Chapter 230.
"The special tool under Jiu Yi Kai's feet must be formed from his soul bone. It's quite clever... very impressive," remarked Ma Hongjun, his gaze focused intently. "However, while he may be unaffected by the ice and snow environment, Skywater Academy enhancement on it is significant. He can't change that! The Crocodile scale shield, Blue Sailfish long range attacks, and Coral Barracuda have all been significantly boosted by the icy terrain."
"If they keep playing like this, Jiu Yikai will eventually face defeat," remarked another.
"Skywater Academy is truly formidable," Dai Mubai murmured. "The only chance he has is to break through this ice and snow environment and terrain. Otherwise, victory is well out of reach."
The group nodded in agreement, well aware of the challenge ahead. Breaking the terrain was crucial, as it would significantly weaken the opposing team's strength. However, achieving this feat in the face of such daunting conditions seemed like an impossible task.
"Even if he break through the terrain, dealing with this ice won't be easy..."
Tang San frowned, "When we fought her last time, she hadn't used her fourth soul ability yet, and I could vaguely see that her fourth soul ring appeared black..."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
At that moment, Wang Feng made his move. However, he didn't attack the Crocodile Scale Shield. Instead...
A black light condensed in his hand, shaping into a bow. With swift motion, Wang Feng drew the bowstring to its full extent, forming a long arrow aimed directly at the Shui Bing'er in the misty clouds above.
Swish!
The arrow sliced through the air, propelled by Wang Feng's concentrated strength. As he released the arrow, he took a deep breath, concealing his Black Thorns Armor, rendering himself extraordinarily agile, as well as opening his second tier of his first time in this tournament.
Witnessing this, everyone's eyes widened. Was Jiu Yi Kai employing the same method he used against Godwind Academy to Shui Bing'er once more?
Shui Bing'er was the linchpin of Skywater Academy. If she were incapacitated, the others would be significantly less effective. However, hitting Shui Bing'er was challenging, she hovered at least fifty meters high in the air. For an ordinary soul master without flight abilities, reaching such heights was nigh impossible.
Yet, would Jiu Yi Kai's tactics against aerial foes prove successful once again this time? Almost instantaneously after Wang Feng manifested the jet-black bow, a glint of light sparkled in Shui Bing'er's eyes.
How could she be caught?
Even if the opponent's arrow changed course, it couldn't reach Shui Bing'er!
Having studied Jiu Yikai's battle with Goddwind Academy, how could she follow in Feng Xiaotian's footsteps?
Fully prepared in her heart, Shui Binger stared at the arrow!
But when the arrow transformed into a black ray of light and soared into the air, Shui Bing'er was taken aback.
Because...
She noticed that when the arrow was released, a rope suddenly extended from the barb behind it!
In an instant, Jiu Yikai, like a willow leaf, was also pulled by the rope, vanishing from his original position, soaring into the sky along with the arrow!
"He didn't intend to attack me with the arrow? He wanted to use its force to ascend into the air?"=
Shui Bing'er was bewildered. "But even if he's in the air, he can't change his trajectory. How can he attack me?"
Though she hovered in midair and could fly and alter her position, Shui Bing'er immediately flew to the opposite side, keeping her distance from Jiu Yikai!
By this time, the arrow had exceeded fifty meters in height, still ascending!
It wasn't until it reached over a hundred meters that its momentum waned.
After releasing the arrow, because of Wang Feng swiftly disengaging the Black Thorns Armor, regulating his breath and lightening his body, reducing his weight, he was easily able to soar through the air. The force of the arrow swiftly hoisted him into the air!
After the force on the arrows dissipated, Wang Feng found himself about seventy meters above the ground.
Suddenly, he halted midair, his body contorting into a bow-like shape. His arms extended backward, assuming a projecting stance, as several one-meter-long short spears materialized in his palms!
Boom!
Seizing the moment of suspension in the air, Wang Feng hurled the short spears towards the ground with incredible force!
Onlookers watched in astonishment, bewildered by Jiu Yikai's intentions.
These six pitch-black spears were projected downwards from the air by Wang Feng's sheer mindboggling strength and with added momentum!
While throwing, his entire body even formed a U-shape, showcasing the immense power and force he used behind the action!
Like six dark meteors, they descended upon the ice crystal terrain!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With Wang Feng's strength behind them, the spears plummeted from a height of seventy meters, each one piercing through the ice crystal ground almost instantaneously, creating numerous fissures!
One of them directly struck the scale ice barrier formed by the Sea Crocodile martial soul!
Under this tremendous impact, the Crocodile Scale Shield was instantly breached!
At this sight, Shui Bing'er's expression changed.
On the ground, the ice crystal terrain and the influence of the ice and snow environment allowed the remaining five members to impose various restraints, preventing Jiu Yikai from breaking through.
However, in mid-air, there were no such constraints.
"But why did he shoot six spears?" Shui Bing'er pondered, glancing at the positions of the spears on the ground, which were distributed across various points of the ice crystal ring. The sheer force behind the spears, combined with the strength of the Armored Black Thorns, easily pierced through the tough ice crystal ground, creating countless spider like cracks.
The spears, aimed in five different directions, caused cracks to form, almost covering the entire ice crystal ring.
"Is he trying to destroy the terrain? And defeat all the players on the stage in an instant? But this doesn't seem enough to completely destroy..." Shui Bing'er's thoughts raced as she realized the gravity of the situation.
Her heart sank as she looked up at Wang Feng in midair, only to see him plummeting at an alarming speed.
"Bad!"
Shui Bing'er's mind went blank.
Like a black meteorite hurtling towards the ground, Wang Feng descended rapidly, both his hand forming a hammer, aimed directly at the center of the ice crystal ground. He also activated Black Thorns Armor once more.
And with the added weight of over six tons from Black Thorns Armor, the impact upon landing …!
Boom!
The ice crystal terrain was blasted into countless pieces, creating a massive crater upon impact. Ice ridges were flung like bullets in all directions, causing the five players on the ring to feel as though they were experiencing an earthquake. They were instantly bombarded by the ice debris from the fractured ice crystal ground.
The ice terrain ring burst open, the protective ice cover vanishing, and a dense cold mist billowed into the air from the point where Wang Feng had landed. The mist disrupted the falling snowflakes and chilled the air.
After a prolonged moment, the cold mist dispersed, revealing five players sprawled on the shattered arena, each bearing injuries. In the center, only Jiu Yikai remained. Despite the torn black robe clinging to his body and the lingering cold mist, he appeared relatively unscathed as he gazed silently at Shui Bing'er hovering in the air.
The audience fell into stunned silence as the situation swiftly reversed. With the explosion of the ice crystal arena and the ensuing chaos, the six players were left incapacitated, leaving only Shui Bing'er from Skywater College standing.
Countless people watched this scene, all with their mouths open. They never thought that Jiu Yikai would use this method to turn the game upside down!
As everyone seated at the VIP table observed, their mouths slightly agape, they witnessed the unfolding scene. Since Jiu Yikai unleashed his dark bow, there was speculation that he intended to assault Shui Bing'er using the same techniques he had employed against the Godwind Academy.
However, when Jiu Yikai soared into the air, arrows in tow, it became evident that his aim wasn't to harm Shui Bing'er in the slightest.
The subsequent actions baffled countless onlookers even more, as they struggled to comprehend Jiu Yikai's intentions. Even when one of the short spears pierced through the Crocodile Scale Shield, the reasoning behind why Jiu Yikai let one arrow loose while holding back the other five remained a mystery to all.
Until Jiu Yikai plummeted like a meteorite onto the icy terrain, many remained puzzled. However, as he fell, a revelation dawned upon them.
The ice crystal arena boasted a diameter of 100 meters. A direct fall would merely crack the central portion of the ground, incapable of generating the immense force needed to shatter the entire area or disrupt Skywater Academy's ice and snow environment.
Yet, Jiu Yikai's plan, employing six short spears strategically positioned to initiate fractures across the ice crystal ring before culminating in a synchronized smash at the midpoint, promised unprecedented devastation. This method not only ensured the collapse of the entire icy terrain but also posed a dual threat, injuring the five participants on the ring with the shattered ice shards.
Such a feat, however, seemed beyond the reach of anyone but Jiu Yikai. His impact, bolstered by a soul bone, had previously devastated Skywater Academy. Anticipating and thwarting such a maneuver, especially from a seventy-meter height, would prove exceedingly challenging, if not impossible.
To execute such a maneuver successfully, one must possess exceptional physical prowess, otherwise, they risk plummeting to the ground, failing to trigger the ice crystals' fracture, and potentially succumbing to the counter-shock's force and injuring themselves in the process.
Undoubtedly, this strategy displays remarkable ingenuity. However, for most soul masters, replicating it would prove nearly impossible, primarily due to the demanding physical requirements. Even power attack soul masters above level sixty would think twice before attempting such a feat.
