On the first day, the man guarding outside stood quietly like a sculpture, his eyes fixed on the mysterious place for repairing the chain. At first, this place seemed extremely quiet, as if time had stopped here. However, inadvertently, a powerful force began to surge.
I saw a whirlwind roaring over, carrying endless ice elements and rushing towards the chain repair ground behind him like a surging tide. These ice elements were like lively elves, jumping and dancing in the air, forming an amazing spectacle.
The unimaginably huge ice elements kept passing by him and rushed into the chain repair area.
Such a shocking scene left the man dumbfounded. He stood there blankly, his heart filled with astonishment and fear. After a long while, he came back to his senses as if waking up from a dream, then rushed to the location of the Chinese army leader as fast as he could and reported to him in detail everything he had seen.
After listening to the report, Hua Zhanhong just waved his hand slightly, his expression still calm and composed. He said softly.
"Strengthen the vigilance in the surrounding area. Once you spot any suspicious person, don't hesitate and take action to defeat the enemy immediately. In addition, you must not disturb the people who are repairing the chain inside." Although he looked calm on the surface, Hua Zhanhong's heart had already been in turmoil.
He knew very well that Zizhou's strength was unfathomable, and his demand for ice resources was extremely huge. But even so, he never expected that Zizhou's desire for ice elements would reach such an alarming level that it would affect the entire area.
Five days passed like this
As more and more ice elements were madly absorbed by Zizhou, the atmosphere in the entire area became cold and heavy.
Finally, when Zizhou finished repairing the chain and walked out of the repair site, the smile that Hua Zhanhong had been trying to maintain on his face was almost unable to hold on. The Zizhou in front of us exudes a biting coldness, as if an iceberg is standing there, making people shudder.
Although Zizhou's breakthrough was successful this time, Hua Zhanhong felt extremely troubled by it. The reason is simple, because the surrounding ice elements have been exhausted. If you want to restore it to its original state, it will take a lot of time and energy. Thinking of this, Hua Zhanhong couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Just then, Zizhou walked out from the place where the chain was being repaired. He just waved to Hua Zhanhong with a smile on his face, and that smile seemed brighter and more dazzling than the hottest sunshine in summer. However, when Zizhou noticed Hua Zhanhong's slightly awkward expression, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After all, he knew in his heart that the amount of ice elements he had absorbed during this period of time was too huge, so much so that it had a certain degree of impact on the originally stable elemental balance in this area.
Zizhou looked at Hua Zhanhong and explained with a smile: "I just made a breakthrough. You don't have to look so sad. Relax! I can assure you that I will never let the elements here lose balance. Don't forget, my natural talent is to have a high affinity for elements. It is not difficult to restore the balance between the elements, so you don't have to worry at all."
Hearing this, Hua Zhanhong's eyes suddenly lit up. Without saying a word, he pulled Zizhou and went straight to his office. This office was not unfamiliar to Zizhou, as it was where they often gathered to discuss matters. As soon as he entered the office, Zizhou, as usual, leisurely picked up a cup of steaming hot black tea, took a sip, and then quietly gazed at the setting sun outside the window.
It was not until the sun completely disappeared below the horizon and the afterglow dyed the sky orange and red that Zizhou slowly put down the teacup in his hand and opened his lips.
"You are not far from the sea, so the air is rich in water elements. As long as I can use it properly, it is not impossible to solve the current problem of ice element shortage. Although it is impossible to achieve a perfect balance between elements immediately, it can at least effectively alleviate the adverse effects of this situation."
After hearing the other party explain the countermeasures so confidently, Hua Zhanhong, who had been worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's great! I didn't expect that your demand for the ice element would be so great this time." Zizhou slowly put down the teacup in his hand and responded thoughtfully.
"To be honest, I don't even know why there is such a huge demand. But fortunately, this breakthrough went quite smoothly. Although the amount of ice element required was huge, it didn't have much negative impact overall. Moreover, after completing the breakthrough, I deliberately spent some time to consolidate my own strength. If not, I'm afraid it might indeed cause some adverse consequences."
Seeing Zizhou achieve a breakthrough so easily, Hua Zhanhong couldn't help but feel a little envious. Thinking back to the many hardships and obstacles he had gone through when he broke through that year, Zizhou's path to advancement was obviously much smoother in comparison.
At this moment, Zizhou, who had successfully entered the super-class realm, seemed to have seen through Hua Zhanhong's unspoken question and took the initiative to bring up the topic: "This time, my idea has been determined. As for the awakening location of the new system, I will choose you here."
In fact, Zizhou himself already has the ability to awaken himself, but the unique idea he wants to try this time still relies on the awakening stone to be realized.
Hua Zhanhong did not raise any objection to this decision. Although he was a little confused as to why Zizhou chose to awaken here, he did not care too much about it. Instead, he was looking forward to witnessing with great interest what attributes Zizhou would be able to awaken this time.
Just as Hua Zhanhong was about to order his men to fetch the Awakening Stone, Zizhou, who was standing nearby, suddenly added.
"You don't need to take the awakening stone for directional awakening. Just bring me the one that contains a variety of mixed energies."
Hearing this, Hua Zhanhong couldn't help but feel surprised, but he still gave the order without hesitation according to Zizhou's request.
Not long after, a pitch-black awakening stone that looked like black jade was delivered to Zizhou.
After Zizhou took the awakening stone, he felt it carefully and soon realized that the energy contained in it was indeed extremely chaotic.
After confirming that everything was correct, he began the awakening ceremony in front of Hua Zhanhong.
Zizhou was seen placing his palm lightly on the Awakening Stone, with his eyes slightly closed, concentrating on guiding the power in his body to blend with the Awakening Stone.
As time passed, a strange light gradually emanated from the awakening stone in Zizhou's hand.
Surprisingly, this light was not the bright yellow light that everyone was familiar with, but a dark golden light that had never been seen before.
This mysterious and profound color seemed to indicate that the department that Zizhou was about to awaken was different from the others. Even Hua Zhanhong, who had been watching closely, couldn't help but widen his eyes with an expression of disbelief on his face.
