Douluo Continent: Reversing Yin and Yang, the Haotian Palace and the Angel Sect

Hearing this teasing remark, Niu Lanjun, who had just maintained the demeanor of a high monk, scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

Seeing his companion's embarrassed look, Qian San took half a step forward and took over the conversation.

"Friends from Tianshui University, please don't misunderstand."

"My teammate didn't actually become a monk. It's just that his martial soul, the Water Phoenix, is special."

Under the subtle influence of this martial spirit, his emotions and desires were suppressed, and he became almost like a monk. Because of his detached and ascetic personality and behavior, people often jokingly referred to him as a monk, and he himself called himself a "little monk."

Upon hearing this explanation, the girls from Tianshui Academy finally understood.

Shui Bing'er re-examined Niu Lanjun in front of her.

She didn't have the look that worldly men often have when they see female students from Tianshui College.

Niu Lanjun's eyes always conveyed a sense of detachment, as if he had seen through the illusions of the world.

Shui Bing'er breathed a sigh of relief. The Martial Soul Fusion Skill was not just a simple superposition of two soul powers, but also a fusion and collision of two souls.

If the other party is a man with malicious intentions, no matter how high the compatibility of her martial soul is, Shui Bing'er will definitely refuse.

Shui Yue'er noticed the hesitation and contemplation in Shui Bing'er's eyes.

As the younger sister, she knew her older sister's temperament well. The Martial Soul Fusion Skill was no small matter, and even if the other party was a blockhead with a "calm and collected" mind, she couldn't make a hasty decision based on just a few words.

Shui Yue'er's eyes darted around, and she stepped out from behind Shui Bing'er, blocking the way between the two teams.

"Hey, you little monk, and the rest of your Klein team." Shui Yue'er raised her chin.

"You want to use your Martial Soul Fusion Technique with my sister? Talk is cheap. Prove you're qualified, show us your strength first!"

Let's have a real, hard-fought battle here, and we'll talk about everything else after we win!

Shui Bing'er frowned slightly, feeling a bit troubled by her younger sister's impolite behavior.

She strode forward and forcefully pulled Shuiyue'er behind her, then looked apologetically at the other side.

"I'm sorry, Yue'er has been spoiled since childhood. She's impulsive and immature, and doesn't know how to speak properly." Shui Bing'er bowed slightly.

"I hope the people of Clay will be understanding and not hold it against her."

Qian San remained unfazed by Shui Yue'er's provocation. He took a step forward.

"Captain Shui is too kind. In the world of Soul Masters, those who are capable come first, and strength is the most reliable stepping stone."

"We've come here today to exchange ideas and skills. Since your sister is in such a good mood, our Kresh team is naturally happy to oblige."

"What spirit!"

Accompanied by a pleasant voice, Shui Lanxin, the dean of Tianshui Academy, and Fu Lanya walked over side by side. The two had clearly been paying attention to the movements of this group of young people.

Both Shui Lanxin and Fu Lanya heard the conversation about "Soul Fusion Skill" very clearly.

This was definitely an unexpected gain for both academies.

Both of them wanted to see what level the other side was at.

Shui Lanxin walked to the middle of the two teams, her gaze sweeping around gently: "Since everyone here is a talented young person, then Mr. Fu and I will jointly serve as referees for this sparring match. Let's stop when we've made our point, and not let it spoil the atmosphere."

Franya nodded in agreement and retreated to the edge of the training field.

On the vast training field, the two teams quickly spread out their formations, each occupying half of the field.

Both sides introduced themselves in turn, and then the battle was about to break out.

"Both sides, prepare." Shui Lanxin stood on the high platform, then waved her right hand down.

"The match begins!"

With that command, the entire training ground was instantly set ablaze.

"Buzz—!"

The dazzling spirit rings lit up simultaneously at both ends of the arena.

However, what shocked the Tianshui Academy students was the oppressive feeling brought about by the opposing Klein team when they released their martial souls normally.

Five spirit rings rose simultaneously beneath Qian San and Xiao Qing's feet!

Lightning crackled around Xiaoqing, and her five spirit rings pulsed rhythmically.

As for the team leader, Qian San's soul ring configuration was even more surprising—yellow, yellow, purple, black, black!

The fourth ring for eternity!

However, what surprised the Tianshui Academy members even more was that after Qian San revealed his spirit ring, he did not immediately release the liquid metal armor to cover the entire team as the intelligence had indicated.

Qian San subtly took a half step back, giving the core position at the very front to Niu Lanjun.

Niu Lanjun clasped his hands together and lowered his eyes slightly.

Three spirit rings, one yellow, one yellow, and one purple, rose from beneath his feet.

"Second Soul Skill, Thousand Waves of Benevolent Water Formation!"

The spirit rings beneath his feet shone brightly, and the illusory image of the benevolent water phoenix above his head spread its wings.

Niu Lanjun gently slapped the ground with his palm.

The next instant, the ground beneath the feet of the Tianshui Academy students transformed into a swampy expanse of water!

The water surged far and wide, engulfing most of the Tianshui Academy's formation. The dense, viscous water coiled around the ankles of the Tianshui team members.

"Oh no! My legs are restricted!" Shui Yue'er exclaimed. She wanted to use her speed to break free, but she found that as soon as she exerted force, her legs felt like they were stuck in mud, and her movements became sluggish.

The other members of the Tianshui team also changed color and immediately activated their respective ice and water attribute soul skills, trying to break free from the strange water waves.

However, no matter how hard they struggled, the water would dissipate their strength and instead tighten its grip.

"Don't panic, hold your formation!"

Shui Bing'er's calm voice rang out from the back of the group.

"First Soul Skill, Ice Seal!"

Shui Bing'er raised her right hand, her slender fingers pointing towards the swampy water ahead.

Several blocks of solid ice formed a suitable place for the group to stand.

"Counterattack!"

A barrage of ice spikes, ice arrows, and sharp ice blades rained down on the Kresh team's formation like a storm.

Faced with this saturation attack, Niu Lanjun, standing at the forefront, remained unfazed.

"Phoenix Ripples!"

Niu Lanjun slowly drew an arc in front of his chest with both hands.

The water beneath his feet instantly surged back, transforming into a massive water curtain in front of the Kresh team.

"Bang bang bang bang—!"

Dense icicles and ice arrows pounded against this curtain of water.

However, the water curtain was not broken.

The sharpness of ice vanishes like mud into the sea when it touches this gentle flow of water. The all-encompassing nature of water is amplified, and every attack is skillfully neutralized by the water's flow.

However, the attacks from Tianshui Academy were too dense. More than a dozen tricky ice blades still managed to bypass the edge of the water curtain's defenses and head straight for the support classes in the back row of Klein.

Just then, Qian San made his move from behind.
