……

Upon seeing this, Zhu Wuneng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he no longer hesitated.

He shouted and slammed his nine-toothed rake heavily onto the ice with both hands!
"Heavenly Wheel Secret Technique - Prison Wheel!"

A massive, dark red magic circle instantly expanded from the rake's center, covering an area in front of him.

At the same time, his fourth spirit ring suddenly lit up—[Six Ding Divine Fire].

Six scorching blue flames, carrying the aura of incinerating everything, poured into the dark red magic circle beneath their feet.

In an instant, the dark red wheel that had resembled the entrance to hell suddenly burst forth with a ghostly blue light, and the blazing hellfire transformed into a tangible torrent, violently sweeping outwards.

The ice surface crackled and hissed under the terrifying heat.

The ice rapidly cracked and vaporized, sending up large plumes of white mist and filling the air with scorching water vapor.

The Chang'an team members, covered by this "prison wheel" domain, were naturally unharmed by the flames controlled by Zhu Wuneng.

However, the three assault team members from Tianshui who were in the middle of it were having a tough time.

Yu Moxi felt a surge of heat rising from the soles of his feet. The burning sensation, mixed with the suppression of his soul power, made him feel as if he were in a furnace, causing his movements to falter.

Gu Qingying's rapidly moving figure was momentarily slowed down by the sudden high temperature.

Shen Liujing frowned uncomfortably; the slippery mud formed by the melting ice and the omnipresent scorching heat greatly interfered with her high-speed movement.

If it weren't for the fact that the [Pure Lotus Fragrance Domain] increases attribute resistance, they would be in even more trouble.

Just as Zhu Wuneng's Hellfire exploded, restricting the three Tianshui vanguards, the control-type Soul King Yuzuru Hanyu made his move from the other side of the frozen arena.

He quickly formed hand seals in front of him, and icy soul power surged forth.

"Ice Prison Cage!"

Several crystal-clear ice cages, reflecting the ghostly blue flames and icy blue soul light, instantly rose from the ground, trapping Lian Shouzhong, Shen Youchu, and even Dugu Fu, who was entangled with Shen Liujing, inside.

The hard ice shards emitted a chilling aura, instantly isolating some of the heat waves from the hellfire.

Although the icicles melted rapidly within Zhu Wuneng's scorching "Prison Wheel" domain, dripping scalding icy water, they gained a precious moment.

In that instant, Yu Moxi and the other two, who were suffering from scorching heat and shortness of breath, were given a chance to catch their breath.

Just as Yuzuru Hanyu released the cage and Zhu Wuneng's hellfire engulfed the ice, Ma Liang, who was in mid-air, also completed his action.

The Nine Heavens Phoenix Martial Soul behind him shone brightly, and the immense soul power caused the phoenix to flap its wings and soar into the sky with a sharp cry.

Immediately afterwards, the phoenix exploded in the air, splitting into countless meteors burning with crimson flames—his fourth soul skill, [Phoenix Meteor Shower]!
Like golden raindrops, fiery meteors streaked across the chaotic battlefield, precisely striking the back row of Tianshui Academy—where Qiu Ruoyi, who was maintaining the Fragrant Domain, and Yuzuru Hanyu, who was using the Ice Mirror for crowd control, as well as Shui Binglan and Xue Qingwu, who had not yet made their move—and crashing down upon them.

The scorching heatwave, like a meteorite falling from the sky, instantly covered the entire rear of the Tianshui formation.

……

Just as Ma Liang's Phoenix Meteor Shower, with its scorching tail flames, crashed into the back row, Chen Xiaojun's gaze suddenly locked onto Shui Binglan and Xue Qingwu at the other end of the arena.

Their movements were strangely synchronized; their hands were clasped tightly together, and a huge, mysterious magic circle carved from ice and snow slowly appeared beneath their feet.

An indescribable chilling aura suddenly erupted from them.

This is a Martial Soul Fusion Skill – [Falling Snow and Ice]!
Soul Fusion Skills are extremely rare throughout the entire continent. This is the third one that the Chang'an team has encountered since they came from the preliminary rounds to the semi-finals.

The one in front of us is undoubtedly the most imposing of them all.

More importantly, judging from the speed at which the two began to merge, they were clearly gathering their strength at the very beginning of the battle, or even before the battle started.

This is unusual.

As an environmental elemental soul master, Xue Qingwu should have been able to use wide-range snow-type soul skills to neutralize Ma Liang's meteor shower or Zhu Wuneng's flames, just like she did before when she changed the arena environment.

However, they chose to directly use the fusion technique, which consumes more energy and takes longer to release.

The intention is obvious—to achieve a quick victory.

The longer it drags on, the greater the variables that the Soul Kings of Chang'an might bring, given their profound resources and Chen Xiaojun Xiaoyi's extraordinary strength.

They must use this earth-shattering blow to secure victory while their soul power is still abundant.

The effect of "Snowflakes Falling" is amazing.

Extremely low temperatures instantly filled the entire arena, freezing and shattering even the air itself.

It wasn't a frozen solid, but a frigid domain capable of completely annihilating the vitality of all things. The effect was immediate.

The "Prison Wheel" domain that Zhu Wuneng was trying his best to maintain, as well as the blazing Six Ding Divine Fire, were gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand. The flames rapidly dimmed and withered in the biting cold, and finally let out a reluctant hiss. The flames were frozen into leaping, dark blue ice sculptures, which then shattered inch by inch, turning into ice crystal powder.

Even the "Prison Wheel" magic circle beneath his feet was instantly covered in frost, its dark red luster swallowed by paleness.

In mid-air, the Phoenix meteor shower, which seemed destined to fall, encountered an invisible and viscous wall of extreme cold when it was still a dozen meters away from the back row of Tianshui.

The meteor shower burning with golden flames was forcefully pushed away and swept away by an overwhelming cold wave. The golden flames quickly extinguished and dimmed in the low temperature, like a swarm of frozen fireflies, which were thrown and scattered uncontrollably.

The temperature of the entire arena was plummeting to extremely low levels.

The water vapor evaporated by Zhu Wuneng's hellfire, the moisture in the air, and even the dust that was stirred up, all froze instantly, condensing into countless tiny ice crystal fragments.

The ice crystals shimmered with a faint, cold light under the stadium lights, like millions of crushed stardust suspended in a low-temperature cage.

Visibility became blurry and dangerous.

Although the Chang'an team members had prepared intelligence in advance and had some expectations for such extreme low temperatures, being in it personally still made them feel the biting cold as if countless fine needles were drilling into their bone marrow, and the flow of blood and soul power became extremely sluggish.

Thankfully, Chen Xiaojun chose the right lineup today: Lian Shouzhong's diamond armor has a built-in defensive isolation effect, Shen Youchu's Azure Tide Sword has water attribute, Dugu Fu has taken the Ice and Fire Grade 9 treasure medicine, and the Fire Cloud Frost Palm itself involves the conversion of ice and fire, so his adaptability to cold air is relatively high, and although Zhu Wuneng's soul skill was broken, his fire-type soul power can still protect him to some extent... If it were any other attribute, he would probably be having difficulty moving at this moment.

Xiao Yi stood a little further back, her silver-gray hair shimmering with a hint of green.

She pressed her palms down on the ground, and a pure and powerful life force, like an invisible spring, gushed out and quietly covered the feet of her teammates.

The warmth dispelled some of the bone-chilling stiffness in the Chang'an team members' bodies, and their soul power flowed more smoothly, allowing them to maintain a basic fighting stance in the increasingly viscous cold wave and withstand the more ferocious ice crystal attacks from the opposing side due to the sudden change in environment.

However, this is by no means a long-term solution.

The low temperature and the cutting of ice crystals were constantly consuming their soul power and physical strength, as if they were in an invisible millstone.

Just then, Chen Xiaojun made a move.

His body felt like a furnace was being activated, and the Nine Yang Divine Skill was rapidly circulating, with the vast and scorching pure Yang power surging and roaring between his eight extraordinary meridians.

That force did not stop at protecting itself internally, but rather, like a long-suppressed volcano finding an outlet.

A deep hum resounded, as if a miniature sun had been born in the mortal world.

A perfectly round pearl, burning with pure golden flames and radiating endless light and heat, slowly rose from above Chen Xiaojun's head—the Sun God Pearl!
The precious pearl hovered three feet above Chen Xiaojun's head, and its gentle yet incredibly domineering golden light poured down instantly, like the sun shining down.

Wherever the light reached, the countless ice crystal fragments suspended in the air, like deadly stardust, emitted a faint "sizzling" sound as they rapidly melted and vaporized.

The air barrier, frozen and viscous by the low temperature, quietly softened and disintegrated under the caress of this sacred and warm sunlight.

The frozen world encountered the sun.

Like a furnace, it carved out a temporary haven of light and warmth in this desolate, snow-covered wasteland.

The terrifying chill that had enveloped the entire area was instantly forced back by a large margin!

Even at the edge of the fusion technique domain maintained by Lian Shui Bing Lan and Xue Qing Wu, the extreme cold power that was constantly condensing ice crystals was forcibly suppressed by this "artificial sun" to curb its expansion.

His eyes were sharp as swords, staring directly at the two icy figures that had merged into one at the heart of the ice and snow.

With pure Yang, it breaks through extreme cold.

……

The sight caused Shui Binglan's gaze to darken, a sharp glint flashing in her calm, icy eyes.

After Chen Xiaojun made several attempts, everyone gradually matched his appearance with the image in the records.

Although opinions differ, everyone knows the baseline of Chen Xiaojun's cultivation level, so Shui Binglan was mentally prepared for the possibility that Chen Xiaojun would come up with a new method to break the area damage of Bingxue Piaoling.

"Let's strike," she whispered.

She was referring to the second stage of the Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

Beside her, Xue Qingwu's delicate snow-white soul power suddenly contracted, intersecting with her icy power in a more intimate way.

Above their heads, the illusory image of the Water Phoenix, which had been vaguely floating in the vortex as the core of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, suddenly became clearer.

The immense soul power surrounding them, drawn by an invisible suction force, was frantically collapsing and pouring into the phantom of the flying phoenix!
As the cold current tightened, the form of the flying phoenix rapidly solidified, expanded, and changed—its feathers, made of ice crystals, became sharper and clearer, its tail feathers stretched out like magnificent tassels, and the crest on its head displayed majestic angles. Its entire figure exuded an elegant yet chilling majesty.

In the blink of an eye, the Water-Condensing Flying Phoenix completed its leap to a higher level, transforming into an Ice Phoenix with astonishing wingspan.

The Ice Crystal Snow Phoenix lineage of the nine ancient phoenixes.
