Three spirit rings suddenly appeared beneath Lin Xiuran, each a different color: green, red, and blue.
The once ordinary wind bird now stood tall and proud, its small body now enormous. Its feathers were abundant and vibrant, transforming from a single color into three, and were remarkably smooth.
It no longer appeared weak; the three elemental powers surrounding it gave it a noble and elegant air, truly resembling a phoenix.
Xie Xie below the stage watched in shock. Although they had been watching Lin Xiuran's solo matches, seeing all the spirit rings converge was truly astonishing.
Not only them, but the entire audience was stunned. Who had ever seen three strangely colored spirit rings? Although there was a red one, it was clearly not a 100,000-year spirit ring. Without the corresponding pressure, even if it were a true 100,000-year spirit ring, aside from whether Lin Xiuran's body could withstand it, at the very least, just releasing it would likely force Ye Xinglan to her knees.
But the unusually different color of the spirit ring still made her wary.
Moreover, Ye Xinglan truly hadn't expected Lin Xiuran to be a three-ring spirit ring, reaching the Soul Master level at the age of ten. His talent might not be inferior to hers.
Even she, who was admitted to the inner academy, was only a two-ring spirit ring, while Lin Xiuran, at the same age, was already a three-ring spirit ring.
It seemed she had underestimated Donghai Academy; Tang Wulin alone was enough to shock her. She hadn't expected there to be another Lin Xiuran.
But she wasn't intimidated; instead, her fighting spirit intensified, because she knew very well that this battle would be incredibly exciting.
Aside from her somewhat careless battle with Tang Wulin, she had never experienced such a thoroughly enjoyable fight among her peers.
Today is definitely going to be a tough battle.
Ye Xinglan held her Star God Sword horizontally, her eyes gleaming. A sword light seemed to flash from it, and several sword energies flew around her.
Ye Xinglan had watched Lin Xiuran's match. Although he hadn't revealed his martial soul or known his soul skills, she knew he was definitely a ranged attacker.
As long as she got close, she had a great chance to easily defeat Lin Xiuran. Holding the Star God Sword, she was confident.
Taking a half-step forward, Ye Xinglan used her right foot, which had just stepped forward, as the center, and suddenly unleashed her power.
Her longsword was also held horizontally in front of her, thrusting out directly, carrying specks of yellow starlight, its boundless power heading straight for Lin Xiuran's face.
Ye Xinglan's normal sword strikes were light and swift, but the power of this strike was clearly considerable. It also clearly showed how seriously she took the battle with Lin Xiuran.
Lin Xiuran's movements were also fluid. Wind elements instantly surged out, directly covering Ye Xinglan's sword and hindering her speed. Simultaneously, she channeled wind energy into herself, instantly retreating to create distance and avoid close combat.
At the same time, several more ice spikes rose from the ground, directly blocking Ye Xinglan's path and forcefully halting her attack.
"Two elements?"
Ye Xinglan was clearly surprised, but only for a moment. Next, she swung her Star God Sword, unleashing a sword beam that sliced through all the ice spikes.
However, Lin Xiuran had already created distance between them. Therefore, she had no time to hesitate; her first soul ring rose beneath her feet.
Golden light surrounded the Star God Sword, which she then swung, sending a burst of starlight flying from its tip.
A circular ice shield instantly formed in Lin Xiuran's hand, blocking the starlight, but the shield shattered instantly as well.
Moreover, Lin Xiuran felt some of the starlight enter his body, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
At this moment, Lin Xiuran completely disregarded everything else, instantly gathering power within his body, his eyes flashing with three-colored light.
The blue-green light in his hand flickered, directly condensing into a hurricane, which quickly grew to a length of two meters.
Moreover, this hurricane contained ice shards and ice spikes, making it a complete ice tornado.
The sudden drop in temperature instantly made Ye Xinglan feel uncomfortable, her whole body covered in goosebumps as if frozen. She felt as if her soul power had been frozen.
However, Ye Xinglan's eyes remained firm. She sensed the power of Lin Xiuran's attack and clearly knew the formidable mental strength required for this ice tornado.
But she felt no fear!
Ye Xinglan slightly closed her eyes, and at the same time, the second soul ring beneath her feet shone brightly, a protective shield filled with starlight enveloping her.
As the shield appeared, Ye Xinglan directly swung her sword, and with the swing of the Star God Sword, several starlight beams swirled around her. At this moment, she seemed to stand at the very center, the entire arena around her seemingly surrounded by countless stars.
With a single step, her speed more than doubled. The Star God Sword in her hand seemed to transform into countless starlight, its power striking the ice tornado directly.
The sword light collided directly with the ice tornado, the force so great that the entire arena seemed to tremble.
Neither side gained a significant advantage in this clash, but neither was injured, and both were brimming with fighting spirit.
Ye Xinglan once again launched the first attack, the Star God Sword ever-changing, surrounded by countless starlight, its sword light scattering and concentrating on this single strike.
A fiery light flashed in Lin Xiuran's eyes, and countless fireballs suddenly formed above his body, falling like a rain of fire towards Ye Xinglan's position.
Ye Xinglan's sword light deflected many of the fireball attacks, and her sword swung more than ten times in an instant, almost sweeping away all the approaching fireballs.
However, given the current situation, she had absolutely no chance of victory. These countless fireballs alone could wear her down.
"Damn it!" Ye Xinglan gritted her teeth. She truly couldn't fathom how much soul power Lin Xiuran possessed to unleash such a massive amount of elemental attacks,
and it seemed almost effortless for him.
Ye Xinglan no longer hesitated; she could only decisively charge up her power and go all in. Otherwise, if things continued this way, she would be the one to lose.
All the starlight converged on the sword's blade, and even her own soul power continuously gathered towards the center of the sword.
The next moment, with unparalleled power, it charged forward, its sword intent at its peak, piercing out like a giant, spiked energy sword.
Before Lin Xiuran, fiery red flames instantly gathered around his entire body, then gradually danced in the sky. The flames gradually condensed, eventually forming a gigantic fiery red phoenix.
The temperature of the flames almost made the air tremble. The fiery red phoenix fell directly from the sky.
Flames erupted from the ground as it flew, and with a phoenix cry, it crashed directly into Ye Xinglan.
