Li Jiuxuan tapped his toes against the ground, and ice-white soul power quietly permeated from beneath his feet. Having just absorbed the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone of the Wind-Snow Tyrant Dragon, the aura surrounding him was now entirely different.

Though the soul power of a level 20 Soul Grand Master was not considered top-tier, the pressure of the Holy King originating from his Ice Dragon King Martial Soul caused the moisture in the surrounding air to instantly freeze into ice.

"Instructor Xue, watch closely..."

Li Jiuxuan said in a deep voice, and the next second, the passive skill Tyrant Dragon Extreme Speed was instantly triggered!

He first demonstrated the passive skill of the Wind-Snow Tyrant Dragon left leg bone; his speed was astonishing, and he vanished in an instant, leaving behind only a phantom image where he had stood.

Xue Furong had initially thought he moved to the left, only to realize after looking that he had appeared on the right.

The young man was there, smiling triumphantly at her.

"The speed is fast, far exceeding that of a Soul Grand Master of the same level. This speed is stronger, not weaker, than that of an agility-attack type!"

Xue Furong nodded in approval; it was worthy of the ability amplification of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, truly formidable!

Whoosh!

Just as she was praising him, Li Jiuxuan suddenly condensed three Ice Blades, shooting them toward her neck, heart, and knees respectively.

Xue Furong's expression shifted slightly, but her reaction was no slower than Li Jiuxuan's. With a wave of her hand, she froze them, causing them to shatter into pieces.

Li Jiuxuan chuckled, and the next moment, his figure vanished again, leaving only an afterimage in his place.

Xue Furong remained standing with her hands behind her back, while Li Jiuxuan utilized his extreme speed to move within a thirty-meter radius.

Afterimages constantly manifested in the void, and from time to time, three Ice Flying Blades would strike out.

Xue Furong's gaze sharpened slightly. Her Soul Emperor-level soul power quietly spread out, forming a water soul power barrier to protect her body. No matter how many Ice Flying Blades Li Jiuxuan sent in succession, they were frozen layer by layer and shattered half a foot before reaching her.

"Instructor Furong is truly amazing; I can't hurt you at all!"

Even while moving at extreme speed, Li Jiuxuan couldn't help but exclaim.

The gap between him and a Soul Emperor was simply too vast; when she stood there without moving, he couldn't break her defense no matter how hard he tried.

Xue Furong's expression remained indifferent. She was testing Li Jiuxuan's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone skill and would not let him continue to perform without pressure. She said, "Next, I will also attack you. Use your extreme speed to dodge; do not get hit!"

Soon, she flicked her jade fingers, and several beams of soul power, condensed like water, shot out. They precisely targeted the afterimages Li Jiuxuan left in mid-air, attempting to force out his true position.

The soul power beams were as fast as meteors, carrying an unstoppable aura. Li Jiuxuan's nerves tightened, and he pushed Tyrant Dragon Extreme Speed to its limit.

The ultimate speed relied on mental power; the stronger the mental power, the swifter the reaction, and the shorter the gap between thought and action, the more the speed could be pushed to its peak.

After several rounds, Li Jiuxuan relied on his anticipation and extreme speed to make all of Xue Furong's attacks miss.

After attacking more than ten times in succession without touching Li Jiuxuan, Xue Furong was secretly startled. Even the veteran agility-attack type Soul Masters in the academy might not be able to match the speed of the youth before her.

"Be careful!"

Xue Furong's eyes narrowed, a stream of light flashing through them. Precisely predicting Li Jiuxuan's landing point, her figure suddenly lunged forward, her slender jade hands transforming into sharp eagle claws as she struck directly!

Once a Soul Emperor expert became serious, the speed was so great that Li Jiuxuan was caught off guard. Previously, she had been deliberately holding back, but now that she exerted a little effort, his pressure increased sharply.

Xue Furong's prediction was flawless; her eagle claws were aimed directly at the spot where Li Jiuxuan was about to land!

But just as her sharp claws were about to touch him, Xue Furong grabbed at the void and actually grasped nothing!

"Gone?"

Xue Furong's expression was slightly stunned as she looked around; there was no trace of Li Jiuxuan on the ground.

"Hi, Instructor Furong!"

A familiar voice rang out suddenly, causing Xue Furong to tense up and retreat several steps in a flash.

Boom!

Three Ice Flying Blades slammed heavily into the spot where she had just been standing, sending gravel flying.

Xue Furong looked up and saw that Li Jiuxuan was actually treading on air, suspended in mid-air thanks to Tyrant Dragon Extreme Speed.

"Good. For such a young age, your combat awareness is quite strong." Xue Furong composed herself. "I wonder if you can dodge this strike!"

Hearing this, Li Jiuxuan's expression turned solemn. He knew that this time, Xue Furong was truly getting serious.

"Dance of the Water Snake!"

As the incantation fell, Xue Furong mobilized twenty percent of the soul power in her body to activate her first soul skill.

Her pale blue first soul ring lit up, and soft water-attribute energy surged before her, instantly condensing into two thick water pythons. Carrying a whistling gale, they lunged toward Li Jiuxuan in mid-air!

This strike had a wide range and high speed. Even with only twenty percent of her soul power, an ordinary Soul Elder would have their expression change drastically and would not dare to receive it easily!

Xue Furong wanted to see if Li Jiuxuan's passive soul bone skill, which rivaled that of an agility-attack type, could dodge it without a scratch.

"Well come, Instructor Furong!"

Li Jiuxuan was not alarmed but delighted. The power of the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul within him surged with full force, creating a strong resonance with the Wind-Snow Tyrant Dragon left leg bone, and a brilliant ice-blue light erupted!

"Wind-Snow Tyrant Dragon left leg soul bone skill, Tyrant Dragon Destruction Kill!"

A strong ice-blue light exploded from his left leg. The fierce pressure unique to a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone swept in all directions, and a massive phantom of a Wind-Snow Tyrant Dragon took shape, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it charged head-on to tear into the two water pythons!

Once the Wind-Snow Tyrant Dragon emerged, carrying the power of ice, even the void seemed ready to shatter!

Li Jiuxuan did not choose to dodge; instead, he met attack with attack, shaking Xue Furong's strike head-on! He would use this opportunity to test his soul bone skill!

But in the eyes of Xue Furong, this action was by no means brave; it was reckless to the extreme!

"Li Jiuxuan, what are you doing? Get out of the way!"

Her indifferent face suddenly filled with terror. She had unleashed her soul skill to restrict Li Jiuxuan's movement and test his speed, never intending for him to meet it head-on.

Even at only twenty percent of her soul power, the cultivation of a Soul Emperor was something a mere Soul Grand Master like Li Jiuxuan could never withstand!

Taking such a hit directly would result in him being shredded by the violent soul power!

"BOOM!"

Dragon and snake collided!

A blinding light erupted in mid-air, and a violent shockwave of energy swept wildly from the center.

The bluestone tiles on the ground shattered, gravel and ice mist flew into the sky, and the entire plaza trembled violently!

The two forces clashed frantically, canceling each other out. Instead of a one-sided crushing defeat, they remained deadlocked in mid-air!

Xue Furong's expression froze, her heart churning with turbulent waves. She had assumed twenty percent of her soul power would be enough to easily suppress him, yet she never expected Li Jiuxuan to be evenly matched with her first soul skill despite his Soul Grand Master cultivation!

The next instant, the two energies detonated completely, sending boundless ripples spreading in all directions.

"Pfft!"

Li Jiuxuan spat out a mouthful of blood. He had managed to barely block Xue Furong's first soul skill, but the residual shockwave of a Soul Emperor's power still slammed into his internal organs, leaving him severely wounded on the spot!

The gap between a Soul Grand Master and a Soul Emperor was, after all, an insurmountable chasm.

"Jiuxuan!"

Xue Furong's face paled with panic. Seeing Li Jiuxuan's soul power exhausted as his body flew backward, she immediately leaped into the air, darting forward to catch him steadily in her arms.
