Ultimate Ice Battles Destruction! A Troublesome Opponent!
Facing Tang Dong, who was ranked number one on the Genius Ranking, Bai Yuan took the situation more seriously than he had against any of his previous opponents.
That chill emanating from the depths of the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul,
Bai Yuan's lips slowly curved into a smile.
Four ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet.
Black, black, black, black.
It actively released the phantom wings on its back.
A pair of golden wings unfolded from behind him, their membranes swirling with intricate patterns, like a star map being ignited.
Tang Dong felt a sense of oppression descending from the sky.
It felt like an invisible mountain was pressing down on his shoulders, making it take him more effort to breathe than usual.
Is this still a newbie??
That's a bit of an exaggeration; he's getting serious.
The Second Soul Ring of the millennium has been activated.
Ice Jade Scorpion's second Soul Skill: Ice Jade Pincer.
Purple light exploded in the sunlight, and hexagonal diamond-shaped Diamond Ice Crystal grew from Tang Dong's hands.
Its palms are as indestructible as the ancient ice of the Far North; the Diamond Ice Crystal not only possess powerful defensive capabilities but also terrifying offensive power.
Each ice crystal is a sharp blade, capable of tearing through steel and slicing through rock.
Tang Dong stomped his foot and shot towards Bai Yuan like an arrow.
His speed wasn't fast, but every step he took carried a suffocating sense of oppression.
With arms outstretched, the Diamond Ice Crystal slammed into Bai Yuan's chest.
Bai Yuan did not retreat, nor did he dodge.
He gripped the Dawnmaker tightly, and four Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring slowly rotated beneath his feet.
The phantom wings on his back flapped suddenly, golden light spots drifted from the wing membranes, and a sword slashed forward.
The blade collided with the Diamond Ice Crystal, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound.
Tang Dong suddenly stopped, then took several steps back.
Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ice beneath their feet, and each step left a deep footprint on the arena.
How is that possible?
His defenses have never been breached so directly by anyone of the same level.
Ice Jade Pincer was his strongest defensive Soul Skill; even Tang Dong himself dared not say he could withstand it head-on.
But Bai Yuan not only accepted the attack, he also managed to defeat him.
The Diamond Ice Crystal on my palm were still trembling slightly, and cracks spread from my palm to the back of my hand.
Although it didn't shatter, the tremor made his entire arm go numb.
The square instantly erupted in chaos.
"Tang Dong was defeated? Really?"
"The Heaven Ranking was cleaved in two by an exchange student with a single sword strike?"
"Doesn't he have four Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings? What's so surprising about that?"
"But Tang Dong also has two Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings! And he's Five-Ring Soul King, while Bai Yuan only has four!"
"Four-Ring Soul Ancestor repelled Five-Ring Soul King? Is he even human?"
Bai Yuan looked at Tang Dong's slightly trembling arms and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"It hasn't started yet."
Tang Dong's pupils contracted slightly.
He looked at Bai Yuan's smiling face, took a deep breath, and suppressed the surging shock.
The Diamond Ice Crystal on my palm were still trembling slightly, but the vibration was gradually weakening.
"Come."
Tang Dong clenched his fists.
He stomped his foot and charged towards Bai Yuan again, this time faster, fiercer, and more resolute than before.
The Ice Jade Pincer slammed down once more.
Bai Yuan watched the fierce attack, which was wrapped in Diamond Ice Crystal and extreme cold, and the smile on his lips deepened.
The Dawnmaker was held horizontally in front of him, and the phantom wings on his back suddenly flapped, with golden light spots drifting from the wing membranes.
This time, he no longer passively accepted the challenge, but actively met it.
The two clashed on the ring.
Each clash between the sword blade and the ice crystals created a visible shockwave.
The shockwave caused the soul-guided barrier at the edge of the arena to vibrate and hum.
Ice crystal fragments scattered and flew everywhere, only to be crushed into powder by the subsequent shockwave.
Bai Yuan slashed out with his sword, Tang Dong raised his arm to block.
Several more cracks appeared on the Diamond Ice Crystal, and the body was shaken back a step.
Sword after sword, step after step, from the center of the arena to the edge, and then forced back to the center.
Throughout the entire game, Bai Yuan was on the offensive, while Tang Dong was on the defensive.
This clash of pure power caused his bones to groan and every muscle to scream in pain.
But his eyes grew brighter and brighter, and the curve of his lips widened.
He had not encountered an opponent who could directly match his strength for a long time.
Hahahaha!
Tang Dong's laughter exploded on the arena, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.
"Junior, your strength is amazing!"
The Ice Jade Pincer slammed down again, this time with all his might.
Ultimate Ice exploded from the Diamond Ice Crystal, and blue ice mist enveloped the two of them.
The Dawnmaker slashed horizontally, its golden sword energy tearing through the icy mist and colliding with the Ice Jade Pincer.
"Very good."
Tang Dong's voice was deep and calm.
"This is the kind of opponent I want."
The sound of ice crystals shattering exploded on the arena. The Ultimate Ice was shattered by Dawn, and countless ice crystal fragments flew in all directions.
The lingering, domineering force pierced through the Ice Jade Pincer's defense, forcing Tang Dong back three steps.
Tang Dong steadied himself and looked down at his palm. Most of the Diamond Ice Crystal had shattered, revealing the flesh underneath, which was red and bruised from the shock.
His lips slowly parted into a wide grin, revealing an almost maniacal smile.
It's been too long; he's been waiting for such an opponent for far too long.
The square erupted in chaos.
"Tang Dong is having a blast! Look at his expression, he's smiling!"
"After all, the Ice Jade Scorpion is renowned for its Ultimate Ice, and its superhuman strength is also a symbol of the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan."
But today
"We've met our match!"
Li Qiankun crossed his arms and looked at the composed black figure on the stage, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
When he lost to Bai Yuan, he still harbored a lingering sense of resentment.
Seeing Tang Dong being beaten so badly, that trace of resentment quietly dissipated.
It's not shameful to lose to this monster.
Nangong Yao stood below the stage, her fingertips lightly touching her chin, her gaze lingering on Bai Yuan.
A man who could directly overpower Tang Dong was even more alluring than she had imagined.
Her lips curved into a smile, and she lightly licked her lips with the tip of her tongue.
If I have the chance, I must have a good "sparring match" with him.
On the ring.
Tang Dong took a deep breath and brought the surging blood back down.
The Diamond Ice Crystal receded from his palms, revealing his hands underneath, which were red and trembling slightly from the shock.
But his back remained ramrod straight.
His eyes still burned with fighting spirit.
"Continue."
Tang Dong clenched his fist, and Diamond Ice Crystal reappeared from his palm, even more densely packed than before.
Come!
Come!!!
Tang Dong let out a low shout, and his third Soul Ring blazed with purple light.
A biting wind suddenly howled, and heavy snow fell from the sky, with sharp ice shards densely covering the ground.
The entire arena was enveloped in a white, frigid Eternal Freeze.
The temperature plummeted, affecting the floor and edges of the ring.
A thick layer of frost had formed on the soul-guiding barrier of the arena.
In the frigid realm of Extreme Ice Blizzard, within that realm, he is a god.
Pain is reduced, sensitivity is increased, and the opponent's movements become sluggish.
He himself thrived in the blizzard, moving faster, reacting more quickly, and becoming stronger.
This ebb and flow is what makes the Ice Jade Scorpion so terrifying.
It wasn't a momentary burst of power, but a sustained and overwhelming dominance.
It drags you into the abyss without you even realizing it, until you finally realize what's happening.
You can't even lift a finger anymore.
Bai Yuan stood in the heart of the blizzard, the hem of his coat fluttering in the cold wind.
Tang Dong's figure appeared and disappeared in the blizzard; he was much faster than before.
Diamond Ice Crystal condensed in his palm and attacked him from all directions.
One punch, two punches, three punches—each punch carried the chill of Ultimate Ice.
Each attack was more ferocious than the last.
Bai Yuan unleashed a sword strike, forcing Tang Dong back.
But Tang Dong retreated into the blizzard, only to attack again from another direction the next second.
You never know from what angle he'll appear next.
The Extreme Ice Blizzard is not only a cage for his opponent, but also an amplifier of his senses.
His movements became faster and faster, and Bai Yuan's sword also became faster and faster.
Their figures intersected, collided, separated, and collided again in the blizzard.
Ice crystals and sword energy scattered and flew in all directions, leaving dense marks on the arena.
Bai Yuan appeared in front of Tang Dong in the next instant, his Dawnmaker slashing diagonally upwards.
With golden sword energy, it tore through the blizzard and slashed towards Tang Dong's chest.
Tang Dong's pupils contracted slightly, and he crossed his arms in front of him, forming a thick ice shield with Diamond Ice Crystal on his arms.
The sword blade collided with the ice shield, producing a dull, resounding thud.
The ice shield shattered, cracking like a spiderweb, and Tang Dong's body was sent flying backward by the shock.
It arced through the blizzard and crashed heavily to the ground.
Bai Yuan watched as Tang Dong got up from the ground.
"A good area."
He said.
But that's not enough.
Tang Dong got up from the ground and brushed the ice chips off his clothes.
He looked at Bai Yuan and suddenly smiled.
There was no resentment or anger in that smile.
There was only one kind of pure, heartfelt joy.
"Again."
Tang Dong clenched his fist, and Diamond Ice Crystal reappeared in his palm.
The blizzard became even more violent at that moment.
