What the Ice and Snow Goddess Was Supposed to Be

"Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy wins the first round of the singles elimination tournament!"

Shi Wudi was now frozen into an ice sculpture and incapacitated.

The referee then flew out to announce the result of the match, his voice filled with surprise, clearly not expecting the reserve team members of the Sun Moon Royal Academy to be so strong.

Not only him, but even the audience on stage were surprised that this little girl could eliminate her opponent with just one palm strike.

Should the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy continue the fight?

"Continue."

Yao Shi's tone was indifferent.

"Alright, in that case, the next member of the Steel Armor Academy will prepare to enter the game."

The referee finished speaking.

At the same time, another member emerged from the Steel Armor Academy, still a Five-Ring Soul King.

Having learned from the previous teammate's mistake, the Steel Armor Academy member didn't waste any more words the moment the referee called for the start of the match. He immediately released his Martial Soul —a giant heavy sword—and swiftly slashed at Yao Shi.

Boom!

The greatsword's weight gives it a significant advantage, resulting in powerful attacks. However, its biggest drawback is its sluggishness.

Yao Shi didn't even need to deliberately dodge; he simply took a few steps back and easily dodged the attack.

The Steel Armor Academy member, wielding a heavy sword, slammed it down heavily on the empty space Yao Shi had previously stood.

Before his body could adjust due to inertia, Yao Shi had already released an ice sword that stabbed towards him.

Before he could parry, he was pierced by the ice sword and turned into an ice sculpture.

"Why don't you all come at me together? Taking them down one by one is too time-consuming."

Before the referee could even announce the result of the match, Yao Shi had already spoken towards the Steel Armor Academy team.

His tone was sincere, without a hint of sarcasm; he simply felt that this would be faster.

"Referee, I'm taking on all five of them at the same time. The rules should allow that, right?"

At this moment Yao Shi turned back to look at the referee.

"Well..."

The referee on the arena was at a loss for words upon hearing Yao Shi's words.

What am I supposed to say? The rules don't seem to say that one person can play against multiple opponents at the same time in a singles elimination tournament, but they also don't say it's not allowed!

He's just an ordinary referee responsible for the safety of both teams, not a rule maker. This isn't something he can just agree to with a nod!

The referee was caught in a dilemma.

"I grant permission."

Just as the referee remained silent on the stage, the voice of Star Luo Emperor, Xu Jiawei, rang out from the high platform.

As the host nation of this Soul Fighting Tournament, aside from not being able to favor any team, he is still qualified to allow simple requests like those proposed by Yao Shi, which are outside the rules but are nonetheless straightforward.

Moreover, this was something Yao Shi himself proposed.

"Since this member of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy is so confident in his abilities, let's do as he says."

Upon hearing that the Star Luo Emperor had spoken, the referee immediately confirmed with Yao Shi.

"Are you sure you want to challenge all five members of the Steel Armor Academy at the same time?"

"I'm sure."

Yao Shi nodded.

"Since that's the case..."

The referee turned to the Steel Armor Academy, "Now, please send five players from the Steel Armor Academy team to compete."

"Furthermore, if all five of these individuals are eliminated, your academy's participation in this Soul Fighting Tournament will come to an end."

Steel Armor Academy did not refuse Yao Shi's request to take on five opponents at once.

Their team leader was a Seven-Ring Soul Sage, and after two consecutive battles, he could tell that Yao Shi hadn't been weakened much at all.

In a one-on-one situation, they might actually be defeated by a single opponent, but now that the opponent has offered to fight five against one, it has actually given them a chance to win.

As long as it's not a humiliating defeat like being swept seven times in a row, it doesn't matter whether we win or lose next.

Steel Armor Academy immediately sent its remaining five official team members up at the same time.

"Both sides are in position."

"The match begins!"

Both teams stepped onto the ring simultaneously, with the referee positioned between them. He shouted and swung his arm down heavily, sending the referee flying into the air.

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Yao Shi didn't give them another chance to make the first move and quickly rushed into the midst of the five opponents.

"Watch out, he's attacking!"

When the captain of the Steel Armor Academy team saw Yao Shi rushing towards them, he quickly alerted his teammates.

"Damn it, that speed! Is this guy really just Soul Ancestor?"

The captain of the Steel Armor Academy gritted his teeth and muttered something under his breath.

"Snow Dance Shining Sun."

Yao Shi called out softly.

His body began to emanate an extremely cold aura, which instantly spread to the entire arena, causing the cold air within it to rage uncontrollably.

Under the extreme cold brought by Yao Shi, the five members of the Steel Armor Academy were suppressed and unable to even release their Martial Soul.

"Damn it, what kind of Soul Skill is this? Why can't I use my Soul Power?"

On the arena, the three Soul Kings and two Soul Ancestor Masters from the Steel Armor Academy were filled with doubt.

The chill brought by the Snow Dance Shining Sun quickly caused the moisture in the air to condense, and the arena was gradually covered with a layer of white snow.

If it weren't for the energy shield surrounding the arena, this chill would have even affected the spectators on the outside.

"This... this is a domain!!"

Those Soul Sage and above who were watching from outside exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Yao Shi's Soul Skill.

"Who's on the stage!" an unknown Titled Douluo shouted from outside the arena. "A Four Rings Soul Master with a Domain-type Soul Skill? The Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy has such a genius student!"

Let alone the teachers and students of other academies, even Elder Ma and the other team members of Yao Shi's own Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy couldn't help but feel ashamed when they saw Yao Shi's strength.

It's well known that domain-type skills are extremely rare; ordinary Soul Master might never even comprehend them in their entire lives. Yet now, they've actually witnessed one in a student who's only at the Four Rings.

"Heh... heh... I never expected that my Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy would possess such a powerful Soul Master."

Elder Ma was visibly excited; he was referring to powerful Soul Master, not just Soul Engineer.

Because Yao Shi never used a single Soul Tool from beginning to end, he completely crushed them with the methods of Soul Master.

Having defeated two Soul Kings in two previous moves, he now uses his domain technique to suppress all five opponents.

"With Yao Shi here, it seems the Shrek Academy's reserve team members aren't so great after all. They're not much of a threat in the next tournament, hahaha!"

Xiao Hongchen also smiled bitterly as he looked at Du Meng Hongchen to the side.

"Dream, now I finally understand why Grandpa took him as his disciple. This junior brother is truly an unparalleled prodigy!"

"Luckily, he's from our academy. If he were our enemy, I might not even have a chance to defeat him."

Prideful as Xiao Hongchen, he had already reached the level of Soul King and Level Five Soul Engineer at the age of fourteen. However, when he saw Yao Shi, who was stealing the show on the arena, he still sighed and felt ashamed of his inferiority.

Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen covered her mouth and chuckled softly. She never expected that her proud older brother would one day give in.

But seriously, my junior brother is really amazing! (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و

"We concede."

Seeing this, the instructor leading the Steel Armor Academy had no choice but to concede defeat.

Because the five members of the Steel Armor Academy on stage were covered in frost except for their heads, they had lost the ability to move, and it was only a matter of time before they lost.

The referee in the air was stunned when he saw Yao Shi use his domain.

Hearing the Steel Armor Academy teacher admit defeat brought him back to his senses.

"In the second round of the 'Circle and Return' event, the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy wins!"

The moment the result was announced and the one-on-one match began, the entire arena fell silent.

The next second, the entire stadium erupted in a thunderous cheer.

"Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy!"

"Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy!"

Despite the current tense relationship between the Three Kingdoms and the Sun Moon Empire in the Douluo Continent, the crowd cheered upon witnessing such a stunning match.

Just then, someone else shouted, "Ice and Snow Goddess!"

The audience's shouts also changed direction.

"Ice and Snow Goddess!"

"Ice and Snow Goddess!"
