Ice Tide’s Application
Chapter 613 – Ice Tide’s Application
In that instant, it was as if time had frozen and the ice spear in her hand had stopped right in front of Bing Mengxue’s throat.
The referee had already moved forward, but everything happened too quickly. When Deep Blue Gaze was unleashed, even the powerful referee froze for a moment. If Bai Xiuxiu really wanted to kill Bing Mengxue, he wouldn’t have been able to save her in time.
And at this time, the referee discovered that Bing Mengxue was still standing there, her entire body turned into an ice sculpture and her body was covered with a layer of crystal clear ice.
The referee teacher was overwhelmed with shock. It had to be known that Bing Mengxue’s Ice Crystal Dragon Phoenix Martial Soul was the strongest ice-attribute Martial Soul in the entire Imperial Sun Moon Soul Engineer Academy. But she was actually frozen—this was a disparity in attributes! This meant that Bai Xiuxiu’s ice-attribute Martial Soul was even more stronger than hers.
Retracting the ice spear, an illusory shadow appeared behind Bai Xiuxiu. The coldness in the air immediately receded, as if she had taken it all away. The layer of ice on Bing Mengxue’s body disappeared as well. Her delicate body swayed and she took two steps back. With the support of the referee teacher, she didn’t fall.
"Thanks for letting me win." Bai Xiuxiu bowed slightly and turned to leave.
Although Bing Mengxue still had her One-Word Battle Armor’s defense, in that moment of stagnation, it was impossible for her One-Word Battle Armor to block Bai Xiuxiu’s concentrated attack. Once pierced, the sunken Battle Armor would have shattered her throat.
Bing Mengxue’s face was pale and her body was still trembling from the extreme cold. She forced a smile and turned to leave the stage.
The first two sparrings ended very quickly.
The Dean of the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Engineer Academy, Yao Lilin, sighed. This was the disparity!
Perhaps in the eyes of some people, it seemed like the two students from the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Engineer Academy were unable to unleash their full strength and even lost without using all their soul skills. But in the eyes of a mighty figure like Yao Lilin, this was clearly a disparity in foundation. Why couldn’t they unleash their full strength? They were simply suppressed by the other party!
Bai Xiuxiu walked over to Lan Xuanyu’s side and sat cross-legged, silently recovering the soul power she had used up.
Lan Xuanyu smiled. "Your Ice Tide’s application is getting better."
Bai Xiuxiu scoffed. "I’d have no problem dealing with you too."
Many people might think that Bai Xiuxiu’s third soul skill, Ice Explosion, and her fourth soul skill, Deep Blue Gaze, was very strong. But only Lan Xuanyu, who was most familiar with her, knew that among Bai Xiuxiu’s four soul skills, the most important one was actually Ice Tide.
Only Ice Tide could be the source of her ever-changing battle tactics. The acceleration just now was only a very small application. Ice Tide was the true core of her four soul skills. Nana had designed it for her.
After every round, they could rest for half an hour, so Lan Xuanyu wasn’t
Battle wasn’t just about strength, but psychological warfare was also important.
At this moment, on the other side of the competition stage, the eight outstanding third years of the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Engineer Academy who had yet to go on stage wore solemn expressions on their faces. They no longer had their initial confidence.
Being able to be selected for the first round, whether it was strength or their affinity to counter their opponent, they were all carefully selected. However, Wang Zhanhang and Bing Mengxue lost too quickly. They didn’t even manage to exhaust their opponents much, what about the others? How much stronger were the other eight?
Shrek Academy was truly powerful!
When this thought appeared in the minds of the remaining eight students, their confidence suffered a huge blow.
Nana didn’t give them an evaluation and just stood quietly by their side. In fact, these two battles didn’t require much evaluation. Just like what Yao Lilin knew, he couldn’t display his strength because he wasn’t strong enough.
According to Nana’s description of Lan Xuanyu, Wang Zhanhang and Bing Mengxue were both very talented and had strong Martial Souls. But their control over their own abilities was too low. Faced with Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu’s powerful attacks, they panicked. How could they defeat their opponents?
On the other hand, Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu’s combat experience was much richer than theirs and they had strong control over their own abilities. Not only did they win, but they also won at the smallest cost.
Yao Lilin looked in Nana’s direction and narrowed his eyes as though he was thinking about something. After a moment, he seemed to have understood something and walked towards Nana.
Upon sensing his arrival, Nana instinctively looked over.
Yao Lilin said politely, "Teacher Nana, can we talk in private?"
"Alright." Nana nodded and followed Yao Lilin to the side.
Yao Lilin exclaimed in admiration, "Teacher Nana, the students that you’ve taught are truly outstanding. They will definitely be able to give our students an important combat class with these 10 matches. What do you think is the problem with our students?"
Nana said, "They don’t have enough control over their abilities and have not developed them enough." She used the shortest sentence to point out the problem.
Yao Lilin agreed with him. "That’s right, you’re right. Right now, whether it’s us or many academies, the most important thing is still the improvement of the students’ soul power, as well as how to choose a Spirit Soul and fuse powerful soul skills. But in fact, no matter how strong one’s abilities are, one has to know how to use them. We’re simply too inferior compared to Shrek Academy in this aspect. In your opinion, how did Shrek do it?"
Nana thought about it and said, "Through competition I guess. Everyone has to work hard to fight for more cultivation resources and not be eliminated."
This was the longest sentence Nana had said to him. Yao Lilin said, "You’re right. Teacher Nana, these two students of yours are outstanding even in Shrek Academy. I admire them very much. In terms of teaching and resources, we’re definitely far inferior to Shrek Academy. But we belong to the Federation. Almost all the big shots and children in Mingdu will study in our academy as long as they can awaken their Martial Souls. Almost every student has a background. So, in terms of resources, the Federation has given us a lot. I want to give these two children some gifts. Is it convenient?"
"Gift?" Nana was stunned.
Yao Lilin nodded and said sincerely, "A few small gifts. The Federation has recently developed a special alloy. This alloy possesses some of the characteristics of a divine metal, but of course, it is definitely inferior to the real deal. Your students have such strong individual combat power, so they will definitely walk the path of Dual Mecha Master in the future. The Federation has recently researched this alloy and it is most suitable for manufacturing mechas. It can allow a mecha to have strong self-repairing abilities and can almost never be worn down. Even if it is severely damaged, it can recover on its own. As long as the core’s soul array is not broken, the mecha can continue to be used. Our academy was specially allocated some and it was given to me by the Federation. I want to give these two children 10 kilograms each. As long as they use Thousand Refined metals when making their mecha and mix it with this alloy, the quality of the mecha will increase greatly."
"I know that after the fourth year in the Outer Court, Shrek Academy will allow their students to carry out some special missions and it will be dangerous. With such a mecha, it should be able to ensure their safety."
Nana’s beautiful eyes revealed surprise for the first time. "It’s impossible for them to join the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Engineer Academy."
Yao Lilin smiled and said, "We don’t need them to join us, it’s just an ordinary gift. They’re so outstanding, and their future is limitless. It can be considered as us tying a good karma for our academy."
