—------------------—
Teacher Sun was forced to retreat repeatedly by the Bird King, with several new wounds on his body. He shouted at Xue Tianxing and Shui Binger:
"Hurry up and find a way to run! As long as you leave and are not dragged down, I have a way to escape!"
Shui Bing'er's eyes instantly turned red. She knew Teacher Sun too well - the so-called "method" was just an excuse to comfort her. Teacher Sun clearly wanted to stay behind to cover her retreat and use his own life to buy her time to escape.
Shui Bing'er gritted her teeth, activated her soul power, and wanted to rush forward to fight alongside Teacher Sun.
But Xue Tianxing didn't care about Teacher Sun's life or death at all. In his opinion, as long as Shui Bing'er was safe, it was enough.
Xue Tianxing grabbed Shui Binger's wrist and said in a deep voice:
"Don't just stand there! Go!"
Just as Xue Tianxing grabbed Shui Bing'er's wrist, activated his soul power and prepared to activate "Xuanhe Jiutianxiang" to take her away, and Shui Bing'er was trying her best to break free and rush to the battlefield, the soul power in their palms suddenly collided - Xue Tianxing's soul power and Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix soul power, which originated from the same source, seemed to have found a matching gear, and quickly merged along the clasped palms and entangled together in an instant.
"Buzz—" A brilliant blue-white light suddenly burst out from around the two of them, completely enveloping them.
Immediately afterwards, two huge phantoms of ice phoenixes rose into the sky from the light, each with a wingspan of several feet, and their icy feathers shone with a cold glow in the light.
The two ice phoenixes snuggled up to each other and circled in the air. Their postures were elegant but carried a heart-pounding pressure, like a dance made of ice and snow, which instantly attracted Teacher Sun's attention.
"This is... a martial soul fusion technique?!"
Xue Tianxing and Shui Bing'er both widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief; Teacher Sun, who was struggling with the Snow Wind Bird King, also suddenly stopped and looked at the two huge ice phoenixes in the sky, so shocked that he forgot to move.
At this critical moment, Xue Tianxing had no time to think about it, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes - since the martial soul fusion technique has been triggered, it is better to solve the crisis in front of him directly!
Xue Tianxing thought about it and shouted at the flock of snowflakes swarming over:
"Soul Fusion Technique—Frost Sky Phoenix Dance!"
The two ice phoenixes in the sky seemed to understand his instructions. They entangled with each other and dived down, and a terrifying cold current burst out as they flew.
Wherever the cold current passed, the air instantly froze into ice, and even the wind and snow stagnated.
The wind and snow birds at the front didn't even have time to scream before they were frozen into crystal ice sculptures; the birds at the back wanted to turn around and escape, but were instantly caught up by the cold current, and each of them was as if the pause button was pressed, frozen stiffly in place.
The thousand-year-old wind and snow bird king sensed the danger and flapped its wings desperately to try to break through the cold current, but its strength was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of the martial soul fusion technique. It only lasted for a moment before being wrapped by the cold current and turned into a huge ice sculpture, falling to the ground with a loud bang.
The whole process took only a moment, and the originally ferocious flock of birds was completely wiped out, leaving only ice sculptures on the ground shining coldly in the sunlight.
The power of this attack is comparable to the full-strength attack of a Soul Saint of the Assault System!
Xue Tianxing, Shui Bing'er and Teacher Sun were all stunned. They stood there for a long time without saying a word, leaving only the sound of the whistling wind and snow.
After a moment, Xue Tianxing withdrew his soul power, and the martial soul fusion technique was slowly released. The shadow of the ice phoenix in the air gradually dissipated, and the blue-white light also faded away.
Shui Bing'er's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground because of the excessive consumption of soul power - the soul fusion technique consumed far more soul power than ordinary soul skills. With her soul power of level 30, it was extremely difficult for her to withstand this attack.
Teacher Sun quickly stepped forward to support Shui Bing'er, with a smile of survival on his face. Then he turned to look at Xue Tianxing. In addition to gratitude, his eyes also contained a hint of inquiry and profound meaning.
She had lived for most of her life and had seen and read information about martial soul fusion techniques. She knew that when there were martial soul fusion techniques between people of the opposite sex, they were mostly triggered by brothers and sisters, or extremely close partners. It was unheard of that a martial soul fusion technique could be triggered between people who met for the first time and had no relationship at all, like Xue Tianxing and Shui Bing'er.
She knew very well that when a non-relative man and woman triggered the martial soul fusion technique, it often meant that the two had a destiny, and most of them would choose to be together in the end. The martial soul fusion technique was not only powerful, but it could also achieve twice the result with half the effort when the two practiced together.
Shui Bing'er leaned on Teacher Sun, breathing heavily, and followed her gaze to look at Xue Tianxing, her cheeks instantly turning red.
Shui Bing'er also remembered that when she was a child, after she and her sister Shui Yue'er activated the martial soul fusion technique, her mother smiled and said to her:
"Bing'er, if you and that boy can also trigger the martial soul fusion technique in the future, then it will be destined. If you are together, not only will your training speed be accelerated, but the power of the martial soul fusion technique will also become stronger and stronger."
At that time, she just thought her mother was joking, but now, looking at Xue Tianxing, who was a head shorter than her but very powerful, and remembering the scene of their souls blending and the ice phoenix dancing together, her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, and even her ears were flushed. She subconsciously lowered her head, not daring to look at Xue Tianxing again.
Xue Tianxing looked at Shui Bing'er's flushed cheeks and scratched his head uncomfortably - he had not expected that he would trigger a martial soul fusion technique with Shui Bing'er, whom he met for the first time, and the power was so astonishing.
Looking at the snowbirds frozen into ice sculptures all over the ground, a flash of understanding flashed in Teacher Sun's eyes, and he immediately said to Shui Bing'er:
"Bing'er, now that the crisis is over, there are ready-made spirit beasts here. Pick a snowflake bird of the right age and absorb it as your third spirit ring. I'll be here to protect you."
Shui Bing'er's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly:
"Okay! Thank you, Teacher Sun!"
She had already reached level 30 and was worried about not being able to find a suitable spirit ring. Now, these wind and snow birds are all of ice attribute, which is very compatible with her martial spirit. It is simply a godsend.
Shui Bing'er carefully selected from the bird ice sculptures, and finally her eyes fell on a medium-sized thousand-year-old wind and snow bird with the most stable soul power fluctuations. This bird was about 1,500 years old, which was just right for her who had just broken through to level 30. Her potential would not be affected by its young age, nor would it be difficult to absorb because of its old age.
Shui Bing'er raised her hand and condensed a strand of ice-attributed soul power, then gently tapped it on the ice sculpture. The ice layer shattered instantly. Although the wind and snow bird still had a breath, it was no longer able to struggle, and its life was instantly ended by Shui Bing'er's soul power.
Afterwards, Shui Bing'er sat down cross-legged, took a deep breath, and began to calm the restless soul power in her body.
She guided the Snowflake's spirit ring to slowly merge into her body. The spirit ring swirled around her body, emitting a faint blue light, resonating strongly with her Ice Phoenix spirit.
Teacher Sun stood beside her, scanning the surroundings vigilantly, fully protecting her while she absorbed the spirit ring.
