Dai Huabin looked at his frozen arm, his face ashen. He wrenched it violently, shattering the ice crystals on his arm with a burst of soul power, then retreated several steps and stared fixedly at Huo Yuhao.
Damn it, how could she have become so much stronger? This was impossible! It had to be fake.
He still did not believe Huo Yuhao could be his match. He abruptly released his martial soul, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger.
An enormous, snow-white tiger with double pupils in each eye appeared behind him, radiating a ferocious aura.
Three soul rings, two yellow and one purple, rose from beneath his feet, gleaming dazzlingly in the sunlight.
"Huo Yuhao, you're courting death!" Dai Huabin growled. As his soul power erupted, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger let out a deafening roar and lunged at Huo Yuhao.
He was brimming with confidence. A soul master ranked in the teens could never withstand his full-powered strike, even if she had a few strange tricks.
His first soul ring lit up. White Tiger Fierce Light Wave! A pillar of white light shot from the Evil-Eyed White Tiger's mouth, hurtling straight toward Huo Yuhao with fierce might.
Yet Huo Yuhao remained where she stood, expressionless. She slowly raised her hand, and a terrifying chill erupted from within her.
She released her Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion martial soul! The phantom of an enormous, ice-blue scorpion appeared behind her, radiating an aura of extreme cold. Her tail arched high, as though she could freeze everything.
Most shocking of all was the soul ring rising from beneath her feet-a blood-red soul ring that radiated an eerie glow and the aura of an Ancient Ferocious Beast.
A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring? Everyone stared, dumbfounded, at the blood-red soul ring beneath Huo Yuhao's feet, unable to believe their eyes. Was this some kind of joke?
How could a soul master ranked in the teens possibly possess a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring? That palpable aura made them afraid to look directly at her, as though they were facing not a young girl, but an Ancient Ferocious Beast.
The chill spread, and even the surrounding air seemed to freeze. Even the sunlight grew cold.
Many teachers within the academy also sensed this ferocious aura, and their expressions changed drastically. The aura of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? How was that possible?
How could the aura of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast appear inside Shrek Academy? Several teachers even rushed straight toward its source.
Dai Huabin froze as well. As he looked at the blood-red soul ring beneath Huo Yuhao's feet, a flicker of fear crossed his eyes. But he quickly gritted his teeth, forcing himself not to shrink back:
"Fake! It has to be fake! You're a soul master ranked in the teens! How could you possibly have a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!"
He roared, and his second soul ring lit up. White Tiger Sky-Splitting Claw! The Evil-Eyed White Tiger's sharp claws instantly enlarged and slashed viciously down at Huo Yuhao with the power to tear everything apart.
The fierce wind from those claws seemed capable of tearing even the air apart. The surrounding students retreated, afraid of being caught in the attack.
Huo Yuhao remained expressionless. With a wave of her hand, a streak of ice-blue light shot out, forming an ice shield in front of her.
The White Tiger Sky-Splitting Claw slammed into the ice shield with a piercing cracking sound. Cracks spread across the shield, but in the end, it still blocked the blow.
Dai Huabin's pupils contracted. He had not expected his second soul skill to be blocked so easily.
Huo Yuhao looked at him with a trace of indifference in her eyes. She spoke softly, her voice as cold as frost. "That's it?"
Dai Huabin's face flushed red, fury burning within him. He abruptly activated his third soul ring. The purple soul ring lit up. White Tiger Vajra Transformation!
The Evil-Eyed White Tiger's body instantly swelled, its muscles bulging and its aura surging. Dai Huabin's entire body was shrouded in golden light, as though a real white tiger had descended.
He roared and lunged at Huo Yuhao, throwing a punch with mountain-like force.
Huo Yuhao still stood in place, utterly motionless. She raised her hand, and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's tail thrust out with the power of extreme cold, meeting Dai Huabin's fist head-on.
The collision of ice and fire produced a deep, thunderous boom. Dai Huabin felt a bone-piercing chill spread up from his fist, freezing his entire arm until it lost all feeling.
He tried to retreat, only to discover that a layer of ice crystals had already frozen his legs in place, leaving him unable to move.
Huo Yuhao looked at him, her gaze as indifferent as frost. "Didn't you just say you'd deal with me using one finger?"
She waved her hand, sending out a streak of ice-blue light that instantly froze Dai Huabin, tiger and all, into an ice sculpture.
The difference between them was clear at once. Everyone around them stared in stunned disbelief. An instant defeat? She had defeated him just like that? They looked at Huo Yuhao as though they were looking at a monster.
She stood there, radiating an icy chill, like an inviolable goddess of frost.
