The sweat is mine, but the numbers are all theirs.

Looking at that snow-white, flawless skin, one could see streaks of gray-white curses spreading out, emanating an ominous aura.

Lu Yuan wondered, "Should this be considered an abnormal state?"

Devouring life... Does that mean that as long as life force is injected, it can be suppressed?

Although the effects of the power of evolution are evolving, its essence is actually a special and most extreme life-origin power.

Otherwise, power wouldn't be called "life," but rather "evolution."

With this in mind, Lu Yuan had already let go of his worries; everything... was for the sake of ensuring that Instructor Luo could live.

"Star Candle, you all go out and help me guard the outside."

"Sevier, deploy the barrier to cover the cave entrance only; don't expand it beyond."

The black and red horse girl obeyed the order, and with a swift thrust of her heavy spear, the black and red barrier tore open.

The blue-black dress fairy and her sister also stepped out of the barrier to protect them from the outside.

The silver-haired girl had her eyes closed, but her invisible senses extended for over ten kilometers, capturing any movement.

Lu Yuan silently walked over and sat down next to the woman in ice white. Even though Instructor Luo was on the verge of death, she still exuded that extreme coldness.

Words like "keeping people at arm's length" are insufficient to describe it, yet this aura doesn't seem out of place on her at all; it's as if it were created just for her.

This feeling, once seen, is unforgettable.

So unique, so aloof.

Even though her exquisitely beautiful face revealed a fragility that seemed about to break, not a trace of weakness appeared.

Like a block of pure ice, nothing can melt her.

Her tall and slender figure is perfectly proportioned, making her seem like a solitary snow maiden suspended atop an iceberg, wielding extreme cold.

Lu Yuan remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking.

"Professor Luo, I don't know if you can hear me, but I don't want this to be our final destination."

I haven't even had a chance to see the apartment near the university that you gave me, nor have I met my mother to tell her... that I won't have to work two jobs anymore.

I don't want all of this to fall apart, to be nothing at all.

I didn't want... you to die before I could repay you.

The woman's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she seemed to sigh as she opened her flawless, icy white eyes, which were filled with helplessness.

You're affecting my feelings.

From the moment the cult ambushed her, she began to be assimilated more deeply due to the overuse of the power of extreme ice.

But she didn't stop; instead, she erupted even more intensely, offering no resistance and letting the extreme ice embrace her.

It was also letting himself fall into a cage of extreme cold.

It wasn't until she heard the words "I don't want you to die" that she was brought back to reality.

Now, she felt even colder, not so cold anymore, but...

"This passage to the underworld has gnawed away at my life, leaving me unable to recover even now that I have a little time to catch my breath."

So, Lu Yuan, I'm no longer able to take you with me out of here.

She had only a tiny bit of strength left.

She never imagined that emotions she hadn't felt in years would appear at this moment, yet she didn't even have the ability to respond to them.

In the midst of this silence, she suddenly felt her hand being held, and the person holding her was so warm.

Even the body covered in extreme ice was directly...penetrated, unable to be stopped.

"Then this time, I'll lead you out."

The woman in ice-white was stunned, then noticed that Lu Yuan was in a slightly unusual position, right in front of her.

To put it more accurately, I was practically sitting on her like a chair...

This incredibly shameful position made her pale skin almost heat up, and her eyes finally showed a slight ripple.

"What are you doing...?"

Get off me now.

Lu Yuan's eyes were resolute. "No, Instructor Luo, I want to save you."

"How can you save someone like that?" the icy-white woman gritted her teeth.

What should have been an angry voice came out as strangely cold.

"Believe me, Master Luo, I can remove the curse of the Yellow Springs."

"How can you expect me to believe you?!"

The woman in icy white seemed to have a hint of shame and indignation in her voice this time.

Because Lu Yuan's hand was moving, unraveling something.

"You, you stop right now... I'm your mentor at the academy..."

Lu Yuan remained silent. He only wanted to save Luo Ning, but with obstacles in place, the Yellow Springs' extradition could not be eradicated.

After all, its patterns are all on the skin. If you can't see the enemy clearly, how can you eliminate it?

A few minutes later.

The icy-white woman's voice was genuinely filled with emotion; she seemed to be enduring something, her eyes filled with anger as she said, "It hurts."

"Lu Yuan, is this how you repay me?"

Lu Yuan remained silent, knowing that this was inexplicable and that he could only continue to prove it through his actions.

Take action, and the answer will appear!

He was merely eradicating the Yellow Springs Passage Curse, but half an hour later, he was slightly surprised.

Is this curse so powerful? Even a single life evolution couldn't overcome it?

Is it because this force stands on the opposite side of life that it is more difficult to integrate and solidify?

There's nothing we can do about that.

"Professor Luo, I'm sorry, but I must save you!"

An hour later, the woman in ice white had gotten up and was leaning against the cave wall, which was more suitable for evolutionary healing.

Her long, slender fingers, as if enduring something, crushed the rocks.

Tears welled up in her icy white eyes.

The icy abyss is gradually melting.

Two hours later, a fierce wind was blowing outside the cave, and dark clouds were rolling in.

Dazzling lightning bolts struck repeatedly, creating a dull, resounding boom.

But it was nothing compared to how much Lu Yuan shook the icy-white woman's 'mind'.

Her usually icy gaze was almost shattered by the shock...

Large raindrops lashed down furiously from the dark clouds, pounding wildly against the mountain rocks, as if in a tit-for-tat confrontation, trying to drown out all other sounds, utterly domineering.

But the life force that can traverse even the Ice Abyss and melt even the Ice Abyss is even more domineering.

It couldn't overpower it at all; it could only watch helplessly as it was crushed.

Three hours later.

Under the relentless storm, even the rock strata were penetrated, and water seeped out bit by bit from the rock walls, gathering into droplets that fell to the ground.

The ticking sound is very pleasant.

But the truth eventually came out. In the pouring rain, the girl with her silver-white hair fluttering in the wind, standing at the entrance of the cave, suddenly opened her deep red eyes.

There seemed to be a faint star twinkling.

"We've been discovered."
