This Life's Song: The Genius Rune Master

The dagger shot out like a streak of light, accompanied by a squeaking sound.

Then a white object, about the size of a polar bear, jumped up.

The dagger pierced straight through the white object. A vacuum appeared where the object was stabbed, and the dagger emerged from the body, slowly healing before falling to the ground.

Lian Xue stared in disbelief at the magical snowdrift, and it took her a while to come to her senses before she used her mental power to recall the dagger.

Having been intimidated, the white snowdrifts stopped advancing and simply stared at Lianxue and Heiyu.

Lianxue, on guard, couldn't help but ask Heiyu, "What is this thing? Do you know what it is?"

Black Feather hesitated. Because of its injury, its strength was equivalent to that of a human martial general, the same as that of Lian Xue at this moment. Its memories were also sealed along with its strength. It only remembered that it was the guardian of the Phoenix Bracelet.

Then he couldn't remember what caused the injury, only what happened after he entered the Phoenix Bracelet. What was this thing? After thinking for a long time, Hei Yu said, "Legend has it that there is an element that can be cultivated into a spiritual body, and the feeling it gives people is the same as a certain object."

Lianxue listened attentively to Heiyu's story.

"Their bodies contain extremely high levels of elements, born from the essence of elements and living by nurturing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They are a very special kind of elemental body, known as the essence of elements."

Lianxue looked at the snowdrift in front of her, which stood as still as a mountain, and asked, "Then why is it chasing me?"

Kuroba walked in a circle on the ground, saying slowly, "Because you can absorb elements!"

Lianxue was even more puzzled after hearing this, "Shouldn't it be hiding far away?"

Hei Yu leaped back onto Lian Xue's shoulder and looked at the snowdrift in front of him, saying, "Because your physique can also become their nourishment, as long as they absorb your power, they can reach a higher level, and even become transformed spirits. At that time, they can break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao and the constraints of the Five Elements. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Hearing Hei Yu's words, Lian Xue became even more wary. "If there's no one with a psychic constitution like me, would it be useless to encounter someone with that ability?"

Black Feather shook his head and licked his paws in a pretentious manner, "That's not entirely true. For example, people who have reached the Martial Emperor realm can touch the elements and even use them, but the amount they can use is limited and cannot be compared with those with a spiritual constitution."

These things belong to the heritage of their clan, and only now, deep in its memory, can it answer with ease.

"You can also capture it and put it into the Phoenix Bracelet, so that the Phoenix Bracelet can also have ice and snow elements."

Upon hearing the next sentence, Lianxue's eyes lit up. She felt that the most urgent task now was to upgrade the Phoenix Bracelet.

As for other things, I can consider them later. The most important thing is to first develop my own trump card to save my life.

The Phoenix Bracelet is my secret and my backup plan; upgrading it is the key.

After hearing what the two said, the snowdrift began to retreat.

Black Feather narrowed his eyes and said excitedly, "So it has already begun to develop sentience. We should catch it quickly and absorb it for our own use."

Upon hearing this, Lianxue flicked out a talisman to immobilize the snow pile. Her fingers flew, the talisman disappeared, and the snow pile stopped moving. Lianxue took a few steps forward, stretched out her hand, and silently chanted, "Stop!" The snow pile disappeared.

Lianxue was very happy, as she had acquired another prize.

Unfortunately, her joy was short-lived, as a loud wolf howl rang out, "Awoo~ Awoo~ woowoo."

The black feathers bristled and stood upright, a characteristic of cats. They would do this whenever they faced a strong opponent; it was a subconscious behavior, not out of fear, but as a warning and precaution.

Hei Yu spoke up to remind Lian Xue, "Snow Silver Wolves, be careful. They also come in packs and are hard to spot because they are the same color as the snow."

As Lianxue watched the silvery-white object slowly approaching, if it weren't for the footprints on the ground, she really wouldn't have been able to tell that something was getting close. The first thing Lianxue did was to immediately leave the mountain wall.

We must get to an open area now, otherwise we could easily be attacked if we are not careful.

As the snow wolf howled, the snow seemed to freeze, and even the snowflakes falling from the sky were frozen in mid-air.

As Lianxue saw the footprints approaching, she kicked one away. The snow wolf's open mouth revealed white teeth, with only its tongue showing a light red tinge.

Lian Xue kicked one away and flung out a flame talisman, but in the vast snowfield, this flame seemed so small that it went out in less than a breath.

It's like trying to ignite a match in a cold wind.

The Snow Wolf's defining characteristic is its speed; it's almost as fast as lightning.

The Lotus Snow Flame Talisman failed, so she raised her right foot and kicked one of the wolves away. Then, she bent her left elbow and struck the wolf in the belly, causing it to howl in pain.

With a swift, fluid motion, he wielded his right dagger.

The dagger, imbued with spiritual power, slashed a wolf's eye.

The sobbing was imperceptible.

"Master, let me out, I'll deal with them."

Upon hearing this, Lianxue realized it was Bai Lang, who was in seclusion. "You're awake, that's good."

After Bai Lang came out, he greeted Lian Xue and then pounced on her, saying, "Master, step back and leave it to me."

The white wolf's fur is also white, but it can still be distinguished from the snow wolf's color.

These snow wolves were a head taller than Bai Lang.

Moreover, Bai Lang has a decoration around its neck, which Lian Xue bought for Bai Lang in Fengyu Town. Unexpectedly, it put it on by itself.

Bai Lang sensed Lian Xue's feelings. After knocking away a snow wolf, his voice reached Lian Xue's ears, "I like it very much, thank you, Master." Then he continued fighting.

Lian Xue wasn't idle either. Bai Lang had dispersed some of the snow wolves, but many were still attacking her. She was also fighting and didn't answer Bai Lang's question, only slightly raising the corners of her mouth.

Black Feather said jealously, "Tch~ It's just a dog's body. What's there to be happy about?" It gripped Lianxue's shoulder tightly, afraid that it would be thrown off by the battle.

Lianxue ignored Heiyu's words and waved her hand to slap away the snow wolf that was attacking from the right.

Bai Lang heard it; its voice appeared in Hei Yu's mind, "You stinky cat, so what? You're here to fight the enemy too! You're so high and mighty. I'm happy with what my master gave me, but you aren't."

Upon hearing this, Kuroba lost all his previous noble demeanor and narrowed his eyes. "It's just defending against enemies, what's so great about it? If I hadn't been injured, these would have been child's play." He then jumped down defiantly.

Lianxue noticed its movement, reached out with her left hand, but missed.

Lianxue was unaware of the contest between the two little ones and didn't think much about it; it was just a subconscious action.

Black Feather landed with lightning speed; after a flash of light, a snow wolf collapsed, lifeless.

Crimson blood slid down from the sharp claws of the black feather.

Seeing this, Bai Lang stopped joking and charged forward with all his might.

It grabbed the snow wolf by the neck with its mouth, scratched and clawed with its paws, hugged the snow wolf's body, bit its neck and tore hard. With a tearing sound, blood and bits of flesh splattered, and the snow wolf whimpered and fell to the ground.

As if in a show of defiance, Bai Lang opened his blood-soaked mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and turned to look at Hei Yu.

Kuroba felt that he had lost to Bai Lang in this match, which was really terrible. Even a mouse can tolerate it, but a cat cannot.
