Chapter 213: The Most Spectacular Scene!
"How beautiful."
As he watched the "Falling Snow and Ice" steadily closing in on him, Yun Chuan—who was gradually drawing closer to the storm—still found time to admire this beautiful scene.
Just as the storm drew ever closer, on the verge of engulfing him entirely, Yun Chuan calmly thrust the long sword in his hand into the ground, and the flames immediately died out. A layer of frost suddenly began to spread from the hilt along the blade…
"Frost—Guard!"
He was as sparing with his words as ever, uttering only those three simple characters.
In the blink of an eye, a circular shield of ice enveloped his entire body.
The next moment.
The blizzard engulfed him entirely.
These drifting snowflakes lacked overwhelming impact and weren't particularly effective at breaching defenses. But their strength lay in their relentless persistence; all that could be heard was the teeth-chattering, shrill screech of friction coming from the outer edge of the icy shield!
Countless snowflakes relentlessly sliced at every corner of the icy shield like a meat grinder. Under the assault of snowflakes sharper than razor blades, the originally smooth and transparent shield quickly became riddled with scars.
However, judging by the situation, it would likely take quite some time to break through this icy shield.
And if anyone could see Shui Bing'er's expression inside the blue pillar of light right now, they would surely notice that her face had turned grim. Although she had already held Yun Chuan in high regard before this match, she never imagined that once the actual battle began, she would discover that this man was even more formidable than she had ever imagined!
Speed, destructive power, fire, and ice… This man was simply flawless in every respect!
Since Shui Bing'er was the one leading the "Falling Snow" Soul Fusion Technique, she could clearly sense the resistance the snowflakes encountered as they attacked. Although the icy shield Yun Chuan had erected was now covered in scars, she could sense that if things continued as they were, even after she and Xue Wu had exhausted all their soul power, they might not be able to completely break through this seemingly fragile icy shield.
This man was simply too strong!
So strong that he didn't seem like a Level 40 Soul Master at all!
Shui Bing'er furrowed her brows, sensing that the situation was becoming rather tricky.
They had already used their Soul Fusion Technique. If they still couldn't win this match, what chance would Tianshui Academy have of winning in the future?
At this thought, Shui Bing'er's beautiful eyes narrowed!
A piercing phoenix cry rang out from the blue pillar of light soaring into the sky, and the snowflakes that had been forming a tornado-like slashing attack in midair shot high into the air.
Listening to that brilliant phoenix cry and sensing the spiritual pressure—which had grown even more intense despite the reduced physical pressure—Yun Chuan felt a sudden flash of realization. The Ice Phoenix—Shui Bing'er's Soul Spirit was actually the Ice Phoenix, one of the top-tier Soul Spirits!
No wonder her control over her Soul Skills was so formidable; no wonder she possessed such a powerful Soul Fusion Technique. So she actually possessed such a domineering and formidable martial soul!
In any world, dragons and phoenixes are synonymous with power!
In terms of strength, Shui Bing'er was even slightly superior to Huo Wu. And she also had Xue Wu, a fusion partner that Huo Wu lacked.
Mid-air, snowflakes coalesced, gradually taking shape.
A massive blue phoenix, seven meters long, materialized out of thin air!
The Ice Phoenix appeared incredibly vivid, as if it were a physical entity. Its bright eyes and slender tail feathers were truly captivating.
The dazzling blue phoenix descended from the heavens, devoid of any trace of smoke or fire, transforming into an ice-blue glare as it floated gracefully downward~
Its movements were not swift, but with every step forward, the snowflakes drifting down from the sky made its body grow even more solid!
Yun Chuan casually dispelled the icy protective barrier surrounding him and looked up at that noble and beautiful creature. Compared to the Ice Phoenix, which stood over seven meters tall, he looked so tiny; the dazzling blue light completely illuminated the competition stage.
At that moment, even the spectators who were the most ardent supporters of Cupid Academy and Dugu Qiubai no longer believed he could win this match.
The audience was even more baffled as to why Yun Chuan would dismantle his entire defensive system just as his opponent's attack was about to strike.
The Ice Phoenix, gliding down from mid-air, saw that Yun Chuan had removed his protective shield and paused for a moment. Then, Shui Bing'er's somewhat angry voice rang out from within the blue light: "Are you looking to die? Get out of the way quickly—I'm losing control."
She was already giving it her all, and the energy condensed within the Ice Phoenix in the air had now become beyond her control. A faint smile flitted across Yun Chuan's face as he thought to himself, She really is a kind-hearted girl.
But I'm not going to lose this easily.
Although, with only a little over forty levels of soul power stored within him right now, casting that move would be a bit of a stretch. Still, he wouldn't let his pride be defeated—his unbeatable reputation couldn't be shattered here.
So, he'd have to get a little serious!
By now, the Ice Phoenix in midair was completely out of control, plummeting from the sky as a massive surge of energy poured down.
A cold current surged, having already completely locked onto Yun Chuan's body. The Soul Fusion Technique "Falling Ice and Snow" was extremely powerful; once activated, it would instantly lock onto its opponent.
But just then, a bizarre scene unfolded.
Yun Chuan raised the long sword in his hand, dispelling all the golden light and flame effects to reveal its silver-white blade once more, striking a pose as if ready to strike!
The audience in the arena widened their eyes, watching him with curiosity. They wanted to see what solution he had in store to counter this move.
Then,
A crimson glow gradually illuminated the area around Yun Chuan's body, and immediately afterward, a vast expanse of flames materialized out of thin air.
Once these flames appeared, they seemed to possess a will of their own, rapidly converging behind him and coalescing into a form. Finally, they transformed into a ferocious, green-faced, fanged Acala!
This Acala was formed entirely of flame, radiating the unique fury of fire—just like a flame deity, unrestrainedly unleashing his wrath!
The Wrath of the Fire God!
This technique was Yun Chuan's own development and application of the fire element; in this state, he could maximize the power of his flame control.
At that moment, vast swaths of flame coalesced in the Immovable Wisdom King's hand, taking the form of a sword!
A divine sword forged from fire!
In the blink of an eye.
The colossal Ice Phoenix had already swooped down!
A terrifying cold current swept toward them!
"Slash!"
Yun Chuan's gaze sharpened as he swung his long sword with all his might!
At the same moment, the Immovable Wisdom King behind him also swung the divine sword of flame!
"BOOM!!!"
The divine sword of flame collided with the Ice Phoenix!
A burst of both icy cold and searing heat erupted!
Crimson and icy-blue hues instantly engulfed the entire arena!
The next moment.
Accompanied by a thunderous roar, the entire arena collapsed completely.
A wave of both freezing cold and searing heat spread in all directions!
The six students from Cupid Academy standing at the edge of the arena had jumped off long ago, and as for the girls from Tianshui Academy, they had also quickly left the arena the moment Shui Bing'er was about to unleash her ultimate move. So there was no need to worry about accidentally injuring others.
Crimson and icy-blue lights shone brightly!
Currents of freezing cold and scorching heat swept toward the audience!
This was undoubtedly the most devastating—and the most spectacular—moment since the start of the preliminary rounds!
The numerous spectators in the arena were mesmerized by the spectacle.
A long while passed.
The icy-blue and crimson lights gradually faded…
Finally, when the light vanished, the stage was left in ruins.
Amid the ruins of the arena, Shui Bing'er stood there with great difficulty, supported by Xue Wu. Her gaze drifted blankly toward Yun Chuan, who stood not far away—neatly dressed, his hair not a strand out of place—as he slowly sheathed his sword.
She couldn't understand why this had happened.
Why had the fusion technique she and Xue Wu had used, combined with the power of her own Soul Source, been unable to defeat that man across from her?
Why on earth was that?
