Eliminating Xue Wu

The two teams showed perfect coordination, tacitly ceasing their attacks at the same time. They each caught their breath and took a brief moment to recover.

At present, Skywater Academy had already lost two Soul Elders; Blazing Academy, meanwhile, had lost one Soul Ancestor and one Soul Elder.

Just then, Xue Wu of Skywater Academy began to dance lightly in place. The four spirit rings on her body flashed alternately, their light dazzling. In an instant, dark clouds rapidly gathered overhead, followed by bean-sized raindrops pouring down from the sky.

Seeing this, Jia Youcai instantly understood what the other side intended.

"We absolutely can't let that person fully unleash her spirit skill!" Jia Youcai shouted at everyone, pointing at Xue Wu of Skywater Academy.

Chi Lingxuan exerted all her strength and quickly produced four Spicy Hot Strips, steadily delivering them into the hands of her four teammates.

"Xiao Zhuo, let's join forces and attack that spot. They definitely won't have time to finish setting up." Jia Youcai pointed toward Xue Wu's position.

"Got it." Yan Lingzhuo followed closely behind Jia Youcai and leaped into the air.

Jia Youcai had already made his calculations. If Xue Wu wanted to fully unleash this large-scale area attack, she had to complete every movement without leaving her spot.

She can't move? That makes things easy!

Who on the other side can withstand my Phoenix Roaring Heaven Strike?

Wait, there really does seem to be someone who can.

Jia Youcai's gaze inadvertently swept toward Bing Liyue. He muttered to himself, My Ice Empress, if you make a move, we really won't be able to play this match.

Please don't make a move. You absolutely can't make a move!

To outsiders, Bing Liyue's spirit ring configuration was two yellow, two purple, and one black. But through the system, Jia Youcai saw five black spirit rings, each over twenty thousand years old!

Though she appeared to be only level fifty-seven, that was all fake, something like an illusion. Her true strength was such that even a Soul Sage might not be able to defeat her.

All he could say was, an XX expert was terrifying indeed!

We agreed on this, so don't make a move!

According to the original plan, Yan Lingzhuo would act first and force out Shui Bing'er's Resisting Ice Ring. Then, with the enhancement from his Second and Third Spirit Rings, he would unleash his Fourth Spirit Skill. There was no way Xue Wu could block it.

Soul Power surged violently around Yan Lingzhuo as her Third Spirit Ring suddenly lit up with a brilliant glow.

"Flying Fire Meteor!"

With a sharp cry, she thrust both hands forward. Countless flaming meteors carrying scorching heat howled toward Xue Wu's position.

Seeing this, Shui Bing'er's expression hardened. She instantly saw through Blazing Academy's intentions.

Without hesitation, she unleashed her Resisting Ice Ring. A massive icy-blue halo rapidly expanded outward with Xue Wu at its center, blocking Yan Lingzhuo's Flying Fire Meteors wherever it reached.

As ice and fire intertwined, repeated explosions rang out.

Jia Youcai had been watching the battle closely. The instant Shui Bing'er unleashed her Resisting Ice Ring, a glint flashed through his eyes. He knew his chance had come.

His Second and Third Spirit Rings lit up simultaneously, powerful Soul Power surging through his body like a rushing river. Then he shouted, and his Fourth Spirit Ring blazed brilliantly. A gigantic phoenix phantom appeared behind him and let out a cry that shook the heavens.

"Phoenix Roaring Heaven Strike!"

In an instant, with Xue Wu's position as its center, space within the designated surrounding area began to shake violently. The force generated by the spatial tremors distorted the air, producing piercing shrieks.

Immediately afterward, a thick pillar of fire shot skyward from the center of the turbulent space. Blazing flames roared fiercely, igniting the surrounding air and making it unbearably hot.

Xue Wu had no way to withstand this fierce attack. Even with Shui Bing'er's Resisting Ice Ring and Ice Ring Armor protecting her, it was useless. The moment she sensed the terrifying spatial tremors and the pillar of fire rising into the sky, her face turned pale as paper.

As long as Bing Liyue did not intervene, no one could save her. She could only obediently leave the field.

Sure enough, Bing Liyue really did not make a move. With her arms folded, she simply watched coldly as Xue Wu was eliminated before she could finish unleashing her spirit skill.

With Xue Wu eliminated, Skywater Academy's Martial Soul Fusion Skill could no longer be used.

As Xue Wu left the arena, Shui Bing'er's expression immediately turned extremely grim. Her gaze drifted involuntarily toward Bing Liyue beside her.

No. Sister Li Yue has already helped us eliminate one of their Soul Ancestors. We can't always rely on her strength.

On Blazing Academy's side, Jia Youcai felt his body go limp the moment he finished releasing that attack.

Damn, does the Mana Bar drain that fast? Jia Youcai groaned inwardly.

He landed on the ground and immediately went over to Chi Lingxuan.

"Quick, give me two." Jia Youcai held out his hand directly.

Chi Lingxuan rolled her eyes at Jia Youcai irritably, but still quickly handed him two Spicy Hot Strips.

Jia Youcai stuffed one into his mouth with each bite and wolfed them down. Only then did the Soul Power in his body slowly recover somewhat. He wiped his mouth, his gaze turning sharp again as he stared intently at Skywater Academy's team.

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. She knew that with Xue Wu eliminated, Skywater Academy's advantage had been greatly reduced. They had to be even more cautious in the coming battle.

She looked at her teammates beside her and said softly, "Don't panic, everyone. We still have a chance. From here on, we need to change tactics, stall for time as much as possible, and look for their weaknesses."

The Skywater Academy members nodded one after another and swiftly adjusted their state. Shui Bing'er's eyes narrowed as her Fourth Spirit Ring suddenly lit up, her lips moving in a chant. In an instant, the surrounding temperature plunged, and tiny ice crystals began to condense in the air.

"Absolute Ice Prison!" Shui Bing'er cried. Centered on her, a massive icy-blue cage rapidly took shape, enveloping everyone from Blazing Academy. The cage was formed from solid ice and radiated bone-piercing cold.

Trapped within it, the Blazing Academy members felt a wave of chill rush at them, and a thin layer of ice instantly covered their bodies. Startled, Jia Youcai shouted, "Everyone be careful! This ice prison isn't simple. Don't let yourselves get frozen!"

At that moment, a resolute glint flashed through Huo Wu's eyes. Her Fourth Spirit Ring lit up as well, flames blazing around her and making her look like a goddess of fire.

"Huo Wu Blazing Sun!" Huo Wu cried as she raised both hands. A huge fireball rapidly condensed above her head.

At Huo Wu's command, the fireball fiercely blasted toward the top of the ice prison.

Scorching flames collided with solid ice, producing a deafening boom. Ice and fire intertwined, generating massive amounts of steam. The entire arena was instantly shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.
