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

Once a card master reaches the first rank, their strength will undergo a dramatic transformation.

The new abilities gained from Soul Cards are not mentioned.

The surge in mental power alone is enough to support the card master in using several wild cards, greatly increasing the intensity of firepower.

Unlike in the preparatory stage, when mental strength is insufficient.

The Soul Card couldn't be used for long before its spiritual energy was depleted, and it gave up halfway through.

Zhang Ziyang was thrilled to have made another breakthrough.

He was fascinated by the feeling of constantly getting stronger and improving, and felt a great sense of security.

Although I really wanted to test the new abilities of the Soul Card right now, it was already late at night.

Aunt Zhao and Huangfu Yue had probably already gone to sleep.

It wouldn't be good to go to the basement and make any noise that might disturb someone's sleep.

"There's a card master arena in the city. After my medical check-up at the hospital tomorrow, I can go and try my skills there."

Zhang Ziyang made up his mind, suppressed his joy, got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face, then returned to his room, pulled the covers over his head and fell asleep.

At this point, he had completely absorbed all the crystal cores.

……

The room inside, opposite Zhang Ziyang.

At this moment, Huangfu Yue was not asleep.

After returning to her room halfway through the meal, she lay on the bed, hugging a polar bear plush toy and staring blankly for a long time.

That's it again.

That man was never there for her during any of the important moments in her life.

It's always been like this, from childhood to adulthood.

She understood his helplessness, but she could never truly let go of it.

The white-haired girl lay on her side on the bed, tightly hugging the teddy bear in her arms, her silver eyes staring blankly out the window.

Strange, I should have been used to disappointment by now.

Why am I still angry now?

Is it because she is too weak and still harbors expectations?

"drop!"

A sharp car horn suddenly sounded from outside the window.

Huangfu Yue suddenly let go of the teddy bear, and without even putting on slippers, rushed to the windowsill with her bare, snow-white feet to look down.

A black sedan was parked in front of the house.

The two beams of light emanating from the front of the car cleaved through the darkness like sharp swords, startling a white cat that darted in front of the car, causing its fur to stand on end and its back to stand tall.

"Meow!"

The white cat shrieked at the enormous metal-shelled monster in front of it, turned around, leaped into the roadside green belt, and disappeared.

The driver rolled down the window and cursed, then started the vehicle and drove into the darkness ahead.

The girl watched the car drive away, and the silver eyes that had just begun to light up dimmed again.

She should have thought of it earlier.

That man is probably still working overtime at the bureau and won't be back today.

Huangfu Yue closed her eyes, then opened them a moment later, her expression returning to its usual indifference.

Now is not the time to think about this.

As the prophesied daughter and her master's disciple, she bears responsibilities that are unimaginable to ordinary people, and she is destined to carry even more in the future!

So now there's only one thing she needs to do.

That is to continuously become stronger before the "great disaster" arrives.

Until that day comes, when we have enough power to break and shatter it!

Thinking of this, the white-haired girl closed the window, walked to the desk, and opened the pure black briefcase.

There are only three things in it.

A white USB flash drive with a label on its surface that reads "Advanced Meditation Method".

A wristband-shaped, cream-blue release device, with an instruction manual underneath.

A small bag filled with crystal cores, a total of 30.

They are all second-order crystal cores, half of which are ice-attribute and half are dark-attribute.

These were the things Bai Wumai gave her, serving as cultivation resources before she officially entered the school.

Huangfu Yue first picked up the frost-blue release device, then quickly glanced at the instruction manual underneath.

This release device, named Feixue, is a product specially developed for her by an internal team at Jinghua University.

It has multiple functions such as storage space, release shield, injecting mental energy to release ice spike attacks, and communication.

Once the biometric information is entered and bound, it can be integrated into the body and freely summoned by mental will.

The internal storage space already contains the matching card holder.

There are five external cards in the card box, enough for her to use in the early stages.

Huangfu Yue picked up Feixue, bound it according to the instructions, and then attached it to her left wrist.

"Ding!"

The release device was activated and immediately emitted an icy blue light.

A few seconds later, the light disappeared, and Huangfu Yue immediately covered her left hand with an ice-blue arm armor.

The arm armor is extremely exquisite, as if cast from ice crystals, with a beautiful pattern of flying dragons engraved on its surface.

There is a conspicuous black mark on the inside, which is the slot for inserting the external card.

Flying Snow may look flimsy, but it is actually extremely sturdy and can withstand ordinary attacks without being destroyed.

With a flick of her left hand, Huangfu Yue immediately stored the bag filled with crystal cores into her storage space.

With a thought, the flying snow disappeared, as if it had vanished into the flesh and bones.

Huangfu Yue smiled slightly, extremely satisfied with the release device, and then picked up the USB flash drive and inserted it into the laptop on the desk.

After disconnecting from the internet, I opened the file and found a PDF file inside.

Click again, and the file loads and opens after a few seconds.

This is a scanned image of a document that is at least 100 pages long.

The first page clearly states...

Advanced meditation technique with dual ice and dark attributes: "Nine Netherworld Extreme Freezing God Killing Cold Qi".

Huangfu Yue's brows furrowed; this was exactly what she wanted most right now!

After the Soul Card is awakened, the basic meditation method is no longer up to par with the current version.

She needs an advanced meditation method that matches her own soul card attributes to improve her cultivation efficiency.

Huangfu Yue gripped the mouse and immediately began browsing.

This technique, "Nine Netherworld Extreme Freezing God Killing Cold Qi," was created a hundred years ago by an unparalleled genius.

His Soul Card also has both Ice and Dark attributes, but its quality is only red.

But with his extraordinary talent, he managed to squeeze into the ranks of top experts.

As he approached the end of his life, he ventured alone into the Nine Netherworld Rift, known as one of the ten most dangerous places in the Xia Kingdom, and returned severely wounded after killing ten demonic beasts of the same level.

He created this book, "The Frozen God of the Nine Netherworlds Kills with Cold Qi," by combining his life experiences.

After enjoying wine and conversation with his old friends under the peach blossoms, he suddenly passed away.

This meditation method is extremely mysterious and consists of nine levels.

Each level has its own set of sophisticated combat techniques.

Once mastered, the power of the spirit can be spread out and freeze and annihilate all things, making it extremely terrifying!

However, this meditation method is too aggressive and can easily harm one's body and mind if one is not careful.

Only those with great perseverance and exceptional talent can achieve perfection.

Most people will switch to a different meditation method after reaching the fifth or sixth level of cultivation, using it only as a transitional practice.

Therefore, this top-level dual-attribute meditation method was rated as advanced.

But Huangfu Yue was confident that she could cultivate to perfection!

She glanced at it briefly, then closed the document.

The first level of "Nine Netherworld Extreme Freezing God's Killing Cold Qi" requires one to reach the first rank of Card Master to cultivate.

Huangfu Yue sat cross-legged and summoned Feixue, who took out a bag full of crystal cores.

Given her crystal core absorption efficiency, she should be able to break through to the first tier by tomorrow at the latest.

Then, you will be able to begin practicing this profound meditation method.

The girl closed her eyes, holding a second-tier crystal core in each hand, and concentrated intently on her cultivation.

She liked this feeling of letting go of everything, which allowed her to temporarily escape from all her troubles.

Forget the responsibilities on your shoulders;

Forget the father who is always away from home;

Forget about tomorrow's comparisons...

……

Silent all night.

The next morning, as dawn broke, the haze on the horizon gradually faded.

The sun slowly rose above the horizon, its golden rays flowing through the air like mercury.

The soft golden morning light shone through the window and fell on Huangfu Yue, whose eyes were closed.

It added a soft golden glow to that stunningly beautiful, aloof face.

The girl opened her eyes and slowly exhaled a puff of white air.

After meditating all night, even with her physical condition, she felt somewhat tired, but her silver eyes were still full of energy.

Her current cultivation level is the peak of the ninth star of the preparatory stage!

"It's a pity. If my body hadn't been unable to keep up and I had to take frequent breaks, I would have already reached the first level."

Huangfu Yue put away the two second-tier crystal cores that had been mostly absorbed from her palm and stood up.

Stretching my limbs to face the rising sun outside the window, revealing a beautiful curve that no one else can appreciate, I feel exceptionally relaxed.

But soon a discordant voice in my mind shattered this pleasant mood.

[Countdown ends]

[First comparison begins!]
