The Semifinals Begin
"Hey, Yu Tianshuang, you managed to reach the Ultimate Ice ice attribute strength without using my Soul Ring and Soul Bone Skill?"
On the stands, the Ice Empress's long, dark green hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Her fair and beautiful face showed disbelief. This human, without the Ice Empress's Blessing or the enhancement of the Eternal Frozen Domain, could launch an attack that reached the strength of Ultimate Ice. It should be known that even she could not fully achieve Ultimate Power in many attacks. And as far as she knew, in the entire Douluo Continent, only the true king of the Far North, the Snow Empress, could casually unleash an attack of Ultimate Ice.
"Senior Ice Empress, it's not as simple as you think. My Second Martial Soul, Heavenly Frost Cold Qi, although it doesn't have any attached Soul Ring, is still stronger than my First Martial Soul Frost Dragon, in terms of its enhancement to ice attributes and attack power. Moreover, ' Momentary Splendor,' well, that's Soul Skill I created myself. This move also greatly enhances ice attribute attacks, which is why I was able to reach the Ultimate Ice without using my domain or your Soul Skill."
The Ice Heaven Frost Sword - Momentary Splendor is a sword move corresponding to the fourth level of the Ice Heaven Sword Scripture. It is a sword move that can only be mastered by those at the Golden Core Stage. If it were used in the previous world, with the cultivation of the Golden Core Stage, a single sword strike would truly be Momentary Splendor that freezes everything.
Unfortunately, in this world, not only because of the rules, even if one reaches a cultivation bottleneck, one cannot break through through self-cultivation; one can only break through by absorbing Soul Ring. Moreover, the power of spells and sword techniques is greatly reduced.
"I knew it. The last time I saw you unleash your Ultimate Ice attack, it was only with the double enhancement of my Soul Ring and Soul Bone. Even if you're a genius, you shouldn't have reached the Snow Empress's level in such a short time, phew..."
Since becoming human with the help of Yu Tianshuang's Purple Seal, Ice Empress has been diligently cultivating, especially after her battle with Tang Hao, realizing that she is not very strong in the human world.
"Tianshuang, we won't be going back to the hotel later. The match this afternoon is also very important for us. Whether it's the Spirit Hall Team or the Shrek Team, it will definitely be a fierce battle between them. Staying to observe will help us understand our opponents tomorrow."
Even if Shui Xinrou hadn't said anything, he still wanted to see Hu Liena's Martial Soul Fusion Technique, Demon Charm. He also wanted to know how Shrek Academy would respond; it would probably still be the Tool Soul True Body, since that's about all Tang San has to offer.
After dinner, everyone took a short rest in the lounge in the competition venue. With a creak, the lounge door was pushed open, and two beautiful figures in blue walked in. They were Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu.
"Why are you two here? Didn't I tell you to rest properly at the hotel? Honestly..."
Shui Xinrou looked at the two people who walked in and said something reproachfully, but her gentle face and water-like voice made her words have no intimidating power at all.
"Auntie, teacher, our injuries have almost healed. We're just a little weak from blood loss, but it's nothing serious."
Yu Tianshuang and the others also looked over. The two of them were indeed no different from usual, except that their faces were still a little pale.
"I saw Huo Wu and the others when I came in. Although Lingling and Hairou reattached Huo Wushuang's arm, it will still affect his combat ability for the time being. Moreover, Feng Xiaotian looks completely listless. It seems that the Star Luo Empire Team will win the fourth place match tomorrow."
Originally, the strength of the New Godwind Academy was slightly stronger than that of the Star Luo Empire Team, but Huo Wushuang, the meat shield responsible for protecting Huo Wu, the big gun turret, lost his combat power, and Feng Xiaotian, who could restrain the Hell White Tiger, was not in good condition. Huo Wu alone was afraid that she would not be able to hold the line.
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing was also very happy. After reconciling with her sister, she was quite worried about their situation. They were seriously injured by Dai Mubai's Shrek Academy during the competition, and she didn't know what kind of punishment they would face when they returned. Now, if they could get fourth place in the finals, things should be fine.
"Well, no matter who we face tomorrow, and no matter the outcome, kids, you've already done incredibly well to get this far. This is unprecedented in the history of the Skywater Academy. After tomorrow's competition, your teacher will treat you to a big meal."
"Yay, Auntie, I want to eat..."
On Shui Yue'er's lively and adorable face, the expression of a foodie appeared. Her sky-blue eyes instantly turned into two stars. Upon hearing about a big meal, she immediately and happily announced the names of a dish.
"Heh, you're such a glutton..."
Shui Xinrou was also in a very good mood, and affectionately pinched Shui Yue'er's delicate nose.
"Dear viewers, good afternoon! The next match is the highly anticipated clash between the Spirit Hall Team and the biggest dark horse of the tournament, the Shrek Academy Team. The winning team will face off against the Skywater Academy Team tomorrow for the championship title. Now, please welcome both teams onto the field!!!"
"Yan, if the Shrek Academy Team tries to use that seven-in-one tactic and activate their Tool Soul True Body, you just rush out and interrupt them. My brother and I will transform into Demon Charm immediately."
As the brains of the team, Hu Liena also attaches great importance to the Shrek Academy Team, especially Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer. To be honest, even if she used the Martial Soul Fusion Skill to transform into Demon Charm, she was not confident in facing Tang San's Tool Soul True Body.
"Don't worry, Nana, leave it to me. I won't give him a chance to use his Tool Soul True Body."
Although he was frozen into an ice sculpture by Shui Bing'er in the last match, just like Zhu Zhuqing and Shui Yue'er, he played no role at all. In particular, he failed to interrupt Skywater Academy's Six-Pointed Snowflake Formation secret technique at the beginning. Yan vowed in his heart that he would never let such a thing happen again.
"Xiaosan, are you sure you're okay? Are you really sure you can handle being left alone in the red mist to fight the Demon Charm?"
Although the tactics had been decided, Dai Mubai Dai Mubai still somewhat worried when he thought of the Demon Charm. Even Shui Bing'er, who was like a queen descending to earth, had been cut down from her phoenix by him.
"Boss Dai, don't worry, just do as I say. Leave it to me. You just need to take care of the rest of the Spirit Hall Team as soon as possible."
Tang San possessed the Purple Demon Eye and the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, so he didn't take the eerie red mist seriously at all. As long as he could hold out against the Demon Charm in the red mist until Dai Mubai and the others dealt with the rest outside, victory would be theirs.
"Very well, both sides have activated their Martial Soul, therefore I declare the match open!!!"
As soon as the referee's voice fell, Yan from the Spirit Hall Team, engulfed in flames, charged out first. The team's Auxiliary System Soul Master immediately cast the "Edict of Light" support Soul Skill on Hu Liena and Xie Yue.
