A Contest Between Top-Tier Beast Souls
After waiting so long, an internal clash had finally come.
The last time at Skywater Academy's Training Ground, when Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu performed Martial Soul Fusion, Feng Xiaotian had merged the Wind Element into it and taken the dominant role.
Back then, Shui Bing'er had sensed that Feng Xiaotian was no ordinary person.
However, she had never fought him before and had only heard Dean Meng mention some of his feats.
She had not expected to get a chance to compete with him so soon.
Shui Bing'er and Feng Xiaotian walked toward the Soul Fighting passage together.
"Brother Tian, remember to go all out."
"Alright, I know."
The two passed through the Soul Fighting passage and stepped onto the stage together.
They were two unfamiliar faces again, and one of them was a girl whose beauty was no less than Huo Wu's and Shui Yue'er's.
Before the Soul Fighting match had even begun, the audience was already in an uproar.
The host stepped onto the Soul Fighting Platform, cleared his throat, and introduced them.
"This match is rather interesting. Both contestants are making their first appearance, and they are friends as well.
"Feng Xiaotian, who possesses the top-tier Mutated Beast Soul, the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf, will face Shui Bing'er, who possesses the top-tier ice-type Beast Soul, the Ice Phoenix.
"Both of them possess top-tier Beast Souls.
"One controls the Wind Element, while the other controls the water element.
"Who will emerge as the final victor? Let us wait and see!
"Now, the match officially begins!"
The host left the stage.
Feng Xiaotian and Shui Bing'er stood face-to-face at the center of the Soul Fighting Platform.
"Please."
Feng Xiaotian politely made a gesture inviting Shui Bing'er to make the first move.
Shui Bing'er returned the courtesy with a bow.
Unlike the previous matches, both sides released their Martial Souls the instant this Soul Fighting match began.
A blue Ice Phoenix clung to Shui Bing'er's body, sending chills down everyone's spine.
Two yellow and two purple Soul Rings, four in total, appeared around her at once. Her icy, razor-sharp aura brought an almost suffocating pressure.
The spectators in the stands all felt a wave of cold.
"Wow! So this is the power of the top-tier ice-type Beast Soul, the Ice Phoenix."
"The little girl from before was called Shui Yue'er, and this one is Shui Bing'er. They're both water-element types. Could they be sisters?"
"Looks like it. Shui Yue'er's combat skills were incredibly high. Shui Bing'er should be even stronger than her younger sister."
"Perhaps. She's already at the Soul Sect level."
Feng Xiaotian also released his Martial Soul, the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf.
At the same time, he revealed two yellow, one purple, and one black Soul Ring.
The sight on the stage shocked the audience once more.
"My god! His Fourth Soul Ring is actually a Ten Thousand Year black Soul Ring."
"A top-tier Mutated Beast Soul combined with a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring—this battle looks like it will be even more exciting than we imagined."
"Today's ticket was worth it. There have been several great matches, unlike before, when it was always just trash fighting trash."
Feng Xiaotian looked at Shui Bing'er calmly.
Although the match had yet to begin, both of them understood perfectly well.
There could only be one outcome to this contest: Shui Bing'er would ultimately lose.
Shui Bing'er had heard Dean Meng say that Feng Xiaotian had a way to break her Thousand Year Ice Seal.
That meant Feng Xiaotian had a way to neutralize ice-type Soul Skills.
Moreover, without Xue Wu, she could not perform the powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Ice Snow Falling.
But no matter what, Shui Bing'er had to give it a try.
She wanted to know the gap between herself and Feng Xiaotian.
First Soul Skill, Ice Seal.
Shui Bing'er launched the first attack.
In an instant, ice surged up from the ground and directly sealed Feng Xiaotian within it.
Feng Xiaotian had long mastered the third level of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, Supreme Yang Heat Qi.
This level of ice was nothing to him.
"Break!"
Without the slightest effort, Feng Xiaotian shattered the icy seal Shui Bing'er had placed on him.
Every audience member was stunned.
Those seated nearby could feel the cold and shivered from the chill.
Yet Feng Xiaotian, who had been completely encased in ice, had broken free in an instant.
First Soul Skill, Blade Array.
Feng Xiaotian counterattacked, sending spinning wind blades flying toward Shui Bing'er.
Second Soul Skill, Ice Ring Armor.
Blue armor instantly covered Shui Bing'er's body.
The wind blades struck the armor, producing a series of crisp clangs.
Third Soul Skill, Resisting Ice Ring.
Third Soul Skill, Gale Wings.
Resisting Ice Ring could damage an opponent while also knocking them away.
But like Resisting Fire Ring, it had range limitations.
Its attack range could cover the entire Soul Fighting Platform in diameter, but not in height; it could only reach a few meters upward.
Feng Xiaotian possessed Flight Ability and agile movements.
Therefore, this skill could not harm him in the slightest.
While flying through the air, Feng Xiaotian launched another counterattack at Shui Bing'er on the stage.
Self-Created Soul Skill, Wind Blade Cage.
In an instant, a whirlwind of spinning gales wrapped around Shui Bing'er.
The winds rotated too quickly for the audience to see Shui Bing'er's condition inside the Wind Blade Cage.
Shui Bing'er wanted to use a Soul Skill, but she felt as though all her strength had nowhere to go.
Although the Wind Blade Cage did not drain the trapped person's Soul Power like Shui Yue'er's Extreme Cold Tornado, it sealed its target in tightly, with rapidly spinning wind blades filling every inch.
Even if a gap was broken open, it would stitch itself back together, creating a suffocating and despairing feeling.
Feng Xiaotian continued exerting force.
The Wind Blade Cage was compressed smaller and smaller, while the wind blades spun faster and faster.
The audience was dumbfounded, all of them breaking into a cold sweat for Shui Bing'er.
"Why is that Wind Blade Cage getting smaller and smaller?"
"What exactly is that guy trying to do?!"
"If he keeps compressing it like this, that Wind Blade Cage might tear someone apart. He doesn't really intend to hurt that girl, does he?"
On the Soul Master viewing stand nearby, Shui Yue'er was nervous to the extreme.
It was her first time witnessing Feng Xiaotian's terrifying strength.
At the same time, she was worried about her sister.
"Big Sister is trapped. What if she really encounters an opponent like this in the future?"
"Don't worry, she'll be fine."
"Yeah! How many people in this world possess the Art of Wind Control that Brother Tian has?"
Huo Wushuang and Xiao Luo both comforted Shui Yue'er from beside her.
Huo Wu also patted her shoulder, signaling for her not to worry.
Suddenly, a Tornado carried Shui Bing'er into the air.
Shui Bing'er felt her body growing weightless.
Her Martial Soul was the Ice Phoenix, so she naturally possessed Flight Ability as well.
Although she could not see outside, she could sense that she was suspended in midair.
At that moment, she felt that the wind circling around her was no longer sharp. Instead, it had become gentle, as though invisible hands were supporting her, giving her a strong sense of security.
Feng Xiaotian slowly withdrew the wind.
Shui Bing'er, held aloft by the wind, gradually came into view. She slowly descended toward the center of the Soul Fighting Platform while spinning.
That graceful figure was like an angel descending into the mortal world.
The audience fell silent.
It seemed as though everyone had forgotten that a Soul Fighting match was taking place on the stage.
