Chapter 226.

Recalling the original descriptions, Wang Feng remembered that Shui Leng'er was portrayed as an intelligent woman and the youngest member of the Skywater Academy team. Little did he expect her to employ a similar method to conceal her identity and disguise her strength, only revealing her true abilities in the end.

"We didn't lose unfairly," Tang San remarked with a light shake of his head. "I never anticipated Shui Bing'er to be so formidable. She possesses exceptional abilities as a control system soul master, and even... a group control soul ability rivaling my Blue Silver Cage. Her initial soul ability, Freezing, allowed her to immobilize me instantly, posing a significant challenge."

The instantaneous nature of her soul ability rendered Tang San unable to utilize his Ghost Shadows Perplexing Track to evade.

"What's more," Dai Mubai added solemnly, "she also possesses the ability to fly. She's the sole flying control type soul master in Skywater Academy! Her martial soul, a variant of the Phoenix known as the Ice Phoenix, was equivalent to Fatty's Fire Phoenix or maybe even stronger than it."

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng was slightly taken aback. Fatty's Fire Phoenix, having consumed the immortal grass, had transformed into a genuine Fire Phoenix. If he were to find a partner in the future, their martial soul would grow stronger through joint practice. Despite not having found a partner yet, his martial soul remained among the top-tier beast souls. Compared to Dai Mubai's White Tiger, it didn't lag behind.

"Ice Phoenix?" Wang Feng frowned. 

Xiao Wu confirmed. "This Shui Bing'er is incredibly powerful. Her flight capabilities rival those of the Godwind's team's flying soul masters. At the start of the match, she ascended forty meters into the air and immediately launched her freezing soul ability at Tang San. Then, she unleashed a wide array of ice and snow soul skills, altering the entire terrain."

"After the terrain shift, the temperature of the arena plummeted, and the ground became extremely slippery! Remember how Zhuqing made Elephant Armored Academy struggle with martial soul fusion skills that day? It was similar!"

"Boss Dai and I could still move, albeit with reduced agility in that terrain," Xiao Wu continued. "But the opponent's agility attack system soul masters seemed to thrive in such conditions, as if they were born to maneuver in that environment."

"Another terrain manipulation!" 

Another team capable of altering the battleground! Wang Feng's heart skipped a beat. 

The Blazing Academy's victory over Thunder Academy, was undoubtedly influenced by their ability to control the battlefield.

Due to the diverse elements at play, it's challenging to wield different effects in different environments. This is why the Godwind Academy team employs clouds formation—an aerial terrain—to nullify ground-based threats completely.

This showcases the potency of terrain manipulation by the Elemental Academies. Despite Tang San's immunity to ice, he remained vulnerable to freezing control, albeit not the cold itself. Once targeted and controlled by Shui Bing'er in the sky, Tang San would have no chance to break free.

"It's evident they've thoroughly studied us," Wang Feng remarked, shaking his head. "Your loss wasn't unjust. It's impossible to defeat them with only three main players, especially when you're unaware of Shui Bing'er's true capabilities."

Wang Feng hadn't anticipated the myriad variables in this competition. From the Elephant Armored Academy transformations onward, the trajectory had been constantly shifting. Perhaps Jiu Yikai entry had disrupted the original game plan. With the Elemental Academies' terrain control, powerful mutant martial souls, the variables were numerous from the original.

Wang Feng couldn't help but wonder how much the Star Luo Empire and Soul Hall teams would have evolved or changed by the time they reached the finals.

"I believe Skywater Academy could potentially be the strongest among the Elemental Academies, especially with Shui Bing'er in the lineup," Tang San mused. "I initially considered using the Eight Spider Lances, but upon reflection, I abandoned the idea. The odds of success were slim... It's best to keep it secret to avoid drawing unnecessary attention."

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng interjected, "Have you witnessed their martial soul fusion technique?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

"What the heck?"

Martial soul fusion technique? Does Skywater Academy also possess such a martial soul fusion technique?

Observing the expressions of everyone present, Wang Feng discreetly shook his head, it seemed the opposing party hadn't even utilized the martial soul fusion technique.

"I came across this information by chance... I heard that Skywater College possesses the martial soul fusion technique," Wang Feng elucidated.

Everyone was stunned.

If Skywater Academy indeed also has the martial soul fusion technique, how formidable would it be?

Do they still have hidden aces?

But considering themselves, Shrek also still harbors numerous hidden aces, so it's reasonable for others to hide their strength also.

Tang San shook his head.

"If I hadn't forcibly broken the ice seal at the last moment and propelled myself into the air with the Blue Silver Grass, even Shui Bing'er's martial soul might not have been discernible to us even till the last moment." Tang San frowned, "They unleashed another soul ability right from the start, like a protective shield, temporarily preventing us from breaking through. When Shui Bing'er ascended into the air for the first time, a misty wind enveloped her entire body, obscuring even her martial soul from being visible."

"But we've been truly careless. If we could deploy three more people, we might have defeated Skywater Academy easily."

After all, Shrek Academy's main lineup is way too formidable. Purple Star Academy, Godwind, Skywater, Blazing Academies, among this only Purple Star Academy possess somewhat of a threat to them, they have the confidence to defeat the other academies easily if all seven of them play.

"In fact, I have a faint feeling that this Shui Bing'er isn't as straightforward as we assumed," Tang San whispered. "When I propelled myself into the air with the Blue Silver Grass, my Purple Demon Eye, I launched a mental shock on Shui Bing'er... but she didn't seem affected. I was a bit surprised at the time, and then I was even more surprised when Shui Bing'er countered directly."

In addition to dispelling illusions, the Purple Demon Eye can send mental shock. Tang San had used it when facing the pressure of the Titan Tai Tan, and even he was left disoriented for several seconds. Even a Soul Douluo can be affected. But it didn't work on Shui Bing'er.

"Is she immune to mental shock?" Wang Feng pondered. If it wasn't due to the special effects of her martial soul, there was only one possibility, possessing a head soul bone. If she had soul bone like [Black Hoop Spiritual Skull], she would be completely immune to Tang San's mental shock. The spirit is connected to the soul and is independent of the soul's strength.

Although he hadn't witnessed the battle, Wang Feng couldn't help but be intrigued. Among the five elemental students, Skywater Academy seemed to have undergone the most significant transformation.

The crux of it lay in their water-ice element.

Her mutated martial soul was no less impressive than any of the Shrek Seven Monsters. In terms of quality, it was nearly on par with Zhu Zhuqing, who had consumed immortal herb.

But Zhu Zhuqing had consumed immortal grass. If Shui Bing'er hadn't been born with her abilities, then she must have also encountered some extraordinary adventures!

At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the lounge, accompanied by a clear voice:

"May I come in?"

Turning around, everyone saw a charming girl with sky-blue hair, clad in an aqua-colored short dress, her delicate face accentuated by big watery eyes, standing outside the door.

Tang San approached, opened the door, and greeted her with a smile. 

"You're Shui Bing'er's younger sister, Shui Yue'er, right? Is there something you need?"

"Well... I'm looking for him," Shui Yue'er replied, her gaze shifting towards Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai cleared his throat. Earlier on the field, the girl had glanced at him for a moment, but he had been engrossed in his training lately, leaving no time for dalliances.

"Here I am. What do you need?" Dai Mubai stood up and inquired.

"Thank you, and also I wanted to invite you for dinner," Shui Yue'er said, covering her mouth as she smirked. 

"You seemed to have held back just now, otherwise, even if we had won, I would have been severely injured. I'm an agility attack system soul master, I was responsible for restraining you just now..."

Hearing this, everyone sighed.

"Boss Dai... it's on you," Ma Hongjun nudged Dai Mubai's shoulder with his elbow. 

"Did you really hold back during the match just now? Losing the game but getting yourself a girl, that's quite a profitable move. Go ahead, do you need to asked twice to go on a dinner?"

Dai Mubai pondered for a moment, feeling a bit embarrassed after not having pursued any romantic interests for a while, especially when he gazed into Shui Yue'er's pure and sincere eyes.

"No problem, let's head outside first," Dai Mubai finally agreed, feeling a stir in his heart.

"Hehe... okay," Shui Yue'er beamed with joy, stepping outside the room. Suddenly, she looked at Wang Feng, pursed her lips, and smiled, "Are you Wang Feng? My sister mentioned that only three people from Shrek Academy main lineup participated in the battle. It seems a bit unfair to defeat you all like this. If you get the chance, I hope you can join as a key player. Fight with us. Especially you."

Wang Feng thought to himself that if the main forces of the Shrek Seven Devils were all present, the likelihood of Skywater Academy winning was nigh impossible, unless they pull out some bs plot armor level power up in the middle of the fight. However, if he joined the fray, their chances, well there would be no chances.

"If the opportunity arises," Wang Feng replied politely.
