Chapter 660 Super Martial Soul, Ice Phoenix
The swirling ice and snow formed by the snowflakes swept in like a tornado.
The first thing to be affected by the cold air was undoubtedly the outermost layer of spider web bindings.
Amidst the teeth-grinding cutting sound, the sticky and resilient spiderweb bindings began to show signs of breaking and shattering in the blink of an eye.
The combination of Shuiyue'er and Xuewu, creating a flurry of ice and snow, may not have a powerful impact, but its strength lies in its continuous flow.
Countless snowflakes, like a meat grinder, relentlessly sliced through the purplish-black Blue Silver Grass that protected Tang San and his group. Under the snowflakes, which were sharper than blades, the outermost layer of defense was quickly cut and shattered.
Next to be eroded was Tang San's ten-thousand-year soul skill, Blue Silver Prison.
Tang San's Blue Silver Cage can only release a maximum of seven at a time. In terms of toughness, it is slightly inferior to the Spider Web Binding, but it is strong enough and can be instantly cast at the opponent's location for group control.
Logically speaking, flexibility is vulnerable to sharpness, and sharpness is vulnerable to rigidity. Given the rigidity of the Blue Silver Cage, its defensive effect against the cutting of falling ice and snow should be better than that of the flexible spider web binding.
However, this is not the case.
This seemingly advantageous Blue Silver Cage couldn't withstand the Ice and Snowfall technique orchestrated by Shui Yue'er for long.
The snowflakes, sharp as knives, clashed fiercely with the outermost blue-silver cage, scattering grass clippings and snowflakes in all directions.
The seven-layered blue-silver cage was quickly covered in icy frost under the relentless attacks of ice and snow. Then, layer by layer, it was cut, shattered, and annihilated, dissipating into soul light and disappearing.
After all, no matter how tough Blue Silver Grass is, it is just a blade of grass that has transformed into vines. When faced with the Ice Tornado, which has the attribute of extreme cold, its defensive ability is greatly reduced after being naturally countered.
If anyone could see Tang San's face inside the cocoon formed by the Blue Silver Grass at this moment, they would find that his expression had become extremely ugly.
Although Tang San had high expectations for Tianshui Academy before the match, he was still surprised by the strength of the opposing team, who even had a dual-person martial soul fusion skill.
He could see Shui Yue'er and Xue Wu using their Martial Soul Fusion Technique, and he even tried to stop them at the beginning, but he was too late, which led to the current dangerous situation.
The power of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill is truly extraordinary.
Even someone as confident as Tang San didn't dare to directly confront the attack with his body. He could only do his best to use his Blue Silver Grass, a grass-type martial soul, to layer and entwine himself to protect himself.
Shui Yue'er was in control of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill "Falling Snow and Ice". Although her body was merged with Xue Wu in the ice and snow tornado, she could clearly feel the resistance encountered when the snowflakes attacked.
Although the Blue Silver Cage that Tang San had placed was quickly shattered under her attack, Shui Yue'er also noticed that her and Xue Wu's soul power was being consumed at an extremely rapid pace.
While the Martial Soul Fusion Skill is powerful, it also consumes a huge amount of resources.
Moreover, Shui Yue'er is not yet very proficient in mastering the Martial Soul Fusion Skill "Falling Snow and Ice," and it has not reached the same level of stability, reliability, and perfection as when her sister Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu perform it together.
If things continue as they are now, it won't be long before her and Xuewu's soul power is completely exhausted.
Even if they manage to break through Tang San's defensive formation, they might not be able to inflict much damage on the Shrek Seven Devils.
However, Shui Yue'er wasn't worried about anything. She just wanted to test the power of her Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Ice and Snow Drifting. As long as she achieved her goal, the consumption of soul power didn't matter.
As for those Shrek members...
With their older sister Shui Bing'er backing them up, they can't run away.
With her mind racing, Shui Yue'er increased her soul power output.
Xue Wu, who was one with her, also increased her soul power output.
In an instant, the snow tornado formed by the falling snowflakes suddenly became even more powerful.
The dark clouds in the sky surged violently, sprinkling down even more icy rain. Amidst the howling of the biting cold, the icy rain transformed into countless crystalline snowflakes, slicing towards Tang San and the others like sharp ice blades.
In just a short while, the seven layers of blue silver cages that Tang San had set up shattered, and even the blue silver protective layer quickly peeled off, revealing the seven people hidden inside.
The Shrek Seven Devils felt a chill run through their bodies, and in an instant, they were all surrounded by ice and snow.
Without the protection of the Blue Silver Grass, the extreme cold brought by the falling snow instantly invaded their bodies, causing them to tremble instinctively and forcing them to activate their soul power to protect themselves.
At this moment, Tang San suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground.
The reason for this is that all the Blue Silver Grass he summoned was destroyed, and the abnormal shattering of his Martial Soul would inevitably bring backlash.
Tang San was injured as a result.
"The other woman."
Seeing this, Xiao Wu quickly stepped forward to help Tang San up, letting him lean against her.
A soft sensation came from behind his shoulder. Tang San smelled Xiao Wu's scent, and his slightly listless spirits immediately lifted.
"Xiao Wu, don't worry, I'm fine. I just used up a lot of soul power, but I'll be fine after a little recovery. Hmm?"
However, before Tang San could finish speaking, a thick object was suddenly shoved into his mouth.
It's the Oscars.
As for the thick object that was suddenly stuffed into Tang San's mouth, it was naturally Oscar's recovery sausage.
Seeing Tang San suddenly spit out blood and become weak, looking like he had exhausted himself, Oscar didn't even think twice. He muttered a lewd soul incantation, rolled a large recovery sausage in his hands, and immediately stuffed it into Tang San's mouth.
Tang San was caught off guard and had a large sausage stuffed into his throat; he nearly choked to death.
But before he could react, Oscar exerted force, and the thick, restorative sausage was completely submerged in his throat.
At this point, it was too late for Tang San to spit it out; he could only swallow it down with gurgling sounds.
A moment later, Tang San pounded his chest and swallowed a large sausage. His gaze shot towards Oscar with murderous intent, but seeing the innocent and concerned look on Oscar's face, the words of blame that had been stuck in his throat suddenly became impossible to utter.
They could only awkwardly turn their attention to the other little monsters in Shrek Academy:
"Mu Bai, Tian Heng, Fatty, listen to my command. As soon as the enemy's Martial Soul Fusion Technique ends, you will launch an attack immediately."
Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, and Ma Hongjun were currently struggling against the corrosive effects of the extreme cold and the sharp cutting of the Snow Dance Tornado. Upon hearing Tang San's words, the three of them turned around in unison, looking at him in surprise.
"What? You mean, we should launch the attack?"
"Yes, we will take the initiative to attack." Tang San nodded firmly, then explained:
"Although the opponent's Martial Soul Fusion Skill is extremely threatening, it also consumes a huge amount of soul power, so it definitely won't last long."
"In addition, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill has aftereffects. After the skill ends, the two people who used the fusion skill together will usually lose their ability to fight due to the depletion of their soul power."
"This means that the other side will lose two important combat forces, and both of them are at the Soul Master level."
At this point, Tang San paused, a hint of confusion and relief appearing in his deep black eyes:
"Although I don't know why they would use such a stupid tactic against us, a single Martial Soul Fusion Skill can't defeat us. Instead, we've lost an agility-type Soul Master and a support-type Soul Master for nothing."
"But no matter what, this is in our best interest."
"The other side lost two men, while we are all unharmed. Seven against five, the advantage is on our side."
After speaking, before Dai Mubai and the others could reply, Tang San began making tactical adjustments and assigning attack tasks to his teammates:
"Mu Bai, Tian Heng, you two will be responsible for holding back the three offensive Soul Masters in the front row."
"Fatty, you deal with the remaining level 41 agility-type Battle Soul Master. Just hold him off; there's no need to engage him head-on."
"Xiao Ao, Rongrong, you two are responsible for assisting Fatty. Be sure to provide supplies and attribute boosts as needed."
Through the swirling snowflakes and icy tornadoes, Tang San glanced at Shui Bing'er, who remained calm and composed opposite him, his brows furrowing deeply. He then turned to look at Xiao Wu, who was supporting him.
"Xiao Wu, you and I will fight Shui Bing'er together."
"The opponent's performance is too strange, unusually calm. However, I have a very strong feeling that as long as we can eliminate Shui Bing'er, the victory of this match will be ours."
At this moment, Dai Mubai and the others still formed a circle around Tang San, gathering their soul power to resist the extreme cold and snow sweeping in from outside the circle while listening to Tang San's tactical arrangements.
After Tang San finished speaking, although everyone hesitated, they all nodded in agreement.
Just as Tang San had predicted, the combination of Shui Yue'er and Xue Wu's "Ice and Snow Falling" technique did not last long; in less than three minutes, it began to weaken.
Furthermore, the fusion of Shui Yue'er and Xue Wu's martial souls began to become unstable, showing faint signs of separation.
"Now's the time! Attack!"
A hint of purple flickered in Tang San's eyes. With his keen observation skills, which allowed him to see through illusions, he vaguely sensed this change and immediately shouted, issuing the order to attack.
Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng received instructions and simultaneously broke away from the Shrek Seven Devils' formation, heading straight for the three offensive-type Soul Masters in the front row.
"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
"Thunderous Fury!"
During the attack, the roar of a tiger and the cry of a dragon rang out simultaneously as Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng unleashed their respective enhanced soul skills.
The White Tiger Vajra Transformation causes Dai Mubai's muscles to swell and black horizontal stripes to appear on his skin. During the two-quarter-hour transformation period, his resistance to abnormal states, as well as his attack power, defense power, and strength, all double simultaneously.
Thunderous Fury temporarily puts Yu Tianheng into a berserk state, unleashing immense power, increasing his attack power by 100% and his soul power by 50%. If he doesn't actively stop it, it will continue until he runs out of energy.
"Hai Rou, Ruo Shui, Liu Yu, go and play with them. They're after you."
Seeing Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng suddenly attacking their side, Shui Bing'er's icy blue eyes flashed with wisdom as she saw through their intentions at a glance.
"Yes, eldest sister."
Yu Hairou, Qiu Ruoshui, and Shen Liuyu immediately rushed out to meet their opponents.
Yu Hairou was facing Yu Tianheng. Her soul power level was 43, so it wouldn't be a problem for her to entangle Yu Tianheng, who was 44.
Qiu Ruoshui and Shen Liuyu then approached Dai Mubai.
Both of them were level 39 Soul Masters. Although their strength was not as great as Dai Mubai's level 43 Soul Sect, they cooperated well and fought to a standstill with Dai Mubai.
On the other side, at Tang San's signal, Ma Hongjun unleashed a Phoenix Fire Line directly at another agility-type Soul Master from Tianshui Academy.
But Gu Qingbo, with his quick reflexes, easily dodged it.
The two then engaged in battle.
However, Ma Hongjun's strength was ultimately a bit weak. Even with the assistance and boosts provided by Oscar and Ning Rongrong, he was still completely overwhelmed by Gu Qingbo.
Every attack that landed on Ma Hongjun caused him to let out a bloodcurdling scream.
For a moment, only Shui Bing'er, Tang San, and Xiao Wu remained on the field without making any moves.
The two sides seemed to be locked in a stalemate, remaining in place.
In Tang San's opinion, Shui Bing'er was undoubtedly a rare beauty. Whether it was her appearance, figure, or temperament, she was an excellent choice.
She wore a light blue dress, had long light blue hair, a fair complexion, delicate features, and a pair of calm, icy blue eyes that resembled both sparkling ice crystals and two captivating gemstones, conveying a sense of wisdom through her gaze.
At first glance, this girl doesn't seem particularly stunning, but upon closer inspection, her beauty becomes increasingly apparent—a hazy, ethereal beauty that grows more beautiful the more you look at her.
In Tang San's mind, Shui Bing'er was definitely a stunning beauty on par with Huo Wu of Blazing Fire Academy. The only difference was that the former's beauty was more subtle, unlike the latter's flamboyant beauty.
This may be related to the fact that her martial soul is an ice-attribute martial soul.
Seeing that Tang San was staring intently at Shui Bing'er, how could the hot-tempered rogue rabbit next to him possibly stand still?
When jealousy got the better of her, her head exploded.
The little rationality left in her mind was instantly overwhelmed by the raging fire of jealousy. Before Tang San could give any command, she pushed off with her legs and leaped forward.
Upon seeing this, Tang San instantly came to his senses.
However, he did not stop Xiao Wu, but followed closely behind and attacked with her.
At the same time, a completely black hammer appeared in the palm of his left hand.
This time, Tang San did not use the Blue Silver Grass spirit, but instead used his second spirit – the Clear Sky Hammer.
Tang San now fully understands that the Blue Silver Grass's abilities are extremely limited when facing martial souls and skills with ice attributes.
In that case, it would be better to just use the Haotian Hammer.
This is also a good opportunity to test the results of my training with the Haotian Hammer over the past few days. Let's use Shui Bing'er in front of me as a test subject.
Facing Tang San and Xiao Wu attacking her, Shui Bing'er remained expressionless, merely glancing indifferently at the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang San's left hand before withdrawing her gaze.
But she didn't do nothing either.
Suddenly, a hazy blue light enveloped Shui Bing'er's body. Then, the blue light converged, becoming clearer and brighter, and a phoenix silhouette, entirely blue and white, appeared behind her.
It was her martial soul, the Ice Phoenix, a super martial soul possessing the ultimate ice attribute.
