In the palace of the Dou Ling Empire, a dignified man sat in the grand hall, scowling at the reports laid before him, his brow furrowed.
"These damn rebels! How dare they revolt! Have they forgotten who has provided for them?" the Douluo Emperor roared, gnashing his teeth.
With public discontent rising, all his plans had gone up in smoke.
"How did these peasants learn about the underground black market?" he wondered, his mind racing. He turned to his ministers, demanding, "You useless fools, what is going on here?"
The ministers bowed their heads, too afraid to answer, equally baffled by the sudden upheaval.
One minister, trembling, spoke up, "Your Majesty, could it be the Shui family behind this?"
"The Shui family!?"
"Yes, it must be them!" the Emperor realized, furious. He hadn't anticipated this clever twist of fate.
"Those damn Shui family members! How dare they challenge my rule! They will pay for this!" he roared in impotent rage.
On Sea God Island, in a secluded spot, Shui Wuya and Shui Binger sat cross-legged, meditating. After a moment of contemplation, Shui Wuya opened his eyes, revealing a hint of determination.
"Binger, time is short. We must be prepared," Shui Wuya said firmly.
"Yes," Shui Binger nodded slightly, leaning against him.
In one day, the Ice God would descend. Success or failure would be decided in this single moment.
At the Spirit Hall, Pope Bibi Dong sat on her throne, her expression exuding a cold authority. Around her stood the high-ranking officials of the Spirit Hall, their gazes filled with loyalty and obedience.
Bibi Dong held her scepter, her eyes sweeping over them with disdain. "Prince Xue Xing dares to rebel, and the Star Luo Empire's emperor has declared war on us. Do they think they can overthrow our tyranny by joining forces? How laughable!"
Having just destroyed the Haotian Sect, the Spirit Hall was at its peak.
The Tian Dou Empire, a vassal of the Spirit Hall, had grown bold enough to rebel, clearly seeking its own destruction. As for the Star Luo Empire, its power equal to the Tian Dou Empire, it was not a threat either.
Bibi Dong couldn't comprehend where these two empires found the courage to oppose the Spirit Hall. Did they believe their armies outnumbered hers?
Bibi Dong let out a disdainful laugh, her eyes filled with arrogance and contempt. "Issue my holy decree: full-scale war! Let the Tian Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire witness the consequences of challenging the Spirit Hall!"
A fierce determination ignited within her.
"Yes, Your Holiness!" the crowd responded in unison.
They would use their might to crush all who dared to resist, establishing the Spirit Hall's dominion over the continent!
At the border of the Tian Dou Empire, the fires of war quickly ignited. The armies of the Spirit Hall clashed fiercely with those of the Tian Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
On the battlefield, flesh and blood flew, blades clashed, and the Spirit Hall's forces were significantly outnumbered by the two empires' armies. They quickly fell into a disadvantage.
Despite this, the leaders of the Spirit Hall remained unperturbed, deploying a titled Douluo.
"Heh, it's time to give these ignorant fools a little shock," the titled Douluo said arrogantly.
However, just as he was about to unleash his devastating attack, eight figures descended from the sky, standing before him. These eight were none other than the principals and vice-principals of the Four Elements Academy!
Having completed Binger's divine test, they had all ascended to titled Douluo status.
"When... did this happen?" The high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall were stunned by the power of the eight figures before them.
When did the deans of the Four Elements Academy become titled Douluos?
They had not expected their opponents to have such a powerful trump card.
Descending Dragon Douluo stepped forward with a disdainful tone, "Do not be afraid!"
"These eight are newly promoted titled Douluos; they are no match for us!"
"Follow me and suppress them!"
"Yes!" came the unified response.
With a deafening roar, the titled Douluos of the Spirit Hall charged at the eight.
However, they were quickly taken aback.
"Buzz~"
The eight figures' spirit rings unfolded, black and red lights illuminating the sky. All of their spirit rings were at least ten thousand years old, and the leading two even had hundred-thousand-year spirit rings!
What they thought would be an easy battle turned out to be far more challenging than expected.
"How is this possible!?" The Spirit Hall's titled Douluos felt a chill in their hearts.
"Let's use our martial spirit fusion!"
The dean of Tianshui Academy, feeling the immense power within, was excited along with the other seven. They deeply understood the power bestowed upon them by the Ice God's divine test, and they were filled with confidence.
"Alright, let's show them what we can do!"
"Ice Phoenix Descends!"
Facing the Spirit Hall's army, the dean and vice-dean of Tianshui Academy executed their martial spirit fusion technique with perfect coordination. Their forms transformed into a massive Ice Phoenix, its wings unfurled, exuding a formidable ice power!
As the Ice Phoenix spread its wings, it seemed like ice and snow ruled the sky, emanating an imposing aura. The frigid air spread across the battlefield, encasing the enemy in ice.
Meanwhile, on Sea God Island, Shui Wuya sensed the manifestation of the Ice Phoenix from the distant battlefield and felt a tightness in his chest.
He understood the battle was intensifying.
Although the eight deans were powerful, the Spirit Hall was not to be underestimated.
He was slightly worried that the eight deans might not withstand the Spirit Hall's forces.
His plan allowed no room for error.
Seeing his concern, Shui Binger approached him and softly reassured, "Don't worry, Wuya. The armies of the Tian Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire are stronger than the Spirit Halll. They will provide enough support for the eight deans. Plus, the deans have all passed my divine test. Even if they can't win, they can at least hold off the enemy's top forces."
Hearing this, Shui Wuya nodded in agreement.
The eight deans didn't need to win; they only needed to hold out until reinforcements arrived. That was their mission.
On the battlefield, as the Ice Phoenix descended, icy winds howled and crisscrossed, enveloping Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo of the Spirit Hall.
Confident in their abilities, the two titled Douluos activated their Yin-Yang Stillness Field, attempting to stop the Ice Phoenix's assault. But they quickly found their field shattered by the icy wind, rendering it ineffective.
The high-ranking officials of the Spirit Hall were in shock!
They had thought they could easily crush their opponents but were now facing an unexpected and formidable challenge.
"What is happening?"
One of the Spirit Hall's titled Douluos muttered in disbelief.
"What is this Ice Phoenix, and why is it so powerful?" Another titled Douluo furrowed his brow in concern.
