Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 90 The Curse of Shame

"What?!"

The members of Class Zero were all surprised and didn't have time to complain about why a spatial ability was called "Heavenly Hand Power"—such a strange name.

The ability to teleport is already difficult to defend against, but now it can even move people and swap positions. Even with some limitations, this is still an extremely powerful ability.

"In that case, we'll have many more tactical options in the future," Tang Wulin said.

"Indeed." Gu Yue nodded in agreement. Her spatial attribute ability granted her instant teleportation, which was limited to taking herself with her, but it also made her fighting style ever-changing, so she was the most qualified to speak about this ability.

After much deliberation, Nan Fusheng and his group of five concluded that there was only one way to counter this: cooperation.

"Xiaoyan, you said you're stronger at night. Can we see that after dinner?" Nan Fusheng asked Xu Xiaoyan. Only by understanding their partner better can they cooperate more effectively.

"Okay." Xu Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment before readily agreeing.

In fact, before she came to school, her elders specifically told her not to show off her special abilities.

However, upon arriving here, Xu Xiaoyan was facing what could be described as the most outstanding geniuses in the entire Donghai City. The battle during the day had brought her immense pressure, and she knew very well that the most important factor in whether she could stay was whether she could gain the approval of these companions.

So, after a brief moment of thought, she agreed. She had to demonstrate her abilities; otherwise, why should she stay in a group of geniuses? Mere observation and precise control weren't enough to keep her there!

After dinner, night fell.

Nan Fusheng and his group of five arrived at the academy's playground and headed towards the grove of trees in the corner.

Aside from Nan Fusheng, who had anticipated this, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue were all very curious about Xu Xiaoyan's claim that she would be even stronger at night.

In the Douluo Continent, martial souls are incredibly diverse, and anything is possible. For example, Gu Yue's control over the six elements was unheard of before. What new wonders will Xu Xiaoyan bring?

The grove was dimly lit. Gu Yue raised her hand and held up a ball of golden light. A faint golden halo flowed in her palm, illuminating the surroundings.

Xie Xie, whose mind was always filled with "dirty thoughts," felt somewhat excited. Late at night, in the small woods of the academy, the tranquility gave him a sense of mystery and exhilarating pleasure.

Xu Xiaoyan walked forward and looked up at the sky. The grove of trees in the academy wasn't very lush, unlike the dense foliage of the Ascension Platform.

The stars twinkled in the sky. She nodded gently. "Let me begin."

With a wave of her hand, a yellow spirit ring rose from beneath her feet, and a long ice staff appeared in her grasp.

The golden light in Gu Yue's palm shone on the ice staff, causing it to reflect a faint golden light, filled with a sacred glow.

Xu Xiaoyan's face turned serious, and she raised her ice staff high. Her eyes suddenly lit up in an instant.

"Stars in the sky, twinkling bright, forever shining, may peace prevail! Grant me power, my star wheel." As she softly chanted, the tip of her ice staff suddenly lit up.

"How embarrassing!" That was Nan Fusheng's first thought. Even as an observer, he felt a strange sense of shame upon hearing these words, as if his past as a teenager had been exposed.

How could this little girl so seriously utter such a shameful incantation? Oh, she's still young, so it's alright.

Nan Fusheng immediately turned his attention back to Xu Xiaoyan. He vaguely saw an inconspicuous pale golden light descend from the sky and land on her ice staff.

Instantly, at the tip of the ice staff, it was as if a lamp had been lit, and a ball of golden light spread out, gradually transforming into a golden halo containing a six-pointed star.

As the star wheel appeared, Xu Xiaoyan's entire demeanor began to change. The originally gentle and weak girl suddenly became upright, and surrounded by starlight, she became noble and elegant, with an aura of being dignified and unapproachable.

The spirit rings beneath her feet were also filled with starlight, and a golden star lit up on her forehead, becoming her most beautiful adornment.

With a light wave of his ice staff, the magical six-pointed star flew out and landed directly at Xie Xie's feet.

In an instant, Xie Xie felt his whole body tighten and feel cold, and he lost the ability to move.

The stars shone brightly, and streaks of starlight rose from beneath his feet, transforming into chains of ice that bound his body.

Xie Xie hurriedly activated his soul power to resist, but he was surprised to find that there seemed to be a special force sealing him, and his soul power was circulating much slower than normal.

This……

Xu Xiaoyan's face was slightly pale. She looked at everyone and said, "At night, I can use the power of the Star Wheel. So my martial soul is the Star Wheel Ice Staff, not my brother's ice staff."

The Star Wheel Ice Staff is a special mutated martial soul passed down from our family's ancient times. Only I have awakened it in hundreds of years. The Star Wheel will grow along with my strength, so whatever my soul spirit is, after being absorbed, it will become a part of my Star Wheel.

Only at night does it truly unleash its power. During the day, I am just an ordinary Ice Staff Soul Master, but at night, I am protected by starlight.

"The Star Wheel will grant me astrological attributes in addition to my icy attributes, allowing me to draw upon the power of the stars. The best thing about astrological attributes is their absolute validity."

With my current strength, I can use the Star Wheel as a trigger to freeze someone. The speed at which they dissipate depends on their cultivation level. But with a minimum certainty, I can freeze them for at least one second.

Astrological attributes? They had never heard of that before. But the facts were clear: Xie Xie, who had the highest soul power among them (and was unaware of Nan Fusheng's soul power), had been trapped in the star wheel for five seconds and still hadn't escaped.

Five seconds is a long time; there's so much you can do in that time. Even Nan Fusheng, a fragile mage, wasn't sure he could break free. Of course, that was assuming Xu Xiaoyan could hit him.

"After using Star Wheel, will you still have the ability to fight?" Gu Yue suddenly asked Xu Xiaoyan.

Xu Xiaoyan shook her head with a wry smile. "No, I can't move when I use the Star Wheel ability, otherwise it will be deactivated. Otherwise, its power wouldn't be that great. Therefore, the biggest advantage of this ability is its synergy."

According to my family's records, as my cultivation level increases, my astrological attribute will grant me additional abilities. It's like each of my spirit rings can possess two spirit skills at night, essentially creating a dual martial soul. However, this won't be possible during the day. It'll just be an ice staff.

As expected, powerful abilities always come with powerful limitations. The inability to move or launch additional attacks while using astrological powers limits her from being invincible in one-on-one situations. Furthermore, it can only be used at night.

Even so, the terrifying power of this ability within a team is unimaginable! In crucial moments, it can absolutely turn the tide of battle.

There are so many things you can do if you freeze for even a second.

"Stop using your supernatural powers, little miss," Xie Xie said with a bitter face.

Xu Xiaoyan smiled sweetly, and with a flash of light from the Star Wheel Ice Staff in her hand, the golden light and ice chains on Xie Xie's body disappeared at the same time.

In truth, she was also nearing her limit; behind her immense strength lay enormous energy expenditure. And if Xie Xie continued to struggle, he could still break free.
