61: Chapter 61 Ye Qingxue's Superpower Evolves to S-Rank!

Early morning.

Following the map's guidance, Lin Yuan decided to enter the underground parking lot of Xingyao Plaza.

After Qin Ziyan learned the news, she led the army and followed them.

"You guys are going in too?"

Lin Yuan looked at Qin Ziyan, his gaze calm.

Qin Ziyan nodded. "The military's mission is to collect seven-colored snowflakes and demon cores. Since there's a lead, we must go."

She paused and said seriously:

"However, we won't compete with you. Whoever kills the Evolved Beast gets the loot."

Lin Yuan gave a faint smile. "I hope you can make it out alive."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked toward the entrance of the underground parking lot.

...

The underground parking lot.

As soon as they entered, the temperature plummeted!

It was much colder than the world of ice and snow outside!

"So... so cold..."

Chu Yanran shivered, tightly wrapping her thick cotton coat around herself.

The soldiers of the army also began to tremble; even wearing protective suits couldn't withstand this kind of cold.

But Lin Yuan and the other two remained unfazed, as if they couldn't feel the cold at all.

Qin Ziyan watched this scene in shock, waves of astonishment rising in her heart.

These three... just what kind of constitutions do they have?!

The parking lot was filled with frozen corpses and vehicles that looked like ice sculptures.

A place that was once filled with luxury cars had now become a frozen graveyard.

Lin Yuan led the group deeper into the parking lot and suddenly stopped.

"Careful, something's here."

His voice had just fallen.

"Hiss—"

A terrifying hiss came from the depths of the parking lot!

The next second.

A massive python slithered out from the darkness!

It was a Frost Giant Python!

It was a full twenty meters long, its entire body covered in crystal-clear ice scales!

Every single scale radiated a frigid aura.

It felt as if it could freeze everything!

The python's eyes flickered like sapphires, filled with cruelty and killing intent!

"This... this is..."

Qin Ziyan's expression changed drastically as she hurriedly checked the observation instrument in her hand.

"Based on the observation level and official data, this can only be a C-rank demonic beast... we can't beat it..."

Her voice was trembling.

A C-rank demonic beast!

This was the strongest Evolved Beast the army had encountered to date!

The soldiers retreated one after another, their faces pale.

They knew that a demonic beast of this level was simply not something they could handle!

Lin Yuan heard their conversation.

He immediately understood.

If this level was a C-rank demonic beast, then he roughly understood the grading system...

It was just like in novels, divided into SSS, SS, S, A, B...

At that moment, Lin Yuan spoke indifferently: "All of you, step back."

He raised his hands toward the Frost Giant Python.

Rumble—!!!

Countless thick vines burst frantically from the ground, instantly coiling around the python!

"Hiss—!!!"

The python let out an angry hiss and opened its mouth to spit out a terrifying frost breath!

"Whoosh—"

The freezing cold air swept through like a storm, freezing some of the vines into ice sculptures!

But even more vines followed in succession, tightly binding the python's body!

Ye Qingxue's gaze turned cold as she raised her hand toward the python.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh—

Countless black Shadow Blades shot out from all directions, slashing fiercely at the python's ice scales!

Crack crack—

The scales were cut open by the shadows, and green blood gushed out!

The python counterattacked frantically, its massive tail sweeping across and smashing the surrounding vehicles to pieces!

Ye Qingxue reacted quickly.

The shadows beneath her feet surged up, transforming into a massive Shadow Shield!

Boom—

The python's tail slammed into the shield, producing a deafening sound!

But the shield firmly blocked the attack!

Lin Yuan seized the opportunity, vines emerging from the ground to tightly bind the python and restrict its movements!

Ye Qingyue and Chu Yanran helped from the perimeter, coordinating well.

Although their strength wasn't as great as Lin Yuan's or Ye Qingxue's, they were still able to distract the python.

The fierce battle lasted for half an hour.

Ye Qingxue's Spiritual Power was mostly depleted, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

But her gaze remained firm, and her shadow attacks didn't stop for a moment!

Lin Yuan finally caught an opening, vines bursting from the ground and piercing through the python's head like blades!

"Hiss—"

The python let out its final scream, its massive body crashing to the ground, completely devoid of life.

The soldiers were left dumbfounded.

Qin Ziyan said in shock, "This... this is their strength..."

She finally understood why this man had rejected the military's invitation.

Because he didn't need them at all!

...

Lin Yuan walked to the python's corpse and reached into the ice to pull out a snowflake radiating seven-colored light.

A seven-colored snowflake!

Excitement flashed in his eyes; this was the first time he had found a seven-colored snowflake inside an Evolved Beast!

Next, he extracted a fist-sized, dazzling c-rank demonic core from the python's head!

The demon core radiated an icy blue light, containing terrifying energy!

The soldiers stared fervently at the snowflake and the demon core.

Lin Yuan's cold gaze interrupted their stares.

"These are mine."

Lin Yuan's voice was calm but carried an unquestionable authority.

Qin Ziyan bit her lip and did not step forward.

Lin Yuan was the one who killed it; even as a soldier, she couldn't steal someone else's loot.

Ye Qingyue looked at the snowflake longingly.

She knew this item could awaken a Superpower.

But she hadn't contributed much effort and didn't deserve this precious item.

Lin Yuan looked at the seven-colored snowflake and the c-rank demonic core in his hand, then suddenly turned to look at Ye Qingxue.

He thought for a moment and decided to give them to Ye Qingxue.

He wanted to see what changes would occur if she, having been modified by the system, consumed a c-rank demonic core.

"Qingxue, come here."

Lin Yuan said calmly.

Ye Qingxue walked up to him, her gaze puzzled.

Lin Yuan handed her the seven-colored snowflake and the c-rank demonic core:

"For you."

Ye Qingxue's eyes widened in shock, and they instantly shimmered with tears:

"You... you're really giving them to me?"

Her voice was trembling.

This was a seven-colored snowflake and a c-rank demonic core!

Supreme treasures that could allow a Superpower to advance!

Lin Yuan was actually going to give them to her?

"Yes."

Lin Yuan nodded. "Your Superpower still has room to advance. These are most suitable for you."

The tears in Ye Qingxue's eyes could no longer be held back and slid down her cheeks.

She took the seven-colored snowflake and the demon core, her voice choking up:

"Thank you... thank you..."

Lin Yuan gave a faint smile. "What's our relationship? No need for thanks."

Ye Qingxue took a deep breath, suppressing her inner excitement.

She placed the seven-colored snowflake and the c-rank demonic core together.

Instantly!

The seven-colored snowflake began to melt, turning into streams of seven-colored energy.

The demon core radiated an icy blue light, and the ice crystal patterns on its surface writhed frantically.

The two energies intertwined and merged in the air, slowly condensing.

After a dozen seconds, a fist-sized crystalline sphere of light appeared!

The sphere radiated a light that was a mix of seven colors and icy blue, as beautiful as a dreamlike gemstone!

It was even cooler! Even more beautiful!

Ye Qingxue reached out to touch the sphere of light.

Instantly—

Boom—!!!

Terrifying black energy erupted from within her!

"Ah—"

Ye Qingxue knelt down in pain, her entire body enveloped in black energy!

The entire underground parking lot was swallowed by darkness, as if an abyss had descended!

All light was consumed, leaving only endless darkness!

"Qingxue!"

Ye Qingyue cried out in alarm, wanting to rush over.

But Lin Yuan stopped her. "Don't go over there."

Ye Qingxue knelt on the ground as the energy inside her surged frantically!

She could feel her body being reshaped, every cell undergoing a metamorphosis!

Pain!

A heart-wrenching pain!

But she gritted her teeth and endured, not letting out a single scream!

Lin Yuan and Ye Qingyue stood guard nervously by her side, fending off Evolved Beasts attracted by the energy.

The soldiers retreated in terror, and Qin Ziyan said in shock:

"This kind of energy fluctuation... it's too terrifying..."

She had never seen such a terrifying Superpower awakening!

This energy... it felt as if it were about to destroy everything!

Ten minutes later.

The darkness finally began to dissipate.

Ye Qingxue slowly stood up, her temperament having undergone an earth-shaking change!

Her eyes were as deep as a bottomless abyss, as if they could swallow all light!

She radiated a terrifying killing intent that made people afraid to look directly at her!

[Ding! Ye Qingxue's Superpower has successfully advanced!]

[S-rank: Abyss of Death!]

[Constitution: 280!]

[Spiritual Power has reached 750!]

Ye Qingxue felt the surging power within her, her eyes full of shock and gratitude.

An S-rank Superpower!

Her Superpower had actually advanced to S-rank!

This kind of power... was simply beyond imagination!

She walked toward Lin Yuan and said affectionately:

"This kindness... I will spend my whole life repaying you..."

Lin Yuan also snapped back from the system's notification.

This was the first time he had seen an S-rank Superpower.

This was a rank far beyond his own...

He didn't know just how terrifying its power truly was.

Lin Yuan didn't know if giving this to Ye Qingxue was a good or bad thing...

Thinking this, Lin Yuan gave a faint smile. "No need to repay me. You are my woman, of course I want to make you stronger."

Tears fell from Ye Qingxue's eyes again, but this time, they were tears of happiness.

The soldiers were completely shocked.

Qin Ziyan's gaze was complicated.

To be able to win the heart of such a terrifying woman like Ye Qingxue, Lin Yuan's identity made her curious:

"Just what is this guy's background..."
