Chapter 64: S+ Weapon, Ice No. 7: Ice Age

Chapter 64 S+ Weapon, Ice-VII·Frozen Age

Jie Chen, "This is a twin sword from an S-class Snow Disaster dungeon. Back then, the entire Blaze Team went all-in—captain included—to secure the first clear after an insane grind."

At his words, Wu Yue froze mid-motion as she was binding the weapon. Without thinking, she shoved Frostmoon Icicle back into Jie Chen’s hands.

The speed with which she’d snatched it earlier matched only by how fast she returned it now.

Jie Chen frowned. "Weren’t you just grinning like a Cheshire cat? Eyes practically gone behind your smile."

Wu Yue glared. "Are you kidding me? I thought Frostmoon was just a pretty face.

Who knew it had such a legendary pedigree—the whole Blaze Team going full throttle for an S-tier dungeon first clear.

And even its description doesn’t show its tier. You know something that rare has gotta be sky-high quality.

How could I possibly accept something so insanely valuable?!"

Jie Chen couldn’t wrap his head around her logic. Staring at the Frostmoon Icicle she'd pushed into his hands, he felt absurd—as if this top-tier weapon were being tossed aside like yesterday's news.

"You don’t want it?"

"Yeah, no," Wu Yue nodded. "But I can buy it."

She had 600 top-tier crystals—worth 300B points.

Jie Chen sneered. "Buy it? How much you offering?

House Huo once dropped a trillion points and I didn’t even let their people through the door. A penniless scrub dares to talk numbers?!"

Wu Yue: *internal screaming* Ughhhhh… thank god she kept her mouth shut. That would’ve been mortifying.

Why did earning dozens or hundreds of points in her past life feel impossible?

Now trillions sounded like Vietnamese dong in Jie Chen’s mouth!!!

Are we even on the same planet?! How is there this much disparity?!

Wu Yue deflated. "I can’t afford it. Sell it to House Huo."

Jie Chen’s veins popped on his forehead. "Since when am I selling to House Huo?! Did your language teacher learn from a jock or something?!"

Wu Yue curled inward, desperately avoiding looking at Frostmoon Icicle again. She silently scolded herself:

Wu Yue, that beauty’s way outta your league.

Her eyes betrayed her, drifting toward it again—she quickly wrenched her gaze away.

Stop staring! You thirsty creep!! Degenerate!! Told you not to look!!

"What's going on here?"

Aunty Chen sent Jian Suiyu to fetch them when Jie Chen and Wu Yue didn’t show up for lunch.

Arriving at the training hall, he found Jie Chen absolutely seething while Wu Yue looked like a deflated balloon.

Jie Chen muttered, "I was gonna give Wu Yue Frostmoon Icicle from the disaster dungeon—but she turned it down."

Jian Suiyu blinked in shock. "Wu Yue? You’re passing up an S-tier weapon? That’s world-class gear."

Wu Yue waved her hands frantically, "No, no, I haven’t earned such a generous gift."

Jie Chen was about to lose it, "I already told you, this Frostmoon is my personal gift to you! It has nothing to do with the team!"

Jian Suiyu nodded, "That’s right, Wu Yue.

Although the team cleared the dungeon together, everyone else got their own loot.

Back then, drops were assigned by DPS, so this weapon belongs to Jie Chen. He has full say over it—

he can give it to whoever he wants, no one needs to approve."

Jie Chen snapped impatiently, "Clear now? Will you take it?"

Hearing this, Wu Yue softened slightly, "Really?"

Seeing her hesitation, Jian Suiyu understood what Wu Yue was worried about. He motioned for Jie Chen to chill.

Jian Suiyu nodded, "Wu Yue, if you’re set on not taking it, just say so.

But the Huo family has been gunning for this sword—they want to give it to Yi Na as a 20th birthday present.

You know Yi Na, right? The woman who bullied you nonstop in the orphanage and tried to steal your psychic core during your awakening?

The very person responsible for your mysterious loss of psychic power.

Since Jie Chen isn’t using the weapon anyway, he might as well sell it to Yi Na."

Jie Chen frowned, about to mutter, *Why are you provoking her? The poor kid’s already messed up enough.*

But before he could speak, he saw fire light in Wu Yue’s eyes. She marched up to Jie Chen with deadly intent.

Her sudden aggression threw him off so hard that he instinctively took half a step back.

Yet, to his shock, Wu Yue suddenly hit one knee in front of him, clasped her fists, and declared:

"My lord, if you would not reject me, Xiao Yue wishes to become your ride-or-die daughter.

Dad, I’ll take care of you till you kick the bucket."

Jie Chen’s eye spasmed like crazy. *Ride-or-die daughter?! Xiao Yue?! Take care of me till I die?!*

She was an ungrateful gremlin! A walking disaster!!

What kind of nonsense was she spouting?! What the hell was wrong with her head?!

Heaving a deep breath, Jie Chen hauled Wu Yue to her feet and shoved Frostmoon Icicle into her arms, looking pissed beyond words.

"Now, will you bind it already?"

Wu Yue grinned brightly and nodded, "You bet!"

Then she quickly added, "Dad, I’ll be the best damn daughter ever."

Jie Chen: *Your ‘filial piety’ will murder me.*

Oh yeah, she’d definitely win “Worst Daughter” awards every year.

Through clenched teeth, Jie Chen growled, "Say ‘dad’ again, I dare you—and I’ll end you."

Wu Yue quickly clamped a hand over her mouth and gestured, "Understood!"

Jie Chen squeezed his eyes shut in irritation, while Jian Suiyu beside him wore an expression of keen interest, clearly eager to see what surprising attributes the Frostmoon Icicle—with its unknown properties—would reveal once activated by Wu Yue.

Binding a weapon was different from binding an item. It required a blood offering, with lifeblood drawn directly from the heart being the most potent choice.

Wu Yue pressed the blade tip against her chest. The Frostmoon Icicle's edge was thin yet quick as a striking viper; she didn't even feel any pain—only a faint chill.

A blinding flash erupted from the Frostmoon Icicle in Wu Yue’s hand, its radiance matching the shimmering halo of her silver-white energy core.

As the glow faded, Wu Yue noticed countless snowflake patterns etching themselves onto the sword’s hilt, resembling powerful frost-enhancing runes at first glance.

Hidden behind the snowflakes was a ghostly crescent moon.

So faint it nearly vanished from sight, it was unclear whether it would undergo unexpected changes with use.

After inspecting the sword, Wu Yue opened her system panel to check the Frostmoon Icicle’s attributes post-binding:

"Weapon Name: Frostmoon Icicle

Weapon Type: Two-handed Sword

Weapon Rank: S+ (+ denotes unknown)

Weapon Attack Power: Scales with the user’s spiritual energy—stronger when the user is strong, weaker when the user is weak.

Additional Weapon Attributes:

Icicle Coating, Bone-chilling Frost—adds additional ice damage while attacking, slowing the enemy’s movement speed.

Frost of the Solitary Moon—when the hidden crescent within the sword’s essence matures into a full moon, it unleashes a devastating strike capable of cleaving the heavens and shaking the foundations of the earth.

Locked Skill:

Ice VII · World of Eternal Frost—when Ice VII descends, all things shall return to an age of ice."

Ice VII?

Wu Yue frowned.

Could it be referring to that—the legendary super-ice capable of flash-freezing all the world’s oceans within hours under sufficient pressure?

Ice VII...? Ice VII??
