“Captain, Ice and Snow Drifting is completely ineffective against him. Should we give up?”

During the execution of the Spirit Fusion Ability, Xue Wu looked at Xuan Ming, who was easily resisting the ice and snow impact, and a hint of regret welled up in her heart.

This was originally their trump card, planned to be used in the finals, but now it had been exposed too early to everyone.

It was foreseeable that in the upcoming matches, opponents would surely devise strategies against her, and even if they forcefully activated the Spirit Fusion Ability again, its power would be greatly diminished.

“No, continue,” Shui Bing’er said firmly, without the slightest hesitation.

Xue Wu was slightly taken aback. “You’re going to use your full power? You’ll seriously overdraw yourself.”

At this moment, Ice and Snow Drifting was not the peak state of their Spirit Fusion Ability.

The true method was to inject the fused spirit power into Shui Bing’er’s Ice Phoenix Spirit, forcefully activating the innate power of her Beast Spirit.

Although the Burst power would exceed Ice and Snow Drifting, the consumption would be equally astonishing.

If she used this move, she would be fine, but Shui Bing’er would fall into weakness for a period of time until her Ice Phoenix Spirit stabilized.

“I have a way to recover. Now, I want to see how big the gap between us and him really is,” Shui Bing’er said.

Sixty-third rank, she couldn’t believe this, but now there was an opportunity to verify it.

“Alright.” Xue Wu didn’t ask further and cooperated with Shui Bing’er, integrating the energy of the Spirit Fusion Ability into her Spirit.

A clear phoenix cry resounded within the blue light pillar that shot up into the sky, suppressing the snowflakes that flew up all over the arena. The suppression of the ice and snow weakened, but the phoenix cry brought new mental pressure.

In mid-air, snowflakes condensed together, gradually taking shape. An Ice Phoenix, seven meters long, appeared out of thin air, its body becoming increasingly solid amidst the swirling snow.

Seeing this scene, most of the audience, and even many people in the VIP section, began to waver.

“There truly are many talented individuals,” Bibi Dong said, raising her eyebrows slightly.

“Yue Guan, do you think their move can break Xuan Ming’s defense?”

Yue Guan looked at the Ice Phoenix flying in the arena. “It should be able to break through the colorless wall defense, but to pose a threat to him… that’s unlikely.”

Xuan Ming’s colorless wall could only be considered a special developed skill of his Beast Spirit Domain, a self-created Spirit Ability. It was fine for blocking ordinary attacks, but the explosive power of this Spirit Fusion Ability was too great; it probably couldn’t be blocked.

Back in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Xuan Ming had already obtained his fifth spirit ring. Now he had also obtained the spirit ring of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, which meant that Xuan Ming was now a six-ring Spirit Emperor!

The power of this Spirit Fusion Ability was indeed formidable. If it were any other team here, the outcome would have been decided the moment this Spirit Fusion Ability was successfully released.

But for Xuan Ming’s spirit power, which was above rank sixty, this move could not pose a threat.

“Why are they all going all out like this…”

Xuan Ming deactivated the colorless wall defense. He knew his colorless wall couldn’t block the next attack, so there was no need to block it.

“You guys…”

Before Xuan Ming could finish his sentence, the six individuals, including Gu Yuena, rushed off the fighting stage as if their feet were greased, then turned around and stared at him in unison.

“Go for it!”

Xuan Ming fell silent.

Something’s not right! How did Gu Yuena get led astray? It’s only been a few days?

“Xuan Ming, I can’t control the power of this move. If you can’t block it, you’d better get down quickly.”

The Ice Phoenix, gliding down from the sky, deliberately slowed its speed, and Shui Bing’er’s voice emanated from the blue light of the Spirit Fusion Ability.

At the same time, the Tianshui Academy team members also jumped off the fighting stage one after another.

“You are much more polite than the people from Blazing Academy.” Xuan Ming withdrew his gaze from below the stage, slowly raised his right hand, and a white light once again filled the entire arena.

“But you all made the same mistake.”

In an instant, the ice and snow, which had originally begun to wildly dance out of control, inexplicably stabilized.

But this was not suppression, but a more powerful control over ice and snow.

“Overestimating yourselves.” Xuan Ming clenched his right hand, and the ice and snow throughout the arena once again began to dance wildly, surging towards the uncontrolled Ice Phoenix descending from the sky.

“What are you doing! Are you crazy?!” Shui Bing’er’s shocked and angry voice came from within the blue light pillar.

This guy was actually enhancing the power of ice and snow condensed within the Ice Phoenix!

Was he implying that the Ice Phoenix’s power wasn’t enough?

“You’re the ones who are a bit crazy.” Xuan Ming clenched his right hand tightly. The power of ice and snow that was originally surging towards the Ice Phoenix seemed to be controlled by an invisible large hand, injecting itself madly into the Ice Phoenix’s body with a mysterious and swift posture.

The Ice Phoenix’s body, which originally emitted a cold blue light, now glowed even more intensely, as if it were about to ignite. Every feather on its body shimmered with dazzling cold light.

Even though she had lost control of the Ice Phoenix, Shui Bing’er could still clearly feel a powerful, irresistible force madly rushing into the Ice Phoenix.

Finally, just before the Ice Phoenix was about to land, it abruptly stopped. The wildly dancing ice and snow instantly flew up into the sky, completely covering the fighting stage, making it impossible to see the situation inside from the outside.

Looking at the Ice Phoenix, suspended in mid-air and close at hand, Xuan Ming gently tapped its head. “It’s just a match, not a fight to the death. Is it really necessary to use such an uncontrollable move?”

Shui Bing’er, within the blue light, was stunned.

The Ice Phoenix was her Spirit, even if it was out of control, but now control of this thing had actually been seized by Xuan Ming!

This strange feeling was as if she herself was being controlled by Xuan Ming!

“Little brother, don’t tease young girls at a time like this, you’ll get stabbed,” Ice Dragon King said strangely.

“Who did I tease?” Xuan Ming was a bit speechless.

He was just trying to see if he could seize control of Shui Bing’er’s Ice Phoenix, just as he had seized Huo Wu’s control over Huo Wu Yaoyang (Fire Dance Bright Sun).

Huo Wu’s Huo Wu Yaoyang (Fire Dance Bright Sun) was pure flame energy, but this Ice Phoenix was a collection of Shui Bing’er’s and Xue Wu’s Spirit energy. It was a bit strenuous to seize, but after injecting enough ice energy into it, it was still possible to seize.

Of course, it wasn’t worth it. Nearly two-thirds of the energy contained in this Ice Phoenix now was injected by him.

In battle, such a thing could only be done when there was an absolute advantage, so it had no practical value.

“Little brother, this Ice Phoenix is that little girl’s Spirit, right?” Ice Dragon King said.

“And a human’s Beast Spirit, after cultivating above rank thirty, is actually almost one with the Spirit Master themselves, right?”

Xuan Ming’s eyes changed slightly as he looked at the inexplicably humanized gaze of the Ice Phoenix before him.

“…”

“My apologies.”

Xuan Ming withdrew his hand, taking away the powerful ice energy within it, and the giant Ice Phoenix instantly transformed into ice crystals and dispersed.

The next moment, Shui Bing’er and Xue Wu’s Spirit Fusion Ability also ended.

However, both girls’ faces were now deathly pale. The excessive overdrawing of their spirit power made them unable to even stand steadily.

At this moment, the host, Dou Dou, slowly flew back from outside the arena, gently landing in the center of the ice-sealed fighting stage. She first looked at the unharmed Xuan Ming, then at the extremely weak Shui Bing’er and Xue Wu. “Uh… are you still fighting?”

Shui Bing’er looked at Xuan Ming, her expression extremely complex. “We lost.”

“Thank you for the concession.” Xuan Ming didn’t say much more and turned to leave.

Host Dou Dou didn’t delay and immediately announced the results of the match.

“In this match, the Royal Fighting Team wins!”

…The match ended, and back in the resting area, Dugu Yan and her group quickly gathered around him.

“What were you doing up there just now?”

“And you even specifically covered the fighting arena. You weren’t teasing them, were you?”

“You made eye contact with them before the match even started, and you still looked after you fought, right?”

“Exactly, exactly!”

Xuan Ming put down the teacup in his hand. “I was protecting the fighting stage.”

If that move had smashed onto the fighting stage, the central fighting arena would have been destroyed, and the schedule would definitely be affected. Just thinking about it was troublesome.

“Then why were you looking at her eye to eye at the beginning?” Dugu Yan asked with a suspicious look.

“Don’t think I don’t know, those women from the Tianshui team have tried to sneak up to the top floor of the hotel several times recently.”

“I remember that woman hasn’t been here. Did I miss something?”

“…”

Facing everyone’s suspicions, Xuan Ming sighed, stood up, and gave up on further explanations.

“I’m going back to rest first.”

“Ah?” Ning Rongrong was startled, reaching out to pull Xuan Ming back, but he took a step forward, falling into a dark void and disappearing from the lounge.

“He… is he angry?”

“That joke seems to have gone too far…”
