Chapter 306: Origin of the Ice Bloodline

Unlike the one-sided crushing of Rongyang University by Suhang University,

Hancheng University and Jinzhong University were evenly matched, falling into a stalemate not long after the fight began.

Across the entire arena, fireballs, wind blades...

various spell skills flew wildly in all directions.

With such power, they flew over a hundred meters, slamming into the defensive energy shield and causing ripple after ripple to spread across it.

"Hiss, is this the strength of this year's freshmen? Too strong!"

"It feels like any random student inside is stronger than me, a level 20 class user!"

"That's outrageous! That level 18 mage's casting time was less than 0.5 seconds!"

"..."

During the morning opening ceremony, there was also a team match.

But the battle lasted too short, ending in just 3 minutes.

Moreover, because the gap in strength between the two sides was so huge, some skills and spells simply didn't get a chance to be used.

But now, the evenly matched battle between Hancheng University and Jinzhong University had the audience shouting with delight!

"Brother Zhou Yi, which side do you think will win?"

Jiang Churan sat in her seat, holding a cup of ice-cold milk tea with both hands, asking Zhou Yi.

Since she wasn't wearing her school uniform, she was dressed in a simple casual outfit like any ordinary girl at that moment.

Yet even so, it was still hard to hide her impressive figure.

Her top was even pushed up high by that fullness, appearing tight and strained.

28 If others saw such a scene, it would absolutely draw a lot of stares.

Fortunately, the two had chosen a relatively secluded seat, with almost no other spectators around.

"Hancheng University."

Zhou Yi didn't hesitate for a second.

Thanks to the holographic projection in mid-air,

although their seats were quite far to the side, they had a clear view of the entire match.

"Hancheng University excels in fierce offensive firepower, while Jinzhong University excels in agility, constantly dodging."

"Twelve minutes have already passed, and the defensive energy shield has started to shrink.

If Jinzhong University has no other means next, they will surely lose!"

Just as Zhou Yi predicted.

When the match reached the 15th minute and the defensive energy shield had shrunk the entire arena area to 200 meters in length and width,

a warrior from Jinzhong University made a slip, was caught by Hancheng University for an opening, and was directly eliminated.

With the first team member down, the remaining members were quickly defeated in succession.

Finally, at the 16th minute of the match, Hancheng University won!!

"For this match, the winning side is Hancheng University!!"

As the electronic announcement sounded, bursts of applause immediately erupted throughout the stands.

"Fought well!"

"Wonderful!"

"..."

The audience applauded enthusiastically.

Down on the field, the Hancheng University team that had finished the match politely shook hands with the Jinzhong University members one by one.

This was the rule of team matches: friendship first, competition second.

Internal Group 5191(2)4243

However, what was a bit awkward was that the entire Jinzhong University team had only the captain left with enough strength to stand.

Of course...

As the winners, Hancheng University naturally felt no awkwardness; after shaking hands one by one with this somewhat pitiful captain, they returned to their own field.

"Good job!"

Zhu Yu clapped to encourage them.

She immediately arranged for the clerics to cast healing spells on them.

"Teacher, I have some other matters and want to leave first."

Zhou Xiaobai glanced in the direction where the match had started.

Confirming that Zhou Yi had not left, she immediately spoke out.

"Go ahead."

Regarding this, Zhu Yu did not stop her.

As a mage-class user, Zhou Xiaobai had performed exceptionally well in the battle just now.

At the same time, she was the best protected by the entire team, suffering not a single bit of damage, so naturally she didn't need to receive any healing.

Moreover, their school only had this one match this afternoon; now that the match was over, everyone was free to move about.

Leaving the lower field, Zhou Xiaobai quickly stored all her equipment into her backpack space, revealing her Hancheng University short-skirt school uniform.

She then walked up to the stands, heading toward Zhou Yi's location.

As the distance to Zhou Yi grew closer and closer, Zhou Xiaobai's fingers, like green onions, unconsciously fumbled together, becoming increasingly nervous.

Their Zhou family was an ancient clan that had existed in Tianlan Province for hundreds of years.

And the Zhou family ancestor who founded the clan was among the first batch of players in the Eternal Game.

When Zhou Yi's ancestor, acting as a player, created his character, he did not choose the Human Race.

Instead, he chose the rare Iceblood Descendants, a race similar in appearance to humans.

After the Eternal Game merged with reality, this Zhou family ancestor also inherited the Iceblood lineage.

Compared to ordinary bloodlines, the Iceblood lineage grants innate Ice Power, allowing control over Ice Element forces, which is extremely formidable!!

Relying on the Iceblood lineage and the Zhou family ancestor's own immense strength, the entire Zhou family gradually developed and rose.

After developing for several decades, this Zhou family ancestor, who had already reached the peak of the Professional realm at level 70, went to In another world and then vanished without a trace.

Although the Zhou family ancestor was gone, the special bloodline could awaken in descendants, and the Zhou family had already developed for several decades.

Several Third-Transcendence experts possessing the Iceblood lineage had already emerged within the clan, enough to establish a foothold.

Thus, although they lost the Zhou family ancestor, the entire Zhou family continued to develop.

However, the arrival of the Dark Age and the invasion from In another world dealt a heavy blow to the entire Zhou family!!

Nearly seven Third-Transcendence experts within the clan possessing the Iceblood lineage perished at the hands of experts from In another world!

Only two Third-Transcendence experts preserved their souls and were resurrected through a Resurrection Spell.

However, due to the side effects of the Resurrection Spell, the four-dimensional attributes of these two Third-Transcendence experts plummeted, and their strength was weakened by more than half!!

Moreover, what was even harder to accept was this.

Because one of the experts, during a battle with creatures from In another world, was affected by the Eternal Curse Technique of the most powerful Demon Lord from In another world.

Initially, the Eternal Curse Technique brought no side effects to this expert, and the Zhou family did not pay much attention.

Later, the experts of the clan were shocked to discover that the probability of the entire Zhou family's descendants awakening the Iceblood lineage had dropped drastically, even to less than one-tenth of the original!

From then on, the people of the Zhou family realized.

It turned out that this accidentally triggered Eternal Curse Technique was the cause of the drastically reduced probability of the entire Zhou family's descendants awakening the Iceblood lineage!!

This Curse Technique was extremely domineering!

It could not be removed through bloodline continuation! It could not be purified!

After spending nearly ten years and deploying various experts who still could not break the curse,

the entire Zhou family simply accepted their fate.

From then on, they cherished every clan member who awakened the Iceblood lineage immensely.

However, even so, by now,

the number of clan members in the entire Zhou family still possessing the Iceblood lineage was few and far between, and they were all elderly people!

Although there were some young people among them who had awakened the Iceblood lineage.

their bloodline power was incredibly thin and completely useless for great purposes!

Under such circumstances of having no successors, the entire Zhou family appeared huge but was actually extremely weak.

Once those few elderly Third-Transcendence experts passed away, the entire Zhou family would immediately be devoured by other factions that had coveted them for a long time!!

Therefore, once it is confirmed that Zhou Yi is a member of the Zhou family, possesses the Iceblood lineage, and that its concentration is not low,

then the entire Zhou family will be saved!!
