"Seventh Bro, I'm begging you. Have mercy …" the monkey was still crying out.
"Lu Yin, as long as you tell me what the monkey said before he died, I'll let you lose with dignity," Feng Jiu said as she stared at Lu Yin.
"Seventh Bro, please let Sister Feng Jiu lose with dignity!" the monkey shouted.
Lu Yin was furious. "Shut up. If you keep talking, I'll kill you."
For a moment, Lu Yin's ears fell silent. On the other side, Feng Jiu's fury completely exploded. She thought that Lu Yin had said, "You're looking for death!" Her long blue hair danced in the wind as the sky turned white. An extreme chill whizzed through the air and pressed down from the sky. It was as if a giant block of ice had crashed down, freezing everything in the world.
All of the students were shocked, and their limbs stiffened. The extreme cold made it impossible for them to speak.
Even the mentors' screens that isolated the battlefield started to sparkle.
From a distance, the battlefield looked like a giant square block of ice. As the wind blew, an endless chill swept through the Lifeseek Realm.
Lu Yin had not expected Feng Jiu to erupt so thoroughly, and he was caught off guard by the cold. Even the ice on his body started to form.
On the other side, Feng Jiu's gaze was cold as she raised a finger. "This is the lesson you deserve." Then, a blue light swept out from her fingertip and froze the void. It descended upon Lu Yin and instantly pierced through him before disappearing into the void. At this moment, even the cracks in the void were frozen into white crystals.
No one had expected this battle to erupt so quickly or so terrifyingly. This chill was even more terrifying than the baleful aura from the Astral Combat Tournament.
What about Lu Yin?
Was he dead?
To the east, Starsibyl was solemn. What a powerful chill! As expected of the Celestial Ice Phoenixes, even she had to treat this chill seriously.
To the west, Yun from the Technocracy had a look of admiration in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by disdain.
Among the many spectating students, Big Pao, Little Pao, Michelle, and the others all had ugly expressions. The chill was too strong. Kuang Wang, Liu Xiaoyun, and the other student leaders also had solemn expressions. Even they had a hard time dispelling this chill. This was the strength of the Astral Beast Domain's Academy Head.
To the south, Tian Hou's eyes, which were hidden beneath his black robes, stared at the frozen Lu Yin with a solemn expression. This person was unharmed.
Feng Jiu was second only to him among the contestants from the Astral Beast Galaxy. Tian Hou had originally thought that this round was in the bag, but looking at Lu Yin, he had a bad premonition that this person wasn't ordinary.
On the Great Yu Empire's Zenyu Star, everyone was dumbfounded. Had the Royal Regent lost?
Countless people stared at the field at the same time.
Everyone was staring at Lu Yin, including Feng Jiu.
"Seventh, um, Seventh Bro, don't be angry. Have mercy, please don't be angry …" The monkey's voice was still ringing in Lu Yin's ears. Lu Yin's gaze turned icy, and he drew out star energy from his right arm to block the monkey. He was angry.
The shielding monkey needed to isolate star energy, which meant that he couldn't use his right arm.
Kacha
The solid ice shattered, and Feng Jiu's gaze turned cold. Lu Yin hadn't died! Her ice was enough to freeze everything, and even Embermane's flames were afraid of it. Of all the contestants, aside from Tian Hou and Starsibyl, there shouldn't be anyone who could easily dissolve her ice.
There was a loud bang, and the ice covering Lu Yin's body completely shattered. There were a few thicker layers of ice on his body, which had been caused by Feng Jiu's strands of cold energy. It seemed as if they had pierced through his body, but they had merely brushed past him. His body was completely unharmed.
Lu Yin looked up at Feng Jiu, and his body suddenly vanished. At the same time, Feng Jiu's eyes flashed with blue light, and with her body as the center, an extreme frost swept out in all directions and froze the void. Her attack was omnidirectional, and no matter how fast Lu Yin was, even if he was hidden in the void, he would still be frozen.
Suddenly, a palm appeared in front of Feng Jiu and approached her. Lu Yin walked out of the void, his five-lined battle force glowing with a dark gold light. He shattered the frost with a single palm and arrived right in front of Feng Jiu. Feng Jiu hadn't expected Lu Yin to be able to tear through her frost so easily. She retreated without hesitation and let out a cry as her body transformed into a beautiful blue ice phoenix. She flapped her wings, causing an even more terrifying frost to descend.
This frost was even colder than before, and it felt as if one would be frozen just by looking at it. This was the extreme frost released by the Celestial Ice Phoenix's true body. She didn't need a domain because her innate gift of frost was enough to freeze everything.
When the Celestial Ice Phoenix's true body descended, Embermane and Hua Yishou from the Astral Beast Domain believed that the battle was over. Only a few contestants could withstand this frost, and Lu Yin was definitely not one of them.
The cold air surprised Lu Yin, as it was very troublesome to deal with. If he had been at the same power level as during the Astral Combat Tournament, then it would have been very difficult for him to defeat Feng Jiu. But now, he had yet to reach the limit of what he could endure.
The palm that tore through the frost was not frozen, and it firmly slammed into Feng Jiu's enormous body. Feng Jiu cried out in pain as her enormous body was sent flying. She spat out a mouthful of blood in midair before turning into a block of ice and crashing to the ground.
Lu Yin walked out of the void and waved a hand, causing the cold air to transform into a whirlwind that swept into the sky. It then turned into rain and snow that gradually dissipated.
To the south, Embermane was shocked. "Impossible! Feng Jiu's frost didn't affect him at all?"
Tian Hou's eyes were fixed on Lu Yin. "This human is very strong."
Countless people were shocked. Everyone could see how terrifying Feng Jiu's frost was, but it had not affected Lu Yin at all. Lu Yin's display of strength shocked even Yun from the Technocracy. Of course, she was only slightly surprised; Lu Yin was still an ant.
There was a loud boom as Feng Jiu's body crashed into the ground, creating a huge crater. A layer of ice spread across her body, freezing everything within a radius of ten thousand meters.
Lu Yin did not chase after her, and he simply looked at Feng Jiu.
The Celestial Ice Phoenix's wings were stained with blood as she pathetically collapsed to the ground. After a while, she finally got up and looked at Lu Yin with her blue eyes. She was deeply shocked. "Human, why aren't you frozen?"
Lu Yin's tone was cold. "If that's all you have, then this battle is over."
Feng Jiu struggled to get up. Lu Yin's Overlaying Stacks had shattered many of her internal organs, but this battle was not over yet. The Celestial Ice Phoenix still had an innate gift. "Die, tri-colored light!" Feng Jiu's antlers flashed as they swept towards Lu Yin.
This was the Celestial Ice Phoenix's powerful tri-colored light. They had both Ultimate Zero, which could freeze everything, and Tri-Colored Light, which could dissolve everything. These two innate gifts were what allowed the Celestial Ice Phoenix to be ranked seventh on the Celestial Beast Rankings.
Lu Yin had heard the monkey mention tri-colored light before, and when he saw the light sweep towards him, he shifted his body to the side and casually brushed past it. He was shocked to see that this light really could dissolve battle force, but he could not see how it worked even through his domain. Only by combining the Sirius Art and the Giant Emperor's third eye would he be able to see how it worked.
Feng Jiu seemed to have gone crazy. She froze the ground and sky while using her tri-colored light to sweep towards Lu Yin.
Countless people were shocked by this scene, as this ice phoenix was too powerful. Her tri-colored light could dissolve everything, but it did not dissolve her own ice. The combination of the two was flawless.
Lu Yin continuously dodged and tried several times, but he still could not understand the principles behind the tri-colored light. When he thought about it, he could not help but laugh. This was someone else's innate gift, and he was just a Limiteer. If he wanted to understand this innate gift, then he was thinking too much. He then looked at Feng Jiu. It was time for this battle to end.
Lu Yin stopped in midair and suddenly charged towards Feng Jiu.
Feng Jiu's eyes were cold as the tri-colored light swept out from her antlers. At the same time, a chill shot up into the sky and pressed down on Lu Yin. She wanted to use her tri-colored light to dissolve Lu Yin's five-lined battle force and then use the chill to freeze him.
Lu Yin snorted, and the tri-colored light instantly enveloped him as his five-lined battle force quickly dissipated. Feng Jiu was excited, as this was the way to go. Without his five-lined battle force, she was confident that her body's extreme chill would be enough to freeze this person.
Unfortunately, Feng Jiu had forgotten that there was a gap between the tri-colored light dissipating and the chill freezing. Although this gap was only two seconds, it was more than enough for Lu Yin. So what if he did not have five-lined battle force? He had not even used his five-lined battle force to dissolve the chill that Feng Jiu had released when she was in human form.
Lu Yin passed through the tri-colored light and appeared in front of Feng Jiu. Under her astonished gaze, he struck out with a palm. "Nine Stacks, Seventeenfold Shockwave Palm."
Boom!
The ground cracked open and formed a deep pit. Feng Jiu's body was heavily pressed into the ground as a huge void crack extended from her back. It was as if thunder had been suppressed and scattered in all directions. The ground exploded, and even the ice that had been about to freeze Lu Yin shattered. However, Feng Jiu's body disappeared in an instant. She had not been able to withstand Lu Yin's attack.
The crowd watched this scene in shock. Lu Yin's five-lined battle force had been dissolved, but he had still been able to instantly kill Feng Jiu. Just how strong was his physical body?
"Fourth match, Lu Yin, victory."
In the distance, Nightqueen Yanqing clenched her fists. It was this attack that had completely buried her glory during the Astral Combat Tournament. At that time, he had only used five-lined battle force, but now, he could use it with his physical body alone. He had even defeated Feng Jiu, which meant that he had become even stronger.
At this moment, someone realized something. "Did you guys notice? Lu Yin hasn't used his right hand at all."
Everyone was horrified when they heard this, and they all looked at Lu Yin. That's right, he had not used his right hand at all. He had only used his left hand twice in this battle.
Wu Wu was stunned. "Bro, I'm impressed. He single-handedly defeated Feng Jiu."
Liu Xiaoyun and the others had also noticed this, and they all looked at Lu Yin in amazement. Just how strong was he now?
Lu Yin walked out of the battlefield, and the star energy in his right arm was restored. The monkey's strange cry could be heard. "Little Sister Feng Jiu, my Little Sister Feng Jiu! Seventh Bro, what did you do to her?"
"I've taken care of her," Lu Yin answered.
The monkey immediately wailed.
Lu Yin frowned. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll block you."
"Seventh Bro, she's your future sister-in-law." The monkey felt wronged.
Lu Yin was speechless.
Not too far away, Starsibyl sized Lu Yin up with a strange gaze.
Lu Yin felt uncomfortable under her gaze. "Is something the matter?"
Starsibyl smiled. "Believe it or not, I can see two outcomes from your body."
"What do you mean?" Lu Yin raised a brow.
Starsibyl smiled and stepped onto the battlefield. It was her turn next.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed; he was trying to be mysterious.
Starsibyl's appearance on the battlefield excited all of the Astral Combat Academy students. This was a guaranteed victory.
There was no need to explain; Starsibyl was invincible. This was common knowledge among all of the Astral Combat Academy students. She was the leader of Astral-1 and the Realm Master of the Lifeseek Realm. Although most of the students did not know that she was Starsibyl, this did not stop them from having more confidence in her than Lu Yin, regardless of who her opponent was.
