Douluo Continent: I am the Ice Archer, my ice power is invincible.

Chapter 84 A Tale of Two Extremes

Xiao Han's words shocked everyone present.

Who would have thought that this young man would dare to make such a request to the Pope?

Lin Zhiruo and Dean Zhao were both quite frightened.

Xue Qinghe glanced at the calm and composed Xiao Han, a hint of admiration in his eyes. This young man was becoming more and more courageous.

Xiao Han's words make sense, but most people would never dare to speak to the high and mighty Pope Bibi Dong like that.

Everyone turned to look at Bibi Dong, wondering how she would react.

Bibi Dong simply smiled and did not blame Xiao Han.

Although the young man was arrogant, he was not haughty, and his suggestion sounded somewhat reasonable.

"Xiao Han, it seems you're very confident in winning this year's Soul Master Competition. However, you'll only be qualified to make such a request if you at least reach tomorrow's final match."

"Your Holiness, does that mean you agree?"

Bibi Dong nodded slightly.

"If you can defeat the Spirit Hall Academy team next, you can directly enter tomorrow's finals. Then I will prepare a spare spirit bone for you in advance."

"Thank you, Your Holiness the Pope, for your kindness."

"Alright, let's begin the match."

As the first member of the Spirit Hall Academy team to go into battle, Yan has already arrived at the center of the square.

The square is the arena for the final three-way battle.

It is paved with incredibly hard stones, making it more sturdy than ordinary arenas, and strong enough to withstand attacks from Soul Masters below the Soul Saint level.

This round of competition is somewhat different from the qualifying rounds. Although both are knockout rounds, there is no need to arrange the players' playing order in advance; it can be determined based on the opponents' playing situation.

Xiao Han knew that Yan's soul power had reached level 52, and his martial soul was the Flame Lord, which had both fire and earth attributes, making him a formidable opponent.

Therefore, he was the first to go on stage.

In the center of the square, Xiao Han and Yan stood facing each other.

Yan has fiery red hair, his body is covered with flame patterns, and a scorching aura emanates from him.

In stark contrast to Yan, Xiao Han exuded an extremely cold aura.

A battle between ice and fire is about to begin.

Everyone was looking forward to this match.

"The match has begun. You may unleash your Martial Souls."

At the referee's whistle, Yan suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils seemingly filled with two burning flames.

His muscles tensed, and then a surge of powerful soul energy erupted from his body.

With a roar, a huge fiery figure materialized behind him.

The fiery figure was several meters tall, seemingly composed of both rock and flame, radiating a suffocatingly high temperature.

Despite the overwhelming fire elemental aura, Xiao Han remained remarkably calm.

He slowly raised his hands, and a faint blue light began to emanate from his body, gradually revealing the image of a crystal-clear bow.

Its bow and arrows are made entirely of extremely cold pure ice, emitting a faint blue light and exuding a chilling aura.

Ice and fire clashed, two completely opposite elemental forces forming a stark contrast in the center of the square, filling the air with a tense yet exciting atmosphere.

Yan suddenly spoke up:

"Kid, you dare to go head-to-head with our Spirit Hall Academy team? You've got guts. But I will definitely defeat you, and the final championship will surely belong to our Spirit Hall Academy!"

"Really? The match hasn't even started yet, don't talk big like that. Make your move."

"court death!"

Yan roared and launched the first attack.

With the sudden flash of his fifth spirit ring, Yan unleashed his ten-thousand-year spirit skill – Flying Sand Raging Flames.

Above the square, a crimson vortex of flames, like a giant net, pressed down from all directions.

As soon as this ancient soul skill was unleashed, the entire plaza seemed to be enveloped by a scorching power from ancient times.

The crimson vortex of flames, accompanied by violent sandstorms, engulfed everything around it in a crimson glow, like a volcanic eruption.

At the center of the vortex of flames, the temperature was extremely high, emitting crackling and popping sounds.

Even from hundreds of meters away, the students watching the battle could feel the terrifying power contained within the vortex of flames.

The flames were even more powerful than Ma Hongjun's evil fire.

Shock was evident on their faces as they retreated hastily, fearing the lingering power of the fiery vortex.

Sand and flames intertwined, forming an unstoppable force of destruction that pressed down on Xiao Han with a howling sound.

Yan knew that Xiao Han had the ability to fly, so he planned from the beginning to block Xiao Han's path and suppress him in this small space.

Faced with the overwhelming sand and flames, Xiao Han did not back down.

The blue light surrounding him became even more intense.

The Ice Bow was poised in his hand, its arrowhead aimed at the center of the vortex of flames.

Xiao Han's fifth spirit ring lit up.

Fifth Soul Skill, Blizzard Arrows, activated.

A chilling aura burst forth from the Zhenbing Bow and Arrow, meeting the oncoming torrent of flames head-on.

As the blizzard arrows were released, the temperature above the entire square plummeted, and the scorching heat that had been filled with Yan's flying sand and flames was dissipating at an alarming rate.

The chill carried by the blizzard arrows met the raging heat of the fire vortex in mid-air, and the two clashed, generating an astonishing energy fluctuation.

Above the square, frost and flames intertwined, creating a dazzling array of colors, including the crimson of flames and the azure of ice and snow.

Ice and Fire.

The two collided in mid-air, producing a deafening crackling sound, as if even space itself was being distorted by the force.

Although Yan's flames were extremely violent, Xiao Han was immune to them and showed no fear whatsoever.

Moreover, his True Ice Power is even stronger with the blessing of the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass Immortal Herb.

After encountering the blizzard arrows, the once unstoppable offensive of the fire vortex began to weaken.

The crimson flames gradually dimmed under the erosion of the pure ice, and the sand and stones in the flames lost their original sharpness due to the low temperature.

The blizzard met the vortex of fire, and although its power was weakened, it still carried a chill that should not be underestimated, as it assaulted Yan's body.

Upon seeing this, Yan's expression changed drastically.

He hadn't expected Xiao Han's fifth soul skill to be so powerful, capable of contending with his fire and earth powers.

He hurriedly mobilized the soul power within his body, attempting to strengthen the flames in order to resist the invasion of the cold air.

Third Soul Skill, Hellfire, activated.

This is Yan's amplification soul skill, instantly increasing the power of fire by 100%.

However, just as he activated this soul skill, an ice-blue arrow suddenly exploded less than a meter away from him.

Countless tiny ice shards adhered to his body the moment they touched him, quickly enveloping him completely.

This was another ten-thousand-year soul skill activated by Xiao Han: Ice Burst Arrow.
