Shui Bing'er's Invitation

Gu Qingbo hesitated before asking, "Should we just step down?"

"Yes, the power of ' Ice Snow Falling ' is too great; we probably can't withstand it!"

Shen Liuyu recalled the terrifying power of the two captains' Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and her body trembled involuntarily.

Yu Hairou frowned and calmly analyzed, "Even ' Ice Snow Falling ' might not be enough to win over Zhu Zhuqing."

After a moment's thought, she made a decision. "Let's retreat to the edge of the ring and be ready to provide backup. If we really can't take it, we should get off the stage immediately and not force ourselves!"

"Understood!" the four replied in unison.

As the only Soul Ancestor besides the two captains of the Skywater Academy, Yu Hairou still holds a certain prestige within the team.

At this moment, the temperature on the arena suddenly dropped.

The fine drizzle in the air transformed into countless sharp ice blades, carrying a bone-chilling cold, sweeping down towards the Shrek group.

"Second Soul Skill: Phoenix Bathing in Fire!"

"First Soul Skill: Phoenix Fireline!"

Ma Hongjun rushed in front of the crowd and unleashed two Soul Skill in succession, attempting to use Phoenix Flame to counter the sky full of ice blades.

However, Shui Bing'er's Martial Soul is also a phoenix, and in terms of quality, it is even slightly higher than his before he took the immortal Immortal Herb, and she also has Xue Wu's full support.

Ma Hongjun's actions were courageous, but they involved using weak fire to fight strong ice, using Soul Elder to resist Soul Ancestor, and using energy form to confront a physical ice blade...

That's really wishful thinking!

As expected, the ice blade easily pierced through the Phoenix Flame and went straight for Ma Hongjun!

Tang San reacted swiftly, suddenly lashing out with his Blue Silver Grass, knocking Ma Hongjun to the ground and allowing him to narrowly dodge the first wave of ice blades.

Immediately, Tang San's Soul Power surged, and three seemingly solid Blue Silver Grass barriers rose from the ground, blocking everyone's way.

At the same time, he shouted loudly, "Healing Soul Skill, Mushroom Sausage, quick!"

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The three Blue Silver barriers were like paper before "Ice Snow Falling," instantly torn apart, and the trajectory of the ice blades was not even altered in the slightest.

Dai Mubai and the others' pupils suddenly dilated, filled with despair.

At this critical moment, a clear, heavenly voice rang out—

Fifth Soul Skill: Thousand Shadow Moon Kill!

At the crucial moment, Zhu Zhuqing finally made her move.

She wasn't sure if she had fulfilled Lin Hai's request and given her teammates a chance to perform.

All he knew was that if he didn't intervene soon, Shrek except himself would probably be carried off the stage!

Countless crescent-shaped phantoms appeared around her, spinning rapidly to meet the ice blades, constantly shattering and annihilating them.

The shattered ice landed on the arena and instantly turned into specks of Soul Power and dissipated.

However, unlike the previous swift defeat of Huo Wu, this duel between the Ice Blade and the Moon Blade has turned into a fierce tug-of-war.

Gradually, the temperature on the arena dropped, and the other Shrek members began to shiver, their lips turning purple from the cold.

Although the students from the Skywater Academy were a bit far away, they were still having a hard time.

Feeling the chill around her, Yu Hairou frowned and sighed, "You guys go off first, I'll hold on a little longer."

The girls nodded, but shook their heads from the cold. They didn't say anything more and jumped off the stage.

Before stepping off the stage, Shui Yue'er glanced worriedly at the churning dark clouds above the arena and gave her some instructions:

"Sister Hai Rou, don't push yourself. If you can't hold on, come down right away!"

Yu Hairou smiled slightly at Shui Yue'er and nodded.

As a top-tier ice-attribute Martial Soul, the Ice Phoenix, after receiving the full support of Xue Wu, emits a chilling aura that is very close to the Extreme Ice.

Even if they weren't directly hit by the ice blades, the extreme chill that spread throughout the arena had already severely affected the physical functions of most of the people present.

The Shrek members felt their thinking become sluggish, and even Zhu Zhuqing felt her body stiffen.

She turned around and decisively said, "All of you, get off the field!"

The group felt as if they had been granted a pardon, not even wanting to waste the energy to nod or say a few polite words. They helped each other off the stage, their eyes filled with relief.

Seeing this, Yu Hairou was on the opposite side, knew that there was no point in staying, so she also left the field.

Tang San hesitated for a moment, a hint of unwillingness flashing in his eyes, before leaving with a gloomy expression.

After they all stepped down, Zhu Zhuqing immediately felt a relief from the pressure.

After all, the previous strategy of offense as defense, while also taking care of the other six people, was vastly different in difficulty compared to using the Blue Silver Prison for defense.

With all her Moon Blade drawn to her front, Zhu Zhuqing quickly gained the upper hand, and the ice blades began to shatter layer by layer.

From within the dark clouds, Shui Bing'er sensed the changes below and sighed softly:

"The Dark Goddess... truly lives up to her name!"

Xue Wu frowned and said weakly, "My Soul Power is almost exhausted. I'm afraid it won't be enough to empower your Martial Soul and launch the final attack!"

Shui Bing'er shook her head, her tone calm. "No need, we lost."

She gathered the last bit of Soul Power in one hand and gently pushed it forward. The two of them used the force of the recoil to float backward several meters and fall onto the arena.

Zhu Zhuqing also stopped and nodded slightly to the two of them.

"You won!" Shui Bing'er's face was pale, her voice weak but clear.

"Could you come to the Heaven Dou Grand Hotel later? I have some questions I'd like to ask you. Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time!"

Zhu Zhuqing was puzzled and sought her advice.

Is it about increasing strength, or the secret of a super-limited Soul Ring? Shui Bing'er doesn't seem like such a reckless person!

She wanted to refuse, but seeing Shui Bing'er's sincere eyes and pale face, she couldn't bear it and finally nodded.

Whatever it is, we'll find out later by asking.

The host, Doudou, landed at the opportune moment and asked cautiously:

"Have you two finished talking?"

She was somewhat hesitant to get too close to these two exceptionally beautiful and formidable female contestants.

Shui Bing'er nodded. "We admit defeat."

Doudou breathed a sigh of relief, quickly flew back into the air, and shouted in a clear voice:

"I hereby declare that Shrek Academy has won this match!"

On the Shrek Academy's side, most people were not seriously injured, and Ma Hongjun only had some superficial wounds.

Ning Rongrong unleashed a "Soul Power Amplification," Jiang Zhu's Healing Light gently swept over them, quickly restoring them to near recovery.

After leaving the Great Soul Arena, Zhu Zhuqing came to Lin Hai's side and whispered:

"Lin Hai, I'm going to the Heaven Dou Grand Hotel."

Lin Hai hadn't paid any attention to the conversation on the stage and was unaware that the two women had made an appointment. He asked in confusion, "What are you going to the hotel for?"

"Shui Bing'er said she had something to ask me, but she didn't say what it was."

"Shui Bing'er?" Lin Hai asked in surprise. "Excuse me... did she say you could go alone?"

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. "No."

"Let's go back to the academy first," Lin Hai said after a moment's thought. "I'll go with you later!"
