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

Chapter 249 Ice Phoenix

……

"Captain, the Snowfall effect is completely ineffective against him. Should we give up?"

As Xue Wu watched Xuan Ming effortlessly withstand the impact of the ice and snow while performing the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, a sense of regret welled up in her heart.

This was originally a secret weapon they planned to use to win the finals, but it has been exposed to everyone far too early.

It is foreseeable that in the upcoming matches, her opponents will definitely devise strategies to counter her, and even if they forcefully launch the Martial Soul Fusion Skill again, its power will be greatly reduced.

“No, continue.” Shui Bing’er’s tone was firm and unwavering.

Xue Wu was slightly taken aback. "You're going to use all your strength? You'll be severely overtaxed."

The snow falling at this moment is not the peak state of their martial soul fusion skill.

The real way to use it is to inject the fused soul power into Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, forcibly stimulating the original power of her beast Martial Soul.

Although its explosive power exceeds that of the Ice and Snowfall, its energy consumption is equally astonishing.

She was fine after using this trick, but Shui Bing'er would be weak for a while until her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul stabilized.

“I have a way to recover. Now, I want to see just how big the gap is between us and him,” Shui Bing’er said.

At level 63, she couldn't believe it, but now she had a chance to verify it.

"Alright." Xue Wu didn't ask any more questions and cooperated with Shui Bing'er, integrating the energy of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill into her Martial Soul.

A loud phoenix cry rang out from within the soaring blue pillar of light, causing the snowflakes that had been suppressing the entire area to suddenly rise up. The oppressive force of the ice and snow weakened, but the phoenix cry brought a new kind of mental pressure.

In mid-air, snowflakes gathered together and gradually took shape. A seven-meter-long ice phoenix appeared out of thin air, its body becoming increasingly solid amidst the falling snowflakes.

Upon witnessing this scene, most of the audience, and even many in the VIP seats, began to waver.

"Wow, this place really is full of talented people." Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Yue Guan, do you think their move can break through Xuanming's defense?"

Yue Guan looked at the ice phoenix flying on the field, "Breaking through the colorless wall defense should be possible, but posing a threat to him... is unlikely."

Xuanming's colorless wall can only be considered a specially developed skill in his beast spirit domain, a self-created spirit skill. It is fine for blocking ordinary attacks, but the explosive power of this spirit fusion skill is too great, and it is probably impossible to block it.

Back in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Xuanming had already obtained his fifth spirit ring. Now he has obtained the spirit ring of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which means that Xuanming is now a six-ring Spirit Emperor!
This spirit fusion skill is indeed powerful. If it were any other team here, the outcome would have been decided the moment this spirit fusion skill was successfully released.

However, this move poses no threat to Xuanming's soul power of level 60 or above.

"Why is everyone working so hard...?"

Xuanming deactivated the colorless wall defense, so his colorless wall couldn't block the next attack. Since it couldn't block it, there was no need to block it.

"you……"

Before Xuanming could finish speaking, the six people, including Gu Yuena, rushed off the Soul Arena as if they had oil on their feet, then turned around and looked at him in unison.

"Come on!"

Xuanming fell silent.

Something's not right! How did Gu Yuena get led astray? It's only been a few days!
"Xuanming, I can't control the power of this move. If you can't withstand it, you'd better get down quickly."

The ice phoenix, gliding down from the sky, deliberately slowed down, and Shui Bing'er's voice came from the blue light of the martial soul fusion skill.

At the same time, the team members from Tianshui Academy also jumped off the fighting arena.

"You are much more polite than the people from Blazing Fire Academy." Xuanming withdrew his gaze from the audience, slowly raised his right hand, and white light once again filled the entire venue.

"But you all made the same mistake."

In an instant, the ice and snow, which had begun to dance wildly out of control, inexplicably stabilized.

But this is not suppression, but a more powerful control over ice and snow.

"Overestimating yourself." Xuanming clenched his right hand, and the ice and snow on the entire field began to dance wildly again, surging towards the uncontrollable ice phoenix that was falling from the sky.

"What are you doing! Are you crazy!" Shui Bing'er's shocked and angry voice came from the blue pillar of light.

This guy is actually enhancing the ice and snow power condensed within the Ice Phoenix!

Is the Ice Phoenix not powerful enough?

“You guys are a bit crazy.” Xuanming clenched his right hand, and the ice and snow power that was originally surging towards the ice phoenix was as if controlled by an invisible hand, frantically being injected into the ice phoenix’s body in a mysterious and rapid manner.

The ice phoenix's body, which originally emitted a cool blue light, now shone even more intensely, as if it were about to burst into flames, and every feather on its body shimmered with a dazzling cold light.

Even after losing control of the Ice Phoenix, Shui Bing'er could still clearly feel an overwhelming force surging into it. Finally, just before the Ice Phoenix was about to descend to the ground, it abruptly stopped. The swirling ice and snow instantly flew into the sky, completely obscuring the Soul Arena and preventing anyone outside from seeing what was happening inside.

Looking at the ice phoenix hovering in mid-air so close to him, Xuanming gently tapped its head. "It's just a competition, not a fight to the death. Is it really necessary to use such uncontrollable moves?"

Shui Bing'er, enveloped in blue light, was stunned.

The Ice Phoenix is ​​her martial spirit, even though it's out of control, but now Xuanming has actually taken control of it!

This strange feeling was as if she were being controlled by Xuanming!
"Brother, don't flirt with young girls at a time like this, or you'll get stabbed," the Ice Dragon King said strangely.

"Who did I flirt with?" Xuanming was somewhat speechless.

He was just testing whether he could take away Shui Bing'er's control over Bing Fenghuang, just as he had taken away Huo Wu's control over Huo Wu Yaoyang.

Huo Wu's Fiery Sun is pure fire energy, but this Ice Phoenix combines the martial soul energy of Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu. It was a bit difficult to snatch it, but after injecting enough ice energy into it, it was still possible to snatch it.

Of course, it's not worth it at all. He poured nearly two-thirds of the energy into this ice phoenix.

In combat, this can only be done when you have an absolute advantage; it has little practical value.

"Brother, this Ice Phoenix is ​​that little girl's martial soul, right?" the Ice Dragon King said.

"And human beast spirits, after being cultivated to level 30 or above, are actually almost one with the spirit master himself, right?"

Xuanming's expression changed slightly as he looked at the Ice Phoenix with a strangely human-like gaze.

"..."

"Excuse me."

Xuanming withdrew his hand, taking away the powerful ice energy within, and the giant ice phoenix instantly turned into ice crystals and dissipated.

The next moment, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's martial soul fusion skill also ended.

However, both girls were deathly pale, their soul power so depleted that they could barely stand.

At this moment, the host, DouDou, slowly flew back from outside the arena and landed in the center of the frozen Soul Arena. She first looked at the unharmed XuanMing, then at the extremely weak ShuiBingEr and XueWu, "Um... shall we continue?"

Shui Bing'er looked at Xuan Ming with an extremely complicated expression. "We lost."

"You flatter me." Xuanming said nothing more and turned to leave.

Without delay, the host, DouDou, immediately announced the results of the competition.

"Royal Fighting Team wins this match!"

……

After the match ended and they returned to the rest area, Dugu Yan and her group quickly surrounded them.

"What were you doing up there just now?"

"You even went out of your way to cover up the arena, are you trying to harass them?"

"You've already taken a liking to someone before the competition even started, and you're still looking after things have come to blows?"

"That's it!"

Xuanming put down his teacup. "I'm protecting the Soul Arena."

If that move hits the Soul Arena, the central Soul Arena will be destroyed, and the schedule will definitely be affected. Just thinking about it is troublesome.

"Then why were you making eye contact with her at the beginning?" Dugu Yan asked with a suspicious look.

"Don't think I don't know. The women from the Tianshui team have managed to sneak up to the top floor of the hotel several times recently."

"I don't remember that woman coming here. Did I miss her?"

"..."

Faced with everyone's doubts, Xuanming sighed, stood up, and gave up on explaining further.

"I'm going back to rest first."

"Huh?" Ning Rongrong was stunned. She reached out to grab Xuan Ming, but he took a step forward and fell into the dark void, disappearing from the rest room.

"Is he... angry?"

"It seems like this joke went too far..."
