"Little Snow, watch closely, this is how a Pactress fights..."
A familiar voice resonated in her ear.
Lin Xue’s eyes instantly moistened, she knew, this was the not yet fully vanished soul of her grandmother, protecting her once again before disappearing, and trying to give her the final guidance.
Then, Lin Xue felt as if a pair of invisible hands were holding hers.
Just like the countless times during her childhood when her grandmother taught her how to use chopsticks, to hold an umbrella, to make paper cutouts; in this moment, her grandmother was holding her by the hand again, teaching her how to handle a scythe, how to move, how to dodge a monster’s attacks, and how to strike an enemy during their guard gaps...

[Your Lifespan -1...]
On Mu You’s side, the prompts of lifespan reduction were still continuously showing up, and then he finally saw the level of Grandma Lin Xue: Level 16!
But all other attributes were marked ’question marks’.
Clearly, it wasn’t that Grandma Lin Xue had only been level 16 in her lifetime, but because the energy supply from him and Lin Xue was insufficient, it had limited her level cap, only allowing her to reach this height.
Although he couldn’t see the attributes, just watching the changes in the distant battlefield, Mu You could distinctly feel that her Agility Value was high!
The thin figure continually dodged around the Snow Monster, who incessantly roared and swung its claws about. Every fist sent snow flying about and shook the ground like an earthquake, but it could never manage to touch even the edge of her clothes.
The young girl was like a nimble Snow Elf, dancing in the snow with graceful and skillful movements, leaving marks on her opponent time and time again, effortlessly avoiding being touched by the snow.
The girl’s steps seemed to carry a peculiar rhythm, she was always composed. Every step landed at the perfect spot, seemingly slow in her movements but in actuality, she was everywhere like a breeze sweeping across the ground, impossible to catch.
After the eighth hit, Lin Xue suddenly felt that the force controlling her body had disappeared. There was no more whispering sound coming from within her, she was now in complete control of her body.
Lin Xue understood instantly, her grandmother had truly left forever this time...
After a brief moment of sadness, she had no time to continue grieving. Her gaze quickly turned cold and she continued to move as she did before.
She had now inherited all of her grandmother’s attributes, theoretically she could perfectly reproduce the previous attack methods.
Even though her movements were still premature, temporarily unable to adapt to this high-paced battle, she could only mimic, making her movements seem unusual. However, she had her own strengths, namely, meticulous and cool-headed thinking.
Where skills fell short, frequency could compensate. Her grandmother could hit once every five seconds, she couldn’t manage such proficiency, so she moved a bit slower, forty seconds, fifty seconds... she would still land a hit eventually.
The ninth strike, successful!
Having struck successfully once, Lin Xue immediately retreated to open the distance, then started circling around the Snow Monster again.
After a few circles, and not until she had manoeuvred a sufficient angle, did she charge up again, aiming her final strike at the leg of the Snow Monster.
The scythe grazed past, nearly being dodged by the Snow Monster, but it still struck, drawing a subtly discernible line of blood on its leg.
As for the fact that she charged too close this time and couldn’t avoid in time, it didn’t matter anymore, ten marks had been achieved, the next phase of the battle had nothing to do with her.
The Snow Monster roared in anger, looking down at the human figure at its feet, its palm slammed down, but it could no longer follow through.
A giant Grim Reaper shadow emerged rapidly from the scythe, immediately enveloping Lin Xue, and with an effortless lift of its hand, sent the Snow Monster flying.
This Grim Reaper, resembling a Skeleton, was draped in a black robe and held a scythe that was dozens of times larger in its hand. The Skeleton swept its gaze around, the Soul Fire in its eyes pulsated wildly, and from its mouth emanated a bizarre, drawn-out chortle.
"Is this the Grim Reaper?" Mu You said in surprise as he watched the gigantic Skeleton shadow enveloping the girl from afar.
Upon the real Grim Reaper’s arrival, an indescribable frigid aura immediately engulfed the surroundings.
Despite the great distance, Mu You felt a suffocating pressure that made his body covered in goosebumps.
This feeling was completely different from the pressure that the Blood Emperor had brought, it was a more fatal fear that acted directly on the soul, as though they were already in Hell beneath Jiu You.
If he felt , it was needless to say how the Snow Monster, facing the Grim Reaper directly, felt.
The previously fearless Snow Monster, upon seeing the Grim Reaper, finally revealed unprecedented panic. It stood up from the snowy ground and instinctively fled.
However, with a mere wave of the Grim Reaper’s left hand, its fingers easily penetrated the body of the Snow Monster, pulling out a ghostly blue Soul Shadow. As the Snow Monster ran, its soul was stretched thinner and thinner like rubber mud but could never escape from the Grim Reaper’s hands.
As more and more of the soul was pulled out, until the entire Snow Monster’s form appeared, another eerie laughter came from the Grim Reaper’s mouth.
A swing of the right hand with the scythe split the Snow Monster’s soul in two.
