Chapter 84: Frozen into an Ice Pop

The aura of Ultimate Ice erupted abruptly, suppressing the previously aggressive Ma Xiaotao's presence by several levels.

This was the power of attribute suppression!

Although Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix spirit was impressive, it was still far from reaching the level of Ultimate Fire.

Moreover, ice and fire were natural opposites. The stronger one side was, the more it could suppress the other. In the face of Ultimate Ice, Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Evil Fire was completely outmatched.

The intense cold also brought Ma Xiaotao, who was on the verge of losing control, back to some semblance of clarity. Realizing that the person before her was a student wearing the outer court uniform, she restrained most of the power of her spirit skills.

Ding—

A hazy, sky-blue light flashed by, and a terrifyingly cold blue ray shot out from Qing'er's tail stinger, instantly striking Ma Xiaotao's chest.

Ice King's Wrath!

This was the unique innate ability of the Royal Ice Jade Scorpion. Once Qing'er broke through the 100,000-year mark, Ice King's Wrath would evolve into Ice Emperor's Wrath, becoming the strongest single-target attack skill of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan.

Even if Ma Xiaotao hadn't restrained most of her spirit skill's power, she would still have been frozen solid by Qing'er's Ice King's Wrath.

In the next second, the phoenix flames on Ma Xiaotao's body were completely extinguished. The extreme cold of Ultimate Ice spread from her ample "baby feeding station" to her entire body.

The sound of ice forming echoed continuously. In just three seconds, Ma Xiaotao was completely frozen into an ice sculpture, landing in Lin Yun's arms.

He didn't dare let Ma Xiaotao fall to the ground or onto the lake.

After all, the lake had already been frozen into an ice sheet by Ice King's Wrath. Ma Xiaotao, now frozen solid from the inside out, would shatter into a pile of "Wanwan Ice Pops" if she were to fall, despite the high durability of Ultimate Ice.

If that happened, wouldn't Yan Shaoze go insane?

Lin Yun only wanted to give the dean of Shrek Academy a bit of a challenge and, by the way, extort (scratch that) borrow some resources. He never intended to outright kill the brainless but well-endowed Ma Xiaotao.

"Qing'er, you're amazing!" Lin Yun praised with a smile as he looked at Qing'er, who had climbed onto his shoulder.

Having spent several months with Lin Yun and being nourished by Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, Qing'er had now reached a cultivation level of 5,000 years. Although it still couldn't speak, it could understand Lin Yun's words.

Little Qing'er happily waved its tiny pincers, resembling a little girl being praised by her father.

"Alright, come back now!"

Patting Qing'er, which had returned to his robe, Lin Yun couldn't help but feel感慨 (emotionally moved). The power scaling in Douluo Continent was just absurd. Hundred-year-level super spirit beasts like the Titan Giant Ape or Dark Golden Claw Bear could take on ordinary ten-thousand-year spirit beasts.

The Ice Jade Scorpion was no exception. With their Ultimate attribute, their suppression of ordinary spirit beasts was even greater.

A 5,000-year Ice Jade Scorpion, especially in a place like the Extreme North, could easily dominate a Spirit Sage, let alone Qing'er.

It had Ice Explosion Technique!

Yes, that innate spirit skill, Ice Explosion Technique, which even the Ice Emperor didn't have!

Ma Xiaotao would probably be defeated in a single encounter with Qing'er. Start with Ice King's Wrath, then detonate it with Ice Explosion Technique, and Ma Xiaotao wouldn't even leave a trace behind.

Looking at Ma Xiaotao's delicate face, her eyes closed and brows slightly furrowed, Lin Yun's lips curled into a smile. "Why did you have to pick a fight with a cheater like me? Did you really think you could take on someone from the cheater clan?"

After the battle with Ma Xiaotao, Lin Yun had a better estimate of his own combat strength.

At the very least, Ma Xiaotao's flight speed was no match for Lin Yun's. His evolved Golden Shadow Dragon Wings, an external spirit bone, allowed him to completely outpace her in speed. Combined with the elusive spatial teleportation ability of the Demon Spirit external spirit bone, if they were to fight seriously, Lin Yun could easily toy with Ma Xiaotao to death.

Teleport, flash, sneak attack from behind with Dragon-Shattering Fist at close range, then seamlessly follow up with Sky-Rending Dragon Claw—Ma Xiaotao would be doomed.

Even in a head-on confrontation, Lin Yun held his ground against the out-of-control Ma Xiaotao without using his first two enhancement spirit skills.

The Golden Dragon King was still the Golden Dragon King. Even weakened into the Golden Dragon, it was still formidable.

Fighting against someone three spirit rings above him felt no different from fighting someone at his own level.

During the battle, the mask covering Ma Xiaotao's face had already shattered. Although her entire body was frozen solid by Ultimate Ice, she now resembled an immobile... doll.

Lin Yun's evaluation of Ma Xiaotao's appearance: it matched her luxurious figure.

Her delicate, slightly pale face, paired with her curvaceous, long-legged figure, would have made her an inner court goddess no less impressive than Zhang Lexuan, if not for her arrogant and fiery personality.

"Xiaotao!" A startled cry rang out. A white figure flashed by, and a middle-aged man in white robes appeared before Lin Yun with an anxious expression.

After quickly stepping forward and sensing Ma Xiaotao's condition, the man's anxious expression gradually eased.

As a Titled Douluo, he could naturally tell that Ma Xiaotao was unharmed. Although she had been frozen into an ice pop, this was actually a good thing for her, even a great one.

Due to the evil fire, Ma Xiaotao's personality had been affected, making her irritable and quick-tempered. When she couldn't suppress the evil fire, she would often lose control, as she had just done. The only way to suppress it was with ice-attribute treasures or the spirit skills of ice-attribute spirit masters.

Now, look at Qing'er.

A Royal Ice Jade Scorpion, a spirit beast with Ultimate Ice. A single Ice King's Wrath had immediately subdued the evil fire within Ma Xiaotao. The longer she remained frozen by Ice King's Wrath, the more the evil fire within her would be suppressed.

This was far more effective than the "Heavenly Dream Finger" used by Tianmeng Iceworm in the original story. It would ensure Ma Xiaotao's clarity for a long time, during which she would no longer be burdened by the evil fire.

There was no way Yan Shaoze would be worried.

Upon seeing Lin Yun's uniquely handsome face, which stood out even in the outer court, Yan Shaoze immediately recognized the young man. Combined with the unmistakable aura of Ultimate Ice on Ma Xiaotao, Yan Shaoze's heart settled completely.

"Young man, are you alright?" Returning to his calm and composed demeanor, Yan Shaoze looked at Lin Yun and asked gently.

"My deepest apologies. This is my disciple. She encountered some difficulties during her cultivation, causing you some unpleasantness. I sincerely apologize for this."
