"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Listening to the continuous roar and the tremors of the platform beneath his feet, Salas looked at Xue Ye with amusement.
"Your Majesty, it seems we'll have to change the venue again. I wonder if the Empire has made any preparations in this regard?"
"No need for Bishop Salas to trouble himself with that!"
Xue Ye replied indifferently, though inwardly he wanted to curse.
What's going on with this generation of junior Soul Master?
Is this still a battle at the Soul King level?
Even Titled Douluo wouldn't be this good!
Originally, because Yu Xiaogang had spread many advanced cultivation methods, which raised the cultivation level of this generation of junior Soul Master by a grade, he specially ordered people to reinforce the competition venue, making it capable of supporting battles at the Spirit Emperor level.
But these younger generation members are all incredibly powerful. We won't even mention the Shrek Team refining large quantities of high-quality Soul Bone and celestial-grade elixirs, but what on earth are the Blazing Fire Team and Skywater Team doing?
One event directly used the Magma Domain to guide an underground magma eruption that destroyed the first competition venue. Now, this one has even triggered a cold wave and ice attack. It seems that the competition venue in Snow Eagle Territory will also be difficult to protect.
Although the competition venue in Snow Eagle Territory is located in a valley, it is constantly shrouded in extreme cold, making the ground extremely brittle and unable to withstand heavy blows.
Now, with Shui Bing'er constantly hurling hundreds of feet of spiraling ice crystals from thousands of meters above the ground, it simply cannot withstand the impact.
After this battle, the geological strata here were basically destroyed.
Furthermore, clearing away the extreme cold here is quite troublesome, making another change of venue inevitable.
The problem is that he only prepared one backup competition venue just in case, and now there is no other venue for him to change to.
But can you really talk about something like this?
So no matter what, he can only grit his teeth and rebuild a competition venue as soon as possible before dawn tomorrow.
We must build it as quickly as possible, at all costs!
Without mentioning that Xue Ye secretly ordered his subordinates to build a new arena, Tang San on the battle stage had already abandoned his original head-on tactics, put away his Second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, and transformed into his third Martial Soul, the Nine-Headed Bat King, his entire body entering a state of nothingness.
If Wang Hao were here, his first thought would probably be Brother Obito Uchiha's Kamui from the Naruto World.
The Nine-Headed Bat King possesses two innate Soul Skill: one is the Spatial Teleportation that Tang San used before, and the other is the Body of Nothingness he has now.
This is also a spatial attribute Soul Skill, which allows the user to hide in a spatial interlayer. As long as the opponent's attack does not reach the level of breaking through space, it cannot harm them.
This is indeed very similar to Obito Uchiha Kamui.
Of course, maintaining this Body of Nothingness continuously consumes one's own Soul Power, and the consumption is not small.
After all, it's Soul Skill with spatial attributes!
After Tang San was unable to withstand the spiral ice crystals, those hundred-foot-tall spiral ice crystals continued to crash to the ground, generating layers of vibrational force that caused the earth below to continuously collapse.
Even so, the three Demon Subduing Douluo were still maintaining the icy defensive barrier, trapping the cold currents guided down by Shui Bing'er through the spiral ice crystals within the limited space of the battle platform, which further amplified the destructive power of the cold currents.
The battle lasted for a full half hour. Tang San, who was maintaining his Body of Nothingness form, was pale and weak, clearly having expended a great deal of energy. However, a slight smile still lingered on his lips.
Although it was quite taxing, he could still hold on for at least another ten minutes.
The frequency of the spiraling ice crystals falling has decreased significantly, indicating that the Shui Bing'er above has reached its limit.
Victory will surely belong to Shrek!
Soon, the dark clouds in the sky were completely swallowed up by the enormous vortex, and the vast, extremely cold power within was completely absorbed by some entity.
Without the support of extreme cold, the ice storm quickly dissipated and collapsed, revealing a clear sky and a colossal creature.
"That is..."
The moment the ice storm dissipated, Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eye and looked up, wanting to check on Shui Bing'er's condition. However, when he saw that enormous creature, his face turned green once again.
Not only did Tang San's face turn green, but Xue Ye and the others on the main stands also turned green, and even Salas looked at the enormous thing in the sky in shock.
It's huge, absolutely enormous!
Even from a distance of several thousand meters, they could clearly see that being, which even obscured the entire sky of Snow Eagle Territory.
It was an Ice Crystal Phoenix, at least tens of thousands of feet in size, with a wingspan of more than twenty thousand feet.
Not to mention the extreme cold power within, the sheer size of that object crashing down was a severe Scourge.
"All personnel must leave the competition area immediately, or face the consequences!"
Once Salas came to his senses, he immediately shouted for the evacuation of personnel.
"All Imperial warriors, heed my command: organize the evacuation of all personnel present from Snow Eagle Territory. Those who disobey will be executed without mercy!"
Xue Ye also realized what was happening and immediately ordered his Soul Master Legion to assist everyone in their relocation.
The arena was already on the verge of collapse after being bombarded by the spiraling ice crystals. If it were to be hit by that Ice Crystal Phoenix high in the sky, it would definitely be finished.
Faced with such a Scourge attack, even a Titled Douluo- level expert would have to kneel, let alone the juniors of the academy. Therefore, they must evacuate as soon as possible.
The group wasn't stupid; they understood how terrifying the upcoming attack would be, and they all retreated hastily.
Fortunately, those who were able to watch the battle were all powerful Soul Master, and they were quite fast, quickly withdrawing from Snow Eagle Territory.
Meanwhile, Shui Bing'er, standing high in the sky on the back of the Ice Phoenix, saw through her telescope that everyone had evacuated the arena. Finally, she released control of the Ice Crystal Phoenix Ice Phoenix, guiding it towards Tang San on the battle stage.
His Ice Crystal Phoenix was not only terrifyingly large, but it also contained a massive amount of extreme cold power, making it a double blow.
She didn't believe Tang San could withstand such an attack!
" Tang San, is it time to admit defeat and leave the stage?"
Standing at the edge of the battle platform, the referee, enduring the biting cold, questioned Tang San.
Although he really didn't want to remind Tang San, that was the rule of the competition, and it was also his job, so he had no choice but to ask.
Tang San ignored the referee's words and instead looked solemnly at the Ice Crystal Phoenix that had begun to swoop down from the sky.
He had already withdrawn from the Body of Nothingness and was ready to Spatial Teleportation at any moment.
He cannot use his two innate Soul Skill, Body of Nothingness and Spatial Teleportation, at the same time. Therefore, if he wants to use Spatial Teleportation to save his life, he must first exit Body of Nothingness.
The reason he's still insisting on staying here is to lure Shui Bing'er into unleashing her ultimate killing move, the Ice Crystal Phoenix.
To avoid the other party pulling a trap and causing trouble for his teammates afterwards.
Indeed, the moment Tang San saw the Ice Crystal Phoenix, he knew he couldn't defeat Shui Bing'er this time.
Therefore, he now needs to use himself to guide Shui Bing'er to unleash this final killing move. After he loses, Shui Bing'er will definitely not have the strength to fight again. At that time, their Shrek Team can let Tang Long, who has recovered enough, take the lead and win the final victory.
Although Tang Long lost an arm, he still retained a considerable amount of combat power and was fully capable of defeating Shui Bing'er, whose Soul Power was completely exhausted.
Just as the swooping Ice Crystal Phoenix was about to crash into the ground, Tang San decisively used his Spatial Teleportation Soul Skill to escape.
He had previously entrusted Dean Flender with a Hidden Weapon containing the coordinates of Soul Skill. Now that Flender and the others had long since escaped Snow Eagle Territory, he only needed to use that Hidden Weapon as a coordinate to Teleportation there.
This is the advantage of his Spatial Teleportation Soul Skill. Although he cannot Teleportation using his gaze as a coordinate like Xiao Wu Xiao Wu, he can move a much greater distance.
Furthermore, this maximum distance will continue to increase with his cultivation level, making it a very powerful Soul Skill.
"Boom!"
The Ice Crystal Phoenix, with a wingspan of over 20,000 zhang, crashed into the competition field with great speed, creating a series of deafening roars that shook the earth for thousands of miles around.
The land within a hundred miles of Snow Eagle Territory was completely transformed, its appearance entirely changed.
Then, the power of extreme cold erupted, forcibly freezing the collapsing earth and forming a huge Iceburg.
" Tang San has moved out of the fighting area. Shui Bing'er is now declared the winner. Please welcome the next member of the Shrek Team to the battle."
The referee, extremely competent, endured the corrosive effects of the extreme cold on his body and appeared above the Iceburg, loudly announcing Shui Bing'er's victory. At the same time, he routinely called on the next member of the Shrek Team to fight.
Unlike before, this time the Shrek Team did not delay until the three-minute regrouping period was over; Flender immediately flew back with Tang Long.
"Referee, at the same time, the extreme cold power here is released by Shui Bing'er, continuously attacking our team members, which means that Shui Bing'er has agreed to start immediately."
According to the tournament rules, if the opponent doesn't make a move within one minute, the game is considered lost.
Looking up at the Shui Bing'er that had been created in the air as a concave ice surface to slowly descend as a parachute, Flender sneered and reminded the referee.
"What the hell?! How can they be so Shameless?"
Even the referee, with his composure, couldn't help but utter a curse, clearly having once again redefined his own understanding of the word "Shameless" by Flender.
Not only were the referees shocked by Flender's Shameless, but the returning Xue Ye and his group were also dumbfounded.
Because they had to control the ice crystal parachute to resist the strong winds caused by the previous ice storm and Ice Crystal Phoenix, they were judged to have lost the game in order not to be blown out of the platform area.
In addition, as a control-type Soul Master, her physical strength was somewhat lacking and she couldn't withstand too much impact, so Shui Bing'er could only descend slowly.
At this speed, it would take at least a minute to land back on the ground, but Flender Shameless seized on and exploited this fact.
This is absolutely Shameless!
The returning members from other academies also cast disdainful glances at Flender, and by extension, at the Shrek Team and Shrek Academy.
They were all competitors to begin with and didn't like each other, and Shrek Team's arrogant behavior in the previous competition made everyone even more unhappy.
Now, having had their worldview shattered again by Shrek Academy, they naturally feel utter contempt for them, considering it a disgrace to their academy world!
In truth, Flender was also deeply bitter inside; he didn't want things to be this way either.
But there was nothing he could do; the extreme cold power gathered by Shui Bing'er was simply too powerful, making it difficult even for him to stay there.
Tang Long was just recovering from serious injuries, would have his combat power suppressed by at least 30% here, causing his strength, which was already weakened by the loss of an arm, to drop even further.
Moreover, who knows how much fighting power Shui Bing'er still has? So he doesn't want to, can't, and dares not take that risk. He can only resort to such Shameless behavior to exploit the loopholes in the competition rules once again.
Meanwhile, Tang Long face was turning blue from the cold while standing atop the Iceburg, was also in a bad state. He had to resist the corrosive power of the extreme cold while enduring the scornful looks of the crowd, suffering from both physical and mental stress.
Especially the disdainful looks from the crowd—how could he, a member of the Clear Sky Sect and with a proud nature, tolerate that?
If the sect leader hadn't instructed him beforehand to obey Flender and the others' orders and win the tournament, he would have quit long ago.
Tang Long is a respectable man; he cares about his reputation too!
