Yin Yang Reversal VS Extreme Ice Fury, The Future Is Mine, Now

# Chapter 49: Yin Yang Reversal vs Extreme Ice Fury, The Future Is Mine, And So Is The Present (4K)

The Ice Jade Scorpion, one of the polar overlords, a race ruled by the ten great ferocious beast Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion—every member of this clan is born with Extreme Ice!

Compared to Bu Po Li Qiankun and Meihu Nangong Yao, the pressure Tang Dong brought was as astonishing as a mountain collapsing or a sea devouring everything. With just a simple Martial Soul Possession, a layer of chill spread unceasingly in all directions, and the Ice Arena instantly became as hard as iron!

Facing the Extreme Ice that had resounded across the Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago, Zhao Xuanzhen gave it the highest level of respect. His figure lowered slightly, and his skin took on a golden, metallic luster, converging into a dazzling suit of golden glazed armor. Under the blazing sun's radiance, he seemed like a deity reborn from flames.

True Self, Golden Awakening!

"Second Awakening of Original Martial Soul... you've finally decided to use it?"

Tang Dong restrained his playful expression and grew serious. Clearly, Zhao Xuanzhen had made him feel pressure. The second awakening was the foundation of an Original Martial Soul's strength—for a Ben Ti Soul Master, it was a complete, transformative evolution!

The thousand-year second soul ring lit up, and hexagonal diamond ice crystals grew on Tang Dong's hands. The Ice Jade Scorpion's second soul skill, Ice Jade Pincer. The diamond crystals possessed formidable defensive power, and his palms were as indestructible as ten thousand years of polar ice.

The two opposing figures moved their feet simultaneously. Beams of gold and emerald green shot straight toward each other. A storm swept across heaven and earth. The Shrek Academy students watching from nearby involuntarily raised their heads, their clothes rustling loudly, unable to stop themselves from retreating again and again!

"Boom—"

A straightforward, unadorned exchange of fists kicked off the battle between the new king and the old king. Their fists rose toward the sky, their bodies driven back by the intense shockwave. But half a second after separating, they crashed together again. The speed of their fist and palm strikes was so fast that no one could see clearly; onlookers only heard the deafening impacts that nearly tore their eardrums apart!

They closed in, separated, closed in again. Countless head-on collisions sent sparks flying and scattering through the air.

The color blooming in Zhao Xuanzhen's eyes was even more dazzling than the great sun. Darkgold light blades extended from the tips of his ten fingers. Where the blade edges passed, the air split into twisted, winding black scars!

Darkgold Fearclaw!

Both the Darkgold Fearclaw Bear and the Ice Jade Scorpion were races of the ten great ferocious beasts, standing at the peak of the soul beast pyramid. Tang Dong, feeling a competitive spirit, refused to retreat and instead advanced. The Ice Jade Pincer met the attack head-on. The signature soul skills of the two great races clashed heavily. The ice crystal pincers and the darkgold fearclaws collided, producing the clanging ring of metal striking metal!

"Chi—"

Ice mist exploded from the Ice Jade Scorpion's pincers. The Extreme Ice was shattered by the Darkgold Fearclaw, and the residual force forced Tang Dong back three steps, leaving deep ravines in the Ice Arena beneath his feet.

"In terms of strength... I actually lost!?"

Tang Dong's heart sank. The Ice Jade Scorpion was famous for its Extreme Ice, and monstrous strength was also a hallmark of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan. But today, the numbers monster had met an even more outrageous numbers monster.

Taiji Yang Hand, Golden Awakening, two top-grade External Soul Bones—the brute force unleashed by fusing all three together surpassed this number one on the Young Genius List!

"Junior Brother, you've angered me."

Shaking his numb arm, Tang Dong's eyes were filled with fierce, murderous intent. Endless cold energy spread, and his aura surged like a ferocious, savage evil dragon.

Seeing this, the Shrek students who had long been suppressed by the Ice Jade Scorpion's tyranny trembled in fear and said:

"Tang Dong is angry! That's an Ice Jade Scorpion! Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao's ancestor's second martial soul was the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion... Only Extreme Ice can truly display the Ice Jade Scorpion's power!"

"It's just an old-era martial soul from ten thousand years ago. What's there to fear? Zhao Xuanzhen, take him down!"

Hearing this, Na'er sneered dismissively. She didn't care how strong Extreme Ice was—she unconditionally supported her childhood sweetheart!

Tang Dong let out a low shout. A piercing, cold wind suddenly howled, and heavy goose-feather snow fell from the sky, covering such a wide range that it enveloped the entire Spirit Ice Plaza!

Ice Jade Scorpion third soul skill, Extreme Ice Blizzard!

In an instant, heaven and earth became an ocean of ice elements. The blizzard raged, sharp ice shards scattered wildly, and the low temperature of the Extreme Ice covered Zhao Xuanzhen's golden sculpture-like body with a layer of crystalline frost.

Within the low-temperature domain of the Extreme Ice Blizzard, golden eyes and emerald-green pupils stared at each other from afar. One held burning fighting spirit; the other held furious rage!

"Kan trigram, Mysterious Ice."

Zhao Xuanzhen's palms cupped the air as if holding something. A faint blue light flashed deep in his eyes. Nine ice-blue pillars of light shot straight upward, coalescing into wild dragon forms. The ice dragons devoured the extreme cold energy to build their scales, and their eyes flickered with chilling, icy flames!

For whom does the blizzard open!

A dragon roar shook heaven and earth. Under Tang Dong's stunned, disbelieving gaze, nine ice dragons coiled into formation, drawing upon the blizzard's snow blades descending from the sky, and all of them struck together at the Ice Jade Scorpion who was questioning his own existence!

The ten-thousand-year soul ring blazed with light. Hexagonal ice crystal armor appeared on Tang Dong's body surface, frost patterns flowing across it as he withstood the Nine Dragons Mysterious Ice head-on!

Ice Jade Scorpion fourth soul skill, Frost Bodyguard!

The ice armor creaked under the heavy pressure, cracks spreading everywhere but never shattering—a testament to the Ice Jade Scorpion's defense. Tang Dong used the momentum to break out. A blue, icy plant phantom appeared on his right shoulder. The first soul ring shone, and an ice-blue halo expanded outward. Ice elements gathered toward this spot at an astonishing speed!

"Mysterious Ice Grass..."

Zhao Xuanzhen called out the plant's true form at a glance. The soul spirit Mysterious Ice Grass—the budget version of the celestial-grade Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass!

Because of the existence of Sea God Lake and the Spirit Ice Fountain, Shrek Academy was naturally humid. The Mysterious Ice Grass greatly amplified Tang Dong's first soul skill, Ice Source Condensation. Within a hundred-meter radius, ice elements converged like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, forming an ice-blue vortex that poured into his body, his aura rising step by step!

The Legend of the Dragon King Era had one enormous advantage over the two previous eras: soul spirits assisting soul masters in battle. Tang Dong, at less than eighteen years old, had cultivated his Extreme martial soul to the fifth ring—Soul King level. His first soul spirit, Mysterious Ice Grass, was no small part of that achievement!

"Ice—I am the master!"

The faint blue light of Bagua Qimen grew denser. The Kan trigram position blazed. The ice-type energy summoned by Tang Dong and the Mysterious Ice Grass suddenly stalled in midair, then made an abrupt U-turn, rushing without hesitation toward Zhao Xuanzhen!

A scene unfolded on the battlefield that made jaws drop. The Ben Ti Soul Master and the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Master were contesting control over ice attributes, and the Extreme Ice—known as the Emperor of Ice—was actually at a disadvantage!

"My ice... why!?"

Tang Dong's words were practically squeezed through his teeth. The ice elements that had always obeyed him effortlessly now showed unprecedented resistance, as if a servant had encountered a more authoritative deity and no longer cared about the Ice Jade Scorpion, this impostor!

High above, Yun Ming and Ya Li looked at each other, seeing the shock and horror in each other's eyes. No matter how they tried to predict it, they never expected this familiar script to play out again.

After defeating the Holy Angel in aerial combat, clashing head-on with the Qiankun Ball in close quarters, and breaking through the Phantom Demon Fox with mental strength, Zhao Xuanzhen was now suppressing the Ice Jade Scorpion in ice attributes!

The vast ice elements gathered by Ice Source Condensation betrayed their former master, coalescing into a majestic, divine ice dragon. Accompanied by an impassioned dragon roar, the dragon dove down. The entire Ice Arena collapsed with a thunderous crash, exposing the bluestone-paved ground beneath!

Ice shards scattered everywhere. From within the cold, dusty mist, Tang Dong's figure emerged. He tore off his frozen, brittle sleeve, revealing the lifelike Ice Jade Scorpion patterns on his arm. Then, the Frost Bodyguard, unable to bear the strain any longer, shattered into tiny ice crystals, exposing the flesh bloodied by the frostbite.

"Frostbite... hahaha, frostbite!"

Tang Dong tilted his head to look at the chilling injury seeping into his bones, then threw his head back and laughed to the heavens. An ultimate ice soul master wounded by ice attribute damage—what an utter joke!

The next moment, the bluestone ground shattered, cracks erupting like a mountain collapse as the earth was crushed by an unimaginable force. Tang Dong shot forward like a blurring phantom, his jade-green pupils flooded with bloodlust!

Ever since awakening his Ice Jade Scorpion martial soul, he had grown up bathed in the praise of elders and the admiration of peers. With his ultimate ice attribute, fighting above his rank was routine. Tang Dong had carved his way through stronger opponents, climbing to the top of the Young Genius List—the undisputed number one young genius of the continent.

Tang Dong could not accept that, despite a two-rank soul power advantage, he had been defeated by a junior nearly eight years his junior. To him, this was a disgrace worse than death. He refused to become the stepping stone for that boy's ascent!

At the same time, it was as if a golden sun had enveloped him. Zhao Xuanzhen stood within a radiant solar disc like a vajra descended to the mortal world, his body translucent as crystal, bones clicking loudly as steam erupted from him with a whistle like a steam horn!

Third Soul Skill, The Way of Wuji!

Ben Ti Secret Technique, Battle Bone!

The New King sought to dethrone the Old King and claim the throne, but the Old King refused to yield his seat. This was a war between kings, a bloody battle between monsters, and neither side's will showed the slightest trace of cowardice or retreat!

A cascade of sparks exploded as the Darkgold Fearclaw clashed with the icy Scorpion Claw. Within the cracks they trampled, golden embers and jade-green ice essence silently fought on. Without a sound, a jade-green scorpion tail extended from Tang Dong's coccyx, its stinger gleaming like a meteor streaking through the void, stabbing viciously toward Zhao Xuanzhen's back!

Scorpions were one of the five poisons, but the Ice Jade Scorpion clan pursued the pinnacle of ice, abandoning the path of venom. Yet the tail still carried the bone-piercing chill of ultimate ice. Tang Dong believed that if it struck, the ultimate ice would invade Zhao Xuanzhen's body, and even a golden-grade Original Martial Soul physique would lose all combat ability in an instant!

"Clang—"

Black and White Wings burst from his back, their edges sharp as guillotine blades. The wings crossed, clamping down on the Ice Jade Scorpion's long tail. They flipped through the air, and with a flash of cold light, the stinger separated from the tail, thudding to the ground!

Tang Dong was gravely wounded, spitting a mouthful of crimson blood as his power plummeted. Zhao Xuanzhen would never miss such an opportunity. Qi Dong Shan He transformed into a Taiji Diagram, and the Yin and Yang Dual Qi blasted him away in one strike!

Nearly all the outer courtyard students had gathered at Spirit Ice Plaza. The square was packed tight, eyes fixed unblinkingly on the battlefield as they threw themselves into watching the fight.

At this moment, the entire venue fell silent. Most spectators stared blankly, cold sweat pouring down their spines. Was the number one on the Young Genius List truly about to change hands!?

Tang Dong, who would turn eighteen in just one month, was being dragged off the throne in the most humiliating posture at the final moment!

"I haven't lost yet!"

Spitting out a clump of bloody saliva, Tang Dong clutched his chest and stood up, gnashing his teeth and sucking blood like a cornered old lion fighting to the death!

His final ten-thousand-year Fifth Soul Ring flared. Tang Dong's eyes, dimmed by severe injury, reignited with fire. His blood boiled anew, his entire body dyed a dazzling jade-green, and a cold, emerald light condensed at his chest!

Ice Jade Scorpion Fifth Soul Skill, Extreme Ice Fury!

Extreme Ice Fury was the Ice Jade Scorpion's most powerful long-range soul skill. Ancient books recorded that the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's evolved Ice Emperor's Fury could freeze a thousand miles!

"Not enough—I need more power!"

Tang Dong let out a beastly roar. At the center of his chest, a gleaming jade-green armor piece took shape. A fierce howl echoed as a biting chill seemed to freeze heaven and earth!

One-Word Battle Armor, Chest Armor!

After breaking through to the Third Ring Soul Elder, the cultivation speed of an ultimate martial soul became excruciatingly slow. Even with the aid of Mysterious Ice Grass, Tang Dong could barely spare the energy to craft battle armor, so he only had this single piece.

This One-Word Battle Armor would accompany Tang Dong for a long time. Choosing the chest was meant to amplify the Ice Jade Scorpion's Fifth Soul Skill, as Extreme Ice Fury was the ultimate strike fired from the chest!

With the battle armor's enhancement, a jade-green light pillar erupted violently. The surrounding air instantly showed signs of freezing. As the green light flashed, white ice pillars materialized in the void under the extreme cold, forming a chilling path of ultimate ice!

Yin Yang Reversal enveloped Zhao Xuanzhen. The moment Extreme Ice Fury struck the Black and White Vortex, the light pillar spun along the currents. Tang Dong roared with a twisted expression, pouring all his soul power frantically into his chest. The jade-green pillar of Extreme Ice Fury swelled, and swelled again!

This strike was already nearing the limit of Yin Yang Reversal's capacity. The Black and White Vortex cracked with spiderweb-like fissures. But Zhao Xuanzhen's face remained expressionless. A chubby, endearing figure stepped forward—the Spirit Water Porpoise appeared, diving headfirst into the Black and White Vortex before countless eyes!

Soul Spirit Entry Skill—the absolute fusion of soul spirit and soul skill, granting the skill a soul!

The Spirit Water Porpoise's integration mended the cracks in Yin Yang Reversal. The jade-green light pillar met the vortex and vanished like a clay ox entering the sea. Then, Zhao Xuanzhen raised both hands to the sky, and Extreme Ice Fury reversed with a thunderous roar!

"Things Change, Stars Shift—Ten Thousand Rivers Return to One!"

His soul power exhausted, the light at Tang Dong's chest flickered out. He stared blankly at the masterpiece that surpassed his own limits hurtling toward him, powerless to resist.

A second before Extreme Ice Fury touched Tang Dong, Zhao Xuanzhen closed his five fingers. The jade-green light pillar veered toward the sky. The green light shot upward, freezing the heavens. The clouds turned into a curtain of ice, refracting a rainbow of polar lights as countless icicles hung down.

Tang Dong stood alone, lifting his head to gaze at the frozen sky. His eyes were a mix of defeat and self-mockery.

On this arena with no visible referee protection, if Yin Yang Reversal hadn't redirected the attack, the mighty Ice Jade Scorpion Soul King would have been devoured by the power of ultimate ice itself.

He was the one who had voluntarily discarded his battle armor before the fight. He was the one who had donned it when cornered. He was the one who had spoken arrogantly. And now, he was the one who had suffered a crushing defeat.

Tang Dong knew that he had lost more than just the top spot on the Young Genius List—he had shattered the arrogant heart that came with it.

The glow of the setting sun slowly faded. The great solar disc sank its final light, burning the ice clouds in the sky into the color of flames. From the crowd rose the Silver-Haired Girl's crisp cheers, along with the awed sighs and admiration of the Shrek students.

Beneath the orange-red sunset, the two brushed past each other. An extremely faint yet resolute voice drifted through the evening breeze.

"The future is mine, and so is the present."

Taiji Zhao Xuanzhen—crowned at the top of the Young Genius List!
