The atmosphere in the car lightened with Lin's laughter, and the other two felt encouraged to join the conversation. Dream Source asked, "What did that old man at the restaurant say to you?"
"Oh, him? He's a person who lives and dies for his dreams. He told me a story about pursuing dreams..."
Lin replied while gazing out at the scenery.
This convoluted response left the two feeling confused, but they didn't press further; they guessed that Lin didn't want to elaborate.
For a moment, silence fell in the car as Flying Car slowly drove along the main road, not much faster than the pedestrians walking by.
After traveling a distance, the three aimlessly drove around until they reached a fork in the road, where a crowd blocked their path. It was then that they realized they had gone quite far.
The crowded area was none other than the main entrance of First Academy. The congestion wasn't due to many students registering but rather because of frenzied fans welcoming someone.
Valkyrie, Breaking the Ice.
Lin Ta and the others had heard about Breaking the Ice from some passersby, and with numerous enthusiastic fans holding signs and shouting at the entrance, they understood why it was so crowded.
"Brother, should we take another route?"
The way ahead was blocked, and taking another road would lead them to Second Academy, which would be much farther from Commercial District, prompting Xing Shifang to ask.
"Let's not go just yet. Find a place to stop and see this so-called Valkyrie."
"Is that okay?"
Casting a glance at the back seat, Xing Shifang subtly prompted Lin that the situation wasn't right.
In the back seat, Dream Source appeared less than enthusiastic about seeing Valkyrie; she clearly preferred to visit Commercial District instead.
"Don't you want to see what your competition is like?"
Lin saw Xing Shifang's prompt, coughed lightly, and sat up straight to ask the question. Xing Shifang nodded in agreement, responding loudly.
"What do you think, Yuan?"
Lin bit her lip and turned back to ask with a hint of mischief.
"I don't have any opinion!"
However, looking at Dream Source, she seemed somewhat distracted, possibly unaware of what Lin was asking. Her deep-set eyes appeared heavy with thoughts.
Perhaps the change in their relationship and distance made her uncomfortable; her mind seemed to be lost in contemplation.
After Lin managed to get through without noticing Dream Source's state, he exchanged a glance with Xing Shifang. The two excitedly opened the window to look out at the crowd.
They waited for quite a while. Valkyrie's presence was indeed grand; she arrived in a seated flying vehicle. In Wuyuan Star, few could afford to ride in such vehicles—not due to financial constraints, but as a symbol of status.
Only those of noble birth could board a flying vehicle. Even those privileged youths could only dream of such honor. The number of people who could ride in flying vehicles on Wuyuan Star did not exceed one hundred.
This clearly demonstrated First Academy's emphasis on Breaking the Ice; just based on Valkyrie's title, they sent a flying vehicle to pick her up.
The flying vehicle slowly landed in the open space outside, and the crowd parted automatically to make way for Valkyrie as she prepared to disembark. The eager youths howled like wolves.
"She's here! Valkyrie's here!"
Seeing the crowd's reaction, Lin frowned and rubbed his ears, saying, "Is it really that big of a deal…"
"It is!"
Xing Shifang nodded firmly. Even her grandfather regarded this as an opponent worthy of attention, so Valkyrie must be impressive enough to deserve such an entrance.
Amidst the discussions among Lin Ta and others, a crowd surged, with more and more people arriving to catch a glimpse of Valkyrie.
Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, the spacecraft finally opened, and three figures slowly descended from the blue beam of light below the craft.
One was a simple yet stylish alien girl, another was an elderly alien man with a white beard, and the person in the middle had their head lowered, with light blue hair tied in a ponytail. All three had pale skin, a sickly white that sent chills down Lin's spine; he could not discern what race they belonged to.
"This is Icebreaker Clan; the one in the middle should be Valkyrie Icebreaker," Xing Shifang explained, likely sensing Lin's confusion.
Lin nodded, pondering deeply and secretly astonished at how proud the Breaking the Ice family must be to name her after their race.
Looking back at the center of the venue, surrounding the three from Breaking the Ice, the Youths were wildly shouting "Valkyrie," with some even rushing forward to express their admiration.
The girl seemed accustomed to this scene and muttered softly, "These people are really annoying, buzzing around like flies."
The old man had a frosty expression; his brows furrowed tightly as he snorted in anger. "Today's youth are truly restless, completely clueless!"
His stern words seemed out of touch with the world, but his imposing presence was strong enough to command respect without anger; it was likely a result of holding a high position for many years.
"Flying Grandpa, don't be anxious; just let them disperse," the girl in the middle said softly. She then signaled to a girl behind her to relay the message. This girl was likely Valkyrie's attendant and obediently ran to the front.
The girl shouted at the crowd, "You all disperse! It's too noisy; you're bothering my sister!"
The surrounding shouts grew louder; how could this group of frenzied Youths be deterred by just one girl's words? Even Valkyrie's voice couldn't control them.
The situation was gradually spiraling out of control, with bold young nobles rushing forward, clutching flowers, attempting to recite the love poems they had memorized all night to Valkyrie.
However, she was not an ordinary girl; she was Valkyrie, and would certainly not give these inept scions any opportunity.
The excited crowd failed to notice that Valkyrie's emotions were fluctuating violently, and the temperature around her was plummeting rapidly. In just a moment, it became so cold that it sent shivers down people's spines, despite Wuyuan Star being warm and spring-like throughout the year.
"Brother, it's a bit cold. Can you feel it?"
Xing Shifang and Lindu shivered. They were already at a distance and could not see what was happening in between, so they were not affected by the frenzied atmosphere but still sensed the change in temperature.
Just as Lin was about to speak, he suddenly felt a flash of white light before his eyes. Something churned in his mind, and he experienced a sense of discomfort; every hair on his body stood on end.
It felt like an animal's primal instinct, sensing danger.
It was the new effect of Astrology, predicting the future. It was warning Lin that a threat capable of endangering his life was approaching!
"Trash! Get away!"
A sharp voice rang out from the center of the crowd as a figure leaped into the air, soaring over three meters high. The cold aura around her sometimes coalesced into ice shards and at other times rolled like a sea of clouds.
Boom!
As soon as the words left her mouth, the accumulated cold energy erupted, carrying Valkyrie's fury as it exploded outward, creating a massive shockwave that swept through the area!
