In a flash, multiple forces within Shui Wuya surged uncontrollably, leaving him no time to react as they burst out of his body!

"Boom!"

With a thunderous roar, the unchecked powers erupted into an earth-shattering explosion. At the epicenter, Shui Wuya could feel the terrifying force of the blast, enough to inflict severe injuries on him.

In this critical moment, Shui Wuya quickly regained his composure. He traced a line in mid-air with his fingertip, summoning a multi-colored celestial robe that enveloped him.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The devastating explosion instantly reduced the grand hall of his palace to ashes, and the surrounding greenery within hundreds of meters was scorched to cinders.

Fortunately, no one lived near the palace; otherwise, they would have perished on the spot.

Within moments, the blast's power swept through the entire Earth Dragon Sect, collapsing numerous buildings into rubble and waking many sleeping disciples.

As the explosion continued, alarmed Earth Dragon Sect experts flew skyward to investigate. They barely had time to grasp what was happening before a monstrous cold wave followed.

At Shui Wuya's location, an uncontrolled surge of extreme frost rapidly spread across the entire Earth Dragon Sect, creating mountains of ice out of thin air. Everything, from plants to living beings, was instantly frozen into sculptures.

In the sky, Nan Shuishui and other Earth Dragon Sect experts, stricken with terror, fled frantically in the opposite direction of the oncoming frost.

Those who had been abruptly awakened and unprepared were all turned into ice statues.

In just a few breaths, the entire Earth Dragon Sect was encased in ice! At the explosion's epicenter, Shui Wuya, protected by his celestial robe, remained unscathed.

As he ascended and surveyed the frozen Earth Dragon Sect, a look of disbelief crossed his face.

"Did I do this?"

Releasing his spiritual power, Shui Wuya confirmed that, despite the ice, no one had died. He sighed in relief, knowing the freezing power wasn't lethal and could be undone promptly.

At that moment, Nan Shuishui and the others, who had escaped, returned to find Shui Wuya in his celestial robe.

"Clan Leader, what happened here?"

Nan Shuishui's face was still etched with fear, looking at Shui Wuya with bewildered eyes. The five or six experts behind him were equally terrified and confused.

Had they been slower in their escape, they would have become ice statues too.

"It was an accident."

Feeling embarrassed, Shui Wuya began to explain.

After a few moments, Nan Shuishui and the others understood that the cataclysm was due to Shui Wuya's attempt to create a new soul technique. Yet, instead of easing their fear, it only grew stronger.

Their gazes now saw Shui Wuya not as a human soul master but as an immensely powerful and terrifying beast.

They couldn't fathom the extent of Shui Wuya's strength!

"I'll lift the ice now."

Knowing his explanation was insufficient, Shui Wuya sighed, shaking his head. He then activated his soul power, transforming into his true martial spirit.

A massive ice phoenix, ten meters tall, opened its mouth in the sky, unleashing a force like a whale swallowing the sea, rapidly absorbing the freezing power within the Earth Dragon Sect.

Finally, after nearly dozens of breaths, the icy power that had filled the Earth Dragon Sect was completely absorbed by Shui Wuya in his true ice phoenix form.

The previously frozen buildings and disciples returned to normal, albeit soaking wet.

"What just happened? Why are we all drenched?"

"It seemed like a massive explosion!"

"That's right, there was a huge bang outside, and then we were frozen!"

The newly freed disciples of the Earth Dragon Sect quickly began discussing the recent events, all looking visibly shaken. A few who had just woken up were bewildered, having no idea what had transpired.

Of course, except for Nan Shuishui and a few others, the rest of the Earth Dragon Sect elders and disciples had no clue that they had just narrowly escaped death.

"Clan Leader, are you alright?"

At this moment, the five guards from the Tianshui Sect who had been sent to protect Shui Wuya quickly ascended and approached him once the ice was lifted.

"I'm fine."

Shui Wuya waved, indicating his safety, and then turned his gaze back to Nan Shuishui and the others.

"It was my misjudgment that caused the Earth Dragon Sect to suffer this disaster. To express my apologies, the Earth Dragon Sect can select three disciples to train in the Shui family."

Shui Wuya clasped his fists and bowed to Nan Shuishui and the others.

After all, the Earth Dragon Sect had endured a calamity without cause. Though there were no casualties, Shui Wuya was not a person lacking in compassion.

"I have already checked with my spiritual power, and no disciples of the Earth Dragon Sect were harmed. Please, Clan Leader, do not blame yourself."

After a brief moment of panic, Nan Shuishui regained her composure, returning to her dignified demeanor as the sect leader.

The elders behind her, upon hearing that Shui Wuya had decided to increase the number of Earth Dragon Sect disciples allowed to train with the Shui family, quickly let go of their fear.

Soon, under Nan Shuishui's guidance, the entire Earth Dragon Sect began the task of cleaning and repairing the damaged buildings.

Although there were no fatalities from the explosion and cold wave, many buildings had collapsed.

During this period, the disciples learned that the explosion and cold wave were due to Shui Wuya's attempt to create a new soul technique!

Instantly, instead of resenting Shui Wuya, the disciples felt immense admiration for him.

"Just a failed attempt at creating a soul technique resulted in freezing the entire Earth Dragon Sect. The Clan Leader truly deserves his reputation as someone who has personally slain an Ultimate Douluo!"

"As soul masters, we should aspire to be as formidable as the Clan Leader!"

"No way, I must win a place in the Shui family training through the challenge tomorrow. I want to be as strong as the Clan Leader!"

"…"

The sudden incident sparked a newfound desire among many Earth Dragon Sect disciples to train with the Shui family, fueling their competitive spirit for the upcoming challenge!
