The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

"Locked?" Ye Tianfan heard this and grew nervous, not wanting to end up like the person in front of him. He was so damn ugly; if he weren't still able to speak, it would be impossible to tell he was alive or even human.

Then Ye Tianfan remembered a detail from earlier; when he walked toward the Extreme Cold Ice Flame, he saw it lean toward him. Although he stepped back a couple of steps, and the flame withdrew its probing, Ye Tianfan still felt that the person might be right in saying he'd been marked by the flame — perhaps it was that very step.

Hold on a second, Ye Tianfan suddenly thought, could this flame be a fragment from the shattered first wisp of flame essence?

The more Ye Tianfan thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. Only such a flame could possess such power and uniqueness.

But what kind of fire was this? So cold, this flame didn't emit heat but rather coldness.

Ye Tianfan looked at the flame with curiosity.

Yet, Ye Tianfan couldn't discern what kind of flame it was, and with such intensity, he had no means to subdue it. The cold it emitted was such that he couldn't get near it — just being slightly closer caused his Spiritual Power to plummet as if it were driving the Illusory Fire.

Wait, Illusory Fire? If I attack this cold flame with the Illusory Fire, would they react chemically? Ye Tianfan wondered.

However, Ye Tianfan suppressed his curiosity with effort, knowing that summoning the Illusory Fire would require more than ten times his total Spiritual Power. In such hazardous conditions, depleting a large amount of Spiritual Power would quickly lower his maximum Spiritual Power.

Supplementing Spiritual Power with pills would rapidly dissipate over time, and there was no place here for Ye Tianfan to recover his strength gradually. If he wanted to survive, he would need to keep consuming pills, but they were limited. So Ye Tianfan restrained the urge to summon the Illusory Fire and prepared to leave with gritted teeth.

He also made up his mind: once he was powerful enough and knew where this place was, he would return to subdue the Extreme Cold Ice Flame.

Ye Tianfan ignored the person and the flame, turning to leave.

Ye Tianfan wanted to fly up to see if the fierce wind had stopped. If it had, he would need to continue his journey.

Speaking of journeying, Ye Tianfan was really gambling. If he didn't leave in time and ran out of supplies, he would perish here.

Initially, Ye Tianfan thought that after he fell here, he would freeze to death immediately, so he was ready to die. But he was surprised to find that this place opted for the slow freeze approach. Of course, if his strength had been worse and he lacked good Magical Treasures, he would have frozen to death instantly upon landing, just as he initially believed.

Seeing that he wasn't instantly freezing to death here, Ye Tianfan wanted to live, hoping maybe his blessed fortune might guide him toward the exit, making his escape even more fortunate.

Seeing no assistance here, Ye Tianfan was ready to leave and check if the violent wind outside had stopped. If it had, he needed to hurry and travel, also needing to restore his Spiritual Power.

The person laughed coldly when they saw Ye Tianfan leaving and said, "Do you think you can really leave here? I can tell you that back then, even with the pinnacle of ten realms strength, I couldn't leave and was forcibly left here, lonely for who knows how many years. I can't remember exactly, but I can responsibly tell you that you will soon be pierced through your clavicle, your pelvis, your ribs, your scapula, and your leg bones by the milky white chains, ending up like me, stuck here."

Hearing this, Ye Tianfan's initially relaxed guard was heightened to the utmost, especially wary of the Extreme Cold Ice Flame. He was ready for the appearance of the so-called milky white chains. Regardless of whether it was blowing fiercely outside, he would have to escape. Being trapped here would be worse than death.

As for why Ye Tianfan wouldn't choose to commit suicide, it's because he saw the person's miserable state. He could tell in an instant that if suicide were possible, this person would have done it long ago, not waiting until now.

And from what the person said, they might indeed be the legendary figure from the tales of the Zero Degree Plains, the Demon Sect Giant.

Of course, Ye Tianfan didn't dwell on whether it was true, for it didn't matter. The priority was escaping here promptly to avoid further torment.

Though the outside was more punishing with those fierce winds, Ye Tianfan knew that as soon as he got out, he would be swallowing pills in no time, probably even sooner.

"Really? In that case, I'll take my leave first." Ye Tianfan said and flew towards the top of the ice fissure.

But it was too late.

As Ye Tianfan flew toward the top of the ice fissure, a dense, snow-white chain net appeared before him, blocking his path and moving wherever he did to remain in his way.

"Damn it!" Ye Tianfan cursed harshly, preparing to give it his all.

Ye Tianfan thought it better to commit suicide before being captured by the chain net than to become like the possible Demon Sect Giant, which was a fate worse than death.

But as Ye Tianfan warily eyed the net, ready to swallow a bottle of Spiritual Power-enhancing pills and break through with full force,

he suddenly felt something winding around his waist and inwardly cried out that things had taken a bad turn.

Quickly looking at his waist, Ye Tianfan found the snow-white chain there.

Just as Ye Tianfan contemplated resisting, perhaps even opting for suicide, he suddenly felt all his strength leave his body.
