The existence of the Ice Tower is meant to refine the bodies of the Students, and the Mysterious Ice Ointment can only exert its best effects within this tower.
The icy power on the third level of the Ice Tower is enough to deter even Half-Step Human Spirit warriors from lingering there, so it is undoubtedly most suitable for Aotian to experience the stimulation of this icy force here.
As for the fourth level of the Ice Tower, Aotian does not believe he can enter. The cold winds on the third level are already daunting enough; going to the fourth level would be akin to seeking death.
Based on Aotian's estimation, those who can enter the fourth level of the Ice Tower are likely warriors who have stepped into the Human Spirit Realm.
Time slowly passes as Aotian sits cross-legged in the snow, absorbing the medicinal power of the Mysterious Ice Ointment. As a result, his physical strength is increasing at a remarkably noticeable pace.
Of course, his consciousness is constantly monitoring the surrounding cold winds, and whenever a cold gust blows by, Aotian avoids it in advance.
When the cold wind sweeps past him, goosebumps rise all over Aotian's body. Due to the proximity, he can clearly sense the terrifying tearing force within the cold wind.
If he were to be caught by this tearing force, he would likely suffer severe injuries if not worse. Aotian feels a deep shock within.
In the vast snowy expanse of the third level of the Ice Tower, Aotian and Niu Geng sit cross-legged in separate corners, both silent and contemplative.
The vast snowfield is desolate, with only the sound of howling winds echoing continuously.
Aotian continuously operates the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Body to absorb the medicinal power of the Mysterious Ice Ointment. The ice blue beneath his skin seems almost tangible. From a distance, Aotian appears to be wearing a suit of ice-blue armor, striking awe in those who see him.
Clearly, Aotian has gradually entered the late stage of the first transformation of the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Body.
"Boom!"
At that moment, Aotian feels a slight tremor beneath his feet in the snow. He opens his eyes in confusion, and a shocking scene comes into view.
At this moment, Niu Geng was enveloped in a dazzling black light, his face marked with a serious expression, and a fierce aura slowly emanated from his body.
A roar erupted from Niu Geng's mouth, shaking the ice fragments on the snowy ground into pieces. Immediately, Niu Geng charged forward like a frenzied beast into the swirling cold wind.
At this moment, Niu Geng seemed to transform into a demonic god, his ferocity intimidating the world.
In Aotian's astonished gaze, Niu Geng collided violently with the terrifying cold wind!
Suddenly, crimson lines spread across Niu Geng's bronze skin, revealing the blood vessels hidden within him.
The bright red blood vessels continued to swell, becoming increasingly prominent on Niu Geng's body, causing Aotian to worry that they might burst.
"Ah!"
Amidst the brutal cold wind, Niu Geng let out a piercing howl. The once brilliant black light around him began to dim gradually, while dark red blood seeped out from beneath his bronze skin.
Clearly, although this Niu Geng was somewhat mysterious, he was struggling against the terrifying tearing force of the cold wind.
Seeing this, Aotian's eyes filled with concern. Although he and Niu Geng were not very familiar with each other, the latter was an honest and kind-hearted person with extraordinary talent; it would be a pity if he were to fall here.
Thus, Aotian slowly stood up, a golden energy beginning to shimmer on his surface. Clearly, to prevent any mishap from befalling Niu Geng, Aotian was preparing to use the Transformation Technique.
Just as Aotian was about to take action, a roar echoed across the vast snowy expanse:
"First Level Demonization!"
As the voice just sounded, Aotian was shocked to discover a mysterious Ancient Character appearing on Niu Geng's forehead. The emergence of this Ancient Character instantly revitalized the previously weak Niu Geng, and the dim black light surrounding him suddenly radiated a blinding Brightness.
Aotian's gaze gravely lingered on the blood vessels on Niu Geng's body, noticing that the originally bright red blood vessels had turned into an eerie pitch-black color.
Aotian could sense an extremely mysterious power surging from Niu Geng's Bloodline, causing Niu Geng's injuries to heal in an instant and significantly increasing his physical strength.
According to Aotian's estimation, if it were purely based on physical strength, he would not be a match for Niu Geng. Even if his physical strength broke through to the late stage of the first transformation, he might not be able to defeat the current Niu Geng.
"Break!"
Niu Geng let out a loud shout and then punched out fiercely. Immediately, the terrifying tearing force in the cold wind was forcefully shattered by Niu Geng, who calmly walked out of the cold wind's embrace.
Looking at Niu Geng standing in the snow, Aotian was taken aback.
At that moment, Niu Geng's eyes were blood-red, and the innocent expression on his face had completely vanished, replaced by a strange and sinister charm.
Niu Geng's gaze fixed on Aotian, and in an instant, Aotian felt a brutal emotion rising from deep within his heart.
Suddenly, Aotian showed a look of horror, pushing off the ground with his toes and retreating rapidly. He then looked at Niu Geng with a wary expression.
The current Niu Geng was completely different from the previous one, leaving no room for Aotian to be careless.
As he looked at Aotian not far away, Niu Geng's eyes began to change and struggle continuously. Eventually, the blood-red hue in his eyes began to slowly fade away.
At the same time, the Ancient Character on his forehead started to gradually merge into Niu Geng's skin as the blood color in his eyes faded. The blood vessels on his body also returned to their previous bright red color.
Looking at the silly expression returning to Niu Geng's face, Aotian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Niu Geng, what happened to you earlier?" Aotian asked, somewhat apprehensively.
Niu Geng scratched his head and said, "Aotian, I don't really know what was going on with me. I just felt like I was filled with a very strange energy, and then I felt an overwhelming surge of power, as if I could smash the heavens with a single punch. But..."
"But what?"
"But I felt like my body was no longer under my control. It was as if there was another consciousness within me, a consciousness filled with destruction. After that power filled my body, I realized I couldn't control myself anymore; I was being controlled by that destructive consciousness." There was a hint of fear in Niu Geng's eyes.
The feeling of being the master of one's own body yet unable to control it was undoubtedly terrifying. It's no wonder Niu Geng showed signs of fear.
Aotian lowered his head and pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with an explanation. However, he vaguely sensed that the source of all this seemed to stem from Niu Geng's strange Bloodline...
