Ice and Fire Collide

Ice and Fire Collide

Several girls chatted as they walked.

"The dean suddenly called us to the Training Ground. I wonder what's going on."

"Look, those three people behind the dean don't seem to be from our academy."

"They look about our age, like students. I wonder which academy they're from."

Shui Yue'er covered her mouth and giggled softly.

"That tall boy with the shoulder-length hair is so handsome."

"You little brat, getting lovestruck again."

As the girls chatted, they arrived at the center of the Training Ground.

Only then did Feng Xiaotian get a clear look at their faces.

Under normal circumstances, it was hard to go all out against such beautiful girls.

Meng Wanqing introduced the girls.

"This is Feng Xiaotian, captain of Godwind Academy's team for this Soul Master Tournament."

"These siblings are Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, the captain and vice-captain of Blazing Fire Academy's team."

The girls were all surprised.

So these three were the leading figures of rival academy teams.

Meng Wanqing then introduced Shui Bing'er's group to Feng Xiaotian and the other two.

"This is Captain Shui Bing'er."

"This is Vice-Captain Xue Wu."

"The team members are Shui Yue'er, Yu Hairou, Shen Liuyu, Gu Qingbo, and Qiu Ruoshui."

Shui Bing'er was about 1.65 meters tall, with a very well-proportioned figure.

She had long aqua-blue hair, delicate features, and fair skin. She was the type whose beauty grew on you.

Shui Yue'er was Shui Bing'er's half-sister through their father.

Unlike her sister, Shui Yue'er had dark green hair.

Among the seven girls, she looked the youngest, probably only around sixteen, with the innocent appearance of a girl who had yet to experience much of the world.

Xue Wu wore her black hair long, with snow-white skin and a tall figure. She looked stern and unsmiling.

The other four girls each had their own charms as well.

There was no doubt that every one of them was beautiful, with strength to match their looks.

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

Everyone exchanged greetings.

Meng Wanqing said to the girls, "They're all your opponents in this Soul Master Tournament, and they're quite formidable. Take this opportunity to spar with the two from Blazing Fire Academy."

"Alright!"

The girls all looked excited.

Quite a few female students gathered around.

Meng Wanqing said to the Huo siblings, "Since you two are the captain and vice-captain of Blazing Fire Academy's team, we'll send out our captain and vice-captain as well."

"Alright!"

Huo Wu answered with complete confidence.

She did not know who Feng Xiaotian had come for.

But no matter what, every girl here was her opponent. She had to give it her all.

Feng Xiaotian quietly reminded the siblings, "In the previous Soul Master Tournament, Skywater Academy lost to your Blazing Fire Academy. But this year's students are even more outstanding than before, so be careful."

Huo Wushuang nodded.

"Mm, got it."

Huo Wu was somewhat unconvinced.

"If we beat them once, we can beat them a second time. My brother and I aren't weak either, so stop worrying."

Feng Xiaotian knew very well that Blazing Fire Academy had no chance of winning this spar.

The siblings had no way to counter Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Ice Snow Falling.

Feng Xiaotian did not tell them this in advance, as that would have been unfair to the two girls from Skywater Academy.

After all, activating a Martial Soul Fusion Skill required time.

If the Huo siblings knew beforehand, they could disrupt them in advance and prevent them from activating their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Meng Wanqing nodded at Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu, signaling for them to step forward.

The two walked up and faced the Huo siblings.

Everyone else retreated, clearing the area for the four of them.

Once both sides had taken their positions, the spar was about to begin.

Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu were the first to reveal their Soul Rings.

"Huo Wushuang, level 39 Assault System Battle Soul Venerable!"

"Huo Wu, level 41 Control System Battle Soul Sect!"

The two girls from Skywater Academy were no less imposing.

"Shui Bing'er, level 42 Control System Battle Soul Sect!"

"Xue Wu, level 41 Support System Battle Soul Sect!"

In terms of Soul Power Level, Skywater Academy held the advantage.

However, in close combat, the Support System was at a disadvantage compared to the Assault System.

Thus, both sides had their own strengths.

To give Xue Wu time to prepare, Shui Bing'er launched the first attack.

"First Soul Skill, Ice Seal!"

Ice Seal was an instant-cast, group restriction skill that could freeze multiple people in ice at once.

Before Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang could react, they had already been sealed.

However, Ice Seal had a time limit. Moreover, the siblings possessed the Fire Attribute, which countered the water element.

Very quickly, the two broke free from Ice Seal's restraints.

Now it was their turn to counterattack.

"First Soul Skill, Tyrant Dragon Strike!"

"Third Soul Skill, Resisting Fire Ring!"

A fireball and a massive ring of flame flew toward Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu.

Shui Bing'er responded calmly.

"Second Soul Skill, Ice Ring Armor!"

This was a defensive Soul Skill that could cover herself and her allies in a layer of crystalline blue armor.

After neutralizing the siblings' attacks, Shui Bing'er immediately launched her counterattack.

"Third Soul Skill, Resisting Ice Ring!"

Resisting Ice Ring formed a repulsive ring of ice centered on Shui Bing'er and spreading outward. It could damage opponents while also knocking them away.

It worked on the same principle as Huo Wu's Resisting Fire Ring.

The only difference was that one used ice, while the other used fire.

Only then did Huo Wu feel the pressure.

"Brother, she's so strong! I underestimated her just now!"

"Mm. We need to be careful from here on."

"Got it!"

As a Support System Soul Master, Xue Wu's attacks were her weakness.

Fortunately, Shui Bing'er was calm and steady. As the soul of the team, she was highly intelligent.

From the start of the battle, she had grasped control of the situation and adapted to every change.

Her attack, defense, and counterattack created an opening for herself and Xue Wu to unleash their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Even if their opponents' reactions exceeded expectations, it was already too late to stop them.

Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky, shrouding the entire Training Ground.

The girls watching from the side excitedly danced and waved their arms.

"It's here! It's here! The two captains are going to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"

Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu were both shocked.

"It's that Support System Soul Master. She can actually control the weather!"

Before the siblings could react, a great deal of Ice Snow formed in the sky.

This was Xue Wu's prepared Soul Skill, Ice Snow.

Once activated, this Soul Skill could not be interrupted. Within its range, the temperature would drop drastically, weakening the opponent's combat ability.

The opponents had to continuously cover their bodies with Soul Power to resist the cold.

Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu shivered from the freezing cold.

Feng Xiaotian shook his head.

Shui Bing'er was the one leading the activation of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Ice Snow Falling.

Once it was unleashed, this clash between water and fire would be more or less over.
