The two teams of players went up to the stands. The Inner Courtyard disciples stared intently at the arena below. They were very curious why a four-ring Spirit Ancestor could solo a ten-thousand-year Darkgold Bear, and why she was evaluated as very strong by the sixty-seventh-level Ma Xiaotao.
An Zhen, Dai Yueheng, and Ma Xiaotao stood in a triangle formation.
"Two Spirit Emperors, huh."
These were not on the same level as the two Spirit Emperors he had killed before.
A faint smile was on the handsome young man's face, and he spoke words that puzzled everyone in the stands, "Then let's take out one first."
"Roar~"
"Clang clang~"
A fierce White Tiger roar and a high-pitched Phoenix cry rang out. Six spirit rings appeared around Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao, and they charged forward simultaneously. They were not trying to team up to deal with An Zhen. In such a battle, their pride would not allow them to team up with others. Since they were captains, they had to be the strongest. For them, besides themselves, the other two were enemies to be dealt with.
The Inner Courtyard disciples were very curious about An Zhen's methods.
To their astonished gazes, white, purple, and purple spirit rings appeared. They were not surprised by the second purple spirit ring, but by the white spirit ring. Why would a genius of this level have a ten-year spirit ring? And wasn't he a Spirit Ancestor? Why did he only have three spirit rings?
The white spirit ring lit up.
His index finger straightened, pointing at Dai Yueheng, while his other four fingers were bent.
"Bang!" An Zhen provided the sound effect.
Soul Impact!
"Boom!"
Dai Yueheng, who was originally charging forward, felt as if someone had lifted his skull. The stinging pain almost made him lose his perception of his surroundings. He vaguely seemed to hear a sentence, "It seems I need to use more mental force next time," and a sharp pain came from his abdomen, sending his entire body flying backward.
Ma Xiaotao: !
Ma Xiaotao stopped. At this moment, it was as if everything had fallen silent, and one could even hear the sound of swallowing saliva.
What did they see?
A Spirit Ancestor used a ten-year Spirit Ability to instantly heavily injure a Spirit Emperor, then suddenly crossed over two hundred meters to appear beside Dai Yueheng, delivering a heavy kick to defeat him.
This was not a Spirit Master at all!
Was that your ten-year Spirit Ability?
Even a hundred-thousand-year one probably couldn't achieve this level.
One Soul Impact plus one Universe defeated Dai Yueheng.
The formless mental force combined with the Spirit Ability Soul Impact was an invincible existence at this stage.
Spirit related Spirits were already very rare. Generally, only after a Spirit Master reached the Spirit Saint stage could they form a certain degree of resistance against mental force attacks. Spirit Detection, Spirit Sharing, in An Zhen's view, Soul Impact was also a divine force.
Why was Tianmeng Iceworm bullied so badly?
The biggest reason was that she had powerful and vast mental force but no means to use this powerful mental force as a weapon, similar to An Zhen's situation before.
Tianmeng Iceworm was practically dying of envy when she saw the four Spirit Abilities she brought to Huo Yutong. Those were abilities she had yearned for in the past.
If Tianmeng Iceworm had the ability Soul Impact, not to mention the top powerhouses, those ranked lower, like Bear Monarch and Ice Empress, would not be her opponents at all. But she had no offensive abilities whatsoever and could only rely on the sheer quantity of her mental force to bully ordinary hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts.
"Nephew, it's your turn now."
An Zhen looked at Ma Xiaotao.
"Hoo~"
Taking a deep breath, Ma Xiaotao had no intention of admitting defeat. Even if she were to lose as badly as Dai Yueheng, she would only consider it after fighting.
First Spirit Ability, Reflection, Ice Dragon King Spirit.
"Roar~"
Like the winter wind from the extreme cold, a World of extreme cold descended. Instantly, ice and snow spread rapidly from An Zhen as the center, as if in the blink of an eye, the entire arena, except for the stands enveloped by Yan Shaozhe's bright spirit power, turned into a World of ice.
'An Zhen's fortuitous encounter is truly amazing.' Gu Yuena, watching the Fire Dragon King An Zhen use the Ice Dragon King's power, sighed inwardly, while also feeling a hint of guilt. The dignified Fire Dragon King now faced a small fiery bird and couldn't even use her mastery over fire elements. An Zhen had sacrificed too much for the great cause of the Dragon Clan. He was truly her good subject.
Spirit Domain, Ice Dragon King Domain
"Domain, unfold!"
With An Zhen's command and the rapid consumption of spirit power within his body, the complete Ice Dragon King Domain was displayed before the World for the first time.
An illusory and unreal ice palace rose from the ground. The high sky of the battle arena was directly replaced by an illusory and magnificent ice crystal dome. Living Ice Dragons seemed to coil around ice pillars, and towering ice pillars supported the majestic hall. What a magnificent spectacle it was, an ice sculpture painting of ten thousand dragons paying homage, an indescribable aura of a primordial overlord rushed forth, and a glorious and beautiful ice crystal throne stood there, as if a giant frost dragon was sleeping there.
The Ice Dragon King Domain is the Pole Ice and Dragon King Domain. It greatly enhances the mastery of ice elements. The extreme cold freezes the opponent's body and spirit power, and with increasing level, it can reach absolute zero—this is Pole Ice. It increases all attributes based on a percentage of spirit power. The Dragon King's might oppresses the enemy's mental force—this is the Dragon King. After possessing the Spirit True Body, the Pole Ice does not melt, and the dragon body is immortal.
The Domain of a divine force Spirit is truly unfair.
An Zhen sighed.
Ice and snow enveloped the monarch as he rose.
"…"
Ma Xiaotao felt very cold. Ever since awakening her Spirit, even when suppressing the evil fire last time, she only felt a cool sensation. However, at this moment, she felt a biting cold that she had never experienced before.
The second and third spirit rings lit up one after another.
In the extreme cold blizzard, the entire World seemed to turn ice-white, with only a Phoenix burning with suppressed fire.
The pitch-black ten-thousand-year spirit ring lit up without hesitation.
As an Inner Courtyard disciple, Ma Xiaotao naturally recognized this as a powerful Domain, but maintaining such a Domain would undoubtedly consume a lot of spirit power. She was a Spirit Emperor, while the opponent was merely a Spirit Ancestor.
Several huge fire meteors fell, heavily striking the illusory palace. The ice and snow palace instantly became transparent, as if it could disappear at any moment. However, before Ma Xiaotao could show joy, the palace returned to its original state the next second.
Universe.
An Zhen's figure instantly appeared before Ma Xiaotao. His ice-frost dragon claw slammed down heavily. Her jade arm, covered in Phoenix Fire, urgently blocked, but how could Phoenix Fire, which hadn't even reached Extreme Fire, withstand the Pole Ice power of the Ice Dragon King?
"Bang!"
Ma Xiaotao's figure retreated backward. The extreme cold entered her body, and a hint of pain flashed in her crimson eyes. A golden-yellow spirit ring lit up, and a scorching straight flame burst from Ma Xiaotao's mouth. The huge Pole Ice Dragon Claw blocked the flame. Ma Xiaotao's flames were too weakened by the Domain. An Zhen slowly walked forward.
Phoenix Wings unfolded, carrying Ma Xiaotao's body backward. After instantly flashing a large distance, her ten-thousand-year spirit ring lit up, Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike. A small Phoenix with a wingspan of one meter charged towards An Zhen like an arrow released from a bowstring. This was her strongest single-target offensive Spirit Ability.
Universe.
In the ice and snow hall, An Zhen's figure instantly appeared behind Ma Xiaotao. His ice-white dragon claw, carrying the extreme cold, punched out.
The Inner Courtyard disciples in the stands gasped, mouths agape.
Was that suppressed figure the Fire Fiend Ma Xiaotao?
Maintaining the Domain, he endured all of Ma Xiaotao's sixth Spirit Ability. How could this guy's spirit power feel even greater than Ma Xiaotao's? And that Teleportation ability, hadn't he already used it twice? Was there no time limit at all?
'Not bad at all.'
Yan Shaozhe looked at Ma Xiaotao, who was being suppressed by An Zhen in the arena.
This child's personality was a bit too strong, and she was prone to acting impulsively. He was truly afraid that this child would end up alone in old age. It was just right to let his junior brother suppress her now.
A few minutes later.
"Admit defeat."
"No…"
The girl, covered in ice and snow, stubbornly shook her head. The Phoenix Fire on her body was already very faint, only barely defending against some cold. One beautiful leg was already somewhat stiff from the cold. Ma Xiaotao was waiting, waiting for An Zhen's spirit power to be exhausted.
This was the most difficult battle she had ever fought. Her proud flames were completely suppressed. Although she was the one with the higher spirit power level, she had been fighting and fleeing.
The powerful single-target Spirit Ability, the opponent directly dodged it.
Phoenix Fire could not contend with Pole Ice. She even felt her body was somewhat frozen stiff.
Within the Ice Dragon King Domain, An Zhen was enhanced, and Ma Xiaotao was weakened. If Ma Xiaotao's ability had been earth, she wouldn't be in such a sorry state now. It just so happened to be ice, which was most countered. In this situation, being able to exert even half of her original abilities was considered good.
"Junior brother, continue."
Yan Shaozhe's spirit power voice transmission echoed in An Zhen's ear.
This was also the reason An Zhen had not ended the battle until now. It was Yan Shaozhe who told him to "bully" Ma Xiaotao, saying it was to temper Ma Xiaotao's personality.
Never mind.
An Zhen retracted his Domain.
The next moment, a hint of joy appeared on Ma Xiaotao's frozen red cheeks. An Zhen had run out of spirit power, her chance had come.
"First Spirit Ability…"
"Xiaotao, you lost."
Yan Shaozhe spoke, and a spirit ring lit up, dispelling the extreme cold from Ma Xiaotao's body.
"Why? Clearly, Uncle-Master's spirit power was exhausted." Ma Xiaotao was full of confusion. She could at least use her fourth Spirit Ability one more time.
An Zhen raised his wrist, "Want to check?"
A slender jade hand grasped An Zhen's wrist. Ma Xiaotao's remaining spirit power probed into it, only to find that the opponent's spirit power flowed like a rolling river, completely in a full spirit power state.
Ma Xiaotao's face was filled with surprise and disbelief.
Was she just fighting a dummy?
"My Spirit can store spirit power."
An Zhen briefly explained.
A sense of desolation appeared on Ma Xiaotao's charming face. A sudden sense of defeat swept over her entire body, "I lost."
The captaincy of the Shrek Academy Soul Fighting Competition team was secured.
"It's okay, don't be discouraged. You're already very talented." An Zhen comforted the nearly twenty-year-old girl like an elder.
"This is for you, consider it a Meeting Gift from your Uncle-Master." An Zhen took out a crimson gel the size of a sugar bean, crystal clear, from his spirit tool. This was one of the "baits" reflected.
Ma Xiaotao instinctively wanted to refuse. She was clearly older, how could she accept a Meeting Gift from her young Uncle-Master? However, when she saw the item, her Spirit's craving instantly blocked her refusal. To An Zhen's surprised gaze, Ma Xiaotao lowered her head and swallowed his fingertip and the chi jiao with her red lips.
An Zhen looked at the glistening saliva on his finger and remained silent for a moment. "Girl, don't move your mouth, move your hands."
"An Zhen~"
Wang Dong's faint voice rang out.
