Ring Fusion Ultimate Technique

The moment the Fire Crane Soul Master was knocked flying, the teachers and students of Skywater Academy in the stands erupted in cheers.

"Senior Bing'er is amazing! She took out another one!"

"Beautiful! Now it's two against one! We have a chance!"

"Go, Senior Bing'er!"

"Skywater Academy will win!"

The stands completely erupted.

Many people excitedly rose to their feet, craning their necks as they stared intently at the arena, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

Blazing Fire Academy's team-leading teacher looked livid.

He had never expected Shui Bing'er to eliminate their crucial aerial support so quickly.

Shui Bing'er's abilities had surpassed his expectations.

The Godwind Academy team members were likewise dumbfounded.

"Boss, after two years apart, Shui Bing'er has gotten a lot stronger."

"Yeah. She's still the same as before—no matter what situation she faces, she's terrifyingly calm."

"Can Huo Wu and the Fire Leopard Soul Master win?"

"They probably... can."

Feng Xiaotian frowned.

He knew that by conventional means, Huo Wu and the Fire Leopard Soul Master would likely find it difficult to win this match.

Water and fire were incompatible, naturally restraining each other. Whoever was stronger held the advantage.

Shui Bing'er possessed the top-tier beast spirit, the Ice Phoenix. Fire Shadow and the Fire Leopard were still quite inferior compared to the Ice Phoenix.

However, Huo Wu possessed a powerful innate skill: Ring Fusion.

By fusing all her Soul Rings into one and stacking her Soul Power onto a single soul skill, she could maximize that skill's power.

This was Huo Wu's trump card, known to very few.

If she used that trump card, she might be able to defeat Shui Bing'er.

But if she did, Huo Wu's Soul Power would be completely exhausted, leaving her unable to participate in the upcoming match against Godwind Academy.

At the edge of the arena, Huo Yu helped Huo Yun to his feet.

Huo Yun lowered his head, his face full of dejection.

"Sorry, Boss. I was too impulsive..."

"It's fine. You already did your best. Shui Bing'er really is strong. Her grasp and control in mental combat far exceed our expectations."

Huo Wushuang patted Huo Yun's shoulder in consolation.

Like Huo Yun, he had been forcibly stunned by Shui Bing'er's mental power before being rammed out of the arena by the Ice Phoenix.

Watching Huo Wu on the arena, Huo Wushuang felt somewhat anxious.

He had already been eliminated and could no longer offer Huo Wu any help.

However, Huo Wu was also a control-type Soul Master. She should have already realized what was happening.

The girls from Skywater Academy burst into cheers.

"Big Sister is incredible!"

Shui Yue'er jumped up excitedly, tears glimmering in her eyes.

A relieved smile appeared on Xue Wu's pale face.

Yu Hairou and the others also clenched their fists and shouted in encouragement for their captain.

Earlier, when Shui Bing'er had faced three opponents alone, everyone had been worried.

But Shui Bing'er had shown everyone through her actions that she would not give up!

Everyone's gaze once again focused on the center of the arena.

Shui Bing'er gently landed on the arena floor, her breathing slightly hurried.

Her ice-blue eyes swept over Huo Wu and the Fire Leopard Soul Master opposite her as she suppressed the surging exhaustion within her.

The continuous high-intensity use of soul skills, especially using her third soul skill twice, had placed no small burden on both her Soul Power and mental strength.

Huo Wu stared intently at Shui Bing'er, her chest heaving violently.

She had not expected that despite having expended considerable Soul Power, Shui Bing'er could still so cleanly and decisively eliminate one of their members who possessed an aerial advantage.

The other side's combat techniques and use of soul skills were clearly even more refined than they had been two years ago.

"Huo Lie, her third soul skill has a stun effect. Be careful!"

"Understood!"

The Fire Leopard Soul Master at the side also tensed up, his eyes filled with wariness.

Shui Bing'er's strange mental attack just now had made him deeply wary.

Huo Wu glanced at her brother and teammates, who had already been eliminated in the distance, then looked at Shui Bing'er across from her, who had remained calm throughout. The fighting spirit in her eyes intensified.

"Shui Bing'er, I really underestimated you!"

"There are only two of you left."

Shui Bing'er's voice remained calm, as though she had become even more confident.

Huo Wu bit her lip.

Proud as she was, how could she accept such provocation from the other side when they held the numerical advantage?

What was more, Shui Bing'er was clearly no longer in peak condition.

"You think you can win like this? How much Soul Power do you have left? We of Blazing Fire Academy will not lose!"

The flames burning around Huo Wu grew even more violent and blazing with the fluctuation of her emotions.

"Huo Lie, final move!"

The two exchanged a glance.

No words were needed. Their long-standing coordination allowed them to instantly understand each other's intentions.

"Go!"

Huo Wu let out a sharp cry, launching herself almost simultaneously with Huo Lie as they closed in on Shui Bing'er from both sides!

The flames dragged scorching trails across the ground as they moved at incredible speed.

In the blink of an eye, two fiery-red figures had already closed in on Shui Bing'er.

The two figures suddenly converged.

Huo Wu kicked off hard, borrowing the momentum to shoot upward, then lightly and precisely landed on the back of the charging Fire Leopard.

The Fire Leopard let out a low growl, the powerful muscles in its limbs swelling in an instant like a fully drawn bow. Carrying Huo Wu on its back, it suddenly leaped diagonally upward!

At the same time, the Fire Leopard's second soul ring shone brilliantly!

Having learned from their earlier failure, they launched their attack in advance this time, attempting to seize the initiative.

Second Soul Skill, Seven Star Flowing Fire!

Seven blazing fireballs, trailing long tails of flame and accompanied by piercing howls, rained down from the sky in a sweeping bombardment toward Shui Bing'er on the ground!

Shui Bing'er's gaze sharpened.

Huo Wu and Huo Lie's coordination was seamless.

The fireballs in the air covered a wide area and moved quickly, making them impossible to evade completely.

Yet Shui Bing'er did not panic.

Her second soul ring lit up as she activated her defensive skill, Ice Ring Armor.

A layer of crystalline armor covered in icy patterns instantly enveloped her entire body, wrapping around her graceful figure.

The ice armor emitted a bitter chill, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet. Even the ground froze beneath a layer of frost.

The ice armor protected Shui Bing'er firmly as she prepared to withstand the barrage of fireballs head-on.

Boom boom boom boom—!

The seven fireballs struck the Ice Ring Armor in rapid succession, erupting with thunderous explosions and sending ice shards and sparks flying everywhere.

Shui Bing'er had blocked this fierce wave of attacks.

But the true final battle had only just begun.

At the instant Shui Bing'er was fending off the fireballs, her vision obscured by explosive firelight and icy mist, Huo Wu, who had risen to the highest point, flashed a resolute look in her eyes. Her delicate body suddenly trembled in midair!

A scene that stunned the entire arena appeared!

The two yellow and one purple soul rings that had originally surrounded Huo Wu were suddenly drawn inward by an invisible force, shrinking and merging together!

Yellow and purple intertwined, transforming into a deeper purple ring of light!

"What?!"

"Three soul rings... merged?!"

"How is that possible?!"

The teachers and students of Skywater Academy in the audience cried out in shock.

Fusing her three soul rings into one—what kind of extraordinary talent was this?!
