After defeating Nalan Bo, the Ice Puppet stood still again. Huo Feng approached Nalan Bo's corpse and noticed the ring on his hand, quickly taking it off. "This is one of the only three Narcissistic Rings in Nottingham City. I can't believe I've actually obtained one."
Huo Feng felt delighted at the thought. He then extended a thread of mental energy into the Narcissistic Ring. Since the mark on the Narcissistic Ring disappears when its owner dies, Huo Feng easily accessed its contents.
As he searched carefully, he discovered three Combat Techniques from the Nalan Family: the movement technique Phantom Steps, and two attack techniques, Ghostly Shadow Palm and Phantom Fist. In addition to these three, there were many Beast Souls and a large number of Symbol Coins. Overjoyed, Huo Feng said to Ruo Xi: "There are also their movement techniques here! This is great; we can practice together when we return."
"No need. I feel like I should be stronger. I've realized that I can slowly recover on my own, although it's very slow and not all my memories are returning completely. But I believe in that feeling." After discovering this, Ruo Xi felt particularly happy.
"Alright then, since we've resolved the issues here, let's continue onward."
Huo Feng, along with Ice Puppet and Ruo Xi, stepped onto the central rising platform.
As the platform descended, they arrived in a pitch-black area where nothing could be seen. Ruo Xi prepared to take out the glowing orb she had earlier, but at that moment, the nearby Ice Puppet emitted a dazzling light like a sun, causing Huo Feng and the others to close their eyes.
Gradually, as the light seemed to weaken, Huo Feng tried to slowly open his eyes. Upon doing so, he found that there was still light around them, though it was no longer blinding and was occasionally emitted by the now-restored Ice Puppet.
However, as Huo Feng scanned the space, a look of shock appeared on his face while Ruo Xi seemed much calmer, merely looking around.
Huo Feng noticed that this space resembled a sealed room but lacked any visible source of light. In the center of this space stood a massive dark statue that looked exactly like the Ice Puppet, with nothing else around. The reason for Huo Feng's astonishment was that this space bore some resemblance to where he had received the Seven Star Inheritance.
After a moment of hesitation, Huo Feng suddenly called out into the void: "Senior Yohuo Mingjun, please show yourself and guide us."
Ruo Xi looked around and found no one there, casting a puzzled glance at Huo Feng. However, Huo Feng remained calm, gazing into the void. He believed that Senior Yohuo Mingjun must be hiding somewhere in a spiritual state, observing them.
"Ha ha ha... Young man, you are quite impressive. As long as you do not fall too early, you will surely achieve greatness in the future." This voice suddenly emanated from the statue.
As expected by Huo Feng, the voice came from the dark statue. Huo Feng addressed the statue, "Thank you for your praise, senior. It seems I will need your guidance on my extraordinary path." Although Huo Feng's words appeared to flatter Yohuo Mingjun, he was actually probing about the two major Combat Techniques. Ruo Xi stood quietly beside Huo Feng.
"Good fellow, your words are indeed pleasant to hear. Since you have such a fateful encounter here, I will not treat you unfairly. Let me first tell you about the Ice Puppet. I believe you may not be very familiar with it. The Ice Puppet possesses combat power at the Earth Vein Realm Level One, and its body can withstand a strike from an Earth Vein Realm Level Five opponent. However, if it exceeds this realm, there is a possibility that the Ice Puppet could shatter. Moreover, this Ice Puppet does not know any Combat Techniques, as I originally focused on fire-based Combat Techniques, so you must use it wisely. Additionally, I have left behind two major Combat Techniques that I created for you; I hope you can make them shine in your hands. But which of these Combat Techniques should I give to you?"
Two fire orbs appeared before Huo Feng and instantly shot towards their foreheads, manifesting in front of them. The statue spoke again: "These two are the training methods for 'Phantom Fire Clone.' You two can take your time to comprehend it. The other one, 'Nether Break,' is a powerful fist-based Combat Technique that is not suitable for girls, so I will pass that one on to this young man alone."
When the fire orbs entered their foreheads, Huo Feng felt a brief sting, and then a piece of information appeared in his mind.
"'Phantom Fire Clone,' as the name suggests, is a Combat Technique for creating fire clones. However, this Combat Technique requires collecting Beast Souls from fire-type magical beasts and then absorbing and refining them into fire seeds stored within your body. When needed, you can consume one to summon a clone; only one clone can be summoned at a time."
At this moment, the statue spoke again: "There is one more thing to tell you: the strength of the clone grows alongside your own development. Its power will be one level lower than yours and it will not know any Combat Techniques; however, it will be much more agile than the Ice Puppet. You will understand this later. Now I will pass 'Nether Break' on to you." Before Huo Feng could express his surprise, another piece of information appeared in his mind.
"'Nether Break': A growth-type Combat Technique that can produce impenetrable fist shadows when perfected. Each punch has substantial attack power and is formed by dark Origin Force piercing towards the target in a conical shape. It has great power capable of breaking through ordinary defensive Combat Techniques and can also penetrate strong defensive techniques."
Huo Feng looked at the statue in astonishment; this was incredibly powerful and sounded even more impressive than Huo Feng's 'Star Blade.' However, Huo Feng had not yet witnessed the latter's final two forms and could not appreciate its full strength.
"Are you surprised, fellow? When you become stronger than I am, you'll find this nothing remarkable."
Huo Feng felt deeply shocked but agreed with his words; it seemed he still needed to grow stronger. However, sensing something else, Huo Feng asked, "Senior, why did you choose this frigid land of magical beasts?"
After a long pause, the statue replied: "Sigh! At that time, after creating these two major Combat Techniques, many people witnessed their power and a group of nefarious individuals set their sights on me. Of course, they could not harm me; however, once I fell into their trap and was severely injured, I fled here. They pursued me relentlessly until I had no choice but to venture deep into the mountains. Unfortunately, I encountered the ruler of this mountain range at that time—the high-level magical beast Twin-Winged Fabled Dragon—and ended up fighting it to a standstill while heavily injured before escaping. Due to my worsening injuries, I knew my time was short; thus, I built this place here and created this Ice Puppet in my final moments. Oh right! My spiritual imprint on this statue is about to fade; let me give you another treasure of mine."
The statue then split open in the middle, revealing a thumb-sized transparent light orb suspended in mid-air.
"This is what I extracted from my Origin Force when I was about to die. You have absorbed it."
A transparent sphere of light flew towards Huo Feng's dantian and then drilled inside.
Huo Feng could feel that the transparent sphere was staying there, but it was not being absorbed. So he tried to forcefully absorb it, but it still didn't work. He asked in surprise, "Why can't I absorb it?"
"Don't you understand the principle of not forcing growth? Moreover, this is compressed Origin Force from the Ninth Level of Connection. If you directly absorb it all, wouldn't you explode and die? You will realize this later; during your cultivation, your speed will double, and this will automatically release Origin Force for you to absorb," the voice replied irritably.
"I see now. I was overwhelmed by this series of benefits. Indeed, power that increases in an instant is not truly yours, and you cannot fully utilize it; instead, it limits your potential," Huo Feng said calmly.
"Yes, you... are quite... good. I am about to dissipate; I wish you well. After you go out, seal this place as well. I think it's nice to quietly stay in such a place."
"Senior, thank you. I will definitely bring your glory back to every corner of this continent," Huo Feng said as he deeply bowed to the statue.
At this moment, the statue no longer responded, and Huo Feng knew that it had already departed. He bowed again, and Ruo Xi followed suit. The two then took Ice Puppet and returned along the original path.
When they arrived at the place where they had fallen earlier, Huo Feng noticed that the Azure Blue Flames had disappeared. As they walked here, they saw steps gradually forming from the ground into the air, floating there. Huo Feng and Ruo Xi stepped onto these steps and reached the ground.
As soon as they emerged, they noticed a figure standing there—it was Muxiu. After he had knocked down Nalan Bo, he thought everything here belonged to him. However, after searching for a while and finding nothing, his anger was about to explode. At this moment, he also spotted Huo Feng and noticed the humanoid ice sculpture following him; he seemed to guess something. He then laughed: "Hahaha... I never expected that my meticulous planning would actually benefit you! You didn't die from the fall; it seems you've gained something? Truly considerate of me, Muxiu, letting you get treasures to bring back to me. Hahaha..."
However, he suddenly realized something was off—why was Nalan Bo stronger than both of them yet absent? So he asked warily, "Where is Nalan Bo?"
Huo Feng sneered and replied, "Him? That waste was killed by me."
Muxiu was taken aback for a moment but then laughed again: "Hahaha... You two killed him? I think he just had bad luck falling to his death or triggered some trap."
"Think whatever you want; since you want to make a move against us, go ahead," Huo Feng said.
"Kid, do you still dare to be arrogant? Fine, I'll take care of you all and collect everything you have. I will be the biggest winner, hahaha." Muxiu became increasingly arrogant, excited at the thought of all the treasures coming into his hands. He charged towards Huo Feng and the others.
Huo Feng looked at Muxiu charging towards them as if he were an idiot. He and Ruo Xi stood there motionless, with Ruo Xi also sneering at Muxiu.
When Muxiu realized something was wrong, he noticed that the ice sculpture beside Huo Feng had disappeared. He suddenly felt a chill behind him and quickly turned to defend himself.
The outcome was inevitable; after dozens of exchanges, Muxiu followed in Nalan Bo's footsteps. He did not possess Nalan Bo's agility or combat techniques.
At this moment, Huo Feng generously took Muxiu's Narcissistic Ring. After inspecting it, he found that aside from a large number of Symbol Coins and some Beast Souls, Muxiu had nothing else. His expression turned somewhat gloomy as he said, "These bastards are so stingy, only bringing this much."
Ruo Xi smiled charmingly and said, "You look just like a bandit right now, hahaha..."
Huo Feng looked at Ruo Xi with an evil grin and said, "Yeah, how did you know I'm a bandit? Besides, this bandit prefers to rob beautiful women." He then lunged towards Ruo Xi with outstretched claws.
Ruo Xi quickly dodged and shouted, "Help! The bandit is coming!"
However, she was laughing uncontrollably while trying to evade.
