After hearing his master's words, Xiao Huo Huo finally gained a clearer understanding of Luo Feng. It turned out that the strength Luo Feng had just displayed was merely the tip of the iceberg.
Xiao Huo Huo was now utterly frustrated.
They had arrived in the Ocean Survival World on the same day—why was the gap between them so vast?
Comparing oneself to others could truly be infuriating.
With this thought, Xiao Huo Huo hesitated no longer and directly tossed the Heavenly Flame Art to Luo Feng.
Since even his master admitted they stood no chance against Luo Feng, there was no need for further concern.
Luo Feng caught the Heavenly Flame Art thrown by Xiao Huo Huo and, in turn, handed over the Iceberg Snow Lotus in his possession. A smile spread across his face as he said, "Pleasure doing business.
If you come across any more good items in the future, feel free to trade with me again.
Honest merchant, fair deals for all."
Xiao Huo Huo couldn't help but roll his eyes at Luo Feng's words.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't defeat Luo Feng, he would have already knocked him out and taken all his Iceberg Snow Lotuses.
Without dwelling on it further, Xiao Huo Huo began inspecting the attributes of the Iceberg Snow Lotus, hoping the loss wouldn't be too severe.
Luo Feng examined the Heavenly Flame Art in his hand, sighing inwardly. He never expected to encounter such an item in the Ocean Survival World—it was truly an eye-opener.
Soon, the description of the Heavenly Flame Art appeared before Luo Feng.
[Heavenly Flame Art]
Grade: Outstanding (Upgradable)
Type: Cultivation Manual
Learning Condition: Mastery of Fire Attribute
Description: This manual is the supreme fire-attribute cultivation technique. By absorbing different special flames, the grade and power of the Heavenly Flame Art can be significantly enhanced.
Just as Luo Feng had anticipated.
Though the name differed slightly, the core functionality remained intact.
Without further delay, Luo Feng declared, "Learn Heavenly Flame Art."
"Ding! Congratulations, player meets the learning conditions. Heavenly Flame Art learning initiated."
As the game system's prompt faded, the Heavenly Flame Art transformed into a streak of red light that flew straight into Luo Feng's head.
Instantly, a wealth of knowledge flooded Luo Feng's mind.
Three minutes later...
"Ding! Congratulations, player has successfully learned the Heavenly Flame Art."
"Ding! Congratulations, after absorbing the Snow Lotus Ice Flame, the Heavenly Flame Art's grade has been upgraded from Outstanding to Epic."
Luo Feng was thoroughly satisfied with these results.
Even without awakening a related Talent this time, Luo Feng's control over Ice Fire wouldn't be inferior to someone with an S-Rank Talent.
Next, with a thought, the attributes of the Iceberg Snow Lotus appeared before Luo Feng.
[Iceberg Snow Lotus]
Grade: Legendary
Age: Millennium
Description: This Iceberg Snow Lotus took a thousand years to mature, growing exclusively in extreme cold environments. Only upon reaching full maturity does it emerge from the iceberg.
Function: The Iceberg Snow Lotus contains immense frost energy, along with traces of Ice Fire attributes. Consuming a single petal can drastically enhance one's strength.
If kept in a specific area for an extended period, the Iceberg Snow Lotus can transform the surroundings into a frozen, snow-covered landscape.
Luo Feng studied the description but found nothing particularly extraordinary. He couldn't fathom why the Snowman Brothers were so desperate for the Iceberg Snow Lotus.
Now that both the Iceberg Snow Lotus and Ice Fire were in his possession, Luo Feng had no reason to linger here any longer.
"Leaving now. Want to come with me?"
Xiao Huo Huo was studying the Iceberg Snow Lotus, and upon seeing its properties, a smile spread across his face. The Iceberg Snow Lotus would be of immense use to him at this moment.
His strength could skyrocket in a short time.
Hearing Luo Feng's words, he chuckled and said, "Thanks for the offer, Shura, but I'll cultivate here for a while.
After all, this is the birthplace of the Iceberg Snow Lotus and Ice Fire. Training here will be highly effective."
"Alright, then I'll take my leave first. If you come across anything good, don't hesitate to trade with me—I won't shortchange you."
Luo Feng had no intention of staying any longer. He needed to hurry to the Snow Country to sleep with Tang Xuewei.
A matter of life and death like this couldn't be delayed.
Soon, Luo Feng and Tang Xuewei arrived at the edge of the Ice Sea, accompanied by Xiao Huo Huo, who had come to see them off.
Though Luo Feng had taken the Ice Fire, Xiao Huo Huo had obtained the Iceberg Snow Lotus, which would allow him to rapidly boost his strength in a short time.
This way, he'd have the confidence to complete the mission of leaving Sea Zone 9527.
Would there be any special rewards for being the first to leave the Novice Sea Territory 9527?
Though Xiao Huo Huo wasn't as strong as Luo Feng, he knew far more than Luo Feng did.
This time, he couldn't let Luo Feng beat him to it again.
If he ran into Luo Feng while completing the mission, he'd probably die of frustration on the spot.
When they reached the Ice Sea's edge, Luo Feng turned to Xiao Huo Huo and said, "No need to see us off any further. We'll meet again if fate allows."
"Alright, safe travels. I'll stay here a while longer before leaving. Until next time."
Though Xiao Huo Huo said this, he had no desire to see Luo Feng again.
This encounter with Luo Feng had brought him no benefits—only the loss of his Heavenly Flame Art.
His master would need untold time and effort to recreate another copy.
At least the Iceberg Snow Lotus offered some consolation.
Luo Feng gazed at the Ice Sea before him and, with a thought, recalled the Black Tortoise.
There was no need for it now—he could cross the Ice Sea alone.
Not only Xiao Huo Huo but even Tang Xuewei and Ice Rabbit were puzzled by Luo Feng's action.
Hadn't he said he was leaving? Why recall the Black Tortoise now?
Was he staying after all?
Just as they were wondering, they suddenly saw Luo Feng step onto the Ice Sea.
What followed was a breathtaking sight.
The moment Luo Feng's right foot touched the surface, the sea instantly froze beneath him, spreading rapidly forward from his step.
A path of ice formed across the Ice Sea.
Without turning back, Luo Feng said, "Let's go. This time, we'll walk back. The Black Tortoise is upgrading, so we won't use it as transport for now."
Luo Feng had just fed the Black Tortoise three Iceberg Snow Lotuses.
Having consumed such an energy-rich meal, the Black Tortoise was now stuffed—suffering from a bit of indigestion.
When the Black Tortoise appears next time, it will become even more powerful.
Tang Xuewei and Ice Rabbit didn't hesitate at all upon hearing Luo Feng's words and immediately followed him.
They had only walked a short distance when the Frost Sharks in the Ice Sea began closing in on them.
