Defeating Feng Xiaotian

He gripped the hilt of the Tianshuang Sword with both hands, and an incomparably domineering icy current formed around him.

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

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

Although both the Tianshuang Sword and the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul possessed Ultimate Ice, the Ice Dragon King undoubtedly surpassed the Tianshuang Sword in its control over the ice element.

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

Though 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 the bloodline of a Dragon King.

Feng Xiaotian's charge toward Bing Yekong stalled for an instant, yet he continued to press forward.

Bing Yekong held his sword in both hands as cold air surged around him. Sword energy swept up the freezing wind and vaguely transformed into 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 full force.

Then, Bing Yekong abruptly 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 from exhaustion, supporting himself with the Tianshuang Sword in one hand to keep from falling.

This move counted as his Self-Created Soul Skill, and it directly drained all of his remaining Soul Power.

He could no longer control the ice dragon.

The ice dragon roared as it charged at Feng Xiaotian.

Feng Xiaotian was wrapped in violent winds, yet he could still sense an immense threat.

But he no longer had any path of retreat.

Pushed to his limit, Feng Xiaotian began unleashing his own potential.

He used the Self-Created Soul Skill he had studied for so long and only imagined in theory ahead of schedule.

While flying toward Bing Yekong, he began spinning at high speed.

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

This was not the true Gale Demon Wolf's Thirty-Six Slashes, merely a prototype.

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

The collision of two Self-Created Soul Skills erupted in a violent shower of sparks.

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

His Martial Soul also broke apart, and his entire body was covered in ice shards and wounds.

"Xiaotian!"

Huo Wushuang rushed over first and helped Feng Xiaotian up.

After being helped to his feet, Feng Xiaotian looked at the youth across from him, who was still standing with his sword holding him up. All of his former jealousy had vanished, leaving behind only admiration.

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

"I lost. I accept my defeat wholeheartedly."

He broke free from Huo Wushuang and staggered toward Bing Yekong.

Bing Yekong also stood up at that moment and looked at Feng Xiaotian with a smile.

"Brother Xiaotian, thanks for going easy on me."

Feng Xiaotian shook his head with a bitter smile. "Compared to you today, even my Innate Full Soul Power feels useless."

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'm even close to being able to use it now."

"That was your own achievement. I merely gave you a little 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. It just was not fully developed yet.

Feng Xiaotian patted Bing Yekong on the shoulder. "From today onward, you're my brother, Bing Yekong! If anyone dares bully you, I'll be the first to refuse!"

"Forget it. You can't even beat little Yekong, and you're talking about protecting him?"

Huo Wu's mocking voice was utterly undisguised.

Feng Xiaotian did not get angry. He merely scratched his head and laughed. "So what? Then I can at least lend Yekong a hand, 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 not the only one who had gained greatly from today's battle.

During the fight, Bing Yekong had successfully comprehended sword energy.

But that was not all. The ice dragon at the final moment 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.

Though it did not yet qualify as a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, it could indeed bring out the advantages of both Martial Souls.

The ice dragon contained the Tianshuang Sword's ultimate sword energy, along with the Ice Dragon King's Dragon King pressure.

With the enhancement of Ultimate Ice, it became this immensely powerful ice dragon.

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

He felt that the name suited it perfectly.

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

The power of one ice dragon was already this great. What if there were 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 Martial Soul Fusion Skill in the future, it would surely become a devastating trump card.

Bing Yekong had a feeling that Profound Ice Dragon Soar would be the predecessor, or perhaps the prototype, of that self Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Thinking this, Bing Yekong rose from the bed, intending to head to the backyard and practice Profound Ice Dragon Soar some more.

Just then, Bing Yekong heard Shui Yue'er's voice from outside the door.

"Sis! Hang on, I'll go get Mom!"

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

"What happened, Sister Yue'er?"

Bing Yekong stopped Shui Yue'er and asked.

"Little Yekong, don't stop me. I need to get Mom. Sis's Martial Soul is acting up again, so I have to bring Mom here!"

Upon hearing this, Bing Yekong released her. Rather than stopping Shui Yue'er, he rushed into Shui Bing'er's room alone.

The moment he pushed open the door, a wave of cold air struck him head-on.

Shui Bing'er's brows were 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 what was wrong at a glance. She was clearly unable to control her own Martial Soul.

This was not hard 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 the result of being unable to control her Martial Soul's power.

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

With Ultimate Ice protecting his body, the ice-element power emitted by Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix Martial Soul could not harm him at all.

After a brief moment of thought, Bing Yekong came up with a solution.

Gritting his teeth, he 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 solemn 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 tell at this moment that he possessed a second Martial Soul, but that no longer mattered. Saving her came first.
