Chapter 144

At the same time, Xu Jintang raised his hand and activated his supernatural power, unleashing several ice chains that attacked Yan Yuhang simultaneously.

The ice chains formed a protective array, completely surrounding Yan Yuhang.

A sharp glint flashed in Yan Yuhang's eyes. He raised his arms, golden light shimmering on them, and sharp claws rapidly emerged from his fingertips. He reached out and grabbed the ice chain, his spiritual power surging. Then he pulled hard.

"Click--"

The ice chain snapped and crumbled into ice shards that fell to the ground.

Yan Yuhang tiptoed, his leg strength surging, and charged towards the opposite side.

He leaped into the air, his sharp claws slashing towards Xu Jintang.

Just as the claws were about to grab Xu Jintang, they were stopped by a powerful force.

Xu Jintang looked up, gripped the other person's arm tightly, and pulled him to the ground.

With a loud "boom," Jiang Shiyi and the others next door had already started fighting each other.

"Withering Fire Feathers!" Song Tianqi shouted, pointing to the sky with his hands outstretched.

Countless fiery red feathers then drifted down from the sky.

The energy gathered in the air quickly burned and exploded, and with Jiang Shiyi's explosive shells, half of the arena was forcibly transformed into a battlefield atmosphere filled with Hail of Bullets.

"Junior, it's been a while, your strength has improved quite a bit." Yan Yuhang shook his arm, which was numb from the shock, after being knocked back again.

Xu Jintang smiled slightly, "You flatter me. Senior, you are also very capable."

After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Jintang's expression immediately turned cold. She rushed forward again, spreading her arms wide, and a powerful spiritual energy wave slowly formed in front of her.

--Ice Blade Storm.

Yan Yuhang sensed danger and immediately frowned and retreated.

They only stopped when they reached the edge of the ring.

At this moment, a chill rose from his ankles, and frost quietly covered his feet, gradually solidifying.

Yan Yuhang, whose attention was focused on the Ice Blade Storm on the other side, did not notice these details.

A cold glint flashed between his brows as he revealed the sharp claws in his hands, his arm strength instantly increasing dramatically.

"Vajra Body Protection!"

Yan Yuhang crossed his arms, forming a defensive beam of light.

At this moment, the Ice Blade Storm had already rushed towards them.

The ice blade sliced across his arm, producing a piercing screeching sound as it rubbed against the diamond-like light waves.

Yan Yuhang gritted his teeth, pushed off with his feet, and continued to endure the pain.

Fortunately, his mental strength level was higher, and under the suppression of his level, the Ice Blade Storm gradually dissipated after a short while.

Yan Yuhang breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked up again, his gaze towards Xu Jintang was much more cautious.

Before coming to the appointment today, they had heard Teacher Zhuang mention that Xu Jintang's superpower had evolved into the Domain of Ice, which was quite powerful.

Although I was mentally prepared, it was still stronger than I had imagined.

"Vajra Blast!"

Yan Yuhang crossed his arms in front of him, rapidly gathering his mental energy throughout his body.

Just as he was about to lunge forward, he suddenly tripped over something.

He lost his balance and stumbled, falling to the ground.

Looking down, I realized that my feet had been frozen to the ring without me noticing.

Xu Jintang rushed over quickly, clenched his fists, and rapidly gathered the Power of Dragon Blood. He then raised his hand and slammed down with his fist.

Yan Yuhang's mouth and nose were immediately swollen from the blow, and a stream of hot liquid flowed down from his nose.

Venus appeared before Yan Yuhang's eyes. He was dazed for a moment, then touched his nose and looked down to find his hands covered in blood.

"No, junior, you went way too far!"

Xu Jintang coughed a little guiltily, "Sorry, senior."

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her foot and delivered a flying kick.

The ice that had frozen Yan Yuhang's ankles melted quietly, and Yan Yuhang, now free, was lifted into the air and kicked off the stage.

Meanwhile, the battle in the adjacent arena was also raging fiercely.

After Gu Nianwei was controlled by the Soul Link, she was immediately restrained in place by Xue Zhongqi.

Jiang Shiyi and Song Tianqi's combined efforts forced Lan Beijia and her group to retreat continuously.

Judging from the current situation on the field, Xu Jintang and his five teammates actually have the upper hand.

Especially after Yan Yuhang was knocked off the stage.

At that moment, Zhuang Silin quietly appeared below the ring.

She had heard about the challenge between Xu Jintang and his five friends today, and she made a special trip to come and watch.

She leaned against a wooden post, her gaze sweeping across the stage.

Yan Yuhang, who had already been ousted from the stage, came over to greet him, scratching his head and laughing, "Teacher Zhuang, you're here too."

Zhuang Silin glanced at him, "They've already been knocked down so early?"

Yan Yuhang coughed awkwardly, "An accident, an accident."

As the two were talking, another fierce battle broke out on the arena.

Xu Jintang turned around and rushed towards Gu Nianwei.

At this time, the time limit for Soul Sharing with Gu Nianwei had expired.

As his skill went into cooldown, Xue Zhongqi quickly turned and ran away, not forgetting to casually toss a Soul Brand to Gu Nianwei as he ran.

--Soul Brand: Once locked onto an enemy target, it reduces the enemy's damage by 10% for one minute and doubles the rate at which mental energy is consumed.

Gu Nianwei noticed the change in her internal spiritual energy and glared speechlessly at Xue Zhongqi, who had already run far away. "What kind of disgusting skills are these?"

Xu Jintang chuckled, "Senior, I'm here."

As soon as the words were spoken, frost quickly covered the opposite side, and a thin layer of frost immediately formed on the surface of the arena, causing the temperature of the surrounding air to drop to freezing point.

Gu Nianwei quickly regained her composure and focused her attention back on Xu Jintang.

She flexed her wrists, raised her hands, and silently chanted, "Raging Wildfire Meteor Shower!"

A sudden downpour of fire rained down from the sky.

Xu Jintang stopped in his tracks, raised his hand, and just as the fire rain was about to fall, he unleashed his ultimate ice attribute on the field. Thick layers of ice rapidly grew and condensed, attacking the location where the fire rain was about to land.

"Sizzle--"

When the fire rain collided with the ice layer, wisps of white smoke rose up.

However, due to the suppression of mental strength, the ice layer did not last long before it was instantly melted by the high temperature of the fire rain, turning into a puddle of water left on the arena.

Gu Nianwei smiled slightly, seized the opportunity to rush in front of Xu Jintang, and condensed a ball of flame in her palm to strike the other side.

In the clash between ice and fire, Gu Nianwei, with her higher level of mental strength, clearly had the upper hand.

Xu Jintang had no choice but to retreat and temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack.

At that moment, Lan Beijia student next door, fired her Sun-Chasing Arrow again.

Caught in a sudden pincer attack, Xu Jintang quickly turned and dodged.

"Squad leader, catch!"

Yan Yuting's voice came from the side.

Xu Jintang caught the toast that was thrown at him, and while running for his life, he stuffed the toast into his mouth and chewed it.

Zhuang Silin, sitting in the audience, slowly frowned, her expression becoming noticeably serious.

"Sigh, the younger students are still too young," Yan Yuhang remarked, arms crossed.

Zhuang Silin glanced at him. "So, you deliberately let them win just now?"

Yan Yuhang tossed his hair, shrugged, and said, "Well, what can I do? I'm a dashing senior, so going easy on the younger students is just to give them some confidence."

He was at the Fifth Tier level of mental strength; no matter how careless he was, he shouldn't have been kicked off the stage by Xu Jintang.

Zhuang Silin withdrew her gaze and continued to stare intently at the stage.

As the battle progressed, the situation clearly began to turn against Xu Jintang and his group of five, with Gu Nianwei now unleashing her full power after losing the restraint of the Soul Sharing mechanism.

It unleashed astonishing skill damage continuously, which even Xu Jintang could not resist.

Jiang Shiyi and Yan Yuting were holding their own against the three Fourth Tier ability users, but they were gradually being pushed back.

But everyone overlooked Xue Zhongqi.

After using the Soul Sharing, he retreated to the back.

Gu Nianwei and the others knew that his skill had a cooldown period after the first use, so they didn't deal with him immediately.

"Please, I beg you, it has to succeed, it has to succeed." Xue Zhongqi clasped his hands together, repeatedly muttering to himself.

He took a deep breath, held his breath, and his emotions suddenly calmed down.

Subsequently, hundreds of Inscription Talisman rose into the air, and under the control of mental power, they formed complex array patterns.

Xue Zhongqi's gaze turned serious. He blocked out all surrounding sounds and focused intently on connecting the array patterns.

"What is he up to?" Gu Nianwei sensed the fluctuations in mental energy and looked at Xue Zhongqi.

Lan Beijia leaned closer, his expression grave, and said, "It could be an array pattern, the one he used before."

Gu Nianwei pondered for a moment, then said, "Go and take care of him first, just in case anything unexpected happens."

"Hmm." Lan Beijia responded and immediately turned to attack Xue Zhongqi.

Suddenly, Xu Jintang appeared out of nowhere, shouting, "Senior, don't go!"

A layer of ice, carrying a chill, surged forward rapidly, blocking Lan Beijia's path.

"Then I'll eliminate you first." Lan Beijia's eyes turned cold. He raised his hand, drew his bow, and three golden arrows immediately appeared on the bowstring. He then charged up and released the arrow.

Xu Jintang performed a backflip to dodge, narrowly avoiding the attack of three arrows.

She curled her lips into a smile and raised her hand to gather her supernatural power.

The thick layer of ice suddenly rose up from behind, reflecting a cold, sharp light in the sunlight.

At this moment, Xue Zhongqi's array pattern gradually took shape. As the threads of spiritual energy extended, one Inscription Talisman after another was rapidly lit up.

The energy fluctuations it contains are also becoming increasingly stronger.

Zhuang Silin, standing below the arena, looked up at Xue Zhongqi. "This shouldn't be the array pattern he used before."

Yan Yuhang nodded. "It feels stronger than the array pattern I used before."

At this point, he suddenly realized something, raised his hand and slapped his forehead, "Oh no, are we going to lose?"

Zhuang Silin pondered for a moment, "That's really hard to say."

Lan Beijia was stopped by Xu Jintang.

Seeing that something was wrong, Gu Nianwei frowned, quickly bypassed the battle, and rushed towards Xue Zhongqi's position.
