The Eight-winged Golden Scale Python glanced doubtfully at the Snake King. "Won't Boss be in danger, then? If even you can't stand the cold, how is he supposed to?"
The Snake King spoke to the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python with a serious expression. "King, he is no ordinary person. He has already mastered the Thunder and Gold Elents, so I believe he should be able to master the Water Elent as well.
"It will just take so ti for him to truly master the Water Elent, but I believe he can obtain the Profound Ice Pearl. You don't need to worry. If he can't take it anymore, he'll certainly return to the riverbank."
The Eight-winged Golden Scale Python said no more. Both he and the Snake King stared unblinkingly at Ye Tian in the river. Even from the bank, they could feel the water's chill—it was truly terrifying.
Ye Tian was continuously circulating his Dragon Spiritual Power to resist the encroaching cold. He could clearly feel his skin beginning to crack. The fissures were tiny, but they were undeniably real.
Gradually, bone-chilling Profound Ice Elent Particles seeped into the cracks. Once inside, the cold intensified, making him shiver uncontrollably as an excruciating pain washed over him.
Ye Tian was enduring, pushing his willpower to its absolute limit. He felt his limbs growing numb and unresponsive; his entire body felt like it was about to be frozen solid.
'Just a little longer! Just a little longer!' It was the only thought in Ye Tian's mind as he tried to figure out how to endure for even a mont more.
When he first entered the river, Ye Tian had thought he could only last for about fifteen minutes, but an entire hour had now passed. It was truly unimaginable.
The drain on his Dragon Spiritual Power was imnse, as it fought against the Profound Ice Elent Particles invading his body. But the particles were pervasive, seeping in from everywhere until they rapidly filled his entire system.
Ye Tian knew that if this went on, sothing would seriously go wrong. This thod of Body Cultivation was truly vicious. But he didn't know what else to do. If he climbed out now, the War Dragon Remnant Soul would surely call him useless.
But if he didn't get out, he could very well lose his life in this river, and that would be a truly pointless death. For a mont, he was torn and anxious.
'If I die, I die! I refuse to believe it would just watch freeze to death!' Ye Tian thought. If anything happened to him, the War Dragon Remnant Soul inside his body would certainly be in trouble as well.
Since he was its hand-picked successor, it surely wouldn't let him face any real danger. With that, Ye Tian believed he would be fine.
Having co to this realization, Ye Tian continued to circulate his Dragon Spiritual Power while slowly trying to sense the Profound Ice Elent Particles. He knew that these were, in essence, Water Elent Particles.
To sense and communicate with Elent Particles under such excruciating pain was a feat beyond ordinary people. As talented as Ye Tian was, he was still human and felt himself being overwheld.
An unknown amount of ti passed before Ye Tian opened his eyes. It felt as though the simple act of opening them required imnse effort. More than half of his Dragon Spiritual Power had been depleted.
At this point, he no longer had the strength to get out of the water on his own. He couldn't help but look toward the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python and the Snake King on the bank.
"Ye Lin, get out of the river! I can't move anymore!" Ye Tian called out to the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python.
His voice was terribly faint, but both the Snake King and the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python heard him clearly.
The Eight-winged Golden Scale Python imdiately shot into the air. Though small in stature, its strength was imnse. Two of its tendrils grabbed Ye Tian's shoulders, yanking him from the river and flying him swiftly to the bank.
Ye Tian lay motionless on the ground, his breathing so shallow it was almost imperceptible. A thick layer of Profound Ice encased his body, making him look exactly like a man made of ice.
Anyone else would have frozen to death long ago, but Ye Tian was different. The mysterious Dragon Pearl inside him continuously surged with Energy, allowing him to maintain his core body temperature.
"Boss, are you okay?" the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python asked worriedly. "This river is just too weird. You shouldn't go in again. It would be a disaster if sothing happened to you!"
"I'm fine, Ye Lin," Ye Tian said. "I'm just a bit drained of energy. By the way, how long was I in the river? My consciousness is getting a little fuzzy."
"You were in the river for a whole day and a night!" the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python exclaid. "The Snake King and I are in absolute awe. Even a master at the Five Vein Realm might not have lasted that long, but you did it, Boss! You're truly one of a kind."
Ye Tian felt a little better now. At least, out of the water, he was no longer being assaulted by its frigid chill. He managed to force a faint smile and said,
"I still haven't achieved my goal... Anyway, what was that surprise you ntioned? I'm actually quite curious to find out now!"
"Since you're so eager to know, Boss, I'll show you. But you have to promise not to laugh at !" the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python said.
Ye Tian gave a slight nod. He could still move his head, at least. He fixed his gaze on the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python, waiting to see what kind of surprise he had in store for him.
The Eight-winged Golden Scale Python flew into the air, and its body began to flicker with an astonishing amount of Thunder Power, giving off a terrifying aura.
The Snake King watched the sky as well. Suddenly, a dazzling purple light erupted from the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python, and his body began to slowly change.
He suddenly expanded, then shrank in an instant. His entire body was shrouded in the purple light, a truly bizarre sight.
Gradually, Ye Tian noticed a human-like silhouette appearing within the light. This had to be the transformation into human form—perhaps even his first ti.
A mont later, the purple light vanished. Floating in the air was a young girl with purple hair, dressed in purple clothes. She was breathtakingly beautiful.
The girl descended lightly to the ground. She glanced at the prone Ye Tian and smiled. "Well, Boss, isn't my surprise unexpected? Tell , am I as beautiful as your ladies?"
Ye Tian felt as if he'd been struck by lightning. He was numb, completely dumbfounded. The shock of what the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python had done was almost too much for him to comprehend.
The human form this guy had taken was truly beautiful—so beautiful one could barely look directly at her. In terms of sheer looks, she was probably even more stunning than Ye Feifei or Qin Xiaowan.
Her ample chest, in particular, was almost beyond belief. She was an absolute knockout, a true worldly temptation. It was one shock after another; Ye Tian could hardly believe his eyes…
