Titled Douluo Shui Yuerong

"Taking advantage of our crisis and plotting against Skywater Academy—you Elephant Armor Sect are shameless!"

Han Ningshuang glared at Huyan Zhen in fury, clutching her chest. She was clearly injured.

Before taking that blow from the level-eighty-nine peak Soul Douluo, she had already been suppressed by Yu Luomian's domain and had spent a great deal of Soul Power!

"Hahaha! So what if we're shameless? The strong prey on the weak. Your Skywater Academy is weak, so you're destined to submit to the Elephant Armor Sect!"

Huyan Zhen's greedy gaze swept over Han Ningshuang and Shui Bing'er beside her. "Come to think of it, your academy has plenty of beauties. After we bring you to heel, we'll have to send several batches of women to serve the direct descendants of our sect!"

"You!"

Han Ningshuang gritted her teeth, burning with humiliation!

But...

There was nothing she could do.

A profound sense of helplessness welled up inside her.

Two peak Soul Douluos were here. Who could stand against them?

Had it really come to this? Was the outcome already set in stone?

Li Jiuxuan would die.

And Skywater Academy would fall!

Crack!

High above, the thick layers of profound ice fractured piece by piece. Then the ice pillars exploded!

Deep-blue lightning erupted around Yu Luomian, and he broke through the icy power of the Ice Seal Array in an instant.

Even eight Soul Saints were nowhere near enough to truly restrain a half-step Titled Douluo!

"Sixth Soul Skill, Thunderous Might!"

Yu Luomian's eight Soul Rings pulsed wildly, unleashing torrents of lightning. Like a sun god, he struck straight at the seven female Soul Saints below!

"Ugh...!"

The seven beauties couldn't withstand it. Lightning blasted them into the air, gravely wounding them as blood sprayed everywhere!

With the array's eye gone and no blood essence to strengthen it, the Ice Seal Array was forcefully broken just like that!

"Boom!"

The next moment, he turned into a bolt of lightning and crashed violently to the ground, landing before Li Jiuxuan and the two girls. "Boy, no one can save you today!"

A half-step Titled Douluo at level eighty-nine wielded heaven-shaking powers. Thunderclouds shrouded all of Skywater Academy, and he had locked down the space itself. No one could escape.

Yu Luomian stood shoulder to shoulder with Huyan Zhen. The terrifying pressure of two peak Soul Douluos intertwined, and the air trembled with a mournful wail!

"Hmph!"

Though the two Soul Douluos unleashed their full power and targeted him, Li Jiuxuan remained expressionless, showing no fear.

He had been prepared to die from the start... His only regret was that he wouldn't be able to personally wipe out the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

It seemed Spirit Hall would have to do it...

Shui Bing'er clung tightly to Li Jiuxuan, comforting and shielding him at once. Her expression was icy as she glared at the two men, resentment in her eyes.

She wasn't afraid either!

Han Ningshuang struggled to her feet. Though gravely wounded, she still stood in front of the two children, her gaze stubborn as she shouted at Yu Luomian and Huyan Zhen, "If you want to kill someone, come for me! They're only children!"

"Come for you?"

Yu Luomian sneered, violent lightning leaping around him. "What makes you think you're worthy? The one I want dead today is that boy, and I want your Skywater Academy to bow its head and submit from now on!"

Huyan Zhen chimed in as well. "Han Ningshuang, stop struggling. Submit obediently, and perhaps the few of you will suffer less!"

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

Han Ningshuang wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and spread her arms, shielding them with her body.

She forcibly ignited the Soul Power remaining within her. Pale-blue flames of Soul Power burned around her as she exhausted her life force. Even if she survived, her cultivation would surely regress!

"Fine. Then you'll be the first!"

Lightning surged around Yu Luomian. No longer wasting time, he raised one hand and gathered his fourth Soul Skill, Explosive Dragon Claw.

Deep-blue lightning coiled around his Dragon-Transformed arm, forming a gigantic, frenzied claw.

He was now a peak Soul Douluo, and this Soul Skill had grown stronger, gaining the ability to ignore defenses!

In other words, even if Huyan Zhen used his Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul to defend himself, it would be useless. The attack would strike a Soul Master's body directly!

Utterly overbearing!

"Boom!"

Yu Luomian attacked, his power enough to kill any Soul Saint in a single blow!

He aimed straight for Han Ningshuang's heart!

"Die!"

Frenzied lightning exploded in an instant. Even the void couldn't withstand it and teetered on the brink of collapse!

There was no doubt about it. Once this blow landed, Han Ningshuang would die on the spot!

It was too fast for Shui Bing'er and Li Jiuxuan to react. All they could do was watch as Yu Luomian attacked Han Ningshuang!

"Hum!"

But...

Just as the frenzied dragon claw was about to pierce Han Ningshuang's chest,

a figure abruptly descended from the heavens!

The aura around her was far more vast and fierce than Yu Luomian's!

Like a river of ice crashing down from the ninth heaven!

The woman lightly flicked a jade finger, sending a blue ring of light sweeping across the scene!

In that instant, time stopped!

Time and space ceased to flow, and the world froze!

Yu Luomian and Huyan Zhen were both half-step Titled Douluos. Though all things had come to a standstill, their minds weren't completely imprisoned!

For the first time, terror showed on both their faces!

W-what was happening?!

Their bodies wouldn't move!

Their Soul Power, their Martial Souls—everything was suppressed!

"Whoosh!"

The woman pointed her fingertip.

Endless ripples spread through the void!

Time began to flow again!

In the next instant, freezing snow came crashing down, and an absolute cold current swept across the world, burying the entire Four Elements City beneath ice and snow!

The two peak Soul Douluos in Skywater Academy were abruptly driven back by a tremendous force of ice, sent flying!

"Who?!"

Yu Luomian and Huyan Zhen steadied themselves and narrowed their eyes as they looked up at the sky.

The woman slowly descended, her toes lightly touching the void. She stepped down one stair at a time, her Soul Power taking shape beneath her feet as she moved with effortless grace!

She wore a blue dress, and her long hair was as white as snow. Her eyes and brows were as cold as a ten-thousand-year-old ice peak.

Soul Rings slowly rose around her, each one shining with blinding light!

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

Nine Soul Rings!

A Titled Douluo!

Yu Luomian and Huyan Zhen's pupils contracted, and their breathing stopped for a moment!

"A h-hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring!"

That woman wasn't merely a Titled Douluo!

The age of her final Soul Ring was a hundred thousand years!

A hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring was the highest age of Soul Ring currently known on the Douluo Continent!

Titled Douluos were already few and far between!

A Titled Douluo with a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring was rarer still—one among a tiny handful!

There were absolutely no more than five!

"You... you're..."

Once they recognized her, Yu Luomian and Huyan Zhen nearly fainted from shock!

Everyone from Skywater Academy was just as stunned as the two men, staring in disbelief.

That's right. It was their very own academy's dean, Shui Yuerong!

She had changed into a different outfit. Her hair flowed loose, and her figure looked even taller and more voluptuous!

Even the disdainful look she always gave people had grown more pronounced!

But what was going on?

Hadn't the dean been at level eighty-six before?

How had she suddenly reached level ninety-two and become a Titled Douluo?

And gained a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring!

"Master..."

After a brief daze, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's eyes grew misty with emotion.

Their master had finally returned!

It looked like she had found Cold Spring!

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

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

Now she had clearly reached the realm of a Titled Douluo!

Shui Yuerong's gaze swept over the scene, but first it landed on Li Jiuxuan.

Neither of them showed any expression. They simply looked at each other in silence.

Then, in the next moment, they turned their eyes toward Yu Luomian and Huyan Zhen in perfect unison.

There was no anger in their gazes now. But that calm stare was colder than any killing intent!

"I was away for just one month, and you dared to go on a killing spree in my Skywater Academy..."
