A Crushing Defeat from Start to Finish!

Dead silence.

Utter silence.

The entire Skywater Academy training ground was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop.

All the trainees present stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with utter disbelief, their throats bobbing but unable to utter a sound.

That's the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's martial souls— Ice and Snow Drifting!

That's their trump card!

Looking across all the Five Elements Academy, almost no one of the same level dares to confront them head-on!

Let alone a level 64 Soul Emperor, even a level 70 Soul Saint would not be able to escape unscathed if faced head-on.

But Ning Wen, from head to toe, did not retreat a single step or move an inch.

He only used his second Soul Skill throughout the entire process, and managed to withstand the fatal blow of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, "Ice and Snow Drifting"!

Not only was he completely unharmed, but he also used a peculiar power to shatter the Martial Soul Fusion Skill in reverse, severely injuring the two sisters!

This overwhelming difference in strength completely shattered the understanding of all the Tianshui students.

In the arena, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er slumped on the cold bluestone ground, their Soul Power chaotic and scattered, their blood churning uncontrollably.

Blood trickled from the corners of their pale lips. Their once vibrant and warm soul light was now dim and dull. Their meridians throbbed with pain, and they were unable to mobilize any Soul Power for the time being.

The two sisters raised their heads, staring intently at the tall, aloof figure of the young man in front of them, their eyes filled with shock, resentment, and a deep sense of powerlessness.

Their most prized and repeatedly victorious Martial Soul Fusion Skill was as fragile as paper in front of Ning Wen.

"How could this be...?"

Shui Yue'er's voice was hoarse and weak, her eyes filled with confusion. "Our Ice and Snow Drifting... was actually broken head-on..."

Shui Bing'er clenched her fists tightly, her fingertips turning white, her chest heaving violently.

She was exceptionally talented and rose to fame at a young age, becoming the strongest among the younger generation of the Skywater Academy. None of her peers had ever experienced such a setback.

She originally thought that by using her Martial Soul Fusion Skill, even if she couldn't defeat Ning Wen, she could definitely force him to use his true strength.

But the result was a one-sided crushing defeat.

The opponent didn't even really use their true killing moves or Soul Skill!

Throughout the entire process, he only used his second Soul Skill to protect himself!

"The gap... is actually this big." Shui Bing'er murmured softly, her heart filled with bitterness.

On the stands, several teachers from the Skywater Academy had already stood up, their expressions extremely solemn, their eyes fixed on Ning Wen in the arena.

The previously indifferent, spectator's gaze had now turned into deep horror.

"With the cultivation of Soul Emperor, he withstood a complete Martial Soul Fusion Skill without moving an inch!"

"What kind of Martial Soul is this? Its defensive power is incredible!"

"The most terrifying thing is that final recoil force!"

"It precisely struck the Soul Power bond of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, forcefully severing Bing'er and the others' Martial Soul Resonance."

"Their control over fighter jets and their power is terrifying!"

The teachers and students gasped in astonishment, their hearts filled with awe.

They finally understood why Ning Wen had remained so calm and composed throughout.

So what if it's one against ten!

They didn't even take it seriously.

In the center of the training ground.

The wind and snow completely dissipated, and the cold mist slowly receded.

The crimson light emanating from Ning Wen's body slowly subsided, returning to calm.

His clothes were neat, his hair was in perfect condition, and his aura was as calm as ever. It was as if the Ice and Snow Storm that had just swept everything had never existed.

[The Martial Soul Fusion Skill is truly ingenious; the two Martial Soul complement and resonate with each other, resulting in extremely high utilization of Soul Power.]

[Unfortunately, his foundation was too weak, and his Soul Power level was insufficient. No matter how exquisite his techniques, they couldn't bridge the gap in raw strength.]

Ning Wen calmly looked at the two sisters lying disheveled on the ground not far away, and said in a flat tone, "It's over."

Three simple words echoed through the deathly silent training ground.

Upon hearing this, all the trainees instantly snapped back to reality, their hearts filled with overwhelming shock.

Throughout the entire duel, Ning Wen completely dominated.

The full-force Martial Soul Fusion Skill unleashed by the Tianshui Twins was utterly ineffective against him!

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, enduring the excruciating pain in her body, and slowly stood up, supporting herself on the ground. Shui Yue'er also gritted her teeth and barely managed to stand up.

The two sisters exchanged a glance, both seeing admiration in each other's eyes.

If you're not as skilled as others, there's nothing more to say.

"We... lost."

Shui Bing'er lowered her head slightly, her voice tinged with weariness, yet she readily admitted defeat.

There were no resentful explanations, no stubborn resistance.

Faced with an absolute disparity in strength, all pride and confidence vanish completely.

Ning Wen nodded slightly, his expression calm.

For him, it was just an ordinary sparring match.

But to the people of Tianshui, this nonchalant attitude only inspired awe.

Is there anything more to say?

Ning Wen looked at Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Xue Wu and the others.

Ning Rongrong's delicate face was filled with shock, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ning Wen.

Although she had long known that Ning Wen incredibly strong, she was still shocked to see him withstand Martial Soul Fusion Skill with just his second Soul Skill.

This guy is incredibly strong!

Dugu Yan's gaze was equally solemn, her snake-like pupils slightly contracting.

Beside them, Xue Wu and the others shook their heads with wry smiles.

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er have already been defeated, and the remaining students of the Skywater Academy are feeling apprehensive.

Everyone witnessed the power of the Ice Phoenix just now. Even Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's full-force Martial Soul Fusion Skill was easily defeated. Even if the rest of them attacked together, what chance did they have of winning?

"Ning Wen, how did you cultivate? You're so powerful!"

Shui Yue'er got up from the ground, couldn't help but take two steps forward, and looked at Ning Wen with a face full of curiosity and disbelief, and asked.

Upon hearing this, many students from Tianshui looked over with curiosity.

With just the second Soul Skill, he could easily withstand this Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

This level of strength is truly unbelievable.

"Just normal cultivation like this," Ning Wen said matter-of-factly.

This Seat cultivation speed is already very slow!

[If one were to unleash their full potential and cultivate without restraint, the mere Soul Emperor realm could be surpassed in the blink of an eye.]

[However, currently limited by this mortal body, I have to slow down and hone my physical body and Soul Power foundation.]

[These kids haven't even truly grasped the basics of cultivation, so naturally they can't understand.]

"You call this normal?" Xue Wu retorted, somewhat speechless.

"Spiritual practice is about enlightenment, not rote memorization. Blindly burying oneself in arduous practice is ultimately putting the cart before the horse."

Ning Wen smiled faintly, his gaze sweeping over all the Tianshui students present. His tone was calm, carrying a hint of the composure of someone who had been through it all.

Most people are trapped by realms and Soul Ring, obsessed with external power, but neglecting the source of power.

[Their Ice and Snow Drifting the air, their moves were beautiful, and their resonance was exquisite, but their Soul Power couldn't keep up, making it like a magnificent pavilion built on quicksand.]
