Aurora Town.
Angshi gathered three very reluctant officers.
All three were over sixty years old.
Brock, with a bald and shiny head, had only sparse white hair at the sides. But unlike the other two skinny old officers, his body carried muscles not inferior to those of younger spirit masters—he was practically a muscle demon.
Pat, gaunt and thin, bore countless scars all over his body. These were not from blades or swords, but burn marks—skin either blackened or pale white, grotesque from fire's kiss. He looked like a ghost crawling out from hellfire.
Bet, among the three, appeared the most normal. Just an ordinary, kindly looking old man.But anyone who looked closely into his eyes would see it—the coldness that viewed human life as nothing but ants.
The three were veterans of the organization, having seen countless storms.
But being ordered out this time to deal with a small spirit master squad?That hadn't happened in over a decade.
"Please, seniors, cooperate with me so we can complete the Boss's mission together."
Hearing Angshi's words, the three officers had nothing to say.
"Don't worry. Leave this matter about Tomato to us."
Finally, the oldest, Bet, spoke with assurance—guaranteeing the task would be done.
With that, the group set off directly toward the Ice Phosphor Powder base.
Inside the Frost-Snow Forest.
Xiaolin's team of five continued their journey.
It had been two or three days since their last ambush.
Now, they were searching for traces of the Comet Snow Wolf.
Or rather, they were tracking it.
Just a day ago, while Xiaolin was roasting bear paws and boiling snake soup, a strange beast appeared before them.
It looked part wolf, yet not—its body pure white, standing over four meters tall, bipedal like a dinosaur.
It stared at their roasted bear meat and snake stew, drooling with hunger.
At once, Xiaolin and the others summoned their martial souls in caution.
The spirit energy radiating from it was of a ten-thousand-year beast.
Xiaolin saw more clearly—its cultivation exceeded 23,000 years.
Had it not been injured, and had it not fled after seeing their vigilance, Xiaolin's group might have had new meat to eat.
But only after it escaped did Xiaolin realize with regret:That beast was precisely the one he sought—the Comet Snow Wolf.
When it ran, the tail behind it trailed like a comet's flaming tail.
Aside from its nearly perfect Ice attribute, Xiaolin also sensed something unusual in its energy.
A force even he couldn't define.
It wasn't exactly a Chaos attribute… but not wrong, either.
Only the Icefire Dragon King recognized it—It was indeed Chaos.
That very attribute gave the Comet Snow Wolf immense adaptability, allowing it to wield near-perfect ultimate Ice.
Letting it escape so carelessly—Xiaolin regretted bitterly.
He had searched for half a month, only to let the target brush right past him.
He even cursed the books for their inaccurate depictions.
The records described a wolf, yes, but no mention of its chicken-like talons—clearly more like dinosaur claws!
Now, since it had fled, Xiaolin's group could only continue the search.
He even had to simulate chunks of ultimate ice to lure it out, hoping the wolf would reappear.
And judging by its wounds, Xiaolin suspected they were left from fighting with the Fallen ones.
"Xiaolin, this won't work. The Comet Snow Wolf just won't show up."
Staring at other beasts brawling over an ice chunk, Shi Mo shook his head.
"True, that wolf's far too cautious."
His brother Shi Mo nodded, frowning.
Xiaolin exhaled a deep breath.
They had tried this trick five or six times, but the wolf never came.
Could it be that the Comet Snow Wolf didn't even like ultimate ice?
No…
"It's wounded. That makes it overly cautious. It won't appear where too many beasts gather."
"And even though its cultivation is high, among these beasts are many natural enemies of the wolf. Even weaker, they might still gang up on it and tear it apart for food."
Realization hit Xiaolin.
"Let's go. We'll find a more open area to lure it instead."
With that, Xiaolin led the team outward.
They reached a vast glacial plain.
There, Xiaolin placed another chunk of ultimate ice to bait the wolf.
And at last, Heaven rewarded persistence—
Three hours later, the Comet Snow Wolf appeared.
Hidden under snow, Xiaolin's group watched.
The wolf glanced left and right, its cunning fox-like eyes filled with suspicion. Its very nature seemed to have "cowardice" written into its DNA.
Seeing no one around, it cautiously approached the ice chunk.
"Shi Mo, Shi Mo."
Xiaolin whispered so low it was barely audible.
"Got it."
The Shi brothers communicated almost like telepathy, waiting until the wolf came close.
At the right moment, they would taunt it and pull its focus.
Three steps away…Two steps…One step!
"Martial Soul Possession! First Soul Skill—Black Tortoise Absorption!"
The brothers shouted in unison, releasing halos of energy that spread toward the wolf.
At once, the Comet Snow Wolf realized—it was a trap!
It turned to flee.
But Xiaolin was ready.
Summoning the Qiu Dragon Staff, he unleashed Threefold Shadow Lightning Flash and Heart of Flame.
Blue lightning blazed, nearly blinding the wolf.
It staggered, its path veering astray.
Then Xiaolin unleashed his True Body of the Spirit Weapon.
With its doubling effect, he flashed forward, blocking the wolf's path.
Now, what the wolf saw before it was—
Xiaolin, wrapped in golden flames and crimson-white qi, wielding his Dragon Staff.
He stood like a god beneath the aurora.
"ROAR!!"
Knowing it couldn't escape, the Comet Snow Wolf bellowed and charged at Xiaolin.
