Chapter 363 Ultimate Technique Fusion: Ice and Snow Drifting, Ice Phoenix (Part 1)

Blue Silver Grass is indeed resilient, especially the Blue Silver Grass bound by spider webs, which is exceptionally tough. Tang San used all his soul power to protect his seven companions flawlessly. However, no matter how resilient Blue Silver Grass is, it is still just a blade of grass that has transformed into vines.

The combined power of two level 40 Soul Masters' Martial Soul Fusion Skill is no less than that of a level 60 Soul Master's Soul Skill.

The falling snow doesn't have the same overwhelming force as the Netherworld White Tiger, but its advantage lies in its continuous flow.

Amidst a teeth-grinding, grating screech, the sticky and resilient spiderweb bindings began to show signs of breaking.

Countless snowflakes, like a meat grinder, relentlessly sliced ​​through every corner of Tang San's defenses. Under the snowflakes, sharper than blades, the outermost layer of defense was quickly cut and shattered.

Next, the icy snow will erode Tang San's ten-thousand-year soul ring skill, Blue Silver Prison.

When Tang San first learned his Blue Silver Cage, he could only release a maximum of seven at a time. In terms of resilience, the Blue Silver Cage is inferior to the Spider Web Binding in terms of single-target damage. However, it excels in its ability to be instantly cast at the opponent's location and can also provide crowd control.

As Tang San's cultivation of the Three Apertures Control Heart gradually matured, he also gained many more techniques in applying this fourth soul skill. After all, this was a ten-thousand-year soul ring skill, and its operability was much greater than that of the Spider Web Binding.

The reason Tang San was able to unleash more than ten Blue Silver Cages was not because his soul power had increased significantly, but because he precisely controlled the soul power he released in each individual instance of this soul skill during actual combat.

In other words, seemingly identical Blue Silver Cages actually have different effects; those requiring more soul power are more resilient, while those requiring less are more fragile. By adjusting the power of his Blue Silver Cage according to the opponent, Tang San could greatly conserve his own soul power.

Therefore, even when he discovered the opponent was using their spirit fusion technique, Tang San was still able to cast multiple Blue Silver Cages to protect everyone. This was already all the power he had given.

The seemingly delicate snowflakes were entangled with the outermost blue-silver cage, forming extremely fine snowflakes. Compared to the flexible spiderweb bindings, the rigid blue-silver cage was surprisingly much more effective at resisting the cutting and slicing of the falling ice and snow.

Flexibility fears sharpness, and sharpness fears strength; perhaps this is the reason.

If anyone could see Shui Bing'er's face inside the blue beam of light at this moment, they would surely notice that her expression had turned quite unpleasant. Although she had already made high predictions about Tang San before this match, Tang San's adaptability and reaction speed still greatly surprised her.

Shui Bing'er was in control of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill "Falling Snow," so she could clearly feel the resistance encountered when the snowflakes attacked.

She saw Tang San set up the Blue Silver Cage. There were seven layers of Blue Silver Cage. Although the first layer had already been broken by her attack, Shui Bing'er realized that if things continued as they were, even if she and Xue Wu exhausted their soul power, they might not be able to break through Tang San's defensive formation completely.

The ten-thousand-year-old soul skill is indeed extraordinary. Although it is a control-type skill, its defensive capabilities are surprisingly strong. The Blue Silver Cage may not look particularly flashy, but its practicality is astonishing.

If we still can't win this match after using the Spirit Fusion Skill, how can Tianshui Academy possibly win when facing an even stronger Shrek Academy in the future?

A loud phoenix cry rang out from the blue pillar of light that shot into the sky. Tang San felt the pressure ease, and the snowflakes that had been cutting and attacking in the shape of a tornado in mid-air flew up.

Hearing the bright phoenix cry and feeling the increased mental pressure after the attack was relieved, Tang San suddenly realized something.

Ice Phoenix, Shui Bing'er's martial soul is actually the Ice Phoenix, a top-tier martial soul.

No wonder, no wonder her control over her soul skills is so strong, no wonder she possesses such a martial soul fusion skill. It turns out she actually possesses such a domineering and powerful martial soul.

Both being phoenixes, the Ice Phoenix is ​​in no way inferior to Huo Wu's Fire Phoenix. These are two extreme martial souls, but both are top-tier. In terms of strength, Shui Bing'er is even slightly superior to Huo Wu.

She also has a fusion technique partner, Snow Dance, which Fire Dance doesn't have.

In mid-air, snowflakes condensed and gradually took shape. A giant blue phoenix, seven meters long, appeared out of thin air.

Unlike the fourth soul skill used by Huo Wu that day, this ice phoenix appeared extremely clear, almost like a physical entity. Its bright eyes and long tail feathers were captivating.

A dazzling blue phoenix descended from the sky, without a trace of worldly dust, transforming into an icy blue shimmer as it gracefully floated down.

Its movements are not fast, but with each step forward, the falling snowflakes make its body more solid.

A low sigh emanated from within the Blue Silver Cage. A bizarre scene unfolded: the remaining Blue Silver Cages receded underground layer by layer, and even the Blue Silver Grass that had been protecting everyone quietly returned to Tang San's body.

Led by Dai Mubai, the remaining six people, excluding Tang San, rushed off the arena before the Ice Phoenix arrived. Only Tang San remained on the arena.

Compared to the Ice Phoenix, which was over seven meters long, Tang San looked incredibly small, and the dazzling blue light completely illuminated the arena.

At this point, even the most ardent supporters of Shrek Academy and Tang San no longer believed they could win the match.

The audience was even more confused as to why Tang San would completely dismantle his defensive system just before the opponent's attack was about to land. Anyone with even a little knowledge of martial spirits could see that even if Tang San had any spirit power left, it would be almost nonexistent.

In his current state, what can he possibly do?

Tang San didn't want to give up on this match. He could have easily given up, since it wouldn't affect their chances of advancing. But he didn't want to. There was no reason; he just didn't want to accept defeat.

The ice phoenix gliding down from the sky paused for a moment, and Shui Bing'er's somewhat angry voice came from the blue light, "Are you looking for death? Get back now, I'm losing control." She had already given it her all, and the energy that the ice phoenix had gathered in the air was now beyond her control.

A faint smile appeared on Tang San's face as he thought to himself, "What a kind girl. But I can't lose."

"Come on." A tearing sound rang out from behind Tang San, and eight ferocious purplish-black spears burst forth from his back. Each spear was illuminated by alternating flashes of blue and red light. Sharp, broad spikes were attached to both sides of the spears.

The eight sharp spikes appeared instantly, plunging into the ground and lifting Tang San's body sideways. They were the Eight Spider Lances.

The Ice Phoenix was out of control and descended from the sky, unleashing a massive surge of energy.

A cold current surged, already completely locking onto Tang San's body. The Ice and Snow Fluttering Spirit Fusion Skill was extremely powerful; once unleashed, it would immediately lock onto the opponent. But at that moment, a strange scene unfolded.

The Eight Spider Lances bent sharply, then sprang back up in an instant, propelling Tang San's body into the sky like a cannonball. He actually ignored the surging cold current and broke through the locked energy just before the Ice Phoenix descended, rising at least twenty meters into the air.

The entire arena was frozen solid, instantly covered with a layer of blue light. The next moment, accompanied by a deafening roar, the entire arena collapsed completely.

Even the remaining members of the Tianshui Academy who possessed water-attribute abilities jumped off the stage before it landed.

This was arguably the most devastating and dazzling moment since the start of the qualifiers. Unfortunately, it failed to hit its target.

The appearance of the Eight Spider Lances filled Tang San with renewed power, the energy from his external soul bone supporting his body. As he descended from the sky, the Eight Spider Lances had already quietly retracted behind him.

The entire vast area of ​​the Heavenly Battle Arena was covered with a thin layer of frost.

A chill ran through the audience, freezing their expressions.

Amidst the ruins of the arena, Shui Bing'er, supported by Xue Wu, stood there with difficulty, staring blankly at Tang San descending from the sky.

She couldn't understand why this was happening. Why couldn't her and Xue Wu's fusion skill, plus the power of her own martial soul origin, defeat the slowly descending opponent?

The chill of falling snow was enough to slow anyone's movements. In that instant, the temperature on the arena had dropped to an extremely terrifying level. Coupled with the control of the cold current, she absolutely did not believe that any Soul Master below level 60 could break through the lock and escape the attack range.

But the man did it. His movements appeared effortless, as if he hadn't used any strength at all. Only Shui Bing'er knew how difficult it was to escape the full force of the falling snow.

Both girls were deathly pale, their soul power depleted, making it difficult for them to even stand.

Tang San had already landed in the ruins and was walking towards them step by step, although his soul power fluctuations were already very weak. But just recalling his close combat abilities that he had once demonstrated, Shui Bing'er knew that she and Xue Wu could never defeat him again.
