64: Chapter 64 The Frost Dragon Cloak! The Wrath of the Ice Dragon!

[Ding! Party formation successful! Members: Zhao Qingyue (Lv141), Su Chen (Lv45)!]

Su Chen looked at the system notification, a smile curling on his lips. Adhering to the principle of never passing up a bargain, he immediately confirmed joining the party. "Pleasure working with you. You've got to cover for me, Big Boss."

Zhao Qingyue didn't waste words. She directly operated the party panel, locked it to 'Even Split Mode', and said flatly, "Distribution mode is locked and cannot be changed for one day. Don't worry, I won't shortchange you."

After speaking, she scanned the party panel, her pupils shrinking slightly as she confirmed again, "You really are only at Second Awakening? To steal a domain and reduce attributes at Second Awakening... your methods are certainly peculiar."

"Just good luck, my talent is a bit special, that's all," Su Chen laughed, brushing it off.

Right then, the Frost Giant Dragon was thoroughly Enraged. Its massive head snapped toward Su Chen, and it opened its giant maw, breathing out a dragon breath of bone-chilling frost directly at him. Simultaneously, it swung its dragon claws, initiating a relentless pursuit mode, clearly marking Su Chen as a thorn in its side.

"Watch out!" Zhao Qingyue barked. Her body instantly activated [Shadow Dash], transforming into a black blur that blocked Su Chen. With a swing of the short blade in her hand, she drew a black barrier, forcefully blocking the dragon breath and the claw attack.

[Ding! Zhao Qingyue used [Shadow Dash] to parry, reducing damage by 80%. Health deducted: 120,000 points!]

"As long as I'm here, it won't hurt you." Zhao Qingyue's voice was cold. Her aura surged as her long blade slashed out a sharp sword qi, forcing the Frost Giant Dragon back, fully displaying the dominance of an Eighth Awakening powerhouse.

Su Chen felt a warmth in his heart and immediately entered the zone. "Thanks, Big Boss. Leave the interference to me!"

His figure flickered as he activated Divine Stealth to hide. During the gaps while the dragon was locked in combat with Zhao Qingyue, he appeared frequently to activate Hand of Heaven Stealing to pilfer skills, immediately vanishing again after succeeding to give the dragon no chance to lock onto him.

"Puny thief! Come out!" The Frost Giant Dragon was so unsettled by Su Chen's harassment that its offensive became a mess. Its originally violent attacks turned chaotic; its mental state had completely collapsed.

Su Chen followed the strategy of "harassing the enemy when they are tired," appearing time and again to steal. Even if he occasionally failed, he successfully drained the dragon's stamina and patience.

Meanwhile, Zhao Qingyue seized the opportunity. Using the speed advantage gained after the domain was dispelled, she alternated attacks with her long and short swords. Every strike precisely hit the dragon's weak points, significantly increasing her damage output.

The Frost Giant Dragon's attributes had already been reduced by 20% by Royal Supremacy, it had lost its [Glacial Domain], and with Su Chen's repeated interference, its strength was greatly diminished.

In just one short hour, its health plummeted from 746 million to less than 100 million. The once-unrivaled overlord of the snowy mountains had fallen into a total rout.

"Roar—!"

The Frost Giant Dragon let out a shrill, mournful cry. Its massive body could no longer support itself. The colossal weight, with a wingspan of two hundred meters, crashed heavily onto the crystalline ground with a world-shaking thud. The entire dragon's nest shook violently as ice shards sprayed everywhere.

[Ding! The party has slain the Legendary BOSS: Frost Giant Dragon (Lv148)!]

[Ding! Su Chen has received 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) experience points!]

[Ding! Su Chen's current level is Lv45 (Peak Second Awakening). Experience has reached the limit. Overflowing experience has been stored in the Experience Pool. Please complete the Third Awakening breakthrough as soon as possible!]

Su Chen's eyes instantly lit up as he looked at the system notification. One billion experience points—it had filled his bar to overflowing. The Third Awakening was right before his eyes.

Just then, the system notification rang out again, and a golden light fell upon Su Chen.

[Ding! Hand of Heaven Stealing passive triggered (extremely low probability). Theft successful! Obtained skill: [Diamond Stars]!]

[Ding! Hand of Heaven Stealing passive triggered (extremely low probability). Theft successful! Obtained Legendary Special Equipment: [frost giant dragon cloak]!]

[Diamond Stars: Range 9,999 yards. Summons crystalline meteors to strike, dealing 999% damage with a 2-second hard-control Freeze effect. Cooldown: 1 hour.]

[frost giant dragon cloak (Legendary Special Equipment): Does not occupy an equipment slot. Strength +10,000, Agility +15,000. Includes skills: [Frost Clone], [Transposition].]

[Frost Clone: Summons a clone with 50% of your combat power. Can use Hand of Heaven Stealing. Duration: 10 seconds. Cooldown: 30 minutes.]

[Transposition: Swap positions with the clone. Cooldown: 15 minutes.]

Su Chen was ecstatic. This haul was pure profit!

With this cloak, he could achieve "double stealing" and "double skills." His tactical mobility would soar to a strategic level. In the future, stealing skills and harassing enemies would only get easier.

At this moment, the system notifications were still scrolling rapidly as a massive amount of loot surfaced.

[Ding! Obtained 888,888 Gold Coins!]

[Ding! Obtained Legendary Materials: Dragon Fang x10, Dragon Saliva x5, Frost Giant Dragon Essence Blood x3!]

[Ding! Obtained Legendary Equipment: Frost-Cold Dragon Chant Greatsword, Frost Giant Dragon Leather Armor, Ice Dragon's Rage Ring!]

[Ding! Obtained Special Material: frost giant dragon heart x1!]

Zhao Qingyue sheathed her weapons and said, "As agreed, we split the loot. You pick first, or I can divide it and give it to you."

"You go ahead and divide it, Big Boss. I trust you," Su Chen said.

Zhao Qingyue nodded and quickly distributed the items. "The Frost-Cold Dragon Chant Greatsword and Frost Giant Dragon Leather Armor go to me. We'll split the gold, Dragon Fangs, Dragon Saliva, and Essence Blood evenly. The frost giant dragon heart and Ice Dragon's Rage Ring go to you."

Su Chen took his share of the loot and inspected it.

The [frost giant dragon heart] was a divine item for pet advancement and bloodline regression; it was perfect for Xiao Zi.

The [Ice Dragon's Rage Ring] was a legendary accessory: Strength +8,000, Constitution +10,000, and it came with an ice damage bonus.

He calculated in his head that the combination of the Dragon Heart and the ring was actually slightly more valuable than the greatsword Zhao Qingyue took. He immediately grinned from ear to ear. "Thanks, Big Boss! You're too kind. I'm very satisfied with this distribution!"

"You earned it. Without your interference, I might not have been able to kill the dragon so quickly." Zhao Qingyue's tone was flat, showing no hint of dissatisfaction.

Su Chen stowed away all the loot and looked at his pet space. Xiao Zi was excitedly scratching at the space barrier, seemingly sensing the aura of the Dragon Heart.

He thought to himself: With this frost giant dragon heart, Xiao Zi will definitely undergo a major bloodline breakthrough. When that happens, her combat power will skyrocket again.

As for himself, his experience pool was overflowing, and he could undergo the Third Awakening at any time.

He now had three pieces of Legendary equipment—the [ring of time], the [Ice Dragon's Rage Ring], and the [frost giant dragon cloak]—plus the [flame of joy] in hand and the new skill [Diamond Stars]. On the eve of his Third Awakening, he had already completed an era-surpassing accumulation of wealth.

More importantly, he had successfully cooperated with an Eighth Awakening powerhouse like Zhao Qingyue and established a preliminary level of trust.

To him, this was more precious than any loot. With this connection, he undoubtedly had a powerful backer and ally for future social circles and resource wars at higher levels.
