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

When Luo Ranyu is in close combat, her hands will be imbued with elemental power. At this time, Luo Ranyu's right hand is imbued with fire elemental power to enhance her strength and attack power, while her left hand is imbued with ice elemental power to enhance her defense and control. This forms a situation of ice and fire swords against ice and fire elements with Meng Hongchen's ice and fire swords.

After a few moves, Luo Ranyu knocked Meng Hongchen back with a fiery punch. Meng Hongchen slid four or five meters on the ground before the soul tool on her soul-guided armor helped her stop. She released her twin swords and smiled softly, her words carrying a hint of seduction:

"Hmph, my soul tool and soul armor both contain the poison of my martial soul. Heh, Ran Yu, now let's see how you resist me! Just fall down obediently!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Ranyu felt a bit teased, but that didn't matter. At this moment, the doubts in his heart deepened even more.

"Just as I expected! After decomposing and absorbing Meng Hongchen's Ice Toad Poison, my own power has continued to increase. My soul power has not decreased but increased, exceeding my own limit."

Luo Ranyu shifted her puzzled gaze to the three elements spinning in her hand: fire, ice, and lightning. The fire and ice elements seemed to be brighter than before, and this brightening sensation had only appeared when she first obtained the second soul skill of the three elemental martial souls. What was going on?

Luo Ranyu suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Meng Hongchen with a sudden realization.

He thought to himself, "Perhaps I can try absorbing the power of ice and fire! Let's see if my second spirit ring can be unlocked as a result!"

Seeing Luo Ranyu suddenly look at her in surprise, Meng Hongchen felt a mixture of doubt and joy, as if the scales of victory had completely tipped in her favor. A surge of triumphant joy welled up within her, and she said with a hint of mockery:

"Heh, Ranyu, why are you looking at me like that? Don't worry, after the competition, I can personally help you detoxify!"

Uh... why did her tone suddenly become a little ambiguous... Luo Ranyu thought to herself.

Having said that, Meng Hongchen raised his twin swords high, his second soul ring lighting up. Then, he pointed his right-hand fire sword forward, declaring, "Second Soul Skill, Ice Poison Ring!"

A surge of air arose, intensifying the toxicity of the toad venom in the area she had designated. Instantly, Luo Ranyu felt her speed of decomposing and absorbing the power of ice and fire suddenly increase.

Then Luo Ranyu had a sudden idea. She clutched her chest, frowned slightly, and coughed, wiping her bloodless lips as she made a fierce face with gritted teeth.

Seeing this, Xi'er looked at Luo Ranyu with concern and muttered softly, "Oh dear~ Brother Ranyu was bullied by Sister Meng. Why didn't he accept the antidote flower I gave him?"

Kim Jong-ak said helplessly, "Perhaps they don't want to rely on external means to defeat their opponent!"

Then, glancing at Luo Jiuxiao, who was still unconscious beside Xi'er, she asked疑惑地问道, "But Xiao Ran is acting a little strange!"

"Hmph, you went so easy on her, could it be that you've taken a liking to her?" Xue Qianluo retorted coldly, curling her lip.

Jin Zhongyue still looked puzzled: "No, what's strange is that Xiao Ran doesn't seem to be affected by the Ice Toad Poison. And his action just now seemed a bit deliberate."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qianlu squinted at Luo Ranyu's every move, and asked in confusion, "You mean... he has a way to resist the Ice Toad's poison? How is that possible? Zhu Qing's Ice Toad poison is extremely potent!"

Jin Zhongyue shook his head and said, "No, you have to believe him. His control over elemental power isn't just about releasing and using it. Only by learning to control and absorb it can one truly become a master of elemental power! Just watch, he has at least three ways to eliminate the threat of the Ice Toad Poison, but he hasn't used any of them. He must have his own purpose and ideas!"

In fact, Luo Ranyu herself has done quite a bit of research on poisons.

Firstly, in his previous life, in order to fight against his enemy, an enemy who was skilled in using poison, he had studied a lot of poisons and poison-attribute martial souls, and these memories had long been dug out of his mind.

Secondly, in order to fall asleep, he also tried to take various poisons. In addition, with the added effect of the three elemental martial souls of fire, ice and lightning, his body has extremely strong poison resistance.

Thirdly...

At this moment, Xue Qianluo gave Jin Zhongyue a deep look, then looked at Luo Ranyu, sighing inwardly, "Ranyu~ it seems I still don't understand you enough..."

At this moment, Luo Ranyu had been feigning hardship amidst the Ice Toad Poison for quite some time. Of course, Luo Ranyu knew she couldn't keep up the act for too long, so her first spirit ring lit up: "Spatial Path!"

A white halo appeared beneath Luo Ranyu's feet, while a black halo appeared directly in front of Meng Hongchen. In a flash, Luo Ranyu launched another attack using the spatial path, adopting a look of fearlessness, as if she were deeply poisoned and desperately wanted to fight Meng Hongchen.

Luo Ranyu's eyes were resolute because he could sense that her Zhu Qing Ice Toad Martial Soul and her Ice Toad Poison could not harm him at all. The ice and fire attributes were absorbed by his body at the same time. Under the effect of the toad poison, this power seemed a bit too intense, and he could vaguely feel the expansion of power and the awakening of his Martial Soul!

Bang! Sizzle! Amidst the flashing blades and the clash of fists and feet, Luo Ranyu did not use her own martial arts techniques, but instead carefully felt the interplay between ice and fire.

Meng Hongchen was completely unaware that Luo Ranyu's soul power was rapidly increasing. As he was absorbing the toad venom from her, he deliberately slowed down his attack intensity and speed, aiming to absorb her ice toad venom and experience it all.

"So that's how it is. The ice and fire elements in my martial soul absorbed the ice and fire from the Ice Toad Poison, greatly reducing the toxicity of the toad poison. Moreover, my martial soul has begun to change..."

While fighting, Luo Ranyu slowly comprehended the soul skill of the three elemental martial souls, which was the second soul skill!

Thrust! Stab! Meng Hongchen continued her attack, her angles unpredictable.

Luo Ranyu swayed her body, easily dodging the attack, and struck out with a palm. Inadvertently, she released a fiery aura that knocked Meng Hongchen back several meters, finally waking her up.

Only then did Meng Hongchen realize with horror that Luo Ranyu seemed to show absolutely no signs of poisoning, and she couldn't help but ask anxiously:

"You! You're not poisoned?"

Luo Ranyu smiled with relief, "You finally figured it out!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen felt both angry and aggrieved. The poison of her martial soul, which allowed her to challenge others beyond her level, had no effect on Luo Ranyu at all. It seemed she had underestimated him.

Moreover, he wasn't poisoned at all, and he kept pretending to be poisoned, which made Meng Hongchen feel like she had been deceived and mocked. How despicable! It turned out that she was the one being teased!

She was instantly enraged, her heart turned cold, and her expression changed drastically. She held her twin swords in a cross shape in front of her, still confidently declaring, "Hmph, even if you have a way to cure the poison, with a difference of two major realms, you can't possibly defeat me!"

Luo Ranyu slightly raised her head, turned to look at Meng Hongchen, flames rising in her palm, and said confidently, "Hmm, perfect, I also want to try out this new power!"

Having said that, he clenched his fists, and the flames in his palms merged into his body. The flames and icy aura on Luo Ranyu's body dissipated completely. He raised his head slightly, spread his arms, and felt the changes in his body.

"Phew~ Second Soul Skill!"

At the same time, Luo Ranyu's second spirit ring lit up, along with the fire, ice, and lightning elemental martial spirits behind her.

Jin Zhongyue, observing closely from the sidelines, said in a deep voice, "Wait, something's wrong with Xiao Ran!"

Xue Qianluo also said calmly, "Yes, that wretched Xiao Ran, he wasn't poisoned at all. How did he do that?"

Jin Zhongyue responded, "Whether he's poisoned or not is unimportant. What's important is that his aura is completely different now! The second spirit ring of his Fire-Ice-Lightning Martial Soul—a black spirit ring—is floating above the purple one from before!"

At this point, Hua Xi'er suddenly realized what was happening and, startled, released the pink butterfly in her hand. "Oh my gosh~ Brother Ran Yu's second spirit ring! It's lit up!"
