"Huh... Huh... Huh..." - Both Lin Fan and Su Yan breathed irregularly, their own Yuan Qi in disarray as the previous attack had unexpectedly drained them both.
"... " - The two stared at each other silently for a moment before Su Yan broke the silence by uttering the name of her next attack.
"Ice Swords..." - Su Yan muttered, and ice energy radiated from her body. Her blue eyes, resembling the midday sky, turned pale blue, like ice.
Not only that, but the moisture in the air quickly froze, and the area became an ice field, indicating that Su Yan's attack was powerful and massive. The mere release of her attack's energy had affected the surrounding environment.
'This is bad...' - Lin Fan thought with concern. He had less Yuan Qi than Su Yan and was exhausted from the previous attack, which hadn't relied entirely on Yuan Qi but consumed much of his physical strength. As a result, he couldn't rely on his body, which he took pride in, to block Su Yan's attack.
As for using his Yuan Qi along with his physical strength to block the attack? Although he considered it, he quickly discarded the thought. Su Yan's attack seemed to affect Yuan Qi itself, making it difficult for Lin Fan to control his Yuan Qi properly. He would lose if he stubbornly tried to control his Yuan Qi, or worse, his Yuan Qi might go out of control and damage his meridians, leaving him crippled.
Thinking about this made Lin Fan tremble with fear. After years of struggle, he had finally regained his talent, and he even had a powerful master to guide him. He didn't want to consider the possibility of becoming crippled and unable to do anything again.
'Master...' - When Lin Fan couldn't find a solution to the looming crisis, he could only turn to his master, who was silently watching everything from the ring.
Despite Lin Fan's call, the so-called master didn't respond immediately, which made Lin Fan even more anxious, fearing that his master might have gone to sleep while his disciple's fate hung in the balance. He was about to call out again when he heard a voice echo in his mind.
'Lin Fan, let me take control of your body,' - A beautiful voice rang in Lin Fan's head, causing a slight shiver through his body. The celestial, melodious voice always sent chills through his spine, and he couldn't help but think of impure things whenever he heard the heavenly note-like voice.
Even though this wasn't the first time Lin Fan heard his master's voice, it never failed to stir Lin Fan's thoughts, dominated by lust and a desire to possess the voice's owner. But when he saw the ice swords around Su Yan, Lin Fan didn't hesitate to close his eyes and relinquish control of his body to his master.
"... " - When Lin Fan opened his eyes again, his black eyes had turned purple, and his black hair, now tied in a ponytail, flowed smoothly down his back. His aura had completely changed, now exuding a regal and arrogant presence, even the look in his eyes gazed down upon everything.
At this moment, everyone watched the change in events with great interest. They had expected Su Yan to win the fight but didn't foresee Lin Fan having such a trump card. However, they weren't too surprised, as the Purple Heart Sect specialized in mental arts, and there were many precedents of people within it being able to communicate with the spirits of powerful beings and allowing them to take over their bodies to gain greater strength during battles.
"... " - But while everyone watched the fight with interest, as they were about to witness a good show, there was one person who was surprised by what was happening, even though he knew this would happen.
"Dragon..." - Yu Tian muttered in astonishment. Despite expecting Lin Fan to seek help from the spirit within the ring on his neck, he didn't anticipate that the other party was also a dragon. This brought a pleasant surprise to Yu Tian, as he had been deeply curious about dragons ever since becoming one of them and wanted to learn more about this race that stood at the pinnacle of all living beings across all the universes he had visited.
But what Yu Tian felt wasn't just astonishment and curiosity, but also insult. He was a Golden Dragon, and although currently only a Child Golden Dragon, he was the ruler of the dragon bloodline and worshipped as a god among the dragon race. He didn't feel good when another dragon ignored his presence and emitted such an arrogant aura in his presence.
However, Yu Tian wasn't reckless, especially with the Gamer's Mind ability. He quickly suppressed his lineage's instinct, which urged him to go and teach this small dragon a lesson about ignoring the existence of a Golden Dragon. Instead, he watched the battle in the ring with curiosity. Although the outcome was already decided, he was interested in seeing what the dragon spirit controlling Lin Fan's body would do.
"Soul Possession..." - Su Yan muttered with a frown when she saw the changes in Lin Fan - "It seems he's allowed a powerful spirit to possess his body."
Although the Purple Heart Sect hadn't officially named this ability, as it rarely appeared in talented individuals and no one had managed to learn it, those who encountered it had given it the name "Soul Possession." This name was well-known to all the sects near the Purple Heart Sect, including the High Heaven Pavilion.
"I don't know who you are, but I won't give up victory easily," - Su Yan said coldly, but with a slight tone of respect in her voice, as the other party's strength was apparent - "Ice Swords!!"
Charging her attack with all her strength, Su Yan didn't hesitate to unleash the five swords that carried an ominous aura toward Lin Fan or rather the spirit controlling Lin Fan's body.
The Ice Swords were a self-created skill that Su Yan had developed due to encountering a large wave of monsters during one of her adventures. This technique was designed to fight multiple enemies simultaneously, and the only limit to the number of swords Su Yan could create was her Yuan Qi. However, when she previously focused all her strength into a single sword or a few swords, the technique had shown impressive power. She only used it against powerful opponents.
"This is impressive strength, but it won't be able to harm me," - the beautiful voice from Lin Fan's body said as it gazed at the ice swords with disdain, easily able to shatter them with a mere wave of the hand.
"I already know that," - Su Yan replied, a rare smile appearing on her usually cold face as she clenched her raised hand - "Fusion!!"
At Su Yan's command, the swords quickly merged into one, forming a terrifyingly powerful sword that shot toward Lin Fan with impressive speed.
Swish*
In an instant, the ice sword, formed from five Ice Swords, appeared before Lin Fan, aiming at his heart. With the power of the spirit controlling Lin Fan, Su Yan couldn't retreat. She fought with the intent to end her opponent's life, as she wouldn't even have the chance to injure him otherwise, let alone defeat him.
Boom*
The next moment, a massive explosion erupted in the arena, causing the surrounding barrier to crack slightly, prompting the elders to infuse more Yuan Qi to repair it. Su Yan's attack had far exceeded the power of someone at her level and could have injured even the elders.
