"Such astonishing amounts of cold energy, a normal person simply could not bear it. How did your sister suppress it for so many years?" As Lin Hai treated Wang Jingjing, he couldn't help but marvel out loud.

"The Ghost Master previously used Legendary Gang Qi to suppress the cold energy. Now that the Gang Qi has been stimulated, it caused my sister's disease to flare up prematurely!" Bai Gu finished speaking, his teeth clenched in rage against Wu Runfa, wishing he could kill the guy right then and there.

"Don't worry, I'll try my best to reduce the cold energy."

Lin Hai intended to use the devouring nature of his own Gang Qi to swallow the cold energy inside Wang Jingjing's body.

Although this might also be dangerous for him, Lin Hai was confident in his current strength, and believed that suppressing a part of the cold energy wouldn't be an issue.

Bit by bit, the cold energy was enveloped and devoured by Lin Hai's Gang Qi, then reabsorbed into his own body.

As time went on, Lin Hai felt his body temperature dropping.

"Sh*t, what exactly is the Immortal Ascension Plan, and where did this cold energy come from!" Even Lin Hai was starting to have difficulty bearing it.

Men are of Yang nature; Lin Hai feared that if he absorbed too much cold energy, it would cause infertility, and how could he then face Mrs. Ouyang and so many beautiful women.

He wanted to stop, but it was a critical moment. If he stopped now, the continuous cold energy in Wang Jingjing's body would erupt again.

What needed to be done was to absorb something like a "cold energy seed."

Suddenly, the Finger Bone Ring hanging around Lin Hai's neck began to react anew.

A faint warmth flowed into Lin Hai's body and, driven by the Gang Qi, it actively started to devour the cold energy in Wang Jingjing's body.

This wasn't some messy fantasy science fiction concoction.

It was more like a natural energy contact reaction, a very normal natural law.

For example, a cat always can't resist chasing a mouse... When energies of the same level and type encounter each other, they are naturally drawn to one another.

"Could it be that the cold energy inside Wang Jingjing's body and the fiery energy on the Bone Finger belong to the same level and are similar types of energy?"

Lin Hai's curiosity was piqued. The Finger Bone Ring held many secrets, and the Immortal Ascension Plan was a secret national research project promoted by some high level officials; surely the cold energy used was very rare. Could there be a connection between the two?

Before long, Lin Hai was shocked again; the fiery energy within the Finger Bone Ring actually devoured the energy and, as if the Finger Bone Ring itself couldn't store so much energy, a large part of it, almost all of it, poured into Lin Hai's body.

Instantly, Lin Hai felt a sensation of ice and fire mixing within him.

And the contrast between the ice and fire was particularly intense.

Lin Hai's whole body began to tremble, and below, under the intense stimulation, he unexpectedly became aroused.

"Damn it, this is truly a ***** ****!" Lin Hai lamented internally.

"Gang Qi has increased by another twenty percent!"

Lin Hai's once-depleted Gang Qi found new support and he continued to devour the cold energy seeds within Wang Jingjing's body.

Ten minutes later, Lin Hai's hair under the light flashed an eerie pale blue color, as if it was the color of ice.

Both Bai Gu and Song Zong had a flash of astonishment in their eyes.

Hu—

Lin Hai let out a long breath of cold air.

"It's done, your sister no longer needs to worry about cold energy erupting in the future."

Lin Hai had completely devoured the cold energy seed within Wang Jingjing's body, and his Gang Qi underwent a transformation, merging the characteristics of life and death with ice and fire, making the attacks of the Gang Qi even more powerful.

The properties of the Gang Qi here are not superpowers, but attributes of the Martial Path Internal Power.

Lin Hai is now sitting with his eyes closed, giving off the impression of being in deep contemplation.

Only, at this moment, his mind is pondering: "With the properties of Gang Qi having ice and fire traits, aside from attacking, it could be used in daily life, such as warming up the girls, or even reaching ninth layer heaven during the act without the need of ice blocks or such things... just the thought of it is quite thrilling, hehe."

Wang Jingjing slowly opened her eyes, her complexion returning to that of a normal person, and her breaths becoming steady.

"Brother, I'm okay now."

"Really?!" Bai Gu's eyes erupted with irrepressible joy.

Song Zong, however, was focused on Lin Hai, who he sensed had become even stronger.

"Song Zong, since you already know my secret, I'll give you two choices: death, or join the Star Plate," Lin Hai said indifferently.

Without a hint of hesitation, Song Zong chose not to die. As an assassin, he too sought a stronger path, and now that Lin Hai had revealed his might, Song Zong felt he might learn much more by staying.

"I wish to stay, my lord," spoke Song Zong.

Lin Hai nodded; having such a Super First-class Expert in Huadu would be helpful indeed.

"Go and try to get close to Wu Runfa. Tell them the mission failed, that a mysterious person intervened, and try to gather information on their connections," Lin Hai commanded.

Song Zong nodded. Acting like this was not difficult for him; every top-tier assassin possessed First-class acting skills.

"From now on, my life, Bai Gu's life, is yours," Bai Gu said after checking his sister's condition and verifying her recovery, gratefully looking at Lin Hai.

Lin Hai smiled, "Old Mr. Tao and Ghost Master are good friends, so of course, we younger ones are also friends. No need for such formalities."

Bai Gu fell silent; he was the kind of person who didn't speak much. He wanted to express his gratitude, but couldn't quite articulate it, so he decided to show it through his actions instead.

"The underground world organizations of Huadu are about to have a major gathering soon. All the big bosses from various sectors of Huadu will be there, and this might be an opportunity for you," Bai Gu said.

"Oh? Haha, this is like a grand feast," Lin Hai laughed, thinking that he could get acquainted with some of the organization's big bosses beforehand and see if he could form any alliances.

As for those who wouldn't cooperate and chose to be dogs, Lin Hai naturally wouldn't let them stay in this world.

"There is one more thing…" Bai Gu spoke again.

"Oh?"

"Actually, I know you're planning to talk to Dog King about a partnership. He is my subordinate!"

Lin Hai, upon hearing this, was taken aback, followed by an immense surge of elation.

Indeed, you find it without looking for it—it came so easily that he had just picked up a new brother, and now, a beauty threw herself into his arms.

He had been pondering how to persuade the Dog King, but now there was no need.

"I always wanted to have a share in Huadu's underworld, but Dog King was the only suitable candidate I could select, who is reputable in public but was secretly supported by me," Bai Gu revealed these secrets voluntarily.

"Now, both Dog King and I are your people, Lin Hai, promise me, keep the order in Huadu."

"Haha, don't worry. When I truly have the Huadu underworld in my hands, you'll find that your choice was right," Lin Hai couldn't be happier, as with this, he had nearly all of the top forces in Huadu in his grasp.
