Under the continuous immersion and flushing of that vast and majestic life force, the internal balance of the Ice Phoenix was completely broken.
The extreme cold could no longer maintain its perfect ice crystal structure, and the immense life force of the Blue Silver Emperor was like a warm spring breeze, awakening the water activity of the ice.
With a 'bang' sound, this sound was not the muffled thud of an explosion.
It was more like the sound of a ten-thousand-year-old mysterious ice suddenly disintegrating!
The huge and magnificent Ice Phoenix in the air did not shatter into countless ice crystals.
Instead, under everyone's incredulous gaze, its massive body rapidly melted and liquefied like a snowman in the sun!
From a lifelike Ice Phoenix form, it transformed into a huge water ball that had lost its fixed shape, constantly twisting and expanding!
Immediately after, this water ball, containing immense Soul Power and residual cold Qi, could no longer maintain its suspension and crashed to the ground like a cascading river!
"Whoosh!"
The enormous gush of water impacted the solid Douhun Stage, splashing water everywhere and instantly making more than half of the arena soaking wet.
The moment the Ice Phoenix completely disintegrated.
A wave of residual cold Qi, having lost its core control yet still piercingly cold, swept out towards the surrounding spectator stands like an uncontrolled shockwave!
"Hiss!"
"So cold!"
"Achoo!"
The spectators in the stands were hit head-on by this sudden cold current. Even with the protective barrier, they could still feel the bone-chilling cold, and they all gasped, involuntarily pulling their clothes tighter, their teeth chattering, as a chorus of shivers and sneezes rose and fell.
At this moment, on the Douhun Stage.
Shui Binger and Xue Wu's figures separated in the light. Both were pale as paper, staggering and barely able to stand. Looking at the slowly dissipating Blue Silver Great Buddha opposite them and Tang Chuan descending from the sky, their eyes were filled with shock, unwillingness, and a hint of bewilderment.
Their strongest trump card had been effortlessly broken by the opponent?
Shui Binger still didn't understand why she lost.
In that instant, the temperature on the Douhun Stage had dropped to an extremely terrifying level. Coupled with their control over the cold current, even a level 60 Soul Master probably couldn't easily defeat them, yet this man in front of her had done it.
And he looked so relaxed.
Shui Binger's face was now completely pale. Having overdrawn her Soul Power, she needed Xue Wu's support to barely stand steady.
Slowly descending from mid-air, Tang Chuan walked towards the girls of Tianshui Academy.
"Can you tell me how you did it? Our Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Ice and Snow Dance—even a Spirit Emperor wouldn't dare to face it head-on."
Looking at the blue-haired young man walking slowly towards her, Shui Binger clutched her chest and couldn't help but cough. Her ice-blue beautiful eyes were filled with unwillingness and confusion, and she spoke with some difficulty.
Slowly stopping, Tang Chuan did not tell Shui Binger that he had previously consumed the immortal-grade Martial Soul herbs Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Fierce Flame Apricot Jiao, which had made him immune to all cold and fire attributes.
"Your ice is very strong. The extreme low temperature is enough to freeze Soul Power. But no matter how cold it is, its essence still cannot escape the category of water. And water is the source of life."
As he spoke, he looked at the water stains on the ground that had not yet completely dried.
"I didn't use brute force to resist your cold; that would only result in mutual destruction. I merely... used the Blue Silver Emperor, which contains extreme life force, to touch and penetrate your ice."
"When a sufficiently powerful life aura poured in, your solid state, maintained by extreme low temperatures, was broken. It's like injecting warm vitality into frozen ground in severe cold; solid ice will gradually melt and turn back into flowing water. All I did was accelerate this process, using my life force to forcibly awaken the activity of water that you had frozen under extreme cold."
At the end of his explanation, Tang Chuan said no more.
He simply raised his hand gently, and the Blue Silver Emperor vines Binding Shui Yueer, Yu Hairou, and the other five quietly loosened as if alive, then rapidly retracted into the ground and disappeared.
Immediately after, his black fourth spirit ring lit up.
Suddenly, a clear cry echoed on the Douhun Stage, and the ethereal Emerald Swan phantom slowly spread its wings behind him, radiating an extremely rich life aura.
The next second, the Emerald Swan phantom gently flapped its wings.
A soft and expansive emerald green halo, like ripples, slowly spread out, precisely enveloping all the Tianshui Academy team members.
As the emerald light touched their bodies, the girls of Tianshui Academy immediately felt an incredibly warm and vibrant vitality surge into their limbs and bones. The weakness from Soul Power overdraw rapidly receded, internal injuries caused by energy backlash and cold Qi impact were quickly repaired, and even mental fatigue was swept away.
In just a few breaths, their condition recovered by more than half!
"Your Blue Silver Grass... not only can control and attack opponents, but it also... possesses such powerful healing abilities?"
"One Martial Soul, Cultivating in three directions simultaneously? This... how is this possible?"
Feeling the rapidly recovering Soul Power and injuries within her body, and then looking at the gradually dissipating Emerald Swan phantom, Shui Binger's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief, and she couldn't help but ask.
"The Blue Silver Grass is the most vigorous plant on the Douluo Continent. Its vines are naturally flexible and possess the ability of Binding. Developing it along this path naturally allows it to restrain enemies."
Hearing this, Tang Chuan smiled faintly, then hinted, "I wouldn't be like some fools who, despite guarding a treasure mountain, are unaware of it and instead forcefully attach those superfluous control-type spirit rings and poison spirit rings to the Blue Silver Grass. This is simply putting the cart before the horse, utterly foolish."
His words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Shui Binger's ears.
And through the amplification equipment, they vaguely spread throughout the entire silent arena.
Everyone could hear the strong implication in his words!
Upon hearing this, Shui Binger's pupils immediately constricted. She immediately thought of another Soul Master in this competition who also used Blue Silver Grass but took the control system route, attaching poison-attribute spirit rings to his Blue Silver Grass, yet seemed to have... never displayed such pure life and healing power.
Tang San of Shrek Academy!
After hearing Tang Chuan's explanation, especially the last merciless sarcasm, the entire Great Spirit Arena, after a brief silence, was instantly engulfed by various discussions and exclamations.
"My goodness, is this the correct way to Cultivate the Blue Silver Grass? It can both control and heal, combining offense and defense, with infinite potential!"
"Isn't it! Now think about that Tang San from Shrek! His Blue Silver Grass only binds people and is poisonous. One is like a weed on the ground, and the other is a divine tree in the sky!"
"Bah! Before, I thought his Blue Silver Grass control was quite powerful, but now that I see it, he clearly went down the wrong path! What an idiot! He completely wasted a perfectly good top-tier talent!"
"More than just an idiot! It's a complete waste of natural resources! I heard his teacher, that Master Yu Xiaogang, has invincible theories? Is this it? Teaching students to Cultivate their Martial Souls into uselessness?"
