"I thought I'd become stronger after entering the ice cave..."

Guan Xia was completely speechless. Why did his grandfather have to say all this to him?

"The reason I'm telling you all this is simple: you're not allowed to like the Snow Woman!"

Guan Zhenyuan's expression was quite serious; he was afraid that his mixed-race grandson would fall in love with the Snow Maiden again.

"Don't worry, I like normal girls."

Guan Xia waved his hand, finally understanding why his grandfather had said those things.

She was simply afraid of repeating her father's mistake and giving him a mixed-race great-grandson...

"I think Xiao Chen is pretty good. Why don't you two give him a try?"

Guan Zhenyuan wouldn't listen to Guan Xia's side of the story; he knew perfectly well how powerful the XP inherited from his Guan family was.

"Grandpa, please don't play matchmaker. She's just as old as me, we're not a good match."

Guan Xia frowned. He could sense that Chen Yi's feelings for him were purely those of a brother and sister, without any romantic feelings whatsoever.

Moreover, ever since he returned after the New Year, he felt that something was off about the girl.

Occasionally, I'll be absent-minded.

"Tsk, I'm forty years older than your grandma, and I still have your dad..."

Guan Zhenyuan pursed his lips, and was about to say something when a military staff officer rushed in.

"Commander, the reconnaissance team has brought back a message..."

The staff officer whispered something in Guan Zhenyuan's ear.

"Looks like we need to get down to business."

Guan Zhenyuan got up and stretched, then turned to look at Guan Xia.

"Guan Xia, I'm now giving your team a mission!"

Once the topic was over, everyone returned to their usual behavior in the military.

The fifteen members of Guan Xia's team stood up straight at the same time, waiting for Guan Zhenyuan to give the order.

"As the ace of the special squad in Harbin, I need you to bring back the Heart of the Ice Storm!"

"The specific unknowns have been ascertained. Other companies will be responsible for luring the enemy away from their stronghold, and I will also take action personally."

"And you, taking advantage of the throne's emptiness, brought back the Heart of the Ice Storm, thus completely ending the threat of the Ice Abyss!"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this. Why were they entrusted with such an important task?

Doesn't it require the intervention of a grandmaster?

"Only the Snow Woman can touch the heart of the ice storm; anyone else, including a Grandmaster, will be frozen the moment they touch it."

"Unless they are experts above the Grandmaster level, they can hold out for a little longer."

"Do you understand now?"

Guan Zhenyuan looked at Guan Xia meaningfully, and Guan Xia understood what was going on.

Her grandfather did not intend to return the Heart of the Ice Storm to the Snow Maiden clan, but wanted him to keep it in his hands.

Or rather, put the Snow Maiden's ultimate weapon into the hands of the human race!

"Mission accomplished!"

Guan Xia accepted the mission without hesitation, because he was the only one who possessed half of the Snow Maiden's bloodline and would not be instantly frozen.

Only he could successfully complete this task.

......

Five days later, Chen Mo opened his eyes in the culture jar.

[Five Internal Organs Tempering Progress 99%]

[Six Internal Organs Tempering Progress 99%]

[Triple Energizer Meridian Tempering Progress 99%]

[The core of the pulse needs to condense...]

boom!

Chen Mo kicked the lid off his head and stepped out of the sticky nutrient solution.

The effects of three consecutive doses of tempering serum were terrifying. Except for not completing the perfect tempering, Chen Mo's current realm has broken through three levels and reached level ten!

"Such a fast absorption rate..."

Even the AI ​​couldn't help but marvel at how fast Chen Mo was absorbing the information.

He originally thought that under ideal circumstances, Chen Mo would need at least three months to fully absorb the three vials of serum.

Normally, it takes about 25 days for one vial of serum to be absorbed, and three vials over three months is the ideal state.

But he never expected that Chen Mo would complete the absorption of the serum in just five days.

Moreover, the effect was exceptionally good, with not a single bit of waste.

"Damn it, this is killing me..."

Chen Mo spat out a mouthful of sticky nutrient solution and wiped his body with a look of disgust.

This liquid wouldn't affect Chen Mo's breathing, but the feeling of his lungs being full of phlegm was really unpleasant.

"Don't rush me, I still have some things to do."

Before the AI ​​could speak, Chen Mo cut it off.

[Should I spend 22500 to purchase the 1% progress towards perfecting all five internal organs?]

Chen Mo didn't hesitate at all; wasn't the purpose of saving up his gold coins all this time to spend them?

After clicking "Yes", Chen Mo could clearly feel that his internal organs had undergone tremendous changes.

The heart, in particular, changed from a metallic sheen to a crystalline appearance.

The liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys also show corresponding changes.

With the liver and spleen producing blood, the concentration of qi and blood in Chen Mo's body rose once again.

His lungs supply oxygen—no, his lungs can now even produce oxygen by consuming cells!

In other words, Chen Mo has now gained the ability to survive briefly in space!

Unlike the survival skills of the Renwu, who can survive without oxygen, Chen Mo creates his own oxygen.

That is, successful self-sufficiency.

Changes in the kidneys...

Besides being immune to all poisons, Xiao Chenmo has become even more amazing, especially in terms of size.

I wonder if my future wife can handle it...

Well, that's about all the changes.

As for the five internal organs' blood circulation, Chen Mo has not yet activated it.

Others cannot complete the tempering of the five internal organs without undergoing the process of nourishing the blood in the five internal organs, but Chen Mo skipped this stage entirely.

From this perspective, the blood and energy nourished by perfectly balanced internal organs is very likely to be perfectly balanced blood and energy.

Of course, an essential element for perfect internal organs is extra skills, which are what outsiders perceive as mutations.
