Chapter 184: Battle of the Beautiful Girls: Nan Feiling vs. Shui Bing'er

"Third Soul Skill, Angry Dragon Formation!"

"Third Soul Skill, Resistive Ice Ring!"

The second round of the Promotion Tournament began today, once again in full swing.

Taking place on the arena was a battle between two beautiful young girls.

Nan Feiling versus Shui Bing'er.

Tianshui Academy against Gu Lei Royal Academy; one could see that both sides already had three people down.

For Tianshui Academy, it was Yu Hairou, Shui Yue'er, and Shen Liuyu, while for Gu Lei Academy, it was still Pan Feng, Xing Daorong, and Jia Kui.

The strength displayed by both sides could be called evenly matched; among those who had fallen, there was one Soul Ancestor on each side: Jia Kui and Yu Hairou.

But Tianshui Academy was clearly at a disadvantage, because among the three Soul Ancestors of their academy, one was the Support System Xue Wu, which meant she could not take the stage during the Promotion Tournament.

Actually, Nan Feiling was originally slightly inferior to Lv Lingqi, but just yesterday, Nan Feihuang gave her another benefit.

And this Shui Yue'er was the younger sister from the anime version, whose martial soul was the Lucid Jade Dolphin, with a level of only thirty-six.

On the arena, three earth dragons formed a triangular formation to surround Shui Bing'er; Shui Bing'er spread her wings and flew toward the sky.

On the contrary, Huyan Li had nothing to worry about; he hadn't even made it into the Promotion Tournament, so what did the strength of the Gu Lei Team have to do with him?

Nan Feiling's appearance could be said to have cast another shadow over the other academies, because her level was a notch higher than Shui Bing'er's, and she was on par with that Lv Lingqi.

Once the earth dragons stopped their retreating figures, they roared and charged at her again.

"Another Soul Ancestor, Gu Lei Academy already has three Soul Ancestors. Adding that Nan Feihuang, besides the Spirit Hall Academy, who else is a match for this team?" Yu Tianxin, Feng Xiaotian, and the others had solemn expressions; they had originally thought their biggest opponent was the Spirit Hall, but they hadn't expected the Flying General's team to be this formidable.

This was a battle of dragons and phoenixes, and it was three against one.

At this moment, the earth dragons she summoned were truly astonishing in power and massive in size; Shui Bing'er's Resistive Ice Ring could only bounce the earth dragons away, but could not blast them apart.

Once Shui Bing'er was defeated, it would be equivalent to Tianshui Academy losing.

Shui Yue'er was not the Shui Yue'er from the manga version; the manga's Shui Yue'er was Shui Bing'er's older sister, her martial soul was the Gliding Ice Shield, and her level had long since reached Soul Ancestor.

"Hmph, fight, fight, it would be best if everyone ends up both injured and defeated!" Today, Huyan Li had come to watch the battle through his connections with the Elephant Armored Sect; he was full of malice now, hoping only that everyone would lose miserably.

This Nan Feiling's spirit power was at least at the Soul King level or above, otherwise, it would be impossible to control three earth dragons simultaneously.

"Such powerful control over soul skills. These three earth dragons were summoned relying on soul power, but the current manipulation should be relying on spirit power. How could a Soul Ancestor possess such formidable spirit power?" the instructor of Tianshui Academy wondered.

The three earth dragons pursued relentlessly.

Moreover, she seemed to be able to predict Shui Bing'er's direction of movement; every time the earth dragons attacked, they could block off all her escape routes.

"Junior sister, you really are fighting ruthlessly." Shui Bing'er had been forced into a desperate situation; one earth dragon's tail had already swung right in front of her eyes. Seeing she couldn't dodge, she immediately covered herself in a suit of ice armor, "Second Soul Skill, Ice Ring Armor!"

Boom!

The earth dragon's tail slammed into the ice armor, and as a result, both the earth dragon and the ice armor exploded into pieces.

Shui Bing'er narrowly held on against this strike, but the crisis had not been resolved, because there were three earth dragons summoned by Nan Feiling.

"No matter how powerful your ability to control the earth dragons is, ultimately, as long as I defeat you, junior sister, these earth dragons will collapse on their own. First Soul Skill, Ice Seal!" Shui Bing'er pinched her palm toward Nan Feiling's position, and a burst of cold ice immediately rose beneath Nan Feiling's feet.

This Ice Seal technique was an instant-cast single-target control soul skill.

Shui Bing'er had already used this move to the point of perfection; she could cast it instantly in succession, almost using it as a group control skill.

"Senior sister, it's useless. First Soul Skill, Rock Wall Formation!" Nan Feiling's first soul skill was also instant-cast, and Nan Feiling's soul power was deeper, and her speed in condensing soul power was a fraction faster than Shui Bing'er's.

The ice Shui Bing'er summoned had not yet condensed into shape before it was neutralized by the rock wall released at the same position.

Nan Feiling was protected in the middle by four large rock walls, and even though she couldn't see the outside, she could still precisely manipulate the earth dragons to launch attacks.

In the spectator stands, Ning Fengzhi noticed something, "I truly didn't expect that this Princess Feiling actually possesses a Head Soul Bone. If I'm not mistaken, this should be a Gem-type Head Bone, which is the only way it could increase Princess Feiling's spirit power by so much."

"Sect Master Ning is correct; I have the same suspicion. Moreover, the soul skill of this soul bone should be similar to a Spirit Domain, increasing spirit power while also being able to observe the surroundings, and even lowering the opponent's spirit power. It is truly a very excellent soul bone." Salas made the same judgment.

After all, they were both renowned big shots, and their discernment was far stronger than that of ordinary academy teachers.

That's right, the reason Nan Feiling was so powerful was because of the soul bone; Nan Feihuang had already given her the Illusion Head Bone he had snatched from Shi Nian, which was why her soul power could be on par with Lv Lingqi overnight.

The improvement a soul bone brings to one's strength is absolutely enormous; there is a saying in the world of Spirit Masters.

Many rings and many bones, a wave of skills and power; few rings and few bones, turn tail and run!

While this saying isn't an absolute truth, it is still highly referential in most situations.

Even without using Ring Detonation, Tang Hao could steadily suppress Lan Xue, precisely because he had five more soul bones than Lan Xue.

And the biggest reason why Nan Feiling could still maintain an advantage while facing a Spirit Master like Shui Bing'er, who possessed a Top-level Spirit, was that she had a soul bone, while Shui Bing'er did not.

Bone Douluo listened and felt a bit envious; of course, he wasn't doing it for himself, but for his precious granddaughter Ning Rongrong.

This soul bone was extremely suitable for Ning Rongrong.

Although there were quite a few soul bones within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they were not without shortages of certain types; Gem-type soul bones were already extremely rare among all soul bones, and being the most critical head type, they were even scarcer—not even the sect possessed one.

"This won't do; if I'm not beaten down by junior sister, I'll be exhausted by myself." Shui Bing'er was covered in sweat; having been chased by the three earth dragons until now, her soul power consumption was fine, but her physical stamina had been depleted too severely. "Since that's the case, I can only rely on attack soul skills to have a good fight with this junior sister."

"Fourth Soul Skill, Cold Ice Rapid Awl!" Above Shui Bing'er, cone-shaped ice forms condensed at high speed. The air was densely packed with cone-shaped ice, and then, Shui Bing'er waved her small hand. All the cold ice awls shot down toward the ground at high speed.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Wind Splitting Array!" Nan Feiling flipped the Gu Lei Book to a new page.

This was her fourth soul skill, a wind-attribute agility-attack formation, the Wind Splitting Array.

It released countless wind blades with extremely high attack speed to tear the opponent apart.

At this moment, one side of the two girls was full of ice awls, and the other was full of wind blades.

Following a soft utterance from both, "Go."

The sky full of ice awls and wind blades collided head-on, and the entire arena rang out with clanging sounds.
