Assassin Dad and His Genius Daughter

Ren Ye casually scrolled down the long list of available options on the screen, he had about 10 million coins currently. All of them all cost more than 1 million.

He coincidentally saw one that cost 20 million coins.

Damnit! It cost way too much. But I don't have any complaints, they are extremely useful for different reason.

Ren Ye already had a defensive technique, he needed an offensive technique at this moment. He remembered the choices he was offered before and couldn't help but think about purchasing the one who did choose.

[Frost Daggers]

He found it after a couple of minutes of scrolling.

[Details: Frost Daggers is a technique when activated, allows the user to conjure tiny ice daggers. It is an offensive technique against enemies from afar]

[Technique Grade: A]

"Mm."

"Should I get it?" Ren Ye turned to ask Old Yi for more information before he decided to pick his choice, "What else can I do with the coins other than buying this?"

He needed to make sure he didn't spend his coins on unnesccary things before forgetting the other important things.

"Mm. You could use the coins to buy weapons or level up your technique," Old Yi replied in an interesting tone as he informed Ren Ye.

[Technique]

[Ice Body: Level 1]

"What does leveling do actually?"

"I believe it increases the protection barrier and the duration of the effect, currently it lasts five seconds. Also if you were to attacked by surprise, it wouldn't be able to completely protect you."

Ren Ye nodded his head and entered a stage of contemplation, struggling to choose between leveling or purchasing.

He scrolled down to see the requirements he needed to level up. It was 1 million coins! It was way more than he had expected.

One million! It better be adding an additional ten seconds to its duration and provides me another layer of protection!

Ren Ye shook his head bitterly.

"I'll just look for something else."

[Ice Absorption]

[Ice Concealment]

Ren Ye was intrigued by the list of techniques listed in front of him, each of them cost 5 million coins.

[Ultimate Breeze]

This one cost about 3 million coins.

[Technique Grade: C]

[Details: User can call upon a long-lasting blizzard, freezing objects and targets by reducing the temptation to sub-zero]

Ren Ye hummed and looked for another one, another one he saw cost about 50 million coins.

[Blizzard Domain]

[Technique Grade: S]

[Details: User can summon a domain ranging from 15 meters to 30 meters, when activated, allows user to move around freely whereas the enemy is frozen in time.]

[The duration of the effect is 5 minutes]

Ren Ye was slightly taken aback from this as he attempted to interpret its abilities inside his head with a shocked expression.

"Isn't too overpowered? In 5 minutes and the attacker could do whatever he wants to the paralyzed enemy? Why does this feel like a matter of non consensual harassment?"

Old Yi let out a sarcastic chuckle, "Overpowered as it is but you may never be able to purchase it in this life time."

Ren Ye scoffed at him, "You look down on me too much. You might never know when I manage to buy it and freeze you on spot."

"…"

"Other techniques are pretty useless except this one. I feel Ice Absorption would be great as well."

Ren Ye decided to check the details of Ice Absorption.

[Technique Grade: B]

[Details: Allows user to absorb the surrounding cold energy, especially useful during the winter, allowing user to stabilize the chaotic energy and replacing them with the newly absorbed energy]

"Mm, interesting."

Ren Ye checked Ice Concealment, he had an idea of what it is but he wanted to read it first.

"Does it allow me to cover myself with ice? Or hide myself behind a block of ice?"

Ren Ye joked inwardly.

[Technique Grade: B]

[Details: An alternative to Death Concealment.]

"Death Concealment?" Ren Ye was slightly puzzled by this newly acquired word as Old Yi curled the corner of his lips into a smirk as he snorted to get Ren Ye's attention.

"Death Concealment. A technique native to the Death Element."

"I can bitterly recall having to fight a woman once with that technique. Took me ten months to locate where she was as her whereabouts and network were completely sealed off."

In his past life, Old Yi has fought many people from different types. He couldn't help but want to brag about his warrior lifestyles of the past. Unfortunately, he succumbed to nothing but a servant of the Jade Emperor.

Old Yi referred to Ren Ye with a knowing smile, "You get an idea of what sort of technique it is. I can't say the same about Ice alternatives though."

"The technique is quite special but Death cultivators have always maintained strict control over the technique therefore no one was able to learn it except their own people. Many elements had to make their own techniques and based them off it."

It had been true as Death has been one of the longest surviving elements of his time, their techniques were strictly controlled and forbidden to be taught to outsiders.

The woman Old Yi had fought in the past was the Sect Master of the Death Pathway Sect, who has mastered the arts of concealment. Old Yi had an understanding of what it meant to be a master of concealment.

Ren Ye listened carefully and nodded his head with a solemn expression.

"I feel it is quite useful for the current situation I am in but surely there is always some sort of detrimental side effects of using it."

"Yes, they often lose their own identities and even forgetting their own names because of its side effect. This is why they had to join a sect to learn it, the sect serves as a home and an identity for them in case they ever lose control over their energy."

"What a shame that crazy woman lost control and forgot her own name after continuously provoking me for ten years," Old Yi tsked with annoyance and disdain.

"At the time of my retirement, she was still searching for her home and her identity."

Ren Ye felt slightly disheartened by the story as he lowered his head and spoke regretfully, "I'm sure she has her reasons for chasing you those ten years."

"…"

"Don't make it sound romantic! I don't like that crazy old hag!" Old Yi scolded Ren Ye with irritation as Ren Ye attempted to romanticize his battle with the Sect Master of the Death Pathway Sect.

Old Yi coughed awkwardly as he confessed something with a bit of smugness, "I mean I was handsome at that time but I possessed something that she coveted for a long time."

"What is it?"

"My big-"

Ren Ye dismissed him hurriedly with a deadpan expression as he immediately knew what he was going to say, "Keep your vulgarity out of the conversation."

Old Yi suddenly chuckled, he almost shed tears from laughing. He appeared to have recovered his vitality and seemed to be joking a lot more than before.

"Now, what do you want to buy?"

"Let me get the details of this first."

[Ice Concealment gifts user with the ability to conceal oneself from the outside world and envelops one's body in a state of ice.]

"Wouldn't that make me be unable to do anything except being stuck in ice all day?"

"Shut up, continue reading," Old Yi shushed him.

[Covering one's traces with the power of concealment and one's footsteps with icy sealed flakes.]

Ren Ye rubbed his chin as he raised his eyebrows, "I still don't get what this means. Covering one's traces with the power of concealment and footsteps with ice?"

"It can indicate that your footsteps will be erased with the energy you possessed," Old Yi elaborated carefully as he continued to add in a slightly stunned tone, "It is quite similar to Death Concealment except the effects are much easier to manage."

[Side effects: One may be in a constant stage of freezing all day whether it's during the winter or the summer]

"Fair enough, every benefit comes with sacrifices."

Ren Ye replied with a lot of interest written on his face as he finally came to a decision, he was intrigued by two techniques.

[Blizzard Domain] and [Ice Concealment]

Blizzard Domain, as the price has suggested, was an extremely rare technique as the user could do whatever he wants with the supposed enemies in the domain. This didn't just include killing but other means of torture if one were to be paralyzed in the woman.

Ren Ye was unable to purchase it due to the price exceeding his limits, although he favored this one the most. Others weren't in his interests in the moment.

Frost Daggers was also a good choice but he didn't feel he needed it yet, a weapon could always replace it. He may not be able to react in time if he was attacked by surprise.

Ice Concealment was the most suitable for him due to the situation with Ye Zhihao and having murdered Sun De.

Out of everything, he could only consider Ice Concealment.

"Give me some advices, old man. You are skilled with these types of things," Ren Ye spoke in a monotone tone.

Old Yi exhaled deeply as he smiled, "Buy it."

"But I feel like you may become the crazy old hag in my nightmares if you ever uses it."

"…"

Ren Ye nodded his head and clicked [Purchase]

[Ding! Ice Concealment added to Techniques]

Now, he only has 5 million coins left. He also planned to buy a weapon with remaining coins, one that suits him.
