Wrath of the Ice Phoenix

"Next!"

Though Feng Xiaotian looked calm, he exuded such overwhelming pressure that the opposing academy's teacher broke out in a cold sweat.

After hesitating for only a second, the opposing academy's teacher immediately raised his hand. "We surrender!"

It couldn't be helped. Feng Xiaotian was simply too strong—so strong that they could not even muster the will to resist.

"Boring!"

At those words, a trace of disappointment flashed through Feng Xiaotian's eyes, and he quickly walked down from the Arena.

Being too invincible was a kind of loneliness after all!

After Feng Xiaotian's match, although the following matches occasionally had their highlights, they all seemed dull in comparison. Shui Wuchen did not watch any further.

The days of competition passed, and Skywater Academy continued winning smoothly until their battle against Shrek Academy.

Bang!

With a fierce collision, Xuewu and Dai Mubai were knocked off the Arena at the same time.

"Xuewu actually didn't win?"

Shui Yueruo frowned as she watched the scene on the Arena.

Although Skywater Academy had only lost three people while Shrek Academy had already lost four, making it seem as though Skywater Academy held the advantage, the fact that Shrek had managed to take out three of them was already absurd enough.

At that moment, Shui Bing'er suddenly spoke to Shui Yueruo. "Dean, let me take the next match!"

"Alright. Be careful. This Shrek is different from our previous opponents."

Shui Yueruo nodded slightly and gave her a reminder.

Judging by Shrek's performance just now, among her students, aside from Shui Bing'er, she really could not guarantee that anyone else would defeat them.

After receiving Shui Yueruo's approval, Shui Bing'er immediately rose to her feet and walked toward the Arena.

On the other side, Ma Hongjun also stood up at the same time, his heart turning cold. Why was he so unlucky to run into an opponent like this?

Though both of their Martial Souls were Phoenix Martial Souls and their quality was not far apart, Shui Bing'er was currently level forty-six, while Ma Hongjun was only level forty-one.

It might have been only a five-level gap, but those five levels were enough for Shui Bing'er to crush Ma Hongjun with ease.

To fight above one's level, one either needed a Martial Soul of higher quality than one's opponent, a better Soul Ring configuration, exceptional combat experience, or powerful Soul Bones.

But clearly, against Shui Bing'er, Ma Hongjun held no advantage in any of those areas. In fact, Shui Bing'er's Soul Rings and Soul Skills were even better than his.

"Third Soul Skill, Phoenix Wing Soar!"

The moment he stepped onto the Arena, Ma Hongjun activated his third Soul Skill without the slightest hesitation. In an instant, his hands transformed into fiery wings, and he flew into the sky.

After taking to the air, Ma Hongjun let out a breath of relief. He had truly feared that before he could even fly up, he would already have become an ice block.

The reason he had used his third Soul Skill the instant he entered the Arena was mainly to guard against Shui Bing'er's Ice Seal Soul Skill.

However, Shui Bing'er sneered as she watched Ma Hongjun fly into the sky. "Do you really think I can't do anything to you just because you're in the air?"

The next moment, countless rapidly spinning Ice Cones appeared before Shui Bing'er. With a flick of her finger, they shot outward.

"First Soul Skill, Phoenix Flame Line!"

Seeing this, Ma Hongjun's first Soul Ring blazed brightly, and purplish-red flames spewed from his mouth, engulfing the Ice Cones.

But in the next instant, Ma Hongjun's eyes widened, because he discovered that spinning Ice Cones were drilling out from within his scorching Phoenix flames and shooting straight toward him.

"Not good! Second Soul Skill, Phoenix Bathing in Flames!"

Ma Hongjun immediately sensed trouble. Purplish-red flames surged around his body, while the Phoenix Flame Line pouring from his mouth grew even larger.

Yet even that could not stop the spinning Ice Cones. The next instant, they pierced through Ma Hongjun's body, sending him plummeting from the sky.

Slap~

Ma Hongjun's body crashed to the ground, and he lost consciousness.

Seeing this, someone knowledgeable cried out in shock, "Could this be a Self-Created Soul Skill?"

Generally speaking, a Soul Master's Soul Skills were fixed, at most allowing for the development of different applications.

But for someone like Shui Bing'er to launch an attack without even lighting up a Soul Ring, there was only one possibility: a Self-Created Soul Skill!

"Hm? Isn't this Shui Wuchen's move? Shui Bing'er can use it too?"

In Godwind Academy's area, Feng Xiaotian watched the Spinning Ice Rain Shui Bing'er had unleashed, and a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.

At the same time, Feng Xiaotian was secretly alarmed. While Self-Created Soul Skills could be passed on to others, doing so required an extremely high degree of completion.

Since even Shui Bing'er had learned it, Shui Wuchen's Self-Created Soul Skill had evidently reached a highly refined level.

On the Arena, the staff carried away the unconscious Ma Hongjun, and Tang San then stepped onto the Arena.

"So it's you. You're quite strong, but you're still not my opponent."

When Shui Bing'er saw that Tang San was her next opponent, she spoke casually.

Tang San replied calmly, "Whether I'm your opponent isn't up to you."

Shui Bing'er had no interest in arguing with Tang San. She merely raised her hand and unleashed an Ice Seal!

In an instant, a chill spread from beneath Tang San's feet. Faced with the threat of Shui Bing'er's Ice Seal, Tang San immediately reacted.

Tang San's pitch-black fourth Soul Ring flared brilliantly, and sixteen black Blue Silver Grass vines burst forth in an instant, forming a cage that imprisoned him within it.

The next moment, icy energy spread, and Tang San's Blue Silver Prison immediately turned into a frozen prison.

However, Shui Bing'er merely snorted when she saw this. "This move again? But how many times can you keep it up?"

Although Tang San could indeed use Blue Silver Prison to draw in her ice-element energy, preventing her Ice Seal from freezing its target accurately and thereby indirectly breaking her first Soul Skill, Ice Seal—

Tang San's Blue Silver Prison was a fourth Soul Skill, and even a ten-thousand-year Soul Skill, while her Ice Seal was merely a first Soul Skill.

Using a costly fourth Soul Skill in exchange for one of her extremely low-consumption first Soul Skills was not a worthwhile trade no matter how one looked at it.

Even so, Shui Bing'er did not underestimate Tang San. A ring-shaped Ice Blue shockwave filled with repulsive force suddenly erupted around her.

This was Shui Bing'er's third Soul Skill, Resisting Ice Ring!

In the earlier battle against Shrek, this move had even withstood the Martial Soul fusion skill, Hell White Tiger, unleashed by Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing. Its power was evident.

The Ice Blue ice ring continued expanding and reached Tang San in an instant.

Almost immediately, Tang San was forced backward by the shockwave of the Resisting Ice Ring. However, the existence of the Blue Silver Prison kept him from being sent flying.

Seeing this, Shui Bing'er frowned slightly. This would not do.

The next moment, Shui Bing'er's fourth Soul Ring lit up, and the phantom of an Ice Phoenix appeared behind her.

Accompanied by a phoenix cry, Shui Bing'er's fourth Soul Skill, Wrath of the Ice Phoenix, began.
