Shui Bing'er could clearly feel a sword gleam in front of her, her face a little pale, and she smiled helplessly: "I lost."
Immediately, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu both released their Spirit Fusion Skill, their faces lacking much color, especially Shui Bing'er.
She could say that she had tried her best in this match, but unfortunately, she was still defeated by Xiao Tian's single sword strike.
Shui Bing'er smiled at Xiao Tian: "What is the name of that move of yours?
When it was unleashed, it had the might of a thousand armies and ten thousand horses, and then it actually materialized.
First, it was a dragon and a snake, and then it seemed like nine phoenixes, and the sound it made was so realistic, just like the real thing.
If I didn't know that your Spirit was a sword, I would have thought those dragons, snakes, and phoenixes were your Spirit."
"West Chu Sword Song!"
Xiao Tian smiled faintly: "You are also very powerful.
The power of the attributes possessed by your Ice PhoenixSpirit is the most powerful I have seen so far.
I hope you can control this ice power better in the future.
If you have any spare energy during your cultivation, you might as well develop some ways to play with ice in your daily life.
Ice can transform into myriad forms."
With that, Xiao Tian looked at the Host beside him and said, "Host, you can announce the results now."
"Ah? Oh, oh, let us congratulate the Heaven Dou Royal Team for winning today's match.
Next, please rest for half an hour, so we can re-arrange the competition venue."
As Xiao Tian walked off the stage, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and the others also came over, their faces filled with joy: "Brother (Xiao Tian), that sword technique of yours just now was not only powerful but also so cool!"
Ning Rongrong continued, "Yes, I just realized that when sword techniques reach a certain level, they can actually materialize into various forms.
It's truly eye-opening."
Meanwhile, Shui Bing'er stood rooted to the spot, carefully pondering the meaning of Xiao Tian's words just now.
Was he suggesting that she could try to create her own Spirit Ability?
Hmm… No, if that were the case, he wouldn't have said he hoped she could control this ice power better in the future.
Immediately, Shui Bing'er thought of the things Xiao Tian materialized when he used West Chu Sword Song, and then she thought of her own ice.
Ice can transform into myriad forms.
Ice swords, ice spears, ice shields... and even various oddly shaped ice beasts.
And ice itself is formed when water reaches a certain temperature; it is an alteration of water.
If she could transform her ice into water, then it would be different again.
Gradually, Shui Bing'er seemed to somewhat understand what Xiao Tian meant by form transformation, but then she became distressed.
She understood it, but achieving it would be incredibly difficult.
If she could freely control the various forms of ice, then what Spirit Ability would she need?
"Bing'er... Bing'er!" Xue Wu called out several times from the side.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Shui Bing'er finally came back to her senses.
Xue Wu looked at Shui Bing'er with some concern and said, "Bing'er, are you perhaps a bit disoriented from excessive spirit power consumption? We need to go down."
Saying that, Xue Wu took Shui Bing'er's arm, and the two sisters supported each other as they walked towards the waiting area.
On the other side.
Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu and the others returned to the audience seats, and he had already seen Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin arrive earlier.
He greeted them very politely: "Uncle Ning, Grandpa Sword, you've arrived."
Ning Fengzhi smiled and nodded, while Chen Xin, who was beside him, was not as calm.
He smiled wryly and said, "Xiao Tian, you've surprised me again today.
Now, besides Domain and the unity of man and sword, your sword dao realm has already far surpassed mine."
As Chen Xin said this, Ning Fengzhi, who was beside him, also found it difficult to maintain the smile on his face, his eyes showing surprise: "Uncle Sword, is what you said true?"
Chen Xin also nodded with great certainty: "Yes, my feeling won't be wrong.
After Xiao Tian's strength reaches Spirit Saint, he should be able to comprehend his own sword Domain without any surprises.
And after that, reaching the unity of man and sword will be an easy matter, after all, Xiao Tian's Spirit is quite unique."
Since Sword Dao Chenxin said so, it meant that Xiao Tian's sword dao talent had indeed completely surpassed his.
The key point was that Xiao Tian was only fourteen years old now, and merely a Spirit Emperor, yet his sword dao realm had already made Chen Xin feel inferior.
The reason Chen Xin was so certain was from the sword move Xiao Tian had just displayed.
He could also materialize sword qi, but it was limited to condensing qi into a sword, while Xiao Tian materialized it into various Spirit Beasts, and they were so realistic, as if they truly possessed independent consciousness.
At this moment, Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Tian with some curiosity and said, "Brother, what did you mean by those words you said to Shui Bing'er just now?
Didn't you advise against creating Spirit Abilities too early? This seems a bit contradictory to what you told Feng Xiaotian."
Xiao Wu's words also piqued the curiosity of Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others, and everyone's gaze turned towards him.
Xiao Tian could only explain: "There's still a bit of a difference.
I didn't mean for Shui Bing'er to create her own Spirit Ability right now.
I just hoped that in her spare time from cultivation, she could, with a playful mindset, transform ice into various shapes, and even change its original form, turning ice into water."
"Just now, I don't know if you felt it, but after Shui Bing'er started attacking with her Ice Phoenix, the ice attribute on the field became extremely violent, almost getting out of Shui Bing'er's control.
If she can understand what I mean and use this as practice, her control will have a qualitative improvement."
"And when she can easily and freely control her own ice power, then creating her own Spirit Ability will be effortless, won't it?
Ice can transform into myriad forms.
She can use ice to condense weapons for close combat, or unleash explosive long-range attacks.
As long as she is willing and strong enough, anything is possible."
"Of course, how far she can go in the future depends on her.
As for what you said about comparing Shui Bing'er and Feng Xiaotian, I can only say that Shui Bing'er is far superior to Feng Xiaotian not only in cultivation talent but also in comprehension."
Feng Xiaotian:
One must know that Shui Bing'er is only sixteen years old now, with a top-tier Ice PhoenixSpirit at forty-five ranks, and she hasn't consumed any immortal-grade medicinal herbs.
She is miles ahead of Feng Xiaotian.
It's just that she is in Tianshui Academy.
If she had received more resources and training from Spirit Hall since childhood, then under the same age conditions, Shui Bing'er should surpass the Golden Generation.
With her talent, she might even have a chance to gain the attention of that person in the Hall of Offerings?
Xiao Wu and the others looked at Xiao Tian suspiciously: "You couldn't be…"
The few of them blinked at Xiao Tian, letting him figure it out himself.
