So that's it!"
Everyone finally understood.
If Ling Luochen's ice could evolve into an extreme attribute.....and she was a control-type soul master...the boost to a team would be terrifying.
Su Wen might look like a "pendant,"
but he was the deciding factor.
Because wherever he went, Extreme Ice would suppress all ordinary ice attributes.
One shift—and the balance of victory would flip instantly.
"Ice Staff!"
"Ice Armor!"
Two yellow soul rings rose.
Ling Luochen's eyes shone.
An Extreme Attribute Experience Card.
Even if it lasted only minutes.....it felt incredible.
She could clearly sense how her most basic skills were amplified three or fourfold.
A qualitative leap.
"Hahaha! Sorry about this, Xiao Tao-jie!"
Encased in ice armor, Yao Haoxuan's body swelled like a frozen boulder as he charged straight at Ma Xiaotao.
In the past, he had to avoid her flames.
Now?
With Extreme Ice...he countered her.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
"Damn it!"
Ma Xiaotao roared.
Since when did every random nobody dare challenge her?!
"Fifth Soul Skill...
Phoenix Piercing the Clouds!"
A pitch-black soul ring surged.
Space itself rippled.
Flames compressed and formed a massive Phoenix phantom three to four meters tall.
Ma Xiaotao's eyes locked onto Yao Haoxuan.
"Die for me!"
"Are you insane?! This is practice!!"
Yao Haoxuan turned pale, desperately retreating.
Her fifth soul skill was practically a full-power strike.
Even with Extreme Ice armor, he wouldn't survive that head-on!
No more messing around!
Boom—!
Smoke and dust slowly dispersed.
Yan Shaozhe was holding a thin, unfortunate-looking male student by the collar. He shot Ma Xiaotao an annoyed glance.
"Watch your strength. Don't hit so hard."
"Oh."
Ma Xiaotao crossed her arms, chin lifted proudly, eyes fixed provocatively on Ling Luochen across the arena.
Yao Haoxuan was eliminated.
With that, the balance of power shifted. Ling Luochen and Su Wen's side.....six against seven.....was ultimately overwhelmed and defeated.
The instant the result was announced, Ma Xiaotao wasted no time. She grabbed Su Wen and dragged him away.
"This round, he's on our team!"
The second match began half an hour later.
Everyone adjusted their condition to peak before the next bout started.
Su Wen's Extreme Ice suppressed Ling Luochen so completely that she could barely exert herself.
This kind of attribute suppression was almost like bloodline pressure.
No wonder Ling Luochen was so fixated on him.
It was like tasting an irresistible delicacy.....once experienced, it was impossible to forget.
Even Ling Luochen's ice-based attacks were quickly neutralized by Su Wen. Despite a twenty-level gap, he still managed to create such an advantage.
That alone spoke volumes about how terrifying Extreme Attributes truly were.
However, the flaw was just as obvious.
Ice Sovereign only possessed one skill—Ice Domain.
Once activated, it did not discriminate between allies and enemies.
The entire arena slowed to about seventy-five percent speed.
Even Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix flames weakened slightly.
Still, Su Wen fulfilled his purpose perfectly.
A one-for-one trade.
As long as Ling Luochen was suppressed, the opposing control-type soul master lost her greatest advantage.
As for Wind Blade, Su Wen never used it.
In a battlefield of Soul Kings and Soul Emperors, ordinary-attribute skills were meaningless....especially when he lagged behind by nearly twenty levels.
But once he advanced and Gale underwent super evolution, that might change.
Without the Ling Luochen–Su Wen combination on the opposing side, Ma Xiaotao tore through the battlefield like a butcher slicing vegetables
.
She lived up to every word of her arrogance.
Even with an incomplete Evil Fire Phoenix, she still crushed her peers effortlessly.
If she ever fully evolved…
"Enough."
Yan Shaozhe clapped his hands, smiling broadly.
The match ended.
The students collapsed all over the arena, sprawled out, gasping for breath.
Combat drained more than just soul power.....it consumed physical stamina.
Unlike soul power, which rewarded effort directly, training the body was far more abstract.
The cost-to-benefit ratio was terrible.
Shrek's current training methods only worked in the early stages—below Soul Ancestor.
Beyond that, they were nearly useless.
There were no proper body-refinement techniques.
Even the Body Sect lacked true physical cultivation methods.
Most Titled Douluo were only strong because they were tough.....not because they had unlocked the body's true potential.
Just look at Zhou Yi's training methods.
Weighted running. Push-ups. Endurance drills.
Anyone unfamiliar might think they'd wandered into ancient times.
Someone like Rock Lee, a pure taijutsu monster?
Such a concept didn't exist in the Douluo Continent.
But…
Su Wen smacked his lips thoughtfully.
I might be an exception.
After all, he could synchronize with soul beasts' innate physical advantages.
Soul beasts were naturally far stronger physically than humans.
As their cultivation increased, the gap only widened.
He could clearly feel it....pure physical strength alone put him leagues ahead of his peers.
Shaking his head, Su Wen pushed those thoughts aside.
Everything depended on his third soul beast.
Only after that would the path forward truly become clear.
He just hoped he'd encounter the soul beast he had in mind.
