Seeing Ling Luochеn's elegant gameplay and his effortless style that "sounds like" Lin Ciyan.
In the waiting area, everyone's expressions changed.
Wang Yan was speechless.
Dai Yueheng's expression was complicated. "Her ice attribute... is absolutely the Ultimate Ice. This progress is terrifying."
Xi Xi covered her mouth, her eyes filled with joy for her friend, but also with a bittersweet feeling of being left out. " Luo Chen become so strong?"
Meanwhile, in the lounge...
Ma Xiaotao lay slumped in Lin Ciyan's arms, her short, orange-red hair damp with sweat and plastered to her forehead.
Her breathing was rapid, and her face was still flushed.
The Evil Fire within the body has been completely transformed.
The Phoenix Flame, originally orange-red, now have a faint golden tinge around their edges.
That was the prototype of the Ultimate Fire.
My Soul Power has increased from level 64 to the peak of level 64!
Lin Ciyan gently stroked her back, feeling the prompts from the Slacker System" within her body:
[ Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul quality has been upgraded, and the prototype of the Ultimate Fire has been formed!]
[Feedback energy conversion, host's Soul Power: Peak level 68 → Level 69!]
A breakthrough has been achieved.
He's only one level away from becoming Soul Saint.
Ma Xiaotao recovered and looked up at him, her eyes glistening with tears. "I... am I also at the Ultimate Attribute now?"
"Mm." Lin Ciyan nodded.
"Although it's still in its nascent stage, as long as we continue to cultivate, its complete transformation is only a matter of time."
Ma Xiaotao smiled contentedly, but then, as if remembering something, she snorted, "That little bitch fought on the field, we 'fought' in the lounge, so we're even."
Lin Ciyan laughed.
Just then, faint footsteps came from outside the door.
The two exchanged a glance and quickly straightened their clothes.
The door was gently pushed open a crack, Wang Dong poked half his head in, his handsome face flushed beneath his short, light blue hair. "Master, the competition is over... Senior Sister Ling won..."
Her eyes darted around as she spoke, clearly indicating that she interrupted to remind her "master."
Lin Ciyan calm. "Understood, we'll head over now."
Wang Dong quickly pulled his head back, and the sound of his footsteps hurriedly faded away.
Ma Xiaotao frowned, her beautiful eyes narrowing. "Does this little guy already know?"
Lin Ciyan helped her straighten her collar. "Not necessarily. Didn't we only sense his arrival when he came?"
In reality, it was Lin Ciyan who noticed that the battle on the field had ended and Wang Dong's departing figure had returned, which is why he withdrew his Soul Power barrier.
Wang Dong was brought in to interrupt their already concluded "battle".
When the two left the lounge and returned to the waiting area, Ling Luochеn had already come down from the stage.
When she saw Lin Ciyan and Ma Xiaotao return together, her icy blue eyes flickered slightly, but she said nothing and simply sat back down quietly.
Zhang Lexuan looked at Lin Ciyan, her eyes gentle yet questioning.
Lin Ciyan smiled at her, walked over and sat down next to her. "You won?"
"Mm," Zhang Lexuan responded softly, " Luo Chen did very well."
"I know." Lin Ciyan held her hand.
Across from him, Ling Luochеn lowered his eyes.
Beside her, Ma Xiaotao crossed her arms and pouted.
In the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy area, Xiao Hongchen's face was gloomy. "Just how many trump cards does Shrek have hidden?"
Meng Hongchen's icy blue eyes were fixed on Ling Luochеn, then glanced at Lin Ciyan, her wine-red hair swaying gently in the wind.
She murmured to herself, "The ultimate evolution of ice attribute..."
Shrek is truly full of hidden talents; if it's not just that, then it's even more mysterious and terrifying than we currently know.
Amid cheers from the audience, the Shrek members rose and left.
Ling Luochеn walked in the group, her blue and white school uniform spotless, her long legs encased in white stockings moving with elegant steps.
Today, she proved it to everyone.
Shrek's strength lies not only in the captain's Relaxation Domain and nonchalant attitude, but also in the Ice Queen's aloof elegance.
The referee's victory announcement still echoed in the stadium.
Star Luo Square was filled with cheers.
Ling Luochеn achieved a stunning victory over Yunluo Academy, defeating three opponents in a single battle.
This kind of composed strength is more awe-inspiring than simple and brutal crushing.
In the stands, almost all 200,000 eyes were fixed on the blue and white figure in the preparation area.
Until the Shrek team left the preparation area.
"Let's go to the spectator stands."
Lin Ciyan stood up, his short, golden-white hair gleaming faintly in the sunlight.
His voice wasn't loud, but it silenced the entire waiting area.
Zhang Lexuan smiled gently, stood up, and naturally straightened his collar. "If the captain says to leave, then let's go."
His tone was gentle, yet it conveyed an undeniable authority.
Wang Yan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
According to his original plan, he should have immediately taken the team back to rest, maintain an air of mystery, and avoid being observed too much by other teams.
While watching the match, he also told Huo Yuhao and the others from the preliminary team that he planned to go back and rest later.
But what Wang Yan didn't expect was that before he could even speak, Lin Ciyan issued an order.
Wang Yan recalled Mu En's instructions before his departure, "For this competition, everything revolves around Ci Yan and Lexuan. You only need to be responsible for logistical support."
"Yes, Grandmaster," Wang Yan finally replied respectfully.
Shrek and his group then got up and left.
The short stretch of just a few dozen meters from the waiting area to the passageway was under the intense scrutiny of almost every participating team.
Those gazes held fear, awe, curiosity, and also a fighting spirit.
In the area of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, Xiao Hongchen's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.
"Six people... she took care of six people all by herself," he muttered to himself.
Are all the Shrek's starting players this strong?
Meng Hongchen stood beside him, her icy blue eyes following Ling Luochеn's retreating figure.
Her long, wine-red hair swayed gently in the breeze as she whispered, "Brother, Ling Luochеn's ice attribute... seems to be more than just ordinary Ultimate Ice."
"What's the meaning?"
"I can't quite explain it either," Meng Hongchen shook her head, "But her ice... it feels purer to me than the ice-attribute Soul Engineer in the academy. It's like..."
She paused, then found a suitable word. "Like a born Ice Queen."
Xiao Hongchen's eyes flickered, finally settling into a cold snort, " Shrek... what a Shrek."
At this moment, he noticed that the Shrek team did not leave directly like last time, but stopped at the entrance of the passage.
"Aren't they going back?" Xiao Hongchen frowned.
Meng Hongchen also looked over.
Zhang Lexuan was speaking to the Shrek students when she pointed to a relatively open area above the audience seats.
Those were reserved specifically for the participating academies to watch the games.
"They... are going to stay and watch the game?" Xiao Hongchen's eyes flashed with surprise.
This is not in line with Shrek's usual style.
Based on past practice, they should have left quickly to maintain secrecy.
The Shrek team members were already seated in the spectator stands.
Lin Ciyan leaned back in the comfortable chair, his posture as languid as if he were on vacation.
Zhang Lexuan sat beside him, the hem of her moon-white dress spreading out gently, her long legs together and placed to the side, her posture elegant.
"Captain, why should we stay and watch the game?" Bei Bei couldn't help but ask.
He actually shared the same doubts as Wang Yan.
Wouldn't it be better to remain mysterious and avoid exposure?
Lin Ciyan didn't even open his eyes, and said lazily, "Let's watch the show."
"Ah?"
"The match is so exciting, it would be a shame to miss it." Lin Ciyan finally opened his eyes and looked at Bei Bei.
"Moreover, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. How long can you just hide?"
