I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything

Ice Snow Realm!

It remains as cold as ever.

On a vast, endless snowfield, the blizzard rages, making it nearly impossible to open one's eyes.

Like the Miwu Ghost Forest, within this Ice Snow Realm, visibility is severely restricted... If the Miwu Ghost Forest is shrouded in dense fog that obscures distant views, then the Ice Snow Realm is a physical barrier with its blizzards directly blinding you.

Once upon a time, on Blue Star, now only less than one percent of its land remains, sealed and airtight.

The Spiritual Qi that once filled an entire world has been forcibly compressed into a hundredfold smaller area.

Naturally, the quality of Qi has also become intensely rich.

And anything in excess is never good, which has resulted in the extremely harsh environment within the Secret Realm, accompanied by seemingly endless hordes of Demon Beasts.

The overly abundant Spiritual Qi has nurtured too many powerful and excessive Demon Beasts.

Just like now...

In just a mere two or three months.

Previously, in the safety zone of the Ice Snow Realm that was completely cleared, new Demon Beasts have once again occupied different territories... seemingly unchanged from before.

But in fact, some of the Demon Beasts from the danger zone have migrated into the safety zone.

From a certain perspective, they've successfully curbed the growth and rampancy of Demon Beasts within the Secret Realm.

This is also what the Four Great Martial Mansions have to do every year. The Demon Beasts in the danger zone are too dangerous and too powerful. They can only alleviate the pressure in this way.

Exterminate Demon Beasts?

Mankind cannot simultaneously open another front while battling the mysterious races of the heavens.

And at this moment...

Inside the Secret Realm of the Ice Snow Realm.

A panicked figure is frantically fleeing in the blizzard, looking back anxiously from time to time, as if some monstrous creature is chasing after him.

Deng Yuqi!

A Tier Three student at the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, ranking forty-fifth on the Huichuan Realm leaderboard, having such a rank in the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion means his strength is quite impressive.

But now, he appears utterly disheveled and terrified, as if the terrifying enemy pursuing him has rendered him unable to muster the courage for a fight.

It's baffling, despite this state of terror, seemingly on the brink of death, he's as stubbornly insistent as an iron rooster, refusing to press the Martial Mansion-issued Spiritual Protection Device.

And just after he left.

"Meow... meow..."

A robust cat's meow echoed a bit strangely.

A completely white Snow Leopard, about the size of a dog, agilely darted through the snow, occasionally meowing to urge the people behind to catch up...

Xu Lingjun appeared closely behind, and as Daxiong, the cuddly creature, approached playfully, he retrieved a piece of Demon Beast flesh from the Transformation Capsule. The Snow Leopard happily grabbed it in its mouth, meowing jubilantly and coquettishly.

"Don't get complacent, we haven't caught up yet. Once we do, you can have your favorite fish snack tonight."

"Meow..."

Daxiong was instantly energized, rolling around in the snow before dashing forward like an arrow.

Returning to its homeland... it was extraordinarily excited, especially in this cold climate with pervasive wind and snow, which it intrinsically loved.

In the snowy landscape, a white arrow shot forth, quickly disappearing.

Xu Lingjun closely followed behind, asking, "How's it going?"

Xiaoya replied, "Daxiong's power is indeed awakening, and its tracking ability is strong. The enemy has never escaped its control. In fact, its tracking range might be much larger than mine."

"After all, this is its turf."

Xu Lingjun's voice bore admiration; after all, Daxiong is a Level 7 Demon Beast, one of the top in this Secret Realm, though slightly misled by Pang Hu, such as loving fish snacks, and has lost its fierce growl... Yet, this doesn't detract from its strength.

Just like now...

The enemy had already escaped Xiaoya's monitoring range but apparently remained within Daxiong's tracking perimeter.

In reality, if Xu Lingjun hadn't intended to temper Daxiong, the enemy might have already been kneeling at his feet, singing a song of surrender.

"Meow~~~"

In the distance, an adorably fierce sound was heard again, accompanied by Deng Yuqi's panicked shout.

"Get off! Stay away from me, I was wrong, can't you see that?"

Xu Lingjun chuckled and dashed forward.

In the distance, the Ice Snow Leopard had locked onto Deng Yuqi's leg, tugging incessantly, yet it knew its limits, or else Deng Yuqi might have already become crippled.

As he approached, seeing the human and beast entangled, Xu Lingjun said calmly, "You have betrayed this Martial Mansion."

"Xu Lingjun, I know I was wrong. Please spare me... I admit it, I was greedy and shouldn't have plotted against a fellow student's possessions, but I truly lost my mind for a moment. We're all students of the same Martial Mansion, always seeing each other, please spare me, I'm still a lifelong member of your hotpot restaurant."

While kicking the Snow Leopard, Deng Yuqi spoke tearfully.

Xu Lingjun touched the pale mask on his face and said, "What nonsense, I'm Jigsaw… How could I be Xu Lingjun?"

"I may be bad, foolish, and stupid... but I'm not blind."

Deng Yuqi was about to cry, his leg caught in a Demon Beast's mouth. If it exerted force, he'd have a cripple's fate.

Even knowing Xu Lingjun was present and wouldn't be too harsh, the instinctual human fear remained undeniable.

He thought of how Jigsaw, while tormenting people in the Ice Snow Realm, always had a white Snow Leopard around... and in the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, housed in the same dormitory area, who didn't know the recently crowned Dragon Gate Champion Scholar had acquired a fast-growing white cat?

Though Xu Lingjun had repeatedly explained that a white cat is a white cat, and a Snow Leopard is a Snow Leopard, who has ever seen a Snow Leopard meow?

Yet the Snow Leopard at Jigsaw's place meows meowingly.

Such blatant evidence, even if Jigsaw wore a mask, couldn't completely obscure its identity.

It's said that when Qu Zhengying learned about this, he viciously slapped himself several times, then hugged a table and cried for a long time... lamenting what use his eyes had.

He then signed a voluntary application for corneal donation upon death on the same day, expressing that these eyes were wasted on him, and stated that if he perished while training in the Polar Star Battlefield, these eyes should bring light to someone else, better than being blind on him.

He hadn't thought of revenge or anything...

Allegedly, those who were previously arrogant in the Martial Mansion like Liu Yun, Ding Yuan, now were running around every day for academic credits, not daring to mention revenge. Even when encountering Xu Lingjun, they would avoid the path.

Joking aside, rumors circulated that Xu Lingjun and Han Yun City combined forces to kill Pirate King Roger Sparrow.

Particularly because this news came from Xu Lingjun's close friend Zong Xiaoping, making it even more credible.

A Martial Artist at the Peak of the Profound Realm was beaten to death by him...

How long has he been enrolled?

He had already grown immensely powerful.

Who would dare provoke him?

Xu Lingjun didn't mind the exposure, nor did others dare bear grudges. Even knowing Jigsaw's real identity, what could be done about the torment in the Secret Realm? Choosing to upset him outside the Martial Mansion seemed unwise too.

"You know what to do, right?"

Xu Lingjun asked.

"No, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong... I won't do it again. I've spent money at your place, I am a lifelong member at your hotpot spot, I visit there every day, I spend my academic credits on slices of Demon Beast meat every time, my contribution is part of your strength, won't you forgive me this once?"

Deng Yuqi cried genuinely and pleaded, "I can give back what I grabbed, including what I gained this trip... but don't force me to press the Spiritual Protection Device, will you? I realize my mistake, I really realize my mistake."

Xu Lingjun: "..............."

"Just return the things you've taken."

He sighed helplessly, thinking, damn, exposing my identity has inconvenienced me; even acting harshly feels awkward.

One after another, they've all eaten at my hotpot... They're all clients, abusing them feels kind of guilty.
