Chapter 989 Icy Chi
Chapter 989 Icy Chi
"THIS JIN!" Qiu Yue said as she squeezed her fist and chi oozed out naturally. The impact of her chi suddenly caused her surroundings to crack and freeze. If one breathed in the air, they could feel that their lungs were dried out and their throats ached for moisture.
At that moment, Tsu walked to her and tapped her shoulders to keep her in check. Only then did the Red Panda Cultivator realise what she was doing and controlled her chi from spilling out of her body.
"Sorry about that. It's just that I wanted to have a full course of intensive training, but the Boss keeps breaking our momentum. It infuriates me quite a bit." Qiu Yue apologised, and Tsu merely nodded his head.
"Your choice, the Farming World seems a big deal too. Especially when Jin's sudden epiphany turned out to be very true. They are not mining for more litoride ore for their steam tech products but rather digging to reach out for other regions." Kai commented as he saw the missive sent by the System. (Technically it was just an SMS.)
"I honestly think you should go help Jin. We can always train more. Besides, you did considerably well, especially for the time you had." Tsu added a compliment.
"Guys, can you two stop it? Both of you are way too different outside of training. It scares me." Qiu Yue said, and the beast children who saw the scene from afar were already giggling.
"What Qiu Yue Big Sis said is true!" Lapp, the grey wolf girl said out loud and Kai immediately sent a mini chi blast towards her. However, she managed to dodged it and in return, unsheathed her sword and released a greyish chi slash towards her mentor.
But for Kai, he did not move and instead took the blast head on. There was no scratch or wound when it hit the Wolf Fox, and Lapp cursed under her breath.
"Remember what we said about cursing?" Tsu reminded Lapp strongly.
"Teacher, why is it Lapp's fault? Qiu Yue Big Sis used it regularly." Tera, the black wolf girl said, and the Wolf Fox Twins immediately looked at Qiu Yue.
"What?! It's not entirely my fault they learned those!" Qiu Yue tried to defend herself from saying explicit curse words. Though it was natural for her to swear, in order to lessen the pain she was going through. Psychologically, it helped a lot and that was why the kids followed too.
"Yea! It's not her fault, damn it!" Lapp said casually without knowing the meaning, but it felt good. Tsu and Kai could only shake their heads and told Qiu Yue to get going.
With a quick goodbye to the rest of the kids, the Red Panda Cultivator immediately teleported to Jin's side with the aid of the System's portal.
"Welcome back, sorry that I – woman what are you doing?!" Jin heard the sound of a portal opening, knowing it was Qiu Yue, but he did not expect a fury of icicle spears directed to his direction. While he could have dodged it, he was more concerned with the work stored in the dungeon console and thus similarly used a Panda White Ice wall magic to block the attacks.
"What am I doing? More like why do you keep bugging me to appear when I'm in training!" Qiu Yue said as she retracted her chi.
However, that show of power was enough to let Jin know that she definitely improved from the last time he saw her. And the jump in improvement was frightening. It felt like the chi she wields had the taste of cold winter winds. The chills of ice creeping forth were obvious even though it paled in comparison to Frost Echo, the Avatar of Shiva.
Her cultivation of the Radiant Red Panda in the Umbral Snow allowed her to possess and control ice with her chi and the higher her grade, the more potent those ice chi powers could be. According to the cultivation manual, it might even be steady enough to use for building materials and withstand regular heat.
While Qiu Yue was a predominantly ice user, it was the direct opposite of Lynn who cultivated the Perfectible Penguin Ruling The Kitchen Hell. However, the Penguin Cultivator had not been fighting in the front lines despite her grade ascensions. Instead, her strength lies in manipulating fire, and she was extremely good at it since her cooking needed it as if it was an essential ingredient.
A difference in a degree of heat could drastically change the taste that she was aiming for. In fact, most chef cultivators were the same as Lynn, apt at controlling fire. But whether they have the strict discipline and talent to do so was another matter. Fire Control does not mean it was restricted to maintaining the fire at the stove but could be used for baking too. Unfortunately, most modern veteran chefs were unable to do that and relied on electric ovens instead. Lynn could not only control the heat in the oven but was able to cook simultaneously at the stove too. Her multi tasking and detailed control over multiple fires made her a top notch chef that not many had noticed yet.
But unlike the kitchens, Lynn continued to rely on her ninja penguins in battle since she believed they were stronger than her. (Though our Dungeon Chef still has some tricks under her sleeve which she has yet to show.)
"Alright, alright. I am sorry. Do not blame Lynn for this, I forced her to tell me because I needed your help urgently and somehow it just so happened I needed you to make it work." Jin lied about Lynn so he would not be accused of revealing where Qiu Yue went.
"Hmmph, I supposed you needed my aid in the days to come, I just did not expect it to be so soon. But judging from the summarised report you sent me, it doesn't bode well, and I guess it's valid you called me urgently." Qiu Yue said, but she didn't know how she could help with the Farming World. Thus she highlighted the advanced training centre until Jin stopped her before she could begin. The Dungeon Supplier also mentioned how she would be needed later for the negotiations with the Southern Stars, and all Qiu Yue could do was to roll her eyes. As usual, so much work and so little time. (At the very least, the compensation was more than sufficient, especially her red packet money. So, there was not much she could complain about when she had received this much money.)
"While I read and appreciated the war plan that you and the minion leaders wrote up, I actually have something else in mind that I would like you all to consider. For that, I need your Sub System capabilities for the incoming plan that I thought up." Jin said as it has been a long time since he took the initiative to create a comprehensive war plan.
"Now, I am intrigued! To see that you have a plan in mind, it's like seeing a dungeon instance being created on the spot." Qiu Yue laughed.
"What's wrong with that? If not, I have no revenue from my customers and raid instances are the most profitable. Need the moolah to get the Virtual Reality Network working right?" Jin said as he unveiled the plan via the dungeon maker console and she stared blankly at it for a moment.
