Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

After resealing a dozen cracks, Li Ming took Cecily and Xingmei and stepped into the ice abyss again, returning to the statue to continue absorbing the essence of the crystal core.

At present, Li Ming's ice element resistance has reached 498 points.

Continuing to draw power from the L7 grade ice element crystal core, the increase in resistance is already minimal.

In addition, a tremendous amount of ice energy has accumulated in his body.

If no fusion and transformation occurs, the absorbed energy will slowly dissipate over time.

According to Cletina, the energy of order and chaos is the optimal solution for the fusion of the first and second supernatural powers.

Now that he has successfully integrated chaos energy, the next step is to choose order energy as the second supernatural power to integrate.

But the problem was that he had no order energy to use.

Therefore, if he wants to further improve his own strength, there are only two paths before him.

First, he can choose to continue absorbing and fusing more chaos energy.

Considering that the chaotic energy that has been integrated into the body is too scarce, if it can be absorbed in large quantities, even if its level does not increase, its strength will be significantly enhanced.

Secondly, it is to choose to fuse the ice element energy.

Fusion of the second type of energy is naturally a good way to quickly improve strength, but doing so will greatly increase the difficulty of fusing order energy in the future.

However, is this really the case?

Li Ming actually had a lot of questions in his mind.

He did not suspect that Cletina was lying, but he was seriously skeptical about the so-called "best solution" that required the fusion of order and chaos energies first.

Although the system is inhumane in many cases, there is not much to criticize in terms of fairness.

The Eye of Chaos is a priceless treasure he obtained by accident and is not universal.

In other words, if he had not obtained this rare object, the first energy he fused would definitely not be chaos energy, but more likely fire element energy.

From this, we can infer that the situation of other teams is probably similar.

Imagine if it is impossible to obtain the two energies of order or chaos in the game scene, and you are forced to integrate the energies of other attributes first, then where is the fairness of the system?

So, what exactly is the problem?

Li Ming couldn't figure it out, but he didn't dwell too much on it.

If there is an opportunity to prioritize the integration of order energy, he will certainly not let it go, but if not, he will decisively choose to integrate energy of other attributes and improve his strength first.

After clearing his mind, he exhaled gently and began to try to integrate the ice element energy accumulated in his body.

"Hmm?" The fusion had just begun, and Li Ming noticed something was wrong.

He carefully felt the ice element energy slowly seeping into the chaotic lightning energy, and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

Compared with the previous bumpy experience of fusing chaos energy, the process of fusing ice element energy this time was unexpectedly smooth, and the difficulty was reduced by at least 90%.

"Interesting..." He stared at the statue in front of him with a dreamy look in his eyes, and an inexplicable smile quietly emerged at the corner of his mouth.

Under normal circumstances, the fusion of ice element energy would never be so smooth and unobstructed, so the only explanation lies in this statue.

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, more than a hundred hours had passed.

Xingmei absorbed the energy of the ice element crystal core at an increasingly faster speed. So far, she had absorbed the energy of five crystal cores, and the volume of the sixth crystal core had shrunk by half.

In comparison, Cecily's progress was much slower.

Up to this moment, she had only absorbed the energy of one force-attribute crystal core, and had just begun the second one.

When the statue entered a dangerous period again, Li Ming quickly reached out to hug the two people beside him and quickly retreated to the entrance of the ice cave.

Then, he rubbed his slightly swollen pupils and said, "It's almost time, we have to go back first."

"Okay." Cecily responded casually, obviously having no objection to this.

Xing Mei's face flashed with hesitation. She thought for a moment and said softly, "Li Ming, I have a feeling that I only need to absorb the remaining half of the crystal core's energy to complete my physical transformation."

After hearing this, Li Ming was shocked at first, and then delighted, "Are you really sure?"

"I'm sure." Xingmei stared at him with her beautiful lavender eyes and answered with a firm tone.

Li Ming didn't think much about it and made a decision immediately, "Okay, then we'll stay for another thirty hours."

Two hours later, the statue was placed in a safe place.

The three of them wasted no time and immediately returned to the statue on the ice platform, sat down side by side, and continued to absorb the crystal core energy.

Li Ming was still working hard to integrate the energy of the ice element. The whole process was smooth and natural, as if it was a natural process, and there were almost no obstacles.

However, in order to achieve perfect integration, it seems that a key opportunity is still missing.

Is it because the pressure is not enough? He pondered in his heart, and his thoughts inadvertently returned to the experience of fusing chaotic energy.

After some thought, it seems that this is the only explanation that makes sense.

At this moment, although the ice element energy accumulated in his body has been completely integrated, he does not feel that his strength has increased significantly, because it has not yet reached a state of perfect integration, resulting in no qualitative change in the energy.

Afterwards, Li Ming opened the character attribute interface and took a quick glance. As expected, the level had not changed, and the talent column still showed Chaos Thunder Source.

Since he was unable to perfectly integrate the ice element energy for the time being, he did not sit idle. He took out an emerald green wood element crystal core from the system backpack, then gently placed his palm on it and began to absorb the energy from it.

All planes set up by the teleportation center have one significant commonality, that is, they can all produce elemental crystal cores.

The intention of this design is self-evident, which is to allow players to absorb and integrate various elemental energies first.

It is for this reason that he can choose to fuse the ice element energy first with peace of mind.

Thirty hours passed in a flash.

When Xingmei absorbed the remaining half of the crystal core, she was surrounded by rich ice element energy, as if she was in an icy wonderland.

"Li Ming, I feel like I can't control the energy in my body anymore..." She said softly, with a hint of uneasiness in her tone.

Li Ming hurriedly took the two of them off the ice platform and back to the entrance of the ice cave.

As they walked, he comforted her gently, "Don't worry, this is normal. You have absorbed too much ice energy, and your physique has become unbalanced. Now is the time to prepare for the transformation."

"Okay..." Xingmei exhaled softly, sat down cross-legged, and tried hard to calm her inner restlessness, trying to let her heartbeat gradually return to normal.

Then, she slowly closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and felt the surging, almost overflowing ice energy in her body. Her consciousness gradually penetrated deeper into her body and merged with this majestic energy...
