C370 Magical Equipment Type(1)
"Is there really no way out of this disaster?" Woo Zhengyang murmured to himself as he put away the map of the Xuanyuan Formation. The three sects of the Fallen Sun Country had already gone all in. Their main goal was the No Life Sword, but by now, it was more than just about the sword.
Woo Zhengyang believed that even if he could leave the No Life Sword and hand it over to them, the Profound Heaven Sect would still be doomed. The situation had spiraled beyond the control of the three sects of the Fallen Sun Country.
Woo Zhengyang was reckless, but only with himself. He couldn't bear to risk others' lives for his own madness, so he was open to compromise if necessary.
"Bing'er, Jing'er, Li'er, Huo'er, is anyone there?" Woo Zhengyang reached out mentally to the four women in the Ice Crystal Fire Hall to see who wasn't busy training.
"Oh wow, you rarely reach out to us," a voice quickly responded in Woo Zhengyang's mind.
The title "Young Master" felt awkward, so as he got closer to the four women, he had them change it.
In the world of martial arts, everyone trains together. Woo Zhengyang originally wanted them to address each other as senior and junior siblings, like ordinary practitioners, but the four women disagreed, so it became "Sir."
"Huo'er?" Woo Zhengyang asked uncertainly.
"It's me, it's me! I'm so happy you remembered my voice, Sir," Huo'er replied excitedly.
Woo Zhengyang felt a bit embarrassed. The four young women were in the prime of their youth, their voices clear and melodious, like the sound of silver bells. He hadn't interacted with them much, so it was hard to remember each one. However, Huo'er was always lively and took the most breaks, often wanting to come out and play. So, she was the first to come to his mind.
"Hey, Huo'er, I wanted to ask you about the Ice Crystal Fire Hall."
"Sure, sure, come on in and ask! I haven't seen you in days."
"Let's just talk like this," Woo Zhengyang hesitated, choosing not to enter the Ice Crystal Fire Hall.
Inside, the sight of young women, unabashedly comfortable in their own skin, was overwhelming for Woo Zhengyang. Especially as he was at an age where emotions were easily stirred. Unless absolutely necessary, he preferred not to enter the hall, which is why he went to great lengths to conceal his presence.
His inquiry was related to this situation. Since the disaster facing the Profound Heaven Sect seemed unavoidable and he felt powerless to change it, Woo Zhengyang hoped to use the power of the Ice Crystal Fire Hall to protect as many people from the sect as possible. He needed to understand how to handle the situation and how many people the hall could actually safeguard.
Huo'er listened to his question but didn't answer right away.
After a long pause, a voice finally came through: "Sir, it's Bing'er. Are you facing some trouble?"
Woo Zhengyang had kept his troubles to himself, not wanting to distract the four women, hoping to resolve things with his own strength. But now that Bing'er asked, he didn't hide anything and explained the whole situation.
"Sir, why don't you summon the Ice Crystal Fire Hall and let us out?" Bing'er suggested after hearing his story.
Though a bit puzzled, Woo Zhengyang didn't question further. He summoned the Ice Crystal Fire Hall, allowing the four women to sense the outside world and step out.
"Whoosh... whoosh..."
Four striking figures appeared before Woo Zhengyang, each with their unique charm: Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju. Bing'er, the eldest, was the most composed among them. Jing'er had a cool demeanor and was the most diligent in her practice. Li'er was shy, her cheeks always flushed when she was around Woo Zhengyang.
As for Huo'er, she was lively and mischievous. As soon as she appeared, she clung to Woo Zhengyang's arm, playfully complaining, "Ah, finally I can breathe! I was about to suffocate."
Woo Zhengyang was speechless. The Ice Crystal Fire Hall was a world of its own, capable of slowly generating its own energy, so there was no way anyone could suffocate in there.
Upon hearing Huo'er's words, Woo Zhengyang felt a twinge of guilt. It hadn't been long since he acquired the Ice Crystal Fire Hall, and he'd only let the four out once. Although they were training, being cooped up inside felt like being trapped in a cage. If it were him, he wouldn't be too comfortable either.
"You all..." Woo Zhengyang began to apologize but was left speechless.
"What is it, sir? Do we look even prettier now?" Huo'er teased with a playful smile.
"How did you all reach the Shape Gathering Stage?" Woo Zhengyang asked, trying to stay calm, but he was clearly astonished.
The four women didn't hide their energy levels upon appearing. The unique nature of the Ice Crystal Fire Body made it difficult for others to discern their progress, but Woo Zhengyang, having the same body type, could sense it.
All four had reached the Shape Gathering Stage. Jing'er was the most diligent, reaching the late stage, while Bing'er, Li'er, and even the more playful Huo'er were at the mid-stage.
Woo Zhengyang distinctly remembered that the last time they appeared, their skills were below his, and he was only at the Martial Disciple level then. In just a few months, they had all advanced to the Shape Gathering Stage, leaving him utterly amazed.
