Fusion Technique Clashes Head-On with a Soul Sage!

Dai Huabin took the initiative to charge forward, which visibly surprised Wu Ming in the field.

Is this kid crazy?

Four-Ring Soul Ancestor fighting Seven-Ring Soul Sage —instead of maintaining distance and maneuvering, he chose to engage in a head-on confrontation?

Wu Ming's mind raced, and he instantly saw through Dai Huabin's plan. This junior wanted to use the attribute suppression of Ultimate Ice to drag the battle into the close-quarters combat rhythm that he was most proficient in.

With the Golden Crow Fire Wings, Wu Ming could easily take to the air and use a kite-flying tactic to wear down Dai Huabin.

But she is the dignified "Golden Crow Saintess" of the Inner Academy Court, Soul Sage of level seventy-two! If she has to resort to guerrilla tactics to fight a junior of level forty-eight, she can't afford to lose face like that.

"Want to fight in close combat? Fine!"

Wu Ming roared, and his second, third, and fifth Soul Ring erupted with dazzling light one after another.

"Second Soul Skill, Golden Crow True Fire Burn!"

"Third Soul Skill, Golden Crow Fire Wings!"

"Fifth Soul Skill, Golden Crow True Fire Bath!"

The crimson-gold flames roared up, and Wu Ming was enveloped in a thick layer of fiery robes, with a pair of wide Golden Crow Fire Wings unfurling behind him.

The terrifying heat forcefully created a crimson vacuum zone within Dai Huabin's Domain of Eternal Freeze.

With all three of his amplifying Soul Skill activated, Wu Ming's aura reached its peak, and he crashed head-on into the white lightning bolt that Dai Huabin had transformed into.

Bang!

Fists and claws clashed.

Dai Huabin's hands have completely transformed into diamond-textured Ice-Condensing Tiger Claws, a new form resulting from the fusion of the Ice Empress's Pincer and the White Tiger Sharp Claws.

Wu Ming's right hand was covered in Golden Crow True Fire, which condensed into a sharp fire claw.

The Ultimate Ice and the Golden Crow True Fire collided violently in mid-air, unleashing a piercing shriek. A large cloud of white steam instantly spread out.

Without any pause, the two engaged in a dazzling close-quarters battle within the white mist.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The dull thuds of flesh colliding rang out repeatedly. In just a few breaths, the two had already exchanged more than a dozen blows.

Ice shards and sparks flew everywhere.

Everyone watching from the sidelines held their breath.

Han Ruoruo watched the two figures fiercely clashing in the arena and couldn't help but gasp in amazement:

"Lexuan, Wu Ming is going all out! She's unleashing all three of her amplifying Soul Skill, she's really going all out for the Inner Academy assessment. Huabin is in a tough spot now."

Zhang Lexuan placed her hands clasped in front of her, her gaze fixed on Dai Huabin in the white mist, and softly commented:

"Wu Ming's Soul Power is a full twenty-four levels higher than Huabin's. Even with the Ultimate Attribute, Huabin can't last long in this pure clash of strength and Soul Power."

At this point, Zhang Lexuan changed the subject:

"However, I'd like to see the combat technique that Huabin created himself. Mu En praised it highly."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er, who was standing nearby, immediately perked up her ears.

"Grandmaster, what kind of self-created combat technique is that?"

Wang Dong'er couldn't help but ask, her pinkish-blue eyes filled with curiosity.

She had always regarded Dai Huabin as her goal, and now that she heard that Dai Huabin actually had a trump card that even she didn't know about, she felt an itch in her heart like a cat scratching.

Xiao Xiao and Cui Yajie also came over, their faces full of curiosity.

Zhang Lexuan glanced at Wang Dong'er and explained:

"A combat technique that completely integrates spiritual power, Soul Power, and personal beliefs. The principle is similar to Mu En's 'Reign Over the World,' but it follows a different path."

" To Reign Over the World?"

Wang Dong'er gasped.

Born into the Clear Sky Sect, she had naturally heard of the signature technique of that Limit Douluo from Shrek. It was a self-created combat technique that even Titled Douluo coveted!

Ma Xiaotao crossed her arms, raised her chin, and spoke with an undisguised air of boasting:

"That's right! You didn't see what happened at the Sea God Pavilion that day. What my teacher couldn't fully comprehend in most of his life, Huabin figured out in just one hour."

"An hour?" Cui Yajie exclaimed in surprise, covering her mouth.

"What's the name of this combat technique?" Xiao Xiao asked eagerly.

Ma Xiaotao grinned and uttered eight words: "Defy Heaven and Slay Gods, Only I Am Supreme."

Wang Dong'er stood there, repeatedly chewing on those eight words.

That's outrageous.

However, this perfectly matches Dai Huabin's always calm and unhurried demeanor, as if nothing could happen to him.

Zhu Lu stood quietly to the side, without saying a word.

Her cool eyes were fixed on the Soul Fighting Arena, her hands clenched into fists at her sides.

She didn't care about combat skills; she only cared whether Dai Huabin would get hurt.

Meanwhile, in the center of the Soul Fighting Arena.

Dai Huabin is under unprecedented pressure.

It was another straightforward, head-on collision. Dai Huabin used the momentum to slide backward seven or eight meters, his military boots carving two deep white tracks in the frozen ground.

His hands felt slightly numb, and his chest Blood One rushing to his head.

A difference of twenty-four levels in Soul Power is no joke.

If it weren't for the Domain of Eternal Freeze constantly suppressing Wu Ming's Golden Crow True Fire, and if it weren't for the Ice Empress's Pincer granting his arms an almost abnormal level of hardness, an ordinary Four-Ring Soul Ancestor would have been charred into a crisp by Wu Ming in the very first contact.

"Junior, you're quite strong!"

Wu Ming laughed loudly and shook her slightly sore right hand. After being repeatedly struck by the Ultimate Ice, her meridians had also been eroded by the cold energy to some extent.

But this only fueled her ferocity.

"Warm-up complete, get ready!"

Wu Ming's first Soul Ring suddenly lit up.

"First Soul Skill, Golden Crow Fire Claw!"

The flames on her right hand instantly surged, transforming into a meter-long crimson-gold giant claw that, with a piercing shriek tearing through the air, lunged straight for Dai Huabin's chest. Its speed was twice as fast as before!

Dai Huabin's pupils contracted slightly, and he instantly activated the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, leaving a trail of afterimages in his wake.

Sizzle!

The Golden Crow Fire Claw grazed his shoulder, the terrifying heat instantly burning the sleeves of his school uniform to ashes.

Dai Huabin immediately unleashed a White Tiger Intense Light Wave, a thick white beam of light slamming into Wu Ming's face.

Wu Ming didn't even try to dodge. Her Golden Crow Fire Wings suddenly closed, directly scattering the White Tiger Intense Light Wave. Immediately afterward, her fourth Soul Ring shone brightly.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Golden Crow True Fire Ring!"

With a flick of his fingertips, Wu Ming unleashed a dozen ruby-like orbs of light that swelled in the wind, transforming into fiery meteors with long trails of flame, hurtling towards Dai Huabin from all directions.

These fireballs are not only extremely fast, but they also have a locking effect.

There's no way to avoid it!

Dai Huabin immediately changed tactics.

"Ice Emperor Body Protection!"

A thick, clear, icy armor instantly covered his entire body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions resounded within the Soul Fighting Arena, and a sea of crimson-gold flames instantly engulfed Dai Huabin's figure. The powerful shockwave, mixed with intense heat, evaporated a large area of frost from the ground.

"Huabin!" Zhu Lu exclaimed in surprise, instinctively rushing forward.

Zhang Lexuan reacted quickly, pressing down on Zhu Lu's shoulder. "Don't worry, he's alright."

Amidst the sea of fire, a platinum-gold figure suddenly soared into the sky.

Dai Huabin's Ice Emperor Body Protection was covered in cracks, but it did not shatter. He was in mid-air, and his fourth Soul Ring shone brightly with dark light.

The Ice Soul White Tiger's fourth Soul Skill is superimposed on its right arm bone Soul Skill!

"Fusion Technique, Extreme Ice Sky-Dome Breaker!"

Dai Huabin's claws suddenly tore open in front of him, and a huge cross-shaped ice-blue slash cleaved through the sea of fire, carrying a terrifying chill that could freeze everything, and slashed down directly at Wu Ming below.

Wu Ming looked up at the icy blue slashing light that exuded an extremely dangerous aura, and raised an eyebrow. The intensity of this attack definitely reached the Soul Emperor level!

"Good timing!"

Wu Ming shouted, raising his hands to the sky, and the Golden Crow flames gathered wildly.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Golden Crow Blazing Sun Charge!"

The next moment, the frantically gathered Golden Crow True Fire converged into a single point, shooting out a thick golden pillar of fire with extremely strong penetrating power, colliding with the cross-shaped ice-blue slashing light that Extreme Ice Sky-Dome Breaker.

The ultimate collision of ice and fire caused the entire Soul Fighting Arena to tremble violently.

Click!

The cross-shaped slash shattered, and the pillar of Golden Crow True Fire exploded as well.

Dai Huabin landed lightly on the ground, slightly out of breath.

The Soul Power within his body was being consumed extremely quickly.

If this continues, he'll be completely drained in five minutes, let alone ten. Wu Ming's combat experience is too rich; he doesn't give him any chance to catch his breath.

We can't keep relying on Soul Power like this.
