In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 70 Tears of Eternal Frost.

Before long, inside the tree hollow, Zhu Wu looked around and saw Zi Ji kneeling quietly on a wide white jade bed, her eyes slightly closed. The surroundings were empty, without any decorations or furniture. Three meters away was a circle of dark pools, which appeared to connect to the swamp beneath the tree roots.

Drip, drip, water is dripping continuously from the tree wall above the cave.

Cold, dark, and damp—that's how he described Murasaki's residence.

Why does it feel like I'm about to be interrogated by my wife after just getting home? Looking at Zi Ji's calm face, Zhu Wu felt very strange.

Zi Ji is indeed beautiful and has good attributes. She and Ling'er are a perfect match, representing the contrast between ice and fire. However, she is too cold-hearted.

"Ahem." Zhu Wu coughed lightly to bolster his courage and strode forward.

Upon arriving at the jade bed, he sat down without changing his expression, and moved sideways a few times to be behind Zi Ji.

The young woman's heart was far too profound and broad-minded, far surpassing that of a young wife. He was even afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself if he sat in front of her.

Then he was discovered, and a big fist slapped him far away.

"Then I'll begin." As he spoke, Zhu Wu raised his right hand and placed it on the spine behind Zi Ji's chest.

A flash of light appeared between his brows, and the Eye of Destiny opened.

The sudden surge of spiritual energy alerted Zi Ji, giving her an inexplicable feeling of being seen through. Indeed, she was somewhat familiar with the function of Zhu Wu's Eye of Life.

Thinking of this, his body trembled involuntarily, then tensed up.

A surge of heat rose from her noticeably accelerating heart to her cheeks, turning them flushed.

Zhu Wu also felt Zi Ji's body temperature rising. To be honest, his body temperature was also rising, and his heartbeat was gradually accelerating.

It must be said that the Eye of Fate is very powerful, and Murasaki is equally magnificent and powerful!

With Zi Ji's cultivation level, she could naturally sense Zhu Wu's abnormality through his arm, and her face immediately turned even redder.

"." Zhu Wu sensed the rapid rise in Zi Ji's body temperature and quickly suppressed his inner turmoil. He took a deep breath and focused on guiding his soul power into the main meridian on Zi Ji's back, using his spiritual power to follow the natural flow of soul power within her body.

Time passed slowly, and after two rest stops along the way, Zhu Wu withdrew his hand and said softly, "It's ready."

"Hmm," Zi Ji responded softly, turning slightly away.

Seeing this, Zhu Wu did not intend to stay any longer.

"I'll wait for you outside." He left those words, quickly got off the bed, and strode towards the cave entrance.

Zi Ji then turned her blushing face and glanced at the cave entrance with her bright eyes.

After a long while, he gently got off the bed, took a deep breath, and slowly walked towards the cave entrance.

Hearing the noise, Zhu Wu, who was standing outside, turned around.

A faint blush lingered on her seemingly calm face, especially around her dimples. Combined with her cold, sharp features and fair skin beneath her neck, she possessed an unusual allure. Zhu Wu, who had never seen Zi Ji look like this before, had his eyes light up and couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.

Zi Ji felt her cheeks flush again, feeling somewhat embarrassed and annoyed. She gritted her teeth and said, "Is it pretty?"

"As beautiful as a fairy!" Zhu Wu immediately snapped out of his daze, nodded slightly, gave a serious evaluation, and glanced at her a few more times.

Such high praise left Zi Ji unsure whether to be angry or not. But seeing Zhu Wu still taking the opportunity to look, a blush rose on her beautiful face, and she subconsciously glared at him, gritting her teeth and spitting lightly.

"As a senior figure, aren't you ashamed?"

Zhu Wu felt like they were flirting, so he shrugged and said, "I'm not lying, what's there to be ashamed of?"

"If you're not good-looking, even if you wanted to be my dragon consort, I wouldn't want to."

"..." Zi Ji was speechless. This guy's ability to take advantage of someone else's misfortune was simply unparalleled, coupled with his shamelessness, he was practically invincible. Suddenly, she didn't want to talk to him anymore.

If he keeps talking, who knows what shameless things he'll say next.

Moreover, this guy seems to be addicted, constantly trying to flirt with her in various ways.

Killing him is out of the question, but beating him up will only give him more vital energy, and he might even become more aggressive after his injuries heal. There's just no way to deal with it.

"Tell me about the skills you've come up with," she said calmly, suppressing her agitated emotions and changing the subject.

Zhu Wu didn't press the matter further and nodded.

"Follow me!"

As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the lake shore, saying, "This move is called Tears of Eternal Frost. The principle is to highly compress the cold, yin energy, but keep it in a liquid state. At the same time, it also requires injecting highly concentrated soul power into it as a core, giving it explosive properties."

"In this way, once released, its explosion can be controlled, releasing a fine, cold aura like a torrential rain into the surrounding area."

"And the effect I envisioned was that wherever I went, everything would freeze, and the earth would turn into a perpetual frost polar region."

"There are two difficulties with this move. First, you have to keep the Yin-cold energy in a liquid state while maintaining its intensity. Otherwise, the Yin-cold energy scattered after the explosion will not produce a sufficient freezing effect. Second, it must also be kept in a liquid state because the physical impact damage from the explosion of solid ice is far greater than the freezing effect, and the coverage area is limited and not dense enough."

"After all, explosions are difficult to control. It's hard to blast solid ice into fine enough powder and evenly distribute it around. Liquid ice, on the other hand, is much easier to control. After exploding, it can disperse into a cloud of mist, covering a large area. Furthermore, during the dispersion process, the cold air combines with the moisture in the air and naturally condenses into ice, resulting in a wider impact damage."

Behind her, Zi Ji listened in shock, looking at Zhu Wu's retreating figure, feeling a strange sense of disconnect. When he was thinking seriously, his mind was incredibly calculating, frighteningly calm, and his nature could be described as ruthless. When he relaxed, he appeared somewhat casual, even shameless—these were completely different styles.

Is it because you're usually too bored?

Or is it that I'm too quiet and difficult to get along with, making Zhu Wu feel a bit bored?

Upon considering this possibility, I fell silent.

"Secondly, a soul power core of sufficient strength needs to be injected into the Tear of Eternal Frost for detonation, otherwise it will affect the explosive power and range. But condensing a soul power core of sufficient strength and maintaining stability is another problem."

"What's more, it's also enveloped in a layer of highly concentrated liquid icy energy," Zhu Wu continued. "This is also the problem I'm currently facing: how to combine the two."

After saying that, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

With a soft thud, Zhu Wu felt the back of his head hit something cool and soft, and he couldn't help but turn around.

Zi Ji had already placed one hand on her chest, standing a meter away from him, her face rosy and radiant, exceptionally beautiful.

Zi Ji is over 1.8 meters tall, while Zhu Wu is only a little over 1.6 meters tall. Zhu Wu immediately realized what he had bumped into.

You, Zi Ji, actually rammed into someone while carrying the ball!

Zhu Wu glanced at her subconsciously, wondering when Ling'er would achieve her goal, and then said, "We've reached the lake shore."

"Why don't you give it a try?"

This guy really doesn't let any opportunity slip by. It's infuriating! Feeling Zhu Wu's gaze, Zi Ji was furious, embarrassed, and questioning her life.

What's wrong with me today? After a moment's thought, I realized it must be because I was angered by Zhu Wu's flirtatious remarks!

Her emotions had never fluctuated as much as they had in her entire life.

On the other side, seeing that Zi Ji's expression had changed, Zhu Wu immediately turned around, moved to the side, and made way for her.

It's like saying, "Please begin your performance!"

"."

The anger rising within Zi Ji instantly froze. She clenched her fists, forcing down her emotions, and gritted her teeth, saying, "I'll try!"

After saying that, he strode forward and came to the edge of the riverbank.

Considering the author wrote 20 words for free before publishing, please forgive the filler content during this period. If I hadn't guessed the Star Dou Great Forest storyline might be very long, I wouldn't have given up so many words for free. Besides, these plot points really can't be lost.

All I can say is, it's coming soon!
