Bo Haidong suddenly felt an invisible guiding force, as if he could hear the rhythm of ice echoing in his heart. Shui Wuya continued to impart the secrets of the Laws of Ice to him, allowing Bo Haidong to grasp the profound essence of ice attribute combat techniques.
"The power of ice can not only form ice blades but also neutralize your enemy's attacks."
Shui Wuya's voice echoed clearly in Bo Haidong's mind, "You must learn to use the power of ice to dissolve your opponent's strikes and then counterattack through their weaknesses."
Bo Haidong listened intently, feeling as though he had merged into a world of ice. The surrounding air crystallized into clear, sparkling ice, and his body seemed to fuse with this frozen domain.
Under Shui Wuyia's guidance, Bo Haidong suddenly seemed to touch upon some mysterious revelation, and a powerful force surged within him.
"So this is the true meaning of the power of ice!" Bo Haidong was filled with shock and joy, sensing a significant boost in his strength.
His ice attribute combat skills were no longer limited to surface techniques. He had truly understood the essence of the Laws of Ice.
"Now, use the ice power you've comprehended to defeat your enemies."
Shui Wuya's voice was distant yet commanding, filled with an awe-inspiring strength. "Show your true strength and let your enemies witness the majesty of ice!"
Bo Haidong's aura suddenly became powerful and fierce. The chilling essence of ice spread around him like a giant frost beast awakening, menacing and majestic.
A flash of surprise and wariness crossed Medusa's face. She couldn't believe what she was seeing as she stared at Bo Haidong. A sense of unease welled up within her.
"You brat…" Medusa's voice trembled slightly as she struggled to comprehend the intense, cold aura emanating from him. "How did you do this?"
Shui Wuyia, possessing Xiao Yan's body, smiled faintly, his gaze calm and confident.
"The Laws of Ice are more than just techniques; they contain deeper mysteries."
His voice was steady and strong. "Once you grasp its essence, you can unlock its true power."
Although Xiao Yixian and Yao Lao also sensed Bo Haidong's transformation, they weren't overly shocked.
After all, they had already experienced the power of this mysterious senior.
"Well then, let's see what true strength you've gained!" A challenging glint flashed in Medusa's eyes as she stepped forward fearlessly. "I want to see what kind of skill you have that dares to challenge me!"
"That's exactly what I intend to show you!"
Bo Haidong stood tall like an ice sculpture, his eyes gleaming with a cold, blue light, as deep and sharp as a frozen lake.
This time, Bo Haidong was no longer helpless against Medusa's attacks.
He steadied himself, and the ice blades he formed in his hands fell like a rain of ice, each strike carrying the profound power of the Laws of Ice he had just grasped.
After Shui Wuya's guidance, Bo Haidong had touched upon a deeper understanding of the Laws of Ice. This elevated his ice attribute techniques, conjuring hundreds of ice blades that filled the sky, freezing the battlefield with a chilling aura.
Medusa's face paled in disbelief as she looked upon the scene.
She never imagined that a single piece of advice could transform Bo Haidong, her former defeated opponent, into someone capable of barely holding his own against her.
"How is this possible?"
Medusa's voice trembled with a hint of fear as she looked toward Xiao Yan, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Who is this boy really?"
"What are you?" Medusa's voice quivered with unease. "How could you help him become so strong?"
Shui Wuya, still possessing Xiao Yan, smiled faintly, his gaze deep and mysterious.
"The events of the world are governed by cause and effect."
His voice was calm yet mysterious. "All I've done is follow the flow and guide things along."
Bo Haidong's heart surged with excitement. For the first time in his life, he was able to fight Medusa on equal footing, and the thrill of it set his soul ablaze. In this heated battle, he felt his growth and breakthrough, and his gratitude toward Shui Wuya deepened.
"Hahaha!" Bo Haidong let out a triumphant laugh, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Finally, I can go head-to-head with you, Medusa!"
Inwardly, his appreciation for Shui Wuya grew even more. Not only had Shui Wuya lifted the serpent seal that had bound him, but he had also elevated Bo Haidong's combat abilities. At this moment, Bo Haidong realized that serving such a powerful and mysterious figure wasn't such a bad thing after all. This senior had unfathomable abilities, and from all indications, he was at least at the level of a Douzun.
To have the chance to align himself with such a powerful figure—he considered it a stroke of luck.
Meanwhile, Medusa's frustration only grew. Restrained by the Qinglian Heart Flame, she was unable to unleash her full power, while Bo Haidong clung to her like a tenacious leech, fueling her annoyance and rage.
"Damn it!" Medusa gritted her teeth, her brows furrowed as anger flared within her. "How dare this wretched man defy me!"
Just as she voiced her frustration, she made a slight mistake and was grazed by one of Bo Haidong's attacks.
In that moment, Medusa felt a wave of disbelief and fury wash over her. Her expression turned dark as her eyes burned with rage.
Sensing the looming danger, Medusa realized her situation was growing increasingly dire, and she was on the verge of losing control. The backlash from the Qinglian Heart Flame had reached its peak, and if this continued, she might very well be consumed by the flames.
The mere thought of this filled her with dread. As the situation worsened, her anxiety heightened.
"Damn it!" Medusa snarled through gritted teeth, her eyes flickering with both anger and fear. "This cursed Qinglian Heart Flame is my nightmare."
She turned her gaze toward Xiao Yan, who was possessed by Shui Wuyia, her expression hardening with both determination and desperation.
"Brat, I accept your offer!" Medusa's voice carried a threatening edge. "I'll give you the Qinglian Heart Flame, but you must uphold your end of the deal."
"Help me break through to Douzun! If you dare go back on your word, I will make sure you wish for death over life!"
Her voice was cold and haughty, carrying a commanding air that brooked no argument. At that moment, she had already made up her mind: even if it meant making a deal with this brat, she would first save herself from this predicament.
After all, deals could always be renegotiated or even broken later.
Once her strength was restored, how she would torment this boy was entirely up to her.
Medusa had expected Shui Wuya to agree to her terms without hesitation.
But to her astonishment, Xiao Yan—still under Shui Wuya's possession—shook his head.
"No."
