Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 248: Snow and Ice
……

"But sister, when he fought against Blazing Fire Academy, you seemed to be stunned too, didn't you?" Shui Yue'er whispered.

Shui Bing'er's expression froze. "I was looking at his moves. Do you think I'm like you?"

"Really? But he had already finished fighting and was walking back, and you were still watching him..."

"Ok?"

"Sister, I was wrong!"

"..."

Amid cheers from tens of thousands of spectators, the teams slowly took to the stage. The Royal Fighting Team remained in the center of the arena, as this team was extremely popular, not only because of their strength, but also because, apart from the captain, all the members of the team were girls.

Women fighting is already captivating, let alone a group of women fighting.

Now, their opponent, Tianshui Academy, is composed entirely of women.

In a sense, this is also the most anticipated match since the start of the season.

Stepping onto the central arena, the two teams, at the direction of the host DouDou, arrived at the center of the arena. They stood in separate rows, with XuanMing as the captain, facing ShuiBingEr.

Upon first approaching Xuanming, Shui Bing'er immediately felt immense pressure, not from soul power or martial soul, but purely from a fear stemming from biological instinct!

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, trying her best to calm herself down. She looked up at Xuan Ming and bowed slightly. "Shui Bing'er, captain of the Tianshui Academy team, level 43 control-type battle spirit master."

Xuanming was slightly taken aback, not expecting the other party to be so polite. As a top student of Yuexuan, he naturally could not remain indifferent. He also lowered his head slightly, but he did not speak directly. Instead, he transmitted his voice: "Xuanming, level 63 offensive type battle soul master."

"..."

Shui Bing'er was stunned, staring at Xuan Ming's calm eyes with disbelief.

Level 63?!
Xuan Ming, who is over 1.9 meters tall, and Shui Bing'er, who is about 1.65 meters tall, looked at each other. The huge height difference looked strangely harmonious.

However, seeing the two people who inexplicably started staring at each other from different heights, the members of both teams cast strange glances at them.

"Captain, didn't you say not to be infatuated with someone?" Xue Wu gently tugged at Shui Bing'er, who was lost in thought, and whispered.

Shui Bing'er came to her senses, and her feelings immediately became extremely complicated.

She didn't question whether Xuanming was trying to scare her. It was basic etiquette for Soul Masters to announce their names and ranks to each other. In those wild Soul Arenas, there might be instances of misreporting, but in this kind of situation, it was absolutely impossible!
But level 63?
"Shui Yue'er, a level 36 agility-attack type battle spirit master." Standing on the other side of Shui Bing'er, a girl who looked somewhat similar to her, seeing that her older sister was also swooning, took the initiative to introduce herself.

Seeing this, Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong, who were standing on either side of Xuan Ming, frowned slightly. Almost subconsciously, the two of them reached out and grabbed Xuan Ming's arms, pulling him towards their own position amidst the strange looks of the crowd.

DouDou paused for a moment, then coughed twice. "Please release your martial spirits."

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, barely calming herself down, and directed the Tianshui team into battle formation.

"What were you looking at with her just now? Did you hit it off?" Ning Rongrong glared at Xuan Ming angrily.

"This is a competition, how could you do this?"

Xuanming was speechless. "What the hell are you looking at?"

Ning Rongrong snorted softly, as if asserting her dominance, and wrapped her arm around Xuan Ming's arm, raising her chin and glaring at Shui Bing'er opposite her.

However, Shui Bing'er was still in a complicated mood and didn't notice Ning Rongrong's little actions at all.

She was even considering whether to forfeit the competition like the Shrek team did.

No wonder the atmosphere was like that after Blazing Academy was defeated; there was no resentment, but rather lingering fear!
She now understood what those people were afraid of!

If Xuanming takes this seriously, the Blazing Fire team will suffer heavy losses, and this tournament will basically come to an end.

They are the same!
"Boys, get ready! The match begins!"

As soon as the host DouDou gave the order, Shui Bing'er came to her senses, and her first soul ring lit up. A flash of icy blue light appeared, and almost at the same time, Dugu Yan also released a burst of green poisonous mist, which pressed down on the Tianshui team.

At the same time, Xue Wu, the support-type Soul Master at the back of the Tianshui team, also started to move. However, she danced in place, her four Soul Rings flashing alternately, and circles of blue light spread out. A dark cloud quickly appeared above the center of the Soul Arena. As the front rows of both sides clashed, large raindrops fell, turning into a large curtain of water.

As the rain fell, it instantly intertwined with Dugu Yan's poisonous mist, emitting a hissing sound. The poisonous mist was diluted by the rain, greatly reducing its power, while the rainwater, contaminated by the poisonous mist, became somewhat murky, but it still enveloped the Royal Fighting Team.

"Damn it!" Dugu Yan's expression changed, and she immediately stopped releasing the poisonous mist.

The poisonous mist was diluted by the rain and then frozen, rendering her deadly poison completely ineffective! As a control-type Soul Master, Dugu Yan had utterly lost in the matter of control.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuena and Xiao Wu, who were in charge of the main attack, were greatly hampered by Shui Bing'er's continuous freezing. Zhu Zhuqing, in particular, was repeatedly frozen, and despite their superior strength, the three of them were suppressed by the opponent.

Because Shui Bing'er's Ice Seal Soul Skill is extremely ruthless. Not only is it instantaneous, but once the mind locks on, it will directly affect the target, making it impossible to dodge and ensuring that the target will be frozen. Coupled with the increasingly cold rain, even Gu Yuena found it difficult to cope.

"The Nine Treasures manifest as crystal, and each of the Nine Treasures has a name: First, Power! Second, Speed! Fourth, Defense!"

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong released the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda without hesitation, and several dazzling rays of light instantly enveloped Gu Yuena, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing.

The boosts to strength, speed, and defense instantly enhanced their power, turning their previously disadvantageous situation of being frozen into a completely different one.

The members of the Tianshui team, who had just managed to hold off Gu Yuena and her two companions, were quickly forced back. Gu Yuena, wielding the Silver Dragon Spear, charged directly at Shui Bing'er.

Faced with Gu Yuena's swift and fierce attack, Shui Bing'er knew that there was no way to avoid it. Her second and third soul rings flashed one after another, and the double defense of the Ice Ring Armor and the Ice Resistance Ring was superimposed on her body, which withstood Gu Yuena's spear. At the same time, the Ice Resistance Ring, which was similar to Huo Wu's Fire Resistance Ring, burst out with a coldness, forcibly pushing back the four people who surrounded Gu Yuena.

"The Royal Fighting Team's teamwork is too poor, and their tactics are too simplistic. They are countered by control-type Soul Masters, so they are indeed extremely passive." Ning Fengzhi said with some helplessness.

This hastily assembled team, while boasting individual skills that make them among the best in the competition, has virtually no teamwork!
From the start of the competition until now, they have been overwhelmingly dominant with their absolute strength.

Once the opponent has this kind of counter, or their own tactics are disrupted, even if they are stronger than the opponent, they will still be put on the defensive.

"Oh no, it's a Martial Soul Fusion Technique."

Seeing Shui Bing'er running towards Xue Wu, and the Tianshui team members gathering in front of the two to defend, Dugu Yan immediately sensed something was wrong. However, the current battlefield environment greatly restricted her, and she had no choice but to command everyone to retreat quickly and come behind Xuan Ming.

"Captain, it's all yours now!"

In that instant, Gu Yuena and the other six appeared to be in perfect unison, all turning their gazes toward Xuan Ming.

Xuanming's eyes twitched slightly, but he couldn't say anything. After all, Dugu Yan was indeed greatly restrained in this low-temperature environment, so even if she used her fifth soul skill, it would be meaningless.

The colorless wall opened again, but instead of a wall, it was like a colorless and invisible dome covering the heads of Xuanming and his group, completely blocking the icy storm from entering. Not only was the impact force blocked, but even a trace of coldness did not penetrate in.

"It's so cold." Dugu Yan and the others, soaked to the bone, looked longingly at Xuan Ming.

Xuanming was somewhat speechless, but he still controlled the temperature within the domain to rise and help them dry off.

"I'm still cold." Ning Rongrong took small steps, trying to lean against Xuan Ming to warm herself up.

When that heavy rain just fell, Xuanming protected himself!
Even she and Ye Lingling got soaked!
Xuanming glanced at Ning Rongrong, "Don't force me to kick you off in front of so many people."

Ning Rongrong's expression froze, and she took a small step back guiltily. Dugu Yan and the others, who were planning to take advantage of the situation, also obediently shrank back.

Seeing Ning Rongrong's little tricks in the VIP section, Ning Fengzhi was both annoyed and amused.

What time is it? Are you still trying to take advantage of Xuanming?

The amazing thing is that these young girls actually have this idea!
"The Martial Soul Fusion Technique used by these two Soul Masters is already as powerful as the Soul Skills used by a level 60 Soul Master in actual combat," Yue Guan said.

"If they used it in the finals, it could catch them off guard, but if they use it now, their opponents probably won't give them time to prepare their Martial Soul Fusion Skill in future matches."

This martial soul fusion skill clearly requires the dancing girl to first release her soul skill to change the weather and create a battlefield, so that the heavy rain can only unleash its true power when it intensifies to a certain extent.

It has good power, but the preparation time is too long. If the preparation time cannot be reduced, it will not be able to continue to play a role in the later stages of the competition.

"Not necessarily," Bibi Dong said calmly.

Yue Guan was slightly taken aback. "But this Martial Soul Fusion Skill obviously requires a preparation time."

“But the main body of this spirit fusion skill is not the support spirit master, but the control spirit master,” Bibi Dong said.

"The snow falling now is probably not the complete form of their martial soul fusion skill."

In a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the enhancement effect will favor the Martial Soul that is the primary element.

Just like the Netherworld White Tiger of Xingluo, the White Tiger is the main element.

Right now, even though the control-type girl is the main character, the spirit fusion skill released is actually an enhancement of the support-type spirit master's spirit.

Clearly, this Martial Soul Fusion Skill has not been fully unleashed yet!
