Fortress

Seeing Mu Nujiao forcibly concealing her true feelings, Tang Miao had a sudden impulse to give her a promise... but when he thought of Tang Yue, the impulse subsided.

If Mu Nujiao knew he already had a girlfriend, she'd probably Wind Disk him to pieces just for what he did today!

Of course... in his heart, whether she was a canary, a wife, or a mistress, they all carried the same weight. Verbal promises always felt somewhat hypocritical. So, until Mu Nujiao got up to leave, Tang Miao didn't say another word.

Zhao Manyan, who was standing to the side, was a little bored. After Mu Nujiao left, he came over and gossiped, "Tang Miao, what are you really thinking? Do you like Mu Nujiao or Mu Ningxue?"

Tang Miao paused for a moment, then looked at Zhao Manyan and said, "Compared to them, I still prefer you!"

Zhao Manyan was taken aback. Without saying a word, he jumped up, took a few steps back, and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't! Why are you scaring me?"

Seeing that Tang Miao didn't respond, Zhao Manyan didn't bother her any longer. He then sat down by the fire and said, "I'll rest for the first half of the night, and I'll take over for the second half. You can rest then."

Looking at Zhao Manyan, who was half-lying there resting, Tang Miao thought to herself, "Why choose between two options? As long as you have strength and power, why not just have both?"

After muttering something to himself, Tang Miao began his meditation.

With his mental strength, he would react immediately if there were any danger. There was no need for him to stare blankly for so long.

After treating Mu Ningxue, Tang Miao suddenly noticed something. It seemed that after acquiring a Demon Element, his magic energy recovery speed had doubled!

The Ice Element magic energy that had been completely depleted has now recovered by nearly half. Moreover, the wound on his arm that had just been bitten has begun to heal on its own.

Tang Miao was incredibly grateful to Lu Nian for delivering the goods!

When it was time for the shift change in the middle of the night, Zhao Manyan woke up on time and took over the shift. Tang Miao didn't stand on ceremony and went straight into the church.

Zhao Manyan was taken aback... then said, "I said, those two girls were resting inside, what were you doing going in?"

Tang Miao was taken aback, then said, "We're all dressed, what's there to be afraid of? It's Leng Qing outside, how can we get a proper rest?"

Zhao Manyan his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to refute it. Watching Tang Miao about to enter the church, he finally said, "Then why didn't you say that when I was resting just now?"

"I thought you preferred the outside world. Okay, I'll remind you next time."

After saying that, Tang Miao walked directly into the church and closed the dilapidated door behind him.

Although I was very annoyed, it seemed that Tang Miao's words didn't make much of a difference...

After entering, Tang Miao didn't try to take advantage of the situation. He found a corner and began to rest.

When I treated Mu Ningxue before, I released my domain for so long. It's very safe here; any strange or unusual creature that exists here has absolutely no chance of survival.

So, with a place like this to rest, why would he want to stay outside?

Nothing was said that night...

The next morning, Tang Miao was still half asleep when Mu Nujiao woke her up.

He was certain there was no danger approaching, and looked at Mu Nujiao with some confusion. Before he could ask, Mu Nujiao said anxiously, "Tang Miao, quickly look at Mu Ningxue, she... she's frozen!"

After hearing Mu Nujiao's words, Tang Miao, who was still drowsy, instantly woke up. He then got up and walked with Mu Nujiao to Mu Ningxue's side, only to find that a thick layer of ice had formed on Mu Ningxue's full, delicate body.

Upon seeing this, Tang Miao hurriedly released his domain power.

After the domain was released, the Ice Element on Mu Ningxue's body began to fade, and at the same time, all of this power was poured into Tang Miao's body.

This sudden turn of events made Tang Miao stop immediately.

This was, after all, the first time he had encountered something like this... Before he was certain that the Ice Element wouldn't harm him, he naturally wouldn't absorb too much.

I can't risk my life to save a beautiful woman!

After Tang Miao's domain dissipated, the wind surrounding her finally calmed down. Mu Nujiao standing nearby, immediately asked, "Are you alright, Tang Miao?"

She had just witnessed it too—the ice on Mu Ningxue's body had actually entered Tang Miao's body! She was extremely worried for a moment...

After assessing her own condition and confirming that the Ice Element dissipated immediately upon entering her body without causing any harm, Tang Miao said, "I'm fine. Jiaojiao, you can go outside first. I think it's because I didn't help her clear away the icy energy yesterday."

Mu Nujiao hesitated for a moment, then asked with some doubt, "Are you really alright?"

Tang Miao smiled slightly and said, "Although she is quite beautiful, do you think I'm the kind of person who would risk my life to save her just because she's pretty?"

Mu Nujiao thought about it and agreed, then got up and left the church.

Tang Miao his treatment, and this time he showed no intention of resisting the Ice Element power he absorbed.

As this Ice Element energy flowed into his body, he could clearly feel his own power mixed in with it.

At the same time, Tang Miao discovered that the Kirin Jade inside his body was also vibrating.

Before Tang Miao could even wonder, he felt the Kirin Jade suddenly release an enormous amount of energy mixed with the absorbed Ice Element.

As that energy appeared, Tang Miao also saw the illusory shadow of the White Tiger... He then realized that the Kirin Jade must contain a certain amount of energy given by the White Tiger.

The sudden tremor was probably due to the power of the White Tiger, and the fact that the power of these two domains could help Tang Miao break through to a higher realm.

Then, just as he expected, this energy surged fiercely into Tang Miao's mental world!

After getting a general understanding, Tang Miao immediately focused on sitting cross-legged on the ground. He naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to break through the barriers around the impact nebula.

The cultivation barriers surrounding the nebula are too thick and too high. Only by giving the entire nebula and its 49 Star Seeds a stronger stimulus can they break through the nebula's barriers in one go and roam in a wider world!

Because of his five elemental attributes, his mental endurance and soul are stronger than other mages, and he can withstand twice as much energy impact.

This is a golden opportunity, and once it's gone, it won't come again. The gap between Intermediate Level and advanced levels is extremely difficult to bridge. If you don't cherish this opportunity now, who knows when the next chance will come!

PS: The original novel also mentioned that Mu Ningxue's bow is very powerful, but she hasn't collected all the fragments yet, so its power cannot be fully unleashed.

However, with the help of some, and mixed with the protagonist's domain power, plus the gift from the Tianshan White Tiger, this is the breakthrough point for breaking through to the high level of the Ice Element.

The main purpose is to give the protagonist and Mu Ningxue a chance to interact; without some treatment in the future, how can they maintain their connection?

Some of you little brats might say the leveling up is too fast... Whatever!

Nonsense, the protagonist will have many elemental types, and I don't plan to awaken any forbidden spells at the very end. After adding the Demon Element in the Intermediate Level, future awakenings will involve three elements.

At higher levels, we can consider your suggestion to make the entire Flame Ji Fire Element. Originally, we were planning an assassin build, but let's go for it this time...

Don't ask Mo Fan what to do. If you ask... hehe... what's it to me?
