High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 352 - 291: Elemental Talent, Frost Domain, Earth Dragon Flipping Over! (Part 2)
The flashbulbs flashed continuously, and many spectators in the arena started to take out their phones to snap photos. This battle would be the de facto semi-final, with the final victor facing Su Mu for the last battle.
Ye Wanqing, dressed in white as pure as snow, manifested an ice-blue long spear instantly, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet drastically, with icy breath spreading beneath her feet, showing signs of frost forming.
Dao Jiu’s black martial robe billowed without wind, with a hidden whirlwind circulating around him. He stood on the field, giving an impression akin to a Divine Soldier blade about to be unsheathed.
Standing between the two, the female Grandmaster of the Martial Arts Association sensed a powerful threat. Her flow speed of Qi and Blood quickened instantly, a natural reaction.
"I declare this battle begins!"
As the words fell.
Ye Wanqing moved. Silver radiance flickered in her eyes as she slightly opened her mouth, swallowing the surrounding air in an instant, and icy breath spread.
Immediately, snowflakes started drifting from the sky.
"You are very strong, and I won’t hold back."
"Good," Dao Jiu nodded.
During their conversation, the arena rang with subtle cracking sounds as frost consolidated beneath Ye Wanqing’s feet, with the white ice surface spreading rapidly across.
In the next instant.
Ye Wanqing’s figure flickered, and the cold breath in the sky transformed, condensing into a gigantic Ice Sparrow.
A point of coldness arrived first, the spear moved like a dragon.
As the Ice Sparrow opened its eyes, a loud cry echoed on the mountain summit. Then, with a beat of its wings, it swept through the cold air, transforming into countless ice cones shooting towards Dao Jiu.
The aftermath of the cold breath spread to the edges of the Martial Arts Arena, causing several Sixth Level Martial Artists to shiver suddenly, with white frost forming on their eyebrows as they gasped in horror, instantly channeling their internal Qi and Blood to dispel the invading cold.
A glimmer of surprise flashed in Dao Jiu’s eyes as his hand fell on the handle of his saber, ready to draw it and slash at the sparrow.
Buzz! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Among a few sparks, the ancient-looking long saber was drawn.
A fierce and heavy Sword Momentum erupted from Dao Jiu, with several meters of Blade Qi spewing from the long saber, slashing at the incoming Ice Sparrow in a simple yet powerful slash.
The saber drawn instantaneously morphed into an enormous crescent Blade Qi exceeding ten meters.
Under the Blade Qi, the Ice Sparrow was instantly cleaved in two.
The myriad ice cones were slashed, falling to the ground.
In the sound of clattering.
A sharp, cold spear radiance pierced through the resplendent Blade Qi, the spear tip like a mighty dragon stabbed forth.
Dao Jiu’s expression remained unchanged, as he struck out with another slash.
Clang!
The saber and spear collided fiercely, emitting a terrifying explosion of sound that caused many hearts in the arena to momentarily stop.
"So strong!"
Gu Chen felt the power of their confrontation, his expression mixed with awe and melancholy. He had once been defeated by this move from Ye Wanqing, and now the same move in Ye Wanqing’s hands was even stronger. Yet Ye Wanqing hadn’t even activated the Three Flowers.
Facing this terrifying spear, Dao Jiu casually struck out with a slash.
"Against these two... I’m afraid I’d be defeated with just one move."
At this moment, Gu Chen couldn’t help but let out a muffled grunt, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. His Martial Arts Heart, which had recently healed, cracked once more, a scene not uncommon among many Celestial Prides present on the field.
Blade Qi interweaved, and the spear radiance was chilling.
Dao Jiu stood his ground as Ye Wanqing’s long spear continuously attacked. The speed at which they struck was astonishing, so fast that it was difficult for the naked eye to catch, exchanging blows over a dozen times in mere moments.
Usually, it was after they clashed that a series of saber and spear collision sounds erupted.
On the field, Ye Wanqing struck out with another spear, the Ice Sparrow cried towards the sky, and the temperature on the field dropped precipitously once more.
"This move is useless against me."
Dao Jiu shook his head, drawing his saber to slash once more, the overpowering Sword Momentum relentless in tyranny. Amidst a mournful cry, the robust Blade Qi cleaved the attacking Ice Sparrow into two yet again.
Yet this time...
An abrupt change occurred.
As the two figures crossed paths for an instant, a piercing cold pierced into Dao Jiu’s body suddenly, causing everyone’s pupils to contract as they witnessed a terrifying scene.
With the sound of cracking.
Dao Jiu’s half body instantly froze into ice.
Then three large lotus flowers bloomed as Ye Wanqing instantly activated the Three Flowers fully, a terrifying aura permeating the entire arena. Ye Wanqing gazed at Dao Jiu, half turned into an ice sculpture, with a trace of pride flashing in her eyes.
As she raised a hand, the icy breath filling the whole scene lifted her entire body up. That all-surrounding chill became Ye Wanqing’s Frost Domain.
And she was the Divine Spirit of that Frost Domain.
The cold air emanating from the Ice Sparrow previously slain by Dao Jiu converged into her hand.
As she raised a hand, the sky suddenly darkened.
A gigantic Ice Spear over twenty meters in length slowly coalesced.
"This is not simply activating the Ice Rule, but directly controlling the Ice Element... This is Elemental Talent!"
"What an impressive younger generation; even a Martial Saint Disciple is on the verge of defeat, showcasing astonishing combat talent. All Ye Wanqing just did was in preparation for this killer move!" Elder Grandmaster couldn’t help but exclaim.
"What’s Elemental Talent?" Bai Ji asked.
"A very few Martial Artists are innately awakened to some Martial Arts Talent."
"Elemental Talent Martial Artists are even scarcer than Spiritual Type ones. These talented Martial Artists are innately attuned to a Rule Power, enabling them to control a certain Elemental Power, such as Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Ice, and Thunder. Elemental Talent Martial Artists show more advantage after becoming Grandmasters, finding it easier to comprehend Rule Power and master Rule Breathing Techniques compared to ordinary Martial Artists."
"Moreover, when activating the corresponding Rule Power and Breathing Techniques, it’s not only easier, but the power also gets a substantial increase!"
