……

Yuzuru Hanyu's eyes narrowed.

Without the slightest hesitation, he formed a complex hand seal in front of his chest, and the ice-type soul power wrapped around his fingertips suddenly became intensely fiery. At the same time, his face turned pale—[Mysterious Soul Blood Summoning]!
This is the Yuzuru family's most treasured secret technique, which involves sacrificing a significant amount of one's own soul power and blood in a short period of time in order to forcibly enhance the analytical and load-bearing limits of the Ice Mirror Martial Soul.

A streak of bright red blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, standing out starkly against the backdrop of the snowy landscape.

Unlike Oscar's food-type soul skill, which requires external blood as a production medium, the "blood" here refers to the internal consumption of the Yuzuru family's bloodline secret technique.

Oscar's Mirror Image Sausage is considered to be heaven-defying because it can copy the ninth soul skill of a Title Douluo with a mere 20,000-year soul ring. This is largely due to the special talent of the "Mirror Image" soul beast itself and the inclusive rules of food-type soul skills in "creation".

However, this inclusiveness also has its limits—for example, it can only copy the martial soul and soul skills of a single soul master, and cannot support the martial soul fusion skills of multiple soul masters.

The reason may lie in the limitations of its own "food" system mechanism.

Yuzuru Hanyu is different.

He is a traditional control-type Soul Master. His copying ability stems from the original compatibility between his Martial Soul and the Mirror Beast Soul Ring, and is further enhanced by the secret techniques passed down in his family.

The process of replication is more like a "mapping", "simulation" and "calling" of the original power, rather than "manufacturing".

Although it was nearly impossible for him to copy the ninth soul skill of a Title Douluo with a ten-thousand-year soul ring, there was a sliver of hope to copy the "Ice Phoenix," a martial soul fusion skill jointly constructed by two Soul Kings, after paying a heavy price, burning his blood essence, and relying on his family's secret techniques.

The enormous Ice Soul Condensation Mirror stabilized abruptly under the enhancement of the secret technique, its surface becoming more subdued and profound.

The light and shadow of the ice phoenix reflected inside it also changed from ethereal to solid, and its form, details, and even the chilling will that froze the space were all imprinted.

"Wow—!"

Accompanied by a sharp phoenix cry that was almost identical to the original and resounded through the clouds, another giant ice phoenix, constructed of pure ice energy, with its wings spread and its chilling majesty that seemed to freeze everything, burst out of the ice mirror!
Its flapping wings caused a sudden drop in temperature across the entire stadium!
As soon as the second ice phoenix appeared, its cold phoenix eyes locked onto Chen Xiaojun and Xiaoyi, who were working together to support the star map below.

Without the slightest hesitation, it spread its wings, carrying a destructive icy blue chill, its claws sharp and its beak pointed straight down, swooping down fiercely towards the two of them—not the star map above their heads where they were battling the first ice phoenix!
As the two phoenixes descended into the sky, their chilling power intensified. Chen Xiaojun and Xiaoyi instantly felt an even more intense cold that penetrated to their very bones, causing them to instinctively tremble slightly!

……

On the high platform to the south, Shui Rong, who had been calm and composed all along, had a fleeting, almost imperceptible glint in his eyes the moment Yuzuru Hanyu unleashed the [Mysterious Soul Blood Guidance] secret technique.

Prince Xue Jiqing, who was standing beside him, also sat up straight, his eyes gleaming: "The Xuanpo Blood Guide of the Yusheng family... is indeed a rare sight."

"Once this technique is used, the ice mirror reflects the soul skill almost identically."

"It seems the outcome will be decided in the next moment."

Zuo Tinggang looked at the second ice phoenix taking off and exclaimed in a low voice, "What a formidable family of Yu Sheng! They are indeed not to be underestimated."

"The power of this replicated ice phoenix seems to be almost as great as that of the original."

"Chang'an is in grave danger."

……

They focused all their energy on maintaining the Big Dipper diagram to resist the attack of the first ice phoenix, the bone-chilling cold making them shiver slightly.

Just then, a sturdy figure suddenly appeared in front of Chen Xiaojun and Xiaoyi, firmly blocking the second ice phoenix that was swooping down.

It's Zhu Wuneng!

Without any unnecessary movements, he opened his eyes wide, lifted his left foot sharply, and stomped heavily on the smooth ice surface.

The moment his left leg landed, a deep, earth-yellow phantom of a soul bone, imbued with the power of the earth, flashed past his leg.

Immediately afterwards, a thick yellow light suddenly shone from beneath his feet—left leg bone soul skill activated!
"The Five Sacred Mountains will suppress the universe!"

Boom! An invisible force field, as solid as a mountain, suddenly spread out.

In the sky, five miniature mountain peaks instantly materialized. Although these five peaks were not large in size, each of them exuded an aura of immense weight.

This is precisely the skill granted by his inherited soul bone—the 6.2 Zhenyue left leg bone—making up for Zhu Wuneng's lack of control skills.

It came from the Crystal Gang Rock Elephant Ancient King, and was redeemed by Zhu Yanfeng after the battle in Xieluo Mountain.

Five illusory mountain peaks descended from the sky like five pillars supporting the heavens, instantly suppressing the rapidly diving ice phoenix's body and wings.

"Ow—!"

The ice phoenix let out an angry, shrill cry, but its descent was as if it had crashed into an invisible wall of sighs made of the earth.

Each illusory mountain peak exerts approximately 20% gravity suppression.

The combined influence of the Five Sacred Mountains directly impacted its massive ice crystal body, causing its originally lightning-fast dive to visibly slow down and become heavier.

Its magnificent ice-crystal wings were forced to flap wildly, but it was as if it were struggling in a viscous torrent of metal.

This was just the beginning. Zhu Wuneng's movements did not falter in the slightest.

His fifth spirit ring erupted with a deep, dark blue light—his fifth spirit skill, [Three Thousand Weak Waters]!
The immense water-attribute soul power surged forth like a river bursting its banks.

At the same time, the nine-toothed rake in his hand hummed and vibrated, and a huge magic circle with a dark blue tone, completely different from the previous "Prison Wheel", suddenly bloomed from the ice surface below the tip of the rake.

This is the water-attribute chapter of the "Heavenly Wheel Secret Technique"—[Sea Wheel]!
The second azure magic circle lit up immediately after the first.

Two enormous, azure magic circles overlapped and rotated, unleashing an astonishing suction force!

The water in the ditches around the edge of the arena was forcibly reversed and lifted into the air by this force, like twisted water snakes, converging and merging, and finally transforming into a terrifying wave tens of meters high, driven entirely by soul power!
These waves are no ordinary waters; deep within their surge, churns a highly concentrated, eerily blue mercury-blue liquid—the very essence of the [Three Thousand Weak Waters], the Weak Water Pearl!

The "Sea Wheel" and the "Three Thousand Weak Waters" are a perfect match, similar to the combination of the Prison Wheel and the Six Ding Divine Fire.

The "sea vessel" unleashes a mighty and powerful tide, while the "Three Thousand Weak Waters" endow this towering wave with the filthy qualities of eroding soul power and absorbing energy.

At this moment, the two merged into one, and the huge mercury-blue wave, like the claw of a giant beast from the deep sea, smashed down with immense force towards the second ice phoenix, which had already been firmly suppressed by "Five Mountains Suppressing Heaven and Earth"!

This cloned ice phoenix possesses astonishing power approaching the peak of the mid-stage Soul Saint realm, and its own weight is extremely terrifying.

The fivefold gravity exerted by "Five Sacred Mountains Suppressing Heaven and Earth" combined with its own weight had already made it unbearable.

At this moment, coupled with the gravitational field generated by the [Sea Wheel], which is enough to distort the trajectory of space (although it can only amplify the Ice Phoenix's body by more than two times, the total amount is already extremely terrifying), it is equivalent to the Ice Phoenix instantly bearing a burden of three times its own weight.

The terrifying gravity made even flapping its wings as difficult as moving a boulder.

At the same time, the mercury-blue giant wave, containing the essence of "three thousand weak waters," relentlessly crashed against its body.

The immense water pressure and physical impact caused its ice crystal body to vibrate violently, producing a cracking sound as it struggled under the strain.

But even more deadly were those mercury-blue liquids—like living venomous snakes, they frantically clung to the smooth energy surface of the Ice Phoenix, greedily sucking and eroding the vast ice-attribute energy that constituted its body.

The high-frequency oscillating water flow, coupled with the corrosive properties of the weak water constantly stripping away soul power, caused the Ice Phoenix's enormous body to tremble and shake violently in the air. The ice crystals on its surface frantically alternated between shattering and condensing, trying to resist the pressure from both inside and outside, but with little effect.

In an instant, the cloned ice phoenix, which had been charging menacingly towards Chen Xiaojun and Xiaoyi, was forcibly pinned in mid-air.

The massive ice mass was shrouded in a heavy gravitational field, the dark blue waves, and the corrosive mercury-blue weak water, rendering it immobile.

Its soul power is leaking away, and the high-frequency vibrations are constantly damaging the stability of the ice phoenix's structure.

Zhu Wuneng's desperate attack blocked the fatal second phoenix for Chen Xiaojun and Xiaoyi!

The chilling air on the arena continued to rage, but the angry cries of the ice phoenix and Zhu Wuneng's heavy breathing intertwined, creating a brief but thrilling stalemate.

……

In VIP room number 22, a fleeting look of surprise crossed Zhong Feng's eyes.

Yang Guisan, standing beside him, leaned forward slightly, his gaze falling on Zhu Wuneng: "The suppression of the leg bone and the gravity, combined with the resulting confinement and structural damage, along with that strange water-based erosion technique... this Zhu family lad has indeed delivered a brilliant move."

Yue Qiansong's tone was solemn: "That kid from the Zhu family has quite a few tricks up his sleeve... That clone of Yu Sheng is trapped. You guys in Chang'an are indeed very resilient."

Wang Wei glanced at him, but didn't reply, continuing to watch.

……

The Ice Phoenix was forcibly trapped in mid-air by Zhu Wuneng. Under the triple pressure and the erosion of the Weak Water, it let out a series of painful cries. Its huge ice crystal body withered and shrank at a visible speed, and the icy luster flowing around it dimmed considerably.

At this moment, a crimson figure finally adjusted its state and soared back into the sky.

It's Ma Liang.

Bloodstains remained at the corner of his mouth from the earlier injury caused by the Ice Phoenix's oppressive aura, but his eyes were as sharp as ever, fixed on the struggling giant ice bird.

He did not choose the Phoenix Heavenly Blade, one of the four most familiar skills of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

He knew very well that against an energy aggregate of this level, the Heavenly Blade's strikes would be unlikely to shake its core, and might even result in injury from the freezing cold.

Without the slightest hesitation, he suddenly raised his right arm, his muscles tensed, and seven rainbow-like cracks suddenly lit up the bone of his right arm under his sleeve.

The light was like seven living ribbons of color, flowing across the surface of his arm and converging in front of his fist.

"Neon Ashes Piercing the Sky Calamity!"

With a deep shout, seven rainbow lights instantly condensed, twisted, and shaped in front of his fist.

A phantom phoenix beak, composed of pure seven-colored light and twisted in a spiral, appeared out of thin air with a shriek that seemed to tear through the void.

This is the 6.4-yuan right arm bone, one of the complete set of inherited soul bones of the Ma family, from the Phoenix subspecies [Earth Vein Fusion Phoenix].
