Hum!
An aura, ancient, overbearing, and supreme, erupted with a boom!
A bone-chilling Dragon Might swept across the entire arena, causing the gale-force winds to instantly freeze under its pressure!
A colossal phantom of an ice dragon, forged entirely from crystalline ice and radiating infinite majesty, unfurled behind Li Jiuxuan. Its dragon eyes were cold, looking down upon every beast martial soul in the world.
Feng Xiaotian felt his entire body stiffen. He could clearly sense that his speed, strength, and soul power were all being suppressed by an invisible, frigid chill.
His own violent and peerless Twelve Consecutive Slashes seemed to dim significantly under the weight of that Dragon Might!
"D-Dragon King!"
As Feng Xiaotian dove downward, he saw Li Jiuxuan activate his martial soul and his pupils instantly dilated!
This kid's martial soul!
Could it actually be the Ice Dragon King, possessing such a powerful bloodline?
The entire plaza was instantly blanketed in swirling, falling snow!
Too formidable!
It came with a natural domain!
It firmly restricted every target other than himself!
"A martial soul... the Ice Dragon King?"
"Isn't he an agility-attack soul master?"
"Looking at this, he's clearly a control-type!"
The entire audience was stunned, truly unable to express the shock in their hearts with words.
Such a shocking martial soul, such a powerful bloodline!
It was something beyond the reach of most people.
Everyone had even assumed he was an agility-attack soul master at first!
But thinking about it now, it was even more terrifying.
He wasn't an agility-attack type, yet his speed was faster than the number one genius of the Wind Academy!
If he were to truly unleash the strength of his own attributes, how horrifying would that be?
In mid-air, Feng Xiaotian's face turned deathly pale, an unprecedented panic surging in his heart.
But there was no turning back now; he could only grit his teeth, force himself to stay calm, and roar as he unleashed his first slash!
"Twelve Consecutive Slashes of the Gale Demon Wolf, first slash!"
The soul blade transformed into a wolf claw, tearing through the air with a shrill whistle as it struck toward Li Jiuxuan. Yet, before it could even get close, it was restricted by the Ice Dragon King's chill, unable to reach his body!
"Boom!"
His strike landed in the empty space before Li Jiuxuan.
Immediately following, the second slash, the third slash...
Feng Xiaotian's eyes were bloodshot, pushing his soul power to the limit. The twelve consecutive strikes were relentless, each one carrying the ferocity of a desperate gamble. Green light filled the sky as he attempted to break through the Ice Dragon King's pressure and strike Li Jiuxuan.
But Li Jiuxuan merely stood in mid-air, the Ice Dragon King phantom moving at his will, the dense ice energy forming an indestructible barrier of frigid air around him.
Feng Xiaotian's strikes landed only with crisp clashing sounds, sending out endless ripples; he was instead repelled by the ice energy, his blood and qi churning.
What made Feng Xiaotian even more desperate was that his speed, which he took such pride in, appeared worthless before Li Jiuxuan, who was bolstered by the Ice Dragon King.
Li Jiuxuan shifted his feet lightly. Amidst the final, stacking strikes, his figure transformed into a stream of ice-blue light, easily evading every attack.
He moved as if taking a leisurely stroll, completely under no pressure!
"Impossible, my speed, my consecutive slashes..."
Feng Xiaotian's expression went completely blank. With his soul power fully unleashed, his stamina was nearing exhaustion. Even though the power of the Twelve Consecutive Slashes grew with each hit, the final few slashes had become nothing more than a formality.
Li Jiuxuan watched his disheveled state, his second soul ring suddenly lighting up, the brilliant yellow halo reflecting off the Ice Dragon King phantom.
"Alright, my turn!"
"Second Soul Skill, Ice-Crystal Instant Shadow Kill!"
Before Feng Xiaotian's final slash of the Twelve Consecutive Slashes could land, his body was instantly frozen!
It was an irresistible force of extreme cold. No matter how astonishing the power of his final strike or how deep his soul power, he could not withstand the forced restriction of Li Jiuxuan's soul skill.
Trapped within the ice crystal, Feng Xiaotian gritted his teeth, his face twisted in deep unwillingness.
Immediately after, Li Jiuxuan transformed into a streak of ultimate light, his afterimages flickering continuously across the arena.
Every flash carried a biting sharpness, striking the ice encasing Feng Xiaotian in rapid succession. The surface of the ice was covered in dense cracks, the cold energy clashing like intersecting blade qi.
"It's also a twelve-hit combo!"
The crowd below gasped, seeing such a powerful second soul skill for the first time.
It had forcibly interrupted Feng Xiaotian's self-created soul skill!
His entire body was encased in frigid ice crystals!
To be honest, the moment that Ice Dragon King Martial Soul emerged, every Beast Martial Soul Spirit Master present trembled.
Everyone had to mobilize their spirit power just to resist that tyrannical, biting cold!
The pressure of the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul was supreme!
It made one feel utterly powerless!
Twelve fierce slashes flashed by in an instant, and the final strike, carrying the force of a landslide, hacked viciously at the core of the ice crystal. With a deafening sound of shattering ice, the thick, solid ice instantly exploded into countless fragments, the terrifying impact pouring entirely onto Feng Xiaotian.
His cyan spirit power shattered instantly, his Gale Demon Wolf Martial Soul was forcibly driven back into his body, and his spirit rings dimmed until they were nearly transparent. Feng Xiaotian completely lost all power to resist, crashing heavily onto the arena like a kite with a broken string, kicking up a sky full of dust. He lay in the crater, unable to stand up again, lacking even the strength to lift a hand.
In truth, this was only because Li Jiuxuan had held back his strength; had it been anyone else, their body would have already been covered in twelve deep wounds.
Every time a slash was about to make contact with Feng Xiaotian's flesh, he had dissipated the force.
However, it still shredded the uniform of the Blazing Fire Academy, leaving the clothes on his upper body fluttering in the air like rags.
"Strong... Assault System..."
Feng Xiaotian was not severely injured, but he was utterly exhausted. Covered in dirt and grime, he lay in the crater of the arena, murmuring to himself.
Li Jiuxuan slowly descended onto the arena at this moment, the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul behind him having already merged back into his body.
Although he was only a six-year-old child, at this moment, that unfathomable sense of oppression was deeply imprinted in the eyes of every spectator watching the match.
Everyone was silent.
At first, people thought he crushed Feng Xiaotian in speed and assumed he was an Agility Attack System Spirit Master.
But the moment he revealed his Martial Soul, the entire venue was unrestrained, and as the winter snow descended, everyone thought he was a Control System Spirit Master.
Yet now, his second spirit skill had been revealed, and it was clearly that of an Assault System Spirit Master!
An Assault System Spirit Master who crushed an Agility Attack System in speed and possessed control capabilities that surpassed those of a Control System!
His assault power was such that a single strike had defeated Feng Xiaotian, who was hailed as the greatest genius in the history of the Blazing Fire Academy!
This youth who had suddenly appeared in the Skywater Sect was truly terrifying beyond measure!
"Xiao Jiuxuan, you're amazing!"
At this moment, Shui Yue'er appeared out of nowhere, her bright, moving voice ringing out as she began to clap: "Looking at it this way, you'll surpass me and my sister very soon!"
As these words fell.
Everyone present turned to look at Shui Bing'er.
"..."
If Li Jiuxuan was Shui Bing'er's younger brother, And he was already so gifted.
Then just how powerful was Shui Bing'er's strength?
Aside from the beautiful disciples of the Skywater Sect, the members of the Godwind Academy and Blazing Fire Academy dared not even think about it anymore!
They had thought today would be a duel between Feng Xiaotian and Shui Bing'er.
They never expected that Feng Xiaotian would be defeated so easily by Li Jiuxuan.
