Peerless: Tang San, this time Huo Yuhao is the attacker.

Ling Luochen was certain that the suffocating sense of oppression came from Huo Yuhao. In front of him, she not only lost control of the ice element, but she couldn't even control her own soul power.

The ultimate ice!

Ling Luochen was certain that Huo Yuhao's martial soul must be the ultimate ice. Anyone might betray her, but her martial soul and soul power would not.

In that situation, they were clearly being absolutely suppressed.

Instead of feeling discouraged by defeat, Ling Luochen's eyes shone with excited joy.

If she could cultivate with the Extreme Ice, the quality of her martial soul would improve imperceptibly.

This is an increase in the upper limit, and no Soul Master can resist such a temptation.

"Senior, are you alright?" Xiao Xiao's voice pulled Ling Luochen back to reality. She nodded almost imperceptibly and replied:

"It's okay, who eliminated us?"

She was only remotely locked onto by Huo Yuhao's ultimate ice, but this method only works on her, an ice-attribute soul master. So how was Xiao Xiao eliminated?

"Senior, didn't you see it either? I didn't know, my eyes just blurred and I was off the field." Xiao Xiao smiled a little embarrassedly.

Ling Luochen stopped speaking. She had already been completely controlled by Huo Yuhao, and her vision was already blurred.

"Is it Xixi?" Ling Luochen frowned and asked in a low voice. In terms of speed alone, Xixi was undoubtedly the fastest among the seven.

But after working together for so long, everyone basically knows each other's strengths and weaknesses, so Xixi shouldn't be moving this fast.

Something's not right. Ling Luochen looked at the situation on the field. At this moment, Ma Xiaotao was suppressing Dai Yueheng, Huo Yuhao was suppressing Wu Feng, and Wang Dong was chasing after the fleeing Ning Tian.

He Caitou was bombarding from a distance, while Beibei was being suppressed and beaten by Chen Zifeng.

Where's Xixi? Why is Xixi gone?

Ling Luochen's doubts were quickly answered. Chen Zifeng, who was holding the Soul-Chasing Sword and trying to quickly finish off Beibei, suddenly swayed to the right as if he had been hit by a heavy object.

Ling Luochen only saw a lingering blue-purple lightning bolt before Chen Zifeng was left off the field by Xuanzi.

"Wait, when did Xixi become so fierce?" Chen Zifeng grimaced as he got up from the ground, looking completely bewildered.

"Didn't you sense an approaching attack? Such an attack should have very obvious soul power fluctuations."

Meeting Ling Luochen's suspicious look, Chen Zifeng looked completely bewildered. "Of course I sensed it, but I didn't have time to react!"

Even with Gongyang Mo's assistance, Xixi's speed is at least 10% faster than in our last chaotic battle. Could it be that Xixi was holding back before?

Chen Zifeng quickly refuted this claim, "That's impossible. Xixi has been seriously injured several times. If she could have unleashed that speed back then, she definitely wouldn't have gotten hurt."

Could it be that Xixi is actually a masochist? The kind who gets excited when she gets beaten? That's really... cough cough, of course that's impossible, Xixi is definitely a normal person.

Feeling the sudden drop in temperature, Chen Zifeng quickly changed his tune, almost forgetting that Ling Luochen and Xixi were good friends.

"Xixi didn't hold back before." Ling Luochen said calmly. Although she didn't know the reason for Xixi's increased speed, she was certain that Xixi hadn't held back before.

"That's strange." Chen Zifeng knew about the relationship between the two, and Ling Luochen definitely understood Xixi better than he did.

The battle on the field ended quickly after Chen Zifeng was eliminated. First Ning Tian, ​​then Wu Feng, Yao Haoxuan, and Dai Yueheng had no choice but to admit defeat.

The two stood on the stage again. Dai Yueheng's gaze swept around, finally landing on Ling Luochen and Chen Zifeng. "How were you eliminated?"

"I don't know either. I was like a piece of trash on the side of the road that was kicked away by Xixi. Xixi, how did you suddenly become so fast? I couldn't even react."

Hearing Chen Zifeng's explanation, Yao Haoxuan scratched his head, "Really? I don't feel any different from before."

"You? What changes could you possibly notice? With your physique, any agility-based attacker could easily outmaneuver you."

Chen Zifeng spoke with disdain, then turned to look at Xixi with a burning gaze. Xixi's eyes, hidden under her hood, flickered, but she remained composed.

"If you're bad at cooking, just practice more."

"Did you hear that? If someone tells you you're bad, practice more. Look for the reasons within yourself. Your weakness becomes someone else's strength in your words."

Yao Haoxuan originally wanted to pat Chen Zifeng on the shoulder, but his height ultimately meant that his hand could only land on Chen Zifeng's forearm.

"Really?" Chen Zifeng was immediately plunged into deep self-doubt. Xixi had always been the quietest and most taciturn of the seven, and she usually neither lied nor joked.

Chen Zifeng couldn't tell whether Xixi was joking or not.

"Alright, Zifeng, maybe you were just momentarily distracted," Dai Yueheng said, clearly choosing to believe Xixi's explanation.

Of the seven members of the main team, the only one who had doubts was Ling Luochen. She and Xixi were best friends, and she naturally knew Xixi's maximum speed.

Therefore, she knew that Xixi must be lying, but why?

Despite his doubts, Ling Luochen did not show them. Since Xixi chose to keep it a secret, she must have her reasons. Speaking up now would only push Xixi into a fire pit.

Chen Zifeng was starting to question his life choices when Xuanzi stepped forward and said, "You little rascals, remember to keep your promises."

"I am a pig." x7

Xuanzi nodded in satisfaction, smiled, and took a piece of meat from the chicken leg. He then divided the group into two teams, this time with Huo Yuhao and Ling Luochen in the same team.

The ensuing battle confirmed Ling Luochen's suspicions about the ultimate ice.

Huo Yuhao didn't even need to do anything; simply maintaining skin-to-skin contact with Ling Luochen was enough to temporarily upgrade Ling Luochen's ice element to the ultimate ice.

Ling Luochen held the ice crystal staff in her hand, her eyes sparkling. After Huo Yuhao withdrew his hand, she even felt a little reluctant.

As the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. The feeling of the ultimate ice is simply too wonderful.

As an ice-attribute soul master, that kind of power captivated and lingered in Ling Luochen's heart.

To put it simply, it's like the Blue Silver Grass transforming into the Blue Silver Emperor, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda becoming the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda—it's the kind of thing you could laugh in your sleep.

"Today's training is over. You can all go back now, pack your things, and meet at the academy gate early tomorrow morning to head to Xingluo City for the competition."

After nodding to each other, the main team and the reserve team parted ways outside the Soul Battle Zone. As inner court disciples, they would not eat in the outer court's low-level canteen.

The members of the main team dispersed at the entrance of the inner courtyard canteen. Ling Luochen and Xixi ate their meal as usual, and neither of them spoke during the meal.

Upon returning to their dormitory, the moment the door closed, Xixi transformed into a bolt of lightning and dashed towards the bed.

Ling Luochen was not surprised at all. His eyes flashed with an icy blue light, and an ice crystal cage enveloped the bed, just enough to lock up Xixi who was rushing forward.

This scene looks as if Xixi is deliberately walking into the cage set up by Ling Luochen.

"Speak."
