Chapter 66: Second Form: Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow (Part 1)

Huo Wushuang had once criticized his ice flames as being disgusting, but in Mu Yang's opinion, if you really want to talk about disgusting, his ice flames couldn't compare to the unique ice flames in front of him, which combined both offense and control.

Of course, the feeling of "disgusting" was entirely from the perspective of an opponent. From one's own standpoint, it was absolutely stunning!

"Not bad! A very powerful Martial Soul Fusion skill.

Binger is a Level 33 Soul Elder, and Xiaoyang is a Level 25 Great Soul Master. But with this unique ice flame, the strength of the Ice Flame Phoenix can definitely rival the best among four-ring Soul Masters.

If Xiaoyang's level could also reach three rings and gain three additional soul rings, the Ice Flame Phoenix might even rival a five-ring Soul King," Huo Lie commented objectively.

Generally speaking, a dual Martial Soul Fusion skill elevates soul masters' strength by one level, but it isn't always absolute. The strength of a Martial Soul Fusion skill depends on various factors.

These include the type of fusion skill, the soul masters' soul power level, the compatibility between their Martial Souls, and whether they possess suitable secret techniques. Even the configuration of soul rings is one of the factors that influence the specific strength of a Martial Soul Fusion skill.

It could be said that Mu Yang's Level 25 soul power and the Ice Flame Saint Shadow Martial Soul without any soul rings significantly held back Shui Binger's potential.

After all, with low soul power, the enhancement effect of the fusion skill naturally diminishes, and the lack of soul rings on the Ice Flame Saint Shadow Martial Soul similarly reduces the skill's overall power enhancement.

Undoubtedly, soul rings contain immense energy. Otherwise, the Clear Sky Sect's legacy technique, the Great Sumeru Hammer, would be ineffective as a secret method.

Even with Mu Yang dragging her down, it did not diminish the strength of the Ice Flame Phoenix. Even though its current capabilities were quite singular, its unique ice flame, combining freezing and burning effects, was enough to make opponents of comparable basic strength despair.

"One trick is enough to dominate!"

From high above, Mu Yang's voice rang out.

Following this, under Shui Binger's control, the Ice Flame Phoenix descended from the sky and handed over the dominance of the Martial Soul Fusion skill to Mu Yang.

The next moment, brilliant ice-blue light radiated from the Ice Flame Phoenix.

Through this ice-blue brilliance, Huo Lie saw the form of the Ice Flame Phoenix shift. Within moments, the six-meter-long Ice Flame Phoenix transformed into a humanoid figure with flowing ice-blue hair and clad in icy phoenix armor.

This full-body icy phoenix armor covered everything except the eyes. It was adorned with blue phoenix patterns, exquisitely beautiful. Combined with the illusory ice flames resembling ice-blue mist enveloping it, the figure appeared like an Ice Phoenix Warrior from a frozen kingdom.

"Your Martial Soul Fusion skill has two forms?" Huo Lie asked in surprise upon seeing the transformation.

"Yes, this is the second form of the Martial Soul Fusion skill: Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow.

The Ice Flame Phoenix form is led by Binger, with her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul as the primary and my Ice Flame Saint Shadow as the secondary. On the other hand, the Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow form is led by me, with my Ice Flame Holy Shadow as the primary and her Ice Phoenix as the secondary.

Both forms revolve around controlling the unique ice flames. The difference lies in the capabilities: the Ice Flame Phoenix form has the advantage of flight and significantly stronger basic strength.

Meanwhile, the Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow form lacks the ability to fly, and its basic strength isn't as high as the Ice Flame Phoenix. However, its precision control over the unique ice flames is far superior," Mu Yang's voice explained from within the icy phoenix armor.

Without needing further elaboration, Huo Lie noticed that compared to the Ice Flame Phoenix, the Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow's aura was about 30% weaker.

However, Huo Lie didn't underestimate the Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow. On the contrary, he believed that the humanoid form of Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow was stronger than the Ice Flame Phoenix.

This was because the Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow was humanoid, while the Ice Flame Phoenix was beast-shaped.

Even though the Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow had weaker basic strength, when combined with various secret techniques, its actual combat effectiveness likely surpassed that of the beast-shaped Ice Flame Phoenix.

After all, soul masters were fundamentally human, not beasts. Additionally, their Martial Soul Fusion skill wasn't melee-focused, and the humanoid Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow was better suited for utilizing secret techniques.

"Xiaoyang, Binger, let me test your strength," Shui Yanyu stepped forward, addressing Mu Yang and Shui Binger in their Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow state.

"Auntie, please go easy on us," Mu Yang joked.

Even if Shui Yanyu hadn't offered, Mu Yang had planned to test their Martial Soul Fusion skill's power against these three, aiming to evaluate its upper limits.

"You're quick to call me auntie, huh?" Shui Yanyu teased, smiling at Mu Yang's casual address.

"Why not? You're Binger's aunt, so you're my aunt too! Right, Binger?" Mu Yang responded matter-of-factly.

'Mu Yang, Auntie is right. You're so thick-skinned!' Shui Binger's shy voice echoed in Mu Yang's mind.

Mu Yang: 'Well, do you like it?'

Shui Binger: "…"

"Ice Sparrow, Possession!"

Facing Mu Yang and Shui Binger in their Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow state, Shui Yanyu's body radiated an icy blue soul power. With the sound of a sparrow's cry, eight soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, and black—emerged. A chilling aura spread, and a translucent ice-blue Ice Sparrow appeared behind her.

Seeing this, Mu Yang stopped joking. Ice-blue light flickered around him as he activated the Ice Flame Secret Technique: Ice Flame Armor and Ice Flame Domain.

In an instant, the Martial Soul Fusion skill: Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow condensed a layer of ice-blue armor around its body, with six circular ice mirrors orbiting it.

"Huh? Xiaoyang, is this a self-created soul skill?" Shui Yanyu asked in surprise, noticing the Ice Flame Armor and the six surrounding ice mirrors.

Mu Yang nodded. "Yes, I currently cultivate a food-type Martial Soul, which lacks combat capabilities. So, I had to rely on self-created soul skills to make up for it. It's not extremely powerful but enough to prevent me from being dominated by soul masters of the same level."

Huo Wushuang: You, dominated by soul masters of the same level? More like surpassing and dominating them!

Mu Yang: Just being humble. Don't take it seriously.
