In the days that followed, Fang Yu remained in a constant state of cultivation.
His Ice Element magic was already nearing a bottleneck, and he was making his final preparations.
Half a month later, Fang Yu ended his closed-door cultivation and arrived at Pearl Academy once again.
Today just so happened to be the monthly Ice Academy ranking assessment. Fang Yu needed qualification to cultivate in the Three-Step Tower, so he planned to participate.
As for why Fang Yu was in the Ice Academy
Naturally, it was because the Space Element department in the main campus only had a few crooked melons and cracked dates, not even a single pretty girl around, so he applied to Dean Xiao for a department transfer.
At Pearl Academy's Main Campus Ice Academy, the moment Fang Yu arrived, the bone-piercing icy atmosphere made him subconsciously feel as though the entire lecture hall was frozen solid.
Looking toward the walls and towering pillars of the hall, he could see dazzling ice patterns carrying a gradual shimmering effect. From different angles, it looked as though the frost on the walls was actually dancing and freezing over, vividly lifelike.
The entire Ice Element lecture hall was arranged in tiered seating, row upon row in perfect order. By the time Fang Yu entered, the place was already packed with people and buzzing noisily.
Fortunately, with a single glance, he could see countless sexy girls. Perhaps because they cultivated the Ice Element, all of them carried a naturally cold and frosty aura.
At this moment, more than a thousand people had already gathered here. With Challenge Week arriving, the students of the Ice Academy had long since become eager for battle.
Not long after, Fang Yu entered the field and found the department director to register.
"You just entered the main campus, and you already want to participate in the ranking challenge?" Ice Academy director Jiang Tao looked at Fang Yu in confusion as he asked.
"Yes." Fang Yu nodded.
"The Ice Academy rankings are filled with elite students," Jiang Tao advised. "Are you sure about this, kid?"
Looking at the old man in front of him, Fang Yu almost wanted to retort. It was just a challenge, why so much nonsense? Was he going to let him challenge or not?
"If I didn't have confidence, I wouldn't have brought it up to you," Fang Yu replied.
"Good kid. Then who do you want to challenge?" Although Jiang Tao admired Fang Yu's personality somewhat, he still felt the boy was a little too arrogant. After all, he was only a newly promoted student, yet he already wanted to challenge veteran experts.
"I'm fine with anyone, but if Director Jiang Tao has a recommendation, that would be even better," Fang Yu responded.
"Then rank 150, Qian Shui," Jiang Tao replied.
"Oh, only rank 150? I thought Director Jiang Tao would arrange someone within the top 100," Fang Yu said politely, still smiling warmly.
Jiang Tao: "???"
Speechless, he shook his head. Listen to this kid, he really was confident. Someone in the top 100? If not for Fang Yu's respectful attitude, Jiang Tao would have already thrown him out!
"So confident, huh? Then do your best. If you can defeat him, I'll give you some extra lenient treatment in the future," Jiang Tao said.
"Then thank you in advance, Director," Fang Yu replied.
As time passed and one ranking challenge after another concluded, it was finally Fang Yu's turn to step onto the stage.
Fang Yu walked onto the battle platform, and standing opposite him was his opponent, Qian Shui.
The name was rather interesting. Wonder if he was skilled in the Shadow Element.
"If I remember correctly, you should be a freshman who just entered the main campus Ice Academy, right?" Qian Shui asked.
"That's right," Fang Yu nodded.
"You just entered the main campus, yet you already want to challenge me. You really are confident," Qian Shui said coldly.
"You may not believe it, but Director Jiang Tao arranged all of this."
Fang Yu paused before continuing, "He's probably hoping you'll teach me a lesson. After all, he thinks my decision to challenge someone is a bit too ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth."
After hearing that, Qian Shui froze slightly. If that were true, then it was definitely a good thing for him!
"Senior, are you thinking that after dealing with me, you'll receive some extra attention?" Fang Yu looked at his pleased expression and asked.
"Correct. You're very smart, Junior. Just for saying that, I'll go easier on you," Qian Shui said in a rather good mood.
However, Fang Yu shook his head and looked at Qian Shui as he said, "That is, if Senior even gets the chance to make a move."
Now that Fang Yu's Ice Element had reached the peak of Mid-Tier, coupled with the threefold amplification of his Spirit Seed,
that level of destructive power could practically be considered equivalent to a High-Tier spell!
Fang Yu even felt he needed to hold back a little. Otherwise, with Qian Shui's level, he might really get blasted to death.
Having immense power yet being unable to fully unleash it was undoubtedly one of the most frustrating things.
Because Jiang Tao had become interested in Fang Yu, he personally acted as referee. Along with the words, "Battle start"—
Star Paths flashed beneath Fang Yu's feet, quickly forming a Star Map!
Frost carrying extreme cold danced around Fang Yu, freezing the ground. A chilling wave of ice spread outward from him across the entire arena, sweeping toward Qian Shui's face.
"Ice Lock—Rise!"
Fang Yu slammed his frost-covered hand onto the ground.
"Beng beng beng~~~~"
Suddenly, the frozen surface split apart as thick "Ice Chains" surged upward, dancing wildly like dragons in flight…
Qian Shui had also been drawing a Star Map, but the bone-piercing cold aura disrupted his Star Path directly!
"So fast! How can this guy draw a Star Map at such a terrifying speed?!"
Qian Shui's expression changed drastically, his face filled with shock. His eyes reflected nothing but the biting frost surrounding him.
"Bang!"
At that moment, the ice chains three times larger than ordinary Ice Element magic came crashing toward Qian Shui. That level of power was simply not something a mere Mid-Tier mage like him could resist!
"The power of this Ice Element magic is practically approaching High-Tier magic," Jiang Tao said as he saw Qian Shui in danger. Wearing his Armor Boots, he dashed forward and appeared in front of the trembling Qian Shui.
"Heavens Water Curtain!"
A gorgeous and crystal-clear Water Element Constellation emerged around Jiang Tao. As the light of the Constellation flashed, a curtain-like barrier rose abruptly. Its completely crystal-blue color made the Heavens Water Curtain radiate a powerful protective force.
The moment one of the massive "Ice Chains" slammed into the "Heavens Water Curtain," the Ice Chain was blocked, shattered apart by the surging water currents. However, portions of the "Water Curtain Barrier" also began freezing over…
One "Ice Chain" after another followed closely behind, roaring forward. Although they failed to penetrate the defense, they caused the "Water Curtain Barrier" to freeze solid completely before dense cracks rapidly spread across it, turning it into chunks of ice that scattered everywhere.
Fang Yu's Ice Chains collapsed, and the icy force also began to weaken, gradually being suppressed.
It continued for a full two minutes before the frost-white battlefield slowly returned to normal!
