Just at the moment when the devastating incandescent fireball was about to pass by, where Shui Bing'er had originally stood and in the fan-shaped area in front of the fireball's impact path, several feet of solid ice flashing with cold metallic light instantly rose from the ground! It was like a huge ice wall appeared out of thin air, or like waves that were frozen instantly.
Boom! ! !
The incandescent fireball hit the ice wall hard! The deafening sound of explosions swept through the entire martial arts arena. Dazzling red and white light flashed, and countless broken ice cubes mixed with water that was evaporated into white vapor, like detonated bomb fragments, shot out in all directions!
The ice vaporized instantly under the extreme high temperature, and was torn apart again by the subsequent flame energy, forming a chaotic ice and fire storm! A vast white mist suddenly filled the air, accompanied by scorching heat waves and biting ice shards.
Yan missed the hit, his body was slightly stunned by the recoil of the explosion, and the flames in his eyes became more intense. He clearly saw that behind the diffuse ice mist and steam, Shui Bing'er's figure was as erratic as a ghost. Her ice-blue eyes looked at her calmly through the chaotic energy flow, as if she could predict his every move.
"Enjoyable!" Yan's fighting spirit became even more intense. He took a sharp breath, his chest bulged high, and the red flames all over his body suddenly collapsed inward, as if all the light and heat were sucked into the core of his body! A heart-stopping energy gathered crazily in his mouth.
This is exactly the soul skill he just opened from the blind box – super flame!
"Second soul skill! Ice ring armor!" Shui Binger screamed, and the second purple soul ring radiated light. Countless crystal-clear hexagonal ice crystals condensed out of thin air, and instantly combined and covered her body surface, forming a body-hugging ice crystal armor with magnificent cold light flowing through it. At the same time, her hands danced rapidly in front of her, creating a misty ice-blue trail.
"The third soul skill, resist the ice ring!"
At the moment when the super flame in Yankou was about to spit out, the third purple soul ring in front of Shui Bing'er suddenly lit up to the extreme! A huge, azure blue ice ring that was as solid as ten thousand years of ice, with overwhelming repulsive power, centered on her, exploded in all directions!
The ice ring is expanding faster than visual capture! What it contains is not just a pure impact, but also a powerful force of repulsion!
Yan only felt an irresistible, cold and huge force hitting her chest hard! The super flame attack he was preparing to launch was abruptly interrupted and pushed aside by this sudden and terrifying repulsive force! He felt as if he had been hit head-on by an invisible siege hammer. He groaned, and the rocks under his feet cracked inch by inch under the huge force. His body slid backwards uncontrollably, plowing out two deep, charred ditches!
The super flame that had accumulated to its peak and was about to erupt lost its precise direction guidance and turned into an out-of-control torrent, blasting diagonally towards the empty space dozens of meters behind Shui Bing'er!
"Cough!" Yan forced himself to steady his body, the blood in his chest surged, and he suppressed the burning pain caused by the backlash of his soul skills. He looked at the huge lava pit that was far away from the target, and a feeling of depression and anger rushed to the top of his head. He clearly had stronger soul power and more domineering soul skills, but he was neutralized by the opponent's exquisite control!
“It’s not over yet!” Yan roared angrily, completely giving up the idea of fine control, and pushed the violent power of the Fire Lord’s spirit to the extreme. He beat his chest crazily with both fists, making a loud noise like a drum. With each strike, the red flames on his body surged by one point, and the color became darker and darker, turning towards dark red. The high temperature distorted the surrounding space for tens of meters.
"The third soul skill! Hell's flames!"
Boom! boom! boom! boom!
He poured out the violent flame soul power without any reservation! A stream of dark red energy as thick as a water tank, as hot and sticky as a column of magma and fire, burst out from different angles on his body, like a volcano erupting at the same time! These pillars of fire were not precise strikes, but with devastating coverage, violently sweeping and plowing through all the spaces Shui Bing'er could dodge! The entire martial arts arena instantly turned into a churning flame purgatory, the air was burned to a crackling sound, and only twisted dark red and scorching heat remained in the field of vision!
Shui Bing'er's figure quickly shuttled and dodged in the gap between the violent fire pillars, and the ice ring armor made an overwhelmed and subtle cracking sound under the extreme high temperature. But there was no trace of panic in her eyes.
This is the moment!
She keenly captured the tiny gap in the connection of Yan's soul power after he exploded with all his strength! At the moment when the overwhelming wave of fire pillars subsided slightly, Shui Bing'er's figure appeared on the side of the martial arts arena as if teleporting. Her hands formed an extremely complicated and mysterious ice seal on her chest, and the coldness all over her body suddenly surged! The ice chips, cold air, and the huge amount of water vapor evaporated by the high temperature that originally filled the field but had not completely dissipated, seemed to be ordered by the king, and gathered crazily towards her hands!
"Ice Explosion!"
Shui Bing'er's cold voice was like ice crystals breaking, clearly penetrating the roar of the flames.
Hum——!
She suddenly pushed her hands in the direction of Yan!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a strange hum that froze the soul!
All the free water vapor evaporated by the flames, the diffuse ice crystal dust, and even the water molecules contained in the air itself were given the terrifying "explosion" command at this moment! Countless tiny ice crystals, regardless of size or location, were detonated at the same time!
chichichichichi——!
Within the field of vision, the space seemed to be twisted and torn apart by an invisible force! Countless tiny ice explosions occurred at the same time, converging into a scalp-numbing horrifying sound, like billions of glass being crushed at the same time!
Stop...stop! Stop Bingtuozi! I give up! ” Yan hurriedly stopped the sparring.
The buzzing sound of the ice explosion seemed to be cut off by an invisible hand and disappeared instantly. The extremely cold white fog that filled the whole place and spread dead silence quickly dissipated and settled like an ebbing tide. In the center of the martial arts arena, Shui Bing'er maintained the posture of pushing out the ice seal, her face looked paler than usual, and her breathing was a little short. She slowly retracted her hands, and the heart-stopping coldness around her body also subsided, and the ice ring armor turned into dots of blue light and dissipated. The temperature of the martial arts arena began to rise slowly, leaving only lava pits, cracked frozen soil, and steaming white gas all over the ground.
Yan took a heavy breath and stood up on the hot ground, slapping away the condensed frost and dust on his body. There were still small cuts cut by ice chips and the purple color of frostbite on his exposed skin. He looked at Shui Bing'er opposite, whose breath was only slightly chaotic but still as cold as ever. His face was burning, and he didn't know whether it was from the cold or from being ashamed.
“Tsk!” Yan rubbed his messy red hair vigorously and stared at Shui Bing’er with complicated eyes. His tone was full of sourness and unbelievable embarrassment, “It’s only been a few days since the blind box was opened, and you, the ice lump, have become so powerful? It’s simply unreasonable!”
He pointed at the huge lava pits on the ground and the traces of cold air that had not completely dissipated: "The quality of your martial soul is already a little higher than that of my Fire Lord, and the age of the soul ring has also been increased... What's even more outrageous is the ice element. The affinity is 20%!" Yan's voice increased, "The affinity for the ice element is 20%! Do you know what this means? Your ice attribute is almost fucking close to the ultimate ice! Coupled with that sinister ice blast... God, how can you fight this?"
The more Yan spoke, the more frustrated he became. He kicked away a piece of frozen gravel beside his feet and scratched his head dejectedly: "My soul power is several levels higher than yours, but this... this feeling is completely useless! Shameful, so shameful!" He sighed heavily, with strong unwillingness and desire in his eyes, "Unless...unless I can also get out of the blind box. Another fire element affinity increase! It's only 10% now. If it can reach 50%... no, even 40%! My flames will definitely touch the edge of the ultimate fire! Damn it, after all, it's still the quality of the martial soul. Your starting point is too high, and now it's almost touching the ceiling!"
He waved his hands irritably, as if to wave away all these troubles: "Stop talking, stop talking! The more you talk, the angrier you get! I'm going back to meditate! Next time...next time, I must do something big!" Yan lowered his head, like a defeated flaming rooster, and walked out of the martial arts arena dejectedly.
Shui Bing'er was the only one left in the huge venue. She gently exhaled a breath of white breath filled with ice crystals, and looked at Yan's disappearing back. There was no pride in her ice-blue eyes, but a trace of thought flashed across her eyes. Ultimate ice? The improvement brought by blind boxes is indeed beyond imagination.
…
The next morning.
When the young man with short flowing silver hair and a habitual, carefree and cynical smile on his face appeared at the door, everyone was stunned.
「Feng Xiaotian?」
"Good morning, everyone!" Feng Xiaotian's smile was still cheerful, but there was a hint of solemnity and determination hidden deep in his eyes.
"Brother Xiaotian, have you thought this through clearly?" Xie Yue asked.
Feng Xiaotian took a deep breath, suppressed his smile, and his expression became extremely serious. He bowed slightly to Ling Ye and other people in the hall: "Ling Ye, everyone, I, Feng Xiaotian, have decided to officially join Wuhun Hall! From today on, together with you all,肩！」
「什么？！」焱猛地站直了身体，眼珠子差点瞪出来，「你加入武魂殿？那炽火学院那边…火舞妹妹呢？」他可是知道风笑天对火舞那点心思的，简直跟写在脸上一样。
Speaking of Huo Wu, Feng Xiaotian's free and easy smile was finally tainted with a hint of helplessness and bitterness. He shrugged, and his tone was a bit self-deprecating: "I am a lonely person, born as a commoner, without the heavy baggage of a family academy, so I can come here when I want." He paused, and his voice became lower. "As for the Huo Wu brothers and sisters... they are the children of the dean of Blazing Academy after all, and they are the brand and future of Blazing Fire. Let them get away from Blazing Fire." Enter the Spirit Hall?" Feng Xiaotian shook his head with a lonely smile, "It's impossible. Blazing Fire is their root."
He sighed heavily, with a mixture of youthful regret and realistic sobriety: "What a pity...I'm afraid it will be even harder to see sister Huo Wu in the future." This was half true, and the regret was true, but his determination to join the Spirit Hall obviously outweighed this regret. The almost miraculous power of the blind box is too tempting for people like him who long to become stronger!
"To open the blind box?" Xie Yue's voice sounded clear and cold, hitting the nail on the head.
Feng Xiaotian nodded calmly, without any hesitation, and the fiery light rekindled in his eyes: "Yes! That magical power... is worthy of my making this choice!"
"Oh?" Ling Ye, who was sitting at the main seat, suddenly spoke, with no trace of emotion on his face, but a slow and steady expression. After taking a sip of milk, he put down the cup and looked at Feng Xiaotian with his overly calm black eyes, "Since you have joined, you are one of our own. Just in time, I gained a little from practicing last night..."
He stretched out his white and tender little hand, palm upward, and a soft and mysterious halo slowly emerged and rotated, like a star gestating. In the halo, the bright starlight began to condense and compress, gradually turning into palm-sized cubes filled with dense mist and mysterious runes - blind boxes!
One, two, three... a total of twenty blind boxes with alluring luster, as if held by invisible hands, suspended in front of Ling Ye, exuding ecstatic fluctuations.
Ling Ye's eyes fell on Feng Xiaotian, and his tone was as calm as stating the facts: "Newcomers, let's drive first. After all..." He tilted his little head, as if he was considering the words, and finally uttered a word that made Feng Xiaotian's mouth twitch slightly, "...You have the lowest soul power, and you are the worst. Let me help you improve first."
Pfft!
Yan and Hu Liena next to them couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing. Looking at Feng Xiaotian's expression that instantly froze, they winked with gloating. The corners of Xie Yue's mouth curved almost imperceptibly. Shui Bing'er was still cold, but there seemed to be a faint smile passing through her eyes.
Feng Xiaotian: "..." He felt that his chest was accurately hit by an invisible small arrow! vegetable? He was the first person in the younger generation of Shenfeng Academy, the possessor of the two-headed wolf spirit of Gale, which was full of innate spirit power. He was actually called "the worst" by a baby in front of his face? But...thinking that the magical blind box was made by him, Feng Xiaotian opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute a word, so he could only silently swallow a mouthful of old blood.
Alright, it’s all about food! As long as you can open the blind box, you can say you are my father!
Feng Xiaotian took a deep breath, stretched out his slightly trembling hands, and touched the blind box like they did yesterday.
Buzz!
The blind box opened in response! A soft white light flowed out and instantly disappeared into Feng Xiaotian's body.
A warm current surged through my limbs and bones. It was very comfortable. My soul power had indeed solidified and grown a bit.
"Uh..." Feng Xiaotian felt it, his expression was a little subtle, "The soul power...has been increased by one level?" From level 28 to level 29. Being on stage in person is even more shocking than being in the audience yesterday!
"That's right, mosquito legs are also meat!" Yan joked with a smile on his face, folding his arms.
This kind of reward for improving one level of soul power is no longer strange.
