In the depths of the ancient city, in front of a temple devoted to many Buddha and Guanyin statues, a blue-haired youth dressed in white walked over from a distance.
This youth looked very different from those of Great Flame Country and should be from the north of the continent.

His skin was fair, his face handsome. Underneath his faint smile, there was a hint of arrogance and indifference deep in his eyes.
"I remember, in the south, such a place should be called a 'temple,' right? Truly a place exuding a mysterious aura!"
Sino looked at the distant main hall, smiled rather enchantedly, and then stepped up the stairs, walking into the square in front of the temple.
At the exact moment his right foot stepped onto the square, the eighteen Arhat statues on both sides of the square suddenly opened their large bell-like eyes.
Sino seemed oblivious, walking slowly toward the main hall, while the gazes of the eighteen Arhats shifted, constantly fixed on him.
When Sino was halfway across, a rapid sound of crashing through the air echoed!
In a flash, a golden figure appeared. A burly Arhat with muscles bulging rushed to Sino's side in the blink of an eye. His golden fist, covered with Gang Qi, mercilessly smashed over!
Sino extended his right hand and effortlessly caught the Arhat's fist, his body barely swaying.
"Oh? I thought you'd wait until I reached the door. It seems you're not as patient as I imagined..."
Sino smiled, a cold light flashing in his eyes. A layer of cold ice quickly spread from their interlocked fists along the Arhat's arm!
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!..."
The sound of air being sliced echoed continuously as the other Arhats around them started rushing over!
Sino clenched his right palm; the entire arm of the first Arhat now shattered into countless ice crystals.
Sino tapped his foot, his figure swaying lightly, easily dodging the punches and kicks of several Arhats. At the same time, with one punch and one kick, he knocked these Arhats far away.
However, a layer of golden light flowed over these Arhats' bodies. It was clear they had activated the Golden Bell Shield, making them impervious to swords and guns while enhancing their Star Power resistance. Once they fell, they quickly got back up.
"Heh, their defense isn't weak."
Seeing this, Sino's hand flashed with white light, and a finely crafted Green Rose Sword appeared in his hand.
As soon as the sword appeared, a chilling aura emanated from it, making it look extraordinary.
Holding this sword, Sino's figure flashed quickly to the extreme. Like an ice dancer, he swiftly and precisely struck every Arhat with one sword slash after another.
Every Arhat that was struck by him had an ice rose imprint left on them. Their movements slowed down accordingly.
In just a few moments, Sino walked out from the encirclement of many Arhats.
Behind him, each Arhat's movements stiffened, almost unable to take a step.
Sino held his longsword horizontally, chuckled lightly: "Bloom, Green Rose."
The blue glow on the Green Rose Sword intensified, and then an astonishing amount of ice element power emanated from the sword!
"Boom, boom, boom...!"
One after another, booming sounds echoed. Behind Sino, all the Arhats turned into ice powder, exploding!
Sino turned around, picking up a blue Star Card from the ground.
"Eighteen Arhats?..."
Sino shook his head, casually storing it in his ring, then stepped into the main hall.
The main hall was filled with many Buddha statues.
Sino carefully scanned from left to right, and soon his gaze settled on a golden Thousand-Armed Guanyin at the innermost part of the hall.
In the palm of the right hand of this Thousand-Armed Guanyin, there was a snowflake imprint emitting a faint glow.
Moreover, this snowflake was different from the hexagonal snowflake Su Yuan had seen. Besides being more exquisite and emitting a more intense chill, it astonishingly had twelve points!
"Twelve-pointed Snowflake?"
Even with Sino's status, a hint of fervor still appeared in his eyes at this moment.
"It seems this might be the highest level thing in the secret realm!"
Sino walked closer, using Star Power to communicate with the snowflake imprint in the palm of the Guanyin.
Rich white light spread out. In a blink of an eye, Sino disappeared from the hall.
Time passed, and several days had gone by since Su Yuan entered the city.
On this day, on a certain pavilion, accompanied by a burst of white light, Su Yuan's figure appeared.
In Su Yuan's hand, there was still a blue Star Card.
"[Ice Crystal Blast Slash], an ice element attack skill, not very useful." Su Yuan casually put the Star Card away. "But fortunately, I've roughly understood the rules of these snowflake imprints."
As he delved deeper into the ancient city, so far, Su Yuan had seen three kinds of snowflake imprints.
They were hexagonal, eight-pointed, and ten-pointed.
These three different snowflake grades corresponded to the difficulty of the challenges, with a significant span between them.
Like the hexagonal snowflake, the challengers inside were at the Bronze Level elite stage.
While the ten-pointed snowflake was already at the Silver Stage master level.
Of course, the harder the challenge, the higher the rewards after passing the challenge.
The ten-pointed snowflake corresponded to third-level materials and Blue Grade treasures.
The [Ice Crystal Blast Slash] in Su Yuan's hand was obtained from the ten-pointed snowflake imprint on this pavilion.
According to Su Yuan's observations, the larger or more important the building or place, the higher the probability of having a snowflake imprint, and the higher its grade.
At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from ahead.
"Is it another wandering secret realm creature?"
