Violent Explosion
Centered on Dai Huabin, the extreme cold ice spread wildly in all directions. This time, it was not a small-scale regional release, but a full-area suppression covering the entire arena.
The temperature dropped to an absurd level in an instant.
Xiao Hongchen was the first to sense that something was wrong.
The metal fragments he was controlling suddenly became sluggish.
It wasn't because the metal was brittle, but because the channels inside the metal used to conduct Soul Power were directly frozen by the extreme low temperature. Those Soul Cannon, metal wires, alloy shields—all metal products that relied on Soul Power to operate—all malfunctioned in that instant.
"That's impossible!" Xiao Hongchen, stunned.
Meng Hongchen's Ice Toad Poison Domain also suffered the same fate.
Her poisonous domain is essentially composed of Soul Power, and when faced with higher levels of extreme cold, it's no different from being made of paper.
The meth mist that filled the air was instantly frozen into ice shards, which then fell to the ground with a crash.
"My Poison Domain..." Meng Hongchen's expression changed drastically.
At that moment, the entire Sun Moon team collectively felt a sense of oppressive despair.
"Snow Dance Shining Sun!" Zhu Lu also made her move.
The chilling aura of the Mechanism of Ice instantly appeared, slowly merging with Dai Huabin's Domain of Eternal Freeze.
The next moment, Zhu Lu activated her Hell Ghost Shadow to its fullest extent. With all her attributes doubled and Gongyang Mo's fivefold amplification, her speed reached a level that was almost impossible for the naked eye to keep up with.
Fourth Soul Skill: Ice Shadow Instant Kill.
Several icy blue afterimages split off from her body, each carrying a chilling aura capable of freezing the flow of Soul Power. These afterimages weaved between the formations of the Sun Moon, slowing down the movements of whoever they touched.
Xiao Hongchen tried to control the metal to intercept, but his metal was no longer under his control. The Soul Power channel was frozen, which meant that he had lost half of his combat power.
"Brother! To the left!" Meng Hongchen called out.
Zhu Lu's main body had already cut to Xiao Hongchen's left side, and she unleashed a series of Hell Hundred Claws, the claw shadows carrying ice attributes striking Xiao Hongchen's temporarily conjured metal shield one after another.
The shield shattered with each hit.
Xiao Hongchen gritted his teeth and retreated, activating his Fifth Soul Skill, Golden Devotion, and his body began to liquefy. But halfway through the liquefaction, he discovered that the flow of his Soul Power was incredibly slow.
The Domain of Eternal Freeze's suppression of Soul Power circulation is comprehensive, even slowing down his liquefaction speed.
Damn it!
On the other side, Dai Yueheng had already rushed forward.
The White Tiger Vajra Transformation is activated at full power, and on this basis, the Sixth Soul Skill, White Tiger Demon God Transformation, is unleashed.
His size increased dramatically, and his entire body was covered in dark gold tiger-striped armor.
Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Destruction Kill.
A heavy punch landed on Mi Jia's chest.
Mi Jia tried to dodge, but his speed was halved due to the suppression of the Domain of Eternal Freeze.
The punch landed squarely on him, sending Mi Jia flying backward and rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop.
Li Yan attempted to retaliate with his Soul Cannon, but his level-five Soul Cannon was now practically useless. He couldn't inject Soul Power into it, and the firing port couldn't even produce a single point of light.
"The cannon is failing!" Li Yan shouted, his voice filled with panic.
Dai Yueheng didn't give him any extra time. The second punch followed immediately, Li Yan didn't even have a chance to block. He was sent flying to the edge of the ring.
west completely let loose on the other side.
Fifth Soul Skill: Lightning Storm.
Lightning poured out from his body, transforming into a vast electric grid that covered the right half of the Sun Moon formation. Xiao Xiafeng and Lin Xi were the first to be affected.
Xiao Xiafeng's Soul Power amplification was still barely maintained, but the paralyzing effect of the Lightning Storm caused his hands to tremble uncontrollably. The amplification efficiency was directly cut in half.
Lin Xi's Wall of Tenacity began to crack under the continuous bombardment of lightning.
Even a level six Soul Tool requires Soul Power to maintain, and his Soul Power circulation was suppressed by 30% by the Domain of Eternal Freeze. In addition, with the interference of lightning, this barrier wouldn't last much longer.
"Hold on!" Ma Rulong's voice came from behind.
But he himself was barely able to stand. The price of the Chapter of Sacrifice was backfiring; his legs were weakening, and the light on the Sword of Judgment was almost extinguished.
Ling Luochen made his move at that moment.
Third Soul Skill: Ice Prison.
An icy blue cage rose from the ground, enveloping Xiao Xiafeng entirely. Then came the second, third, and fourth—four more Ice Prison, locking Xiao Xiafeng, Lin Xi, Mi Jia, and Li Yan respectively.
Second Soul Skill: Ice Radiance Ring.
An icy blue halo spread out from beneath Ling Luochen's feet, causing the Soul Power circulation speed of everyone trapped in the Ice Prison to decrease by another 40%.
With the combined effects of the Domain of Eternal Freeze, these people's Soul Power is now almost stagnant.
"It's over." From the VIP seats, Xu Jiujiu uttered a few words softly.
She saw it clearly. The core of the Sun Moon Royal Academy's Soul Tool tactical system was Soul Power driving. Once the operation of Soul Power was locked, their exquisite Soul Tool were just a pile of scrap metal.
On the arena, Xiao Hongchen had nowhere left to retreat under Zhu Lu's continuous attacks.
The speed at which the Golden Devotion liquefied could not keep up with the frequency of Zhu Lu's attacks. His body kept switching between liquid and solid states, and each switch consumed a large amount of Soul Power.
Meng Hongchen rushed forward to help her brother, but Xi's Lightning Storm blocked her and Xiao Hongchen.
She circled around, and just as she found an opening to slip through, Ling Luochen's fifth Ice Prison locked her in.
Meng Hongchen dodged to the side, barely avoiding the prison. But her foot slipped. The arena floor was all ice, and her speed was greatly reduced in the Domain of Eternal Freeze.
Zhu Lu's icy afterimage swept past her position, and the icy slowing effect stacked on.
Meng Hongchen's movements slowed down by two fractions.
"Dream!" Xiao Hongchen wanted to turn back to help his sister, but Zhu Lu's next wave of Hell Hundred Claws had already struck.
This is crushing.
It wasn't a close, evenly matched contest, nor was it a thrilling back-and-forth exchange. It was pure, absolute domination.
Dai Huabin didn't move an inch from beginning to end.
He stood in the center of the arena, Ice Empress's Pincer fully extended, and the Domain of Eternal Freeze continuously unleashed its power.
He was like an iceberg; without making any unnecessary movements, simply standing there was enough to suppress the entire Sun Moon team's fighting strength to the lowest point.
But he wasn't going to delay any longer.
End this game, right now.
Dai Huabin raised his right arm, and the three ice blades of the Ice Empress's Pincer drew three white streaks in the air.
Fourth Soul Skill: Ice Soul Earth-Splitting Claw.
At the same time, the Right Arm Soul Bone technique, Ice Soul White Tiger Sky-Splitting Claw.
The two Soul Skill merged.
The Extreme Ice Sky-Dome Breaker.
A massive, icy blue claw-like shadow tore through Dai Huabin's hand and crashed down towards the center of the Sun Moon formation.
This attack was devoid of any fancy moves; it was pure, overwhelming power.
Lin Xi's Wall of Tenacity shattered the moment the claw shadow made contact.
The light barrier of the level-six Soul Tool was torn apart like a piece of paper, scattering fragments everywhere. Xiao Xiafeng instinctively lunged forward, trying to amplify the effect and stabilize the defense, but he was trapped in the Ice Prison and couldn't move at all.
Xiao Hongchen used his last bit of Soul Power to condense a metal shield in front of him.
The shield shattered.
Meng Hongchen's ice poison barrier was already incomplete, and it didn't even last a second against the Extreme Ice Sky-Dome Breaker.
Ma Rulong struggled to raise the Sword of Judgment, attempting to block with the blade.
But the magic array on the sword had all gone dark; without the Soul Power to drive it, the Sword of Judgment was just a piece of metal.
The claw-like shadows shattered all defenses, and the shockwave swept across the entire Sun Moon position.
Dai Huabin controlled it very precisely.
The power of the claw shadow contracted significantly the moment it touched the human body, only shattering the opponent's remaining Soul Power protection and disrupting their blood circulation, but without damaging their meridians or internal organs.
Xiao Hongchen was blasted three meters away and crashed heavily to the ground, his Metal Control completely gone.
Meng Hongchen was thrown over by the shockwave, rolled twice, and dropped his twin swords.
Lin Xi fainted immediately.
Xiao Xiafeng lost consciousness in the prison cell.
Mi Jia and Li Yan were already out of fighting ability; they were simply pushed back a bit by the shockwave.
Ma Rulong knelt on one knee, the Sword of Judgment planted in front of him to support his body and prevent him from collapsing completely. There was blood at the corner of his mouth, and his hands were trembling uncontrollably.
With his life essence depleted and the impact of the Extreme Ice Sky-Dome Breaker, his body was already on the verge of its limit.
"Ma Rulong," Dai Huabin's voice came through.
Ma Rulong looked up at the white-haired boy in front of him, whose body was covered in ice crystals.
"Give up."
Ma Rulong opened his mouth, as if to say something. But his body betrayed his will first; his fingers loosened, and the Sword of Judgment clattered to the ground.
He fell forward.
The referee's whistle blew at that moment.
"The entire Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy is incapacitated. Shrek Academy wins!"
The entire venue erupted in cheers.
The cheers from the audience nearly lifted the dome of Star Luo Plaza off the sky.
But Dai Huabin made no celebratory gestures.
He retrieved the Ice Empress's Pincer, lifted the Domain of Eternal Freeze, and simultaneously withdrew the triple amplification.
Then he turned and jumped off the ring, running towards the players' bench.
Zhu Lu followed behind him, and neither of them spoke.
On the contestant's bench, Xue Qingyao still kept her hands pressed against the ice cocoon.
Ma Xiaotao was completely encased in ice crystals, and through the translucent ice layer, her face could still be seen to be pale.
Dai Huabin rushed over in three strides. "How is she?"
