Chapter 77 Winter Vacation (8) - 2 Prodigies
Chapter 77 Winter Vacation (8) - 2 Prodigies
Qian Yuhan looked at the girl walking onto the stage and slowly said, "It's...it's you?!"
How could Qian Yuhan not recognize her? Wasn't this the woman he had encountered in the Star Dou Great Forest?
Recalling the day they first met, Qian Yuhan was stunned by her unparalleled beauty. Her skin was as delicate and smooth as white jade, so delicate it seemed as if it could be broken with a touch; her eyes were like deep lakes, clear and captivating, containing endless gentleness and liveliness; her nose was straight and beautiful, her cherry lips were naturally red, and the slightly upturned corners of her mouth carried a faint smile, like peach blossoms blooming in spring, delicate and beautiful, making one's heart and soul intoxicated.
She may not have completely shed her girlish naiveté and immaturity yet, but even so, her beauty is still as dazzling as the brightest star in the night sky.
Qian Yuhan couldn't help but think to herself: If she is already so radiant and beautiful now, what breathtaking beauty she will possess in a few years, when she has fully grown up! Everything in the world would probably pale in comparison to her brilliance...
"Long time no see." Ouyang Luoxue looked at the wooden-faced Qian Yuhan and said these four words with a very cold expression, but inwardly she was laughing non-stop: This idiot, he's dumbfounded when he sees me, hehehe—
"Hmm...long time no see," Qian Yuhan stammered.
Some students from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy watching from below the stage looked extremely shocked at Ouyang Luoxue's appearance.
What did they see?! Their aloof and beautiful school beauty actually, actually took the initiative to talk to them!!!
Ning Kaiwen, sitting in the audience, clenched his fists, glaring angrily at Qian Yuhan: Why, why did Luo Xue talk to you! Why!
"Uh, my name is Qian Yuhan..."
"I know."
"Um, Level 39 Battle Soul Master, please... please instruct me."
Looking at Qian Yuhan's awkward manner, which was completely different from his previous self, Ouyang Luoxue couldn't help but smile and cover her mouth.
A student from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy: My goddess!! She actually smiled!! Waaaaah, her smile is so beautiful, can't she smile at me too...?
“Ouyang Luoxue, a level 43 control-attack type Soul Master, please give me your guidance.”
Instantly, four spirit rings—one yellow, two purple, and one black—appeared beneath Ouyang Luoxue's feet, radiating a mysterious and powerful aura. This was completely different from the aura she exuded in her previous battle against Ning Hui; it was far more formidable. At the same time, a blue-silver ice staff suddenly appeared out of thin air in her slender, jade-like hand. This ice staff seemed to be carved from millennia-old ice, crystal clear and radiating a chilling aura. At the head of the staff was a large gemstone, emitting a faint blue light, shining like the brightest star in the night sky, its captivating brilliance shimmering in the center of the staff.
On the other side, Qian Yuhan raised his right hand and clenched it in mid-air. A dazzling light began to gather in his hand, growing brighter and brighter until it finally transformed into a magnificent divine sword of light. The moment the divine sword was fully revealed, a powerful aura suddenly erupted, sweeping outwards like a surging wave, causing the surrounding air to tremble.
At the same time, three spirit rings, one purple and two black, appeared beneath Qian Yuhan's feet. Qian Yuhan knew that Ouyang Luoxue knew the age of the spirit rings she possessed, so there was no need to hide it anymore. Therefore, she did not consume the Spirit Ring Transformation Pill.
“Come on,” Ouyang Luoxue said, raising an eyebrow at Qian Yuhan.
"Second Soul Skill: Light Shadow Clone!"
Qian Yuhan changed his previous strategy. Facing Ouyang Luoxue, whose strength was unknown, the aura she exuded made Qian Yuhan's heart tremble. So he changed his plan and decided to use his second soul skill to stall for time and test Ouyang Luoxue's actual strength.
Ouyang Luoxue was incredibly clever; how could she not see what Qian Yuhan was doing? She slammed her Ice Spirit Staff into the ground, and her first yellow spirit ring and second purple spirit ring simultaneously lit up beneath her feet.
"Ice Spirit Blessing" and "Frost Domain" were activated simultaneously. With the activation of the soul skills, the entire arena was enveloped in a light blue mist centered on Ouyang Luoxue.
"Domain skill," Qian Yuhan thought to himself.
Qian Yuhan was in Ouyang Luoxue's domain, and the strong cold wind and the ice spikes that could appear at any time made Qian Yuhan have to be extremely careful.
Ouyang Luoxue's domain skill is extremely powerful, capable of weakening opponents. The reduction in speed it reduces is terrifying; those with slightly weaker strength can hardly move an inch within this domain.
"This kid is inside Miss's territory, so his clone can't move quickly enough to trick Miss into making a move, and his purpose of testing her is ineffective..." Old Liu, who was watching the battle from the audience area, said to himself.
On the other side, Ning Kaiwen's lips curled into a sneer, and he said contemptuously, "Within Luo Xue's icy domain, you can only wait to be killed—"
Within the icy domain, Qian Yuhan looked around and realized that her movement speed had indeed been greatly reduced. Ouyang Luoxue's fourth spirit ring quietly lit up.
"Fourth Soul Skill: Winter Has Arrived!"
Just then, the sky above the arena seemed to be obscured by an invisible hand, and the once clear sky was quickly shrouded in thick dark clouds. The whole scene appeared unusually oppressive and terrifying.
Then, a shocking scene unfolded. Countless enormous ice spikes rained down from the sky, densely cascading onto the arena. These ice spikes gleamed with a cold light, carrying a sharp and fierce aura, seemingly intent on piercing and shattering everything in their path.
Despite the fierce attack, Qian Yuhan, standing on the other side of the arena, remained completely calm. He took a deep breath and shouted with unwavering determination, "Third Soul Skill—Guardian of Light!"
In an instant, a dazzling golden light emerged from his body and quickly condensed into a magnificent suit of armor. This armor radiated a brilliant light, as intense and dazzling as the sun.
Clad in golden armor, Qian Yuhan fearlessly charged towards the rain of ice spikes. Each ice spike struck him with a crisp sound, yet none could penetrate his formidable defenses. At the same time, his luminous wings unfurled, and with a powerful flap, he shot off like an arrow towards Ouyang Luoxue's location.
During the flight, Qian Yuhan continuously gathered his strength. Finally, as he approached the edge of Ouyang Luoxue's icy domain, he gripped the Divine Sword of Light tightly in both hands, raised it high, and then swung it with all his might. With a loud "crack," everyone was astonished to find that fine cracks had begun to appear on Ouyang Luoxue's icy domain.
These cracks spread rapidly, covering the entire icy domain like a spider web. Just moments later, accompanied by another earth-shattering roar, Ouyang Luoxue's icy domain shattered completely, turning into countless ice blocks that scattered across the ground and disappeared without a trace.
Qian Yuhan knew very well that to break the deadlock, she had to break this domain first. Fortunately, the domain's defenses were not that strong. Although Qian Yuhan was in shadow clone form and her main body could only exert 80% of its strength, she still managed to break through it by chance.
"Not bad!" Ouyang Luoxue couldn't help but secretly admire.
He had exerted all his strength to break through Ouyang Luoxue's domain and barely managed to withstand Ouyang Luoxue's incredibly powerful fourth soul skill - "Winter is Coming"!
At this moment, Qian Yuhan's condition was truly appalling. He knelt on one knee, his body trembling slightly, as if he might collapse at any moment. Heavy breathing came from his mouth, each breath sounding so difficult. And blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto the cold ground, splashing up shocking blood flowers.
His once handsome face was now as pale as paper, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, mixing with the blood and making him look even more disheveled. But even so, Qian Yuhan's resolute eyes never dimmed; instead, they shone with an indomitable light.
"Ughhhhhh!" Qian Yuhan circulated his soul power, which rapidly flowed through his meridians. Qian Yuhan seemed to have forgotten his pain, golden flames erupted around him, and his eyes changed from light blue to golden yellow.
The audience in the stands, watching Qian Yuhan, who was seriously injured on the field, still unleash such fighting spirit, couldn't help but wonder: Is this really a child who is not even ten years old?!
These two people on stage are both prodigies...
"First Soul Skill: Light-Bright Slash!!"
Qian Yuhan took a deep breath, channeling all his soul power into the radiant Divine Sword of Light in his hand. A dazzling light shone around him as his soul power surged into the sword like a tidal wave. Just then, a shocking scene unfolded: a golden phantom, tens of feet tall, slowly emerged behind Qian Yuhan. This golden phantom was incredibly lifelike, seemingly depicting Qian Yuhan in his adult form, radiating a sacred and majestic aura.
As soul power continued to flow in, the Sword of Light began to tremble violently, its blade suddenly expanding several times its original size, becoming enormous. As if imbued with life, it automatically floated up and flew towards the massive golden phantom. In the blink of an eye, the Sword of Light landed steadily in the golden phantom's hand.
The golden phantom appeared like a war god descending, gripping the Divine Sword of Light tightly, raising his arm high, and then slashing down at Ouyang Luoxue with overwhelming force. A sharp, unparalleled sword light ripped through the sky, carrying a terrifying, world-destroying pressure as it hurtled towards Ouyang Luoxue.
Faced with this fierce attack, Ouyang Luoxue was secretly startled. She never expected that Qian Yuhan, who was seriously injured, could still unleash such a powerful and domineering attack. Watching the sword light getting closer and closer, Ouyang Luoxue couldn't help but exclaim, "Such a strong aura, this attack..." However, before she could finish speaking, she felt a strong sense of crisis rushing towards her.
At this critical moment of life and death, Ouyang Luoxue dared not hesitate for a moment and immediately unleashed her trump card. With a sharp cry, she swiftly formed hand seals and chanted incantations. Immediately afterward, a dazzling blue light shot into the sky from her body, and a crystal-clear, chilling Ice God Battle Blade suddenly appeared in her hand. At the same time, the purple first spirit ring beneath Ouyang Luoxue's feet instantly lit up, and powerful spirit energy surged wildly.
"Ice God Slash!" Ouyang Luoxue shouted, gripping the Ice God Battle Blade tightly with both hands, and swung it with all her might towards Qian Yuhan's all-out "Light Slash". In an instant, a huge ice-blue blade light roared out, meeting the dazzling sword light head-on.
With a deafening roar, the ice blade and the light blade collided violently. The clash of two completely different attributes unleashed a deafening boom. The entire arena trembled, and the surrounding air was compressed into visible shockwaves that swept outwards in all directions.
In an instant, smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring the sky. As the smoke gradually dissipated from the arena, everyone was astonished to find Qian Yuhan lying on the ground, his face ashen, utterly powerless, unable even to stand. Ouyang Luoxue, on the other side, was in no better condition; she sat cross-legged on the ground, eyes closed, desperately circulating her cultivation technique to recover her soul power and injuries.
"Uh, this match—" The person in charge of the academy arena tournament had already arrived at the arena while the two were fighting. Seeing that the two were now unable to fight anymore, he didn't know how to announce the result of the match.
"I lost--"
"I lost--"
Qian Yuhan and Ouyang Luoxue said in unison.
Person in charge: ...uh, that's practically saying nothing.
"Referee, I lost. Please announce the result quickly," Qian Yuhan continued, not giving Ouyang Luoxue a chance to speak further, and moved to the side of the arena before stepping down from it herself.
"The match is over. Number 0001 has successfully challenged for the title."
……
Xiao Na, who was in the audience, watched Qian Yuhan slowly walk down from the arena. She quickly went to his side, transferred her soul power to him so that he could stand and walk normally, and then helped him back to the Tian Dou Hotel...
