Bound with Invisible Things

Bound with Invisible Things

Amid the howling gale, the dense Wind Element and Ice Element around them gathered rapidly into the Ice and Snow Storm at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.

This was an elemental combination of wind and ice.

The ice-blue Ice and Snow Storm was still expanding, as if it meant to devour the entire Competition Stage. At that moment, the airflow on the Competition Stage had been completely seized by the Wind Pillar, and large amounts of ice crystal fragments condensed into shape around it, beginning to rotate with the center of the storm. Nowhere on the Competition Stage could escape the ravaging Ice and Snow Storm. Cut by the fierce wind and ice crystals, even the white Soul Guidance Barrier that had activated on its own around the stage rippled in waves.

The expressions on Zhang Yangzi's and Wang Jinxi's faces could not help changing once more. They were certain that if they stayed on the Competition Stage to face this complete version of the Ice and Snow Storm, even if they used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, there was no way they could withstand it.

The Ice and Snow Storm simply was not a soul skill that Soul Masters of their level could unleash. In terms of attack range and destructive power, it was almost comparable to a Thousand Year Level Fourth Soul Skill launched at full strength by a Soul Ancestor.

Under normal circumstances, only Soul Masters with cultivation at the Soul Ancestor level or above could possess such a large-area destructive soul skill.

Gu Yue's strength undoubtedly added more suspense to this duel. Around the Competition Stage, the teachers and students of Donghai Academy watching the battle all felt as if they were holding their breath. Even Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, who had just been rescued by Long Hengxu, were the same.

Long Hengxu and Wu Zhangkong, meanwhile, were watching the situation on the Competition Stage with total focus. The moment anything went wrong, they would intervene immediately.

Yu Nanyuan and Gu Yue stood at opposite ends of the Competition Stage, gazing at each other from afar. As the ones involved, however, their expressions were astonishingly identical, calm and utterly unruffled.

The dense ice crystals driven into high-speed rotation by the Wind Pillar finally arrived before Yu Nanyuan. In his vision, the scene at that instant seemed to freeze, countless sharp ice crystals suspended around him.

At the same time, a dazzling silver light bloomed above his head. The Void Chains Body appeared, then began to whirl rapidly around his body in rhythmic motion.

The ice-blue Ice and Snow Storm enveloped him within it, while at the core of this Ice and Snow Storm, another silver storm appeared. One ice crystal after another was crushed by the Power of Spatial Cutting contained in the Void Chain Wedge, turning into hazy ice mist that drifted outward.

Ice-blue and bright silver remained clearly divided. The Ice and Snow Storm could never invade even the slightest bit into the Silver Storm.

"He's imitating my soul skill?!" Xie Xie's eyes widened at once, filled with disbelief. What left him feeling most defeated was that the ability Yu Nanyuan had simulated purely through his Martial Soul was far stronger than his Dual Dragon Storm.

Has the gap between him and me really already reached this point?

Xie Xie involuntarily clenched both fists, a wave of dejection rising in him.

As for which was stronger between Tool Martial Souls and Beast Martial Souls, no clear conclusion had been reached in the tens of thousands of years since Soul Masters first appeared. But one thing was certain: compared with Beast Martial Souls, Tool Martial Souls had more uncertainty, or rather, greater creativity.

And those astonishingly talented Tool Soul Masters could often comprehend perfectly compatible Self-Created Soul Skills through their own Martial Souls. In other words, the upper limit of Tool Martial Souls was far higher than that of Beast Martial Souls, unless it was a True Dragon Martial Soul at the level of the Nine Great Dragon Kings or above. Because of that, the overwhelming majority of the peak experts of the current age were Tool Soul Masters. For example, the pair of senior and junior brothers Skybearing Douluo Yun Ming and Transcendent Douluo Guan Yue, as well as the Tang Sect's Heartless Douluo and Amorous Douluo, and so on.

For Tool Soul Masters, soul skills did not represent everything. By comprehending their own Martial Souls, the abilities they created were not necessarily weaker than soul skills.

Under the protection of the Void Chains, Yu Nanyuan slowly raised his right hand as if sensing something.

"Chains of Heaven that traverse the void, bind with invisible things."

The purple First Soul Ring shone, and wondrous silver runes emerged from the void above the Competition Stage. One abnormally thick Silver Chain after another wrapped around the core region of the constantly shifting Ice and Snow Storm.

It was clearly an illusory, formless thing, yet it was as if it possessed a true physical form, struggling madly under the restraints of Yu Nanyuan's First Soul Skill Void Dragon Locking Array.

After only a few breaths, that astonishingly powerful Ice and Snow Storm abruptly came to a halt. The ice crystals suspended high in the air fell to the ground, releasing a string of crisp sounds as they shattered, like a beautiful hymn that awakened the teachers and students of Donghai Academy Intermediate Division around the Competition Stage.

The entire place was deathly still. Every gaze converged on Yu Nanyuan alone.

"His soul skill can actually bind and suppress the formless Ice and Snow Storm?!"

The same thought appeared in the mind of everyone present at almost the same time. This was simply like an ability bestowed by a god. If Yu Nanyuan truly grew up, would he not be able to use this soul skill to bind true Natural Disasters like tsunamis and typhoons?

It was as if he had been blessed by the World Will, a Child of the Plane born in response to calamity.

This was especially true for Wu Zhangkong. Even when he had once studied in Shrek Academy Inner Court, he had never heard of such a special soul skill.

On the Competition Stage, there seemed to be a bit more of an indescribable meaning in Gu Yue's gaze as she looked at Yu Nanyuan, no longer as cold and indifferent as before. A flash of green light flickered over her body, and with the support of Wind Element Power, her speed suddenly increased.

Her hands moved rapidly through the air, as if weaving an invisible piece of music. Clusters of fireballs, streams of icicles, and chunks of rock immediately shot overwhelmingly toward Yu Nanyuan.

Yu Nanyuan frowned slightly, somewhat unable to understand Gu Yue's intention. If she truly wanted to defeat him, an attack of this level could not possibly work on him.

With his will following his thoughts, countless Silver Chains crisscrossed through the space above the Competition Stage. His figure also flickered several times, crossing through the elemental attacks Gu Yue had unleashed and arriving in front of her.

The Void Chains Body shrank and coiled around his right arm. The Silver Wedge, similar to a long, narrow spear tip, was firmly controlled by him as he slashed it horizontally toward Gu Yue.

Their gazes met as their figures crossed, their faces drawing close. They could even clearly feel the warm breaths between them. This was also Yu Nanyuan testing Gu Yue's attitude toward him. He could not be blamed for being cautious; after all, right now he truly could not afford to provoke this one.

A slightly unnatural blush rose on Gu Yue's cheeks, not only because she had felt the aura on Yu Nanyuan's body, but also because of that invisible yet intense attraction and sense of closeness.

As the other half of Dragon God, the Son of Origin, she was destined to be inextricably entangled with the Son of End.

Once she reacted, she hurriedly controlled Space Attribute Element and Teleported ten meters backward.

Noticing Gu Yue's abnormality, Yu Nanyuan seemed to realize something. His left hand closed around empty air, and the First Soul Skill Void Dragon Locking Array was activated again.

The Power of Spatial Imprisonment attached to the Void Chains directly imprisoned the space around Gu Yue, making her unable to mobilize the Space Attribute Element within that area any longer. Immediately afterward, one chain after another shuttled in from the void and bound Gu Yue up tightly.

The seven-colored light flickering in Gu Yue's eyes uncontrollably dimmed, but her gaze grew brighter and brighter, completely unaware of how shameful her current posture was while bound by the Void Chains.
