Flap, flap, flap!

A swarm of bats, as if blotting out the sky, flapped their wings in the night, making a sound that was neither too loud nor too soft.

With the emergence of this swarm of bats, the entire New City, known as the city that never sleeps at the crossroads of the world, finally fell into darkness.

As the ruler of the Dark Forces in New City, the energy of Baron As was unimaginably vast!

The entire sky of New City was shrouded in the massive shadows of the bats!

...

Sunlight emerged, Avril rubbed her drowsy eyes, lazily stretched, showing off her perfect figure with all its curves.

However, Avril hadn't even begun her meditation or done her daily routines before she heard the sound of a dispute coming from outside the door.

Opening the door, Avril looked towards the source of the quarrel, discovering it was Jiang Wu, who had been guarding Xu Fan's door since early morning, arguing with the hotel staff.

The reason, of course, was Xu Fan's room. Even before Avril got close, she shivered from the cold. Xu Fan's door seemed to separate two different worlds.

Outside the door, there was birdsong and fragrant flowers, exuding warmth.

Inside the door, there was howling wind and a frigid winter landscape.

The waiter dared to get a little closer to Xu Fan's door for a moment, but was already shivering from the cold, "Sir, we have received complaints this morning that dozens of rooms around this one experienced a sudden drop in temperature overnight, and all the guests caught colds!"

"So, I must open the door now and see what's going on! Please step aside!"

Jiang Wu noticed something was wrong when he got up early and has been guarding Xu Fan's door closely, but now the cold got to him even more, reddening his hands.

At this moment, Jiang Wu remained steadfast at Xu Fan's door, not taking a step back, "We will double the compensation for the loss caused to the hotel later, but now, I will absolutely not let you in!"

"Moreover, you must not disclose a word about what happened here to anyone, or I cannot guarantee you'll see tomorrow's sun!"

Jiang Wu, who has been with the Sanfu Gang for years, showed a truly fierce side, exuding quite a bit of presence.

However, Jiang Wu's threat completely infuriated the waiter. Employees of the St. Deyan Hotel are protected by the hotel, and being blatantly threatened in a big city like New City, though only a small waiter, he still jumped and pointed at Jiang Wu, cursing.

"I see you are from Huaxia, that's why I'm speaking to you nicely, but don't push your luck!"

"Sir, if you don't get out of the way, I'll call security!"

The waiter pushed Jiang Wu aside, took out a spare key, and tried to open the door, but sadly, it was already covered in a thick layer of ice, and no amount of knocking or pushing could do anything.

In Jiang Wu's eyes, there was a hint of killing intent, but he chose not to act. In a place like this, if he caused trouble, things might get worse.

Seeing Jiang Wu caught in a dilemma, Avril hesitated slightly, about to step in when she suddenly felt the icy cold, like snow in early spring, quietly melt away.

No! It didn't really go away!

Avril had a feeling that the cold seemed to have found its master, sheathed its sharpness, and would only reveal its bone-chilling cold to the enemy when its master truly needed it!

Slam!

The waiter had exhausted all means to no avail, but now the door was easily opened.

Xu Fan, rubbing his sleepy eyes, glared at the waiter and scolded, "What the hell's all the noise? So early in the morning, can't a person sleep?"

Looking at Xu Fan, the waiter seemed to see a monster, standing there dumbfounded, unable to utter a word.

"If there's nothing, don't disturb me. I need to go back to sleep!"

Hearing Xu Fan's guest dismissal order, the waiter forced down his shock and timidly said to Xu Fan, "Sir, last, last night, dozens of guests, all, all caught a cold..."

At this moment, Xu Fan, with an expression full of impatience, finally listened to the waiter's broken words, and confidently pointed at the waiter, saying, "Customers are God, they are your God, and we aren't your God? Their colds, what has it got to do with me?"

The waiter stood there, staring at Xu Fan, who was plainly covered in frost but could confidently utter those words, speechless.

After Xu Fan threw down a sky-high compensation fee of ten million, the waiter, after consulting his superiors, finally bowed his head in the face of Xu Fan's billion-dollar offer.

Without leaving a trace, Xu Fan glanced at Avril beside him, turned around to instruct Jiang Wu not to disturb him in the coming days, and once again closed the door tightly.

All night long, Xu Fan was battling the rampant Ice Energy inside his body, the feeling like every pore was being pricked by needles, letting Xu Fan experience extreme pain time and again.

However, all that effort wasn't in vain. The ice melted, suffering ended sweetly, Xu Fan not only successfully advanced his strength to the Late Stage of Entering Dao, but after refining Ice Energy, he found that his Spiritual Power had already taken on a hint of ice attribute!

This means that when Xu Fan fights, a punch can freeze his opponent, even if they are a level above him in strength, catching them off guard!

However, even with such tremendous progress, Xu Fan was still unsatisfied. After absorbing some Cold Essence, he realized the boost to his Spiritual Power wasn't as significant as at the beginning.

His body had already adapted to the sharpness of Ice Energy, the pain became minimal, and the rate of strength enhancement also drastically slowed down.

At this rate, even by seizing Cold Essence and training desperately for five more days, he definitely wouldn't reach the Peak of Entering Dao level!

Xu Fan gritted his teeth, put away the Cold Essence, and opened the bag thrown on the ground. Various materials seized and purchased by Xu Fan from the gathering were spread out in a dazzling array.

Recalling the entire blueprint process for crafting a Mechanical Warrior in his mind, Xu Fan spread out pile after pile of materials and began crafting with full concentration.

The Mechanical Warrior, combined with Cold Essence as the Energy Core, is Xu Fan's true trump card!

But having experienced the vast Spiritual Energy of Cold Essence, Xu Fan was filled with anticipation for the Ice Mechanical Warrior about to debut in his hands!
