C100 Being Teased by a Woman(1)

“Wait a minute...”

As Woo Zhengyang reached the entrance of the palace, the woman suddenly called out to him.

“What’s up?” Zhengyang paused and asked.

“I have to say, you’re really lucky! I just remembered something important!”

“Lucky?” Zhengyang was a bit puzzled.

“Of course, lucky! The original rewards from the Ice Crystal Fire Palace are gone, but you’ve received something even more precious. Young man, you better cherish them!”

“Them? Who are they?”

“They’re the people around you! Hehe... You’ve seen them all, so you’ve got to take responsibility for them.”

The woman giggled, seemingly at ease.

However, Zhengyang couldn’t feel the same way!

This woman actually expected him to be responsible for these sealed women. It was just too unbelievable... Was he supposed to stay here and be frozen with them?

“What do you mean?”

“They are some of our most outstanding disciples from the Ice Crystal Fire Palace. Due to certain special reasons, they had to be sealed away. Later, when the Ice Crystal Fire Hall was built, I placed them here, intending to use the power of the hall to slowly nurture their bodies. I didn’t expect the hall’s power to fail.”

“After all these years... they might...”

“No, they won’t. They all have bodies attuned to ice or fire. Even though this is just a temporary Ice Crystal Fire Hall, it contains the balancing forces of ice and fire. Even without the hall’s power, they can remain safe and eventually recover.”

"Are you saying... they're all ice crystal bodies or fire bodies? And they can actually wake up?"

This revelation startled Woo Zhengyang. She had assumed these young women were dead, only to discover they were merely sealed and might even awaken. If figures from ancient times were to wake up now, it would undoubtedly cause quite a stir.

Moreover, Woo Zhengyang noted that the woman mentioned these girls were either ice crystal bodies or fire bodies. Both are rare, mystical constitutions, making those who possess them natural martial arts prodigies, able to train with remarkable efficiency.

Zhongli Huo, the top disciple of the outer sect of the Profound Heaven Sect, is a fire body. When he joined the sect, it sparked envy among the other three major sects. Even the Heavenly Martial Academy was eager to recruit him, promising to recommend him to the Heavenly Martial Sect. However, the leader of the Profound Heaven Sect intervened, willing to risk conflict to protect Zhongli Huo. Although such a constitution is one in a million, the Heavenly Martial Sect wouldn't go to war over it, as a sect in turmoil could still pose a significant threat.

Now, with nearly a hundred young women possessing these mystical constitutions, how could Woo Zhengyang not be astonished? Could it be that in ancient times, such mystical constitutions were so commonplace?

Although the details from ancient times are not very comprehensive, Woo Zhengyang is certain that the situation was never like this; otherwise, it would have been recorded in some historical texts. The only explanation is that the Ice Crystal Fire Palace was incredibly powerful back then, so much so that having disciples with a spiritual physique wasn't uncommon.

"What's so special about the Ice Crystal Fire Body? Look at those four ahead; they're the elite disciples of our sect, each possessing the Ice Crystal Fire Body!" The woman's words were shocking, and Woo Zhengyang, still reeling from surprise, was once again taken aback.

The Ice Crystal Fire Body... that's a dual spiritual physique. A single spiritual physique might not be enough to cause a rift between the Heavenly Martial Sect and the Profound Heaven Sect, but a dual spiritual physique certainly could. If a dual spiritual physique appeared, not only the Heavenly Martial Sect but even higher-level sects might step in, possibly dedicating all their resources to acquire it, as such a physique could elevate a sect to new heights.

And here, Woo Zhengyang encountered four of them. Moreover, these four young women weren't just ordinary dual spiritual physiques. The Ice Crystal Fire Body is a rare combination of opposing attributes. If not well-controlled, it could be less effective than an ordinary person, but if mastered, it becomes an anomaly among dual spiritual physiques, a genius among geniuses.

The Ice Crystal Fire Palace, as its name suggests, has undoubtedly mastered the control of the Ice Crystal Fire Body. Their recruitment of these disciples is likely intentional, and they must have methods for mastering the Ice Crystal Fire Body.

Woo Zhengyang counted the group: besides the four exceptional young women with the rare Ice Crystal Fire Body, there were ninety-nine other talented girls. Such a formidable force, Zhengyang thought, was beyond the reach of any current sect, certainly more than the Heavenly Martial Sect could muster.

"Are you done being amazed? Hehe... Just wait, you'll be even more surprised soon."

"What do you mean by that, sir?"

"It's simple. Since the Ice Crystal Fire Palace is no longer here, there's no need for the Ice Crystal Fire Hall to remain either. You can take it with you!"

"Take it?"

Zhengyang felt his mind struggling to keep up.

"What, you're not happy? I spent a lot of rare materials crafting this, you know."
