Fierce Battle with Yan!

Yan took a deep breath and stopped wasting words, his crimson soul power erupting from his body!

"Flame Lord, possess!"

Amidst a low roar, Yan's body suddenly grew taller, his muscles swelling as his skin turned a deep, burning red, like heated iron.

His short, fire-red hair stood on end, igniting into a raging inferno. His eyes transformed into a matching crimson, and a violent, scorching aura swept outward, causing the surrounding vegetation to wither and char instantly.

Two yellow and one purple soul ring rose from beneath his feet, pulsing slowly and radiating a powerful soul power fluctuation! The momentum of a level-forty quasi-soul ancestor was on full display!

As a member of the Golden Generation painstakingly cultivated by Spirit Hall, Yan's strength was beyond doubt.

His Flame Lord was a top-tier fire and earth-attribute beast soul, possessing violent attack power and astonishing defense; fighting those of higher ranks was a daily occurrence for him.

In his view, dealing with two level-thirty grand soul masters, even if their spirits were unique, should be a simple task.

Shui Bing'er's expression remained unchanged, though her ice-blue eyes grew deeper. She stepped forward lightly, the cold air around her turning biting.

"Ice Phoenix, possess."

A clear, resonant phoenix cry seemed to descend from the heavens. The phantom of an ice phoenix with an elegant form and feathers carved from ice crystals spread its wings behind her. Endless cold radiated from her as the center, and the ground rapidly frosted over, standing in opposition to the heat waves emitted by Yan.

Two yellow, hundred-year soul rings rose. Although her soul ring configuration was inferior to Yan's, the pure, extreme chill she exuded caused Yan's expression to tighten.

"Such a powerful ice-attribute soul beast—is that a top-tier Ice Phoenix?" Xie Yue gasped, shock finally appearing in his eyes.

He finally understood why Yan's top-tier flames had been so easily frozen!

Hu Liena's charming smile also froze on her face, her gaze toward Shui Bing'er filled with gravity.

Finally, everyone's eyes focused on Ning Xiaochun. What kind of spirit would this boy, who looked the youngest and seemed to have the weakest soul power, possess?

Ning Xiaochun remained unhurried, extending his right hand with his palm facing upward.

"Nine Killings turn, emerge, Ghost Pagoda."

A low, clear chant rang out. Unlike his usual cowardly tone, Ning Xiaochun's voice now carried a strange rhythm and majesty.

A pagoda, dark and deep as an abyss with nine levels, slowly emerged from his palm.

The pagoda's body shimmered with ominous shades of purple, gray, and dark red, as if it had condensed all the misfortune and decay in the world, radiating a heart-palpitating aura of weakening and curses.

"A nine-story pagoda? Is this... the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda? No! The color and aura are completely opposite! And it has nine levels?!"

Hu Liena exclaimed again, her charming face full of disbelief.

She naturally recognized the iconic spirit of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, but the pagoda before her was evil and eerie, completely different from the auspicious Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, yet its structure was so similar, and... it actually had nine levels!

"Is it a mutated spirit? Or..." A sharp glint flashed in Xie Yue's eyes as he stared fixedly at the Nine-Story Ghost Pagoda.

Since when did the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect produce such a bizarre spirit? And nine levels? Could it be...

Ning Xiaochun ignored their shock. Holding the Nine Killings Glazed Pagoda, he locked his gaze onto Yan, the corners of his mouth curling into a cold arc that did not match his age.

The battle began!

"First, Soft!"

Ning Xiaochun shouted low, and the first level of the Nine Killings Glazed Pagoda erupted with dark light!

A gray, inconspicuous stream of light shot out instantly, ignoring the flames burning on Yan's body and his soul power defense, and precisely submerged into him!

Yan was preparing to strike first and eliminate Ning Xiaochun, the source of this strange support, but he suddenly felt his body sink!

A peculiar sense of weakness surged from his limbs and bones, as if a thousand-pound weight had pressed down on him, and his originally surging power was forcibly weakened by more than thirty percent!

Every punch and kick felt sluggish and heavy!

"What the hell is this?!" Yan was shocked and furious. It was this strange weakening again! And this time, it felt even more pronounced! What kind of soul skill was this? How did it seem to ignore the gap in levels?

He roared, his flames surging as he tried to forcibly break through the weakening effect to pounce on Ning Xiaochun.

However, Shui Bing'er moved.

"First soul skill, Ice Seal!"

Almost the moment Ning Xiaochun's "Soft Muscle Evil" took effect, Shui Bing'er's attack arrived!

A light ring of ice-blue, more condensed and colder than before, arrived first despite being launched later, enveloping Yan!

This time, she pushed the power of her Ultimate Ice to the limit; wherever the ring passed, the air emitted the sound of freezing under unbearable pressure!

Although Yan's power was weakened, his combat instincts remained. His first soul ring lit up: "Hell Magma Rush!"

A torrent of crimson magma erupted once more, attempting to block the Ice Seal.

However, the result was identical to before! The "Hell Magma Rush," its power weakened by thirty percent, held out for only half a second upon touching the "Ice Seal" ring, which contained Ultimate Ice, before being frozen into a twisted ice sculpture once again!

The Ice Seal ring continued unabated, closing in!

Yan's expression turned ugly. He stomped his feet hard, and his second soul ring shone brightly: "Granite Rock!" At the same time, he pulled back to retreat.

Crack! As the Ice Seal ring swept past, Yan's body was once again covered in thick frost, his movements becoming even more sluggish. Although he had the defense of Granite Rock, the biting cold and the slowing effect made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Second soul skill, Ice Ring Armor!"

Shui Bing'er did not let up, her jade hands gripping the air. On the ground, countless ice-blue cold currents instantly condensed into several giant ice palms, grabbing at the sluggish Yan from all directions!

Yan roared repeatedly, his third soul ring finally shining with a blinding purple light. He held nothing back, preparing to use his strongest attack soul skill to break through Shui Bing'er's control!

"Third soul skill, Flame..."

However, just as his soul power surged and his third purple soul ring shone with extreme brilliance, at the very moment a terrifying fire-attribute fluctuation was about to erupt.

Ning Xiaochun, who had been quietly holding the Nine Killings Glazed Pagoda, moved.

He slowly raised his left hand.

From the palm of his left hand, nine-colored rays of light suddenly bloomed! Another pagoda rose, spinning rapidly!

This pagoda was crystal clear throughout, divided into nine levels, flowing with magnificent red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, gold, and white light, exuding a vast aura of holiness, auspiciousness, and the amplification of all things!

It formed an extreme contrast with the Nine Killings Glazed Pagoda in his right hand!

"This is the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, oh no... why does it have nine levels, the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda?!"

This time, even Xie Yue could not maintain his composure and exclaimed in shock! His voice even carried a hint of trembling! The Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda!

And, it appeared on this child? Wait... that strange nine-story pagoda in his right hand...

"Twin Martial Souls!!!"

Hu Liena and Xie Yue, including Yan, who was struggling against the Ice Grip while preparing to release his third soul skill, had this thunderous thought explode in their minds simultaneously!

This black-haired boy, who looked no more than six or seven years old, was actually a twin martial soul user!

Moreover, his two martial souls were the legendary Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda and the unheard-of, bizarrely powerful Nine-Story Ghost Pagoda! How could this be possible?!
