Alice's senses flared like crazy. She could feel the heat rushing towards her. It moved with so much firepower that she almost got ptsd.

But her determination to finish these rock creatures still overwhelmed her emotions, and she instinctively released blue flames.

The fire stream struck her body, colliding against the blue flames with all of its force.

This significantly consumed her Qi.

She was planning on saving her Qi since her body had recovered while she was resting behind the block of ice.

But she used these blue flames once again. Unlike her Wind Martial Arts, these flames consumed a lot of her Qi.

She gritted her teeth as her resolve started to waver.

If this continued, she would lose her Qi Reserve and be forced to run away. In the case of danger, she would need help from others.

This wasn't what she wanted.

At this moment, she closed her eyes for a moment, and an old memory came to her mind.

She was just trying to think of a solution when this memory suddenly appeared.

It was about the time when she was only twelve. At this age, she was forced to learn the Art of Talisman from her mother.

At that time, she had asked a question to her mother.

'Mom, why do I need to practice this art? I don't like remembering those strange runes. Can I go out and play with Elaine?'

Her voice was full of dissatisfaction, but her mother didn't get angry. Instead, she smiled and asked.

'Alice, do you know the most important part of our lives?'

'Mom, what does that have to do with this? And, no, I don't.'

'The important part of our life is the impact we can leave on this world, on someone's life. Everybody is born differently.'

'Some are born with immense talent, while others have nothing. In such a miserable world, an ordinary person can't do much.'

'But Mom, didn't you say you were also an ordinary person before?'

'That's because I didn't give up. In my life, I have encountered several troubles, and each time, I faced a wall that kept me away from success.'

'I was born ordinary, but I didn't want to live an ordinary life. I wanted to leave behind something, an impact in this world.'

'I haven't done that. Maybe I can never achieve such a thing. But this doesn't mean I should stop trying.'

'Sometimes you get a small reward for a massive sacrifice. But you should always take that reward with a smile.'

'No matter what the results are, you must always try your best. Only then can you complete the most important part of your life.'

'So, if you ever face a wall, if you ever face trouble that seems too troublesome to overcome, don't give up so easily!'

At this moment, Alice realized why she remembered this memory.

Deep down, she didn't want to rely on others for help. She was a stubborn person.

But she was starting to feel reluctant to take damage from the fire stream, just to defeat these rock creatures.

She didn't need to do that. Ken, Julia, and Elaine could easily destroy them.

She clenched her fist. Suddenly, the blue flames disappeared, and she was faced with the blazing red flame.

It was hot, severely hot enough to burn her skin.

She instinctively wanted to release her blue flames. She wanted to feel safe, but deep down, she knew that wasn't what she truly wanted.

'Don't stop now! Don't give up now! If I give up today, will I ever stand on my own? The journey of cultivation is hard.'

'I can not give up here. I can not give up today. It's time for Wind to take over!'

She gritted her teeth and jumped out of the fire stream. She knew the fire stream was gonna follow her.

The steam had started to fade away, so the rock creature should be able to see her.

But she didn't care.

She just rushed forward. Even when the fire stream moved towards her, she just kept moving forward.

With her arm raised and palm facing the rock creature.

A large amount of wind Qi gathered in front of her palm and turned into a massive Wind Blade.

But unlike the previous wind blade, this one started vibrating while moving forward.

"Tear it apart!"

[Wind Blade- Vortex]

When the stream appeared in front of her, it was torn apart by her wind blade. Although part of it still managed to harm her, it didn't matter.

She turned around while her blade moved towards the rock creature. Her eyes fell on the other rock creature.

Before it released the fire stream, she raised both of her palms and shot two medium-sized wind blades towards it.

Just like the previous blade, these were vibrating at an incredible speed.

[Wind Blade- Vortex]

It was an extension and a higher-level martial art of Wind Blade.

On top of its cutting, this blade also had thousands of mini blades inside it.

So, when it cuts, it cuts with a thousand blades, enough to tear apart everything from inside.

But she had never tried this martial art before. She was worried that those mini blades could harm her while releasing this martial art.

Only when facing this kind of danger, she abandoned such a mentality and use it without any hesitation.

And unlike her fear, her hand didn't get cut.

After all, she had a good mastery over her Wind Element.

As the wind blade struck the rock creature, it tore the creature apart. It started from the middle, and slowly, the cracks spread to its entire body.

Finally, only the chunks of rock were left on top of the ice.

Boom!

While she was happy with two successful attacks, two different streams came towards her at an extraordinary speed.

It was also because the opponent was quite close to her.

But instead of attacking those two, she immediately rushed towards the nearest rock creature.

The wind blade in her hand enlarged into a long sword that she swung towards the rock creature.

[Wind Blade- Vortex Slash]

This technique was incredibly powerful but painful as well. To make sure she could finish the creature early, she extended her Wind Blade.

And since she was holding it as a sword, the vibration did cut off her skin and even reached her muscles.

But until she cut through the body of the rock creature, she didn't let it vanish.

Even after she took care of it, she only changed hands.

Putting it on her left hand, she stabbed it to the side.

Finally, she let go of the wind blade, and it slowly dispersed in the mid-air. The hole in the rock creature started spreading.

Especially since it took quite a while for the wind blade to disappear.

With blood dripping from her palms, she rushed towards the remaining two rock creatures.

Unfortunately, these two were exactly in opposite directions.

If she attacked one, the other would definitely get a chance to blast her with the full force of the fire stream.

She was able to dodge it because she could see it coming. With her back facing the attack, she wouldn't be able to do it.

'Try it? Try it!'

She immediately made up her mind. Gritting her teeth, swallowing the pain and saliva, she placed her fists on the ice.

With her fist on the ice, she started spinning.

Since ice created a lot less friction, she was easily able to gain more speed, dodging the fire stream constantly.

At the same time, she was feeling a huge pain in her palm.

But she didn't give up. Instead, she perfectly aimed both rock creatures and got in the middle position.

With her legs spinning rapidly, she started pushing Wind Qi into her feet.

Generating two large wind blades at her feet, she started vibrating the wind blades while enlarging them at the same time.

Her boots were torn apart, and her skin started bleeding.

At this moment, she was in the middle, and those two rock creatures released their fire streams towards her.

She had only one way to dodge this attack, and she wouldn't be able to dodge it for long.

Pushing her fists against the ice, her body jumped in the air.

Boom!

Two fire streams collided in the middle, creating a huge impact that shattered the ground and raised steam into the air.

The explosion went straight towards her face, but she didn't dodge it. She couldn't dodge it.

Instead, she focused all of her attention on her Wind Element and Wind Qi. The blades emerged out of the explosion, followed by a little bit of flames.

The steam tore apart as the wind blades kept expanding.

The tip of the wind blades reached those rock creatures, and with a simple sweep, she cut off their heads.

[Wind Blade- Double Vortex Slash]

Thud! Thud!

With the bodies of the rock creatures falling on the ground, Alice finally dispersed her Wind Blade, released the blue flames with the last of her Qi, and fell.

Thud!
