Chapter 188: Ice Soul Palm
Panthers Martial Arts School.
The owner's practice room.
In the center of the house, there is a pottery stove.
The red crystal burning in the furnace is actually the expensive Fire Demon Stone!
As a fuel, the Fire Demon Stone can provide high temperatures comparable to those of a steel furnace for a long time!
The crucible set up above the pottery furnace is melting bronze.
Steam was rising from the crucible, and the bronze had melted into liquid.
The entire training room, most areas, were as hot as a steamer.
Alan sat opposite the pottery stove, his face calm and without any sign of sweat on his body.
He placed his hands flat on his knees and silently activated his magic power.
A hint of coolness flowed around the body and finally into the hands.
The palms, filled with the magical power of extreme cold, made the skin and flesh become crystal clear, like ice and jade.
A trace of chill radiates outward through the fingertips.
The temperature around Alan dropped sharply, as if it were an ice cave.
The heat waves from the crucible and the cold air from Alan's hands blended in the air, forming a white mist.
In the training room, a strange sight of ice and fire quietly appeared.
Alan stood up and walked to the pottery stove.
A pair of hands as transparent as ice crystals stretched out.
Insert it into the crucible calmly and firmly.
The molten copper made a hissing sound when it touched Alan's fingers.
Smoke rises.
In a blink of an eye, the molten copper in the crucible solidified when it cooled and turned into a large piece of bronze.
Alan pulled his palms out from the copper block.
The palms were still as crystal clear as jade, and chillingly cold.
Smooth and delicate skin, without any signs of burns.
Alan dissipated his magic.
Looking at his hands, which quickly regained their warmth and redness, he nodded gently, with a faint smile in his eyes.
The day after killing Akuma, he injected the "Ice Soul Palm Awakening Agent" seized from him.
I have successfully awakened this fifth-level ice-type martial art. I have been practicing it for more than a month and have finally gained some understanding of it.
By infusing both hands with the power of icy palm, copper water can be frozen in an instant.
Alan extinguished the fire, opened the system page, and checked the test data of "Ice Soul Palm".
To activate this martial art, at least 12 points of magic power are required to temporarily provide ice enchantment for natural weapons such as fists and feet.
During this period, the limbs blessed with ice spirit power are equivalent to level 3 enchanted weapons.
When hitting the enemy, in addition to the normal attack power, additional frost damage is added!
In addition, Ice Soul Palm has two special effects.
First, it can be used to put out fires and counter fire-related martial arts or magic that does not exceed level 5.
Secondly, if the enemy hit by the Ice Soul Palm has no resistance to cold and is not strong enough, he will be frozen by the cold air in an instant and temporarily lose the ability to move.
Therefore, the Ice Soul Palm can not only kill the enemy directly, but also derive more abundant control tactics.
For example, on a flooded battlefield, you can slap the ground with your palm and the water under your feet will immediately turn into smooth ice, restricting the enemy's movements.
Suddenly, a quarrel was heard outside the training room.
Alan frowned slightly, but didn't intend to interfere .
In places like martial arts schools, competition is very fierce.
Among Allen's disciples, there are many brave and fierce ones.
It is very common for them to exchange martial arts skills, have disputes, or even fights.
It's just a minor fight, no big deal.
If the noise gets too serious, Kelly, Angie and Renee will take action to discipline those rookies who don't know how to behave properly.
As the owner of the museum, Alan doesn't need to personally show up and waste his energy on these trivial matters.
However, the quarrel outside the window became more and more intense.
The conflict seems to be out of control.
This is the first time such a big commotion has occurred since the martial arts school opened.
When Alan was wondering, a communication ball of light appeared in front of him.
The secret mark showed that it was sent by sister Kelly.
Alan held the ball of light and read the information.
My sister's annoyed voice came into my mind.
"Reni's ex-boyfriend Phoebus is here to challenge us!"
"If you don't show up, our maid will be snatched away!"
Phoebus...?
Alan scratched his head.
It took me a while to remember that Renee seemed to have such a fiancé.
To be precise, it was her former son-in-law, a "golden phoenix" who flew out of the slums.
This person seems to be quite talented, but unfortunately he has a bad character.
He pursued Renee with the intention of climbing up the social ladder, treating that silly girl as a "cash machine".
Later, he entered North Island College and sought better opportunities. He kicked out Renee, who had lost her usefulness, and cut off all contact with her.
It must be that this guy got what he deserved for his evil deeds. His new girlfriend fell into the arms of another man, making him a cuckold.
Phoebus was unsuccessful in love and was not doing well at North Island College. He thought of the silly girl Renee and decided to go back to her.
Renee is really unlucky in marriage. It's bad enough that she has such an ungrateful ex-boyfriend, but she also has such a weird grandfather.
In order to cultivate Phoebus, an outsider, he actually exploited his own granddaughter and asked Renee to give the place for secret realm training to Phoebus.
Alan couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up for Renee and wrote a letter to her grandfather, breaking off all ties with this weird family.
He had a premonition at that time that Renee's troubles would not be so easy to solve.
I thought Renee's grandfather would come out in person and ask for her.
If this is true, then it can be said that the master has a good reputation.
Unexpectedly, before Renee's family came forward, that ungrateful Phoebus came and caused trouble.
Alan couldn't help but wonder, does this guy really have no shame at all?
Perhaps the word "shame" does not exist in his dictionary at all.
Shaking his head helplessly, Alan pushed open the window.
Through the window, I looked out towards the courtyard where the quarrel was coming from.
A red-haired young man was confronting everyone in the martial arts hall.
In the courtyard, two disciples who tried to stop Phoebus from breaking in were knocked to the ground by him.
The rest of the disciples were also furious.
If Kelly and Angie hadn't restrained them, they would have rushed up and beaten up the uninvited guests.
The red-haired young man stepped over the injured martial arts disciple who fell to the ground with a look of disdain on his face.
"I heard that your master is a disciple of the Silver Moon Monastery?"
"Haha! If he really had the ability, he wouldn't have taught you bunch of idiots!"
"It seems that he is probably a liar who deceives the world and steals his reputation!"
"My fiancée was naive and simple, and didn't know much about the world. She fell for the liar's trick and thought he was very capable!"
"Poor Renee, she was deceived by your owner and signed a so-called indenture. It's really too much!"
"I might as well be frank. Your shameless tricks won't work in front of me!"
"What a bullshit indenture. I won't acknowledge it. It's just a piece of waste paper!"
"If you know what's best for you, hand over Renee right away!"
"If I don't see her today, believe it or not, I will tear down your den of thieves!"
Phoebus's arrogance was unbearable, not to mention the hot-tempered Kelly, even the good girl Anqi couldn't stand it, and sneered and retorted:
"You are such an ungrateful bastard who cheats people for money and sex. You even have the nerve to accuse others of cheating. Sister Renee is so unlucky to have met a scum like you!"
"Um?!"
Phoebus turned his head sharply and glared at Angie.
Kelly's pretty face was frosty. She blocked her junior sister behind her and confronted Phoebus without showing any weakness.
At this critical moment, Renee pushed open the kitchen door and hurried into the yard.
"Phoebus! Stop messing around here!"
Phoebus turned around and forced a smile on his face.
The sweet words that were about to come to my lips were suddenly choked.
Renee was wearing a maid outfit, a bow-tied headscarf, and under her short apron were a pair of slender legs wrapped in snow-white stockings.
This look, paired with her big breasts and plump buttocks, makes her look particularly seductive.
Phoebus had never seen her dressed like this!
In fact, Renee was not a person who liked to wear makeup and dress up, and she looked not very delicate.
This was also one of the reasons Phoebus used to excuse himself when he later found a new love.
Unexpectedly, after just two years of not seeing her, Renee seemed to have been reborn, becoming more radiant and charming!
What’s even more infuriating is that all these changes happened after he abandoned Renee!
Phoebus originally expected to see a love-broken and haggard Renee, so as to highlight his irreplaceable position in Renee's heart.
The reality is just the opposite.
After leaving him, Renee became more sexy, charming, generous and confident.
The transformation from an ugly duckling to a white swan had nothing to do with him, but was obviously nurtured by other men.
It was not difficult for Phoebus to imagine that when Renee appeared in front of her new boyfriend wearing this maid uniform, something unsightly would happen!
If Renee was forced to dress up as a lowly maid, it meant that she had been completely trained by the man and had completely lost her will to resist.
If she dressed like this on her own initiative, it would be even more unbearable, she would be a slutty bitch!
The more Phoebus thought about it, the angrier he became, and his face became terribly gloomy.
His imagination was only slightly different from the truth.
The maid outfit that Renee was wearing was actually the uniform skirt of the waitresses at the Panthers Tavern.
She, Kelly and Angie all ordered the same uniforms and occasionally helped out at the pub run by Alan's mother.
Back at the martial arts gym, Kelly and Angie changed back into their uniforms and taught their disciples martial arts.
Renee was preparing afternoon tea for Alan in the kitchen and was too lazy to change her clothes.
Anyway, it is quite appropriate to serve the master in a maid outfit. Besides, Alan praised her for looking very sexy in the uniform and he couldn't help but want to touch her white silk thighs.
Women dress up to please themselves, and Renee enjoyed Alan's appreciation and caress.
As for Phoebus, she had already packed it up and thrown it into the trash can of her memory.
Renee ran into the courtyard, panting.
Her face flushed and her magnificent breasts heaved.
"Phoebus! Our relationship has ended long ago, don't make trouble here--"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Phoebus's roar.
"Bitch!"
"Look at what you're wearing. You're so shameless!"
"Take off your apron right now and come home with me!"
"Go home?" Leni opened her doe-like eyes wide and asked blankly, "This is my home. Where else can I go back to?"
"What? Have you forgotten your family?" Phoebus was full of indignation. "You forgot your grandfather's expectations?"
"The Cochise family doesn't care about mediocre people like me. It doesn't matter if there's one more or one less."
A hint of loneliness appeared in Renee's eyes.
"As for my grandfather, he is more looking forward to the progress of a genius like you than to me."
"You are only twenty years old, and your cultivation has reached the late third stage. Ten of me combined cannot match your talent."
"The Cochise family only needs you. As for me, I have sold myself to the Panthers family. I am just a maid beside Master Allen. You don't need to worry about my affairs."
"Leni! How can you be so lowly as to lower yourself like this?!"
Phoebus was heartbroken.
"How can the eldest daughter of the Cochise family be a slave to a nobody? You disappoint me so much!"
"'Letting you down' doesn't matter to me."
Renee shrugged and said calmly:
"Anyway, you've already broken off the engagement with me. Let's end it once and for all."
"I'm living a good life. There's no need to care about a stranger's opinion!"
"you……"
Phoebus gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and put on a sincere face.
"Leni! Forget about the breaking-up letter! It was just a mistake I made in the heat of the moment!"
"I have deeply repented, please forgive me!"
Seeing how distressed he was, Renee sighed and said calmly:
"Phoebus, you really don't have to do this."
"You are talented and promising. You can definitely find a better spouse than me who can provide greater help to your career."
"If you need my forgiveness, I can give it to you."
"But I hope you can realize that... the reason I forgive you is not because I can't forget the old love, but because I really don't care."
"Phoebus, I don't love you anymore, and I'm very happy now."
"Because I don't lack love, I can forgive you calmly."
"Because we are no longer in love, I can't possibly get back together with you."
"As for whether you can let it go?"
"I'm sorry, but I don't care."
The mental impact caused by Renee's calm words to Phoebus was ten thousand times greater than crying and cursing.
Phoebus could see that this woman really had no interest in him anymore.
Before today, he had always had strong confidence in his relationship with Renee.
He feels that the initiative is always in his hands and he can pick up the woman he kicked away at any time.
Because it comes so easily, we don’t cherish it.
However, it was not until this moment that he realized that he had lost her irretrievably.
The relationship ended with Renee dumping him, leaving him a complete loser.
When Renee was devoted to him, he didn't love her, and his emotions were all performed just to get money from her pocket.
Now that Renee had dumped him calmly and resolutely, he was so angry that he almost collapsed, as if he had ever loved her.
What really dealt him a fatal blow was not the breakup itself, but the awakening of Renee, which caused him to lose the power to dominate a woman.
After all, it is this kind of power that he is obsessed with.
Not Renee or anyone else in particular.
Phoebus, the blood rushed to his head.
He trembled with jealousy and rage.
"Bitch! Don't even think about betraying me—"
Phoebus swung his arm and slapped Renee!
Bang!
A big hand suddenly came across and grabbed his wrist.
The irresistible force threw Phoebus high into the air and threw him out.
Bang!
Phoebus fell out of the door like a kite with a broken string.
“Alan!”
Renee, Kelly, and Angie cheered in unison.
"Are you all so free?"
Alan waved at the girls unhappily.
"Do what you need to do!"
“Be careful!”
Renee's eyes widened and she exclaimed anxiously.
The gate of the martial arts hall suddenly exploded.
A giant red dragon, five meters tall, roared and rushed in!
Alan turned around, narrowed his eyes, and looked the red dragon up and down.
"Red dragon bloodline... third-order atavism? Interesting."
The red dragon, the incarnation of Phoebus, had already pounced within ten steps, opened its huge mouth, and spewed out a flaming dragon breath!
Alan was in the raging fire, but his expression remained calm.
The magic ring worn on the hand can resist all fire attacks not higher than the fifth level.
The dragon breath of the atavistic Phoebus is only at the third level.
"Just use your fire to test my ice."
Alan raised his right hand slowly.
Magic power quickly gathered in his palm and transformed into a chilling cold air.
The crystal-clear palm, as cold as ice and jade, pushed forward.
The raging flames that rushed towards him were instantly extinguished by the Bingpo Palm Power.
Hound pace!
Alan rushed forward, raised one hand horizontally, and pushed back the dragon's breath.
The figure flashed and approached the red dragon.
Under the astonished gaze of the atavistic Phoebus...
He slapped out lightly with his palm.
Ice Soul Burial!!
Bang!
A hand as crystal clear and flawless as jade slapped the red dragon's chest.
The impact force that exploded instantly blasted the red dragon away!
The red dragon flew over the courtyard gate and fell out of the gate again.
puff!!
The moment he landed, Phoebus spat out a large mouthful of scarlet ice chips.
The cold air that invaded his body froze him stiff, and he could no longer revert to his original form and transform back into a human.
Phoebus supported himself on the ground with his numb limbs and sat up with difficulty.
He tried to stand up, but his frozen legs refused to obey him and he fell back heavily, spitting out a large amount of icy blood.
Two figures walked through the gate one after another.
Renee, dressed in a maid dress, followed closely behind Alan.
Phoebus had never seen such a little bird-like look.
"You...you are very strong..."
Phoebus stared at Allen, his eyes full of resentment and anger.
"I admit that I'm not as good as you now, but that doesn't prove that you will always be better than me..."
"If I had the same favorable conditions as you...born into a wealthy family...trained as a warlock since childhood, with ample training resources, I would definitely be stronger than you!"
"Excellent conditions, a wealthy family background, training since childhood, and ample cultivation resources..."
Alan sneered and shook his head slightly.
"I'm sorry, I haven't said anything like you before."
"But now I have them all, and you still have nothing."
"You have had opportunities to change your destiny, more than once."
"You messed up a good hand, who can you blame?"
"It is understandable that the Phoenix men who come from the bottom of society would lick the boots of rich women in order to survive and try their best to climb up the social ladder."
"But you are fickle and don't even know how to live off others. That's your own problem."
Having said that, Allen was already losing interest and turned to ask Renee, "What are you going to do with this person?"
If it were another woman, whether out of revenge against the unfaithful man or to prove to her new love that she no longer has feelings for him, she would most likely choose to kill him!
Renee also understood these principles, but there was still a hint of pity in her eyes.
"A silly girl is a silly girl. No matter how much she suffers, she will never learn to be smart!"
Although Alan was sarcastic, he was not surprised by Renee's choice.
It can even be said that what attracted him most about this woman was precisely the "silly , sweet" saintly temperament that he despised the most!
Just like an angel-like, pure and kind girl, she should theoretically draw a clear line between herself and the gangsters, but she is deeply attracted to the bad boy without saying a word.
Human emotions are so elusive.
Sighing secretly, Alan turned to face Phoebus and said coldly:
"For Renee's sake, I'll spare your life!"
"Remember to leave the storage bag and compensate for my front door!"
"roll!!"
…
April 1st.
Alan came to the Silver Moon Secret Realm with his three female companions.
Kelly and Angie, wearing the uniforms of female disciples of Silver Moon Monastery.
In Allen's opinion, the style is very similar to the cheongsam in his previous life, highlighting the exquisite figures of his elder sister and junior sister.
The slit of the skirt is quite high, and you can vaguely see the beautiful legs wrapped in stockings when she walks.
Renee still insisted on wearing her maid outfit, with a copper watch in her apron pocket.
This was a small gift from Master Shiva to her, thanking her for her meticulous care.
The pocket watch does not have any special enchantment effects, but it is very finely crafted.
There is also a small dial on the big dial, showing different times.
The large dial corresponds to the real time outside the secret realm.
The small dial operates according to the rhythm of the secret realm.
One day in the secret realm is equivalent to six hours in the outside world.
The reason why Renee wears this watch is to make it easier for her to run between places.
Every morning, she gets up early to make breakfast for Alan, Kelly and Angie.
After the family of four had breakfast, Leni had to leave the secret realm and go to the White Tiger Pavilion to help the silver-haired loli get up, dress and comb her hair.
Prepare breakfast for Master Shiva, clean the room, then return to the secret realm to practice on your own.
After dinner, Leni went back to the White Tiger Pavilion to give Master Shiva a bath and rub her back, help her to sleep, wash her clothes, and then return to the Silver Moon Secret Realm.
After serving the hostess, theoretically there is still the host to serve.
However, Kelly and Angie both rushed to do the laundry and cooking for Alan.
Renee felt a bit lost as she was "left out"...
Fortunately, the job of washing Alan's feet and warming his bed has not yet been taken away by the two competitors.
It's not that this job is technically difficult, but because it is too ambiguous, Alan is embarrassed to accept the close service of his sister and junior sister.
As a maid, it is perfectly legitimate for Renee to do these things.
In fact, Renee herself realized this.
So she ignored other people's strange looks and insisted on wearing the maid uniform and following Alan.
Others may think that she is self-deprecating and spineless.
Renee knew it herself. The maid outfit emphasized her status as a servant, but it also implicitly declared her sovereignty.
There are some things that sisters, junior sisters and even girlfriends are too embarrassed to do, but only maids can face them calmly.
When she took the initiative to assume the duties of a maid, she was actually bound to the obligations that her master must fulfill.
For example, Alan cannot refuse the service she provides, even if it is a bit excessive, otherwise he would not be like a master.
If someone gives Allen some unpleasant but honest advice, Allen may not be able to accept it due to his face.
Renee said whatever she wanted to say, without any scruples.
Because she is a "naive" maid, like a jester or clown beside the king.
It is only natural that the master should listen to her advice, which is an open-minded act.
If you don't listen to her and get angry, you will be laughed at and lose face.
A true gentleman will inevitably be controlled by small characters such as jesters, clowns, maids, and housekeepers.
If you refuse to submit, haggle with your servants, and are mean and ungrateful, then you are not like a gentleman!
As long as Renee is willing, she can act coquettishly and flatter her master anytime and anywhere, kissing, rubbing and licking him to seek favor.
Apart from her, there is no other woman in the world who can be so unscrupulously close to Allen.
This is a special treatment that both Kelly and Angie are jealous of!
No matter how annoying Alan was, he couldn't bring himself to argue with her.
At most I'd scold her and give her a kick on her big butt to tell her to stop messing around and go away.
In Renee's opinion, this level of punishment is equivalent to pampering.
Renee enjoys her relationship with Alan.
Sometimes, she couldn't help but feel complacent and smug, thinking that she was the "mistress" of Junior Brother Allen!
The bow on her head seemed to have turned into the horns of a little devil.
