Hou Ze clenched his teeth. His face was full of anger and discontent.

His handsome face was gone, now ugly and twisted.

He was the star among the disciples of the Mu Clan. He had earned himself a seat in the clan meeting after Awakening his Super Power. He had worked harder than anyone else. He had even fawned upon the leaders of the clan!

How did Mu Ningxue manage to acquire a Heaven Seed before me?!

If one was given the option to choose between a Super Power or a Heaven Seed, anyone would choose the Heaven Seed without any hesitation!

A Heaven Seed was from the outside world, a godly object that was incredibly difficult to find. It would significantly increase the strength of a Mage. Even if it did not have an Absolute Ward, its power could still overwhelm most of the Mage’s enemies!

A Super Power was only a Mage’s specialty, Awakened after cultivating diligently. Certain Super Powers might be incredibly powerful, but only a few managed to Awaken them.

An Ice Super Power against a Heaven Ice Seed… the odds of him winning were extremely low! Even so, Hou Ze was not going to surrender!

He finally understood why he had not stepped forward when the clan decided to cripple Mu Ningxue’s cultivation.

He was worried that she might overtake him one day!

“Ice Islet!” Hou Ze snarled.

A huge mountainous chunk of ice suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It was like a monstrous living thing had emerged from the abyss of the ocean.

A gargantuan wall of ice charged at Mu Ningxue at high speed. The bamboo trees were around fifty meters tall, but they were like weeds compared to the oncoming wave of ice. It even blocked the view of the mountain’s peak.

Hou Ze’s attack was a manifestation of his anger and jealousy!

The erupting ice crashed onto the ground. Mu Ningxue took a few steps back to avoid the debris that was flying at her.

She suddenly came to a stop. Crystalline frost spread from her wrist to her palm before rising into the air.

The frost instantly took the shape of a long blade. Mu Ningxue tossed the blade into the sky.

With a loud chime of power, the icy blade suddenly straightened and emitted an icy glow from its tip! It had combined with Mu Ningxue’s wrist and hand, allowing her to control it with ease!

The oncoming ice was already inches from Mu Ningxue. She quickly jumped backward with the help of Wind Trail.

She did a backflip in mid-air while swinging the blade. The blade let loose an arc-shaped light filled with remarkable force!

The slash was oddly powerful. Mu Ningxue slid a great distance back after releasing the enormous force, allowing her to escape the impact zone of the ice river. The splinters of ice that had fallen to the ground previously were swept into the air.

Meanwhile, the slash had sliced the towering wall of ice in half. The ice river split into two, and its trajectory changed.

Mu Ningxue eventually came to a stop after doing another backflip and landing on a bamboo. Its half-frozen stem bent like an arc-shaped bridge to support her weight.

Mu Ningxue remained on the bamboo stem for a moment. The oncoming ice might have been sliced in half, but it was still sliding toward her with great momentum. Mu Ningxue stared at it, her face calm.

The bamboo tree began to bend beneath her. It abruptly snapped forward, and threw Mu Ningxue ahead like it was launching a white sword!

Mu Ningxue flew through the gap in the middle as the two halves of the bisected glacier continued forward, looking like a sparrow flying through a canyon.

She lost her hairpin in the strong rush of the wind. Her hair immediately fell to her shoulders like a shining waterfall, further setting off her dazzling figure.

In contrast, the blade in her hand was brimming with a murderous aura. The arrogant Hou Ze was standing right at the end of the crack split into his massive attack of ice.

Hou Ze had already said he was not going to show any mercy. Therefore, Mu Ningxue had no reason to show him any mercy, either. No person with a seat in the clan meeting would escape her vengeful blade!

The great blade was as thin as a willow, but it was surprisingly sharp and firm.

Her slash extended from Hou Ze’s left shoulder to the right side of his waist. Since the blade was made of frost, Hou Ze did not shed a single drop of blood, but the shocking cut had split open to reveal his bones. The cold was also spreading throughout his body.

Hou Ze was standing there like an ice statue. The frost pouring into his body through the cut was freezing his blood and organs.

His face was not frozen yet, but had stiffened in confusion and shock.

“Did…did I lose?” Hou Ze uttered the words with great effort.

He had gone from scorning Mu Ningxue for not knowing her place to losing the fight miserably. He felt humiliated and terrified.

How is she so strong?

How did she manage to overtake me without the Mu Clan’s resources after she was expelled?

Did I not work hard enough over the years? Did I not act lowly enough in front of the leaders?

“How…how…how did you do it…” Hou Ze grabbed Mu Ningxue’s blade, allowing the frost to spread freely. However, he did not let go of the blade. He simply watched it freeze his hand.

Mu Ningxue did not say a single word, and calmly raised the blade instead.

The blade did not slide out of Hou Ze’s hand; it broke his frozen hand into pieces instead.

“AHHHH!!!” Hou Ze screamed in pain. His hand had broken off, just like that! Its clotted blood and bones fell to the ground.

Hou Ze knelt on the ground with a twisted expression, smearing his tears on the snow.

He only caught a glimpse of Mu Ningxue’s heels as she continued along the path.

His job was to stop Mu Ningxue from reaching the main building, but he had failed.

He remembered the time when Mu Ningxue was just a beautiful Junior Sister to him. She had a cold personality, but he had assumed he could still get his way with her.

Today, he had learned the true face of his Junior Sister. She was strong and brutal, just like her personality!

If the Mu Clan had not expelled her, she would eventually have stood at the highest level of the Mu Clan’s hierarchy. Her cruel, merciless, and tough personality was just like the leaders of the Mu Clan!

Hou Ze fell to the ground. The Disciplinary Mages did not dare to carry him away to be treated for some time. Outsiders might treat the Disciplinary Mages with great respect, but they were so irrelevant right now that they only dared to be bystanders, like shrimp soldiers.

Mu Ningxue’s overwhelming strength had given them the impression that she was the master, while they were the ignorant intruders!
