At the center of the Martial Arts Arena, the second match had already begun.
Shui Bing'er stood at the front of her team, her long, ice-blue hair fluttering in the wind, her bearing cool and ethereal.
Huyan Li stood opposite her, golden light blazing all over him, like a moving hill.
Their eyes met, and cold air seemed to clash with golden light.
At the referee's command, the match began.
Shui Bing'er struck first. Her third soul ring lit up, and endless cold poured from her body, instantly forming a massive ice wall in the center of the platform.
Huyan Li sneered, strode forward, and slammed a fist into the ice wall.
Boom-!!!
Cracks appeared in the ice wall, but it did not shatter.
Huyan Li frowned and punched again.
The cracks widened.
But just then, Shui Bing'er's second soul ring lit up.
A smooth layer of ice instantly formed over the platform.
Huyan Li stepped onto it, swayed, and nearly fell.
He had never been fast, and on the ice, he could barely take a single step.
"Damn it!" he cursed.
Shui Bing'er seized the opening.
A massive Ice Phoenix formed behind her, spread its wings, and swooped toward Huyan Li.
Huyan Li tried to dodge, only to discover that his feet had frozen at some point without his noticing.
He could not move at all.
The ice was too slippery.
He could only take it head-on.
Even if he could withstand one wave for the moment.
The second and third waves of attacks were more than he could withstand.
By the fourth wave, the Ice Phoenix slammed into him, instantly freezing him into an ice sculpture.
Deafening cheers erupted throughout the arena!
"Shui Bing'er won! She froze Huyan Li!"
"She's so strong! That's a true Control System fighter!"
