Shui Yue Ruo sensed the surrounding Killing God Domain, a trace of doubt flashing across her brows.
The legendary Killing God Domain was supposed to be one of the top-tier domains in the world. Logically speaking, it should not only have this level of power. Or was the Ice Frost Domain simply too strong, causing her to misjudge it?
Hearing Shui Yue Ruo's words, Shui Bing'er's eyes flickered. She could naturally guess the reason.
She had not truly achieved a hundred consecutive victories in the Slaughter Arena. Therefore, when passing through the light curtain at the exit of Slaughter City, the Killing God Domain she condensed should have been somewhat incomplete.
An incomplete Killing God Domain was definitely different from a complete one. This was very likely the reason why her Killing God Domain had not reached the expected level.
At that moment, Articuno descended from the sky, and the two people in the office naturally heard the sound.
Shui Yue Ruo immediately smiled and said, "Looks like your brother has arrived."
Shui Bing'er also immediately retracted her Killing God Domain, returning to her original state.
Soon, Shui Wuhen arrived in the office. He glanced at Shui Yue Ruo and smiled as he cupped his hands, saying, "Congratulations, Dean!"
It was obvious that Shui Yue Ruo's breakthrough aura could not escape Shui Wuhen's perception.
"With the pills you provided, if I still couldn't break through, wouldn't I be useless?"
Shui Yue Ruo also smiled in response.
Immediately after, Shui Yue Ruo's expression became somewhat hesitant, as if she had something difficult to say.
"Does the Dean have something to discuss? Please speak freely."
Seeing Shui Yue Ruo clearly had something on her mind, Shui Wuhen directly spoke and made an inviting gesture.
Shui Yue Ruo took a deep breath before finally speaking, "Wuhen, do you still have the pills you gave me before? I am willing to buy them at a high price."
After experiencing the cultivation speed of the pills, Shui Yue Ruo could no longer tolerate the crawling speed of normal cultivation. Although she knew such treasures that could increase soul power were extremely rare and difficult to measure with money, she still wanted to try.
After all, with the help of the pills, her cultivation speed could increase by more than ten times.
Hearing this, Shui Bing'er immediately looked toward her brother.
She naturally had the pills. After all, Shui Wuhen had given her quite a lot, and even after reaching level 70, she still had some left.
However, she could not make this decision. It was not that she was reluctant, but rather that the pills were given to her by Shui Wuhen. Without her brother's permission, she could not take them out.
Shui Wuhen looked at Shui Yue Ruo, then at his younger sister. After a brief silence, he said, "There's no need for money. I don't lack gold soul coins. I'll just give this bottle of pills to the Dean as thanks for taking care of Bing'er."
A jade bottle flew out from Shui Wuhen's storage soul tool and was gently sent in front of Shui Yue Ruo by his soul power.
Shui Yue Ruo quickly caught it. While feeling happy, she also sighed inwardly, "This time, I've used up a lot of favor."
Unlike Shui Bing'er, who was almost like a disciple, her relationship with Shui Wuhen was not particularly close. Rather, apart from his sister Shui Bing'er, Shui Wuhen did not have many acquaintances.
Although she was relatively familiar among the people Shui Wuhen knew, she could still clearly feel the distance between them.
The first time Shui Wuhen gave her pills to help her break through to Soul Douluo had already been a favor. Asking for them a second time was quite damaging to goodwill, and with Shui Wuhen's personality, it would be extremely difficult to restore.
"Fortunately, I am Bing'er's teacher. As long as I maintain proper boundaries, the relationship will remain."
Thinking this, Shui Yue Ruo tightened her grip on the jade bottle.
With this bottle of pills, her hope of breaking through to Titled Douluo had increased further.
Then, Shui Yue Ruo solemnly said to Shui Wuhen, "Great kindness needs no thanks. If you ever need my help in the future, just ask."
However, Shui Wuhen only waved his hand indifferently and said, "No need. It's just a bottle of pills."
Seeing this, Shui Bing'er also smiled and said, "Dean, since brother has given them to you, just accept them with peace of mind. For him, these pills are nothing."
After a bit more conversation, Shui Wuhen and Shui Bing'er left the Dean's office together.
After they left, Shui Yue Ruo opened the jade bottle containing the pills. Instantly, a rich medicinal fragrance filled the entire room.
Feeling this fragrance, which was even stronger than before, Shui Yue Ruo's eyes lit up.
The previous pills were already so effective—how powerful would these enhanced ones be?
After a moment, she forcefully suppressed the urge to immediately consume them and reluctantly closed the lid. Instantly, most of the medicinal fragrance dissipated.
Naturally, she would not casually use the Ice Soul Spirit Pill for cultivation. Although it could rapidly increase her strength in a short time, it was undoubtedly an extremely wasteful method.
Only when she reached a bottleneck would she use the pill's power to break through. That was the optimal way to maximize its benefits.
If used properly, she could save a great deal of time and reach the threshold of Titled Douluo in about ten years.
After parting from Shui Yue Ruo, Shui Bing'er said to Shui Wuhen, "Brother, I want to go see Xue Wu and the others."
Shui Wuhen smiled and said, "Go ahead. Remember to send my regards to them."
Generally speaking, after graduation, students from spirit master academies would return home or join various major forces. However, many students of Tianshui Academy lived near Tianshui City, so it was not difficult to meet regularly.
After Shui Bing'er happily left, Shui Wuhen looked up at the sky, narrowing his eyes slightly as he murmured, "Is it finally time to fight?"
At the same time, dozens of miles outside Tianshui City, above a dense forest, Feng Xiaotian stood atop a towering ancient tree and suddenly opened his eyes.
"One minute is up."
Feng Xiaotian looked in Qian Renxue's direction and spoke as a reminder.
The next moment, Qian Renxue stopped her meditation and opened her eyes. "Come, let me see what confidence you have to challenge me."
After a minute of rest, although Qian Renxue had not fully recovered to her peak state, it no longer affected her combat ability.
At the same time, she was also curious whether Feng Xiaotian was just bluffing.
From his aura, she could tell Feng Xiaotian was at level 82, one level lower than her.
Immediately, Qian Renxue condensed her golden flame longsword again, her wings shining brightly as her figure vanished instantly.
When she reappeared, she was already in front of Feng Xiaotian, slashing down with her blazing flame sword.
Seeing this, Feng Xiaotian's wings transformed into blades, meeting her strike head-on.
BOOM——
A violent explosion erupted as energy waves spread like wind. Faint gold and cyan colors filled several meters of space.
Next, Qian Renxue continuously launched attacks while Feng Xiaotian continuously defended. Their figures were invisible in the sky, but the clash sounds and energy shockwaves kept erupting.
Feng Xiaotian's speed was not inferior to Qian Renxue's, so all her attacks were blocked.
After a moment, Feng Xiaotian spoke coldly, with a hint of disappointment in his tone: "Is this all your strength? If so, you really disappoint me."
As he spoke, his aura exploded. His body spun rapidly, transforming into a massive cyan storm hundreds of meters tall, radiating dense wind energy.
As the storm appeared, wind attribute energy in the surroundings surged toward it, causing a terrifying gale to erupt.
Countless rocks were lifted into the air, and even towering trees were uprooted and ground into dust by the storm.
Even Qingluan Douluo and Guangling Douluo were nearly swept away by the wind pressure.
"This move has such terrifying power."
Only after activating his martial soul did Qingluan Douluo stabilize himself, staring at the cyan storm with shock.
Even the edge of its influence required him to use his martial soul. If he were to face it directly, just how powerful would it be?
"Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Combo Slashes!"
From within the massive cyan storm, Feng Xiaotian's voice echoed. In the next instant, dozens of crescent-shaped cyan blades, each about a meter and a half long, shot out with the intent to sever everything.
This was still the Gale Demon Wolf Thirty-Six Combo Slashes, but its power was completely different from its use in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament.
Not only had Feng Xiaotian's soul power greatly increased, but through the Wind God trials, he had already deeply refined this technique.
It was more condensed, stronger, and consumed less energy.
"What a terrifying self-created soul skill. Can the Young Lord block it?"
On the side, Guangling Douluo looked worried. This attack was already close to the level of a 100,000-year soul skill, even surpassing his ninth soul skill in power.
"Don't worry. If this is all he has, he still cannot defeat the Young Lord."
Qingluan Douluo patted Guangling Douluo's shoulder, though his eyes remained fixed on the battlefield. Clearly, even he was uncertain of victory.
At this moment, the cyan blades had already reached Qian Renxue.
Fast—beyond imagination!
Thirty-six cyan crescent blades cut through the air, each carrying a terrifying killing intent, striking from all angles as if to tear her apart.
Under such an attack, even a Soul Douluo could be killed instantly if careless.
"This is similar to Shui Wuhen's Frost Slash. Hmph!"
Qian Renxue snorted coldly. She could clearly see traces of Shui Wuhen's technique within Feng Xiaotian's self-created skill.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Angelic Protection!"
Her fifth soul ring lit up, and a massive golden shield appeared around her.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!...
The thirty-six cyan blades struck the golden shield, producing sparks of light, but they were all deflected.
After blocking the attack, Qian Renxue looked toward Feng Xiaotian with a complicated expression.
In truth, she also wanted to study this technique, but her talent in self-created soul skills was lacking compared to her cultivation talent.
That was one of the reasons she came to challenge Shui Wuhen.
However, she did not expect Shui Wuhen's strength to have improved so rapidly that she could not even force out his Frost Slash.
"Your move is stronger than during the Elite Tournament. It seems Shui Wuhen gave you quite a bit of inspiration. Unfortunately, it still cannot break my fifth soul skill."
This fifth soul skill was specifically chosen by Qian Renxue to counter Shui Wuhen's self-created techniques. Its defensive power was second only to invincible-type skills like Invincible Golden Body.
Although Feng Xiaotian's attack was powerful—close to a level 95 Titled Douluo's full strike—it still could not break through.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Feng Xiaotian's lips curled into a strange smile. "Do you really think my progress in this short time is only this much? If that were all, I wouldn't dare to come see Shui Wuhen."
"What?"
Qian Renxue's pupils shrank, her body immediately preparing to retreat.
But she was too late. The storm's suction suddenly increased, locking her in place.
The same suction also affected Qingluan Douluo and Guangling Douluo, forcing them to unleash their strongest defensive techniques just to stabilize themselves.
"Qian Renxue, you should feel honored. This was originally a surprise I prepared for Shui Wuhen. Now, you get to experience it first."
As the storm expanded to two hundred meters, Feng Xiaotian's voice echoed from all directions.
"Gale Demon Wolf… One Hundred and Eight Combo Slashes!"
As his voice fell, dozens upon dozens of two-meter-long cyan blades erupted with destructive force, locking onto Qian Renxue.
"Not good!"
Qingluan Douluo felt a cry of despair in his heart. This attack already surpassed his full power. Even he would need everything he had—and still risk severe injury—to block it.
At her peak, Qian Renxue might still have a chance, but after exhausting her martial soul true body earlier against Shui Wuhen, she could no longer resist such an attack.
Even so, Qingluan Douluo immediately unleashed his strongest possible attack to meet Feng Xiaotian's Gale Demon Wolf One Hundred and Eight Combo Slashes!
