Before the valley.
The Ice Empress looked at Lin Mo's back, her gaze somewhat conflicted.
He actually possessed an ability like that?
Signing contracts and copying abilities.
If he signed a contract, could he copy her and the Snow Empress's ultimate techniques too?
For him, still in the midst of growing stronger, that would undoubtedly be an enormous boost.
Yet Lin Mo had never mentioned it to them.
Aside from soul sacrifice, was he deliberately avoiding the subject of "signing contracts" as well?
Naturally, Lin Mo heard Zi Ling quietly "telling on him" behind his back.
Although he was controlling his clone, he could actually manage two threads of control at once, with neither side interfering with the other.
By now, his clone had nearly reached the end of the valley and had more or less figured out the trial's clues.
The entire tunnel was five hundred meters long and led straight to the other side of the mountain.
Reaching the far side counted as clearing the trial.
The Ice Puppets along the way were roughly on the level of ten-thousand-year soul beasts.
A terrifying Phoenix Ice Sculpture also lay dormant deep within the valley, its exact strength unknown.
He estimated it could unleash the strength of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, though it likely had certain restrictions.
The Phoenix Ice Sculpture was currently asleep and had yet to truly activate.
Was that all?
Lin Mo already had a rough idea.
His clone at the end of the passage used Burrowing Technique to sink underground, then swiftly doubled back to the valley.
The clone stepped through the valley's barrier and appeared before Lin Mo.
The Ice Empress and Zi Ling, who had still been discussing him, both froze.
Zi Ling: It actually came back?
Ice Empress: He can burrow underground too?
