Myriad Appearances Town Inner Courtyard (3)

Ma Xiaotao lost.

But her loss was well worth it.

No one questions this, because if a near-death failure can Martial Soul Evolution, transforming it from Evil Fire Phoenix into a phoenix with Ultimate Fire attributes, all the Soul Master in the world would be eager to try, willing to spend any amount of money to buy a chance to experience failure.

Meanwhile, around the playground, a group of the Shrek Academy Inner Court students who were watching as spectators finally understood why the Poseidon Pavilion had offered such outrageous rewards. Just like the dumbfounded Deans Yan Shaozhe, Qian Duoduo, Xian Lin'er, and Cai Meier on the roof of the freshman dormitory, even the white-haired, youthful-looking old woman, Old Song, was stunned and speechless, just like Xuan Zi Lao, who had stopped eating chicken legs.

Until the first harsh sound of swallowing saliva rang out.

A series of sighs and lamentations echoed around the playground and on the rooftops of the freshmen dormitories.

"This is his Martial Soul?" Amidst the crowd, Ling Luochen's eyes held both astonishment and resentment. "A phoenix of Ultimate Fire?"

"It seems so..." Gongyang Mo, also a current member of the Shrek Seven Devils, frowned slightly, his attitude and emotions unusually serious. "It must be said, he does indeed have the ability to challenge Shrek Academy. Ultimate Attribute have absolute suppressive power over any non- Ultimate Attribute, and the suppressive power between the same attributes is even stronger!"

"Big brother..." Dai Huabin ran over looking miserable.

Before he could speak, Dai Yueheng stopped him.

"Try to treat this defeat as an honor..." Dai Yueheng, the eldest son and Dai Huabin's older brother, was always the pride of the White Tiger Duke and Duchess. Dai Huabin dared not disobey him. "Losing to a Soul Master with an Ultimate Attribute Martial Soul is not a disgrace. His Soul Power Level is higher than yours, and his Martial Soul is stronger than yours. Unless your Martial Soul can evolve into the Evil Eye Holy King like my Dai Family ancestor, you will not have the potential to be beaten by him. You must remember, that is a Phoenix, not some Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Phoenix. The Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Phoenix is the only one on par with the Evil Eye Holy King. The true Phoenix is above the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Phoenix!"

"The Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Phoenix is Martial Soul of Ma Hongjun, the Phoenix God among the original Shrek Seven Devils; the Evil Eye Holy King is the martial Martial Soul of God of War Dai Mubai among the original Shrek Seven Devils..." Gongyang Mo interjected, "Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai were two offensive forces among the original Shrek Seven Devils, evenly matched, so it's not surprising that you lost to them, junior. Even if your eldest brother went up, his Martial Soul would still be suppressed; there's nothing that can be done about it..."

Dai Huabin subconsciously focused his gaze on his elder brother.

Then, he received a sharp rap on the head from Dai Yueheng.

"What are you looking at me for?" Dai Yueheng said with a dark face, introducing Gongyang Mo, who had just spoken, to Dai Huabin: "This is Gongyang Mo, one of the current Shrek Seven Devils, and also my teammate. Do you think he would lie to you?"

"I'm sorry, Brother Yang..."

Dai Huabin dared not flaunt his status in front of Gongyang Mo.

It called out obediently.

Zhu Lu stayed behind Dai Yueheng.

Watching the situation unfold on the field.

"If no one else is willing to go up, then I'll go up and try out his Soul Skill..." Ling Luochen stepped out from the front row, glanced around at the Inner Court students, and seeing that no one agreed, lightly strode onto the training ground. "Ling Luochen, my Martial Soul is ice, a level 55 control-type Soul King, please enlighten me!"

"Please."

Ye Qingcang nodded, then remained unmoved.

Standing there empty-handed.

In Ling Luochen's view, this was a sign of disrespect.

Her anger flared, but unlike Ma Xiaotao who immediately vented her emotions, Ling Luochen controlled herself well. With a stomp of her foot, five Soul Ring— two yellow, two purple, and one black—rose from beneath her feet. The cold current generated when she released her Martial Soul barely balanced the temperature on the ground, preventing the training ground, which had just been baptized by a sea of fire, from exhibiting a visually distorted air effect.

With a flick of his wrist, the first Soul Ring flashed.

A staff made of ice fell into his palm.

The 50% reduction in Magic Power consumption and the 30% increase in total Soul Power ensure Ling Luochen's sustained output as a positional mage.

Then, the Second Soul Ring flashed.

A layer of transparent ice armor covered his body.

It's somewhat similar to Shui Bing'er's Ice Armor Soul Skill.

Both are primarily defensive Soul Skill.

Provides Soul Master of the positional mage type with functions such as immunity to control effects, resistance to interruption, and damage reduction, further enhancing the positional mage type Soul Master's ability to output damage while stationary.

Positioning?

Poor positioning ≈ Reduced damage output!

A true turret is one that stands still and delivers damage throughout the entire field!

Then...

Fourth Soul Skill: Ice Mist Seclusion!

Ma Xiaotao, a Soul Emperor, was brought to the brink of death. Ling Luochen dared not test how long his fragile level 55 body could withstand the attack. He prioritized saving his own life and then unleashed his ultimate move to control the battlefield. As the mist containing the cold poison spread throughout the entire area, there was no probing. All he did was pour in wounds, pour in wounds, pour in wounds, and pour in wounds again!

Fifth Soul Skill: Ice Radiance Ring!

Third Soul Skill: Ice Prison!

It's similar to Shui Bing'er's Soul Skill.

She's not even as strong as Shui Bing'er after her sublimation.

What? You're saying Ling Luochen's Martial Soul is ice, and its strength is close to the Ultimate Ice?

That's ridiculous! Ten thousand years ago, there was no concept of Ultimate Attribute. The emergence of Ultimate Attribute did not prove that Shrek Academy had made any progress in the research of Martial Soul. On the contrary, it proved one thing: each generation of Soul Master was worse than the last. That's why Shrek Academy had nothing to research and forced out an Ultimate Attribute to fill the gaps!

Fire immunity or fire attacks: which is stronger?

Fire Immunity or Ultimate Fire, which is stronger?

Which is stronger: Ice Immunity or Frost Attack?

Ice Immunity or Ultimate Ice, which is stronger?

There is never any such thing as an Ultimate Attribute; there is only the strength of fire immunity, and whether it exceeds the temperature contained in fire attacks.

Take Ye Qingcang's current resistance as an example. Ye Qingcang's fire immunity and ice immunity are enough to ensure that he is unharmed by Ma Xiaotao's newly awakened Ultimate Fire and the Ultimate Ice controlled by Sky Dream Ice Worm. However, if it is the Ultimate Ice of the Ice Empress or the Ultimate Ice controlled by the Snow Empress, Ye Qingcang's current ice immunity will not be able to achieve the point of being unharmed.

But can we say that Ye Qingcang doesn't have fire immunity or ice immunity?

Being immune to flames at 100 degrees Celsius does not mean being immune to flames at 1,000 degrees Celsius; being immune to flames at 1,000 degrees Celsius does not mean being immune to flames at 10,000 degrees Celsius; being able to bask in sunlight does not mean being able to withstand the scorching sun.

The study of Ultimate Attribute is the most useless research. This research has precisely locked the upper limit of elemental Martial Soul, making all Soul Master believe that Ultimate Attribute are the pinnacle of elemental Martial Soul, and thus losing the desire to continue developing Martial Soul.

so...

"Let me shatter this notion completely..."

Ye Qingcang slowly raised his hand.

After lifting it into the air, press it down with lightning speed!

It starts with the air you touch with your fingertips!

All the moisture in the air quickly turned into ice crystals!

Even the several Soul Skill used by Ling Luochen stopped functioning!

Clumps of irregularly shaped Ice Ridge, resembling pointed clusters, sprouted in every corner of the playground, even taking root in the air and spreading out in all directions. In the blink of an eye, four icicle pillars rose from the corner of the playground, followed by six flowing ice mirrors extending from these four pillars, blocking all paths in all directions!

The moisture is compressed without limit!

The air is also compressed without limit!

In the blink of an eye, the chill, which was infinitely close to Absolute Zero, completely Ice Seal the space of the playground and everything in Ice Seal, except for Ye Qingcang!

"This... is the correct way to use ice!" A Ye Qingcang, a vast, lifeless universe. If it weren't for the fact that some particles could still move, even time would be considered frozen. "We live in a water-based world. Our bodies are composed of over 70% water and the rest of the matter. Creating ice with Soul Power is the most expensive, least profitable, and slowest method. The correct way is to understand the universe, to maximize the advantage of your elemental Martial Soul in aligning with nature, so that the universe recognizes you as one of them. Then, use Soul Power —whether it's releasing Soul Skill or accelerating the circulation of water—to bring about a qualitative transformation, not just a quantitative increase!"
