Defeating Feng Xiaotian

He gripped the hilt of the Heavenly Frost Sword with both hands, and an incomparably domineering chill formed around him.

Within that frigid current, there was unexpectedly a trace of dragon might.

Yes, Bing Yekong had drawn upon the power of his second martial soul, the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, to deal with Feng Xiaotian.

Although both the Heavenly Frost Sword and the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul possessed Ultimate Ice now, when it came to control over the ice element, the Ice Dragon King was undoubtedly superior to the Heavenly Frost Sword.

The moment the Ice Dragon King's pressure emerged, Feng Xiaotian immediately felt suppression originating from his bloodline.

Although his Gale Twin-Headed Wolf Martial Soul did not possess dragon blood, it was still a beast martial soul.

As long as it was a beast martial soul, it would be suppressed upon encountering a Dragon King-level bloodline.

Feng Xiaotian's charge toward Bing Yekong stalled for an instant, but he still forced himself onward.

Bing Yekong held his sword in both hands as cold air surged around him. Sword qi swept along the icy wind, faintly taking the form of an ice dragon.

The ice dragon wrapped around Bing Yekong and roared in Feng Xiaotian's direction.

Bing Yekong's soul power plummeted as his first soul skill operated at its limit.

Then, Bing Yekong suddenly drew his sword with his right hand and slashed upward.

As that strike flew forth, the ice dragon also shot toward Feng Xiaotian.

Bing Yekong then collapsed to one knee, using the Heavenly Frost Sword to support himself and keep from falling.

This move was considered one of his self-created soul skills, and it directly drained every last bit of his remaining soul power.

He could no longer control the ice dragon.

The ice dragon roared as it charged toward Feng Xiaotian.

Feng Xiaotian was enveloped in fierce winds, yet he could still sense an enormous threat.

But he had no path of retreat left now.

At his limit, Feng Xiaotian began unleashing his own potential as well.

He used the self-created soul skill he had researched for a long time and only imagined in theory ahead of schedule.

As he flew toward Bing Yekong, he began spinning at high speed.

The Gale Twin Wings behind him turned into blades, and every rotation added more force.

This was not the true Gale Demon Wolf's Thirty-Six Slashes, only a rudimentary form of it.

When Feng Xiaotian reached his fifth slash, he collided head-on with the ice dragon.

The collision between two self-created soul skills erupted in a shower of violent sparks.

In the end, the ice dragon dispersed, while Feng Xiaotian was sent flying backward and slammed heavily onto the training ground.

His martial soul also dissipated, and his body was covered in ice chips and wounds.

"Xiaotian!"

Huo Wushuang was the first to rush over and help Feng Xiaotian up.

After being helped to his feet, Feng Xiaotian looked at the young man opposite him, who remained standing with his sword as support. The jealousy he had once felt was gone, leaving only admiration.

Bing Yekong had proven the gap between them through his strength.

"I lost. I accept my defeat wholeheartedly."

He shook off Huo Wushuang's support and staggered toward Bing Yekong.

Bing Yekong also stood up at that moment, looking at Feng Xiaotian with a smile.

"Brother Xiaotian, you let me win."

Feng Xiaotian gave a bitter smile and shook his head. "Compared to you today, even my Innate Full Soul Power seems like garbage."

He looked at Bing Yekong with sincerity in his eyes. "But I still have to thank you, Yekong. That move of yours just now deepened my understanding of my self-created soul skill. I can practically use it now."

"That was your own achievement. I merely gave you a push."

Bing Yekong had also seen it just now. When Feng Xiaotian faced his ice dragon, he had used a self-created soul skill similar to Gale Demon Wolf's Thirty-Six Slashes, though it was not yet fully developed.

Feng Xiaotian patted Bing Yekong on the shoulder. "From now on, you're my brother, Feng Xiaotian's brother! Whoever dares bully you, I'll be the first to object!"

"Forget it. You can't even beat little Yekong, and you want to protect him?"

Huo Wu's mocking voice was entirely undisguised.

Feng Xiaotian did not get angry. He merely scratched his head and laughed. "So what? Then I'll help Yekong out. That works, right?"

The group left the training hall amid laughter.

After returning to the Shui Family, Bing Yekong eagerly went back to his room.

Feng Xiaotian was far from the only one who had gained tremendously from their battle today.

During today's fight, Bing Yekong had successfully comprehended sword qi.

But that was not all. The ice dragon at the very end was his greatest gain from this battle.

That ice dragon could be said to be a fusion of the powers of his two martial souls.

Although it did not yet qualify as a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, it truly allowed the advantages of both martial souls to be brought into play.

The ice dragon contained the Heavenly Frost Sword's ultimate sword qi, as well as the Ice Dragon King's Dragon King pressure.

Combined with the enhancement of Ultimate Ice, it became that immensely powerful ice dragon.

As for the move's name, Bing Yekong thought for a moment before deciding, "I'll call it Profound Ice Dragon Soar."

He felt that the name was highly fitting.

Moreover, Bing Yekong felt that this Profound Ice Dragon Soar still had room for further development.

The power of one ice dragon was already this great. What about two, three, or even many more?

Besides, both of Bing Yekong's martial souls possessed the Ultimate Ice attribute. If he could develop a self-body Martial Soul Fusion Skill in the future, it would surely become a devastating trump card.

Bing Yekong had a feeling that this Profound Ice Dragon Soar would become the precursor, or perhaps the prototype, of that self-body Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

With that thought, Bing Yekong rose from his bed, intending to head into the backyard to practice Profound Ice Dragon Soar some more.

But at that moment, Bing Yekong heard Shui Yue'er's voice coming from outside the door.

"Big Sister! Hold on, I'll go get Mom!"

Bing Yekong pushed open the door and saw Shui Yue'er rushing anxiously out of Shui Bing'er's room and toward the exit.

"What happened, Sister Yue'er?"

Bing Yekong stopped Shui Yue'er and asked.

"Little Yekong, don't stop me! I'm going to get Mom. Big Sister's martial soul is acting up again. I need to bring Mom here!"

Hearing that, Bing Yekong released her and did not stop Shui Yue'er. Instead, he rushed into Shui Bing'er's room alone.

The instant he pushed open the door, a wave of cold air rushed at his face.

Shui Bing'er had her brows tightly furrowed. Behind her was the faint, flickering phantom of an Ice Phoenix.

The soul power around her was in chaos, and her aura was extremely unstable.

Bing Yekong knew at once what was wrong. She clearly could not control her own martial soul.

This was not difficult to understand. Just as Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul had flaws, Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix Martial Soul likely had some flaws as well.

Her current state was caused by being unable to control the power of her martial soul.

Bing Yekong hurried to Shui Bing'er's side.

Protected by Ultimate Ice, he could not be harmed at all by the ice-element power emitted by Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix Martial Soul.

After giving it some thought, Bing Yekong came up with a solution.

He gritted his teeth and sat cross-legged behind Shui Bing'er.

Then, accompanied by an impassioned dragon roar, Bing Yekong released his martial soul.

No Soul Rings appeared. There was only the majestic figure of the Ice Dragon King.

Yes, Bing Yekong had released his Ice Dragon King Martial Soul.

He was not sure whether Shui Bing'er could realize at this moment that he possessed a second martial soul, but that no longer mattered. Saving her came first.
