111: Mystic Ice Dragon Soaring

As this chill deepened, the Spirit within Zhou Hanyou seemed to be drawn by some powerful force, beginning to fluctuate violently.

The elemental power she was once familiar with surged within her, but it no longer felt like the sensation she was used to controlling.

She could clearly feel that her Spirit was undergoing a change; a brand new, powerful force was Awakening.

Behind her, the blue light and shadow that originally symbolized her own Spirit began to twist and deform.

The blue light gradually became deep, like an ice lake in a cold night—chilling and mysterious.

Within the light and shadow, something seemed to be slowly condensing.

Immediately after, a low Dragon roar emanated from within Zhou Hanyou. This roar was completely different from the sound she made when she used her Spirit in the past; it carried a bone-chilling cold that seemed capable of freezing the air itself.

Amidst the roar, a huge phantom of an ice Dragon gradually emerged.

The ice Dragon was crystalline and transparent throughout, as if sculpted from the purest ice crystals. Its Dragon scales shimmered with a cold blue light, emitting an intense chill.

The ice Dragon's eyes were like two clusters of deep blue flames, burning with endless cold and majesty.

Its body coiled behind Zhou Hanyou, and its massive Dragon tail swayed gently, stirring up a bone-piercing cold wind that froze the dust on the arena floor.

"Good heavens, what is that?"

"An ice Dragon, that's an ice Dragon! How could Zhou Hanyou conjure up such a thing?"

For a moment, there was a buzz of discussion off-stage, and every face wore an expression of disbelief.

After putting on the azure dragon mask, Zhou Hanyou felt a strange connection established between herself and this ice Dragon, as if it were a part of her own body.

She could feel the power of the ice Dragon; it was a powerful force capable of freezing everything.

As this connection deepened, Zhou Hanyou's consciousness began to merge with the ice Dragon. She felt as if she could view the World through the ice Dragon's eyes, sensing its desire for battle.

At this moment, He Zexi launched an attack.

A scorching pillar of fire swept toward Zhou Hanyou, carrying billowing heat waves. Wherever the flames passed, the air was almost ignited, emitting a "crackling" sound.

However, Zhou Hanyou did not panic in the slightest.

With a thought, the ice Dragon behind her roared at the sky. Its massive Dragon mouth opened, and a surging chill burst forth.

This chill met the pillar of fire in mid-air, and in an instant, the two extreme powers of ice and fire collided violently.

With a loud "boom," a powerful energy ripple spread outward from the point of collision, causing the spectators on the arena to squint their eyes.

In this energy ripple, the pillar of fire was rapidly frozen. The originally scorching flames instantly turned into crystalline ice pillars, falling one after another.

"Doesn't she have no Soul Power left?" Tao Luying exclaimed involuntarily. Even if this ice Dragon was Zhou Hanyou's trump card, the Soul Power it consumed must be immense.

"Profound Ice Dragon Soar!" Seizing the moment of her opponent's shock, Zhou Hanyou controlled the ice Dragon with one hand to launch another attack.

The ice Dragon spread its massive ice wings and swooped down toward her opponents, stirring up a freezing storm. Wherever it passed, a thick layer of ice instantly formed on the ground.

Seeing this, Tao Luying hurriedly activated her Spirit to defend, a sword formation surrounding her and He Zexi.

The ice Dragon slammed heavily into the sword formation, emitting a muffled, thunderous sound.

Under the ice Dragon's powerful force, the sword formation shook violently, and cracks appeared.

Wang Dongqi was not idle either; Silver Snake Dance seized the opportunity to attack the sword formation, shocking the two people inside until their bodies were paralyzed by Binding.

"Hanyou, now's your chance!"

Hearing Wang Dongqi's voice, Zhou Hanyou immediately increased her control over the ice Dragon, and the ice Dragon's power was released continuously.

With a roar, the power of Profound Ice Dragon Soar erupted instantly; the sword formation could no longer withstand it and shattered with a bang.

He Zexi, who was blocking in the front, was sent flying by the ice Dragon's power and fell heavily onto the arena.

His body was covered in a thick layer of ice, and he had already lost his ability to fight.

"Impossible, how could you have this kind of attack power!" Tao Luying screamed, desperately illuminating her Third Soul Skill: "Third Soul Skill, Body-Sword Fusion, Sword Person!"

Wang Dongqi still wore a cold sneer. She took a step forward, and her right hand plunged the Flash Thunder Sword into the ground, her Third Soul Skill shimmering accordingly—

"Flash Thunder Ring!" A circle of silver-white flash thunder rings suddenly erupted outward with her body as the center.

Bang!

Tao Luying, who had executed Body-Sword Fusion, was instantly sent flying, and her delicate body was further entangled by electric arc Binding, unable to move.

Zhou Hanyou took the opportunity to control the ice Dragon to roar down, crashing into her and completely ending this battle.

Everything seemed to have settled.

"Winner of the second challenge match, Zhou Hanyou, Wang Dongqi!" the referee announced urgently, fearing that Tao Luying would jump up again to dispute the announced result.

Finally, the task the dean gave him was completed... being this referee was not easy...

At this moment, Zhou Hanyou slowly removed the azure dragon mask. While feeling refreshed, she saw the mask in her hand gradually turning into fly ash, and even the huge ice Dragon's body gradually dissipated along with it.

Her heart was full of surprise and shock... This Zhuo Tianya could actually grant his own Spirit to others!

By this time, if Zhou Hanyou still couldn't see that Shen Guyan possessed twin spirits, then she would have lived these dozen years in vain.

Just as she removed the mask, someone off-stage slumped appropriately into a wheelchair, their face as pale as paper.

Don't look at just Zhou Hanyou and Wang Dongqi fighting on the arena; in reality, what Zhou Hanyou used was all the Soul Power he output through the azure dragon mask!

The azure dragon mask's Second Soul Skill, Dragon Transformation. As long as the mask is worn, it will strengthen the wearer by performing a Dragon Transformation according to their or others' Spirit attributes. For Spirit Masters who possess Dragon-type Spirits, they will receive an all-around boost; according to tests, it is approximately a fifty percent increase.

When Zhou Hanyou put on the azure dragon mask, the one that naturally emerged was an ice Dragon; for Zhou Tianer, it should be a wood Dragon, and for Wang Dongqi, it should correspond to a thunder Dragon.

"What... spirit tool was that just now?" Zhang Zhenpeng on the viewing platform was full of questions. In the current era, Spirit Masters had long begun to use spirit tools on a large scale for combat, especially those in the support system and food system. Therefore, his first thought was that Zhou Hanyou had used a spirit tool he had never seen before, thereby turning the tide of the battle.

To be honest, he originally didn't have confidence that the sisters Zhou Hanyou and Zhou Tianer would obtain a spot. Under the deliberate targeting by almost all the contestants, unless the academy disregarded fairness and announced the results directly, it would be extremely difficult for Zhou Hanyou and Zhou Tianer to stand out with their strength.

However, these two girls managed to win, and even brought along a Wang Dongqi, which made Zhang Zhenpeng very gratified.

But he was also clear that in this selection tournament, the most critical person had to be that kid Shen Guyan...
