Chapter 9 Gu Yuena and Yang Teng are truly monsters!
Yang Teng's figure appeared and disappeared intermittently, the air around him was slightly distorted, a hint of understanding flashed in his cold blue eyes, followed by a deeper solemnity.
"Spatial attributes..."
She muttered to herself, her tone revealing undisguised surprise.
Martial Souls with spatial attributes are extremely rare, and their unpredictability is enough to give any opponent a headache.
Even so, it is truly unbelievable that Yang Teng could break free so quickly after being instantly controlled by the "Frozen" soul skill.
Using his spatial teleportation ability, Yang Teng closed in once again to a distance that seemed suitable for launching an attack. At that moment, Shui Bing'er's eyes sharpened, and her second yellow spirit ring suddenly shone brightly.
"Resisting light!"
A soft yet powerful halo of light spread outwards in a circle.
Just as Yang Teng was about to make his move, he was caught off guard and was hit squarely by the repulsive force, his body flying backward uncontrollably.
This "Resist Light" is not an offensive soul skill, but a pure area-of-effect resistance and knockback effect. It is activated extremely quickly and is almost impossible to dodge.
It was during this brief respite that Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu exerted their strength simultaneously, their soul power surging, and finally broke free from the invisible yet incredibly resilient spatial constraints.
The two exchanged a glance and saw the lingering fear in each other's eyes. The feeling of being completely imprisoned and having their soul power stagnant was truly terrifying.
"Invisible and invisible, impossible to defend against..."
Xue Wu wiped away non-existent cold sweat from her forehead and said in a low, heavy voice.
As a level 42 offensive Soul Master, she believed that her speed, reaction and Soul Skill combos were not weak, but she was no match for Yang Teng's elusive spatial abilities.
She felt that all her predictions and attacks were ridiculous.
Shui Bing'er's feelings were even more complicated. Her most prized "Frozen" soul skill, which was almost invincible in terms of initial control among her peers, was useless against Yang Teng...
On the sidelines, the woman surnamed Yuan who had been at the school gate earlier was now dumbfounded, shaking her head and muttering to herself.
"Our Tianshui Academy's golden duo, the captain and vice-captain working together, actually... actually couldn't handle a mere Soul Master! Just what kind of monster is this Yang Teng?"
She felt that her understanding was being constantly refreshed.
Dean Shui Yunxia's gaze fell once more on the composed young man in the arena, her shock even greater than that of the woman surnamed Yuan.
With his purple-black soul ring configuration, bizarre and powerful spatial martial soul, and the ability to fight against two soul masters with the power of a Soul Master, Yang Teng's background and potential probably far exceed her imagination.
She subconsciously focused her mind, wanting to delve deeper into Yang Teng's body, and a powerful yet subtle spiritual force quietly spread over him.
However, before her mental power could truly reach Yang Teng, it seemed to have struck an invisible yet incredibly resilient barrier, and she was gently but firmly bounced back.
Shui Yunxia was startled and looked in the direction from which the mental energy barrier came, only to see a pair of calm, unwavering silver eyes.
It was Gu Yuena who interrupted her investigation.
"Gu Yuena..."
Shui Yunxia was stunned again. During that brief mental contact, she actually sensed a vast and ancient aura beneath Gu Yuena's seemingly calm mental energy.
The quality and quantity of his spiritual power were even slightly superior to that of her, the Soul Saint!
How is this possible? An eighteen-year-old Soul King possesses such terrifying mental power?
Gu Yuena didn't look at the arena; she merely moved her lips slightly, and a clear, cold, and sincere voice accurately reached Shui Yunxia's ears.
"Dean, it's best not to investigate, otherwise your mental strength may suffer a severe backlash."
Shui Yunxia was deeply shaken and gave Gu Yuena a long look.
She could sense this from Gu Yuena's eyes and tone; this silver-haired woman was equally mysterious and terrifying.
Shui Yunxia nodded slowly, silently remembering this warning and shock.
"Just who are these two young men?"
……
The battle continues on the field.
After breaking free of their restraints, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu quickly adjusted their tactics.
Xue Wu used her Soul Master's Soul Power advantage and Soul Skill characteristics to launch a continuous, dense, and varied offensive, and relied on ice and snow to continuously deplete Yang Teng's Soul Power.
Shui Bing'er moved to the outer perimeter, no longer using "Ice Seal," but instead using more flexible small-area freezing, ice wall blocking, and "Light Resistance" for support and protection.
Despite the fact that the two had adjusted their teamwork to be more stable and difficult to deal with, Yang Teng's elusive spatial movements were still hard for them to catch.
Xue Wu's offensive coverage is very wide, and Shui Bing'er's support and control always appear in the most critical positions. After all, the two have been partners for many years and have excellent tacit understanding.
Yang Teng's figure appeared and disappeared in the arena. Sometimes he narrowly avoided the swarm of ice spikes, and sometimes he was forced to change his position by the "Resistant Light". He seemed to be gradually losing his strength.
If this is not a friendly exchange, but a life-or-death struggle.
Yang Teng knew very well that the moment he first used the "Time Lock" to imprison the two of them, he could instantly severely injure or even kill them.
So far, he has never used his black, eternal third soul skill.
Time slipped away quietly amidst the fierce back-and-forth battles; the time it takes for an incense stick to burn seemed to pass very quickly.
Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's breathing became slightly rapid as they used their soul skills at a high frequency. In particular, Xue Wu's continuous area attacks and Shui Bing'er's highly concentrated and precise release of mental energy consumed a considerable amount of their soul power.
On the other hand, Yang Teng, although he was no longer the same as at the beginning, still had that signature slightly roguish smile on his face, and did not show much fatigue.
Unable to break through after a prolonged attack, and with her own energy greatly depleted, Xue Wu couldn't help but feel a sense of anxiety.
She glanced at Yang Teng, whose breathing remained steady, then at Shui Bing'er, whose face was solemn, and a resolute glint flashed in her eyes.
"Bing'er!"
Xue Wu lowered her voice, her tone urgent and firm.
"Use that trick! We can't delay any longer!"
Shui Bing'er naturally understood what Xue Wu was referring to: their trump card, the Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
A hint of hesitation flashed across her cool face, and her beautiful brows furrowed slightly.
"Xue Wu, this is just a friendly spar."
In her opinion, using a spirit fusion technique to deal with a Soul Master, especially in a sparring match that was more like an entrance exam, was utterly shameless.
Xue Wu shook her head, her gaze sweeping over the stunned and discussing teachers and students of Tianshui Academy on the sidelines, finally settling on Dean Shui Yunxia's deep gaze, her tone filled with resentment and persistence.
"Bing'er, this is more than just a friendly spar. It concerns our reputations, the name of our golden partnership, and even more so... the prestige of Tianshui Academy among the Four Elements Academy!"
Xue Wu's words struck Shui Bing'er's heart like a heavy hammer.
Yes, this is no longer a simple matter of individual victory or defeat.
They represent the strongest fighting force of the younger generation at Tianshui Academy.
If the academy fails to deliver a convincing performance in this battle, or even loses, the damage to its reputation will be substantial.
Thinking of the dean's expectations of her and the academy's reputation, the hesitation in Shui Bing'er's eyes was gradually replaced by determination.
She took a deep breath, as if making a firm decision, and said in a deep voice, addressing Xue Wu, and perhaps also herself:
"it is good."
She raised her eyes and looked at Yang Teng, who seemed to have sensed something, his smile fading slightly and his eyes showing more interest.
"Yang Teng, watch out. From now on, we won't hold back."
She turned to Xuewu, and their eyes met. Their soul powers began to resonate and merge at a peculiar frequency.
"Then... let's use the Ice Phoenix!"
