Chapter 133

Zou Jie felt he wouldn't be like Luosi, giving Wen Jing time to find an opportunity. If he had used his strongest Holy Light Judgment right away when they encountered each other, none of the subsequent events would have happened.

Today, he will defeat Wen Jing head-on with such a complete and overwhelming force!

"Bang!"

With a clear shattering sound, Wen Jing's shield broke, exposing his body to a barrage of Wind Blade.

A transparent shell silently covered her body, and the Wind Blade that could impact a level three shield couldn't even leave a mark on it.

"Domain? You call this a domain?" Wen Jing asked in a subtle tone.

If it were an enemy encountered in the Ancient Wilderness, she wouldn't mind showing them what a true domain is like.

But this is, after all, the material universe, and the students' competition is taking place on Azure Jade's territory—putting everything else aside, even just considering Dean Fu's gift, she definitely has to restrain herself.

Exposed to Wen Jing hurricane that Zou Jie had transformed into, Wen Jing looked like a tiny insect compared to a human due to the size difference.

Then the 'little insect' stretched out its hand, carefully controlling the number of Frost Vein Silk.

One, two, three... eight sticks should be enough.

The unassuming, shimmering white threads were gathered and blended into the wind.

The moment they come into contact with the air and the wind, the seemingly fragile threads Extreme Speed spread, diffuse, and intertwine...

What was originally only affecting a small area was propelled by the wind, as if an invisible Frost Vein Silk Frost Spider had instantly woven a giant web, covering the entire venue at a terrifying speed.

"Crack... Sizzle..."

A strange sound rang out; it wasn't the sound of cracking, but rather the sound of Extreme Speed freezing and solidification.

Under the astonishingly low temperatures, heat was frantically drawn out from the entire venue, causing the air temperature within the hurricane zone to plummet.

The climate on Azure Jade Star is humid with high air humidity. The water vapor that freezes first is transformed into countless tiny ice crystals by the wind and pattered onto the high-strength glass.

A layer of white mist immediately condensed on the glass facing the audience.

"What happened?!"

The onlookers were startled by this sudden turn of events. Could it be that Wen Jing had suddenly unleashed a mental attack?

Then, even bigger changes came.

At low temperatures, the average kinetic energy of molecules decreases sharply, and thermal motion slows down dramatically. Zou Jie's gaseous body molecules are forced to shrink Extreme Speed, which is commonly known as thermal expansion and contraction.

"Huh?! What--"

Zou Jie's horrified voice became distorted, and he stopped mid-sentence.

The swirling hurricane, which had been spinning relentlessly just moments before, suddenly burst open into a massive cloud of white ice mist.

Countless ice crystals were generated and gathered wildly, quickly covering his gaseous body. His invisible body, which had once flowed throughout the venue, began to fall and collapse Extreme Speed.

"Whoosh..."

Finally, the frost and snow coalesced into an ice sculpture of Zou Jie, his entire body covered in frost, his face still bearing an open-mouthed, horrified expression.

The venue was completely silent.

The wind stopped, and only tiny ice crystals drifted down like diamond dust, refracting a dazzling, cold light under the dome's illumination.

Wen Jing turned to look at Azure Jade Academic Affairs Director, who was in charge of the event, with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"He seems unable to admit defeat right now."

She seemed to have overcounted earlier; she should have used seven sticks instead. But she was certain the person was still alive.

After a brief silence, everyone outside the room, including the dean of academic affairs, finally snapped out of their daze and realized what was happening.

An uproar immediately erupted inside the venue.

It happened so fast; everything changed in the blink of an eye, and the situation was reversed.

Nobody understands what happened!

Those who thought victory was assured were suddenly slapped in the face, completely dumbfounded. Only the Ocher Soil group, after a moment of stunned silence, erupted in a triumphant cheer.

"Drop--!"

As the emergency medical robot lit up with a red light, the venue doors swung open with a bang, and a gust of cold wind blew out.

"The current environment is abnormally cold, requesting manual support!" The thermometer on the robot's back plummeted, and the liquid medicine in the syringe in the robotic claw was freezing.

All eight doors inside the venue were opened, and the Dean of Academic Affairs rushed in first.

As soon as she entered, she couldn't help but shudder.

Due to convection, although the temperature here is rising rapidly, it still exceeds minus fifty degrees Celsius, a level that even Awakened find cold.

This made the academic affairs director glance at Wen Jing with surprise.

No wonder she felt something was off outside; even in such a cold environment, the other person's breath didn't produce any white vapor.

Although the reason is unclear, saving lives is the priority right now.

The dean of academic affairs seemed to possess healing abilities. He immediately brought the frozen Zou Jie out of the stadium. After a surge of energy, Zou Jie's frozen eyes blinked, and the frost on his body quickly melted away.

However, despite the thawing, Zou Jie's expression was dull and listless. His once-erect hair was now wet and plastered to his scalp, and his entire demeanor had changed drastically, making him seem like a completely different person from his previous spirited self.

"I..."

He instinctively wanted to say something, but his gaze suddenly swept over Wen Jing, who was walking towards him.

Instantly, he shuddered, his eyes widened, and he quickly said:

I surrender!

It was terrifying. Now, whenever Zou Jie sees Wen Jing, he is reminded of that feeling where his thoughts seemed to be frozen!

These words marked the complete end of the duel.

Of course, given Zou Jie's current state, even if he doesn't admit defeat verbally, the result is undeniable.

"No... sigh!"

The thought of being laughed at by Mystic Radiance and Ocher Soil filled the Azure Jade students with resentment, helplessness, and utter confusion.

What move did Wen Jing use? How could it be so powerful?

Without a trace, Zou Jie, who was in his prime just moments before, was frozen into an ice sculpture, and even his hairstyle was ruined!

Ignoring the reactions of the surrounding students, the academic affairs director immediately nodded and announced to everyone:

"Okay, Zou Jie's right to reside in the villa for the next three months will be transferred to Wen Jing."

Noticing that Wen Jing's gaze seemed to be searching for something among the Azure Jade students, the dean of academic affairs suddenly became even more serious and authoritative.

"This dispute concerning the transfer of villa rights ends here, and only once." She said rapidly, "If you want to challenge each other again in the future, you can, but you can't use the right to reside in the villa as a bargaining chip, understand?"

"Yes..."

With the director giving such a speech, everyone around had no choice but to respond in unison.

Wen Jing was very disappointed. She had just wanted to ask Rong Feng if he wanted to fight here, but she didn't know where he had gone.

Now that the director has said she can't change to a villa, she naturally doesn't bother looking anymore.

When you're traveling, you just have to make do.

Seeing this, the dean of academic affairs secretly breathed a sigh of relief and admired the dean's foresight in quickly giving away the fifth-ranked villa to minimize the loss.

If Wen Jing continues to challenge them like this, the second-year students of Azure Jade will lose face!

"The duel is over, let's call it a day."

"Yes..."

The entire challenge, from its official start to its conclusion, lasted less than ten minutes; the longest time was spent waiting for Zou Jie to be unfrozen.

They arrived full of enthusiasm but left disappointed. The Azure Jade group members were crestfallen, their initial arrogance completely gone.

They never imagined in their lives that they would one day be unable to hold their heads high in front of the students from Ocher Soil.

The group from Ocher Soil, on the other hand, were completely different. They arrived nervous and anxious, but left with their heads held high and chests puffed out, as if they were escorting a victorious general as they followed Wen Jing away.

Chapter 133

Despite having the home advantage, the fifth-ranked student in the grade suffered a crushing defeat in their challenge against Wen Jing.

What was originally intended as a show of force by the Azure Jade students against Wen Jing has instead become a show of force by Wen Jing against Azure Jade.

The Azure Jade Forum, which was previously buzzing with excitement, is now shrouded in gloom, with everyone baffled as to why things turned out this way. Some are even encouraging the top ten students from other grades... no, to be precise, the top four students from other grades to challenge Wen Jing again.

However, Zou Jie's defeat was so decisive and thorough that those watching the match didn't even know what kind of superpower Wen Jing had used.

In this situation, Wen Jing didn't take the initiative to challenge them. The top four students in the grade aren't stupid; of course, they wouldn't do something reckless.

Right now, all we know for sure is that Azure Jade's fifth-ranked player can't Wen Jing. If they lose again, it will get out that this year's Azure Jade is inferior to Ocher Soil.

News of this battle quickly spread to the other two academies.

The Ocher Soil was naturally overjoyed, with people spreading the news of the swift and humiliating defeat.

Although the opportunity to go to Azure Jade is precious, the few exchange students who have actually been there can deeply feel the condescending discrimination.

In the past, we lacked the strength to back down and endure ridicule, but now we can finally hold our heads high.

As for the Mystic Radiance Academy, many people are also paying close attention to the outcome of this battle.

Three months have passed since Wen Jing's stunning appearance in the Freshman League. Apart from receiving Wen Jing unwavering news every month that she had achieved an S-rank in the Trial Tower, no one knows her current strength.

However, the Trial Tower displays combat skills, not actual strength. Just like a person with a base attribute of 1, even if they have a 10-fold boost in combat, they still can't beat someone with a base attribute of 100.

The transformation into Wilderness Body is one of the watershed moments in Awakened's strength, and the differences in Wilderness Body levels become apparent at this stage.

This is why many people wanted to step on Wen Jing to prove their strength after the league season.

Even though research on the metamorphosis of insects in the Wilderness Body is widely known, Wen Jing was undoubtedly F-rank from the start. Even if he could evolve, it would be from a lower rank to a higher rank. How could he compare to a high-ranking Awakened was born at the finish line?
