Frost Dragon vs. Hell White Tiger (Part One)

"Old Yan, Dai Huabin's Soul Power has been greatly depleted, Zhu Lu is already showing signs of fatigue, Xie Huanyue has been eroded by the cold air, and Cui Yajie is even worse off."

"How about that? I told you my judgment was good!" Qian Duoduo laughed smugly.

Yan Shaozhe smiled faintly. "You're speaking too soon. Those four little fellows haven't won yet."

But Jiang Yuheng's performance had genuinely surprised him, and he was becoming increasingly curious about the Frost Dragon's true strength.

After all, he wasn't the only one who had been hiding his strength from beginning to end.

Qian Duoduo said, "You're still being stubborn. Their team has already completely suppressed Dai Huabin's team through their tacit coordination. As long as they continue wearing them down, victory will be within reach."

"Isn't that a little too soon to say, Old Qian? Have you forgotten the generations-old relationship between the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and the Zhu Clan of the Star Luo Empire?"

At those words, the smile on Qian Duoduo's face instantly stiffened. "The Zhu Clan and the Dai Clan have always had only one or two pairings in each generation. How old is this kid? Could it be that the White Tiger Duke intends to have him inherit the title?"

Yan Shaozhe smiled. "Nothing is impossible. A Three-Ring Spirit Elder who hasn't even turned twelve has already surpassed the achievements of the ancestor of the Dai Clan—the First Generation Shrek Leader."

"Besides, didn't the White Fox Duke send his son to Shrek Academy so he could further his studies here and see exactly how great his potential is?"

As the Dean of the Martial Soul Department at Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe was not only powerful in cultivation, but also controlled all the secrets and records accumulated by Shrek Academy over the past ten thousand years.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that when it came to Martial Souls on the Douluo Continent, there was nothing he didn't know.

After hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, the smile on Qian Duoduo's face vanished completely, and his hands unconsciously clenched slightly.

Kid, I've placed my bet on you. You can't disappoint me.

With the situation on the stage unfavorable, Dai Huabin had no choice but to begin changing his strategy, no matter how unwilling he was.

"Zhu Lu!" Dai Huabin shouted loudly as he sprinted toward Zhu Lu.

The two were not far apart. The instant they embraced, the auras of the Evil Eye White Tiger and the Hell Spirit Cat completely fused together. The feeling was indescribably wondrous. Vast Soul Power erupted from their fused bodies, completely merging into one within the black-and-white radiance.

It had to be known that a Martial Soul Fusion Skill was not as simple as one plus one equaling two. What they fused was not merely Soul Power, but also the perfect combination of their Martial Souls and individual attributes—a power that transcended the levels of the two Spirit Masters.

Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's figures disappeared. What remained in the Assessment Area was a completely transparent white tiger with white fur, black stripes, and purple eyes.

It raised its head arrogantly. Its disdainful gaze, as if looking down upon the whole world, fully displayed the kingly aura unique to the Hell White Tiger.

"So you didn't interrupt it after all. Fine. That saves me the trouble of explaining." Jiang Yuheng let out a cold snort.

Immediately afterward, his eyes, black as obsidian, were covered by a cold, deep blue radiance. The Cold Air released from both sides of his body caused the Competition Stage beneath his feet to instantly condense into unbreakable Ice Silk.

At that very moment, the deep blue eyes Dai Huabin had been longing for entered his mind.

It was a massive figure whose presence could not be sensed. Its scales gleamed deep blue, its dragon claws were covered in dense scars, and there were gaps between its bones.

To the naked eye, it was entirely a dragon-shaped skeleton filled with the aura of ice.

"Wow, Brother Yuheng has finally decided to release his Martial Soul!" Seeing this, Huo Yuhao also stepped forward and shielded Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao behind him.

He also possessed an Ice Attribute Martial Soul, so his ability to resist and absorb it was naturally far greater than theirs.

Moreover, watching a battle involving Extreme Ice from such close range would be an enormous gain for him.

Dai Huabin also noticed this, because in front of this deep blue skeleton, the Hell White Tiger had completely lost the imposing aura befitting the king of beasts.

Even its movements were restricted at every turn by the Frost Dragon's powerful Cold Air, leaving it unable to move.

Little fellow, is this the Frost Dragon?

Outside the New Student Dormitory, Mu En slowly opened his eyes and gazed deeply toward the Assessment Area.

From the first day of Jiang Yuheng's entrance examination, he had sensed that this little fellow was extraordinary.

It was not only his Soul Power. The unique icy aura and Bloodline Power emanating from his body had actually made even Mu En's Light Holy Dragon feel fear and submission.

Now, combined with Extreme Ice, the Hell White Tiger had no chance of winning.

It was clearly such an easy-to-understand matter, yet someone stubbornly refused to believe it and insisted on using his own head to ram into a rock.

The answer was obvious: he would definitely end up with a headache, since the rock had no sense of pain.

But Dai Huabin was simply stubborn and unwilling to accept the reality before his eyes.

Facing the bone-chilling Extreme Cold Storm, the Hell White Tiger's domineering aura was instantly reduced by more than half.

Thin Ice Silk had already condensed over its incomparably sharp tiger claws, continuously spreading upward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even so, the Hell White Tiger continued to expend the vast Soul Power within its body, resisting the erosion of the cold wind step by step.

Just then, a black-and-white energy sphere suddenly appeared at the tiger's mouth, which had been lowered all this time. With lightning speed, it shot toward Wang Dong in the distance.

He knew that it was impossible for him to seize the championship. But at the very least, he had to let Jiang Yuheng experience the feeling of total defeat.

At that moment, even the highly experienced referee teacher was dumbfounded, because he did not know whether he should stop such a collision.

As a teacher, his first priority should be ensuring the students' lives, so officially, he certainly had to stop it.

Personally, however, he favored Dai Huabin more. Whether in terms of talent or individual ability, Dai Huabin becoming the champion would be completely convincing.

But just because he did not act did not mean that no one else understood the consequences.

At the same time, a white figure finally rushed into the Assessment Area at the critical moment, like a streak of light flashing past in the blink of an eye. Eight Spirit Rings also lit up behind him.

At the same time, something even faster than that white figure was an even more enormous figure.

The Frost Dragon used its own Extreme Cold Aura to instantly condense the wave of light fired by the Hell White Tiger into a frozen straight line.

"If you can't win fairly, you resort to a sneak attack? Dai Huabin, you're something else!"

A smile curved Jiang Yuheng's lips, but anyone could see that his deep blue eyes were filled with irrepressible fury.

The next instant, Jiang Yuheng had already flashed to the Hell White Tiger's right side. The extremely frigid Extreme Cold Storm instantly gathered around him, and the freezing spread across the Hell White Tiger's entire body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just as Dai Huabin, controlling the main body, was about to fight with all his strength for one final attempt, a faint, ghostly light suddenly radiated from Jiang Yuheng's left arm. Tick, tick—the indicator's ticking stopped.

In an instant, the world around them fell into deathly silence. Dai Huabin felt as though his body had been seized by an invisible power, leaving him unable to move.
