Wang Bo was a cold-hearted individual, showing no concern for tenderness or chivalry. However, as he said, this was a Soul Arena, where gender didn't matter—only victory counted, and the victor was the true king.
Determined to end the fight quickly, he initiated the attack.
A rapidly spinning scythe hurtled towards Shui Yue'er.
As an Agility Attack Soul Master, Shui Yue'er's speed was formidable.
She moved swiftly, leaving agile afterimages on the stage.
While evading the scythe's assault, Shui Yue'er launched a counterattack.
From her hands, she released streams of cold water that rapidly froze in mid-air, forming sharp ice blades that flew towards Wang Bo.
Watching the scene, Feng Xiaotian raised his eyebrows and smiled:
"Shui Yue'er's soul skill is somewhat similar to our Wind Blade."
"Mm, this is her first soul skill, Ice Blade."
Shui Bing'er added:
"Don't be fooled by Yue'er's young age or her seemingly carefree demeanor. In reality, she is meticulous and highly skilled in combat, not weaker than any other member of our Tianshui Team."
"Of course! Otherwise, Dean Meng wouldn't have allowed her to compete here."
In the center of the stage, Shui Yue'er and Wang Bo were evenly matched.
Against the cold-blooded Wang Bo, she didn't fall behind at all.
Shui Yue'er intensified her offensive.
She activated her second soul skill, Zero Degree Impact.
With a single-handed motion, she released a spiral of icy attack.
Wang Bo hurried to block but was forced to retreat repeatedly.
The audience was thrilled.
(The power of Zero Degree Impact was comparable to Dai Mubai's White Tiger Lightwave.)
As the battle continued, neither side gained a clear advantage.
However, Wang Bo's composure began to crack.
The spectators were overwhelmingly supporting Shui Yue'er.
As a sensitive Agility Attack Soul Master, Shui Yue'er skillfully dodged Wang Bo's scythe attacks.
Wang Bo, struggling to secure a victory against a younger girl, felt increasingly impatient.
The clash between Beast Spirit Souls and Weapon Spirit Souls was gradually tilting in Shui Yue'er's favor.
Seizing the moment, Shui Yue'er launched an even more powerful attack.
Her third soul skill, Extreme Cold Tornado, was activated.
She blew out a massive gust of icy wind mixed with shards of ice, creating a swirling wall of frost that surrounded Wang Bo.
This soul skill stunned the audience once again.
Xiao Luo turned to Feng Xiaotian, exclaiming:
"Boss, Shui Yue'er's soul skill is somewhat similar to your Wind Blade Cage! Except hers is Ice Blade, which is impressive!"
Shui Bing'er looked at Feng Xiaotian, puzzled.
"Wind Blade Cage? Is that one of your soul skills?"
"Mm, it's a self-created skill that can encircle the opponent from all directions."
"Yue'er's Extreme Cold Tornado is slightly less effective compared to that. If faced with an opponent capable of flight, they could escape from above."
"The person on the stage doesn't have flying abilities, so it seems he can't escape."
Shui Bing'er nodded with a smile.
"You're right! Yue'er's swirling ice wall is hard to break through. Even if the opponent manages to create a gap, it will quickly close. The ice power within the tornado gradually erodes the opponent's body, and while breaking through the barrier isn't difficult, it consumes a lot of soul power."
"Indeed impressive."
Feng Xiaotian, along with Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, had experienced the chilling power of the Tianshui Team's ice abilities.
Being trapped in ice certainly drained a lot of soul power to prevent freezing injuries.
Shui Yue'er's performance on the stage brought many surprises to Feng Xiaotian.
She could utilize the wind element, integrating it with her first soul skill to form icy wind blades.
She could also combine it with her third soul skill to create a more powerful Ice Blade Cage.
While Feng Xiaotian was deep in thought, the audience erupted in cheers once more.
The enthusiastic applause was due to Wang Bo's struggle to withstand the pressure.
To counter the Extreme Cold Tornado's swirling wall, Wang Bo's soul power was nearly depleted.
Shui Yue'er seized the opportunity and delivered her final blow, Zero Degree Impact!
The spiraling ice slammed into Wang Bo, sending him flying.
With a resounding crash, Wang Bo and his Iron Scythe fell to the ground.
The audience erupted in cheers, their applause thunderous.
"She won!"
"Shui Yue'er won!"
"The victor is that little girl!"
Shui Bing'er and the others were also thrilled, waving excitedly at Shui Yue'er.
Wang Bo staggered to his feet from the ground, his body still trembling from the cold.
"This match, I lost!"
Prideful Wang Bo was unwilling to accept defeat at the hands of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. With those words, he left without a backward glance.
Shui Yue'er waved at the spectators in the stands, acknowledging their support.
The host, finally regaining his composure, hurried to the arena and announced loudly:
"The winner of this match is Soul Master Shui Yue'er, with a record of 1 win and 0 losses! Wang Bo's record is 10 wins and 4 losses."
Returning to the stands, Shui Yue'er embraced her sister with excitement.
"Sister, I did it! I won!"
"Mm, good job, little sister. You were the best!"
Huo Wushuang joked:
"Yue'er's pretty impressive! We were all deceived by her innocent appearance."
"Where? Don't laugh at me."
"Ha ha."
Among the six participants in the one-on-one matches, only Feng Xiaotian and Shui Bing'er had yet to compete.
The previous four had all won their matches.
No one knew what kind of opponents they would face or how the results would turn out.
Shui Bing'er, always calm and composed, showed no signs of nervousness.
Feng Xiaotian also remained relaxed.
Next, the group watched two more matches.
Xiao Luo joked:
"Why haven't it been time for Boss and Bing'er yet? Could it be that you two are going to be paired together?"
Xiao Luo's comment caused a stir.
Everyone turned to look at Feng Xiaotian and Shui Bing'er.
Huo Wushuang teased:
"Now that you mention it, with so few contestants left, it's actually quite possible!"
In one-on-one matches at the same level, it was not uncommon to draw familiar opponents.
Shui Bing'er smiled calmly.
"I haven't fought with Tian Ge yet. If we do end up as opponents, I hope Tian Ge won't go easy on me."
"Alright."
Huo Wushuang joked:
"Come on, men should show some tenderness. Don't be as ruthless as that cold-blooded Wang Bo with the girls."
Huo Wu poked her brother on the head and said angrily:
"Giving your all is the most basic respect for your opponent. Do you understand?"
"Ha, Huo Wu is right. If we do end up facing each other, please give it your all, Tian Ge, so I can see the difference between us."
Feng Xiaotian nodded.
"Alright, no problem."
The match on the stage concluded.
Suddenly, the host's voice echoed from the arena.
"Please prepare for the next match. Contestants Feng Xiaotian and Shui Bing'er, get ready. You will be on stage in one minute!"
