Shui Yuerong, the Titled Douluo

"Taking advantage of a crisis to scheme against our Skywater Academy—your Elephant Armor Sect is truly shameless!"

Han Ningshuang glared at Huyan Zhen with hatred, clutching her chest; she was clearly injured.

Before taking that blow from an eighty-ninth-level peak Soul Douluo, she had already been suppressed by Yu Luomian's domain, exhausting a significant portion of her soul power!

"Hahaha, so what if we are shameless? In a world where the weak are prey to the strong, your Skywater is weak, and you are destined to submit to my Elephant Armor Sect!"

Huyan Zhen swept his gaze greedily over Han Ningshuang and Shui Bing'er beside her: "Come to think of it, your academy is full of beauties. Once we conquer you, I must arrange for several batches of women to serve the direct descendants of my Elephant Armor Sect!"

"You!"

Han Ningshuang gritted her teeth, feeling extreme shame and anger!

But...

There was no way out.

A sense of intense powerlessness rose in her heart.

With two peak Soul Douluos present, who could possibly resist?

Had things truly reached the point of no return?

Li Jiuxuan would die.

And her Skywater Academy would fall!

Crack!

In mid-air, the thick, mysterious ice shattered inch by inch, and then the ice pillars exploded!

Deep blue lightning erupted from Yu Luomian's entire body, instantly shattering the cold energy of the Ice Seal Array.

Even eight Soul Sages were far from enough to truly restrain a half-step Titled Douluo!

"Sixth Soul Skill, Thunderous Thousand Jun!"

Yu Luomian's eight soul rings pulsed wildly, driving the violent lightning. Like a god of the sun, he struck directly at the seven female Soul Sages below!

"Urgh...!"

The seven beauties could not withstand it; they were severely wounded by the lightning, blood splattering as they were sent flying!

With the array core gone and no essence blood to sustain it, the Ice Seal Array was forcefully broken just like that!

"Boom!"

The next moment, he transformed into lightning and landed viciously on the ground, appearing before Li Jiuxuan and the others: "Kid, today, no one can save you!"

As an eighty-ninth-level half-step Titled Douluo, his methods were heaven-defying. The entire Skywater Academy was shrouded in thunderclouds, and he had locked down the void so that no one could escape.

Yu Luomian stood shoulder to shoulder with Huyan Zhen, the terrifying pressure of the two peak Soul Douluos intertwining, causing the very air to groan in agony!

"Hmph!"

Seeing the two Soul Douluos unleash their full soul power directly at him, Li Jiuxuan remained expressionless, showing no fear.

Because he had held a death-defying attitude from the very beginning... it was just a pity that he hadn't been able to personally wipe out the entire Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Clan.

It seemed that Martial Soul Hall would have to do it after all...

Shui Bing'er hugged Li Jiuxuan tightly, both as a comfort and a shield. Her expression was cold and clear, filled with resentment as she looked at the two men.

She, too, did not show a shred of fear!

Han Ningshuang climbed to her feet. Despite her severe injuries, she still stood in front of the two children. With a stubborn gaze, she shouted at Yu Luomian and Huyan Zhen: "If you want to kill or torture someone, come at me! They are still children!"

"Come at you?"

Yu Luomian sneered, tyrannical lightning dancing around him: "What qualifications do you have? What I want today is that brat's life, and for your Skywater Academy to bow down and submit from this day forward!"

Huyan Zhen echoed: "Han Ningshuang, stop struggling. Obey obediently, and perhaps the lot of you will suffer a little less!"

"If you want to kill them, you'll have to step over my corpse first!"

Han Ningshuang wiped the corner of her mouth and spread her arms wide, using her body as a barrier.

The remaining soul power in her body was forcibly ignited, and pale blue flames of soul power burned around her. She was overdrawing her origin; even if she didn't die, her cultivation would certainly regress in the future!

"Fine, then we shall start with you!"

Lightning surged around Yu Luomian. No longer delaying, he raised one hand, and his fourth soul skill, Explosive Dragon Claw, coalesced.

Deep blue lightning coiled around his dragon-transformed arm, forming a violent, giant claw.

Now that he was a peak Soul Douluo, this soul skill had been enhanced, gaining the effect of ignoring defense!

In other words, even if Huyan Zhen activated his Diamond Mammoth martial soul to defend, it would be in vain; the attack would strike the soul master's physical body directly!

It was utterly overbearing!

"Boom!"

Carrying the terrifying momentum capable of instantly killing any Soul Sage, Yu Luomian struck!

He aimed straight for Han Ningshuang's heart!

"Die!"

Violent thunder exploded in an instant, the void itself unable to withstand the pressure, on the verge of collapse!

Undoubtedly, if this strike landed, Han Ningshuang would surely perish on the spot!

The speed was so great that neither Shui Bing'er nor Li Jiuxuan could react; they could only watch helplessly as Yu Luomian charged toward Han Ningshuang!

"Hum!"

However...

Just as those violent dragon claws were about to pierce through Han Ningshuang's chest!

A figure suddenly descended from the horizon!

The aura emanating from her was far more vast and biting than that of Yu Luomian!

It was as if a glacial river from the ninth heaven had come crashing down!

The woman flicked her jade finger lightly, and a blue ring of light swept across the entire field!

In that instant, time stood still!

Space-time ceased to flow, and the heavens and earth were frozen solid!

Although Yu Luomian and Huyan Zhen were both Half-Step Titled Douluo, and while all things were held in stasis, their consciousnesses were not entirely imprisoned!

For the first time, terror appeared on both of their faces!

W-what was happening!

Their bodies could not move!

Their soul power, their martial souls, everything was being suppressed to the point of suffocation!

"Swish!"

Following a point from the woman's fingertip.

The void rippled boundlessly!

Time resumed its flow!

In a split second, extreme ice and snow fell in a frenzy, an absolute cold current sweeping across the world, burying the entire Four Elements City in ice and snow!

The two peak Soul Douluo within Skywater Academy were suddenly forced back by a surge of immense icy power, sent flying through the air!

"Who goes there!"

Regaining their footing, Yu Luomian and Huyan Zhen narrowed their eyes simultaneously, looking toward the firmament.

The woman in the sky descended slowly, her toes tapping lightly on the void; with every step, a staircase formed, her soul power manifesting into shape, her movements following the laws of the world!

She wore a long blue dress, her hair like snow, her brows and eyes as cold and aloof as a ten-thousand-year-old ice peak.

One by one, soul rings gradually rose around her, radiating brilliant light!

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black... red!

Nine soul rings!

A Titled Douluo!

Yu Luomian and Huyan Zhen's pupils contracted, their breathing stalling for a heartbeat!

"T-ten thousand years!"

The woman was not only a Titled Douluo!

But the age of her final soul ring was actually one hundred thousand years!

A one-hundred-thousand-year soul ring was the highest-level soul ring currently known on the Douluo Continent!

Titled Douluo were already few and far between!

A Titled Douluo possessing a one-hundred-thousand-year soul ring was truly the rarest of the rare!

There were absolutely no more than five in existence!

"Y-you are..."

Upon seeing the newcomer clearly, Yu Luomian and his companion were so shocked their pupils nearly dilated into nothingness!

Even the members of Skywater Academy, just like Yu Luomian and Huyan Zhen, were stunned into a daze.

Indeed, that was none other than their Skywater Academy Dean, Shui Yuerong!

She had changed her attire, her long hair was let down, and her figure appeared even taller and more voluptuous!

Even that gaze of hers, which naturally carried a sense of disdain for others, had become even more intense!

However, what was going on!

Wasn't the Dean at level eighty-six before?

How had she suddenly stepped into the realm of a level ninety-two Titled Douluo!

And she had even obtained a one-hundred-thousand-year soul ring!

"Master..."

After a moment of stunned silence, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er felt their eyes well up with tears of excitement.

Master had finally returned!

Judging by her appearance, she had found the Cold Spring!

She had found the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Pillar!

And she had successfully absorbed the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow!

Now, she had impressively stepped into the realm of a Titled Douluo!

Shui Yuerong swept her gaze lightly, but it landed first upon Li Jiuxuan.

Neither of them wore any expression on their faces, simply staring at each other in calm silence.

Then, in the next moment, they tacitly shifted their gazes toward Yu Luomian and Huyan Zhen.

There was no anger in their eyes at this moment, yet that calm, steady stare was colder than any killing intent!

"I was only away for a month, yet you dared to run amok and slaughter in my Tianshui..."
