Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 112 Absolute Zero

Both of them are geniuses and both have the ice attribute, so they seem to be very compatible. Just like when they first used the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Wang Qiu'er, they used the Martial Soul Fusion Skill very smoothly.

As if struck by a flash of inspiration or a sudden burst of genius, the two spoke in unison, as if on cue: "Martial Soul Fusion Technique, Absolute Zero."

A white ball of light appeared in front of the two of them, gradually expanding and eventually transforming into a dazzling white light that rushed towards Ma Xiaotao.

The white light travels at extremely high speeds, freezing the air instantly wherever it passes.

"Defend!" Seeing the white light rushing towards her and feeling the biting cold, Ma Xiaotao dared not be careless and quickly reminded her partner.

Gongyang Mo instantly unleashed several soul skills to amplify his teammates. Ma Xiaotao used her sixth soul skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower, once again. Fireballs transformed into phoenixes and rushed towards the white light, but they did not intercept it at all. The white light swept past, and the Phoenix Meteor Shower was frozen into ice sculptures. One by one, the fiery phoenixes were frozen into ice phoenixes, solidified in the air.

Xu Sanshi only had time to raise the Xuanming Turtle Shield to block the white light. When the white light collided with the Xuanming Turtle Shield, it instantly unleashed an astonishing chill, and a cloud of icy mist spread out.

It covered Ma Xiaotao's side.

Dai Yueheng and the others stopped in their tracks, staring dumbfounded at the icy mist in front of them, and then turned to look at Ling Luochen, who was nestled against Ji Lin.

Soon, the icy mist dissipated, revealing a massive iceberg that emanated wisps of cold air.

Ma Xiaotao and her six companions remained frozen motionless inside the iceberg, with Xu Sanshi at the very front.

Elder Xuan entered the arena, looked at the iceberg, his lips twitched, and said to Ji Lin and Ling Luochen, "Melt the ice, and you've won this match."

Wang Dong'er murmured, her face full of confusion, "That's... how did we win?"

Dai Yueheng and the others were also stunned. They did not expect that Ji Lin and Ling Luochen would have a martial soul fusion skill, and that it was so strong that it instantly froze Ma Xiaotao and the other seven into icebergs.

They haven't even done anything yet, and they've already won!

Soon, Ji Lin and Ling Luochen controlled the iceberg to melt, releasing Ma Xiaotao and the other six. The two quickly stepped forward to expel the cold from the seven people's bodies to prevent any lasting effects.

As Ji Lin dispelled the chill from Ma Xiaotao, Ma Xiaotao grabbed Ji Lin's collar and said fiercely, "You brat, when did you and that woman Ling Luochen develop a martial soul fusion skill?"

When it came to Ling Luochen, her mortal enemy, she couldn't maintain her gentle demeanor in front of Ji Lin.

Wang Qiu'er also came to Ji Lin's side, looking at him coldly and said, "I want to know too."

"Achoo!" Xiao Xiao sneezed and huddled in Wang Dong'er's arms, shivering.

But she didn't forget to watch Ji Lin's downfall. She'd actually frozen her like this. She was determined to get her hands on this juicy gossip about the class monitor.

Ji Lin glanced at Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er, who were watching the show with amusement, then looked at Ma Xiaotao and Wang Qiu'er and explained with a wry smile, "We only just discovered that we have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Originally, I just wanted to use Ultimate Conversion to help Sister Luo Chen transform her Martial Soul into Ultimate Ice, but I didn't expect that as soon as my soul power entered Sister Luo Chen's body, it fused with her soul power. That's when we discovered that we have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

Ma Xiaotao scoffed, "Didn't you use the Ultimate Conversion on me before? Why don't we have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill? It has to be Ling Luochen."

Ji Lin said helplessly, "The matter of Martial Soul Fusion Skills is entirely dependent on fate; I can't control it!"

Soon, the cold air in the bodies of the seven people was expelled, and apart from shivering from the cold, they were not seriously injured.

Elder Xuan approached the seven people and said, "Very good, you are all in high spirits. You have lost this match. Come on, accept your loss and say those words."

Ma Xiaotao glared at Ji Lin, her body trembling slightly, and gritted her teeth, saying, "I'm a pig."

Ji Lin shrugged helplessly, indicating that he was also helpless.

Seeing that Ma Xiaotao had spoken, the others helplessly chimed in, "I'm a pig."

Xiao Xiao didn't seem to care at all. While she was talking, she even made a face to provoke Wang Dong'er, which made Wang Dong'er's small chest heave up and down in anger.

Elder Xuan watched all this with a smile, his mischievous amusement satisfied. Only Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er present hadn't said those words.

Next, Elder Xuan broke up the teams again, allowing the two teams to spar once more, and forbade Ji Lin, Wang Qiu'er, and Ling Luochen from using their Martial Soul Fusion Techniques.

Time passed as the team worked together to gel.

A day passed quickly.

Everyone returned to their dormitories to pack their things, preparing to head to Xingluo City for the competition the next day.

As Ji Lin predicted, Wang Qiu'er returned to her dormitory tonight, clearly angry.

But Ji Lin knew that as long as he coaxed her properly tomorrow, Wang Qiu'er's anger would soon subside.

Silent all night.

At dawn, a group of people slowly walked out of the main gate of Shrek Academy, which was shrouded in a layer of morning mist.

It consists of the seven main players and seven reserve players of the Shrek team.

Leading the team was Elder Xuan and Wang Yan, the homeroom teacher of Ji Lin and others.

A dozen or so people walked together in twos and threes. Old Master Xuan was still dressed the same as before: messy hair, a gourd of wine, and chicken legs. His food always seemed to revolve around chicken legs and chicken wings, and he never seemed to get tired of them.

The group moved at a leisurely pace, giving off a relaxed and carefree feeling.

After walking for a while, Elder Xuan suddenly stopped.

Ji Lin and the others who were following behind also stopped and looked at Elder Xuan.

Elder Xuan looked at the seven members of the reserve team and said in a deep voice, "We're not far from the academy, so I have some things to say beforehand. You seven little ones in the reserve team, listen carefully. This will determine your future direction at the academy."

Seeing Elder Xuan's serious expression, Bei Bei and the others felt a chill in their hearts and focused their attention on him.

The seven people in the inner courtyard and Wang Yan all seemed to understand what Elder Xuan was going to say, and their expressions were solemn.

Elder Xuan said, "Our Shrek Academy has a history of over ten thousand years. Generally speaking, a powerful Soul Master can live for at least two hundred years, or even longer. And almost every year, students from the academy pass the examinations to enter the inner court. However, currently, there are less than one hundred inner court disciples remaining in the academy. Do you know why?"

Wang Dong'er said, "Because the seniors have all graduated and left."

Elder Xuan shook his head and said, "You're right about part of it. It's true that some inner court disciples left the academy after graduation. But I'm talking about another group—those disciples who didn't graduate from the academy."

At this point, Elder Xuan's voice clearly carried a hint of sorrow. "They were all good children. Although they didn't truly graduate, their names will always be on the academy's roster. They took the academy's ideals as their own. It wasn't that they lacked the ability to graduate; rather, they died fighting for the academy's ideals."
