Ye Tian glanced at Xiao Wenjie and smiled. "I don't have any Ice Attribute Elixirs or Magic Crystals on me, but I can gather a large amount of Profound Ice Element Particles. I could even completely encase Dean Guan in Profound Ice."
When Xiao Wenjie heard this, his expression was one of utter astonishment. He asked Ye Tian excitedly, "Is that true? You can actually gather Profound Ice Particles? How is that possible? I find that hard to believe. Ye Tian, this is no time for jokes!"
Ye Tian knew these Profound Ice Element Particles were crucial for Guan Tianshui; they might be the key to saving him. "I'm not joking," he said. "If you don't believe me, watch this!"
As soon as Ye Tian spoke, his will reached out and began to communicate with the Water Element Particles in the air. Within a few breaths, he succeeded and began to resonate with them.
The Water Element contains many Profound Ice Element Particles. Ye Tian directly controlled these, and soon, a cluster of extremely cold Profound Ice Element Particles gathered in his palm, causing the ambient temperature to plummet.
Seeing Ye Tian gather the Profound Ice Element Particles, Xiao Wenjie felt as if he were dreaming. The extent of Ye Tian's growth was frightening. This display was a clear sign of his thorough mastery over the Water Element.
Water Element Particles weren't particularly volatile, but Profound Ice Element Particles were extremely so. Most people couldn't even endure their frigid temperature, let alone control them.
"Good! Excellent! Ye Tian, the fact that you can control Profound Ice Element Particles means Dean Guan can be saved! However, the amount you've gathered is still too small. It might take a very long time to treat him.
"I don't know how long you can sustain this, either. I think you should start treating Dean Guan with the Profound Ice Element Particles, and I'll head to the Imperial City to procure some Elixirs. That way, it'll be a foolproof plan!" said Xiao Wenjie.
"Haha, don't worry, Dean Xiao," Ye Tian chuckled. "If we need more Profound Ice Element Particles, I have a way. It would be effortless for me to freeze him solid with Profound Ice Particles."
"Are you serious? You're not deceiving me? You can really do that?" Xiao Wenjie asked Ye Tian, his face a mask of disbelief.
"How could I joke about a matter of life and death? Where is Dean Guan? Take me to him. Didn't he want to see me as well?" Ye Tian said.
Xiao Yaoyao, standing beside them, didn't say a word. She believed Ye Tian implicitly. The shocks he'd given her before were far greater than simply gathering Profound Ice Element Particles. 'After all, what does it mean to be someone who can slay even a Tier Five Demon Beast?'
'What's more, Ye Tian had even said he'd killed a Tier Six Demon Beast. For a genius like him, nothing was impossible.' She felt a swell of pride and honor to have a man like him.
"Alright then! I believe you can do it! Dean Guan is in the Gravity Chamber suppressing the Fire Poison. I'll take you there now. Yaoyao, you should come with us," Xiao Wenjie said.
Guan Tianshui was currently in the third Gravity Chamber. The gravity here wasn't overwhelming for him, but because he needed to suppress the Fire Poison, he didn't dare enter the chambers beyond it. Doing so would be counterproductive and only worsen his injuries. The gravity in this room, however, was just right.
After Xiao Wenjie opened the Stone Gate to the Gravity Chamber, he said, "He's in the third chamber right now. The gravity in there is still quite intense. Ye Tian, can you handle it? If not, I can bring him out to the second chamber."
Ye Tian just smiled faintly. "There's no need. The gravity in the third Gravity Chamber has no effect on me. Let's go."
'Are you kidding?' Ye Tian barely felt a thing in the third chamber. It was the same even in the fourth chamber, though his Dragon Scales would appear as the Fourth Layer of his Divine Dragon Battle Body activated passively. It was a bit frustrating. After he solved Guan Tianshui's problem, Ye Tian resolved to find a way to keep his Dragon Scales from manifesting.
Xiao Yaoyao and Xiao Wenjie were both a little startled by Ye Tian's words. For him to completely disregard the gravity in the third chamber... his Defense Power was truly terrifying.
Soon, the three of them entered the third chamber. Guan Tianshui was sitting on the floor. Even before they got close, they could clearly feel that the temperature inside was incredibly high, as if they had stepped into a sea of fire.
This was because Guan Tianshui was slowly forcing out the Fire Poison. The process was incredibly slow, however, and because the chamber wasn't very large, the temperature was rising rapidly.
Ye Tian glanced at Guan Tianshui, then turned to Xiao Wenjie. "Dean Xiao, what kind of Demon Beast injured him? I mean, Dean Guan is a Five Veins expert. Don't tell me you encountered a particularly terrifying Demon Beast?"
"Correct. He was injured by a Tier Five Demon Beast, a Bursting Red Tiger. We never expected its Fire Poison to be so potent; we all underestimated it. It seems Dean Guan's condition is far more serious than we imagined," Xiao Wenjie said, his voice laced with worry.
Ye Tian frowned slightly. He knew that most of the Water Element in the chamber had dissipated due to the intense heat. Even if he tried to gather what was left, he wouldn't be able to form many Profound Ice Element Particles.
'To save Guan Tianshui now, my only option is to ask the Profound Ice Pearl's Artifact Spirit inside my Storage Ring for help.' He was confident the Artifact Spirit would agree.
"I see. Wait here a moment. I'm going to begin treating Dean Guan, but whatever you see, I need you to keep it a secret for me," Ye Tian said with a very serious expression.
Seeing Ye Tian's grave expression, both Xiao Wenjie and Xiao Yaoyao knew he was about to reveal a terrifying secret; otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken like that.
"Don't worry, we won't say a thing! You know, your relationship with Yaoyao is anything but ordinary. Even though neither of you has said anything, it's plain to see! When the time is right, you'll have to change what you call me. You know what I mean!" Xiao Wenjie said.
At his words, a blush instantly crept up Xiao Yaoyao's gorgeous face, and Ye Tian felt a little awkward as well. But he quickly recovered and smiled. "Don't worry. I won't let you down!"
After speaking, his Divine Sense plunged into his Storage Ring with a thought, arriving swiftly before the Profound Ice Pearl.
"What brings you here today? Did you come all this way just to see me?" the Profound Ice Pearl's Artifact Spirit asked the moment Ye Tian arrived.
Ye Tian scanned his surroundings and found that the concentration of Profound Ice Particles was terrifyingly potent. If not for his own mastery over the Profound Ice Element, he likely would have been frozen solid by the extreme cold.
"I did come looking for you, actually. I've run into a bit of trouble and need your help. I was wondering if you'd be able to come out and help me?" Ye Tian asked in a serious toneβ¦
