182: Ice Phoenix Martial SpiritThe cold flames burning his whole body gathered in his right leg, and Lu Buliang fiercely kicked at the falling huge ice phoenix.
Suddenly, huge amounts of energy in the sky collided, without any resistance between them, only a loud bang was heard.
Bang. Boom. Boom. Boom.
Lu Buliang kicked the huge ice phoenix on the head, exploding its entire body. The terrifying energy ripples instantly shattered the protective shield opened by the organizer, and an extreme cold and hot air rushed in all directions.
Whether in the auditorium or the guest seats, all the audience felt threatened by the extreme cold and heat.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin immediately released his soul power to protect the entire venue, thus saving all the spectators from the suffering of ice and fire.
A moment later.
The snowstorm stopped and everything returned to calm.
The five fighting arenas and even the walls inside were covered with a thin layer of frost.
Xuewu fell from the sky and crashed outside the central fighting arena, losing her qualification to compete.
Shui Bing'er hit the edge of the fighting arena. After her body rolled a few times, she used her excellent adaptability to release an ice wall to protect her body at the moment she was about to fall off the arena.
At the critical moment, Shui Bing'er leaned against the ice wall and did not fall off the fighting arena.
Glancing ahead, Shui Bing'er couldn't see Lü Buliang's figure, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. But when she looked up inadvertently, she saw Lü Buliang slowly descending from the sky and landing steadily on the fighting spirit stage.
He was actually unharmed? Shui Bing'er's eyes were blank for a moment.
The chill of falling ice and snow was enough to slow down anyone's movements. The moment the Ice Phoenix fell, the temperature on the Soul Fighting Arena had dropped to an extremely terrifying level. Coupled with the surge of the cold current, she absolutely did not believe that a Soul Emperor who did not activate his martial spirit could remain unharmed from this blow.
However, Lu Buliang did it.
Only Shui Bing'er herself knew how difficult it was to escape from the impact of the Ice Phoenix formed by the falling ice and snow, let alone to smash it to pieces with one kick without using her martial spirit.
She didn't understand why the fusion technique of her and Xuewu's martial souls, plus the power of her own martial soul's origin, couldn't defeat a Soul Emperor who didn't activate his martial soul. Was such a huge gap in strength really the result of a difference of twenty levels of soul power?
This game was a huge blow to Shui Binger.
Losing to Lü Buliang was nothing. After all, he was a Soul Emperor, and a Soul Sect had no chance of winning against a Soul Emperor.
Didn't other elemental academies also fall to Lu Buliang?
However, Tianshui College lost too badly and too shamefully.
They even used the martial soul fusion technique and tried their best, but they couldn't even force out Lu Buliang's martial soul. After this incident, won't Tianshui College be laughed at by other elemental academies for the rest of its life?
When she thought about the reputation of Tianshui College being ruined by her own hands, Shui Bing'er's dazed eyes suddenly became firm. She was still standing on the fighting spirit stage, and Tianshui College had not lost yet!
A loud phoenix cry sounded in the air, and the disappeared Ice Phoenix Martial Spirit reappeared.
Shui Bing'er no longer cared about the serious consequences that forcibly releasing the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul would have on her. At this moment, if she failed to force out Lu Buliang's Martial Soul and failed to save some face for Tianshui College in this defeat, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
A snowstorm blew up on the fighting arena again.
This time the snow and wind were not caused by Xuewu's soul skills, but were the inherent characteristics of the martial soul when the Ice Phoenix martial soul was fully released.
The chill rose in the hearts of the audience again. Seeing Shui Bing'er trying to control the Ice Phoenix Martial Spirit that was rampaging in the sky, not only the audience, but also Lu Buliang was a little worried.
Killing is not allowed in the preliminaries. If Shui Binger loses her life, won't I be banned from the competition?
In addition, he felt that he had gone too far. Perhaps in a competition, in front of everyone, it would be a very, very shameful thing for the soul master to defeat him without activating his martial spirit.
Gazing at the Ice Phoenix dancing in the sky and then glancing at Shui Bing'er, Lu Buliang clearly saw the pain she had to endure. Shui Bing'er, who was in full condition, couldn't control a fully released Ice Phoenix martial spirit. Now that she had consumed more than half of her soul power and physical strength, how could she possibly do it?
Once the Ice Phoenix truly gets out of control, it will definitely cause mental and physical harm to Shui Bing'er.
Lu Buliang clearly saw that something like ice crystals had appeared on Shui Bing'er's palms and even on her face. Those were signs that she was infected with a cold poison. The cold poison had already penetrated into her bone marrow. Where the ice crystals appeared, the blood and flesh would turn into real ice cubes.
When her entire body turns into ice crystals, it will shatter at the slightest touch, and Shui Bing'er will die in the shattering.
But Shui Bing'er did not stop. Even though the cold poison had penetrated into her bones and she was suffering from the severe pain of the cold air, she was still trying to control the Ice Phoenix Martial Spirit that had gone out of control in the sky.
Normal people would usually try to stop Shui Bing'er from doing such stupid things.
However, Lu Buliang did not stop it.
The Heterochromatic Eyes were activated, and the ultimate ice and fire energy released by the ultimate ice and fire soul core gathered in the left and right pupils respectively. Lu Buliang's double pupils and mental power simultaneously locked onto the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul that was rampaging in the sky.
Through the locking of his eyes and mental power, Lu Buliang applied the ultimate ice and fire energy to the Ice Phoenix Martial Spirit.
A strange scene appeared. The Ice Phoenix Martial Spirit that was originally out of control no longer made the shrill phoenix cry.
The violent snowstorm gradually died down, and the moment the Ice Phoenix Martial Spirit calmed down, the snowstorm covering the Fighting Spirit Arena stopped.
What surprised Shui Bing'er was that the feeling of the cold poison invading her bone marrow disappeared as the blizzard stopped. Her face, hands, and other body parts that had been frozen into ice crystals returned to flesh and blood, and the cold poison in her body was dispelled by the fiery feeling.
She no longer felt any difficulty in releasing the Ice Phoenix spirit. The Ice Phoenix, which had been flying around everywhere, landed quietly behind her, just like a normal spirit, standing side by side with its master.
Shui Bing'er's heart was filled with confusion and disbelief. At this moment, she could actually control the Ice Phoenix Martial Spirit perfectly. What was going on?
This situation definitely did not occur because Shui Binger's determination to die moved the Ice Phoenix Martial Spirit.
Even the top-level beast spirits normally have no consciousness.
Shui Bing'er can control the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul entirely because the extreme ice and fire energy released by Lu Buliang's pupils has a temporary suppressive effect on the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul.
In a short period of time, as long as the extreme ice energy acting on the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul does not disappear, Shui Bing'er can use the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul to fight like a normal soul master, and can also possess the martial soul.
Why does Shui Bing'er develop towards the control system even though she has the powerful Ice Phoenix spirit?
Because the power of the Ice Phoenix is too overbearing and impossible to control.
In normal battles, Shui Bing'er only borrowed the ice power of the Ice Phoenix. She did not release the Ice Phoenix martial spirit, nor did she have any martial spirit attached to her body.
So she could only use the power of ice to control the enemy and develop towards the control system.
Now that the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul is temporarily suppressed by the extreme ice energy, Shui Bing'er can be possessed by the Ice Phoenix. Then she will change from a control-type soul master to a strong attack-type soul master, and the ice power she uses will also become the real phoenix power.
Looking at the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul behind her, even Shui Bing'er, who never showed her emotions, now showed a look of joy on her face. She subconsciously thought that she could finally control the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul.
However, after discovering that the Ice Phoenix Martial Spirit was covered with a faintly visible black layer, Shui Bing'er was silent for a moment before she figured out, could this black layer be related to Lv Buliang?
Looking at Lv Buliang, Shui Bing'er got the answer from the smile on his face.
"How did you do it?" Shui Bing'er couldn't help but ask.
Lu Buliang did not answer the question directly, but said sarcastically: "I didn't expect you to hide your strength. You didn't even release your martial spirit to fight with a Soul Emperor like me. You are even more arrogant than me."
"That's not what I meant." Shui Bing'er explained, "I have my own reasons for not releasing the Ice Phoenix Martial Spirit. Since you helped me suppress the Ice Phoenix Martial Spirit, you should be able to see my difficulties."
"Now you can use your martial spirit with peace of mind."
Lu Buliang said in a deep voice: "Come on, let's not hide anything anymore. If we respect each other, let's use our martial spirits to fight. No regrets will be left behind."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
After hearing these words, Shui Bing'er's beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Buliang at the same time, and she felt confused.
First he helped to temporarily suppress the Ice Phoenix Spirit, and then he proposed that both sides use their spirits to fight?
Shui Bing'er didn't know whether Lv Buliang did this intentionally or unintentionally, but this was undoubtedly exactly what she wanted.
The seven people from Tianshui College were wiped out by Lü Buliang because he didn't activate his martial soul. This was undoubtedly the greatest humiliation for Tianshui College. Shui Binger forcibly released the Ice Phoenix martial soul regardless of the consequences. Wasn't she trying to fight a desperate battle and force out Lü Buliang's martial soul so as to save some face for Tianshui College's defeat?
Based on her observation and understanding of Lv Buliang these days, Shui Bing'er believed that Lv Buliang's words "both sides should use their martial spirits to fight again" were obviously intentional. What was his purpose?
Was it to make himself lose in a more decent way?
Thinking of this, Shui Bing'er's mouth revealed a trace of bitterness. She was very grateful to Lv Buliang for doing this and saving some face for Tianshui College, but this made her feel even more humiliated.
Am I really that weak and hypocritical, and do I need others to save my face after losing a fight?
The bitterness in Shui Bing'er's heart was replaced by reluctance. When she looked at Lu Buliang again, there was a bit more determination in her eyes.
The sonorous and loud sound of a phoenix rang out behind Shui Bing'er. The wings of the ten-meter-long Ice Phoenix martial spirit fluttered, and its aura suddenly changed. A sense of pressure arose spontaneously, reflecting Shui Bing'er's determination to say this, "Come on. Lu Buliang, I want to beat you!"
The shadow martial spirit emerged illusory, and the entire fighting arena was shrouded in a dark atmosphere, and the surrounding environment became gloomy and dim.
The six spirit rings under Lü Buliang's feet unfolded. This time, he did not look down on his opponent. Instead, he showed the highest respect and reported his information to his opponent, "Lü Buliang, level 65 Battle Spirit Emperor. My spirit is Shadow. Please give me your guidance."
When Shui Bing'er was about to report her information, her vision suddenly went dark, the Ice Phoenix spirit behind her disappeared, and she fell forward in a daze.
Seeing this, Lü Buliang flew away and supported Shui Bing'er in front of him, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Although she was reluctant to admit it, Shui Bing'er still said this with difficulty, "I lost this game. Let's play again next time."
She had frequently activated soul skills during the match and used martial soul fusion skills. Her weak breathing and pale face at this moment proved that her physical and spiritual power were almost overdrawn, and it was impossible for her to fight again.
Lu Buliang knew that he was the first soul master in the elite competition who could completely defeat a team without using his martial soul. This was a supreme honor.
At the same time, Tianshui College was the first team to lose so badly to an opponent that did not use martial spirits. This was an unparalleled shame.
"Sorry." Lu Buliang said with some guilt. He only wanted to show the power he had gained in the past two years, but forgot to consider other people's feelings.
Shui Bing'er looked into Lu Buliang's eyes and shook her head weakly, "I told you it's okay, you don't have to blame yourself. It's true that we were too weak."
She accepted the defeat sincerely. It was nothing shameful that Tianshui College lost to the future champion of this elite competition.
At this time, the referee had already walked onto the fighting stage cautiously.
Coming to Lü Buliang and Shui Bing'er, the referee looked at the two of them supporting each other and seemed to be close. He couldn't help but feel curious. Could it be that these two players had developed feelings for each other?
"Is it over?" the referee asked.
Shui Bing'er nodded weakly, "I lost. Announce the result."
The referee suddenly realized and shouted to all the spectators, "In the fifth round of the preliminaries, Tiandou Team 2 played against Tianshui College. Tiandou Team 2 won the game—"
Upon hearing the result, the audience did not cheer as loudly as before. Instead, there was warm applause. The audience had smiles on their faces, yet it gave people a dignified feeling.
Soul Master is the most noble profession. Even if there are winners and losers in the competition, they will all be equally respected when they are recognized by the audience.
The audience was amazed at the strength displayed by Lu Buliang, and at the same time, they were impressed by Shui Binger's determination and courage to fight for the honor of the academy.
In the eyes of the audience, both sides are winners.
"Good, good. There are so many talented people here." Emperor Xue Ye watched the battles on the five fighting arenas with a fiery gaze, stroked his beard and smiled, "Sect Master Ning, what do you think?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and praised generously: "Whether it is Canghui College, the Four Elements Colleges, or Tiandou Team 2, their performances are all outstanding. Today's young people are amazing."
The more Platinum Bishop Salas looked at Lu Buliang on the stage, the more uncomfortable he felt. He had reported Lu Buliang's information to the Pope before, and he didn't understand why the Pope remained indifferent and even told him not to take any action until Lu Buliang passed the preliminaries?
Passing the qualifiers means qualifying for the finals.
If such a genius is allowed to enter the finals, it would be a pipe dream for the Spirit Hall Academy to win the championship.
When he thought about the possibility that Lu Buliang might defeat the Spirit Hall Academy in front of the audience in the future, Salas became very depressed and sighed helplessly in his heart, "Your Holiness, you still underestimate the excellence of today's young spirit masters and let Lu Buliang enter the finals. Are you planning something?"
The three education committee members of Meng Shen Ji in the guest seats clapped with smiles on their faces.
Seeing that Shrek Academy lost four out of five games, while his own academy won five out of five, Prince Xuexing raised his head and applauded, with a smug look on his face.
Only Xue Qinghe looked a little ugly and felt heavy in his heart when he clapped.
This feeling started when Lu Buliang ran to support Shui Bing'er. Xue Qinghe didn't understand why Lu Buliang kept supporting Shui Bing'er when the game was already over.
They had just met each other for a short time, but they seemed quite close.
