Shui Bing'er vs. Ling Yuan Douluo

"What, are you unhappy with my arrangements?"

Bibi Dong and the others came out of the Pope's Palace and arrived at the place where Yu Tianshuang had fought with Thunder Rhino Douluo. They found that not only was the location the same, but it was also exactly the same as before. There was a large crowd of people, and almost everyone who should have come and shouldn't have come was there.

"No, what could I possibly be unhappy about? It's just that I feel it's unnecessary to make such a big fuss, right..."

For some reason, Yu Tianshuang felt that she lacked confidence in her speech today. Bibi Dong's arrangement of so many people to watch the battle had both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage was that, like herself, if she won, her fame would spread quickly, and the more people who witnessed it, the more it would affirm her strength and status. Of course, the disadvantage was that if Senior Sister Bing'er lost, she would inevitably leave others with the impression of being arrogant and conceited, which would definitely be a great blow to her future development and reputation.

"Tianshuang... what are you guys doing? What's wrong with your senior sister? Did you suggest it? I admit Shui Bing'er is strong, but she's not you. How could she possibly possess combat power comparable to Titled Douluo..."

Hu Liena and the others also received the notification. She was initially very happy, as she hadn't seen this rascal for so long and missed him terribly. However, upon hearing that it was because Shui Bing'er wanted to challenge Ling Yuan Douluo and become an elder of the Spirit Hall, she immediately felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"That's right, your senior sister isn't a freak like you. Although Ling Yuan Douluo is only among the weakest of the Titled Douluo, she's still Titled Douluo, and a fire-attribute Soul Master at that. Whether it's attribute advantage or Soul Power suppression, she's still..."

Yan pulled Xie Yue closer and, upon hearing Hu Liena's words, nodded in agreement. Their understanding of Shui Bing'er was still based on the Soul Master Tournament. Although Shui Bing'er was strong then, she was only a Soul Ancestor. At most, she was Soul Emperor like them now. How could she possibly be Titled Douluo, especially a fire-attribute Titled Douluo?

"Hey, what are you doing here? Doesn't the Spirit Hall care about you?"

Just as Yu Tianshuang was about to say something, he suddenly noticed that Bai Chenxiang, who was next to Hu Liena, was looking down, her small hands clutching the hem of her clothes, secretly observing him. He couldn't help but speak in surprise.

"Hey, what do you mean 'How did I get here?'? Don't you know how I got here? Seriously... I'm so angry... And yet, I..."

Bai Chenxiang, who had been somewhat hesitant, immediately became like a cat with its fur standing on end after hearing Yu Tianshuang's words. She put her hands on her hips and said angrily.

"Alright, wasn't Xiangxiang the one you brought back? Besides, she didn't do anything wrong. Our Spirit Hall isn't some evil organization. What, you want to lock her up? Okay, let's watch the match quietly. I'm going to have enough headaches from now on..."

Hu Liena looked at Shui Bing'er's confident expression in the arena. Even with so many people watching, she didn't show any fear or arrogance. In particular, when Shui Bing'er's sharp eyes, which seemed to look down on the world, slowly swept over the crowd and met Hu Liena's gaze, Hu Liena felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy after just a moment.

It was this look and posture that made her realize that this person was definitely not easy to get along with. She was completely different from Ye Lingling, a woman with a gentle and generous personality. This kind of woman had a very strong personality and a particularly strong desire for control. She was afraid that she would not be so comfortable in the future, and the pressure in her heart suddenly increased.

"My name is Lin Yuan, my Martial Soul Fire Ling Yuan Sparrow, I am a level 92 Power Attack System Titled Douluo, titled Ling Yuan."

After Ling Yuan Douluo entered the arena, she saw that Shui Bing'er seemed to completely disregard her. She understood why Bibi Dong had arranged for so many people to watch the match. For some reason, she felt a strong hostility towards this assertive woman. When she saw Shui Bing'er silently survey the audience and even slightly twitch the corners of her mouth, this sudden confidence made her feel uncomfortable. However, with so many people watching, she had no choice but to patiently announce her identity according to the etiquette of the battle, and then summon her Martial Soul. The standard Soul Ring Configuration appeared around her body.

"Shui Bing'er, Martial Soul Undying Ice Phoenix, Level 76 Control System Battle Soul Saint, please enlighten me, Senior Ling Yuan."

Upon hearing Ling Yuan Douluo's words, Shui Bing'er stopped scanning her surroundings and looked at her as she summoned her Martial Soul. Her already disdainful eyes deepened, and a slight upward curve appeared at the corner of her mouth as she slowly spoke.

Then something shocking happened: a phantom of a phoenix with an ice-blue body appeared behind her, letting out a fierce cry. Soul Ring Configuration of 1 purple, 5 black, and 1 red instantly appeared on Shui Bing'er's body. The oppressive feeling brought by the deep red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring silenced the noisy crowd instantly, and the temperature in the arena dropped sharply.

"How is that possible? Isn't Shui Bing'er only in her early twenties? Isn't she five years younger than us? How could she be Soul Saint, and a level 76 Soul Saint at that? And what the hell was that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring she had at the end? Besides that freak Yu Tianshuang, who else could possess Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring at this age..."

The sudden turn of events shocked the surrounding people the most, especially Hu Liena and the other two members of the so-called Spirit Hall Golden Generation. They never expected that in just five years, Shui Bing'er, who was once only a Soul Ancestor with a lower level than them, would now surpass them by an entire realm and become Soul Saint, and even possess Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

"I see. Based on my intelligence and my understanding of this little girl, she's not the arrogant type. A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring? Is that what gives you the confidence to look me in the eye? No, wait, there's even the aura of a god. Interesting, very interesting!"

As the successor to the Rakshasa God's Godhood, Bibi Dong sensed that familiar aura almost immediately after Shui Bing'er summoned her Martial Soul, and couldn't help but think more highly of Shui Bing'er.

"But that alone isn't enough to allow you to leap two entire realms and challenge Titled Douluo. Not everyone possesses Soul Power far exceeding that of other Soul Master of the same level, nor can everyone master the Ring Fusion technique."

Given Bibi Dong's relationship with Huo Wu, she already knew why Yu Tianshuang was able to defeat Thunder Rhino Douluo despite being of a higher level. It was simply because he possessed Soul Power comparable to Titled Douluo, and Huo Wu had taught him the Ring Fusion Technique. However, Shui Bing'er did not have these advantages.

"Little sister, your age, your level, and that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring truly surprise me. Perhaps in a few years, when you become Soul Douluo, you'll possess strength truly comparable to Titled Douluo. But today, if you think you can defeat me with just a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, I think you're still too naive. Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar; Eighth Soul Skill: Boiling Blood!"

Although Ling Yuan said that, she felt it the most deeply because she was in the arena. Just by summoning the aura of her Martial Soul, the temperature in the arena dropped sharply. Keep in mind that she was also present, which means that Shui Bing'er has the strength to suppress her. Therefore, she dared not be careless and directly used her Martial Soul Avatar and put on her amplified Soul Skill.

"Stop arguing. You've been Titled Douluo for so many years, yet your perception of power is still so superficial? Or are you just being stubborn? But it doesn't matter, it's not important."

Fifth Soul Skill: Ice Luan Totem, Ice Phoenix Domain Opens! Seventh Soul Skill: Phoenix True Body!

Upon seeing Ling Yuan Douluo unleash his Martial Soul Avatar, Shui Bing'er sneered and then waved her slender, fair hand. A totem carved with Ice Phoenix instantly appeared in the arena, causing the already plummeting temperature to drop even further. Then, she slightly raised her long, beautiful leg and gently stomped on the ground. Endless frost instantly spread from beneath her feet, quickly transforming the entire arena into a massive ice surface. As the Ice Phoenix Domain unfolded, the temperature in the arena plummeted again, almost breaking zero degrees Celsius.

"Rage!"

A phoenix cry resounded across the land. Shui Bing'er stood imposingly on the head of the Ice Phoenix, looked at the giant firebird opposite her, slowly raised her hand, and pointed a long, slender finger at Ling Yuan Douluo.

Third Soul Skill: Extreme Freezing Ray!

As the third black Soul Ring on Shui Bing'er's body lit up, a stream of icy blue Soul Power began to condense in the beak of the Ice Phoenix beneath her feet. It quickly spewed towards Ling Yuan's Martial Soul Avatar. The icy blue light pillar, as thick as a water bucket, was so powerful that it was unimaginable that such momentum and power was only Shui Bing'er's Third Soul Skill.

"This is unbelievable! It's actually Martial Soul Avatar with a true name! Aside from the Clear Sky Hammer and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, this is the first time I've ever seen another Martial Soul Avatar with a true name. Moreover, it even possesses Innate Domain! Ling Yuan is probably in trouble this time. Ice and fire are inherently mutually restraining. Previously, Ling Yuan could suppress Shui Bing'er with her Titled Douluo Soul Power, but now, this icy power can be felt even from this distance. This is Ultimate Power!"

Although Ling Yuan Douluo was Power Attack System Soul Master, her Martial Soul granted her greater agility and speed than other Power Attack System Soul Master. The icy blue beam of light, merely emitted from the mouth of the Ice Phoenix beneath Shui Bing'er's feet, already made her feel an icy chill. She almost instinctively wanted to dodge, but the pride of being Titled Douluo made her suppress the thought. She took a deep breath, and her Soul Power surged, igniting along with her and the Martial Soul Avatar beneath her feet.

Sixth Soul Skill: Kite Sparrow Scorching Shadow!

A Fire Sparrow, almost identical to her Martial Soul Avatar, appeared, then whistled, carrying flames and a strong wind, to meet the icy blue pillar of light.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."

When the Fire Sparrow, composed entirely of flames, collided with the pillar of ice-blue light, it instantly produced a series of sounds as solid ice melted. A large amount of water vapor also began to fill the area. Fortunately, the two were fighting in the air, and the evaporated water vapor dissipated upwards, so it did not obstruct the view of those around them.
