A semi-transparent ice shield made of cold air gradually took shape.
As Jun Yi waved his arm, the ice shield swelled in the wind, expanding to a size of over ten feet in the blink of an eye, blocking the rain of ice elemental arrows. All the ice spikes were embedded in the Ice Dragon Barrier.
Immediately afterwards, Jun Yi thrust out with one palm, and the Ice Dragon Barrier began to collapse and disintegrate at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Bang"
The ice wall shattered, turning into tiny fragments that fell onto the arena. " Bing'er Bing'er's move was really impressive."
Jun Yi patted the ice shards off his clothes.
Shui Bing'er frowned slightly and said, "I didn't expect your control over ice to be so profound. Was that your Soul Skill just now?"
"That move just now wasn't my Soul Skill; it was merely a barrier I created using ice elements. Ice can transform anything; it's up to you how you use it."
Jun Yi explained to Shui Bing'er that ice is highly malleable. As long as one can master the special application and techniques of ice elements, it is easy to create one's own Soul Skill. The ice shield just now was created by Jun Yi using this principle.
Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er Satori. So that's how it is. No wonder she's so skilled at using ice elements.
"In that case, I'll get serious."
Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, placed her hands together in front of her chest, and her body radiated a dazzling silver light, while her purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring lit up.
Behind her, the Ice Phoenix raised its head and let out a loud cry. The Ice Phoenix suddenly opened its eyes, and two beams of ice-blue light shot out from its eye sockets. Then, a strong repulsive force emanated from Shui Bing'er's body and rushed towards Jun Yi.
"Third Soul Skill: Repelling Ice Ring "
Shui Bing'er spoke each word clearly and melodiously, her voice possessing a strange magic that made people believe her.
A pale blue ripple expanded from Shui Bing'er's body, instantly enveloping Jun Yi. Jun Yi Jun Yi felt a gentle force coming from his body, and then his body froze on the spot, as if some strange force was pulling at his body.
Immediately afterwards, Shui Bing'er released her first Soul Skill again. Ice elements flowed over her body, and countless wisps of cold air extended from Shui Bing'er's ankles, Entanglement the Ice Phoenix. Shui Bing'er stood suspended in the air, one jade hand outstretched, and the Ice Phoenix circled and cried out in mid-air.
"First Soul Skill, Ice Seal."
As Shui Bing'er's voice fell, icy frost descended from the sky, carrying terrifying power as it pressed down on Jun Yi, freezing everything in its path.
Jun Yi did not resist, letting the countless icy energies pass through his body and freeze him, he still stood quietly in place.
"It's over, Jun Yi lost."
Huo Wu, who was watching the Huo Wu from below the arena, slowly commented. She knew how powerful Shui Bing'er's first Soul Skill was. As long as the cold air entered the body, the whole person would be Ice Seal from the inside out and unable to move. Jun Yi was in this situation now.
"Huh..." Shui Bing'er frowned slightly, "What's going on? I feel like something's not right?"
Although Shui Bing'er was puzzled, she continued to unleash her ice spikes at Jun Yi.
At this moment, Jun Yi Jun Yi. Suddenly, countless ice element chains appeared around him, shattering the flying ice spikes. Then, the ice element chains grew wildly, instantly binding Shui Bing'er tightly.
However, the way the chains were used to bind her was rather strange. Shui Bing'er 'Shui Bing'er current appearance was somewhat like that of a heroine in an action movie, firmly fixing her to the ground.
"What's going on? What kind of Soul Skill is this?"
Shui Bing'er exclaimed in surprise. She tried to break free, but to no avail.
"How erotic."
Jun Yi watched Shui Bing'er try to break free of her restraints and thought to himself.
However, he didn't just admire the scenery; with a wave of his right hand, all the chains vanished.
Jun Yi smiled slightly, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Shui Bing'er, and said, "You flatter me, Bing'er."
"Uh-huh."
Shui Bing'er lowered her head, her slightly flushed cheeks making people chuckle. Jun Yi couldn't help but secretly praise her, thinking, "No wonder she's the captain of the Skywater Academy, she's really good-looking!"
"I didn't expect you to have such good control over ice. I admit defeat wholeheartedly," Shui Bing'er said.
"Not at all, it was just a coincidence," Jun Yi said modestly.
The sparring match ended with Jun Yi's victory, which surprised the students from the other academies. No one expected that Jun Yi would win in the end, and so easily at that. From beginning to end, Jun Yi faced Shui Bing'er's attacks with a relaxed and leisurely attitude, which was what shocked everyone else.
Huo Wu from Huo Wu Blazing Fire Academy, in particular, couldn't believe her eyes. She knew Shui Bing'er's strength; the two had fought several times before, with each winning and losing, their strengths being roughly equal. Yet today, Shui Bing'er had been defeated in her sparring match with Jun Yi, and the difference in skill was so vast.
This was somewhat unacceptable to Huo Wu, but she had no choice but to accept it. Huo Wu glanced around and shook her head bitterly. Within their Blazing Fire Academy, there was no one who could defeat Shui Bing'er so easily, even if she had broken through to level 39.
"How can Jun Yi be so strong?"
Huo Wu murmured, recalling how she had once boasted at the Blazing Fire Academy that she would defeat Jun Yi in the freshman competition, proving to everyone that the rumors were nothing but a joke.
At this moment, Jun Yi's displayed strength made her realize that her hopes were extremely slim. Not only Huo Wu, but the other Blazing Fire students were also amazed, as were the students from the other two academies.
" Yanyan, when did Jun Yi learn to control ice? I've never seen him use it before?" Ye Lingling asked Dugu Yan curiously.
Dugu Yan slowly said, "It was during the few days he stayed in my grandfather's herb garden that he took a herb and gained the ability to control ice."
"I see."
After listening to Dugu Yan's explanation, Ye Lingling nodded. A few days ago, Dugu Yan had also given her a very magical herb from her grandfather's herb garden. After taking it, her Soul Power increased by four levels, reaching level 39.
"I'll let you in on a little secret: the herb you took is actually related to Jun Yi. You could say that if it weren't for Jun Yi, I wouldn't have been able to give you that herb."
Dugu Yan leaned close to Ye Lingling's ear and whispered something to her.
"Really?"
"Real."
After saying that, Dugu Yan began to tell Ye Lingling about the amazing things she experienced at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
On the other side, Jun Yi and Shui Bing'er walked off the stage together and returned to the audience seats where Skywater Academy was located.
As soon as Jun Yi sat down, the other students were staring at him intently...
