"Feels good to be stronger, doesn't it, Seraphin?"
[Master, I am now in Michael Mode. So, call me Michael.]
"Well, how many modes do you have?"
[You don't need to know. By the way, you need to rest and meditate for 2–3 days to feel the flow of your power and to upgrade your weapons.]
"Well, soon I'm going to the Icy Mountain."
Xiao Yan looked for a quiet place and sat down. The space around him started to slow down; his hard work had finally paid off.
[Mjolnir upgrade: Sky Ruler Mjolnir. It can now be used with thunder power.]
"Oh gosh, what a thing. I will use it as my main weapon now."
Three days passed. Xiao Yan had changed his look. He wrapped a long silk cloth around his eyes, his weapon was strapped to his back, and he wore white and black clothes gifted by the system.
[Because your Codex Eyes have upgraded to the Divine Stage, you dare to hide them behind silk?]
"It is to challenge myself," Xiao Yan replied. "So I can use the Codex Eye to know where I am and sense everything around me."
He walked towards the gates of the city, his long hair blowing in the wind. He was so handsome he could blind the girls and so muscular he could intimidate the toughest guys.
"Wow, so handsome!" onlookers whispered.
[Master, you have changed a lot after your training. If you can breakthrough to the Divine Realm of Balance Breaking, you will be more and more powerful—but you are still an ant in front of the strong men of Longshen and the Eternal Hall Academy.]
"Don't worry about me. I can enter the academy like this."
[Only 5 months left, and the mountain will open in 1 month. So you've gotta be ready.]
"Who are you?" asked the guards of Canghai City, who didn't recognize him at all.
"Well... well... well... make space for me, or..."
"Or what? Show me your human ID."
"I don't have one. What is the problem?"
The two guards from last time appeared before him, trying to grab him and throw him out. They were both body cultivators who had reached the Divine Realm, but Xiao Yan was the Breaker of Balance.
"You don't wanna move? Well, I will make you."
As one guard approached Xiao Yan, who had his eyes blinded with silk, the guard sneered, "You're already blind! What can you do?"
Xiao Yan moved his foot up and slammed it down on the ground.
PAWWWWW!!!
The rocks flew up. With Xiao Yan's thunder powers, he didn't even draw his sword; he electrocuted the two guards and moved into the city at high speed.
"Contact the Protector! He will take care of this intruder!" yelled the guards, who were no match for him.
At the same time, Bingxue was about to enter seclusion, but one of the Elders of the Immortal Hall appeared.
"Young Miss Bingxue, you can't enter seclusion."
"Why is that?"
"The Elders have selected you to go to the Mountains of Ice because they will open in one month."
"Hmm, why me?"
"You are an ice user, so choosing you is the best."
"Alright," said Bingxue, as she disappeared into a flow of snow.
"Omg, she is a true talent. No one can be a challenge for her," said the Elder as he walked away.
"System, what do you think? Did I do good just now?"
[It's no problem, but you need time to completely control your veins of thunder. Eventually, you will be able to travel kilometers at high speed.]
"Hell yeah. I'm going all out to make the impossible become possible."
The city was crowded as merchants and cultivators were arriving for the open mountain event in one month.
"I feel a little hungry, System."
[I'm not your father, so don't complain to me.]
"Huh... isn't that Xiao Yan? I almost didn't recognize you. You have become more charming."
"Oh, hi Jinyao. I thought you were going to the Academy."
"Well... my family sent me here for the mountain opening. What about you?"
"I'm looking for something."
"So, wanna stay with me for a second?" Jinyao asked.
"You said it yourself—only one second."
"Ahh, you have also become stron—" She hadn't finished talking when Xiao Yan said, "One second is over. Now, bye."
"What?! Wait!" She watched Xiao Yan walk away. "What a pity. This guy really thought I meant exactly one second. But we will meet again, I assure you."
At the entrance of the city stood Shi Lieya, the young daughter of the Shi family.
"My family forced me to come to a stupid mountain. Gosh, what can I find here?"
Her cavalry entered the city; it was quite a scene and everyone was looking. As Shi Lieya sat there, bored and sad about coming, she noticed Xiao Yan passing by.
"Wow, what a handsome boy!" she blushed and cried out. "Stop the chariot!"
Xiao Yan had just escaped Jinyao, but now Shi Lieya had her eyes on him.
