This was the ability granted to Dugu Yan by the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon after Dugu Yan Martial Soul Evolution. In Dragon Transformation, Dugu Yan's arms suddenly swelled up, covered with a layer of dark green scales. Streaks of azure light swirled around her body, making her appear extremely majestic.
" Ice and Snow Drifting!"
Snowflakes fell from the sky, countless beautiful snowflakes transforming into deadly weapons as they rained down. The number of these snowflakes was enormous; the Ice Phoenix breathed its power, and the snowflakes drifted towards Dugu Yan.
"You've come at the perfect time."
Dugu Yan unleashed her dragon claw, and a thick black mist rose up, obscuring the entire battlefield. The black mist seemed capable of corroding everything, churning and swirling.
Countless snowflakes crashed against the black mist, instantly melting into specks of frost and transforming into glistening droplets of water vapor. The black mist, however, continued to spread, expanding outwards until it disappeared into the surrounding area.
Dugu Yan took a step forward, her figure blurred, and she vanished into thin air. The next moment, she appeared directly in front of the Ice Phoenix. Dugu Yan's figure was so small in front of the seven-meter-tall Ice Phoenix, but the aura emanating from her was in no way weaker than that of the phoenix. She raised her dragon claw and smashed it directly at the Ice Phoenix.
"Bang--"
A deafening roar seemed to shake the entire castle. Dugu Yan was forced back and fell to the ground, but the Ice Phoenix also glided several meters in the air. The Ice Phoenix flapped its wings to stabilize itself, but several wisps of black mist appeared on its originally ice-blue body. It was clear that the poison from Dugu Yan's dragon claws had invaded the Ice Phoenix's body during the collision.
Suddenly, the Ice Phoenix's body flashed, using its speed advantage to close the distance. With a flap of its ice-blue wings, it let out a low roar, and clumps of Ice Ball rained down from the sky, falling towards Dugu Yan like a meteor shower.
Dugu Yan smiled slightly, and her dragon claws flashed with green light once more as she charged towards the Ice Ball.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!" Five loud explosions echoed through the sky. Five enormous Ice Ball exploded between Dugu Yan's claws, but they did not cause her any harm.
Dugu Yan moved with lightning speed, pouncing on the Ice Phoenix once more, her dragon claws flashing with dazzling light as she slashed out.
This time, the Ice Phoenix didn't fight head-on. Its icy blue flames instantly ignited, turning into sparks that scattered across the sky. The Ice Phoenix took to the air again, creating distance between itself and Dugu Yan. While in the air, the Ice Phoenix once again spewed out snowflakes.
The Ice Phoenix's strength lies in ranged attacks, offering no advantage in close combat. Seeing this, Dugu Yan took to the air again, releasing black mist to devour the snowflakes before charging towards the Ice Phoenix. No matter how fast the Ice Phoenix was, it couldn't dodge Dugu Yan's body. Moreover, the poisonous mist on her body had already clung to the Ice Phoenix, significantly slowing it down. Meanwhile, Dugu Yan's dragon claws turned pitch black, slashing fiercely at the Ice Phoenix's body.
The Ice Phoenix let out a mournful cry, its body shattering instantly, revealing Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu. The two women were pale-faced, struggling to keep themselves from collapsing, especially Shui Bing'er, whose clothes were torn, revealing glimpses of her skin—marks left by Dugu Yan's dragon claws.
"Wow, battle-damaged white stockings, Sister Yanyan really understands me." Jun Yi stared at Shui Bing'er's torn clothes and ripped white stockings and cried out in his heart.
Shui Bing'er's chest heaved violently, and her breathing became noticeably heavy, clearly due to the attack she had suffered from Dugu Yan, which had disrupted her blood and qi, and her complexion had also become extremely pale.
"We lost!" Shui Bing'er took a deep breath and said in a low voice.
Dugu Yan withdrew her poisonous mist and deactivated her Dragon Transformation form, smiling slightly, "You flatter me."
Shui Bing'er shook her head and said with a wry smile, "It's because I'm not strong enough."
Dugu Yan raised her hand and reabsorbed the toxins from Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's bodies. Jun Yi raised his hand and teleported the other unconscious students to Dugu Yan's side so she could detoxify them. Then, Jun Yi took out a robe from his Soul Tool Ring and draped it over Shui Bing'er's shoulders, saying, " Bing'er Sister Bing'er, be careful not to catch a cold."
Shui Bing'er's face flushed slightly, and she nodded. When she looked up at Jun Yi Jun Yi eyes were fixed on her legs, her face turned even redder, but she didn't say anything more.
After watching for a few seconds, Jun Yi felt it was about time, so he turned to the referee below the ring and said, "Referee, we won."
The referee nodded slightly upon seeing this, stepped onto the stage, and announced, "I hereby declare the champion of this academy exchange team competition to be Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"
After the referee made the announcement, cheers erupted from the audience, especially from the Soul Master of some smaller academies, who were extremely excited. After all, in their eyes, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy represented their Heaven Dou Empire, and compared to other academies, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy held a higher status in their hearts.
Of course, many viewers also felt sorry for the Skywater Academy's victory. In their opinion, if it weren't for the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Skywater Academy would have had a much higher chance of winning. The giant Ice Phoenix had given them a great shock and left a far greater impression than other academies.
"Now, please welcome His Highness the Your Highness Qinghe and Sect Master Ning to present the award to the champion," the referee announced loudly.
"Wow!" The whole audience cheered enthusiastically, and applause Lei Dong.
Today, Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi their finest attire. The two walked onto the arena together, each taking out a brocade box they had prepared beforehand.
Xue Qinghe handed over the brocade box and said calmly, "Congratulations on your victory. As the host, our royal family naturally wants to present a generous gift to all the contestants as encouragement. This is a reward you deserve."
Ning Fengzhi smiled and handed the brocade box to Jun Yi, "Everyone, you did very well! I'm not at all surprised that our Heaven Dou Royal Academy was able to win the championship. Congratulations to you all."
Jun Yi then reached out and took the brocade box, opening it to reveal the ninety-year- Man Faced Demon Spider Torso Bone that Ning Rongrong had given him, along with eight rings. The rings were engraved with the words "team championship," and one of them was different from the others. While the other seven rings were inlaid with gemstones, this one was made of metal. The inside of the ring had intricate patterns, making it look extremely complex.
Xue Qinghe smiled and said, "These rings are all Soul Tool, containing your champion rewards. Please accept them."
"Thank you, Your Highness Qinghe, and thank you Sect Master Ning."
"Thank you so much, Brother Xue. Thank you so much, Uncle."
The group thanked Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi. Xue Qinghe smiled slightly, then slowly turned around, took out a brocade box, and handed it to Shui Bing'er, the captain of the Skywater Academy.
"This is your runner-up prize. Thank you for presenting such a wonderful match."
"Thank you, Your Highness Qinghe." After Shui Bing'er accepted the brocade box, the seven students bowed to Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi.
Xue Qinghe nodded slightly and said to everyone present, "This exchange competition is just a small one. I hope everyone can cultivate diligently and strive for good results in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament two and a half years later, bringing glory to the Empire."
