Chapter 452: Chapter 451 Wu Bingji Evolution
When his hammer fell, targeting not Huang Bingbing, she refrained from activating the Ice Sealed Throne. Otherwise, he certainly would have been declared the winner due to her use of the Ice Sealed Throne, but the situation would not be as it was now. It was possible that he could have been silenced.
In that battle, Tang San had given his all. The suppression from the Field of Fortune and Misfortune played a crucial role, paired with the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique, catching Huang Bingbing off guard. The Time-space marker he released slowed down Huang Bingbing, a delay comparable to that of a divine tool, which even with Huang Bingbing\'s Cultivation base, she couldn\'t fully counter.
Why wasn\'t Tang San affected? He was affected, but he managed to accelerate himself with his Time Variation Seal, so it only appeared as though he wasn\'t, along with the transportation provided by the Peacock Transformation.
In the final blow with the Big Xumi Hammer, he truly invoked a trace of divine consciousness. This was a display of extreme Power from his past life.
However, now without his Hao Tian Hammer from his previous life, he could only emulate a trace of its characteristics using his divine consciousness, barely managing to execute the move with the Earth Shattering Hammer.
The Power was immense, but as a result of overexertion, Tang San suffered recoil damage due to his body\'s inability to withstand the force.
The whole process was extremely complex, but he managed to narrowly defeat his opponent and achieve the outcome he most desired.
If Huang Bingbing had indeed decided to use the Ice Sealed Throne to silence him, Tang San would not have been able to win with his current strength, but he could have escaped with Wu Bingji by fully activating his divine consciousness. If it had come to that, both parties would have become mortal enemies, and the Ice Maiden Clan would have ceased to be worth cooperating with.
As it turned out, Huang Bingbing was rational and chose the best outcome.
Meanwhile, Huang Bingbing led Wu Bingji into the forest.
Without immediately releasing the Ice Sealed Throne, she stopped, turned around, and looked at Wu Bingji.
Wu Bingji, somewhat bewildered, stopped and looked at her, slightly uneasy. After all, she was the patriarch of her mother\'s Race!
Huang Bingbing took a deep breath, "How old are you this year?"
Wu Bingji said, "I didn\'t know how old I was when my teacher found me. According to that time, I\'m about twenty now."
"Twenty years old? From twenty years ago?" She narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.
Suddenly realizing something, Wu Bingji exclaimed, "No, please don\'t. I... "
Huang Bingbing waved her hand and said, "Even if I find out who it is, I won\'t harm them. What they did may not necessarily be wrong. Perhaps, it could also be a way out for our Race in the future. Rest assured. Once the clan has made a decision, I will come to find you. If I can locate your mother, then I will take her to see you."
The expression on Wu Bingji\'s face became complex, but she nodded gently nonetheless.
Huang Bingbing continued, "You have inherited our Race\'s bloodline power, though it\'s not pure and mixed with Human bloodline. But the fact that you have cultivated to your current state is a tremendous achievement already. It goes without saying, your Humans\' rate of Cultivation is not slow. Although you are not a member of the Ice Maiden Clan, I hope that in the future, no matter what happens, you would be willing to lend a hand when our Race needs help."
Wu Bingji looked at her in surprise, knowing well that the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan had always looked down upon Humans, considering them Slaves or at most vassals. But she quickly understood that Huang Bingbing\'s change in attitude was related to her previous defeat by Tang San. Tang San had earned the clan leader\'s recognition through his strength.
"Definitely," he said without hesitation, nodding his head.
Huang Bingbing\'s body lit up with an icy blue glow, and a dazzlingly huge Ice Throne suddenly appeared behind her.
Instantly, the temperature of the surrounding air plummeted, everything became cold, and ice crystals even began to float up from the surface of the plants.
"Kneel before it. This can also be considered a divine tool left by your ancestors," Huang Bingbing stepped aside to clear the front.
Wu Bingji hesitated slightly, but still kneeled as instructed.
The Ice Maiden Clan was different to him than the other Monster Clans. Almost all of his companions had Humans as mothers, but his mother was from the Ice Maiden Clan, which meant that the Ice Maiden Clan had not harmed his relatives. Although he did not know who his father was, it was very likely that the Ice Maiden Clan had genuine feelings for Humans. There was no reason for them to be with Humans otherwise. He carried half of the Ice Maiden Clan\'s bloodline in his veins, so it was not wrong to say they were his maternal ancestors.
He respectfully kowtowed three times. Wu Bingji stood back up and looked towards Huang Bingbing.
Huang Bingbing\'s eyes showed a hint of complexity, but she waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, take a seat."
Wu Bingji paused, his breathing suddenly becoming a little rapid. Taking a deep breath to steady his emotions, he then moved towards the Ice Sealed Throne.
The closer he got to the throne, the more pronounced that strange sense of intimacy became. It was as if the ice element was calling out to him, guiding him forward.
Finally, he arrived in front of the throne and slowly sat down.
When he actually seated himself on the Ice Sealed Throne, the extreme cold he felt earlier disappeared. Coolness flowed into him from his limbs, making him feel as though he was immersed in an ice spring.
His mind became instantly clear, and a halo of icy blue light radiated from his body. Subconsciously closing his eyes, he savored the bliss of being soaked in the ice element.
Huang Bingbing kept watching his transformation. When she saw ice-flower-like patterns starting to emerge on the surface of Wu Bingji\'s skin, her eyes showed a trace of astonishment. The Ice Maiden Clan bloodline within this Human was incredibly pure and was perfectly fused with his Human bloodline. There was no sign of rejection, which was confirmed by the Ice Sealed Throne\'s acceptance of him.
Perhaps, what that Asura had said was accurate—the Ice Maiden Clan\'s bloodline was indeed very close to that of Humans. If the progeny of the Ice Maiden Clan and Humans could have such a degree of bloodline purity, then although it was slightly inferior to the Ice Maiden Clan\'s self-division and divine consciousness birth, it was not much different. After a refinement of the bloodline, it could essentially continue the Race\'s legacy.
Wu Bingji felt his own bloodline undergoing strange changes, as if something inside of him had been activated, causing his body to freeze. Yet, during this freezing process, it was as if something was also melting.
In his spiritual perception, he seemed to see a woman of breathtaking beauty sitting on the throne, surrounded by intertwined shadows as if recording her life.
A series of bizarre feelings followed, as if invisibly he had learned something, especially the perception and affinity for the ice element.
The sense of cold gradually faded away because he had become the cold.
When dawn was breaking, Wu Bingji returned.
Tang San ended his meditation and opened his eyes to look at him. It seemed that the eldest brother before him had changed.
Compared to before, Wu Bingji now had an ethereal quality about him, each movement seemed to carry an unusual change. The patterns of ice flowers on his forehead were faintly visible, slowly fading away but still leaving traces.
"How do you feel?" Tang San asked with a smile.
Wu Bingji replied, "It seems I\'ve become more like the ice element. My understanding of the ice element has deepened a lot. My bloodline seems to have undergone some changes as well."
