Absolute Zero

Only by defeating the powerful enemy before her could she prove her strength and worth as a follower.

And so, Zhu Wuxin charged fearlessly into that world of ice crystals.

"Fourth Soul Skill—Martial Soul Avatar!"

As Zhu Wuxin's purple soul ring rapidly rippled outward, a Nine-Toothed Rake appeared in her left hand as well.

To be honest, the soul skill Martial Soul Avatar was indeed extremely practical, and plenty of soul masters possessed it.

However, in the Ding Clan, almost no one chose this soul skill, because the Nine-Toothed Rake was too long, and its center of gravity was difficult to control.

The main reason Zhu Wuxin had chosen this soul skill was because she wanted to achieve dual-handed attacks.

However, this method of attack placed extremely high demands on her control. Without the support of the martial technique Hand Waving Five Strings, it would have been very difficult for her to control both Nine-Toothed Rakes at the same time.

Zhu Wuxin's attempt could also be considered exploring a new path for the Ding Clan.

In the world of soul masters, constant innovation and exploration were extremely important.

At this moment, Zhu Wuxin, who stood only a little over one meter sixty and had a bit of baby fat, held in each hand a Nine-Toothed Rake far longer than her own frame, making her look exceptionally striking and strange.

Her figure was agile as she advanced with violent force. That mismatched, bizarre sight nonetheless radiated a soul-shaking power.

"Dragon Wheel!"

The rake in her left hand instantly erupted with dazzling light. A water dragon coiled upward around it, vivid and lifelike, its scales flashing and its eyes bright with spirit.

"Phoenix Wheel!"

Immediately afterward, the rake in her right hand also burst with blinding radiance. The shadow of a fire phoenix spread its wings and soared, flames surging.

These two were Earth Grade Wheels, the profound manifestation of the Dragon and Phoenix Rune Diagram on the Nine-Toothed Rake.

The dragon and phoenix seemed to truly come alive in her hands. They circled and danced, emitting a pressure that gripped the soul.

That astonishing might made even the surrounding air stagnate.

"Sound Fifth Form, Resounding Strings in Overlapping Performance!"

As Zhu Wuxin's low shout fell, the Nine-Toothed Rakes in both her hands abruptly accelerated their rotation, turning into two enormous wheels of light.

On the wheels of light, the water dragon and fire phoenix wove and danced together, forming a magnificent yet dangerous scene.

Like a fierce war god general, Zhu Wuxin swung the two enormous wheels of light and crushed forward.

The ice pillars blocking her path shattered one after another before that unmatched force, turning into fine powder as she broke through everything in her way!

The power of water and fire, combined with the gorgeous Sound Breathing Technique, was perfect for dealing with the power of ice.

She broke through all the way, blasted through all the way, shattered through all the way!

Blooming Flowers, Bloody Scene—an uncanny beauty!

Seeing this, Ling Xinyao could not help but pale slightly.

She had not expected Zhu Wuxin to be able to break through her Three Thousand Miles of Ice Seal to such an extent.

At this moment, an even deeper wariness toward Zhu Wuxin's strength could not help but rise in her heart.

Zhu Wuxin's fierce attack had indeed caused a huge commotion among the audience.

They watched as this girl swung the enormous Nine-Toothed Rake wheels of light with astonishing power and speed, and the sight was a little hard on the eyes.

"She's too fierce. That Attack Power is seriously too strong!"

"Spinning two wheels around—interesting, way too interesting."

"A baby-faced girl fights this ferociously? Is she going for gap moe?"

"She's practically a female tyrannosaurus. I'm afraid even those Power Attack Type soul masters aren't as fierce as her."

"What do you know? She's not just Power Attack Type, she's also fused in the traits of an Agility Attack Type. Truly incredible."

Ling Xinyao stared at the brave, fearless Zhu Wuxin, who carried a strong aura of danger. Seeing her draw within only a dozen meters, an unyielding fighting spirit ignited in Ling Xinyao's heart. I can't lose here!

She took a deep breath and shouted in a low voice, "Arcane Absolute Zero!"

Ice-cold chill began surging around Ling Xinyao, carrying the sense that it could seal all things in ice and freeze everything solid.

Below the stage, Ling Changchuan's expression changed drastically at the sight. He anxiously leaped toward the stage while shouting loudly, "Xinyao, don't!"

However, Ling Xinyao's mind was already made up.

It happened in the blink of an eye!

As the cold air continued to be released, Ling Xinyao instantly lowered the temperature of the surrounding space to extreme cold.

This was the ultimate secret art of the Bei Chen Ling Family. Although with her current strength, forcing herself to use it above her level still could not truly reach theoretical absolute zero, the chill it released was already intense enough to freeze opponents of the same level.

As Zhu Wuxin advanced with ferocious speed, she suddenly felt a bone-piercing chill rush straight at her.

Ice crystals rapidly covered her body, and her movements became more and more difficult.

Just as the ice crystals were about to spread over half her body, she used the last of her strength to hurl the twin Dragon and Phoenix Wheels in her left and right hands viciously at Ling Xinyao.

Those two wheels of attack carried Zhu Wuxin's final hope and determination. With dragon roars and phoenix cries, they cut through the ice-cold air, bringing a whistling wind as they shot straight toward Ling Xinyao.

At this moment, victory or defeat would be decided in a single move.

And after Ling Xinyao unleashed Absolute Zero, she injured herself before she could injure others. Suffering the backlash of the cold, she was likewise covered in a layer of ice and unable to move.

She could only watch helplessly as the Dragon and Phoenix Wheels flew rapidly toward her from left and right.

The entire arena fell into silence at that moment.

Just as things hung by a thread, two sudden pa! pa! sounds rang out. Two figures appeared on the battlefield like lightning, knocking the Dragon and Phoenix Wheels away with speed too fast for the ear to cover after the thunderclap.

They were Ling Yunxiao and the clone split off by his soul skill, Fan Shadow Split.

Ling Yunxiao's strength far surpassed Ling Changchuan, who was at Soul Saint Level. His speed was greater, his reactions sharper, and he resolved Ling Xinyao's crisis.

Immediately after, Ling Yunxiao's main body and clone quickly turned around and began absorbing the cold energy from Ling Xinyao's body.

Their movements were swift and orderly; clearly, they had ample experience dealing with this kind of situation.

At this time, Ling Changchuan also leaped onto the stage and joined in absorbing the cold energy.

With the two of them working together, the cold energy on Ling Xinyao's body was quickly absorbed.

Though her face was pale, her life was no longer in danger.

On the other side, Zhu Yanfeng had also acted long ago, shattering the layer of ice sealing Zhu Wuxin and channeling Soul Power into her to help drive out the cold.

Ding Bingyuan followed closely after, flashing onto the stage and circulating his Fire Attribute Soul Power to melt the remaining ice on Zhu Wuxin's body.

After a period of frantic treatment, although their lips were bluish-purple, their faces pale, and their bodies terribly weak, they were no longer in serious danger.

However, Ling Xinyao and Zhu Wuxin had long since fainted.

Since both of them were unable to continue fighting, they were carried down by members of their respective families.

Chief Judge Zhu Yanfeng then announced the match result: "After an intense battle, both sides have done everything they could."

"Since Ling Xinyao and Zhu Wuxin lost their ability to fight at the same time, this match is judged a draw."

This heart-stopping duel finally came to an end.

Although the result was somewhat regrettable, Ling Xinyao and Zhu Wuxin's outstanding performances had already won applause from everyone present.
