After resolving the crisis at the ruins, Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu continued their journey of training.
Their next stop is a mysterious land of ice and snow, where a powerful magician is said to live in seclusion. If they can receive his guidance, their strength will reach a new level.
After a fruitful haul in the Fiery Desert, Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu rested briefly before heading towards the icy lands.
After traversing mountains and valleys, they finally stepped into this world covered in silver.
The cold wind cut across my face like a knife, and every breath was chilling.
They trudged through the snow and ice, searching for the mysterious magician.
One evening, the wind and snow suddenly intensified, turning the world into a chaotic mess with extremely low visibility.
The two lost their way in the snowstorm and gradually ran out of strength.
Just when they were almost in despair, Chen Xiao spotted a faint light in the distance.
They dragged their weary bodies toward the light and finally arrived at an igloo.
Upon knocking on the door of the igloo, a sprightly old man with white hair appeared before them.
The old man looked them over and then ushered them inside. The house was warm and cozy, a stark contrast to the icy, snowy landscape outside.
Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu explained their purpose to the old man, and a strange light flashed in his eyes after hearing it.
It turned out that the old man was the mysterious magician they had been searching for—Han Xing.
Hanxing agreed to guide them, but only on the condition that they pass his test.
The trial involves a cursed ice palace deep within the icy lands, where an ancient ice demon is sealed.
If they can enter the Ice Palace, break part of the Ice Demon's seal, and obtain a piece of ice crystal from the Ice Demon, they will have passed the test.
Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu accepted the challenge without hesitation.
Guided by the cold star, they arrived at the Ice Palace.
The ice palace was surrounded by a chilling atmosphere and towering ice pillars, resembling a giant maze.
The two cautiously entered the ice palace. As soon as they stepped inside, they triggered the ice palace's defense mechanism, and countless ice arrows shot from all directions.
They used magic to fight back with all their might, struggling to move forward in the ice palace.
Deep within the ice palace, they finally found the ancient ice demon that had been sealed away.
The Ice Demon was enormous and exuded a powerful, evil aura.
Following the method taught by Han Xing, Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu attempted to break part of the seal on the Ice Demon.
However, the seal was exceptionally strong, and every attempt they made was met with fierce resistance from the Ice Demon.
In the fierce battle, Xu Ruyu was accidentally hit by the Ice Demon's attack while protecting Chen Xiao and was seriously injured.
Chen Xiao was extremely anxious. Looking at the injured Xu Ruyu, a strong fighting spirit surged within him.
Disregarding her own safety, she unleashed all her power and finally succeeded in breaking part of the Ice Demon's seal and obtaining the Ice Crystal.
Just as they were about to leave, the Ice Demon broke free of the remaining seals and launched a frenzied attack on them.
Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu joined forces to resist. On the brink of life and death, they cooperated tacitly, fusing the power of the stars with their newly comprehended ice and snow magic, unleashing astonishing power and ultimately successfully repelling the ice demon.
Returning to Hanxing's ice house with the ice crystals, Hanxing was very satisfied with their performance.
He began to carefully guide Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu, teaching them more advanced magical techniques and how to use the power of ice and snow.
Under Hanxing's guidance, the two of them further improved their skills.
After completing their studies, Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu bid farewell to Han Xing and prepared to return to Ye Chao.
However, on their way back, they learned that Ye Chao was facing a new crisis.
A mysterious army from another land is gathering at the border, intending to invade the Night Dynasty.
Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu were extremely anxious. They quickened their pace on the return journey, determined to rush back to Yechao and fight alongside the soldiers of Yechao to defend their homeland.
