The white-haired school beauty sighs every day, yet he keeps getting stronger.

The training room was empty.

The silver-haired girl slowly stood up, seemingly satisfied with the result.

Her golden soul card, Frost Moon Nether Dragon, wields the power of both frost and darkness.

Its power is so great that it is beyond the comprehension of gods and demons!

This is a bizarre method of rapidly penetrating the crystal core and consuming its energy.

It was the dark authority that granted her her initial abilities.

Its name is Dark Erosion.

The Frost Authority granted her another initial ability.

His name is Frostbreak!

This ability allows any object or living being that Huangfu Yue touches to be quickly covered and frozen by frost.

The area covered by frost will lose temperature rapidly.

This disrupts the stability of the internal structure and significantly reduces its toughness!

This structure would crumble and shatter immediately upon the slightest external impact.

When Huangfu Yue absorbed the crystal core, she used both abilities together.

Frost cuts away the toughness and corrodes the heart!

When the two work together, they can easily achieve a result that is far greater than the sum of its parts.

This is what created Huangfu Yue's terrifying energy conversion efficiency.

If her body hadn't been unable to withstand it, she could have continued to absorb crystal cores to improve her cultivation.

As Huangfu Yue sensed the Soul Card with its seven golden points of light shining in her mind, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and confidence shone through her ethereal silver eyes.

Seven-star preparatory stage!

Even on a national scale, there are few comparable achievements at this time!

Suddenly, a figure appeared in my mind.

It's Zhang Ziyang.

The porcelain doll girl squinted her eyes.

I don't know what level he's at right now.

Will they end up like me?

Even surpassed himself?

The moment the thought crossed her mind, she immediately erased it.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Zhang Ziyang, like her, also possessed a gold-tier soul card.

However, if the Soul Card does not grant him abilities such as "Frost Break" or "Dark Erosion" that can help accelerate the absorption of crystal cores.

In terms of skill level, it is absolutely impossible for them to catch up with or even surpass them!

That huge, golden-armored giant phantom wielding a sword and shield.

It's clearly a combat-oriented Soul Card focused on killing.

The initial ability given to Zhang Ziyang is most likely to enhance his combat power.

In terms of developing capabilities, they are probably far inferior to me.

In this era of rampant wildcard applications, improving combat power is very simple.

You can just buy a premium wildcard by spending real money.

However, it is extremely difficult to possess versatile abilities such as "Frost Break" and "Dark Erosion".

These abilities are usually granted only by Soul Cards.

It is a rare skill that is hard to buy even if you have money.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Yue's eyes gleamed with confidence.

Therefore, although he had fewer companion soul cards than Zhang Ziyang, the quality of his soul cards was not necessarily inferior to Zhang Ziyang's.

The contrast of tomorrow.

The outcome remains to be seen!

"Next, we'll move on to practical training."

After finishing her thoughts, Huangfu Yue walked to the corner in front of the puppet parameter setting panel and quickly selected parameters with her slender fingers.

Exercise subject selection: Black-scaled Horned Lizard.

Strength selection: Tier 1, 2 stars.

【Setting completed】

[Please read the "Security Agreement and Precautions" carefully before signing.]

Wait for the 10-second countdown to finish.

Huangfu Yue simply checked the box to sign, without even glancing at the agreement.

This is similar to those malicious agreements that pop up when registering a software account.

Most of the regulations are disclaimers that shirk responsibility, and the details cannot withstand scrutiny.

It's best not to watch it to avoid getting upset.

[Signature complete, begin deploying the mechanical puppets]

【Please prepare for battle】

[Countdown begins, ten, nine, eight, seven...]

The inner walls slowly opened following the voice announcement.

Waiting for the countdown to end.

A grotesque beast with a ferocious appearance immediately crawled out of the shadows.

That was a giant lizard, half a meter tall at the shoulder, nearly two meters long including its tail, and weighing several hundred kilograms!

It has a pair of long, sharp spiral horns on its forehead, like short spears.

It also has a short, thick, triangular horn on its nose.

Its entire head, along with most of its torso, was covered in dark scales.

When the light shone on it, it immediately shimmered with a vibrant white light.

Like a sturdy, thick, black, one-piece suit of armor.

With short, thick limbs and a snow-white belly that almost touches the ground, it's difficult for an opponent to slide in and break through the abdomen.

Its enormous body resembles a rhinoceros more than a monitor lizard.

This is the black-scaled horned lizard.

Among low-level monsters, it is considered a very troublesome one.

Although it is not as fast as the Iron Wolf Beast and not as strong as the Rock Crusher, it has its own strengths!

That was a suit of extremely defensive, dark-colored scale armor.

The black-scaled lizard is already tough and thick-skinned, and with its sturdy heavy armor that can absorb impact, it is simply unstoppable when it runs and charges.

With its ramming horn, even monsters stronger than it dare not confront it head-on and can only avoid its sharp edge.

Huangfu Yue stood sideways, her cool and aloof brows like the morning frost.

He exuded a chilling aura that made people afraid to approach him.

"hiss--"

The puppet black-scaled horned lizard opened its mouth, extended its long tongue, and emitted a piercing, high-pitched hiss.

A pair of golden vertical pupils looked at the girl more than ten meters away.

Its massive head drooped slightly, its nostrils locked tightly on its target.

A powerful hind leg pawed at the ground, producing a series of dull, loud thuds.

The enormous, dark body moved as if a small car with its engine started was about to burst forward.

The scene was incredibly impactful just to look at!

Huangfu Yue's expression remained unchanged as she gently raised her delicate hand.

The next second, a Soul Card with seven shining golden dots appeared out of thin air.

At the same time, the ground suddenly began to tremble.

However, the puppet Inkscale Horned Lizard took off on all four legs and charged towards Huangfu Yue!

It roared and charged forward, its four steel-like claws stomping on the ground, creating short and intense drumbeats.

Huangfu Yue's silver eyes were indifferent, as if she knew nothing of fear.

"Come!"

The girl whispered something, her left hand already placed in front of her chest.

The golden soul card flew into his palm as summoned, instantly transforming into a large bow that was half the height of a person!

The bow is entirely ice-blue, as if it were crafted from ice crystals.

Its shape resembles a crescent moon hanging high in the night sky.

The outer edges at both the top and bottom are as sharp as knives.

It gleamed coldly under the lamplight, its appearance chilling to the bone.

A section is left in the center, and the handle is jet black.

Upon closer inspection, a very thin, deep black line runs from beginning to end.

This is Huangfu Yue's companion soul card - the Dark Moon Cold Bow!

The puppet ink-scaled horned lizard charged forward, its speed increasing with each passing moment.

In just a few breaths, he had already run ten meters in front of her.

A howling wind swept in, blowing the girl's striking silver hair that had attracted the attention of countless people.

With her hair flying in the wind, Huangfu Yue drew her bow and nocked an arrow, her slender fingers quickly plucking the icy blue bowstring, firing three shots in quick succession.

“Swish, swish, swish!!”

The next second, three frost-blue arrows radiating a chilling aura shot out like meteors.

The air was chilling wherever it went, and the floor was covered in frost.

The arrow struck the head and forelegs of the puppet Inkscale Horned Lizard with pinpoint accuracy, and then... it exploded with a deafening roar!

"Bang bang bang!"

Three continuous, rapid explosions erupted almost simultaneously.

The icy blue frost mist spread, quickly enveloping the enormous body of the puppet Inkscale Horned Lizard.

"Crench!"

"Crench!"

The sound of ice forming rang out.

The puppet black-scaled horned lizard let out a sharp cry and struggled to break free of the frosty mist.

Just as they were about to launch another attack, their vision suddenly disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, it lost its balance.

His entire body crashed heavily to the ground with a deafening thud!

The parts of it that were hit by the arrows were now covered with a thick layer of ice.

The mechanical puppet beast that had just been so aggressive was now kneeling on its forelegs with its head bowed.

Using the momentum from his charge, his massive body slid close to the ground towards Huangfu Yue.

That was a beautiful sliding knee, a model worthy of being recorded in the history of theatrical performance!
