Battle Through the Heavens II: Three Phases of Peerless Power, One Soul and Four Bodies

And this is Luo Shenyu's first soul skill of the ice element - Ice Seal! Among the three elemental first soul skills, the lightning attribute "Extreme Shadow Burst Lightning" is characterized by its speed, while the ice attribute "Ice Seal" skill is used for control.

However, as is well known, freezing soul skills can generally only control the opponent's body. Unless there is a significant difference in level or cultivation, or the elemental strength is extremely high, it is unlikely to prevent the opponent from using soul skills.

Ran Yu may see similar cases in the future; the world is by no means lacking in geniuses.

Clearly, Luo Shenyu's ice element strength is not currently powerful, or rather, Luo Jiuxiao's physique is too strong.

Suddenly, a surge of heat erupted from his body, the intense flames seeming to melt the ice crystals, and his second soul ring shone brightly.

Luo Jiuxiao's second soul skill is called Crimson Flame Blast! It condenses a large amount of crimson flames and then releases a violent beam of fire, causing an explosive impact on enemies in front of him.

The powerful heat was dispelling the freezing control effect without anyone noticing. Just as Luo Jiuxiao was about to break free from the freezing control, did Luo Ranyu really do nothing? Of course not!

Sizzle! The ice began to crack! Bang! The ice exploded instantly!

But the moment Luo Jiuxiao broke free of the icy confinement, his pupils dilated abruptly as a massive fireball, nearly half a meter in diameter, crashed down upon him.

next moment,

boom!

The moment the fireball struck, he was blasted senseless by the deafening explosion and lost consciousness for a moment.

And this is Ran Yu's first fire element soul skill - Exploding Fireball! Exploding Fireball is all about burst damage, with area-of-effect burst damage, but its drawbacks are also obvious: the charging time is long and there is a pre-cast animation when the soul skill is released.

But that's alright, as long as it's combined with the other two soul skills, its advantages can still be perfectly brought into play.

Exploding Fireball, Ice Seal, and Extreme Shadow Exploding Lightning are three soul skills with different functions but closely related to each other. Each of them is a soul skill with extremely high cost performance. In the future, they will be jokingly referred to as his "three signature moves" and will be his most frequently used elemental soul skills.

After a while, Luo Jiuxiao finally woke up, but he was in a sorry state. He was greatly shocked, not only by the speed at which Luo Ranyu released her soul skills, but also by the ingenious coordination between her soul skills.

Soon, Luo Jiuxiao chuckled and admitted defeat. Then, an unknown flower floated to Jiuxiao's side and merged into his body. Under the baptism of a pale pink halo, his injuries visibly healed.

Luo Ranyu returned to Hua Xier's side. Although he was not seriously injured, Hua Xier still offered him a small blue flower and brought her fresh and sweet face closer.

Luo Ranyu smiled faintly, habitually taking the flowers from her hand, and asked, "Blue? What kind of flower is this?"

Hua Xi'er turned her head to the side, touched her eyelid with her index finger, and said softly:

"It's just a regular morning glory, but it doesn't taste good; it's bitter..."

"Oh, really? Then I'll try it."

Luo Ranyu made a gesture as if to bring the flower to her lips, but Hua Xi'er grabbed Luo Ranyu's hand, slightly annoyed.

"Oh dear, everyone says it's bitter and doesn't taste good, how can you eat just anything?"

"Ha, then I should~~"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to show you, hehe!"

"Ah? Uh, I see, haha, so this is a morning glory!"

Luo Ranyu awkwardly returned the little blue flower to Hua Xi'er, who took the morning glory, covered her mouth, and chuckled softly.

After this battle, Luo Ranyu became famous among the lower grades and attracted the attention of several senior students, including Yu Mengdi, which paved the way for his future participation in the Soul Fighting Tournament.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Life at the academy was ultimately somewhat monotonous. Although Luo Ranyu could patiently focus on her cultivation, she occasionally wanted to find something new to do. Moreover, life at the academy required spending money in every aspect, and items like soul tools and cultivation resources were particularly expensive.

Previously, Yu Mengdi and Tang Xiaolei had given him a considerable amount of gold soul coins as an emergency payment, under the pretext of helping him hunt soul beasts. However, money always runs out eventually. Luo Ranyu pondered that rather than living off their savings, it would be better to find a way to earn money herself, which would give her more financial security.

As the sun set, he walked alone on the food street in the college, watching the vendors on both sides and listening to their shouts.

"Grilled fish, grilled fish, four copper soul coins for one grilled fish, fresh grilled fish! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, so fragrant!"

"Marshmallows~ Marshmallows~ A string of marshmallows costs only one copper coin, and they're so sweet!"

Ice cream! All kinds of flavors of ice cream and cones, ice cream for two copper coins each, and cones for only one copper coin! Don't miss it!

Luo Ranyu slowed down and observed the various stalls with great interest.

The person selling grilled fish is actually a fire-attribute soul master. The brother who is tending the fire doesn't need to burn charcoal at all; he only needs to use his soul power to create flames and input them into the stove to generate heat and flames.

The brother selling cotton candy was clearly not a fire-attribute soul master, but he injected his soul power into his soul tool device, which would then convert his soul power into the corresponding energy form. However, soul tools that could convert soul power attributes were quite expensive. This brother looked very wealthy and didn't seem like a poor student working hard to support himself. He was probably here to experience life.

What attracted Luo Ranyu's attention the most was the woman selling ice cream. She had long, smooth, snow-white hair and a gentle smile. Her freezer was wrapped in thick cotton cloth, making it look exceptionally secure.

Luo Ranyu stepped forward, stared at the ice cream in the freezer for a while, and then greeted, "Hello, sister!"

"Little brother, would you like some ice cream?" The woman with long, flowing white hair opened the freezer.

Ran Yu then saw the inside of the freezer, which was divided into an inner and outer layer. The inner layer contained ice cream, and the outer layer contained ice. To be precise, the outer layer was water, but with the help of her martial soul, she could freeze the water into ice, thus preserving the ice cream inside.

Next to the freezer is a thermometer. When the temperature of the ice layer approaches 0 degrees, around 3 or 4 degrees, she will apply her soul power again to freeze the outer layer of water into ice. Combined with the cotton cloth on the outside of the freezer, it can maintain the low temperature for a very long time.

Brilliant! Soul tools and martial souls can indeed be used in daily life, not just for combat and war.

Ran Yu bought an ice cream cone, lightly licking her lips as she pondered: But her martial soul was composed of those three strange light and shadow markings—a dark, eerie pattern—Shadow, a platinum-gold pattern—Sanctuary, and an illusory halo of uncertain shape—Void...

They don't seem to be of much use when it comes to making money. Their first soul skill has three parts: Shadow Fang, Healing Light, and Spatial Path.

Shadow Fang is a pure attack and control soul skill, which is okay for fighting, but completely useless for making money.
