Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 110 The Soaring Upper Limit of Strength (Part 2)

Once you come into contact with the Ice Flame Phoenix's icy flames, you'll be stuck in a cycle of being frozen and burned.

Moreover, not only is the Ice Flame extremely disgusting, but the problem of Martial Soul suppression cannot be ignored either.

When facing the Ice Flame Phoenix, which is formed by combining Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix Martial Soul with Mu Yang's Ice Flame Sacred Shadow Martial Soul, her Frost Sparrow Martial Soul will inevitably be suppressed because, although it belongs to the same ice-attribute flying beast Martial Soul as the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, its quality is far lower than that of the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, thus limiting her own strength to a certain extent.

Fortunately, she was of a higher level, and her overall qualities were even superior to those of the Ice Flame Phoenix. Moreover, the effect of her Martial Soul True Body was extremely powerful. Otherwise, under the suppression of her Martial Soul, she would most likely not have had any chance of winning at all.

"Auntie, be careful!"

Shui Bing'er's voice came from the Ice Flame Phoenix. With a flap of its wings, the Ice Flame Phoenix soared into the sky.

The next second, the ice-blue flames around the Ice Flame Phoenix surged, and as its soul power surged, dense ice-blue feathers suddenly condensed and shot towards Shui Yanyu.

Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Ice Flame Phoenix does not possess any other abilities besides its unique ice and flame fire.

However, skills can be learned and mastered. Given the weakness of the Ice Flame Phoenix's powerful but limited methods of spewing ice flames, Shui Bing'er drew inspiration from the Extreme Ice Arrow Formation in the "Extreme Ice Secret Technique" and created the "Ice Flame Feathers" that were suitable for the Ice Flame Phoenix to use.

"Ice Flame Feathers" are just like Mu Yang's Ice Flame Arrow Formation. Perhaps the direct attack power is not very strong, but after hitting the target, it can explode into a special ice flame that combines offense and control. From the opponent's perspective, it can be described as extremely disgusting.

Of course, due to the surge in power after the activation of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Shui Bing'er found it difficult to precisely control the power of the Ice Flame Phoenix. After the 'Ice Flame Feathers' were fired, they could not be remotely controlled like the Ice Flame Arrow Formation and the Extreme Ice Arrow Formation.

Mu Yang's ability to control the Ice Flame Arrow Array in his second form, the Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow state, is not because his control over the arrows far surpasses that of Shui Bing'er.

Instead, it is the humanoid form of the Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow. Compared to the beast-shaped Ice Flame Phoenix, although its basic strength is relatively weaker, it can exert more subtle control over the ice flames, which to some extent offsets the problem of reduced control caused by the surge in strength under the Martial Soul Fusion Skill state.

"Fifth Soul Skill: Ice Guardian!"

Faced with the incoming 'Ice Flame Feathers', Shui Yanyu's fifth spirit ring shone brightly, and she immediately activated her defensive spirit skill.

Shui Yanyu knew that once the Ice Flame Phoenix reached the eighth ring and there was no qualitative difference between her and it, the special ice flames it condensed would be enough to freeze her, an 89th-level Soul Douluo.

If she were to be directly touched by the Ice Flame Phoenix's icy flames, she would be instantly frozen. However, with the soul power shield formed by her defensive soul skill, she would at least not be frozen before the shield was broken.

"Ding ding ding ding ding—"

The Ice Flame Feathers moved with incredible speed, covering a hundred meters in the blink of an eye, and rained down on the icy shield that Shui Yanyu had formed on her body, creating a series of impact sounds.

Ice Flame Feathers is a group attack technique. Shui Yanyu is not very big, and the number of Ice Flame Feathers that landed on the Frost Shield was not large, so it was not enough to directly destroy this ten-thousand-year defensive soul skill.

However, this was only the first half of the attack of the Ice Flame Feather technique. Although the Ice Flame Feather failed to penetrate the ice shield's defense, it shattered completely and turned into tiny flames of the technique that adhered to the ice shield.

In an instant, accompanied by a chilling aura, the sound of freezing rang out. The ice shield was covered with a layer of frost, and the ignited ice flames were constantly eroding this seemingly crumbling ice shield.

"Fourth Soul Skill: Power of Frost! First Soul Skill: Feathers of Frost!"

Ignoring the ice flames attached to the icy shield on her body for the time being, Shui Yanyu's fourth and first soul rings flashed, and as her aura surged, more than a dozen ice-blue sparrow feathers shot out.

Compared to the 'Ice Flame Feathers' shot out by the Ice Flame Phoenix, the number of sparrow feathers formed by Shui Yanyu through her first soul skill, Frost Feathers, is undoubtedly much smaller.

After all, it's only the first soul skill, with a lifespan of only about four hundred years, which limits its power.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

The icy blue sparrow feathers shot towards the phoenix with a whooshing sound. The Ice Flame Phoenix flapped its wings, dodging most of the feathers, but one was too late to dodge and hit its left wing.

However, for the Ice Flame Phoenix, this injury was nothing. As its soul power flowed, the wounds left by the sparrow feathers that had been shot at it earlier were quickly healed.

When using a Soul Fusion Technique or a Soul True Body to fight against others, the Soul Master can gain a huge advantage.

Because the Martial Soul Fusion Skill and the Martial Soul True Body are not the flesh and blood of the Soul Master, but are formed by the combination of Martial Soul and Soul Power, as long as they are not directly destroyed, the non-mental injuries they suffer can be quickly recovered by consuming Soul Power. Before the Soul Power is exhausted, they are like cockroaches that are hard to kill.

However, precisely because both are formed from martial souls, if the opponent destroys the martial soul fusion skill or the true form of the martial soul, the soul master will suffer a backlash from the martial soul.

At that time, not only will they suffer severe trauma at the soul level, but most will also completely lose the ability to fight again.

Of course, being able to have your Martial Soul Fusion Skill or Martial Soul True Body destroyed means that your opponent's strength is definitely above your own. Even if you still have the strength to fight after suffering a backlash from your Martial Soul, you cannot reverse the defeat.

"Second Soul Skill: Extreme Cold Freezing Air!"

When her first attack failed, Shui Yanyu launched another. With a flap of her wings and a slight parting of her red lips, a cold, icy blue current swept out rapidly.

Immediately afterwards, taking advantage of the visual obstruction caused by the icy blue cold current, Shui Yanyu's sixth soul ring shone brightly. As her surging soul power flowed, a magnificent icy blue feather, ten feet long, suddenly condensed and shot out towards the Ice Flame Phoenix.

"Oh no, get out of here!"

After Shui Yanyu activated her second soul skill, Extreme Cold Freezing Air, Mu Yang, whose mental strength was not bad, once again sensed a surge of soul power fluctuations emanating from Shui Yanyu's body, and hurriedly reminded Shui Bing'er.

Using the visual obstruction created by the previous soul skill to conceal a killing move is a perfectly normal thing in the world of soul masters.

He was familiar with the effects of Shui Yanyu's various soul skills. Apart from her first soul skill, Frost Feather, only her sixth and eighth soul skills had considerable offensive capabilities.

The eighth soul skill, Extreme Cold Storm, is difficult to activate instantly. Therefore, although Mu Yang did not see it with his own eyes, he was certain that Shui Yanyu activated the sixth soul skill, Extreme Ice Feather, which has extremely strong single-target attack power and should not be taken head-on.
