The students looked at each other, a wave of sighs passing through the crowd.
Even though they already knew Qing Ling's basic information, hearing it again still elicited gasps of amazement.
They couldn't exactly be considered peers, but their ages weren't that different.
Yet, Qing Ling had unleashed a game-changing move the moment she entered the academy, leaving them in awe of her extraordinary talent.
Extraordinary talent is your lie.
As the current leader of Skywater Academy, Shui Binger stepped forward and extended her hand to Qing Ling.
"I'm Shui Binger. Welcome to the academy."
"Hello." Qing Ling reached out and clasped Shui Binger's hand, her gaze sweeping up and down Shui Binger's figure.
She was about one meter and sixty-five centimeters tall, with a well-proportioned figure that was neither overly voluptuous nor overly thin.
Her long, water-blue hair cascaded down her back, framing a fair face with delicate features. At first glance, she wasn't stunningly beautiful, but she was very pleasant to look at.
Qing Ling's eyes lingered for a moment on Shui Binger's chest, then she pouted.
So annoying! Why is everyone bigger than me!
How old am I now? Even if I'm a late bloomer, this is too late!
Qing Ling was utterly dejected.
"Qing Ling, you should know the unspoken rule of Skywater Academy, right?"
Qing Ling nodded, "I know. Let's go together then."
Xue Wu frowned, her arms crossed over her chest, a look of displeasure on her face. "You're underestimating us!"
"Don't underestimate the bond of our team. We're perfectly coordinated, and we once fought a Soul Ancestor to a standstill."
Shui Binger waved her hand, signaling Xue Wu to stop.
"Alright."
"Ah? Sister, are we really going to attack together?" Shui Yue'er asked in surprise.
Shui Binger looked at Qing Ling and slowly began to speak, "She's a forty-three-level Soul Ancestor. Her soul power level is higher than ours. We have no chance of winning one-on-one."
"But since Qing Ling has asked us to attack together, there's no need to be polite. Don't you think so?"
Qing Ling blinked her large, lively eyes, thinking that Shui Binger was very eloquent.
"Yes, so I don't bully you with my strength." Qing Ling didn't care.
She was invincible against those at the same level. She could still fight opponents if they were at the same level. But she would be completely helpless against those one level higher.
Besides, Shui Binger and the others together weren't as strong as the eighteen Soul Ancestors on the Grand Soul Arena.
Perhaps they were outstanding among their peers, but in Qing Ling's eyes, they were all the same.
Nian Chu, the teacher who brought Qing Ling, smartly retreated to the side, giving them space for the match.
"Shui Binger, Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, soul power level twenty-three."
"Xue Wu, Dancing Snow Silk Martial Soul, soul power level twenty-seven."
"Yu Hairou, Coral Barracuda Martial Soul, soul power level twenty-six."
"Shui Yue'er, Martial Soul: Jade Dolphin, Soul Power: Level 22."
"Bai Yun, Martial Soul: White Whale, Soul Power: Level 38!"
Of the dozen or so people present, not many had reached the Soul Elder rank; there were only three. The rest were Soul Grand Masters.
This was also why Qing Ling wanted them to attack together; the gap was too big.
If she fought them one-on-one, it would be like a dimensional strike, leaving them with no sense of accomplishment!
"Chen Qingling, Martial Soul: Bright Goddess Butterfly, Soul Power: Level 43."
As the words fell, Shui Binger and Xue Wu exchanged a glance and immediately summoned their Martial Souls, unleashing the Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Ice and Snow Falling! Facing a strong opponent, there was no need to hold back.
At the same time, the other dozen or so people all utilized the water属性 of their Martial Souls to amplify the power of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Qing Ling's eyes lit up. She hadn't expected to encounter a rare Martial Soul Fusion Skill in this competition!
No wonder they looked so confident; they had something to rely on. It might be tricky for others, but it was no pressure for Qing Ling.
Piercingly cold wind and snowflakes swept in, buffeting Qing Ling, giving her a chilling sensation, and her delicate body couldn't help but shiver.
Glancing at her surroundings, the lake had long since frozen over, and the flowers and grass were all covered in ice and snow.
Qing Ling gasped, rubbing her hands together.
"Hiss… This is the effect caused by an ice-type Martial Soul. Even though I've become a Soul Master, I can still feel the bone-chilling cold."
"Qing Ling, this move of ours is something even a Soul Ancestor wouldn't dare to withstand head-on. You'd best not try to force yourself," Shui Binger reminded.
Chen Qingling gritted her teeth. So what if it was cold? She could handle it!
Back then, when she was still in a thatched hut, she had to endure the cold every winter!
This little bit of cold was nothing!
Chen Qingling made up her mind and, with her Bright Butterfly Blade in hand, charged straight towards the sky.
"Qingling!" Teacher Nian Chu, who was watching the battle, exclaimed in alarm. She hadn't expected Qingling to foolishly go head-to-head.
That attack, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, was something even she, a Soul Emperor, wouldn't dare to face directly, instead choosing to avoid it.
But with Chen Qingling, Teacher Nian Chu wasn't sure how to judge.
Because she was a monster, her strength and abilities were far superior to others of the same rank.
"Good courage!"
"Qing Ling, aren't you afraid of overestimating yourself?"
The Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Ice and Snow Falling, amplified by over a dozen people, was no less powerful than a sixth soul skill.
Chen Qing Ling wouldn't listen to any of it. She felt that her father could break through the two great soul skills of Ju Hua Guan with a single sword strike.
As a daughter, she should be able to break through a soul skill amplified by over a dozen people.
Wasn't this only natural?
With this mindset, she attacked, exuding the domineering aura of a heroine.
Seeing Qing Ling's decisiveness, Shui Binger was slightly stunned, deeply attracted by her unique temperament.
At the same time, she felt a deep sense of inadequacy.
Chen Qing Ling charged forward fearlessly, using the Bright Butterfly Blade in her hand to cut through the Ice and Snow Falling.
Pfft!
More than a dozen people were knocked back, cries of alarm escaping their mouths.
"This… how is this possible!"
"Why is this happening?"
"How… how did she do it?!" Xue Wu's pupils widened, and she shouted in disbelief.
This was their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, created by over a dozen people. Its power was such that even a Soul Emperor wouldn't dare to take it head-on.
Yet, it was broken by Chen Qingling's one Soul Skill!
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that anyone could break a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with a single blow!
"Hoo… hoo…" Chen Qingling gasped heavily, feeling chilled. Her hands were frozen.
"Heh heh heh, I still have the upper hand." She tilted her head at Shui Binger and the others, giving a squinting smile.
This was more or less what Qing Ling had anticipated: her first soul skill breaking through their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Although it was a bit of a struggle, she had managed to break it.
Shui Binger in the air almost blacked out. This wasn't from anger, but because her soul power had been drained, and without the Martial Soul, she couldn't fly anymore.
Seeing Shui Binger falling from the sky, Chen Qing Ling didn't even think twice and flew up, catching the falling Shui Binger.
Their eyes met, and though they didn't say anything, it felt like everything had been said.
The moment they landed, Shui Binger coughed lightly, broke free from Qing Ling's grasp, and retreated.
"Thank you just now, Qing Ling."
"Big sis, are you alright?" Xue Wu stepped forward worriedly, wanting to check on Shui Binger.
