Ice Heaven Frost Sword

"First Soul Skill, Ice Seal."

As Shui Bing'er waved her slender hand, she sent a cluster of ice, icy blue and rippling with Soul Power, hurtling toward Shui Yue'er.

The ice spread rapidly toward Shui Yue'er, but even though she knew dodging the Soul Skill would be useless, she ignored it and continued charging toward Shui Bing'er.

Just as Ice Seal was about to hit her, Shui Yue'er halted her charge and looked teasingly at her sister. Then an ice wall appeared out of nowhere in front of her, separating her from Ice Seal's cluster of ice.

The Ice Seal spreading along the ground climbed to the top of the ice wall and stopped. Shui Yue'er's lovely figure then appeared at the side of the wall.

"Not bad. The two of them worked together seamlessly. Knowing they couldn't dodge it, they used an ice wall to meet Ice Seal head-on. Very sharp combat instincts."

Seeing them overcome Shui Bing'er's Ice Seal, which locked onto its target, in this way, Shui Xinrou couldn't help nodding in approval.

"Well, sister? Your Ice Seal locks onto its target and can't be dodged, but all I had to do was let it hit something, right? Hee-hee."

Having overcome Shui Bing'er's Ice Seal Soul Skill, Shui Yue'er spoke to her smugly.

Looking at her younger sister, who had already charged right up to her, Shui Bing'er's cool face showed no change in expression, but her azure, sky-like eyes brightened.

"Second Soul Skill, Ice Ring Armor."

Just as Shui Yue'er was about to attack her, Shui Bing'er used her second Soul Skill. A layer of frost armor wreathed in icy mist appeared over her body.

Shui Yue'er's kick then struck Shui Bing'er, who was covered in Ice Ring Armor. Though the impact forced Shui Bing'er back several steps, she saw that her sister's kick had only slightly damaged the armor. She waved her hand, and an Ice Seal froze Shui Yue'er into an ice sculpture.

"Wah~ Sister, you're cheating! You even used your second Soul Skill against a One-Ring Soul Master like me. That's not fair~"

Frozen into an ice sculpture, Shui Yue'er pouted at her sister from inside the ice.

Ignoring Shui Yue'er's pouting, Shui Bing'er fixed her azure eyes solemnly on Yu Tianshuang, who was sprinting toward her from a short distance away.

Damn it, I didn't expect a control-type Soul Master like Shui Bing'er to have a defensive second Soul Skill. I miscalculated.

Shui Yue'er is restrained now. With the gap between their Soul Power, who knows how long it'll take her to break free on her own? I have to find a way to draw Shui Bing'er's attention first, then look for a chance to rescue Shui Yue'er.

"First Soul Skill, Prismatic Barrier Ice Array."

Soul Power surged in Yu Tianshuang's hands as he charged toward Shui Bing'er. With a wave, he summoned four ice walls around her.

Then he swept his left hand downward, and another ice wall condensed in the air, descending to cover the space enclosed by the four walls.

At that moment, Shui Bing'er, surrounded by the four ice walls, raised her hand toward the wall about to descend over her. A cluster of ice appeared in her hand and shot straight toward the wall in the sky, faster than the wall was falling. It struck the descending wall and froze it in midair.

"I've heard Shui Yue'er talk about that move hundreds of times these past few days. I figured out how to deal with it long ago."

Shui Bing'er spoke calmly to Yu Tianshuang as she vaulted out through the gap above the four ice walls. Afterward, she cast a teasing glance at Shui Yue'er, who was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Although her back was turned to Yu Tianshuang, Shui Yue'er's eyes still darted from side to side inside the ice sculpture as she tried to hide her guilty conscience.

"It's fine. You and Yue'er both live in the academy dormitory, and you're her own sister. Knowing what she's like, I could have expected it. Besides, I never intended to defeat you with that move alone."

Looking at Shui Bing'er, who had just landed, Yu Tianshuang condensed an ice sword from Soul Power in his right hand and charged at her again.

"First Soul Skill, Ice Seal."

Seeing the ice sword Yu Tianshuang had condensed from Soul Power in his hand, Shui Bing'er realized he wanted to fight her at close quarters. But how could she let him have his way? She waved her hand, and an Ice Seal spread toward him.

"Ice Shadow Seven Star Steps."

Just as Ice Seal was about to hit him, icy mist billowed around Yu Tianshuang's feet. He evaded it with a set of mysterious steps, but the Ice Seal missed him and continued chasing him from behind.

"Interesting, but you can't dodge my Ice Seal unless you use another ice wall to make it hit that instead. With the Soul Power of a One-Ring Soul Master, though, how many times can you use it?"

Watching Yu Tianshuang evade her Ice Seal, Shui Bing'er couldn't help smiling. Right now, he could only stop her Ice Seal by using that ice wall Soul Skill. What was the point of dodging it for the moment? Though she thought this, she didn't let down her guard. With a wave of her hand, she sent three more Ice Seals toward Yu Tianshuang, one from the center and one from each side.

With the Ice Seal behind him, that makes four in all. Let's see how you deal with them.

Seeing Shui Bing'er release three more Ice Seals, Yu Tianshuang's lips curved slightly upward.

You fell for it!

"Ice Heaven Frost Sword, Ice Heaven Concentrated Spirit."

The instant the three Ice Seals in front converged and were about to hit him, Yu Tianshuang swung the sword in his right hand, sending out a streak of icy-blue sword Qi. In a mere instant, it shattered the three Ice Seals Shui Bing'er had released. Its momentum undiminished, it smashed every cluster of ice spreading along its path before dissipating. Then the Ice Flower Cluster from Ice Heaven Concentrated Spirit's second attack appeared and swept toward Shui Bing'er.

"Second Soul Skill, Ice Ring Armor."

Seeing the Ice Flower Cluster attacking her, Shui Bing'er hurriedly released her second Soul Skill to defend herself, but she was still struck by Ice Heaven Concentrated Spirit's Ice Flower Cluster and turned into an ice sculpture.

Seeing Shui Bing'er temporarily frozen, Yu Tianshuang hurried to free Shui Yue'er from the ice.

Bang! In just a few breaths, Shui Bing'er broke free of the ice.

Tiny pieces of ice hung from Shui Bing'er's waist-length, sky-blue hair. Her usually serene and gentle face was covered in frost, and a trace of anger showed in her azure eyes as she looked coldly at Yu Tianshuang.

"Self-Created Soul Skill!!!" Xue Wu and Yu Hairou cried out in surprise from the sidelines.

"Very well, you've succeeded in making me angry. I'm going to turn you into a block of ice!"

Shui Bing'er waved her hand, shaking the ice from her hair and body. Soul Power surged in both hands, and she was just about to release a Soul Skill at Yu Tianshuang and Shui Yue'er.

"That's enough. Why are you getting serious with your own sister and your junior? Put your Martial Soul away. The two of them won this match."

Hearing Shui Xinrou's words, Shui Bing'er, still somewhat unwilling to accept the result, had no choice but to put away her Martial Soul. She shot Yu Tianshuang a cold look and said indignantly, "Yu Tianshuang, right? I'll remember you. Sooner or later, I'll turn you into a block of ice."

Shui Yue'er looked at Yu Tianshuang and stuck out her tongue sheepishly.

"Dummy, you're really unlucky. Ever since we were little, people my sister sets her sights on have generally had a miserable time. You're on your own."

"It's fine. I'll beat her again next time."

"Humph!" Hearing Yu Tianshuang and Shui Yue'er's conversation, Shui Bing'er snorted coldly again.
