People are in the magic card, instigating rebellion against the world.

Chapter 142: Capturing the Frozen Card and Making a Promise to Sakura~
"In Hong Kong, we usually only wear a light jacket in winter. I've never experienced such cold weather in my life! The wind chills you to the bone! It's so annoying!"

As she spoke, she moved closer to the radiator, almost touching it.

"You don't need to worry about us, you guys go eat by yourselves. We'll go buy things later." Li Xiaolang also spoke up, his tone still indifferent, but you could tell he really didn't want to move.

He had fallen several times on the ice and was cold now, so he just wanted to stay near the heater a little longer.

"Then... that's fine."

Seeing that the two of them were adamant and had no intention of coming over, Sakura had no choice but to carry the hot cocoa back.

"Aren't they coming?" Tomoyo asked softly, looking at her.

Sakura shook her head and sat back down in her seat: "Well, Meiling said she's especially afraid of the cold and doesn't want to leave the heater for even a moment. Li also said she wants to stay a little longer."

"Then let's eat by ourselves, don't worry about them." Ye Hui smiled, no longer dwelling on it, and took out the lunchbox he had prepared in advance from his storage ring.

Their lunchboxes were designed before Tomoyo.

The outer shell is light pink, light purple, and light blue.

It's covered in tiny cherry blossom patterns, which looks exquisite and pleasing to the eye.

Sakura eagerly opened the bento box, which contained various adorable rice balls and side dishes.

The rice was shaped into little rabbits and bears, with seaweed cut into eyes and mouths and pasted on them. Next to it were carrots and cherry tomatoes cut into star shapes, and a small portion of fried chicken.

It's both cute and delicious.

"Look! This bento was made for me by Yukito-nii and Onii-chan!" Sakura picked up her chopsticks, pointed to the rabbit-shaped rice ball in the bento box, and said proudly to Hikaru and Tomoyo, her eyes sparkling with laughter, "Yukito-nii said that making it cute would make me have a better appetite~"

Looking at the food in the bento box, Tomoyo couldn't help but exclaim, "Uncle Fujitaka and Yukito-kun are so good at cooking! It's not only delicious, but it also looks so beautiful. They clearly put a lot of effort into it."

"Hehehe..." Sakura was a little embarrassed by Tomoyo's praise, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she gently held her chopsticks with both hands, but her eyes were still fixed on the rabbit rice ball in the bento box.

She carefully picked up the rabbit-shaped rice ball, stared at the seaweed eyes on it for a long time, and a conflicted expression appeared on her face.

"The Snow Rabbit is so cute, I almost don't want to eat it..."

Although she said that, the hunger in her stomach eventually won out, and she stuffed the rabbit rice ball into her mouth and chewed it in small bites.

The sweet aroma of the rice blends with the salty and savory flavor of the seaweed, creating a soft and sticky texture that instantly fills your taste buds.

"Mmm~! So delicious!" She squinted her eyes happily, a little rice still stuck to the corner of her mouth, looking very satisfied.

Ye Hui blinked.

He was about to say, "If you can't bear to eat it, then give it to him."

The next second, Sakura gulped it down in one go.

They really have a deep bond.
The three sat around the table, eating their bento boxes and chatting about their afternoon practice plans. They occasionally reminisced about the funny things that happened on the ice rink that morning, creating a relaxed atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the Li siblings on the other side are in a rather tragic situation.

Li Meiling squatted next to the heater, her eyes glancing in the direction of Ye Hui and the others from time to time.

Seeing Sakura eating with such a happy expression, her own stomach started growling uncontrollably.

Damn it! She really wants a hot bento box too!
But the warm air from the heater was so comforting that she really didn't want to leave this only source of warmth.

I can only struggle between wanting to eat and being afraid of the cold.

Just as she was struggling with this internal conflict.

Ye Hui suddenly walked over with a steaming cup of spiritual tea and handed it to her.

"Here, this is for you. Drinking it will warm you up."

Li Meiling was stunned for a moment, looking at the steaming teacup in front of her, then at Ye Hui, and asked in disbelief, "For...for me?"

"Otherwise what? Would I really come all this way just to have a couple of drinks in front of you?" Ye Hui raised an eyebrow, a hint of teasing in his voice.

Li Meiling hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and took the teacup. The warmth from the cup made her relax.

"Th...thank you," she said softly.

[Li Meiling's mood score +10]

She held the hot tea, took a small sip, and a warm current slid down her throat into her stomach, quickly spreading to her limbs and bones.

My hands and feet, which were just frozen stiff, gradually warmed up, and even my breathing became easier.

Ye Hui glanced at Li Xiaolang, who was still "shutting himself in" beside him.

He kept his head down, pretending to look at the ground, but occasionally glanced in this direction out of the corner of his eye.

Ye Hui thought for a moment, then took out another cup of spiritual tea from his storage ring and handed it over.

Li Xiaolang raised his head, glanced at Ye Hui, his eyes filled with a complex expression, and his lips moved.

In the end, he said nothing and silently accepted the teacup.

[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +11]

Looking at your genius disciple Li Xiaolang and the body-cultivating girl Li Meiling, whom you've completely manipulated, you feel a wicked sense of satisfaction. You easily won their hearts with just a cup of spiritual tea!

Ye Hui turned around and went back to Sakura and Tomoyo's side.

Sakura had finished her bento box with great satisfaction and was now tidying up the empty lunchbox.

I can go out and have fun with my best friend, and I can also eat the loving bento boxes made by Snow Rabbit Brother and his brother.

For her, it was the happiest thing in the world!

"Let's go back and keep practicing!" Sakura stood up, brushed the crumbs off her skirt, her eyes full of determination. "I'm determined to learn ice dancing today, and then make Ye Huijun keep his promise!"

"I also support Sakura. You can definitely do it."

Tomoyo smiled and nodded, then carefully put her lunchbox into her backpack.

Ye Hui looked at Xiaoying's spirited appearance and shook his head with a smile.

Sakura's enthusiasm always comes and goes quickly.

But once they have a clear goal, their indomitable spirit is unmatched.

The three packed up their things, returned to the rental area, changed into ice skates and protective gear, and went back to the ice rink.

There were more people on the ice rink now than in the morning. Many students had finished lunch and came back early to practice. The ice was bustling with activity as people moved about.

"Sakura, let's start by reviewing the most basic gliding and turning techniques. Once we've mastered the movements, we can gradually weave them together into dance steps."

Ye Hui glided to Xiaoying's side, slowed down, and matched her rhythm to begin the afternoon's lesson.

"Try gliding in a straight line first, and be careful to keep your balance. Don't straighten your knees too much."

Sakura obediently nodded, gently pushed off with her feet, and slid forward.

This time, her movements were more stable than in the morning, and her gliding path was much straighter, no longer as wobbly as before.

Looking at Xiaoying's serious expression, Ye Hui couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

He was quite curious about what kind of requests Sakura could make.

"You can now glide skillfully on your own. The next focus of your practice is on maintaining body stability while gliding, as well as controlling speed and direction."

Ye Hui slowed down and kept parallel to Xiaoying while demonstrating and explaining, "For example, when turning, you should tilt your center of gravity slightly inward and find the right angle for your skate blades so that you can glide steadily and turn smoothly."

"Okay! I got it!" Sakura nodded vigorously and tried to turn, following Ye Hui's movements.

This time, she didn't slip like before.

Although his movements were still a bit clumsy, he successfully completed a full turn and a happy smile immediately appeared on his face.

It must be said that Sakura's athletic talent is truly top-notch.

With Ye Hui's patient guidance, she mastered the core skills of ice skating in just half a day.

It can not only control speed and direction freely, but also smoothly complete turning, changing direction and other actions.

It can even glide to a simple rhythm.

Tomoyo gracefully glided to Sakura's side, pointed her camera at her, and asked with a smile, "Sakura, are you ready? You can start trying to string the movements together into a dance."

"Okay! Ready!" Sakura took a deep breath, skated to the center of the ice rink, stopped, and slowly assumed a dance starting pose.

Gently raise both hands, bend your knees slightly, and lean your body slightly forward.

Although it was just the simplest starting movement, her lively eyes and graceful posture exuded an indescribable cuteness and vitality.

Ye Hui leaned against the railing and quietly watched the girl dancing gracefully on the ice.

She glided to the rhythm of her own humming. Although her movements were still immature, they were full of energy. The way she stuck out her tongue when she made a mistake was so endearing that it made people smile.

His lips unconsciously turned up, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

Not far away, Li Xiaolang also stopped practicing, his gaze falling on Xiaoying, his brows slightly furrowed, seemingly lost in thought.

Just then, the temperature inside the skating rink dropped a few degrees without warning.

Squatting next to the radiator, Li Meiling couldn't help but shiver and muttered, "Hiss... why does it feel colder and colder? The radiator doesn't seem to be working anymore."

She wrapped her down jacket tighter around herself, looked up at Ye Hui and the other two still full of energy on the ice rink, and felt a surge of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

hateful!

Why do they seem so unafraid of the cold and still have so much fun?

The afternoon practice time passed quickly, and before we knew it, it was almost time to gather.

Sakura can already skate a simple dance on the ice.

Although the movements were not complicated, they were fluid and smooth, full of her unique style.

"That's great! Sakura! You did a wonderful job!" Tomoyo immediately slid over and gave Sakura a big hug, praising her.

"Hehe... I'm glad I didn't let Ye Huijun down." Sakura's face was flushed with excitement, and her eyes were sparkling.

Ye Hui skated over and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Sakura, you did it!"

“Then…then our promise…” Sakura immediately raised her head, looking at Ye Hui with anticipation and excitement in her eyes.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +11]

"Of course it counts." Ye Hui nodded, his tone serious. "Tell me, what do you want me to grant you? Anything I can do, I will."

Just as Sakura took a deep breath, preparing to speak her request...

The temperature inside the ice rink suddenly dropped sharply.

A bone-chilling cold instantly swept through the entire venue, much colder than ever before!

"It's so...so cold! Why is it suddenly so cold?"

"Is the heating broken? My hands are frozen!"

"Quick! Let's go to the lounge and warm up first!"

The students who were still practicing on the ice rink stopped their movements one after another. In the blink of an eye, they were shivering from the cold, covered their hands with their mouths and breathed on them, rubbing their hands together as they walked towards the rest room.

However, it was too late.

"Crack...knock..."

A crisp sound of ice forming suddenly rang out, and frost began to spread from the center of the ice rink at a visible speed.

The originally smooth ice surface was instantly covered with a thick layer of white frost.

Sharp icicles, gleaming with a cold luster, quickly formed on the walls, railings, and even in the corners of the ceiling.

A chill far exceeding that of an ordinary winter swept through the entire skating rink!

The students' clothes quickly became covered with a thin layer of frost, and even their breath was accompanied by white mist.

The next second, the expressions on the faces of the people who were still moving froze instantly, and their bodies remained in various poses, as if a pause button had been pressed. Then they were encased in a thick layer of ice and turned into ice sculptures.

The entire skating rink fell into a deathly silence, with only the cracking sound of the ice spreading and the suffocating chill in the air.

"What... what's going on?" Sakura stared wide-eyed at her classmates and teachers who had been frozen solid, and asked in shock.

One second the ice rink was bustling, the next it turned into a deathly silent ice cellar. This change left her momentarily stunned.

"It's a frozen brand." Ye Hui didn't hesitate and decisively revealed the secret.

He looked at the spreading ice.

Haha, this frozen brand is making such a big splash right off the bat.

Not only did they interrupt Sakura's request, they also dragged the entire ice rink into crisis.

"Everyone's turned into ice sculptures?!" Sakura quickly realized what was happening. Looking at Mr. Terada and her classmates encased in ice, her face was filled with anxiety, and her hands clenched into fists. "We have to find a way to rescue them as soon as possible!"

[Your sect, the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect, has been ambushed by a powerful ice-elemental expert from a rival sect! This expert unleashed his supreme divine power—"Frozen Ten Thousand Miles"—transforming the entire sect into a frozen wasteland! All disciples have been frozen into ice sculptures, their fates unknown!]

[The Heavenly Spirit Root disciple, Kinomoto Sakura, the Dharma Protector, Daidouji Tomoyo, and the genius disciple, Li Xiaolang, narrowly escaped death thanks to their profound cultivation! Under their protection, you too are unharmed. But you know that if this ice seal isn't broken quickly, tens of thousands of lives within the sect will be annihilated!]

[Sakura Kinomoto has decided to step forward, find the hidden ice-type powerhouse, defeat him, and save the entire sect from peril! And you… hehehe, you've already planned how to steal her credit!]

[You have refreshed the character side quest – "The Frozen Trial"!]

Ye Hui rubbed his forehead.

Isn't the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect a very powerful sect? How come the entire sect is frozen?

System, your script has ruined your character...

However, what Ye Hui found even stranger was that these people were all frozen, which should have made it difficult for them to survive.

But he could sense the abundant vitality within everyone's body.

They felt even more energetic than before they were frozen.
Good heavens, this frozen capsule is more suitable for human interstellar travel than any hibernation pod.
That's why Ye Hui watched Dongpai make his move, but didn't stop him directly.

"Where's the frozen card?" Sakura looked around.

But apart from the vast expanse of white snow and the frozen figures, nothing could be seen.

"It's right under this ice."

A voice came from not far away, and the next moment, Li Xiaolang and Li Meiling slid over.

Thanks to the spiritual tea Ye Hui had given them, the warmth within it protected their bodies, preventing Li Meiling from being frozen by the magic.

Li Xiaolang's gaze was fixed on the ice beneath his feet. His expression was serious as he stated with certainty, "I can feel a powerful magical force moving rapidly beneath the ice. It's very fast and highly unstable."

"Then what should we do? Just pull it out of the ice? That's impossible, isn't it?" Li Meiling still looked dejected.

Although the spiritual tea helped ward off some of the cold, the low temperature caused by the frozen tablet still made her feel cold all over, and she was shivering as she spoke.

Ye Hui stroked his chin and analyzed, "The Frozen Token moves very fast inside the ice, and the ice layer is getting thicker and thicker. It's really not easy to force it out directly. It can use the power of the ice layer to enhance its abilities. If we fight it head-on, we will be at a great disadvantage."

He remembered that in the original story, Sakura was in a really awkward position when she faced the Frozen Card.

The most effective way to deal with frozen tiles is actually fire.

Fire can melt ice and snow and suppress ice-type powers.

The problem is, Sakura doesn't have any Fire cards right now.

He wasn't particularly proficient in fire-based spells and hadn't specifically trained in related techniques.

The only thing he could use extensively was the fire-controlling talisman he had previously crafted.

However, the power of the Fire Control Talisman is limited, and whether it can trap the Frozen Talisman remains to be seen.

Of course, with his current strength, even without the corresponding techniques or supernatural abilities, he could directly suppress the frozen card and capture it.

Therefore, if we are confident, we can try to operate it for Sakura.

Just as they were discussing countermeasures, the ice beneath their feet suddenly shook violently, and tiny cracks appeared on the surface of the ice.

"Watch out!" Ye Hui warned, pulling Sakura and Tomoyo closer to him. A blue light flashed past from beneath the ice, too fast to discern its outline.

Immediately afterwards, sharp ice spikes suddenly burst from under the ice, carrying a fierce chill, and pierced straight towards Li Meiling, who was closest to them!
"Meiling, watch out!" Li Xiaolang reacted quickly, pushing Li Meiling aside.

The ice pick grazed Li Meiling's down jacket as it flew past, then with a thud, embedded itself in the wall behind her.

Ice fragments were scattered all over the ground, and a layer of white frost instantly formed on the wall.

"That was...that was close..." Li Meiling looked at the icicle on the wall that was still emitting white steam, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on her back, her voice trembling.

The tip of the ice spike was incredibly sharp; if I had been a fraction slower, I would probably have had several more holes in my body.

"Watch out, everyone! It's going to attack again!" Tomoyo's voice rang out just in time. She gripped the camera tightly, her eyes fixed on the ice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ice beneath their feet trembled violently once more, and cracks on the surface of the ice spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This time, Frozen Cards targeted Li Xiaolang.

Dozens of sharp icicles burst forth from the ground around him, the icicles being extremely close together, forming an airtight ice cage that sealed off all his escape routes, leaving not even a gap.

"Little Wolf!" Li Meiling exclaimed, wanting to rush over to help, but the vibration of the ice surface almost made her fall.

Li Xiaolang remained calm. He quickly pulled out several yellow talismans from his pocket, held them between his fingers, and rapidly chanted incantations.

"Summon the God of Fire! So be it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the talisman instantly ignited without fire, transforming into several orange-red fire snakes that, carrying scorching heat, rushed towards the surrounding ice spikes.

The moment the fire serpent collided with the ice cone, it hissed and a large amount of water vapor gushed out, quickly forming a white mist that blurred the view.

"Wow, that's pretty impressive..." Sakura blinked and exclaimed as she looked at the flickering firelight in the white mist.

Li Xiaolang's talisman was more powerful than she had imagined; it would be more than enough to deal with ordinary Clow Cards.

However, Ye Hui shook his head, fully aware of the situation.

Li Xiaolang is indeed quite strong, but today he's facing a frozen opponent.

In this frozen skating rink, surrounded by ice and snow, the power of the Frozen Card can be multiplied.

In this low-temperature environment, Li Xiaolang's fire-type talismans would be greatly suppressed in power, and he would not be able to exert his full strength.

Sure enough, after a short while, the water vapor gradually dissipated.

Although some of the ice spikes were melted by the fire snakes and their tips became somewhat rounded, they did not completely disappear. They still firmly surrounded Li Xiaolang, trapping him in place.

Worse still, the melted ice water on the surface quickly refreezes at low temperatures, forming a thicker and more solid layer of ice.

It even froze Li Xiaolang's feet firmly to the ground, making it difficult for him to move.

Li Xiaolang tried to struggle, but the ice beneath his feet remained unmoved. Instead, his movements caused several small cracks to appear.

A blue light streaked across the ice at incredible speed, as if mocking his overestimation of his abilities.

Ye Hui stood aside and watched.

He actually had many ways to rescue Li Xiaolang, but he didn't act immediately.

Capturing the Clow Cards is Sakura's domain.

Although the Frozen Cards are powerful, they are not fatal, which is a good opportunity for Sakura to gain experience and become familiar with the characteristics of different Clow Cards.

So rather than letting him save Syaoran directly, it's better to let Sakura do it.

Sakura reacted quickly when she saw Li Xiaolang trapped. She immediately drew a sword card from her deck, and with a flash of light, she gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands.

She took a deep breath and slashed down hard at the ice layer that was trapping Li Xiaolang.

Swish!
A flash of sword light, ice shards scattered, leaving a deep sword mark on the ice.

However, the ice layer itself did not completely crack and remained solid.

"So hard! How could this be? Even the sword shield couldn't be broken?" Sakura looked at the sword mark, her eyes widening in surprise.

She hadn't expected that the ice layer formed by the frozen tablet would be so hard that even the sword tablet couldn't easily break through it.

You know, a sword can even cut a shield in half!
Ye Hui sighed and reminded her, "Sakura, the magic of the wild Clow Cards is getting stronger and stronger. They recover very quickly, especially now that we're at an ice rink."

"The advantage of the sword card is its sharpness, which is suitable for cutting solids, but it is not suitable for dealing with Clow Cards like the Frozen card, which can manipulate ice and snow."

"Now that the Fire Card is unavailable, you need to find its original form before you can seal it with the Sealing Staff. Brute force alone won't work."

Sakura pursed her lips shyly: "I just wanted to see if I could split the ice, but I didn't expect it to be so hard."

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +12]

Sakura returned empty-handed.

But Frozen seemed to be angered by Sakura's actions.

It stopped toying with the trapped Li Xiaolang and instead targeted Sakura.

The ice surface began to tremble violently.

The ice beneath Sakura's feet suddenly caved in.

An ice vortex quickly formed, as if it wanted to suck her in completely.

"Sakura!" Tomoyo frowned, somewhat worried.

She tried to skate over to help, but the vibrations on the ice made it difficult for her to maintain her balance.

"Tomoyo-chan, trust Sakura, she can handle it," Ye Hui said softly, trying to comfort her.

However, despite saying this, his eyes remained fixed on the movements on the ice rink, his fingers slightly tense, ready to intervene immediately should Sakura encounter any danger she couldn't handle.

Sakura watched as the ice vortex beneath her feet expanded, icy cold air rising from it, almost freezing her ankles.

But she didn't panic. Instead, she took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

At the same time, the combat techniques Ye Hui taught her flashed through her mind, and she also recalled her experience fighting against the giant monster alongside Tomoyo in the Tower of Trials.

First, observe the environment and look for weaknesses!

"Fly!" Without the slightest hesitation, Sakura quickly drew the Flying Card. The card flashed in the air, and a pair of transparent wings instantly appeared on both sides of her magic wand.

She rode on her magic wand, her body slowly rising into the air, steadily avoiding being swallowed by the ice vortex, and hovering in mid-air.

Not bad!
Ye Hui nodded to himself.

His Sakura really does get stronger when facing stronger opponents!
The more dangerous the situation, the more amazing potential can be unleashed!
Even his reaction speed seemed much faster than usual.

[Under your long-term PUA... no, I mean, your meticulous guidance, Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, has finally learned to use her brain in battle! She's no longer that reckless girl who only charges headlong into things! Watching her agile figure soaring through the air, you feel disdain; now she's more like a worthy rival to you!]

Ye Hui: “…”

What is PUA? This is clearly patiently guiding "education of love"!
Moreover, how did those people manage to include such trivial terms when designing the database?
Seeing that its attack had missed, Frozen Card began to swim rapidly beneath the ice.

The ice surface was churned up, creating waves that seemed to turn the entire skating rink upside down.

Immediately afterwards, a huge ice pillar as thick as a bucket suddenly shot up from under the ice, carrying a sharp chill, and crashed straight towards Sakura in mid-air.

The surface of the icicle is also covered with tiny icicles. If you hit one, the consequences would be unimaginable, and you would definitely be covered in blood!

Li Xiaolang's pupils suddenly contracted; he hadn't expected the Frozen Card's attack to be so fierce.

Without thinking, he immediately pulled out a yellowed talisman from his pocket.

This was his most treasured talisman, originally intended for use in emergencies.

Of course, this is an emergency situation right now.

However, just as he was about to take action...

Ye Hui suddenly appeared in front of him and gently pressed his hand down.

"Don't worry, Li." Ye Hui's voice was calm, but carried an undeniable strength. "Trust Xiaoying, she will find a way to deal with it."

Li Xiaolang was stunned.

He looked at Ye Hui's determined eyes, then at Kinomoto Sakura, who remained calm despite her nervousness in mid-air, and finally slowly lowered his hand.

[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +10]

In mid-air, Sakura looked at the giant ice pillar coming towards her, but instead of being afraid, her dark green eyes sparkled with excitement.

Just as the icicle rose, she keenly noticed a detail.

Beneath the ice at the base of the icicle, a blue figure flashed by at incredible speed, yet it did not escape her notice.

"I've found you!" Sakura instantly knew the answer in her heart. That blue figure must be the true form of the Frozen Card!

Instead of dodging, she flapped her wings and swooped down towards the icicle.

This action caused Li Meiling on the ground to gasp in surprise, but it made Ye Hui and Zhi Shi smile knowingly.

Ye Hui watched Xiaoying's actions and nodded in satisfaction.

Sakura not only learned to use her brain in battle, but also learned to actively seek out the enemy's weaknesses instead of passively defending herself.

This rate of growth even surprised him, the teacher.

In mid-air, Sakura skillfully circled around the ice pillar, with gusts of wind blowing past her, dispelling the cold air.

While dodging the icicles falling from its surface, she kept a close eye on what was happening beneath the ice.

Finally, just as the icicle was about to reach the top, the blue figure reappeared, preparing to slip away from the bottom of the icicle.

"Found it!" Sakura's eyes lit up instantly.

She swiftly raised her sealing staff, aimed it at the blue figure, and chanted rapidly: "Restore your original form! Clow Card!"

As the words fell.

A beam of golden light shot out from the tip of the sealing staff, striking the blue figure beneath the ice with pinpoint accuracy.

The frozen plate emitted a faint buzzing sound.

The raging ice waves gradually subsided, and the huge ice pillars began to melt.

It eventually transformed into a Clow Card with an ice and snow pattern, which slowly floated into Sakura's hand.

"Success!" Sakura flapped her wings and landed back on the ground from mid-air. Her steps were still a little unsteady, but she couldn't hide the joy on her face.

She ran quickly to Ye Hui and Zhi Shi, holding up the Frozen Card high to show off her spoils: "Ye Hui-kun, Zhi Shi-chan, I did it! I captured the Frozen Card myself!"

"Yeah! Sakura was amazing!" Tomoyo stepped forward, gave Sakura a hug, and said proudly, "You looked so cool when you were fighting so seriously!"

"Well done, Sakura." Ye Hui smiled and ruffled Sakura's hair, then took the frozen card from her hand.

The luster on the card gradually faded, restoring it to its original Clow Card appearance.

[Through your perfectly orchestrated plan, you successfully stole the credit from Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Root. You have once again demonstrated your cunning and strategic brilliance!]

[You not only successfully averted the annihilation crisis of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect, but you also made a huge splash! You believe your prestige has reached an unparalleled level!]

[Congratulations on completing the character side quest "The Frozen Trial"! You have obtained the reward ability "Absolute Zero"!]

As the ice seal was removed, the chill in the skating rink quickly dissipated.

The ice that originally covered the walls and railings began to melt, dripping onto the ground and forming small streams of water.

The students, who had been frozen solid, gradually regained their mobility.

They first twitched their fingers slightly, then their bodies slowly stretched out, and the stiffness on their faces gradually faded.

"Huh? What happened to me just now? I think I suddenly fell asleep, my body was all stiff." A classmate said, moving his arms in confusion.

"Yeah, I felt that way too! I think I even saw myself frozen into an ice sculpture in a daze. Thinking about it now still makes me feel cold." Another classmate chimed in, rubbing his shoulder.

The students gathered together, discussing amongst themselves, looking completely bewildered, yet they had no recollection of what had just happened.

"Thank goodness, everyone's back to normal, and no one's been hurt." Sakura looked at the now bustling ice rink and breathed a long sigh of relief, her tense nerves finally relaxing.

“Sakura, I was so worried for you when you were looking for the frozen token in mid-air just now,” Tomoyo said. “But I knew you could do it.”

"Hehe... Actually, I was a little nervous too, but luckily I found it in the end." Sakura smiled shyly, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Looking at the smile in Sakura's eyes, Ye Hui said earnestly, "Congratulations, Sakura. This time, you relied entirely on your own strength to find the weakness of the Frozen Card—that it must be close to the ice surface to activate its power—and subdued it. You saved everyone!"

"No way..." Sakura quickly waved her hand, "If Ye Huijun hadn't reminded me beforehand to find the original form of the Frozen Card, and if Tomoyo hadn't been there to keep an eye on things for me, I definitely wouldn't have been able to succeed so quickly."

"Well, this time it's all thanks to you." Ye Hui shook his head. "You stayed calm in the face of danger and were able to actively observe the Frozen Card's movements and find its weaknesses. That's more important than any warning."

Seeing Sakura's embarrassed expression, Ye Hui couldn't help but laugh and said indulgently, "Hey~ Our Sakura is just that amazing, no need to be modest."

Hearing his straightforward praise, Sakura's cheeks flushed even more, and her ears turned a light red. She subconsciously lowered her head, her fingers gently twisting the hem of her clothes.

How did it end up in our house?

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +18]

At this moment, Ye Hui and his group walked towards the direction where the crowd was gathering.

Sakura ran quickly to Terada-sensei and asked with concern, "Terada-sensei, are you alright?"

"Ah? It's Kinomoto-kun." Terada-sensei was still a little dazed. He rubbed his temples. "I'm fine. I just feel like I slept for a long time. My body is still a bit stiff. It must be because it's too cold here. I should feel better after moving around a bit."

"Teacher, it's probably because the heating in the skating rink malfunctioned a bit, and the temperature dropped too low all of a sudden, which is why everyone feels stiff," Ye Hui stepped forward and explained calmly.

“That’s what I think too.” Mr. Terada nodded. He glanced at the students around him who were also moving around, and then at the icy stains still dripping from the ceiling. “It seems that the heating here is indeed malfunctioning. I’ll have to tell the staff at the skating rink later.”

Although a slight unease lingered in his mind, seeing that his classmates had all returned to normal, Mr. Terada didn't dwell on it any longer. He turned around and began to organize the students to gather and prepare to count the number of students.

"Since the heating is out of order and everyone has caught a chill, let's end our ice skating activity early today."

Mr. Terada clapped his hands, attracting the students' attention.

"Everyone, go to the lounge and have a hot drink to warm up. Meet at the door in thirty minutes, and we'll get ready to take the bus back to school."

The students nodded in agreement. After the sudden cold snap, they had lost all interest in continuing to skate and just wanted to get back to a warm place as soon as possible.

On the bus back.

Tomoyo took out a camera from her backpack, quietly pulled Sakura aside, and whispered, "Sakura, you looked so cool on the ice just now! I recorded you looking for the ice cream cone, you should take a look."

She opened the video, and the screen immediately showed Sakura riding her magic wand, diving down towards the giant ice pillar.

During battle, Sakura's eyes are firm and her movements are swift, showing no trace of her usual absent-mindedness.

"Really?" Sakura was a little embarrassed by the compliment. She leaned closer to the screen, looking at herself on the screen, her face flushing slightly. She muttered softly, "Wow... I look pretty amazing."

"It's not just a feeling, it's truly amazing!" Tomoyo looked at her. "From the initial difficulties in using magic to now being able to calmly find the enemy's weaknesses in dangerous situations, Sakura has become an outstanding Cardcaptor Sakura!"

"No way... I still have a lot to improve on." Sakura said modestly, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, and she couldn't suppress it.

It feels so good to be sincerely praised like this by my best friend!
Sakura felt a warm glow inside.

Ye Hui sat in the seat behind them, listening to the two girls' quiet conversation. Looking at Xiaoying's profile, which couldn't hide her smile, a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

Sakura usually seems a bit naive and carefree.

But when they get serious, they are truly captivating.

[You watch as Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, and Daidouji Tomoyo, a protector of the sect, flatter each other, filled with disdain. What's there to be so happy about? This sect is indeed rife with deceit and treachery; they say one thing to your face and another behind your back!]

The bus took everyone back to school.

Upon arriving at the school gate, the students disembarked one after another.

Ye Hui, Xiao Ying, and Zhi Shi also packed their things and prepared to go home.

Just before the three parted ways at the school gate, Sakura suddenly stopped, as if she had remembered something important.

"Oh, right, Ye Huijun!" She turned around, her eyes sparkling, looking at Ye Hui with anticipation, "Do you remember the promise we made at the ice rink?"

Seeing her serious expression, Ye Hui deliberately raised an eyebrow, feigning confusion: "An agreement? Did we have any agreement? I don't remember."
