One Move to Decide the Winner!
Wu Ming stood there, her originally fiery red short hair now slightly disheveled, her right hand hidden behind her wide sleeve, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Her mind was in turmoil, and she was completely unable to calm down.
Although she didn't use her Martial Soul Avatar in that move, her Sixth Soul Skill was a genuine Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill. Combined with the enhancement from the previous three amplifying Soul Skill, its power was enough to instantly kill an ordinary Soul Emperor.
But what was the result?
That junior student, who was only level 48, actually managed to fight her to a draw using a fusion technique of a Soul Skill and a Soul Bone?
"What kind of freak is this kid?"
Wu Ming gritted her teeth, her palms sweating. The chilling aura of Ultimate Ice seeped into her meridians, forcing her to mobilize her Soul Power to suppress the bone-chilling cold.
On the sidelines, Zhang Lexuan's gaze remained fixed on Dai Huabin, her originally calm silver eyes rippling with emotion.
"Is this his fusion Soul Skill?"
Zhang Lexuan turned to look at Han Ruoruo beside her, her voice somewhat low.
"I've heard the teacher mention that he can perfectly combine his Soul Bone Skill and Soul Skill. But seeing it with my own eyes still seems absurd. Ming'er's Sixth Soul Skill has a top-tier attack power in the Inner Academy, yet it couldn't suppress him."
Han Ruoruo shook her head with a wry smile:
"Yes, Ming'er didn't hold back at all just now. Huabin's icy blue slash not only had the weight of Ultimate Ice, but also a sharpness that could tear through space."
"If word got out that Soul Ancestor Master's Sixth Soul Skill could draw with a Soul Sage, most of those self-proclaimed geniuses in the Inner Academy would be mortified."
Zhu Lu stood at the front, her hands clasped together. Although she was extremely nervous, her eyes were filled with undisguised pride when she saw Dai Huabin block the attack.
This is her man, who can always create miracles.
Wang Dong'er watched from the side, grinding her teeth and muttering to herself:
"This guy has gotten so much stronger in just one month of seclusion. I originally thought I could close the gap once I reached level 36, but now it seems he's simply a monster."
Xiao Xiao and Cui Yajie were in a similar situation; they looked at each other, their prepared cheers stuck in their throats.
Ning Tian, meanwhile, was frantically calculating in his mind.
Looking at Dai Huabin, who stood like an iceberg in the arena, she became even more determined in the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's investment strategy. As long as this kind of person didn't die, he would inevitably stand at the pinnacle of the continent in the future.
Ma Xiaotao, on the other hand, seemed much calmer. She even took out a red fruit from her pocket, took a bite, and mumbled:
"What's all the fuss about? If Dai Huabin wasn't confident, would he dare ask Wu Ming for a prize?"
Just as everyone was having different thoughts, Dai Huabin, in the center of the Soul Fighting Arena, made a move.
He took a deep breath, and the phantom of the Ice Soul White Tiger let out a low roar behind him.
"Sister Wu Ming, we've warmed up enough."
Dai Huabin looked up at the opposite side.
"I have a move that I haven't officially used since I came out of seclusion. To be honest, I myself can't fully control its power. Be careful."
Upon hearing this, Wu Ming was first taken aback, then burst into laughter in anger:
"You little brat! So that was just a warm-up? Fine, if I mess this up today, I'll take your surname in the Inner Academy from now on!"
Despite saying that, Wu Ming's actions were extremely cautious. She could sense that Dai Huabin's aura had changed.
It was no longer just pure coldness, but an indescribable domineering power.
"Since you want to play big, then I'll play along to the end!"
Wu Ming roared, and the seventh black Soul Ring beneath his feet exploded instantly, the dense black light transforming into crimson-gold flames that shot into the sky.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Golden Crow True Body!"
A gigantic, crimson-gold phantom of Golden Crow materialized behind her and then merged with her body.
Wu Ming seemed to transform into a miniature sun, and the terrifying heat wave instantly evaporated the frozen ground around him into nothingness.
Zhang Lexuan's expression changed, and she slightly raised her right hand. "Ming'er has even activated her true form, this..."
In the arena, Dai Huabin closed his eyes.
His consciousness instantly sank into the Spiritual Sea. In that Spiritual Sea, Electrolux's divine sense was quietly watching him.
"Huabin, this move puts a lot of strain on your mental strength. Are you sure you want to try it now?" Electrolux's voice was calm.
"Elder Yi, I always have to test where my limits are," Dai Huabin responded in his heart.
The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.
A terrifying, suffocating pressure suddenly erupted from Dai Huabin's center.
That wasn't the oppression of Soul Power, but rather an absolute spiritual dominance.
Wang Dong'er and the others watching felt a tightness in their chests, as if the boy in front of them was no longer a human being, but a rebellious disciple who dared to raise his fist against the gods.
"Defy Heaven and Slay Gods, Only I Am Supreme!"
Dai Huabin's vital energy, Soul Power, and indomitable will were compressed wildly at this moment.
He slowly raised his right arm, which was once again covered with diamond-like ice crystals. But this time, a faint dark gold pattern was visible within the ice crystals.
He forcibly infused the concept of his self-created combat technique into "Extreme Ice Sky-Dome Breaker".
This fusion was extremely dangerous; the slightest mistake could result in his body exploding and dying. However, his level 48 Soul Power remained exceptionally stable at this moment.
This soul skill has no name, only a simple word "break".
Destroy everything!
"Break!"
Dai Huabin took a step forward, and a cross-shaped slash beam several times larger than before roared out.
This time, the slashing light was no longer a pure ice blue, but a dark gold with an aura of annihilation.
Wherever it passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a piercing explosion.
"Good timing!"
In her Golden Crow True Body state, Wu Ming's eyes were bloodshot, and she felt a pressure that went straight to her soul. She dared not hold back in the slightest, pouring all her Soul Power into her Sixth Soul Ring.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Golden Crow Blazing Sun Charge!"
A giant pillar of fire, over three meters in diameter, erupted forth, amplified by Soul Sage- level Martial Soul Avatar, and collided head-on with the dark golden cross slash.
Boom!
The dark golden cross-shaped slash exhibited an extremely strange penetrating power, actually cleaving a path through the pillar of fire.
Wu Ming felt a buzzing in her brain, as if she had been hit hard by a heavy hammer. It was the mental impact contained in the combat technique that directly shattered the foundation of her belief in her Soul Power defense.
Thump!
The flames died down, leaving behind a cloud of smoke and dust.
The crimson-gold light on Wu Ming's body receded like a tide, and her Martial Soul Avatar was forced to dissipate. Her face was deathly pale, and she collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
Her Soul Power wasn't completely exhausted, but her mental power was briefly depleted due to the impact of the "Only I Am Supreme" move.
On the other side, Dai Huabin's figure also came into view.
He was soaked to the bone, his legs were trembling violently, and his right hand hung limply at his side.
But he remained standing.
"Huabin!" Zhu Lu screamed, straining her legs to rush forward.
However, a fiery red figure was faster than her.
Ma Xiaotao appeared beside Dai Huabin like a red lightning bolt, grabbed his waist, and supported his swaying body.
Zhu Lu abruptly stopped in her tracks, stunned by Ma Xiaotao's practiced movements.
Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Cui Yajie, and the others were also dumbfounded.
Wang Dong'er, in particular, stared wide-eyed, a strange sour feeling rising in her heart. "How come Sister Xiaotao is faster than Lulu?"
Ling Luochen stood not far away, his usually aloof face filled with shock.
She could sense that the Ultimate Ice contained in Dai Huabin's move had reached a level that made even her tremble.
Dai Huabin leaned against Ma Xiaotao's warm shoulder, inhaling the faint fragrance, and gave a wry smile.
He turned his head and looked at Wu Ming sitting on the ground, his voice hoarse but clear:
"Sister Wu Ming... it seems I've won."
Wu Ming raised her head and looked at the boy who was standing even though he was exhausted, her eyes filled with extremely complicated emotions.
She opened her mouth, but could only exhale a sigh of dejection in the end.
"Damn it, this is unbelievable... I give up."
The entire hall fell silent, then erupted in a deafening roar of gasps.
Zhang Lexuan looked at Dai Huabin, who was being supported by Ma Xiaotao, and then at Zhu Lu and Wang Dong'er, whose expressions were constantly changing. She sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.
"The Inner Academy is about to get lively."
Dai Huabin felt Ma Xiaotao's hand tighten slightly as she held him, and he heard her hushed voice in his ear:
"You brat, you've had your fill of showing off, haven't you? We'll see how you explain this to your little fiancée later."
Before Dai Huabin could speak, he felt several murderous gazes locked onto him.
Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Cui Yajie need no further introduction.
Ning Tian was the same way.
Ling Luochen, however, took it all in stride, simply nodding slightly to Dai Huabin. She had been watching the entire battle intently; Dai Huabin's strength was simply too outrageous.
Such a person is truly...
Just then, Zhu Lu walked over with a smile on her face.
