collapse.

Xu Jingming, back on solid ground, felt a hint of regret.

Killing this ice giant granted him no ability points at all.

"Looks like I still need to find a group of demonic beasts. But what is this newly formed energy?"

Xu Jingming gazed ahead.

Although the ice giant's spiritual force had been completely extinguished, in his perception—

When the ice giant collapsed, a brand-new energy was forming.

"Could the ice giant not be fully killed?" Xu Jingming frowned.

It was not impossible—he had never encountered such a creature before.

Thinking this, the black Chaotic Divine Thunder swirling around his body grew even more violent.

Behind him, the Brilliant Thunder Ring rotated slowly, poised and ready to unleash a technique at any moment.

"Jingming."

Su Qingli's slender figure descended from the sky and landed beside Xu Jingming, also ready to strike at any moment.

The blizzard, deprived of the ice giant's control, gradually subsided; the newly condensed energy neared completion.

Before their eyes appeared a snow-white energy sphere, the size of a basketball.

This energy sphere seemed to contain immensely powerful ice-element energy.

Around the sphere, a miniature space formed spontaneously, with snowflakes continuously drifting down.

What is this thing?

Xu Jingming, sensing no psychic energy fluctuations from the energy sphere, thought to himself.

Under the control of his psychic energy, he directly pulled the cold snowball down from midair.

The moment he touched it, a bone-chilling cold surged through his fingers.

The snowball's temperature was at least minus two hundred degrees!

"This energy signature... how is it similar to the elemental essence I encountered before?"

Just as he was puzzled, Eva's holographic projection emerged from his smart bracer, exclaiming in delight:

"S-class! This is ice elemental essence!"

"So it really is elemental essence?" Xu Jingming stared in shock, holding the snow-white elemental ice ball.

"And it's not ordinary elemental essence."

Pale blue virtual light shot from Eva and projected onto the snowball.

"The condensation level of this ice element is terrifying."

"I've never seen an elemental essence with this structure before."

"But compared to ordinary elemental essence, its contained elemental energy is far more advanced..."

Eva's cute little face glowed with excitement; after carefully scanning for a while, she concluded with excitement:

"This is indeed ice elemental essence—and far rarer than ordinary ice elemental essence."

"If used by an ice-element S-class psychic, it might even evolve the psychic ability directly to SS-class!"

"Elemental essence that can evolve a psychic ability to SS-class?"

Xu Jingming and Su Qingli exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

SS-class psychic abilities were not common.

Even the flame world of a peak civilization's prodigy held fewer than fifteen SS-class psychics.

A single elemental essence like this could reverse fate for a psychic, granting them an entirely different combat power.

"It's only a possibility."

Eva realized she might have exaggerated and quickly added:

"Based on the energy currently stored in this elemental essence, the probability of transformation is less than 1%."

"Even 1% is enough."

Xu Jingming stared at the snow-white ice ball in his hand, "I'm certain—if this news gets out,

countless psychics will fight to the death to seize this ice ball."

The importance of psychic abilities to psychics goes without saying.

Even a 1% chance would draw in legions of eighth- and even ninth-rank experts willing to try.

"And this elemental essence can probably still improve, right?"

Xu Jingming mused.

"Probably."

Eva nodded, "If we destroy a few more of these ice glacier giants, this ice elemental essence should become even more condensed."

At that moment, Su Qingli beside him suddenly spoke up:

"Jingming, come look! There seem to be other things here!"

PS: On the last day of 2024, I wish everyone good health and all the best in the new year!
