When he learned that his parents had died on the front lines, he took up the sword for revenge and killing.

When you and your friends are in danger, you carry a sword so that you have the ability to protect them.

The Star Devourer hummed, seemingly unusually excited.

Jiang Wuyuan reached out and grasped the hilt of the Devouring Star sword, then slowly stood up.

At this moment, my will is the will of the sword.

The sword in my hand should be used by me.

A powerful sword intent surged into the sky, a seemingly calm yet turbulent atmosphere.

Before anyone could even react, Jiang Wuyuan had already reappeared in front of the alien race.

Seeing its surprised expression, Jiang Wuyuan curled his lips.

"Brilliance".

The whispered murmur does not affect the skill's effect.

After being imbued with sword intent, the golden phantom became several times larger than before.

He held a golden greatsword and suddenly opened his eyes.

The oppressive force poured down, pressing heavily on the alien race.

"This is impossible! How could this be?!" the alien roared, his face contorted in a grotesque grimace. "I don't believe it! I don't believe it!! Die!!!"

The black palm print collided with the golden greatsword once again.

However, it will never end the same way as last time.

Ding—

Sparks flew everywhere, and a violent energy fluctuation erupted where the two parts came into contact.

Huo Ling, who was relatively close, was pushed to the ground by the shockwave. However, he could no longer feel the pain, and his eyes were staring blankly at Jiang Wuyuan's back.

"Human, you deserve to die!!!" the alien roared, struggling to hold on.

Jiang Wuyuan's face showed neither sorrow nor joy, as the Star Devourer in his hand smoothly traced an arc.

Click!

The black palm print shattered with a crash.

"No! You can't kill me! You can't kill me! Join the alien race, and I can give you endless riches and glory!" The alien race was now completely panicked.

It stared at the ever-growing golden giant sword, its eyes filled with terror.

Jiang Wuyuan looked at him coldly and slowly uttered two words: "Disgusting."

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of sword light appeared.

The alien stared wide-eyed, trying to cover its neck, but it was too late.

As the hideous head rolled to the ground, Jiang Wuyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was instantly exhausted and his body fell straight backward.

"Ice cube!" Huo Ling lunged forward and caught his body. "Hey, wake up, don't die!"

“He’s not dead.” Si Menglan limped over. “He just fainted from exhaustion. He’ll be fine after a rest.”

Huo Ling breathed a sigh of relief and tightly protected Jiang Wuyuan's body.

Yang Feiying and Fu Xuelai also came over and stood seriously in front of Jiang Wuyuan, their sharp eyes fixed on the few remaining people present.

Si Menglan glanced at them but said nothing.

It's good to be cautious, especially since Jiang Wuyuan saved her life.

Xiao Cheng's expression was strange at this moment, but he was still very grateful and admiring towards Jiang Wuyuan.

As a fellow student, he was amazed by the difference between the two and admired Jiang Wuyuan's strength as a powerful individual.

Xiao Cheng knew Huo Ling and Yang Feiying. The three had similar backgrounds and had a lot of trade dealings with each other before.

He walked towards Huo Ling: "Thank you very much this time."

Huo Ling rolled her eyes at him: "Hmph, you're just enjoying my good fortune!"

Xiao Cheng didn't want to argue with him, so she took out three third-tier blood crystals from her spatial ring: "These are just some tokens of my appreciation. There will be more when I get home."

Huo Ling nodded: "Okay, I will pass it on."

Watching him carefully put away the blood crystal, Xiao Cheng turned around and sat down in a spot that wasn't too far away, waiting for the rescue to arrive.

As mentioned before, this secret realm of the Ice Age can accommodate approximately five hundred people.

Only a little over 400 people registered and carried out the missions. Although some of the remaining slots were wasted, a few slots are usually reserved for rescue operations in case of special circumstances.

Just as the group was quietly waiting for the officials, a faint blue light, invisible to anyone, darted into Jiang Wuyuan's backpack.

The sword spirit curiously sensed it for a moment, and once again marveled at its little apprentice's good fortune.

——

When Jiang Wuyuan opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on a bed.

The ceiling above was no longer an ice palace, but a white ceiling.

"Ice Cube, you're awake?"

The familiar voice made Jiang Wuyuan turn his head and see Huo Ling sitting by the hospital bed, holding a half-peeled apple in his hand.

"Hmm," Jiang Wuyuan responded softly. "How many days have I slept?"

"Two days." Huo Ling smiled. "You have no idea how scared I was when you fainted."

Jiang Wuyuan sat up: "Why did you bring me to the hospital?"

"I originally wanted Xiaobaicai to treat you, but you still didn't wake up after the treatment, so I brought you here." Huo Ling scratched his head. "Although that masked woman said you fainted from exhaustion, who knows if that's true?"

Jiang Wuyuan nodded: "Thank you."

Huo Ling waved his hand: "Oh, it's nothing. But you saved my life again."

"We don't talk about these things between friends."

Huo Ling smiled and asked, "So how are you feeling now?"

Jiang Wuyuan got out of bed and stretched for a bit: "I feel great."

As the two were chatting, the ward door was suddenly pushed open, and a young woman in a white nurse's uniform rushed in: "The patient in bed number 18 has no vital signs... um..."

She glanced at Huo Ling, who was happily holding an apple, and Jiang Wuyuan, who was getting out of bed and stretching, and said somewhat speechlessly, "This patient, leaving the testing machine without permission will cause us trouble."

"I'm so sorry, I forgot about it. It was all a misunderstanding." Huo Ling scratched his head awkwardly. "It's alright here, you can go back to your work."
