Chapter 191: Strike With All Your Might!

"Uh—!"

Xilin couldn't even let out a full cry of pain; all her words and strength were brutally smashed back into her throat by that blow.

She only felt an indescribable, brutish force and a bone‑piercing chill invading her body at once, and the Herrscher armor's protection was as flimsy as paper before that power.

Her whole body, like a kite whose string had snapped, turned into a vague white afterimage and slammed diagonally down toward a distant corner of the Training Room!

"Boom—!!!"

The alloy wall in the corner was hammered into a deep dent, spider‑web cracks spreading wildly, and ice crystal fragments splattering everywhere.

Xilin's figure was lodged in the wall; the Herrscher Skirt Armor was severely damaged, the Void Light surrounding her dimmed for an instant, then she struggled to slip out of the dent, half‑kneeling on the ground, one hand braced, breathing heavily, her white hair a mess clinging to her pallid cheek, a faint lilac‑colored streak of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

Not far away, Xing, who had watched the whole scene, opened his mouth into an "O" shape, his eyes bulging wide.

"Ah… this…"

She glanced at the disheveled Xilin in the distance, then at Kevin, who had silently fallen back to the ground at some unknown moment, feeling her mind was a little short.

"So strong, huh?! That last move… teleportation? No, it was speed so fast I couldn't see it? Or…"

She recalled the earlier "training" with Kevin, where she'd also been beaten badly, but he clearly left countless openings, seeming more like he was baiting moves and testing her limits.

"All that fighting before… was just teasing a kid, wasn't it?!"

Xing, after a delayed realization, felt a wave of speechlessness and inexplicable shame, but more so a sense of helplessness.

Kevin landed and didn't even glance at Xilin.

He simply tapped the bat he held lightly against the ice‑covered ground beneath his feet.

"Clack… clack‑clack‑clack—!!"

Centered on his footing, extreme cold erupted in a sudden circular burst!

The visible Ice-Blue Frost Bloom, like a living thing, instantly crawled over every inch of ground, wall, and even the suspended dust in the air within dozens of meters around him!

Even scarier, the ground, while freezing, began to bulge violently!

"Boom—!"

Jagged, snarling icebergs rose from the ground, like fortress‑like ice structures!

They grew and spread outward centered on Kevin, layer upon layer, forming an ever‑expanding ice domain!

All the icebergs' tips and growth directions subtly pointed toward the corner where Xilin had fallen, creating a powerful suppressing field!

Then, Kevin, facing Xilin's direction, slowly raised his empty right arm, fingers loosely spread as if grasping something in mid‑air.

"Hum—!"

Those icebergs pointing at Xilin seemed to receive a command, and the cold ice energy within them surged suddenly!

Sharper ice spires rapidly grew and spread across the iceberg surfaces, like countless ice spears ready to launch, also like tightening ice shackles; the invisible low‑temperature force field acted like a massive hand, crushing down hard on the area where Xilin stood.

The air itself froze into flakes of snow.

Xing watched the ice spreading rapidly beneath his feet, startled into a shiver, and hurriedly leapt backward.

"Again, again?!"

She instinctively tried to summon her Flame Gun, but halfway extending her hand she suddenly remembered—"Damn! My Flame Gun was crushed by that guy!"

A wave of bitterness rose in her chest, making her want to slap herself, "Why was I so clumsy to throw that away!"

She could only retreat repeatedly until her back pressed against the cold edge wall of the Training Room, with nowhere else to go.

She looked up and saw that, centered on Kevin, nearly half of the Training Room had completely turned into a crystal‑clear yet dead‑silent terrifying ice‑snow world.

The jagged icebergs reflected a chilling light, the cold distorting her sight slightly.

The corner where Xilin stood was completely encircled by layer upon layer of icebergs, like a custom‑made ice tomb for her.

"Is it over? That rather fierce white‑haired girl… frozen?"

Xing curled up in the corner, arms crossed, feeling an inexplicable sympathy for the girl.

Fighting a monster like this is just too tragic.

However, just as Xing thought the outcome was decided—

"Bang!!!"

A muffled thud sounded, not from the frozen corner but from Kevin himself!

Kevin's body seemed struck head‑on by an invisible massive hammer, and he slid backward abruptly without warning!

His feet cut two deep grooves into the mirror‑smooth ice, ice shards flying wildly, and he didn't steady himself until he had retreated more than ten meters.

Almost simultaneously!

"Boom! Boom‑boom‑boom—!!!"

The thick, layered icebergs suppressing Xilin, as if packed with massive explosives inside, erupted and shattered violently from their cores all at once!

Tons‑weight ice blocks were violently hurled by a raging turbulence, as if seized by an invisible giant hand, slamming head‑first toward the newly‑steady Kevin!

The ice chunks were house‑sized, moving at astonishing speed!

Kevin faced the sudden ice "tsunami" with his ice‑blue eyes still calm.

He didn't even use the bat; he simply raised his right fist and punched the largest incoming iceberg with a single blow!

"Bang— splash!!!"

No light, no special effects.

Only pure, ultimate force.

The iceberg, several stories high, upon meeting Kevin's fist, shredded like tofu fed into a shredder, fragmenting inch by inch from the point of contact, turning into a spectacular ice‑crystal rain that whooshed past his sides, slammed to the ground, and produced a continuous thunderous roar.

Amid the swirling ice dust, Xilin's figure reappeared.

She still hovered near her original spot, but looked even more disheveled than before.

The Herrscher Skirt Armor was torn in many places, exposing Qiana's skin beneath, her long hair even more tangled, the blood at her mouth still wet, her flawless face covered with a layer of frost, yet an abnormal flush rose from her Rage.

The Purple-Black Void Energy swirling around her boiled and twisted violently, clearly having expended massive power to forcefully blast the ice‑mountain seal from within.

"Scum...!"

She muttered low, her voice bearing suppressed fury.

Her golden cross pupils Lock onto Kevin, leaving no room for contempt or Intellectual Duel, only the purest killing intent.

She slowly raised both hands, no longer confined to creating voids.

This time, she began to directly manipulate the ice‑snow domain itself.

"Hoo—!"

Centered on her, the shattered ice shards, drifting ice crystals, and even the tiny water molecules in the air frozen by Kevin's power began to defy gravity and slowly float!

Under Xilin's Authority, they gradually took on an ominous violet‑black aura, their internal structures forcibly twisted, emitting a dangerous spatial annihilation aura!

It was as if each ice crystal became a microscopic bomb!

The Rule of the whole area was being crudely interfered with by her Authority!

Xilin's figure, surrounded by the floating dangerous ice and snow, rose slowly, as if the embodiment of Destruction.

Opposite, Kevin's complexion remained as ancient ice, unmoving.

He simply watched Xilin's actions quietly, watching the ice and snow that had been "polluted".

Then, the icy domain beneath his feet, purely generated by his own power, began to undergo strange changes.

The ice surface color, from extreme ice‑blue, gradually deepened and darkened, shifting toward black!

It was a deeper manifestation of low temperature—a realm where even molecular thermal motion nearly ceased, and light itself was frozen and absorbed, approaching Absolute Zero!

This dark ice realm, centered on him, bulged upward, slowly lifting his body, facing Xilin in the air at a distance.

Dark ice crystals silently floated around him, forming a silent and terrifying confrontation with the violet‑black dangerous ice and snow on Xilin's side.

The temperature of the entire Training Room dropped suddenly to a terrifying degree at that moment!

"Achoo!!"

Star, curled up in a distant corner against the wall, sneezed sharply, hugging their arms and trembling.

She looked down at herself in disbelief: "This is crazy... How am I feeling so cold?!"

She bears a Star Core and wields the power of Preservation; ordinary extreme cold or even space low temperatures hardly bother her.

Yet at this moment, that chill that seemed able to freeze the soul pierced all her defenses, making her feel cold down to the marrow, and even her teeth began to tremble.

She looked up and saw the Training Room seemingly split by an invisible boundary into two terrifying realms:

One side a violet‑black glowing, spatially warped ice‑snow hell; the other side a cold abyss that devours light and heat, dead and eternally silent.

And she herself was like a helpless leaf in the eye of the storm.

"What the heck!"

Star, on the verge of tears with no tears, curled tighter, "These two big shots are fighting... are they planning to freeze the entire universe?!"

She began to seriously consider whether to just lie down and wait for death, or shout "Referee! Someone here is illegally using a massive cooling device!"
