Shui Bing'er and the others all felt that Xiao Jiu was too arrogant, the best way to face such a fierce attack was to avoid it, even if they used a spirit skill like an ice shield to resist, they would still be smashed by the punch.
"Would he really not retreat one step?" Shui Yue'er arched her beautiful eyes and turned her head to ponder what he would do next!
"Bragging rights! Surely he'll run faster than an ice rabbit in a moment!" Xue Wu bristled, mentally cheering for her teacher to run over the bastard!
As all eyes were fixed on Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu raised his hand and formed an ice mirror with ice above his head, the mirror turned and a strong sunlight was reflected and pierced in Leng Qin's eyes.
"Ah!"
Leng Qin grunted in pain, her eyes felt instantly blinded.
Xiao Jiu laughed, this was as powerful as a flashbang!
Then Xiao Jiu's ice power was unleashed, and a huge ice cone rose from the ground, pouring 60 degrees, the tips of the ice cone were all facing Leng Qin, this was derived from the wooden spikes specially used against heavy armoured cavalry, these ice cones were stronger and sharper than wooden spikes.
Leng Qin, who was temporarily blinded, had no idea what was happening before her eyes and crashed headlong into it.
Boom!
Leng Qin's terrifying impulse made these ice cones even more powerful, and she crashed into them, shattering the ice armour all over her body and nearly piercing her body with the ice cones.
Leng Qin felt as if the bones in her whole body had been shattered. She crushed an ice cone, but still could not sprint on Xiao Jiu before her kinetic energy was exhausted and she had to stop.
As her eyes regained their light, Xiao Jiu popped out a hand and grabbed her directly by the neck, lifting her up with one hand.
"Spirit Power Empty? Don't you don't know how to use it! Pathetic!"
Xiao Jiu spoke indifferently, then with a forceful fling, Leng Qin was smashed onto the ice, Xiao Jiu carried his sword and snorted with a wipe of the blade, "If you were fighting for your life, you would already be dead!"
Xue Wu looked dumbfounded, in total disbelief that her teacher, had been defeated just like that!
"He really didn't move a single step!" Shui Yue'er exclaimed.
Shui Bing'er bit her thin lips as she looked at Xiao Jiu with awe! First, he used ice to refract the sunlight, making Leng Qin teacher blind, then he created an ice cone, making Leng Qin teacher nearly run himself to death, such a novel way of thinking about fighting, it took her breath away!
Leng Qin was even more astonished, she felt that since the beginning, Xiao Jiu had not used more spirit power than her, yet she was completely defeated, she bowed deeply towards Xiao Jiu and said, "I have lost! From now on, you are the leader of the Skywater Battle Team!"
Shui Xin Rou didn't expect the Ice Domain to have such a powerful battle force, and most importantly, Xiao Jiu's tactics were so arcane that she felt she had made a wise decision in keeping Xiao Jiu!
"Now that you have met your leader! You have to learn more from him, not just for the Spirit Master Competition, his fighting style leans towards practical combat, which will help you a lot in the future, when hunting spirit beasts and fighting people again, you can often take them by surprise!"
Shui Xinrou gave Shui Bing'er a look.
Although Shui Bing'er was angry just by looking at Xiao Jiu, she still led the girls of the battle group and bowed respectfully towards Xiao Jiu: "Please instruct, leader!"
After the salute, Shui Yue'er smiled cheekily and said, "Brother Jiu, you can't hide anything from me! If you teach me well, maybe my sister will give herself to you!"
"Yue'er!" Shui Bing'er was so embarrassed that she was about to pinch her, and several girls suddenly started a gossip.
Shui Xinrou narrowed her eyes at these fiery students and the corners of her mouth curled into a gentle smile.
"Alright, now I'll tell you all about what ice is and what a true ice spirit master is!"
Xiao Jiu clapped his hands, gesturing for everyone to calm down.
"Ice, has five main characteristics: cold, frozen, hard, sharp, and shaping!"
"Cold can delay the enemy at range! Freezing can instantly control the enemy, the hard attribute can be used for defence, the sharp attribute can be used for attack, and the shaping feature can change the battle environment and unleash a powerful spirit skill!"
"So a good ice spirit master must be the strongest control spirit master, bar none! And possesses strong defensive and offensive power itself!"
"Just now, I was able to easily put my opponent in a difficult situation by using the characteristics of Shaping to the extreme, and if I use the five characteristics to the extreme, you can imagine how powerful it will be!"
Xiao Jiu's words instantly enlightened Shui Bing'er and the others!
They had never heard such a systematic explanation before, and their eyes widened, even Leng Qin, a Spirit Saint, felt a renewed understanding of ice!
"As expected of someone who has the Domain of Ice, you have made me, a Spirit Master who uses water, feel a sense of admiration for you!" Shui Xinrou couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Xiao Jiu turned to the Skywater Battle Team and said, "My first request for you is to improve your control over ice and comprehend your own self-created spirit skills!"
"Self-created spirit skills? How do you create your own skill?" Shui Yue'er asked anxiously, creating her own spirit skills was a sign of becoming a strong person, it was said that that Feng Xiaotian of the Divine Wind Academy had created his own spirit skills.
Shui Bing'er also had an eager face, and Xue Wu and the others had even more burning eyes.
Xiao Jiu laughed, "Then take Shui Bing'er's first spirit skill, Ice Seal!"
"An ordinary ice seal is to directly freeze a person, but such a restriction cannot cause more damage at all, instead it will drain your own spirit power. However, if you can control your Ice Seal skill and only release it against a person's joints, as I just did, then you can indirectly cause displacement of your enemy! It can also put him in a more dangerous situation!"
Shui Bing'er's eyes lit up as she gently nodded and said, "I see!"
Xiao Jiu continued, "So, Shui Bing'er's second spirit skill, Ice Ring Armor, why must you condense a full body armor? You can just target the enemy's attack and condense a part of it! It can save spirit power, and also allow the defense to follow your heart to change the strength of the defense, so that the enemy cannot judge your defense power!"
Shui Bing'er's heart was shocked, to be able to create her own spirit skill with this skill, Ice Ring Armour, Xiao Jiu's understanding of spirit skills was too terrifying!
"Then, what about my third spirit skill? What other spirit skills did you create yourself?"
Xiao Jiu smiled, "That you can see for yourself!"
The power of ice was activated, an ice ring formed on Xiao Jiu's body, then the ice ring started to deform, the edges were sharp as Xiao Jiu was using his spirit power to force one.
"Self-created spirit skill, Resist Ice Blade!"
The ice ring exploded into flying ice blades that quickly shot in all directions, and with a snort, it directly dissolved the ice layer around it.
The crowd's eyes widened, this turned a control skill into an attack skill!
"Also, if you think the ice blade is bad, you can still plasticize it into an ice cone!"
Xiao Jiu once again sent out a resisting ice ring, and this time the sky was filled with a flying ice pick that snorted and zapped the ground.
The girls covered their red lips with adoration! Any skill can be played with! If anyone got close enough to do that, they would be shot into a sieve!
Xiao Jiu turned to Shui Bing'er and said, "Your martial spirit is the Ice Phoenix, but you can't control it, it's not that your spirit power level isn't enough, it's that your understanding and control of ice isn't enough!"
Xiao Jiu stretched out his hand, and the ice power in his hand condensed a small bird, which gradually grew into an ice peacock, and then evolved again to an ice phoenix, which stretched its feathers and fluttered its big spiritful eyes, and walked up to Shui Bing'er's body.
Shui Bing'er was amazed and used her hand to stroke it. Like a spirit beast, the ice phoenix twitched its feathers comfortably as Shui Bing'er stroked it, and finally rubbed its face against Shui Bing'er's, squinting its eyes in comfort.
Shui Bing'er was shocked to find that she could feel the feathers of the Ice Phoenix there, just like the real thing.
"Brother Jiu, are you trying to kiss my sister? Why do you need to let an ice phoenix come, you do it yourself, my sister probably won't refuse!" Shui Yue'er grinned cheekily.
Shui Bing'er was dumbfounded, her face suddenly turned red and she gave Xiao Jiu a fierce glare.
Xiao Jiu rubbed his nose and said, "Tonight, come to my room again? I promise not to scream this time!"
"Go to hell!"
Shui Bing'er was furious as she picked off a piece of ice and smashed it into Xiao Jiu's face.
Shui Xinrou and the others couldn't help but laugh, making Shui Bing'er incomparably ashamed, thinking that she would never go to Xiao Jiu's room even if she was beaten to death again.
Night.
Cultivating, Shui Bing'er suddenly felt another powerful field of ice, this time even more terrifying than before.
"What is this bastard doing? Should I go and have a look?"
Curiosity drove her to put on her clothes and quietly sneak into Xiao Jiu's room again.
Xiao Jiu was cultivating at the moment, he opened the Ice Domain while carefully experiencing the difference between this Wood Power and Ice Power, trying to reach out and comprehend the Wood Domain.
Shui Bing'er bit her red lips, her mind told her to go back to her room immediately, but if she cultivated here, she might be able to comprehend the Ice Domain! Even if she couldn't, it would be of great benefit to her in cultivating her spirit power and her mastery of ice!
She now understood what her teacher meant by taking advantage of her!
But what if she became too obsessed with her cultivation and lost track of time?
In her heart, Shui Bing'er kept urging herself to hurry up and get out, but her body was still honest enough to enter the cultivation state.
In an instant, Shui Bing'er felt like she was in the world of ice and snow again, and she roamed freely in the world of ice.
Morning.
"Sister! Why don't you just stay here!"
A handful of hair gently raked across Shui Bing'er's face, and she jerked awake to find Shui Yue'er looking at herself with a wry expression.
"Ah!"
Shui Bing'er exclaimed, she had unknowingly leaned on Xiao Jiu's shoulder, after all, the closer she was to Xiao Jiu, the better her cultivation would be.
Her face instantly turned red and she got up to cover Shui Yue'er's mouth, to hurry up and escape from here.
"I say, you've been leaning on me all night, my shoulders are sore, aren't you going to rub them for me? If you don't do that, I'll have to lock the door tonight!"
Xiao Jiu shook his shoulders and looked at Shui Bing'er with a smirk.
"You!"
Shui Bing'er was so embarrassed that she picked up her pillow and smashed it towards Xiao Jiu!
"Don't lock the door at night!"
Shui Bing'er dropped an exasperated sentence and fled as if she was running away! In her heart, she thought, "If you live in my room and sleep in my bed, don't you have to pay some rent?
Yes, I'll use you as a mimetic training ground!
When she thought about it, Bing'er took it for granted and convinced herself! I'll come back tonight!
A month later.
Shui Bing'er's mastery of ice in Xiao Jiu's Domain of Ice had progressed rapidly, and her first spirit skill, Ice Seal, was fully capable of performing a partial ice seal, cultivating her own self-created spirit skill.
Moreover, Shui Bing'er could also perfectly control the Ice Phoenix Martial Spirit, and most importantly, having learned many practical combat techniques from Xiao Jiu, she felt that her strength had made a qualitative leap!
This morning, Shui Yue'er brought back a sumptuous breakfast from the restaurant and pushed open the door to Xiao Jiu's room straight away.
Somewhat speechlessly, she looked at a pair of cultivating maniacs who were still cultivating with their backs to each other.
"I say, you two, it's time to eat! Today, we're going to Shrek Academy to exchange!"
Xiao Jiu snapped his eyes open and rushed out of his room to wash up, finally he could see Zhu Zhuqing, and he wondered how she had been doing lately?
When the Domain of Ice was suddenly gone and Shui Bing'er opened her eyes, Shui Yue'er came over and whispered, "Look at his monkey face, I heard that, there are three big beauties in Shrek! Sister, you've got some strong competition!"
"What's it to me?" Shui Bing'er said indifferently.
"Cut! When you guys stay together all day and night, is it really just about cultivation? It's not even a secret that you guys are living together!"
Shui Yue'er said quietly, just as she finished speaking she felt a fierce pinch, Shui Bing'er said in exasperation, "Wasn't it you who spread the rumour, who else knew I was here at night?"
"Sis, you've changed, you actually hit me for a boy!"
"I think you've got itchy skin!"
The two sisters were instantly frolicking together, which left Xiao Jiu who had returned quite speechless, I'm a guy, you guys really think I don't exist!
...
The entrance to Shrek Academy.
Flender was dressed very formally today, leading the students and teachers to prepare to welcome the group from Skywater Academy. Liu Erlong elbowed Flender and said, "Today, behave yourself, don't disgrace me! Put away that money-grubbing look of yours and have the grace of a dean!"
Soon, three luxurious carriages drove by.
Flender's eyes lit up and said, "Skywater Academy is really rich!"
Liu Erlong frowned, then fiercely stepped on Flender's foot, squeezing a few words out of his teeth, "Don't let me hear the word money again!"
After stepping on it, he immediately greeted it with a valiant smile and helped Shui Xinrou off the carriage, "Sister Shui, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year!"
Liu Erlong took Shui Xinrou's arm, then brought it to Flender's heel and said, "This is my big brother I've been telling you about, the Flying Horn of our Golden Iron Triangle, level 81 Roc Spirit Douluo, Flender!"
"My big brother has always been single, oh! He admires Sister Shui a lot and has been thinking of meeting her!"
After saying that, Liu Erlong gave Flender a fierce wink.
Flender pushed up his eyes, then gracefully bowed and said, "I have seen the beautiful lady!"
Shui Xinrou also returned the salute with a serene smile, at this time Xiaojiu got down from the car, saw Flender smiling and asked with a big grin, "Are you trying to chase our dean? If you get a 50,000 year old pure wind attribute, or pure earth attribute leg spirit bone for me, I can be your inside man! You're guaranteed to hold a beautiful woman!"
Shui Xinrou was dumbfounded, she was sold out like that?
Liu Erlong, on the other hand, laughed out loud, "This kid, I like him!"
The corners of Flender's mouth twitched as he said, "That tone of voice feels very familiar!
"Stop it! Xiaojiu!" Shui Xinrou glared at Xiaojiu without good grace.
"Xiaojiu?!" Flender was dumbfounded, looking at Xiao Jiu with this white hair, and different coloured pupils, and that mask covering his mouth, and shook his head with a bitter smile, how could it be Xiao Jiu! He was rumoured to have been decapitated by a sword by the Grand Elder of the Martial Spirit Hall, and his life or death was unknown.
"Well, his name is Brother Jiu" Shui Xin Rou stroked Xiao Jiu's head and said.
"What a lackluster name!" Flender lamented, the person who named it really deserved to be killed!
Xiao Jiu didn't have the time to pay attention to Flender and locked her gaze dead on Zhu Zhuqing, she looked much thinner than before and her face had a pallor that made Xiao Jiu's heart ache.
Xiao Jiu walked forward and smiled, "Beauty, can you show me around Shrek Academy?"
Zhu Zhuqing's face then turned cold and he spat out one word: "Get lost!"
Xiao Jiu rubbed his nose in embarrassment, should he be happy that she was devoted to him? Or should I give her a good beating later?
"Brother Jiu?..."
At this point Wu suddenly popped up, her agate nose sniffing slightly, a touch of confusion leaking from her face, the scent of Xiao Jiu's body was familiar to her, but this current Brother Jiu, it felt a bit familiar, yet completely different!
"Let me show you around Shrek!"
Xiao Wu said with a twinkle in her eye and a smile.
"Wu, when Brother San is away, how can you embarrass other handsome men around like this?" Oscar said with a cheap mouth.
"Hmm? Do you want a taste of my Waist Bow!" Xiao Wu crossed her arms and grunted, scaring Oscar into hurrying and hiding behind Dai Mu Bai.
"Let's go, everyone go in first! When the master's disciples return, we can have an exchange match!"
Flender laughed loudly and greeted the crowd.
As for Xiao Wu, she pulled Xiao Jiu as soon as she could and went to a place where no one was around. She circled around Xiao Jiu a few times, sniffing and sniffing with her cute nose, but in the end, she was still unsure of what she had in mind, and in the end, she simply pulled Xiao Jiu's arm and pressed Xiao Jiu's hand to her head.
"Strange, you obviously smell like him, but it's not right!"
Xiao Wu beamed, distressed, she felt that the person in front of her gave her a very intimate feeling.
At that very moment, an angry shout rang out, "Get your dirty hands off Wu's head!"
In a huff, three or four men rushed out, the man at the head as strong as a small gorilla.
Xiao Jiu was still happy to see Xiao Wu, after all, this girl still knew how to care about herself, but suddenly a group of people he didn't know destroyed this moment, his face was quite ugly.
"Get lost!"
Xiao Jiu pulled his hand back from Xiao Wu's head and shouted angrily towards the people coming.
"Sister Xiao Wu is the one our brother Tyrone has his eye on! You're from an outside school, and you want to steal from our Brother Tyrone, hurry up and get lost!"
Tyrone's little brothers, immediately yelled.
And Xiao Wu was staring at Xiao Jiu, watching how he would respond, and most importantly, seeing what kind of power Xiao Jiu would use!
Xiao Jiu's eyes were cold, had he heard that Tang San was in a mad retreat where Dugu Bo was and hadn't yet cleaned up this guy?
Then he would be just the man to dispatch these mortal fellows for Xiao Wu, trying to chase my sister! Are you guys worthy?
