Absolute Control in One Second

"Mm, did you need something from me? If not, please move aside. Don't block the middle of the road."

Li Moxun spoke as he swept his gaze over the four of them.

Under the boy's red-eyed gaze, they all seemed somewhat helpless. Gu Yue was still the one who stepped forward, glancing at Li Moxun.

"Xiaoyan's Martial Soul is stronger at night. We're planning to test it out, then go challenge Teacher Wu. Are you coming with us?"

As Gu Yue spoke, she raised an eyebrow at Li Moxun.

Li Moxun had zero interest in this matter. But seeing that all four of them had come to find him, he fell silent for a second before ultimately nodding.

"Let's go. We can go take a look."

Li Moxun glanced at them as he spoke, then walked over to join them. The group headed straight for the training room.

It was not because Li Moxun had nothing better to do, but because he was quite interested in how much strength this so-called number one controller beneath the stars could display at night.

After all, during their previous sparring session, Xu Xiaoyan had only used the Ice Staff's abilities. Though they were powerful, they were ultimately limited.

Inside the training ground, Xu Xiaoyan stood at the very back as the group entered.

A trace of shyness lingered on the girl's face. Both hands tightly gripped her Starwheel Ice Staff, while her eyes held a hint of seriousness.

Tang Wulin stood off to one side, with Gu Yue beside him. Xie Xie crossed his arms over his chest and watched the scene with great interest.

Li Moxun leaned against the outermost wall as well, his gaze fixed on Xu Xiaoyan.

With all four pairs of eyes focused on her, Xu Xiaoyan visibly grew a little nervous.

"Oh, it's really nerve-racking when you all stare at me like that."

"That just means everyone cares about you. Come on, let us have a look."

Tang Wulin smiled at Xu Xiaoyan as he spoke.

Xu Xiaoyan did not answer. She merely took a deep breath.

"Then I'll begin."

"Stars in the sky, shining bright. Ever radiant, forever serene. Grant me your power, my starwheel."

As Xu Xiaoyan murmured the incantation, she slowly lowered her head before raising the Starwheel Ice Staff in her hands.

A powerful icy chill spread out. Then, a bright orange glow flashed through the sky.

At the same time, a six-pointed star appeared upon Xu Xiaoyan's Ice Staff.

Watching Xu Xiaoyan's transformation, Li Moxun slightly raised his head, his red eyes fixed upon her.

Compared to the others, he could sense just how tremendous the girl's change was.

After drawing upon the power of the starry sky, not only had her presence risen, but a kind of Soul Power belonging to the stars had appeared within her Soul Power. It could also be called starlight power.

This power was no weaker than ordinary Soul Power. Even some powerful Soul Masters might not have noticed anything unusual about it.

But because he possessed the White King Martial Soul and special spiritual power, Li Moxun saw it very clearly.

This was not merely some special starlight power mixed into her Soul Power. Rather, this starlight power had begun to affect Xu Xiaoyan's Soul Power as a whole.

As Li Moxun pondered this, the girl raised her head. Her beautiful blue eyes swept over the group, then locked onto Li Moxun almost instantly.

With a lift of her hand, six massive ice chains shot straight at Li Moxun without the slightest pause.

The ice chains came swiftly, but Li Moxun had no intention of dodging. The boy remained casually leaned against the wall.

Yet as the chains descended, he calmly straightened up, sensing that he had instantly fallen into a state where he could not move.

Li Moxun could feel that he had been trapped by some peculiar sealing power. Whether it was the circulation speed of his Soul Power or other aspects, all of them had been greatly affected.

"A very impressive Soul Skill. It can actually restrict the circulation speed of my Soul Power. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't be able to resist at the same rank."

Li Moxun's voice was soft, but as he looked at Xu Xiaoyan, his gaze carried a trace of approval.

This ability truly was quite good.

Hearing Li Moxun's words, Xu Xiaoyan shyly scratched her head.

"At night, I can borrow the power of the starwheel to fight, so my Martial Soul is the Starwheel Ice Staff. It is a special Martial Soul passed down through my family since ancient times.

"With my current strength, I can only immobilize one person, and the effect of the immobilization is directly proportional to my cultivation.

"Also, once this ability is used, it grants one second of absolute control. No matter what kind of enemy it is used against, there will be one second of absolute control. Of course, while using it, I can't move either."

Xu Xiaoyan spoke to the others with great seriousness. This was the greatest secret of her Martial Soul, yet she revealed it without reservation before these so-called companions.

Xie Xie's and Tang Wulin's eyes both lit up at her words.

Li Moxun beside them also fell into thought. But as he felt the Starwheel Ice Staff's restraints around him, he casually raised a hand, and the Titan Snow Demon King Martial Soul appeared behind him.

As supreme power descended, the six chains wrapped around him shattered in an instant.

When she sensed the chains break, Xu Xiaoyan's face turned slightly pale, but she did not say anything.

If this power were used on Xie Xie, it could completely restrain him. But when used against Li Moxun, it only had that one second of absolute restraint.

"What a powerful ability. It'll be a huge help in our future team battles."

Tang Wulin spoke with delight on his face.

One second of absolute control—this ability was incredibly useful. Especially when fully unleashed, the effects it could produce were even more astonishing.

"If only we could use it in tomorrow's practical combat training. But the problem is, tomorrow's combat training is during the day."

As Xie Xie spoke, he glanced at Xu Xiaoyan and Tang Wulin, then sighed.

After all, they had practical combat training tomorrow.

At the thought of that training, Li Moxun frowned as well. Wu Zhangkong had given him a thorough beating that afternoon.

Though his strength was what it was, unless he revealed the White King Martial Soul, he still could not defeat Wu Zhangkong with the Titan Snow Demon King alone, even after reaching the Third Ring.

But with this ability—one second of absolute control—combined with his first soul skill, Titan Snow Demon Power, and his second soul skill, Ice Prison Fist...

Li Moxun's eyes flickered slightly. He felt that he might have a chance to get his revenge.

But before he could speak, Tang Wulin had already risen to his feet, his eyes gleaming faintly.

"Let's go. Teacher Wu probably isn't asleep yet. We can just go find him directly. I have a way to make Teacher Wu fight us."

A sly look flashed across Tang Wulin's face as he spoke. The others did not linger and headed straight for the teachers' apartments.

When they knocked on the door, it opened.

Seeing Wu Zhangkong standing there in blue pajamas covered in little yellow ducks, they nearly burst out laughing.

Wu Zhangkong stared at them, confusion in his eyes.

"Hmm? What do you mean? You want to have practical combat training right now?"

"Yes, Teacher Wu. Of course, if you're afraid, we can wait until tomorrow morning."
