Chapter 447: Three-Way Struggle

"Hey, don't stop them."

Just as Qin Jian was preparing to unleash his full power to intercept these two crazy women, Na'er's voice suddenly sounded from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't stop them?" he asked in surprise.

"Right, don't stop them yet. I need to observe their power..."

Na'er's voice flowed quietly in his heart: "This kind of power is quite interesting..."

"Quite interesting..."

Qin Jian's figure stopped, he retreated slowly, landed on a high spot, and looked toward the two's battlefield with a frown.

Upon this observation, he truly discovered something marvelous.

He rarely paid attention to the progress of the girls' strength around him, because no matter when, he would always stand in front of them, not needing them to share the burden for him.

Therefore, whether it was Hu Liena's soul power level, or Shui Bing'er's or Huo Wu's, he had never asked.

Only now that they were fighting did he discover that Huo Wu was actually at the same level as Hu Liena; both were stuck at the Soul Emperor bottleneck and had not obtained their Sixth Soul Ring.

At the same time, both possessed Domain bonuses, and their soul ring configurations were perfect.

It was normal for Hu Liena to have such progress and strength, but Huo Wu was different.

Not only had she caught up to Hu Liena's level in five years, but she had also obtained a Domain.

Not only that, when Qin Jian observed carefully, he discovered that an extra Flame Armor had appeared on Huo Wu's body.

"That is a soul bone, a soul bone for the torso..."

Na'er seemed to know what he was puzzled about and said in his consciousness: "And this soul bone was not obtained from a Soul Beast, but is a God-Given Soul Bone."

"God-Given Soul Bone?"

Qin Jian frowned: "In that case, their Assessment is very likely a God Trial?"

"It cannot be determined yet; it is also possible they found ruins where a god fell."

Na'er said in a low voice: "Let's keep watching..."

"Alright..."

Seeing that Qin Jian was not only not busy stopping the two furious women, but even standing on the sidelines watching the show in a leisurely manner, the audience couldn't help but look at each other, feeling somewhat disappointed.

What they wanted to see was the scumbag getting hacked, not two women fighting each other...

"Qin Jian! Aren't you going to stop them?!"

At this moment, Shui Bing'er on the sidelines finally couldn't help but walk to Qin Jian's side and whispered: "I thought you would separate them..."

"Uh..."

Qin Jian scratched his head: "It's not good for the body to have anger and not vent it; let them release it properly."

Shui Bing'er couldn't help but roll her eyes: "How can you be like this? If one of them really uses a finishing move and hurts the other, it will truly be beyond redemption."

Saying this, she walked forward.

In the arena, the Fire Domain and the Killing God Domain were still colliding intensely; Hu Liena's short sword and Huo Wu's flames had exchanged many rounds, with no winner yet.

It was hard to tell if the two were truly equal in strength, or if neither intended to fight to the death...

"Bang, bang, bang..."

When an ice-blue figure inserted herself straight in, everyone's gaze was drawn over.

One could see that an Ice and Snow Armor had also appeared on Shui Bing'er's body, and under her feet, paths of ice light bloomed, with lotus flowers appearing at every step.

As she walked toward the battlefield of Hu Liena and Huo Wu using the Mysterious Step, the ice-blue light rings on her body were also slowly blooming.

"A Domain! Another Domain!"

Huo Wushuang gasped as if he had a toothache: "What is this? Have all the excellent girls in the world been swept up by this bastard Qin Jian? Every single one of them has a Domain!"

"It's not just them who have Domains..."

Huo Yanhong gently patted her son's shoulder, her eyes filled with amazement: "That Qin Jian also has a Domain, and its power is even stronger than this Saintess's current Domain; he can even support Teleportation within the Domain, it's simply a divine skill..."

"The gap between you and him is too large."

Huo Wushuang had been nodding along, but his expression collapsed upon hearing the last sentence: "Mom, if you want to praise others, go ahead, but can you not step on your own son while you're at it? Is this kind of comparison meaningful?"

Huo Yanhong rolled her eyes: "If I don't compare you with the most excellent people, where would you get the motivation to practice hard?"

"What's there to compare..."

Huo Wushuang's eyelids drooped: "I had confidence before comparing, but now that I've compared, I have no confidence at all. What's the point of working hard? I'll just practice as fate wills it; whether my level rises or not, when I reach Soul Saint in the future and take over your positions as Dean, that's just how it is..."

Huo Yanhong glanced at him and chuckled: "Qin Jian is the future Dean of Spirit Hall Academy; you'll just have to obediently be his subordinate in the future."

Huo Wushuang gave up on himself: "Subordinate is fine, I'm his brother-in-law anyway, surely I won't be mistreated?!"

"You're selling out your sister just like that?!" Huo Yanhong patted his head in annoyance.

Huo Wushuang shrank his neck: "Does Huo Wu even need me to sell her? She already ran off on her own, didn't she?"

Huo Yanhong: "..."

During the time they were talking, the arena had changed from a standoff between red and white to a three-way struggle between red, blue, and white.

Of course, the intense confrontation was between the red and white sides, while the ice-blue side was merely trying to mediate.

"Huo Wu, stop fighting, something will happen if this continues!"

Shui Bing'er used an Ice Flower to block Hu Liena's short sword with one hand, and placed her other hand horizontally in front of Huo Wu.

"Bing'er, move aside! I must finish off this vixen today!"

But Huo Wu walked straight around her, and taking advantage of the moment Shui Bing'er blocked a strike, a streak of blood-red Flame came crashing down toward Hu Liena's head.

Seeing that her attempt to stop them had failed and instead made her an accomplice, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but stomp her foot, grit her teeth, and flash again to block the path of the Flame, the Ice and Snow Armor on her body lighting up.

"Idiot woman! Who asked for your help! Get out of the way!"

But the next moment, a fox shadow flashed past her side, and a massive, materialized fox tail fanned out, colliding intensely with the Flame and exploding into waves of aftermath.

Shui Bing'er felt a headache coming on.

Huo Wu was naturally very tsundere, so once a fight started, she would never voluntarily hold back.

And Hu Liena had recently been doubly provoked by Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu; with no telling how much darkness she had pent up inside, how could she still suppress it?

She took a moment to look back, only to see Qin Jian on the sidelines with his arms crossed, his expression deep and immersed in watching the show, which couldn't help but make her feel a wave of bitter resentment.

I, as your former-former-former-former girlfriend, am helping you mediate the conflict between your current and your former-former, yet you, this big jerk, are actually watching the show?

"Hmph!"

Shui Bing'er let out a huff, and suddenly a light of Ice and Snow spread from her body, a faint, ethereal phoenix phantom appearing.

Within the Ice and Snow Domain, an Ice storm suddenly swept through.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

The endless ice surface enveloped Huo Wu and Hu Liena, and in an instant, it Ice Sealed them both into human pillars.

"You two, be quiet."

In an instant, all the lingering shockwaves of the battle in the arena vanished, leaving only Shui Bing'er standing in the center, with two ice sculptures standing to her left and right.

"What is there for you to fight about... the one who truly deserves to be beaten..."

She reached out her hand and pointed at Qin Jian on the sidelines: "Isn't it this big jerk?"
