And at this moment.

On the arena.

Su Muyu and Fang Ruxue stood opposite each other. Su Muyu wore a fiery red magic robe, with a face like a peach blossom, her long hair draping down, combining charm with purity.

Fang Ruxue, on the other hand, wore a plain white magic robe, with pale blue snowflake patterns embroidered on the hem and cuffs, appearing fresh and elegant.

Her dark hair was pinned up with a white jade hairpin, with a few strands hanging down her cheeks, adding a touch of liveliness.

In her hand, she held an array plate emitting a gentle blue glow, with intricate and delicate patterns like flowing water.

Su Muyu looked at the equally beautiful Fang Ruxue opposite her and suddenly recalled what she had said to Shen Fei before.

She couldn’t help but laugh.

Fang Ruxue’s expression was grave as she stepped onto the stage, knowing that Shen Fei and Su Muyu had a special tool between them.

Now Su Muyu’s level should be higher than hers.

This was going to be a fierce battle.

But when she heard Su Muyu’s laughter, her grave expression froze, and then her face flushed red, "What are you laughing at?"

"Looking down on me?"

Su Muyu quickly waved her hand, saying, "I just remembered something happy."

"What happy thing?"

Fang Ruxue frowned deeply; business was business, and private matters were private. Although in the Innovation Association, Su Muyu was considered her superior.

But it didn’t mean she didn’t see Su Muyu as a rival.

In her eyes, Su Muyu’s inexplicable laughter was a bit condescending.

Su Muyu waved it off, "It’s nothing, let’s begin."

Su Muyu straightened her emotions and began to get serious.

Fang Ruxue murmured, "How strange."

Next moment

Fang Ruxue took the initiative. She lightly opened her cherry lips and began chanting a spell, her voice crisp yet filled with endless spiritual power.

As the spell was recited, the array plate in her hand slowly rose, floating in mid-air. On the array plate, the blue light bloomed, with lines of blue light like spiritual snakes moving around the arena.

In the blink of an eye.

The entire arena was enveloped by a giant ice and snow array, the temperature within dropped sharply, and the moisture in the air quickly condensed into ice crystals, falling down like being in a snowy world.

"Frost Flower Array, rise!" Fang Ruxue shouted, and the ice crystals transformed into countless sharp ice spikes, shooting towards Su Muyu.

The ice spikes, reflecting the sunlight, shimmered with dazzling cold light, densely packed, covering the sky.

Su Muyu merely lifted an eyebrow, calmly raised her magic staff, and with a flick.

A surge of green flame gushed from her body, swirling around her, rapidly starting to melt the ice spikes as they neared the Fire of Evil Power.

Countless ice beams, yet the Fire of Evil Power blocked them all, the ice and snow constantly melting.

Instantly, the Fire of Evil Power occupied the arena’s surroundings.

"Fang Ruxue, it seems you still haven’t improved enough recently."

Su Muyu’s voice carried a hint of a laugh.

The surrounding spectators marveled at this scene, all exclaiming in astonishment.

Someone widened their eyes, full of disbelief: "Su Muyu’s skills are so strong, to resolve Fang Ruxue’s attack so easily."

Fang Ruxue furrowed her brows slightly, knowing she couldn’t underestimate Su Muyu.

She sped up the array formation, with more complex hand gestures.

Thanks to her talent "One Thought Becomes Array," she didn’t need as much time as other array masters to set up arrays.

In the ice and snow array, several giant ice sculptures emerged, vivid and fierce, resembling imposing snow beasts.

The snow beasts roared and charged at Su Muyu, each step leaving deep ice marks on the ground.

Su Muyu’s lips curved into a smile, she swung her magic staff, drawing a black circle in front of her.

Around her, the Fire of Evil Power gathered into the circle, forming a huge Flame Demon, vast nearly eight meters.

The Flame Demon surrounded by the Fire of Evil Power carried a destructive aura.

The Flame Demon clashed with the snow beasts, emitting a "sizzle" sound, the ice sculpture snow beasts gradually melting in the flames, while the Flame Demon remained unaffected.

The audience again burst into an uproar, someone exclaiming: "That Flame Demon could crush me with one punch, where did they find this freshman so amazing?"

Freshmen shouted in disbelief, this battle was of a completely different intensity than those before.

Some juniors from other schools might not withstand these moves.

Fang Ruxue gritted her teeth, continuously pouring her mana into the array plate.

Meanwhile

Huge ice cracks appeared in the arena, with countless ice-blue vines emerging to bind the Flame Demon.

The entire ice and snow array emitted a brilliant light, and a snowstorm began in the sky, the wind howling.

The snow carried by the wind formed sharp ice blades, sweeping towards the Flame Demon.

’Boom boom boom ——!’

A maddening collision sounded, the Flame Demon was continuously pushed back, while the clash between flames and ice weakened the Flame Demon’s flame.

Turning it into ordinary rock.

And as Fang Ruxue dealt with the Flame Demon, Su Muyu stomped on the ground.

’Doom!’

Next moment.

Countless destructive auras also formed an array in the arena, within the array, gray streams like black dragons pounced towards Fang Ruxue.

"Eternal Array!"

Fang Ruxue quickly manipulated the array, a bright light wall rising around her.

The gray streams crashed against the light wall, reverberating with thunderous roars.

Though the light wall temporarily blocked the gray streams, cracks appeared.

But this brief moment was enough for Fang Ruxue.

Meanwhile.

She swiftly made sealing gestures with both hands, the array plate radiating five-colored light.

’Five Elements Qiankun Array!’

This "Five Elements Qiankun Array" fused the power of five elements, one of Fang Ruxue’s trump cards.

Within the Five Elements Qiankun Array, five-colored beams continuously shot out, interweaving into a massive energy shield, securely protecting Fang Ruxue within.

This shield could automatically adjust defense strength according to attack attributes and had self-repair capability, making it virtually indestructible.

At the same time, various elemental forces surged from the Five Elements Qiankun Array.

The sharp beams were like countless swords flying across the sky; ropes resembling raging serpents dancing wildly, waves roaring; flames scorching the sky; giant stones like falling meteorites.

They began colliding madly with the countless gray streams around, causing the ground-shaking roar.

Sharp beams shattered, ropes snapped, waves evaporated, flames extinguished, huge stones crushed.

Whereas the gray streams remained unchanged.

Continued towards Fang Ruxue’s Five Elements Qiankun Array shield, with the powerful impact causing fierce trembling, the light gradually dimming.

Just when everyone thought Fang Ruxue was about to be defeated.

Fang Ruxue’s gaze focused, a bright light erupted around her again, countless array patterns appeared under her feet, along with a phantom floating in the void.

Simultaneously, the light on the array plate grew brilliant, causing the Five Elements Qiankun Array to transform instantly.

The five-colored light on the shield transformed into a massive Five-Colored Phoenix.

The Five-Colored Phoenix soared high, spraying five-colored beams from its mouth, colliding with the gray streams.

The powerful energy fluctuations caused the entire arena to tremble.
