Ice and Snow Wisdom Skull

"Sisters, attack!"

On the stage, Shui Bing'er shouted excitedly. They were facing Elephant Armor Academy's second team. Though it was only the second team, its strength could not be underestimated.

Right from the start, the Elephant Armor Battle Team used their signature move. Their First Soul Rings activated at once, further enhancing their defenses.

Their bodies swelled like lumps of flesh, even bursting through their clothes.

Seven balls of flesh charged at the seven members of the Tianshui Battle Team. It was like a clash between beauties and beasts—utterly incongruous.

Faced with such a sight, the seven Tianshui Battle Team members did not panic in the slightest. They exchanged glances, silently reaching a decision.

"Sisters, use what we practiced!"

"Yes!"

All seven moved together, their agile figures weaving among the seven Elephant Armor team members. Wherever they passed, a great chill instantly sealed the stage beneath their feet in frost.

Without slowing down, the seven girls spun rapidly, nimbly evading the Elephant Armor Battle Team's attacks.

Soon, the seven of them had covered the entire stage, every inch filled with icy air.

Shui Bing'er exchanged a glance with the other six. Having made their decision, their Soul Rings rose behind them, and the same Freezing Power activated at once.

Threads of ice suddenly rose across the stage, their power rapidly intensifying. Before the Elephant Armor Battle Team could react, the ice threads wrapped around their feet, and the bitter cold made it difficult for them to take another step.

"Use the Third Soul Skill!" The Elephant Armor Academy members had no intention of giving up. Their Third Soul Rings activated, and their defenses rose once more.

This time, the seven members of the Elephant Armor Battle Team actually curled into a cluster, transforming into a ball as they charged toward the Tianshui Battle Team.

The ball of flesh ignored the ice threads' restrictions and instantly reached the Tianshui Battle Team, intending to defeat them by sheer force.

"Together!"

The Tianshui Seven swiftly gathered ice spheres in their hands, their eyes fixed on the seven Elephant Armor fighters. Only when their opponents reached them did they take a deep breath and leap into the air.

After nearly three months of dance practice, their jumping ability had long since become exceptional. With this leap, they soared directly above the seven Elephant Armor team members.

The ice spheres in their hands slammed down fiercely, and that terrifying power struck the seven Elephant Armor fighters in an instant.

The seven balls of flesh halted, then collapsed directly onto the stage.

A flawless victory.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! The battle between beauties and beasts has finally ended! In the end, our beautiful ladies of Tianshui have claimed victory once again! Let's give them a round of applause!" the host shouted. As his words fell, thunderous applause erupted throughout the arena.

Despite the audience's enthusiasm, the seven Tianshui Battle Team members remained unmoved. Their eyes searched below, but they could not find the person they wanted to see.

"Strange, where's the captain?" Shui Yue'er asked in confusion. The others anxiously looked around below as well, but Long Jie was indeed nowhere to be seen.

"Don't worry. He might have gone back," Shui Bing'er said calmly, though unease stirred in her heart as well.

The group hurried back to Heavenly Water Academy and arrived at the familiar Training Ground, only to find it completely empty.

Now everyone became anxious. Where had Long Jie gone? How had he disappeared?

Shui Bing'er's expression darkened slightly. She hurried back to her room and flung open the door. Sure enough, a familiar figure was lying inside!

"Hey, hey, hey, why did you open the door? I'm trying to sleep!" Long Jie complained. He had finally gotten ready for bed—what was this supposed to be?

"Idiot, who told you to suddenly come back?" Shui Bing'er scolded angrily, yet she still threw herself into Long Jie's arms like a young girl.

Only after feeling the warmth of his embrace did she calm down somewhat.

The other Tianshui Battle Team members arrived behind her. Seeing this, they could not help but smile before quietly withdrawing.

"I have confidence in your strength. Forget a second team—even Elephant Armor Academy's main team wouldn't be able to beat you!" Long Jie explained.

In truth, Long Jie had returned early to pack his things. He had originally planned to finish packing and slip away before Shui Bing'er and the others returned, but he had not expected them to come back so quickly.

Elephant Armor's second team was simply too weak.

"Hmph! You idiot, even if we could win, you still had to watch! I wanted you to see how I won!" Shui Bing'er said coquettishly. After getting together with Long Jie, she had changed completely.

She had gone from an icy beauty to the gentle, affectionate girl she was now, and all of it was because of Long Jie's presence!

But what would happen if he were not there?

Long Jie felt a wave of worry in his heart, yet he said, "Bing'er, you look beautiful when you smile. Remember to smile more from now on!"

His hand lightly pressed at the corners of Shui Bing'er's mouth, making her form a smile.

Shui Bing'er slapped his hand away and rolled her beautiful eyes at him. "Got it. I'll listen to you, all right?"

She smiled knowingly. When she was with the one she loved, there was no need to be cold. With him by her side, her heart was warm.

Seeing her like this made Long Jie even more reluctant to leave. This girl was so beautiful—he truly did not want to leave her...

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully changing Shui Bing'er's personality and changing Heavenly Water Academy and the Tianshui Battle Team. Reward: Ice and Snow Wisdom Skull, Ice Heart Stone!"

Ice and Snow Wisdom Skull? Ice Heart Stone?

Long Jie knew what a skull bone was, but what was this Ice Heart Stone?

"Ding! Ice Heart Stone contains the power of ultimate ice from heaven and earth. It can be fused into the Seven Stars Blade!"

Seven Stars Blade? Long Jie instantly remembered the seven grooves on the Seven Stars Blade. Could they all be meant for placing things like these?

Wait, Tang Hao had given him a stone before too. Could that one also be...

With a thought, Long Jie did not rush to verify it. Instead, he smiled at Shui Bing'er and said gently, "Bing'er, close your eyes. I have something good for you!"

"What is it? You're being so mysterious!" Shui Bing'er felt a surge of delight and slowly closed her eyes.

Xiao Fan smiled and took out the Ice and Snow Wisdom Skull from the System, then slowly placed it atop Shui Bing'er's head. The skull radiated cold air all over and was shaped like a crown. Resting on Shui Bing'er's head, it made her look like an ethereal princess...

"What is this? It's so icy..." Shui Bing'er curiously reached up to touch it. It felt hard and freezing cold!

"Open your eyes and take a look!" Long Jie smiled, his gaze lingering fondly on Shui Bing'er.

Shui Bing'er knew nothing of this. When she opened her eyes and removed the Ice and Snow Wisdom Skull from her head, she was stunned.

"This is..."

Long Jie smiled and introduced it, "This is the Ice and Snow Wisdom Skull. It came from a fifty-thousand-year soul beast and can enhance ice and snow abilities. It suits you perfectly! Absorb it quickly!"

"Ah! You're giving it to me?" Shui Bing'er's heart leaped with joy, and her face flushed slightly. Could she really accept such a precious gift?

"It's in your hands, so naturally, it's yours!" Long Jie smiled without explaining further.

"Really? Thank you, A Jie!" Shui Bing'er was overwhelmed with excitement. She kissed Long Jie on the lips for a long while, and he responded to her.

After the kiss, Shui Bing'er got off the bed and hurried to the cabinet. She took out two sets of white clothes from inside and placed them in Long Jie's hands!!!
