Chen Xin did not continue to answer Ning Fengzhi's words because he knew Ye Feng's character. Ye Feng would never do anything unless he was confident in success.
"What's going on?"
"I can't see anything! Who's winning?"
The ice covering the arena blocked everyone's view, making it hard to tell what was happening inside.
"Skywater Academy has been hiding their martial spirit fusion skill throughout the entire preliminaries, and now they've finally used it," Huo Wushuang said with emotion.
"Finally, someone is putting Ye Feng in his place," Huo Wu said, looking pleased. After all, she had been looking forward to someone teaching Ye Feng a lesson. If that someone was Tang San, then she wouldn't have to be Feng Xiaotian's girlfriend.
But after a moment, she muttered with frustration, "Still... I wanted to defeat him myself."
"Don't get ahead of yourself. The match isn't over yet," Huo Wushuang reminded her.
While ordinary spectators couldn't see what was happening, spirit masters knew exactly what was going on in the arena. Ye Feng's fifth spirit ring lit up with a deep black glow, and a set of armor radiating an air of dominance materialized around him. The armor was adorned with the body of a dragon, the arms of an eagle, the shoulders of a tiger, the back of a mastiff, and the legs of a rhino. Its main color was gold, symbolizing supreme power, with silver decorations. The bodysuit beneath was black and purple, while key areas like the visor and shield were blood red. His belt and knee guards displayed a black-and-white Yin-Yang Taiji diagram, surrounded by eight yellow dots representing the Bagua and the five elements, along with the insignias of a flame dragon, wind eagle, black rhino, ground tiger, and snow mastiff. The armor exuded a mysterious aura.
Standing firm in his golden armor, Ye Feng let Shui Bing'er's spirit skill rain down on him. Around him, a thin layer of energy flickered—a protective aura that blocked every snowflake falling from the dark clouds above.
"His fifth spirit skill is insanely powerful!" Tang San frowned, realizing that Ye Feng had been holding back its true defensive capabilities.
Although it was a large-scale attack skill, Shui Bing'er believed that if she could land her strongest strike, Ye Feng wouldn't last long.
"Future wife, you seem to have overlooked something." Ye Feng's voice rang out confidently.
"Did you forget? I'm immune to ice."
"Ice immunity?" Shui Bing'er frowned but quickly composed herself. "It doesn't matter. Let's see if you can take this next move."
She was getting anxious. Activating their martial spirit fusion skill was a massive drain on their energy. If they couldn't break through Ye Feng's Nine Heart Emperor Armor, they would inevitably lose.
She sighed inwardly. A 50,000-year-old spirit skill… no wonder it's so strong.
What she didn't know was that Ye Feng's ability wasn't just any 50,000-year-old spirit skill. It was something gifted by his system—a skill that condensed the power of all things in the world, far beyond the ordinary. That was why it bore the title of "Emperor." Without absolute power, there was no way to crack it.
"I didn't expect Ye Feng to be this strong!" Shui Yue'er couldn't help but exclaim. "Even after using our martial spirit fusion skill, if we still can't win… how can Skywater Academy maintain its reputation?"
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er exchanged determined glances.
Suddenly, something strange began happening in the arena. The ice and snow rapidly retracted, converging toward the sky. The surrounding temperature plummeted, reaching terrifying lows. Spectators near the arena found themselves covered in a thin layer of ice, forcing the referee to activate a protective barrier.
The intense cold froze the entire stage solid. Shui Bing'er infused her martial spirit's origin power into the swirling snowflakes, forming a massive, seven-meter-long blue phoenix. The sheer icy energy radiating from it sent chills down the spines of even the VIPs.
"Dammit! Why isn't he using the Xuanyuan Sword?!" Ning Fengzhi anxiously struck the ground with his cane.
With their combined power fueling the Ice Phoenix, its strength was unimaginable. Only ultimate power could stand against it. Ye Feng had ultimate power—the Xuanyuan Sword, the strongest attack-type spirit.
And yet, even now, he hadn't drawn it. He was relying only on his Nine Hearts Mysterious Tang martial spirit.
"Ultimate power?" Ye Feng smirked. "Yeah, it's strong. But… who says an auxiliary-type martial spirit can't have ultimate power?"
First Spirit Skill: Beast Blood Boiling.
His first spirit ring lit up in a crimson glow, enveloping him in an aura of raw power. His blood surged, his strength increased by 59%, and the protective energy around him thickened.
In the original storyline, Tang San had to use his Eight Spider Lances just to barely tie with Shui Bing'er.
But for Ye Feng?
Even without his external spirit bone, the Dragon Phoenix Ancient Wing, he was confident he could take them down.
"Get out of the way!" Shui Bing'er shouted desperately. "The Ice Phoenix's power is too strong—I can't control it anymore!"
Ye Feng grinned. "You're such a kind girl. It makes me want to hold you in my arms. I, Ye Feng, will definitely make you my wife. But..."
He smirked. "Future wife, did you forget? I still haven't used my Xuanyuan Sword martial spirit!"
Shui Bing'er's heart skipped a beat.
In her moment of hesitation, the Ice Phoenix lost stability and began spiraling uncontrollably toward Ye Feng.
Its energy surged forward, freezing everything in its path. If he didn't use a counter, even the blood in his veins could freeze solid.
"Be careful!" Shui Bing'er cried out.
"Thanks for the warning," Ye Feng replied casually.
With a confident grin, he slammed his palm against the ground.
Fourth Spirit Skill: Landslide and Earthshatter.
The entire arena trembled. But instead of using the ability to attack Shui Bing'er or block the incoming Ice Phoenix, he did something different…
Five massive fissures cracked open before him, and molten magma shot up from below. Then, shifting his body, he braced himself for impact.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Ice Phoenix crashed through the towering magma eruptions one by one.
"So that's his plan!" Ning Fengzhi finally relaxed, the worry on his face vanishing.
"I see now… Ice and fire are opposites. Ye Feng didn't use his Earthshatter skill to knock away the Ice Phoenix, but to weaken it! He created five barriers of molten energy to burn through the phoenix's power layer by layer."
Shaking his head, Ning Fengzhi chuckled. "That guy had me worried for nothing."
His smile grew. Ye Feng's intelligence and talent truly exceeded expectations. If possible, he wouldn't mind pushing Ning Rongrong and Ye Feng's relationship further.
Meanwhile, Tang San frowned, watching Ye Feng slide five or six meters across the stage after tanking the Ice Phoenix's final strike.
This guy…
Ye Feng's ability to adapt mid-battle was a problem. A big problem.
For the first time, Tang San wondered—had leaving Shrek Academy been a huge mistake?
