Xia He began to mobilize the spiritual energy within her body, directing it to her arms and hands. This made Xia He's muscles stronger and also provided flexibility to tighten them.
Then, with lightning speed, Xia He grabbed the target's clothes and limbs with a strong grip, her fingers like iron clamps, firmly fixing them to the target.
Once she has a firm grasp on her target, Xia He begins to twist and control her opponent in an unexpected way, using her spiritual power to contort the target into an unfavorable posture almost instantly, thereby restricting the opponent's freedom of movement.
Grappling is a technique that utilizes spiritual power. Xia He can use spiritual power to enhance the power of her moves, and even knock down or imprison her opponent when necessary.
Xia He diligently practiced grappling techniques and the Spirit Shadow Slash on the rooftop for five days without realizing it.
On the morning of the sixth day, Xia He woke up from her meditation and looked down from the rooftop, noticing that the ice on the surrounding buildings was melting rapidly.
The extreme cold has lingered for months, with frigid ice and snow covering the entire region, making people feel suffocated.
However, on this very day, nature began to undergo incredible changes.
As the sun slowly rose, its warm rays shone on the ground. Initially, the sunlight only showed patches of light on the surface of the ice, but as time went on, the warmth gradually increased, and people saw the sun shining brightly and the warmth returning, excitedly running wildly on the ice.
Feeling this long-lost warmth, they all thought the apocalypse was over and their lives were about to get back on track. However, in the next moment...
The ice began to crack with a rumbling sound, as if a sleeping giant were awakening.
The ice beneath the surface rapidly turned into flowing liquid, creating huge cracks that swept away many of the people who were reveling on the ice.
Some people who were close to the building saw the ice suddenly crack and immediately ran towards it, thus saving their lives. Others fell into the water and never came ashore again.
Some were lucky enough to be washed ashore by the current, but they all suffered cuts and scratches.
Water surged out from under the ice, its flow accelerating dramatically, like a wild horse breaking free of its reins.
Some old and unstable buildings were destroyed by the huge ice and snow waves, houses collapsed, and trees were washed away.
Moreover, the water was turbulent with undercurrents, and the frozen corpses, now enormous and swollen, floated on the surface, drifting away with the current.
The surviving buildings weren't much better off; the ice inside had melted into water, and the entire building was filled with a damp atmosphere.
Water droplets dripped from the ice, falling softly onto the floor.
The air conditioning inside the building was replaced, but a damp feeling permeated the air. People were freed from their heavy clothing and cheered with joy at the rising temperature.
The small puddles formed by the ice blocks indoors began to shimmer faintly in the light.
The initial joy gradually faded.
The air felt damp and sticky, making it feel humid and stuffy.
The walls and floors inside were dripping water, and the dampness made their clothes and skin uncomfortable. Their clothes were heavy and damp, sticking to their bodies, and their skin felt wet.
The floodwaters outside were so raging that even with sunshine, it was impossible to step outside.
People's longing for dryness and coolness reached its peak, with no trace of the joy of just being freed from extreme cold.
