Douluo Dalu: This Soul Master is to Weird

After a long while, the cold surge finally subsided, the dense ice and snow dissipated, and the Iceflame Phoenix ultimately withstood Shui Yanyu's eighth soul skill: Extreme Cold Storm.

As for the price Shui Bing'er and Mu Yang had to pay, it was merely a significant drop in their soul power.

In reality, attacks like Extreme Cold Storm, which are multi-stage and densely packed rather than overwhelmingly powerful in a single strike, pose some threat to special energy bodies like Martial Soul Fusion Techniques or Martial Soul True Bodies, but not an overwhelming one.

After all, as long as the damage doesn't reach the endurance limit and forcibly shatter them, Martial Soul Fusion Techniques and Martial Soul True Bodies can quickly repair themselves by consuming soul power. As long as the consumption can keep up and the repair speed is faster than the opponent's destruction speed, they can hold out.

Having endured an Extreme Cold Storm, Shui Bing'er secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Unlike her first six soul skills, Extreme Cold Storm was Shui Yanyu's eighth soul skill, and eighth soul skills weren't within the unrestricted usage range of Martial Soul True Body states. They couldn't be used continuously.

Otherwise, if even eighth and ninth soul skills could be used without limits, the power difference between Titled Douluo wouldn't be so obvious.

One must know that even high-level Titled Douluo above rank 95 wouldn't dare claim they could easily withstand a rank 91 Titled Douluo's ninth soul skill, especially if it were an attack-type skill.

However, upon sensing that only half of her soul power remained, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but feel dejected.

A seven-ring Soul Sage's Martial Soul True Body could typically last at least half an hour, whereas her aunt had an impressive soul power level of rank 89. Her duration would undoubtedly be even longer.

Yet now, not long after her aunt activated her Martial Soul True Body, she herself was already down to half her soul power. It was unlikely she could hold out until her aunt's Martial Soul True Body ended and she fell into a weakened state.

Indeed, the older, the wiser.

Her aunt was still her aunt. An 89th-rank Soul Douluo was, after all, one of the rare experts on the continent, and she was still no match for her—no matter how heaven-defying her battle armor and Martial Soul Fusion Technique were. It was still just a bit lacking.

This wasn't because the Iceflame Phoenix was weak, but because she, a seventeen-year-old girl, simply lacked the combat wisdom and experience her aunt had.

It was just like how two people could have the same six god-tier items, but a Bronze or Silver player would still be utterly crushed by a Diamond or Master-tier opponent.

Moreover, controlling an eight-ring-level Iceflame Phoenix with her mere five-ring cultivation was akin to a child wielding a giant hammer—it was only natural that she couldn't fully unleash its potential.

'Bing'er, let me take over!'

At that moment, Mu Yang's voice rang in Shui Bing'er's mind.

'Can we turn this around?'

Shui Bing'er was momentarily stunned before quickly asking.

Strictly speaking, the outcome of this soul duel didn't matter much, but what it represented did.

After all, her aunt Shui Yanyu was an 89th-rank Soul Douluo—one of the strongest individuals below the Titled Douluo realm, aside from a handful of exceptional eight-ring Soul Douluo with extraordinary martial souls.

If they won, it would mean that as long as no Titled Douluo appeared, very few soul masters on the continent could be their match.

For Shui Bing'er, who knew that Mu Yang possessed the rare treasure of a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, this was extremely significant.

'Not sure.'

Could he defeat Shui Yanyu? To be honest, Mu Yang wasn't absolutely confident, but a lack of certainty didn't mean there was no chance at all.

Without hesitation, Shui Bing'er handed over control of the Martial Soul Fusion Technique to Mu Yang.

'Wait—'

Before Mu Yang could finish speaking, the Iceflame Phoenix soaring in the sky suddenly radiated a dazzling icy-blue light.

In the blink of an eye, the massive Iceflame Phoenix with a wingspan of thirty meters transformed into the humanoid form of Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow.

Mu Yang: "!!"

Goodness, is Bing'er really setting me up here?

One had to know that the Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow didn't have the ability to fly! The moment they changed forms, they immediately started plummeting freely from high above!

Luckily, though the girl was a bit of a troublemaker, she wasn't completely unreliable. A surge of radiant blue light erupted as a ring of icy-blue domain energy spread outward from the Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow, covering a radius of dozens of meters.

In the next moment, energy surged and condensed into a lifelike ice-blue dragon, measuring thirty meters long and wreathed in flames of frost.

Immediately, the ice-blue dragon flicked its tail and swiftly swam beneath them, catching the falling Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow.

Mu Yang: Ice Dragon Knight—achieved!

'Hehe~'

Shui Bing'er's awkward chuckle rang in Mu Yang's mind.

She was so used to flying that she had completely forgotten the Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow couldn't fly.

But at this moment, Mu Yang, who had just achieved his Dragon Knight moment, had no time to scold Shui Bing'er.

From above, Shui Yanyu, still in her Ice Sparrow True Body, activated her sixth soul ring once again, unleashing a beam of ice-blue energy that shot toward them at high speed.

As a veteran in the soul master world, Shui Yanyu's combat experience needed no explanation. She was fully aware of the Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow's inability to fly and immediately took advantage of this weakness to launch an opening strike.

After all, even if they lost their Iceflame Dragon, the two wouldn't actually suffer any real harm.

They could either revert to the Iceflame Phoenix form or exit the Martial Soul Fusion state, allowing the airborne Shui Bing'er to carry the non-flying Mu Yang to safety. Either way, they could resolve the situation.

Seeing the Extreme Ice Feather rapidly closing in, Mu Yang tapped his foot lightly and leaped off the Iceflame Dragon's back.

At the same time, with a single thought, he controlled the Iceflame Dragon to evade the incoming attack and charge directly at Shui Yanyu.

Meanwhile, now falling freely once more, Mu Yang channeled his soul power into his legs and activated the Movement Technique. His movements became light as a feather, as if he could shrink the ground beneath him, gracefully descending toward the snowy mountain peak below.

With each step in midair, Mu Yang would dissipate a portion of his downward momentum. In an instant, the Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow landed steadily atop the snowy mountain peak.

Airborne stepping techniques? Who didn't know how to use them?

Well, whether others could do it or not, Mu Yang didn't care. After mastering the Soaring Immortal Steps, he certainly could.

More importantly, the flight disadvantage of the Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow was irrelevant to him.

Or rather, it was initially a problem, but ever since he obtained the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, it no longer existed.

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone Ability: Flight granted Mu Yang the ability to fly freely—and at an incredibly low energy cost.

'Bing'er and I both have about thirty percent of our soul power left. I wonder if it's enough…'

Standing atop the snowy mountain peak, Mu Yang gazed at the massive Ice Sparrow battling the Iceflame Dragon in the sky. Feeling the remaining soul power within him, he couldn't help but contemplate.

The soul power consumption of a Martial Soul Fusion Technique was unique—it couldn't be provided solely by one person, nor was it evenly shared. Instead, the one with more soul power would consume more, while the one with less would consume less.
