But in the original work, when Medusa was at the Peak Dou Huang, although she suffered some injuries and endured some hardship;
In the end, she still managed to snatch the Green Lotus Core Flame from the underground magma world before Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan even refined the Green Lotus Core Flame with a Dou Master cultivation, then embarked on a bumpy road to becoming an Emperor.
Therefore, some things were actually not absolute.
The so-called "ice spirit cold marrow can freeze a Dou Zong to death" was only under the condition that its cold energy fully erupted.
In general circumstances, although the cold energy of the ice spirit cold marrow was not weak, it would not directly freeze a powerhouse to death.
Back then, Medusa had found this piece of ice spirit cold marrow deep at the bottom of an ice spirit cold spring lake.
Xiao Xue opened the jade box in her hand, and a blue-white crystal was lying quietly inside.
Faint cold air rose from it, looking quite strange.
Even in the ice plain, the temperature of the ice spirit cold marrow was a notch lower than the surrounding air temperature.
"I want to go into seclusion in this canyon," Xiao Xue retracted her gaze, looked at Medusa on the side, and smiled slightly.
"I'll have to trouble you, Queen, to stand guard for me."
Although it was a request, Medusa heard a hint of an irrefutable tone in it.
And the look in Xiao Xue's eyes as she looked at her also carried a hint of faint teasing.
Medusa was choked up for a moment, but finally nodded.
The boss had personally spoken, what else could she do but work!
Xiao Xue sat cross-legged on the Icy Earth Vein, and just as she was about to refine the Bone Chilling Flame, she suddenly thought of something and looked at Medusa:
"Oh, that's right, the sword doesn't suit you."
"Your swordsmanship has already gone astray; instead of spending time researching sword Dou Techniques, you might as well try a long spear or a long whip."
Actually, Xiao Xue could not understand why Medusa, an empress of a Demonic Beast race, liked to use a sword.
A sword is not meant for war.
Because in war, most people use long spears.
Second to that, they use broadswords, which have greater lethality compared to swords.
Weapons like swords are actually not very common on the battlefield.
Especially for a Demonic Beast race like the Snake-People Clan, one could not even see a single person using a sword.
After all, with equal strength, if the opponent holds a long halberd or a long spear and sets up a formation;
You, relying only on a three-foot blade, would definitely not be able to charge through and would only be skewered to death by the opponent's spears.
Weapons emphasize practicality and lethality, not flashy techniques or showing off.
Range kills all techniques, making all beings equal.
Before your three-foot sword can even cut someone, the other person's spear has already sent your head flying.
The sword as a weapon is more often found in high temples, representing supreme authority.
Hidden, it is as steady as Mount Tai; brandished, mountains and rivers tremble. It symbolizes the power of authority.
Even in the Fighting Qi Continent, there are only two types of people who use swords:
One type does it for the sake of looking cool; everything else is secondary.
After all, compared to other weapons, the sword does indeed have higher aesthetic appeal.
Dressed in white, holding a long sword, it is simply more evocative than holding a big broadsword.
Moreover, compared to a long spear, the learning curve of a sword is lower, with a higher baseline.
You might not be able to lift a long spear, but you can wield a long sword.
The second type consists of people from large Sects or factions who have conducted deep research into the Dao of the sword.
Only those who can narrowly defeat opponents using long weapons by relying on their skill would choose to use a sword.
Of course, throughout the continent, those who use swords are still a minority; long spears and the like are the mainstream for Cultivators on the continent.
As for Xiao Xue, she occupied both categories.
Coolness is one thing, and with the System, she is not lacking in profound Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques, so that is why she chose to use a sword.
But for Medusa to choose to use a sword after taking human form was somewhat inappropriate.
It's not that Medusa cannot use a sword, it's just that the Snake-People Clan certainly does not have much research on swords.
Therefore, Medusa is essentially learning the sword from scratch.
And relying solely on her own exploration, it is inevitable that she will take some detours.
But Xiao Xue is certain that if a snake spear were in Medusa's hands, it would definitely be able to unleash greater power.
After all, Medusa's pair of jade-like slender hands should be holding a spear.
The spear, the master of all weapons, focuses on killing and slaughter; it simply couldn't be a better match for an empress like Medusa.
At worst, a long whip would also be better than a sword.
The Snake-People Clan all have tails, so they must have more or less researched whip techniques.
After all, Xiao Xue knows that some Snake-People love to whip people with their tails.
Therefore, weapons like long whips are much simpler for them to use than other weapons.
Xiao Xue felt that letting Medusa give up on using a sword could also be considered helping her.
After all, in Xiao Xue's view, Medusa's swordsmanship had already gone astray.
And standing on the shoulders of a Senior, or in a field with some experience, is always better than playing with a big sword all by oneself.
As long as Medusa listens to advice and cuts her losses in time, her potential will definitely be much higher than using a sword.
Moreover, although Medusa is born with a seductive charm, she was born with a face that is hard to get along with.
She is not the so-called "cool older sister" type, but rather gives people the feeling that this woman is very strong-willed and difficult to talk to.
— It has a bit of a female CEO vibe.
And a strong-willed woman like Medusa, holding a long whip, would have a unique flavor.
Some enemies with certain fetishes might even surrender without a fight, or perhaps even come up voluntarily asking to be whipped.
Of course, Xiao Xue had seen countless fetishes in her past life, so she was already unfazed by this.
But whether this battle through the heavens world has been invaded by fetishes, she is not very clear.
After all, this book has been around for quite some time.
Moreover, she was just giving a casual reminder.
Whether Medusa plays with a long spear, a long whip, or a big sword in the future, that is not something she needs to care about.
