After noticing Elder Qing Yun's gaze, Bai Chen seemed to have sensed it in his heart. He slowly opened his eyes, and a cold aura that seemed to freeze his soul appeared from within. At this moment, after following Bai Chen's gaze, Elder Qing Yun felt as if the spirit energy in his body had frozen.

”It's so cold!” Waves of cold air rushed into Elder Qingyun's body. He subconsciously circulated the spiritual energy in his body. When the waves of cold air encountered the spiritual energy, they were easily dispersed by the spiritual energy.

Could it be that my cultivation has gotten stronger? This thought flashed through Elder Qing Yun's mind. He was astonished. Only now did he realize that it wasn't that his power had gotten stronger, but that the cold pond water had weakened.

”How is this possible? The cold energy of the cold pond was actually weakening. The cold pond had not changed for decades, so how could it change in such a short amount of time? ”Unless …” Elder Qing Yun seemed to have thought of something, and Bai Chen's soul-freezing eyes appeared in his mind. He seemed to see a gigantic ball of mist coiling around Bai Chen's body.

After the water in the cold pond had turned cold, the dozen or so beasts also noticed something. They rushed towards Bai Chen and Elder Qing Yun, roaring non-stop. However, their instinctive fear prevented them from entering the lake.

Transfiguration was the biggest difference between a human martial artist and a spirit beast. Those who did not know how to change would not be able to leap to the peak of the martial way.

”I just absorbed so much gelid qi, I wonder if my body can take it.” Bai Chen seemed to have just recovered from his shock. The Spiritual Sense swept over his body and his heart relaxed, only to feel a warm current rapidly flowing within his Dantian. With that warm current circulating through his body, his frozen body gradually thawed, and even the temperature of his body became warmer.

In just a short moment, Bai Chen had returned to normal. He let out a long breath as he smiled in relief.

”Bai Chen, it seems that you have gained a lot from the cold pond. Even the ten thousand year cold pond has been completely absorbed by you. You are truly mysterious.” At this moment, Elder Jinhua, who was being carried by Bai Chen, spoke up. Bai Chen's expression changed when he heard his words; there was an expression of hesitation on his face.

”Bai Chen, it's hard to say what kind of opportunity the Tian Yuan Continent would have. You've encountered it and obtained it, so this opportunity is yours. We martial artists should advance bravely and not fear everything.” Seeing the hesitant look on his disciple's face, how could Elder Jinhua not know what Bai Chen was thinking? Immediately, his mouth was filled with solemn instructions.

That's right! So what if I have the gelid qi of the Frost Jade Pool? All of these were absorbed by me, so this was my opportunity. Bai Chen pondered in his mind, his expression gradually becoming gentler. The tone of his voice was no longer as serious as it was before, ”Master, I understand. Let's go ashore now.”

After saying that, Bai Chen took a step forward with his body that could regain his mobility. Relying on his current peak high level Spirit Master body, he stepped forward and the two of them quickly passed through the cold pond. After he landed on the shore, he immediately put down Elder Jin Hua.

”Crap, the muscles on my hands have been injured. I wonder if the cold energy has invaded my flesh and blood?” A wave of suspicion arose in Bai Chen's mind. However, as he looked at Elder Jin Hua, who was fighting the spirit beasts, he felt that it was worth it.

”Roar! Roar!” After seeing Bai Chen and Elder Jin Hua disembarking, the dozen or so Spirit Beasts, who had been eyeing them covetously, immediately roared out loud. They leapt forward and pounced in the direction of Bai Chen and Elder Jin Hua.

Rip... Suddenly, the sound of flesh being torn could be heard. The dozen or so spirit beasts were wounded all over their bodies. The wounds penetrated deep into their bones, causing them to collapse on the ground, on the verge of death.

”Disciple, you can still act. Take out the crystal cores from these spirit beasts. These are all well-deserved rewards.” Elder Jin Hua, who was standing on the shore and looking extremely relaxed, looked at the students who were climbing over the cold pond and spoke to Bai Chen anxiously.

Bai Chen followed Elder Jin Hua's gaze, and discovered that when Ye Ling and all the other students tried to cross the cold pond, he was shocked, afraid that someone else would take his spoils.

In a short period of time, Bai Chen had already taken care of a dozen or so spirit beasts and seized their cores.

Holding the thirteen cores in his hand, he felt the rich spirit energy contained within. He was elated. With these cores, he would be able to rest in the academy for a few months in exchange for spirit stones for his cultivation.
