Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King

Xu Xiaoyan walked forward and looked up at the sky. The grove of trees in the academy wasn't very lush, unlike the dense foliage of the Ascension Platform.

The stars twinkled in the sky, and she nodded gently. "Let me begin."

With a wave of her hand, a yellow spirit ring rose from beneath her feet, and a long ice staff appeared in her grasp.

The golden light in Gu Yue's palm shone on the ice staff, causing it to reflect a faint golden light, filled with a sacred glow.

Xu Xiaoyan's face turned serious, she raised her ice staff high, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Stars in the sky, twinkling bright, forever radiant, may Chang'an be at peace! Grant me power, my star wheel." As she softly chanted, the tip of her ice staff suddenly lit up.

"How embarrassing!" That was Nan Fusheng's first feeling. Even as an observer, he felt a strange sense of shame upon hearing these words, as if his past as a teenager had been exposed.

How could this little girl so seriously utter such a shameful incantation? Oh, she's still young, so it's alright.

Nan Fusheng immediately turned his attention back to Xu Xiaoyan. He vaguely saw an inconspicuous pale golden light descend from the sky and land on her ice staff.

Instantly, at the tip of the ice staff, it was as if a lamp had been lit, and a ball of golden light spread out, gradually transforming into a golden halo containing a six-pointed star.

The spirit rings beneath her feet were also filled with starlight, and a golden star lit up on her forehead, becoming her most beautiful adornment.

With a light wave of his ice staff, the magical six-pointed star flew out and landed directly at Xie Xie's feet.

In an instant, Xie Xie felt his whole body tighten and feel cold, and he lost the ability to move.

The stars shone brightly, and streaks of starlight rose from beneath his feet, transforming into chains of ice that bound his body.

Xie Xie hurriedly activated his soul power to resist, but he was surprised to find that there seemed to be a special force sealing him, and his soul power was circulating much slower than normal.

This……

Xu Xiaoyan's face was slightly pale. She looked at everyone and said, "At night, I can use the power of the Star Wheel. That's why my martial soul is the Star Wheel Ice Staff, not my brother's ice staff."

The Star Wheel Ice Staff is a special mutated martial soul passed down from our family's ancient times. Only I have awakened it in hundreds of years. The Star Wheel will grow along with my strength, so whatever my soul spirit is, after being absorbed, it will become a part of my Star Wheel.

Only at night does it truly unleash its power. During the day, I'm just an ordinary Ice Staff Soul Master, but at night, I'm protected by starlight.

"The Star Wheel will grant me astrological attributes in addition to my icy attributes, allowing me to draw upon the power of the stars. The best thing about astrological attributes is their absolute validity."

With my current strength, I can use the Star Wheel as a trigger to freeze someone. The speed at which they dissipate depends on their cultivation level. But with a minimum certainty, I can freeze them for at least one second.

Astrological attributes? They had never heard of that before. But the facts were clear: Xie Xie, who had the highest soul power among them (and was unaware of Nan Fusheng's soul power), had been trapped in the star wheel for five seconds and still hadn't escaped.

Five seconds is a long time; there's so much you can do in that time. Even Nan Fusheng, a fragile mage, wasn't sure he could break free. Of course, that was assuming Xu Xiaoyan could hit him.

"After using Star Wheel, will you still have the ability to fight?" Gu Yue suddenly asked Xu Xiaoyan.

Xu Xiaoyan shook her head with a wry smile, "No, I can't move when I use the Star Wheel ability, otherwise it will be deactivated. Otherwise, its power wouldn't be so great. Therefore, the biggest advantage of this ability is its synergy."

According to my family's records, as my cultivation level increases, my astrological attribute will grant me additional abilities. It's like each of my spirit rings can possess two spirit skills at night, essentially creating a dual martial soul. However, this won't be possible during the day; it will just be an ice staff.

As expected, powerful abilities always come with powerful limitations. The inability to move or launch additional attacks while using astrological powers limits her from being invincible in one-on-one situations. Furthermore, it can only be used at night.

Even so, the terrifying power of this ability within a team is unimaginable! In crucial moments, it can absolutely turn the tide of battle.

There are so many things you can do if you freeze for even a second.

"Stop using your supernatural powers, little miss," Xie Xie said with a bitter face.

Xu Xiaoyan smiled sweetly, and with a flash of light from the Star Wheel Ice Staff in her hand, the golden light and ice chains on Xie Xie's body disappeared at the same time.

In truth, she was also nearing her limit; behind her immense strength lay enormous energy expenditure. And if Xie Xie continued to struggle, he could still break free.

Chapter 91 Challenging Wu Changkong

"It's a pity we can't change day and night, otherwise, we might have given Teacher Wu a surprise," Xie Xie said, shivering.

His body was still a bit stiff; the Star Wheel Chains were a combination of astrology and ice attributes, and enduring them was certainly not a pleasant experience.

Nan Fusheng smiled and said, "That's alright, we can go and ask Teacher Wu to practice. I'm sure he won't object."

Xie Xie met his gaze, a mischievous glint appearing in his eyes. He couldn't bear that feeling alone.

With an absolute certainty for just one second, plus Nan Fusheng's control... hehe, it might give Teacher Wu a big surprise!

The next moment, the five of them sat down cross-legged on the spot with perfect understanding and began to meditate and cultivate.

"You want to challenge me now?" Wu Changkong was somewhat surprised by what the five students who had arrived said.

"Yes, please guide us, teacher," Nan Fusheng said earnestly.

"Let's go." Wu Changkong nodded. It was already quite late, and the dormitory lights were mostly off. He didn't take them to the combat zone, but went straight to the training ground.

These little guys are either looking for trouble or wanting to surprise him; whatever the reason, let them have their way.

The playground was silent and dark in the dead of night. Wu Changkong walked until he reached the center of the playground before stopping. He flicked his white robes and said calmly, "Come on."

Nan Fusheng said, "Teacher Wu, you are so powerful, shouldn't you suppress your strength to fight against us? Our highest cultivation level is only two rings, and you also suppress your cultivation level to two rings, so you can only use the first two soul skills, right?"

Wu Changkong narrowed his eyes slightly. He was an adult, and if he couldn't even guess the mindset of children, he wouldn't be fit to be a teacher. From Nan Fusheng's words, he could clearly tell that these little guys wanted to win!

They were familiar with the strength of the four of them. Although Nan Fusheng's soul skills were powerful, they weren't that much of a threat as long as they were on guard. Therefore, the problem could only lie with Xu Xiaoyan.

"Okay," Wu Changkong replied indifferently. For him, winning or losing was acceptable.

Even if their soul power and soul skills are suppressed to the second ring level, the physical attributes, reaction speed, and combat experience of a Soul Emperor cannot be suppressed. Let him see what these little guys are so confident about fighting him.

Nan Fusheng and his companions exchanged glances, then immediately led the four of them to retreat quickly, forming a new formation.

Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue lined up in order, with Nan Fusheng and Xu Xiaoyan behind them. This was the famous 3-2 formation.

One after another, the spirit rings lit up, becoming exceptionally bright in the night, as Tang Wulin made the first move.

One after another, strands of blue silver grass surged forth, instantly covering an area of ​​several dozen square meters and shielding all his companions behind them. At the same time, Tang Wulin's right arm was already wreathed in golden light, and amidst the shimmering pale golden glow, his right arm was covered with diamond-shaped dragon scales.

He let out a low shout and charged straight at Wu Changkong. One after another, strands of Blue Silver Grass swarmed up, and he immediately activated his soul skill, Entangling!

Hundreds of Blue Silver Grasses roared upwards, unleashing a thousand-year-old soul ring skill—quite astonishing. As Tang Wulin charged, the air whistled as the Blue Silver Grasses propelled him forward.

One of the Blue Silver Grasses deftly flicked a figure into the air—it was Xie Xie. Xie Xie flew over Wu Changkong's head, then suddenly plummeted down from diagonally above and behind him, unleashing his Twin Dragon Storm attack without holding back.

They all knew that the longer the fight went on, the smaller their chances became; only a sudden burst of energy could give them a chance to win.

Wu Changkong stood still, holding the Heavenly Frost Sword in his right hand and lightly pinching the tip of the sword with his left. Facing the attacks of the youths, he stood still without moving, and there was no emotional fluctuation on his face. It seemed that there was nothing in this world that could affect his emotions.

The next moment, a thin layer of icy mist appeared on his body. The icy mist quickly spread from his body and enveloped Tang Wulin and Xie Xie who were close to him.

Second Soul Skill: Frost Mist.

This is to defend against Nan Fusheng's soul skill. Nan Fusheng's first soul skill requires visual observation or mental lock-on of the opponent.

Since that's the case, Wu Changkong simply used frost mist to conceal himself. This icy mist also contained his spiritual power, which could effectively prevent Nan Fusheng's spiritual power from locking onto him.

At the same time, this also effectively guarded against Xu Xiaoyan. No matter what ability you have, it is meaningless if you can't see your opponent or use it.

He flicked his Heavenly Frost Sword, and a pale blue halo expanded outwards. This halo seemed to possess an endless attraction, drawing in Gu Yue's attacks and guiding them into the air. Gu Yue felt as if he had lost control of these elemental attacks in an instant.

Simple and effective. This has always been Wu Changkong's forte.

The Twin Dragon Storm continuously shredded the elemental attacks, but its unstoppable momentum as it fell from the sky was also affected.

A flash of purple light appeared in Wu Changkong's eyes, and Tang Wulin subconsciously activated his Purple Demon Eye to try to resist, but a wave of dizziness still came, and the Blue Silver Grass that had wrapped around him was also a beat too slow.

As Wu Changkong's Frost Sword swung around, the solemnity he had shown while drawing circles vanished, replaced by unparalleled lightness. Threads of light sword lightly drifted out, landing precisely on each strand of Blue Silver Grass. Frost mist immediately appeared on the surface of the Blue Silver Grass, then rippled outwards.

It seemed that with just one slash of his sword, a hundred sword threads burst forth, perfectly deflecting all the Blue Silver Grass.

In the air, the Twin Dragon Storm descended, and Wu Changkong's figure suddenly became illusory—the Tang Clan's ultimate technique, Ghost Shadow Step.

At first, Xie Xie could keep up with his pace, constantly adjusting his attack position. However, his changes were too fast, and by the time the Twin Dragon Storm was about to land, it had completely lost its lock on him. The attack missed.

A wisp of ice lashed out, and Xie Xie only had time to use his Light Dragon Blade to block it before the chill hit him, sending him flying.

At this very moment, Tang Wulin arrived right in front of Wu Changkong. In a one-on-one fight, even if Wu Changkong suppressed his cultivation, it seemed that Tang Wulin had no chance whatsoever.

However, at this moment, Wu Changkong made a choice that surprised everyone.

Suddenly, strands of sword energy burst forth, and not only that, a cloud of frost mist also erupted from his body, spreading outwards. The fine sword energy instantly intertwined around his body, forming a large net that completely protected him.

Chapter 92 Won

"Clang—" Tang Wulin's golden dragon claw pierced into the sword threads, instantly shattering a large section of them. Although this claw shattered the ice threads on the front, he himself was also greatly shaken and took a step back.

It was at this step that his offensive was already affected.

Nan Fusheng's control was activated at the most critical moment, but no one expected Wu Changkong to mount a defense. This defense was perfectly timed.

Wu Changkong's eyes shone brightly. The icy mist around his body reappeared. Even if he suppressed his cultivation to the second ring, it was still much stronger than the others' second rings, because those were compressed rings, plus the difference in the application of soul power.

Even if Nan Fusheng could control him, it would only last two or three seconds at most. After all, his mental power wasn't suppressed; at most, he could only suppress his own senses.

Frost Mark was enough to protect him for two or three seconds. The Heavenly Frost Sword bounced up again, this time pointing directly at Nan Fusheng.

Since you dared to teleport in, I might as well take care of you first! This was Wu Changkong's idea.

Among the five, Nan Fusheng was the most troublesome. His unpredictable control always seemed to work against him at crucial moments.

Once he is under control, he will inevitably face a barrage of attacks from Tang Wulin and his group. After Nan Fusheng reaches the second ring and gains spatial abilities, things will become even more complicated.

That was practically continuous spatial teleportation, making Nan Fusheng as slippery as an eel, even more troublesome than Gu Yue. At least Gu Yue's teleportation had a cooldown period!

Just as the Heavenly Frost Sword was about to strike Nan Fusheng, Wu Changkong saw the smile on Nan Fusheng's face. He instinctively sensed something was wrong. The Frost Mark erupted again, and he tried to rearrange his defenses.

But this time, it was too late.
