Battle Through the Heavens: Ice Emperor Begins with the Reversal of the Burning Blade

The young leader was basking in self-satisfaction, already fantasizing about his glorious days at the academy, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.

But then, a chilling coldness interrupted his reverie, making him shiver.

"Why is it suddenly so cold... Oh no!"

He wanted to speak up to warn them, but instead he heard the sound of ice breaking, and he couldn't react at all.

Click! Click!

"Ice Explosion! Explode!" Xiao Yao's Earth-rank battle technique had already been activated!

bang bang bang...

One by one, the ten people slowly collapsed, convulsing and trembling on the ground.

Only the eldest brother could still sit up, albeit with difficulty.

Once Xiao Yao saw that the matter was settled, he revealed himself and began to harvest their fire energy.

"You! You! Who... are you?" Although the young leader did not collapse immediately, the chill in his body made his lips tremble and his voice stiff.

Xiao Yao ignored him and quickly pulled out a Crimson Fire Crystal Card from his body, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Eighty-seven! Thanks, boss!" Xiao Yao's hands moved very quickly as he connected his crystal card with the other's. The value of the Crimson Fire Crystal Card instantly dropped to two.

When the boss saw the Purple Fire Crystal Card in Xiao Yao's hand, his eyes widened in shock!

"You... are... that S-level prodigy! Damn it! What bad luck!"

"You'll be able to move again in a little while. I didn't hit you hard; you'll be fine in a few days."

"You! You! Despicable!"

"Hehe! Same here..."

Xiao Yao said no more. Seeing that the collection of grapes and Qing'er had been completed, he immediately withdrew.

"Walk!"

Xiao Yao only used a low-level Earth-rank combat skill to deal with these guys, and he has also basically mastered the Ice Explosion Technique, so at least he no longer needs to indiscriminately bombard friend and foe.

Grape and Qing'er suffered a lot these past three days, but fortunately he was able to control his strength each time he practiced, so he didn't hurt them.

"How much fire energy did you obtain?" Xiao Yao asked, stopping first after a short run.

"I have thirty-two fire powers here."

"I have forty fire powers here."

"I just got 87, let's split it!"

"No! No! I'm more than satisfied with what I have, and besides, I still owe you gold coins, so let's call it even..."

"There's no need to keep bringing up that little bit of money. Grape already said we don't need to pay it back. Besides, we're comrades in arms now, so you have to listen to me!"

"Well... okay then!"

Xiao Yao took the cards from their hands and started dividing up the spoils of war!

Grape took the Fire Energy Crystal Card, looked at the numbers, but didn't feel anything. He just played with it in his hand.

Jiang Qing'er secretly glanced at Xiao Yao, a strange emotion flickering in her heart: "He's not that heartless... so why is he always so cold..."

Xiao Yao, of course, had no idea what the two women were thinking. He was cautiously observing his surroundings, looking for a safe place to stay.

"There are only three days left until the final deadline, and this is the most difficult part. If we run into the academy's team, things will be bad."

In that brief moment of reflection, the worst-case scenario unfolded.

"You three! Hand over the fire energy obediently, or you'll suffer physical pain."

A five-person team dressed in Canaan Academy uniforms suddenly landed about twenty meters ahead. The leader smirked and said with a mocking smile.

"Battle Master! Oh no! This is bad!" Xiao Yao immediately felt a sense of unease.

With one Dou Shi and four Nine-Star Dou Zhe, it would be difficult for them to escape.

"Boss! Looks like he has at least an S-rank talent. We've finally caught a fat one! Haha!"

"Nonsense! I paid a high price to secure an early entry spot, so of course I have to make as much profit as possible, otherwise I'll lose a fortune."

Xiao Yao assumed a defensive stance, while whispering instructions: "In a moment! I'll try to stall them and see if we can escape. If we're captured, don't resist; hand over your fire energy and conserve your strength."

"I just got my spoils and I have to give them away, I'm so unhappy!" Grape said, somewhat reluctantly.

"What time is it? You're still talking about this? Five against three, and such a big difference in strength. If we can hold off these four, we might still have a chance. Listen to me, get ready." Xiao Yao didn't continue. The opposing team had the advantage of numbers. If it were a one-on-one fight, even a one-star Dou Shi could catch them off guard. It's not like they haven't fought before.

However, there were five people on the other side, and it would be too difficult for him to escape with only two people. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yao's casual remark brought a pleasant surprise.

"Brother! I can hold off all four of them! But only for a few breaths!" Grape suddenly said.

"Can you do it?" Xiao Yao asked, surprised but also doubtful.

"Yes! I have a secret method!" Grape nodded with great certainty.

"Another secret technique?" Xiao Yao believed her somewhat after hearing her say that, since Grape's family's secret techniques were quite powerful.

"Alright! Let's give it a try! If it doesn't work, do as I say: surrender! Engage in firefight!"

"Qing'er, I'll leave the cleanup to you." Xiao Yao quickly finished making the arrangements.

"Hmm!" Qing'er nodded nervously, without saying anything more.

Seeing Qing'er respond, Xiao Yao took out a Qi-restoring pill and put it in his mouth.

At this point, the enemy also lost patience.

The team leader said in a deep voice, "It seems you won't listen to advice and insist on suffering a bit. Let's loosen up their muscles so they won't cause trouble at the academy!"

Brush brush!

The four teammates around them moved in unison, about to surround them in an instant.

"Grapes!" Xiao Yao shouted!

Grape had already locked onto the four attackers, and upon hearing Xiao Yao's shout, immediately launched an attack.

Suddenly, the grape's eyes turned green and emitted a faint glow.

"Nine-Star Dou Zhe! Be careful!" The captain, who was leading the group, immediately sensed Grape's strength and warned him, but he wasn't worried. He had four Nine-Star Dou Zhes under his command.

The four men also became alert, noticing that the little girl's eyes were glowing green.

Then he stumbled, as if he was about to lose his balance.

Seeing that the grapes had already made their move, Xiao Yao immediately unleashed his killing move.

Earth-Rank Combat Technique: Snow Pavilion Three Styles! First Style: Treading on Snow Without Leaving a Trace!

Xiao Yao shot out like a sharp sword, rushing towards the four people coming towards him. He met them in an instant, but he paid no attention to the four nine-star Dou Zhe who were about to pass by.

Instead, their target was the captain, a one-star Dou Shi!

Since he has chosen to believe in grapes, then he should just do his job well!

The Xuanzhong Ruler in his right hand was summoned and raised above his head, temporarily used as a sword.

In the blink of an eye, in just two breaths, Xiao Yao darted to the squad leader's side!

"Two nine-star Dou Zhe? That's fast! Are they walking right into a trap? Hehe!"

"Fighting Spirit Gauze Robe!"

The movement technique attached to the Earth-rank combat skill was incredibly fast, forcing him to hastily summon his Battle Qi Robe for defense. Although somewhat panicked, he immediately activated his combat skill to counterattack.

"Advanced Xuan-rank Battle Skill: Golden Mountain Lean!"

A protective shield of battle aura formed just as the giant ruler swept in. This battle technique was a defensive technique passed down in his family, and none of his peers in the academy could do anything about it.

A slight smile unconsciously crept onto his lips. He was already preparing his next fighting technique to counterattack, determined to teach this brat a lesson.

But at the same time, he also noticed something strange: his four subordinates ignored Xiao Yao and fell straight to the ground, motionless!

"Something's wrong!" The captain realized something was amiss and a bad feeling rose in his heart.

The next instant, his expression froze, his vision went black, and he flew backward. His arm felt cold and numb, and his brain throbbed with pain, as if he had been hit by something. Even his fighting skills were affected and dispelled.

"You!! Earth-rank combat skill!!" The captain stared in disbelief at the figure disappearing from sight, muttering to himself.
