All along, hiding my strength was for the sake of achieving a better ranking in the finals.
But as the competition has progressed, all thoughts of future considerations have completely vanished from Shui Bing'er's mind.
Her teammates have fought hard to get her to this point, and if she continues to remain low-key and hide her strength, she will have no face to continue serving as captain.
Moreover, as a young and talented Soul Master, Shui Bing'er also possesses her own pride and passion.
Faced with such a challenge, she decided to no longer hide, but to face it with all her might.
Through the environment that no longer completely obscured his vision, Huo Yun saw the cold glint in Shui Bing'er's eyes.
From Shui Bing'er, he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: he must launch an attack before the opponent could gain a firm foothold and knock her out of the arena.
Otherwise, he was likely to be the one to lose.
Huo Yun slightly rotated his wing blades, bent his body, and prepared to strike.
In the next moment, he exerted all his strength, stepped forward heavily, transferring power from his feet to his waist, and then from his waist to his shoulders and arms.
His arm could not swing, and the Crane Blade, condensing flames, remained stiff in place.
"This is ice!"
Huo Yun looked in surprise at the view covered by transparent ice, realizing that his body was frozen in solid ice.
His movements were frozen in the state of raising the blade.
In addition to his surprise, Huo Yun saw through the ice that Shui Bing'er's first Soul Ring behind her flashed, and her whole body burst out with an ice-blue light.
That's right, Shui Bing'er did not let go of Huo Yun's movements, and the moment he used the Crane Blade, she used her first Soul Skill, an instant-cast restriction skill, Ice Seal, completely sealing Huo Yun's proud Crane Blade skill.
"Crack!"
Starting from the position covering his arms, that is, covering a part of the Crane Blade, the ice quickly cracked.
But the scorching Crane Blade could easily melt the ice and quickly break free, but the ice on his body was not so easy to break free from.
It also took him a lot of effort and time to break free from it.
Although, this was only the first Soul Skill, under the environment that was extremely advantageous to Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix Soul, the strength of this skill was undoubtedly raised to a higher level.
However, as soon as he broke free from the ice, Shui Bing'er once again burst out with a water-blue light, and Huo Yun's body was once again frozen, not giving him any time to breathe.
And this is the horror of Control System Soul Masters.
Huo Yun struggled in the Xuan Ice, but his heart and body became cold at the same time.
If a Agility Attack System Soul Master cannot exert his speed advantage, he cannot show his original strength.
And taking advantage of the short time he was frozen, Shui Bing'er quickly cast her second Soul Skill.
An ice ring was released from her body and enveloped her body, forming a crystal-clear blue armor.
Similar to the first Soul Skill, from the森寒 cold air emanating from the armor, the strength of this skill was obviously significantly improved, and its defensive power was enough to rival a thousand-year-level Soul Skill.
Especially for fire-attribute Soul Power, the ice condensed by the Ice Phoenix was obviously stronger than Huo Yun's fire attribute, and its resistance to flames was far beyond that of other attributes.
Even Wang Xing and Ling Yun's Fire Star Ray could not maintain absolute attack power when facing such defense, as they could when shooting through other Soul Masters.
Wearing armor, Shui Bing'er rushed towards Huo Yun without hesitation.
As an Ice Phoenix Soul, although her Soul Skills are all control-type, the physical attribute blessing of the top beast Soul makes her speed not weaken at all.
"Bang!"
Ice powder shattered, and water droplets melted, Huo Yun once again broke free from the shackles.
But Shui Bing'er raised her hand and waved, and another piece of ice covered him, and the distance between her and Huo Yun narrowed again.
Facing an Agility Attack System Soul Master with strong close combat ability, a Control System Soul Master should maintain distance and control from a distance.
But Shui Bing'er did the opposite, deliberately using the gap of being controlled to quickly close the distance.
Although she didn't know her specific plan, Huo Yun was very clear that if he continued to let Shui Bing'er approach him, he might fall into crisis.
A strong sense of crisis made him burst out with powerful strength.
The fourth Soul Ring behind him quickly lit up, and the scorching fire light melted the ice seal in an instant.
Huo Yun's body burst out with a strong flame, completely covering his body.
Shui Bing'er once again cast her Ice Seal skill, but it was useless, because Huo Yun's whole body was covered by high-concentration fire element energy.
Her ice element could not penetrate at all.
And this ball of flame covered by huge fire element energy was rapidly growing, like an oval flame egg.
Soon, a loud crane cry burst out from inside the flame egg that had grown to a certain extent.
The eggshell turned into huge crane wings, born in the blizzard.
Fourth Soul Skill, Crane Cry Nine Heavens.
This was the first time Huo Yun had used his fourth Soul Skill in the competition.
The fire crane, nearly ten meters long, floated in the air, and the dark clouds and raging wind and snow in the sky could no longer cover his glory.
The heat and wind brought by the giant fire crane flapping its wings competed with the blizzard, and neither could affect each other.
Huo Yun, integrated into the fire crane, looked down at Shui Bing'er below from a high place.
Under the eruption of the fourth Soul Skill, the comparison of strength between the two once again changed.
The power of the nine-thousand-year Soul Ring completely crushed the advantage that Xue Wu and Shui Bing'er had worked so hard to accumulate.
The momentum of attack and defense was also reversed at this moment.
Huo Yun had already recognized Shui Bing'er's strength in his heart, so he would not give his opponent any chance to fight back.
The fire crane raised its crane wings, and the towering crane blade actually pierced through the dark clouds above its head, illuminating the dim arena with fire.
In the state of transforming into a fire crane, the power of using the full-strength crane blade far exceeded the limit of the Soul Ring's age, reaching the power of an ordinary Soul King realm.
The Fire Star Ray, condensed by the complete fourth Soul Ring, would only be easily cut off when facing this attack.
Huo Yun was now planning to use this blow to shatter the annoying dark clouds and Shui Bing'er together.
However, facing the raised giant blade, Shui Bing'er's face showed a stunningly bright smile.
This smile was unusually clear under the illumination of the fire, and Huo Yun, suspended in the air, felt a sudden stagnation in his heart when he saw this inappropriate smile, giving rise to a feeling of unease.
Shui Bing'er faced the threat of the giant crane blade, just like Don Quixote challenging a windmill, launching a 'reckless' charge.
Taking advantage of the momentum of her run, she leaped forward, closing the distance between them.
And in the air, she took the lead in erupting a circle of ice-blue light, sweeping towards the fire crane.
"Third Soul Skill, Repelling Ice Ring!"
