Chapter 215: Nan Feihuang vs. Tianshui Academy

"Everyone, fall back!" At Nan Feihuang's command, the entire Gu Lei Team retreated to the edge of the arena.

He hadn't expected Tianshui Academy to have developed this move ahead of time; it was a technique that should only have appeared during the later continental wars.

Within Gu Lei Academy, the only ones capable of confronting this "Ice Seal Three Feet, Snow Covering a Thousand Miles" head-on were himself and Dian Wei.

But the two of them generally wouldn't take the field together, and since Dian Wei wasn't out this time, it was up to him alone.

Otherwise, even someone as strong as Lingqi would be instantly frozen once covered by this ice and snow; no matter how strong her practical combat ability was, her level was still a bit low because she hadn't consumed an Immortal Herb.

"One force overcomes ten types of Mastery"—this was something combat experience could not compensate for.

Needless to say, the others couldn't resist this move at all; even Xun Yu couldn't set up his formation, and he looked at the Military Talisman in his hand with a bitter smile.

Then, Nan Feihuang held his Halberd in one hand and, using the "Slap" from the Single-Handed Eighteen Picks, struck the cracked spot on the armor three times.

Nan Feihuang thought to himself, "Such powerful ice; I'm afraid it's already approaching the level of Extreme Ice. It truly lives up to being the top-tier Ice-type Spirit, the Ice Phoenix. If it weren't for the fact that Senior Sister's phoenix power isn't pure, I fear the quality of her martial soul would even surpass the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion!"

This was a hollow iceberg. It seemed Shui Bing'er intended to decide the outcome with Nan Feihuang within this advantageous terrain. The iceberg was transparent, so those watching from the outside could see the scene inside.

The footwork of the North Star Immortal Trace was even more bizarre and unpredictable than Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

Nan Feihuang surged the True Qi within his body, and the gentle Daoist True Qi formed soft, cotton-like clouds on the surface, catching the three of them.

Her plan was quite clever: sell herself to Nan Feihuang in exchange for his cultivation technique. She would gain the divine art and also secure the husband she liked—two birds with one stone.

"Ugh!" Shui Bing'er clutched her chest, feeling a surge of stifling pressure. Although Nan Feihuang's strike hadn't truly injured her, his force was so great that when it slammed into the Ice Phoenix, it caused an effect similar to a blunt weapon strike.

The phoenix, the ceiling of avian martial souls, continuously assaulted Nan Feihuang from the air, while Nan Feihuang brandished his heavy Halberd, parrying every move.

Relying on soul power far exceeding Nan Feihuang's, the cold air gradually invaded his body. In such a situation, the victim's movements would become slower and slower until their entire blood supply was frozen, rendering them completely unable to move.

Many people were even hoping for his defeat; after all, the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall was enough of an insurmountable mountain, and there was no need for an extra Flying General.

The True Damage power of the Half-Moon Slash was too overbearing; if he unleashed it, Shui Bing'er would inevitably be severely injured. His mother had given him repeated instructions to try his best not to hurt this senior sister.

To the people outside, it looked like Nan Feihuang's defeat was only a matter of time.

"Junior brother, take this!" Shui Bing'er said coldly. The Ice Phoenix spread its wings and charged fiercely at Nan Feihuang; wherever it passed, it truly was "snow covering a thousand miles," with biting cold air.

In truth, he could use the Half-Moon Slash to break her defense directly right now. If his opponent were Spirit Hall Academy or Shrek, he certainly would have done so, but he couldn't do that to Shui Bing'er.

Nan Feihuang's Halberd could only strike the ice armor; the armor did not shatter, only showing cracks, but Nan Feihuang's attack was blocked.

Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu knew it was Nan Feihuang who had saved them. They stood up, cupped their hands, and said, "Junior brother, thank you for showing mercy. This senior sister admits defeat, and my Tianshui Academy also admits defeat."

"What?" Shui Bing'er was startled. She realized she had fallen into a trap; Nan Feihuang had not been affected by her cold ice power at all.

Just a moment before the strike was about to land, Nan Feihuang's figure suddenly shifted several times, dodging it.

Nan Feihuang carried his Halberd and charged directly into the freezing air, swinging a strike toward the Ice Phoenix.

"Eh, it's soft and fluffy, so comfortable!" Shui Yue'er had originally closed her eyes, prepared for pain, but at this moment, she only felt as if she were lying on a layer of cotton candy—such a soft feeling.

"This..." Nan Feihuang was a bit embarrassed. Facing such sincere eyes, he felt he couldn't bring himself to refuse, and could only look at Shui Bing'er with a pleading gaze.

"Could it be that this invincible Flying General is going to be defeated in the Top Ten?" This thought flashed through everyone's mind.

Due to the momentum of her full-speed charge, Shui Bing'er was currently unable to control her body and could not dodge this strike.

Moreover, anyone could see that Nan Feihuang had shown mercy to them; it wouldn't be pretty to keep entangling themselves.

It was just a pity that the actual situation was completely different from what they thought. Having consumed the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb, Nan Feihuang was immune to both ice and fire.

That spot had already been struck and cracked; being hit again by a god-tier martial soul, it shattered completely on the spot.

Nan Feihuang smiled slightly, changed his Fangtian Halberd from a thrust to a slap, and struck the body of the Ice Phoenix again.

None of the three girls were injured. Nan Feihuang's three attacks had all been similar to blunt force strikes; he hadn't relied on the sharpness of the Fangtian Halberd. He only wanted to use his Daoist True Qi, which was purer than that of ordinary people, to disperse the opponents' soul power, causing their Spirit Fusion soul power to become chaotic and making them lose without a fight.

With a scream, the Ice Phoenix dissipated in the air, and the figures of the three girls were revealed as they fell from the sky.

Nan Feihuang replied, "Senior sister, you are too kind."

The coverage of this soul skill was too large, and the soldiers he summoned were too weak; he feared the Eight Gates Formation would turn into pillars of ice before he could even set it up.

The cold air entering his body had no effect on him; he was merely intentionally slowing his attack efficiency to lure Shui Bing'er into a full-force attack.

"Ah!!!"

The ice and fire attributes within his Fangtian Halberd had not yet reached the extreme level; at most, they were on par with Shui Bing'er's ice, and he couldn't achieve a suppression over her.

Furthermore, the spot Nan Feihuang slapped was the same place he had attacked at the beginning.

The Grandmaster could hardly believe his eyes. Was everything he was seeing right now real? The Three-in-One Spirit Fusion Skill had actually been defeated by Nan Feihuang with sheer Brute Force? What kind of monster was this?

"Junior brother's speed has slowed down. Now is the time! Xue Wu, Yue'er, full-force attack, Snow Covering a Thousand Miles!" Shui Bing'er had indeed fallen for the trap.

The Ice Phoenix flapped its wings and dove toward Nan Feihuang with maximum power.

Shui Bing'er helplessly sent people to drag her unruly younger sister back. "Sorry, junior brother, I failed to discipline her. You don't need to pay her any mind."

"Junior brother, junior brother, your soul power is so amazing! It can be hard and soft. How did you do that? Can you teach me your cultivation technique? It's so fun! As long as you teach me, this senior sister will immediately offer myself to you. It doesn't matter if I'm a concubine; just grant me a consort title in the future!" Shui Yue'er excitedly came to Nan Feihuang's side, her eyes full of little stars, without a trace of the disappointment of having just been defeated.

Regarding Shui Bing'er's admission of defeat, the others from Tianshui Academy also accepted it. There was no help for it; their trump card, the Three-in-One Spirit Fusion Skill, had been defeated. Continuing to fight would yield no chance of victory and would only be self-humiliation.

The temperature of the entire venue dropped suddenly.

The Ice Phoenix was now covered in a layer of ice armor.

"Junior brother is indeed powerful, but the current me is not losing to you. Ice Seal Three Feet!" Under the Three-in-One Spirit Fusion Skill, the depth of Shui Bing'er's soul power had far exceeded Nan Feihuang's, surpassing the Soul Emperor level. With a flap of her wings, an iceberg rose from the ground, trapping Feihuang and herself inside.

"Hey, Sister Xue Wu, Sister Ruoshui, what are you doing? Don't pull me! If it comes to it, I won't ask for the technique; can I just offer myself to junior brother?"

Shui Yue'er's protests were useless, and she was still dragged away by Xue Wu and Qiu Ruoshui.
