Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system

A few minutes passed as Wang Ming explained the situation. However, he carefully omitted anything related to the System. By the end of his explanation, everyone could only stare at Bai Lingxi in disbelief.

"So… I have a Divine-rank physique and a bloodline?" Bai Lingxi asked again, struggling to process what she had just heard.

"If you're doubtful, you can check for yourself," Wang Ming replied. "I'm going to clean myself up."

Bai Lingxi nodded stiffly, still in shock.

Back to present

"Hah, I didn't expect the bloodline to be this powerful," Bai Lingxi thought, surprised by how much her abilities had improved. Even her normal ice attacks had received a massive boost. What amazed her more was how effortlessly she could create and manipulate ice out of thin air. Morever, the dark ice she used now felt far more powerful

Her eyes darted to the side, observing her surroundings. Everything was covered in black ice and snow, and everyone around her was shivering in the freezing cold. Yet, she felt perfectly fine. In fact, the cold seemed pleasant and comforting to her.

"Hmph," Bai Lingxi snorted when she noticed Wang Ming glancing at her with a resentful gaze. Her lips curled into a smirk as she watched his eyebrows twitch in irritation.

"Primordial Ice Maker and Manipulation: Dark Army," Bai Lingxi muttered softly. The ice beneath her began to tremble.

"Hmm?" Wang Ming raised an eyebrow as he saw the ice around him start to shift and rise into piles. The mounds of ice began to take shape, transforming into black soldiers wielding spears. Their bodies were clad in pitch-black armor made of ice and snow.

Wang Ming swept his gaze across the stage, stunned to see not just a few soldiers but at least a hundred. Each one was crafted from ice and equipped with a variety of weapons—swords, maces, axes, spears, lances, and bows. Some were even mounted on horses and Pegasus made out of black ice.

"Let's start with a hundred first," Bai Lingxi murmured, her tone calm as she observed her newly formed army.

"Alright, attack," she commanded.

The previously motionless ice army began to glow ominously, emitting a dark aura as they moved. To Wang Ming's astonishment, each soldier radiated Core Formation Realm cultivation, leaving him utterly bewildered.

" How do they have cultivation?" Wang Ming's eyes widened when he saw this.

The disciples watching from the crowd were boiling with excitement.

"So many soldiers! How did she create them so easily?" exclaimed a disciple. Another, who was more knowledgeable about elemental techniques.Elemental attacks are among the hardest to use. Judging by the precision of their shapes, he realized Bai Lingxi's manipulation over ice has reached an abnormal level.

"Heavens! Are my senses playing tricks on me, or do those soldiers made of ice actually have cultivation?" asked another disciple, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"You're not wrong—they do have cultivation. But how is that possible? Non-living things can't cultivate!" said a different disciple from the crowd. According to common knowledge, only living, breathing beings could possess cultivation. Yet the ice soldiers were clearly inanimate, leaving him utterly dumbfounded as he sensed their cultivation levels.

"This... something feels off," the referee muttered with a frown. He too had detected cultivation emanating from the ice soldiers and couldn't make sense of it.

"What the hell?" Even though Wang Ming was not reacting or showing much emotion on the outside, on the inside, he was utterly dumfounded, just like everyone in the crowd. He, too, knew that no living being could possibly have cultivation.

"System, how do these ice creatures have cultivation?" Wang Ming whispered.

[System Message: Sigh, I thought the user had learned to walk properly, but it seems he cannot even crawl properly without the system's help.]

"It's at it again," Wang Ming muttered, his face turning black as veins popped out on his forehead upon seeing the teasing reply.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

[System Message: The reason the host is sensing cultivation from the ice army is due to ice djinns, which have taken residence in those ice sculptures.]

"Huh, ice djinns?" Wang Ming was left shocked upon hearing this.

"How the hell? Where did the djinns even come from? And moreover, how can she control them to take residence in the ice sculptures?" Wang Ming looked at Bai Lingxi with wide eyes as he asked the system, as he knew Dijins also have their own free wills and will never take residence in things like ice sculptures.

[System Message: She created them.]

"What?!" Wang Ming exclaimed.

[System Message: The Primordial Ice Phoenix Bloodline and Celestial Ice Body together have the ability to create artificial ice djinns, as no one else has better affinity with ice than the possessor of this bloodline and physique. Since djinns are purely made of spiritual energy modeled into solid form, the possessor of this bloodline and physique can do the same. However, the key difference is that these djinns are temporary and non-sentient.]

Wang Ming's mouth hung open as he processed the information, all while enduring the biting cold.

"How is Lingxi able to use this? She just got the bloodline," Wang Ming asked.

[System Message: She must be doing it subconsciously and does not know she created the djinns. Moreover, the moment she received the bloodline and awakened the physique, many abilities related to the technique were already imprinted on her mind.]

The system's reply left Wang Ming in a slight daze, but his eyes snapped back to focus as he saw the army charging toward him.

"Heavens..." Min Li, watching from the sidelines, remained silent as she observed the army of ice forming on the stage. Her eyes widened when she sensed cultivation emanating from them. The disbelief and confusion of the crowd were palpable, and she noticed even Wang Ming seemed a bit shocked.

"S-She is so strong! How great is her affinity with ice?" cried out Min Li, struggling to process what she was witnessing.

'Can he even defeat her? ' Min Li thought as she watched the army charge toward Wang Ming. Cold sweat formed on her forehead as the assault began, and she was a hundred percent certain that even a hundred of her current self wouldn't stand a chance of surviving such an attack.
