At this moment, Huo Yuhao had successfully closed the distance and pressed in close to Liu Yuan.
A layer of crystal-clear ice covered his hands, the power of Extreme Ice compressed to its absolute limit, radiating a chill capable of freezing even the soul itself. Without holding anything back, he slammed both palms directly against Liu Yuan's chest, attempting to transmit the extreme cold at point-blank range and freeze Liu Yuan solid.
Yet in the face of such a lethal control technique, Liu Yuan remained completely indifferent.
He neither dodged nor raised a defensive posture.
Was it because he couldn't avoid the attack?
Of course not.
With Liu Yuan's current reaction speed and the explosive output provided by his soul core, evading Huo Yuhao's movement would have been effortless.
The reason he stood still was simple—there was no need.
Long ago, Liu Yuan had obtained Ice Attribute Immunity through the System. Since acquiring it, he had kept this ability hidden, as no previous opponent's ice-attribute spirit power had ever been strong enough to force him to reveal this trump card.
And now, Huo Yuhao was trying to control him with ice.
In Liu Yuan's eyes, this was nothing more than a futile struggle.
The instant the chill of Extreme Ice touched Liu Yuan's body, it surged inward violently. Under normal circumstances, such cold would instantly freeze an opponent's meridians and halt the circulation of their spirit power.
But when it entered Liu Yuan's body, it was like a stone sinking into the sea—utterly incapable of stirring even the slightest ripple.
The spirit power within Liu Yuan continued to circulate smoothly under the drive of his soul core. His body temperature didn't drop by even a fraction of a degree.
He tanked Huo Yuhao's full-power attack head-on.
Huo Yuhao was still in the midst of releasing his technique. He had believed that even if he couldn't defeat Liu Yuan, he could at least buy a few precious seconds for his teammates.
But the moment his hands made contact, his expression froze solid.
He could clearly sense that his Extreme Ice spirit power lost all destructive effect the instant it entered the field around Liu Yuan, as though it were being directly erased by some higher-level rule.
His attack had done absolutely nothing.
"T-This… this is impossible!" Huo Yuhao shouted, his eyes filled with unprecedented shock.
Liu Yuan looked down at him from point-blank range and smiled faintly. His voice wasn't loud, yet it rang clearly in the ears of every Shrek Team member.
"What a pity, Yuhao. Your intelligence gathering still wasn't thorough enough. I don't just have fire immunity—I also possess Ice Attribute Immunity. Using ice against me was the biggest mistake you could have made."
The moment those words fell, the remaining members of the Shrek Team felt as if they had been struck by lightning, their minds plunging into shock.
The "Extreme Ice Control Plan" they had meticulously prepared had instantly turned into a complete joke.
"Ice and fire dual immunity?! How can such a physique even exist?!" Bei Bei shouted in disbelief.
Liu Yuan did not give them any time to dwell on it.
"Since you've already made your move, it's my turn now."
His gaze sharpened in an instant.
He threw a casual punch.
The motion looked slow, yet it triggered a deafening sonic boom from extreme spatial compression.
Bang!
Huo Yuhao had no time to defend. The punch landed squarely on his chest. Even with the protection of Extreme Ice, a terrifying force flooded his body. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward like a kite with its string cut.
"Yuhao!"
Wang Donger cried out in alarm. Her butterfly wings flared as she shot into the air, barely catching Huo Yuhao before he slammed into the ground.
But before she could even catch her breath, Liu Yuan vanished from his position once more.
Extreme Speed.
Whoosh.
Before anyone could track his movement, Liu Yuan appeared behind Wang Donger without warning.
His cold, glowing dragon eyes looked down at the two of them, his voice utterly merciless.
"Go down."
Both hands struck forward, pressing firmly against Wang Donger's back.
A massive, suffocating surge of spirit power erupted. Wang Donger felt an overwhelming force shove both her and Huo Yuhao outward.
Before they could stabilize themselves, the two were blasted off the stage, crashing heavily into the outer protective barrier.
The entire stadium was stunned.
From the start of the match until now, only a few dozen seconds had passed—yet the core spirit fusion duo of the Shrek Team had already been taken out by Liu Yuan alone.
In the Shrek Academy viewing area, Ma Xiaotao slumped back into her seat, her face filled with shock.
She stared at Liu Yuan's back, murmuring repeatedly, "As expected… it still can't be done. Even after all that planning, we still have no chance against him."
Xuan Zi's composure completely collapsed. He slammed the armrest in front of him, his face twisted with fury and frustration.
"Damn it! How can this be?! Where did that kid's ice immunity come from? Are we really going to lose again?!"
On the stage, Liu Yuan had no intention of stopping after dealing with just two people.
For him, the moment he chose to act, this battle had already entered its countdown.
Activating Extreme Speed again, his body transformed into a streak of emerald-green lightning as he began a ruthless sweep across the narrow stage.
The first target was He Caitou.
He didn't even have time to adjust the muzzle of his soul tool cannon before a whip kick slammed into his shoulder. Both he and his entire array of spirit tools were sent flying straight off the field.
Next was Xiao Xiao.
She attempted to recall the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron for defense, but Liu Yuan was simply too fast to lock onto. As he passed by her side, the shockwave alone sent the already backlash-stricken Xiao Xiao tumbling off the stage.
Then came Bei Bei and Jiang Nannan.
Bei Bei tried to make a final stand with the lightning of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, but under Extreme Speed, the kinetic force behind each of Liu Yuan's strikes rivaled the full-powered blow of a Titled Douluo.
Bei Bei's dragonized right arm was dislocated in the clash, while Jiang Nannan's teleportation was completely anticipated by Liu Yuan's intuition.
Both were swept off the stage almost simultaneously by his overwhelming spirit power.
In less than a minute, the once orderly Shrek Team left behind an empty half of the arena.
Meanwhile, on the opposite side, Xu Sanshi—who had used Black Tortoise Replacement to face the Sun Moon Royal Team one-against-six—was still holding on.
As Shrek's strongest defensive Spirit Master, once he activated Mysterious Turtle Awakening, his defensive power truly underwent a qualitative leap. Relying on his mountain-like shield, he had even managed to withstand a powerful spear strike from Wang Qiuer.
The violent impact split the webbing between his thumb and forefinger. Panting heavily, Xu Sanshi steadied himself, intending to glance back and see whether his teammates had succeeded in taking down Liu Yuan.
But the moment he turned his head and saw the battlefield behind him, he froze.
His mind went blank, followed by a wave of numbness.
In his field of vision, the six teammates who were supposed to have focused their fire and killed Liu Yuan were nowhere to be seen. Every single one of them lay scattered in the pits and ruins below the stage.
And there, standing calmly at the center of the arena, was Liu Yuan—dusting off his hands and looking over at him with an unhurried expression.
"Crap! Where did everyone go? How the hell are we supposed to fight now?!"
Xu Sanshi couldn't help but curse out loud. He had never imagined that while he was risking his life to stall the Sun Moon Royal Team, his own main force would be completely wiped out by the opposing captain alone—within less than a minute.
The utter collapse of their tactics made Xu Sanshi feel, for the first time in his life, a powerful urge to simply jump off the stage himself.
