On the Soul Fighting Platform.
Tang San and Qian Renyue clashed, their eyes meeting as the Eight Spider Lances on his back struck the Silver Frost Sword in her hand. Amid the ringing flashes of silver, Tang San planted several Blue Silver Grass seeds in the ground. He did not want to fight Qian Renyue with everything he had just yet, but she showed not a shred of mercy. Left with no other choice, he could only strike back. He absolutely could not keep letting himself be worn down like this!
Qian Renyue's Fusion Soul Skill could only last three minutes. With her current Soul Power, she could not possibly unleash Frost One Sword again-unless she truly intended to stake her life on it.
In the stands, Qin Ming was beside himself with worry. His brows were tightly furrowed; he was genuinely afraid Qian Renyue would disregard his instructions.
"That child still hasn't used her third Soul Skill..."
Only now did Yu Xiaogang realize this serious problem.
Qian Renyue had never displayed her third Soul Skill in public. Even during the team battle, she had not used it. Could it be...
"This is bad!"
As though something had occurred to him, Yu Xiaogang's pupils trembled slightly. "Little San!"
Sure enough, Qian Renyue's third ring began to shine. Her Martial Soul, the Nine-Petal Immortal Lotus, floated into the air and radiated an intense red light!
"What is that?!"
Tang San was equally shocked at the sight!
The enormous lotus blossomed, and Qian Renyue plucked off a petal. The Ice Phoenix Wings behind her released a suddenly chilling aura, scattering specks of pale-blue starlight. In mere moments, the looming image of a gigantic blue holy sword appeared behind her, its might shaking the entire arena!
"Xian'er..."
When the Nine-Petal Immortal Lotus Martial Soul fully bloomed, everyone in the stands was awed by the sight. Among them, a man in black robes murmured to himself, a shimmering light in his eyes. As though something had come to mind, a multitude of complicated emotions suddenly filled that shimmering gaze. His fists tightened slightly, and he clenched his back teeth. In the end, those tangled emotions turned into hatred...
"This is..."
Flender's pupils abruptly contracted. How could a Soul Master with a plant-type Martial Soul possess a Soul Skill like this?!
Frost spread as hurricane after hurricane swept around Qian Renyue. Her Ice Phoenix Wings beat the air with a fluttering rush, and ice covered the entire Soul Fighting Platform. Snow filled the sky. The wind stung Tang San's cheeks, and snow gathered on his eyelashes. His eyes shifted slightly as he stared, lost in thought, at Qian Renyue unleashing her Soul Skill in midair.
Xiao Yue, just what have you been through?
A level-ten support-type Soul Master had become a level-thirty-five Soul Elder in only a few months, and even her Martial Soul had undergone changes. Just what was going on?
"Third Soul Skill, Ice-Blue Holy Sword!"
A gigantic sword slashed down. Light blazed before Tang San's eyes, and he instinctively raised his Eight Spider Lances to block it. Clang-
An immensely powerful icy aura invaded Tang San's body, making him shudder slightly. Even with the protection of his Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone, the cold still penetrated his internal organs. The falling Ice-Blue Holy Sword coated the entire Soul Fighting Platform in frost. Tang San took the attack head-on, felt his chest tighten, and staggered back several meters with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. The next instant, he felt the skin all over his body turn almost rigid. He could not move at all!
Meanwhile, in the stands.
"What is this?!"
Yu Xiaogang excitedly grabbed the railing, his eyes trembling slightly. "This is Ultimate Ice! How could she have Ultimate Ice? How could a super-support-type Soul Master possess Ultimate Ice!"
He repeated "Ultimate Ice" three times, his excitement giving way to bewilderment. Beside him, Flender frowned at his words and asked, "Ultimate Ice? Xiaogang, are you saying this girl's ice attribute isn't an ordinary ice attribute?"
Ultimate Ice feared no fire-attribute attack. This was why Ma Hongjun had never been able to melt the frost Qian Renyue released with his Phoenix Flame.
Yu Xiaogang had never imagined that Qian Renyue's ice attribute would actually be Ultimate Ice. His gaze burned with fervor as he looked at her. At that moment, he actually hoped Qian Renyue was the Tang Yue from back then. Tang Yue, after all, belonged to their Shrek Academy!
"..."
Flender found his answer in Yu Xiaogang's excited expression. But back then, they had looked down on Tang Yue's insufficient talent and refused to let her enter Shrek. Now that she had become powerful, wasn't thinking this way a little... shameless?
Although that was what he thought, Flender did not say it aloud. He, too, hoped Qian Renyue was Tang Yue, a student of their academy. But then again, a hope was a hope, nothing more than a thought. In reality, this little girl was no longer the Tang Yue of old. Why lump the two together?
The VIP section.
"This child really is an eye-opener."
Ning Fengzhi spoke with a cheerful smile.
He instinctively glanced at Chen Xin behind him. This time, Chen Xin wore a delighted smile-a rare sight for him in public. It seemed he had certainly chosen the right young disciple.
Qian Renyue's strength had amazed everyone, and Ning Fengzhi also began thinking of recruiting her. "Uncle Jian, do you know this child's background?"
He voiced the question.
"Yes." Chen Xin nodded and answered, "She's from Spirit Hall."
Spirit Hall?
"..."
Ning Fengzhi parted his lips slightly and looked at Qian Renyue again.
This child was actually from Spirit Hall?
No chance. There was no chance now.
Ning Fengzhi shook his head regretfully. Then a thought flashed through his mind, as though he had suddenly remembered something. He turned to Chen Xin again. "Uncle Jian, did you secretly come to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena with Uncle Gu?"
"..."
Why bring up that sore subject out of nowhere?
Chen Xin remained silent, his gaze wandering uncertainly. It was obvious at a glance that he was searching for an excuse to fob him off.
"I'm not a fool, Uncle Jian."
After so many years with Chen Xin, how could Ning Fengzhi not know his temperament? Even a single glance was enough for him to tell what Chen Xin was thinking.
Seeing that he truly could not hide it anymore, Chen Xin sighed softly and had no choice but to confess everything honestly.
"..."
After hearing him out, Ning Fengzhi looked somewhat angry, but ultimately said nothing. He shook his head. He had known nothing good would come of those two going out together.
On the Soul Fighting Platform, Tang San could no longer move. Once the announcer, Taotao, confirmed that he was unable to fight, he immediately declared the Imperial Fighting Team victorious!
"WOOO!"
"Imperial Fighting Team! Imperial Fighting Team!"
The spectators' blood boiled with excitement as they held their illuminated signs high. Whether they had lost their bets or won them, smiles filled their faces.
Even losing money was worth it to witness a match like this!
With the match over, most of the spectators went to the betting area to collect their Gold Soul Coins. Only a small number remained to wait for the next match.
The platform's protective barrier was removed. After landing, Qian Renyue used the Magic Treasure in her hand to melt the frost on the ground.
Qin Ming immediately sent the healing-type Soul Masters he had prepared to treat Dugu Yan and the others. He also took the opportunity to check Qian Renyue for injuries.
As Qin Ming inspected her from left to right and top to bottom, Qian Renyue really wanted to tell him that she was fine. The one who was actually in trouble should have been Tang San, who was still frozen in place and had yet to recover.
Glancing at Tang San out of the corner of her eye, Qian Renyue said nothing. She pressed her lips together, only to hear sudden applause beside her, followed by a voice as warm and smooth as jade-
"Truly a heaven-gifted talent. You've made me see you in a whole new light!"
