"Teacher, how did Su Ming become so powerful? Even if we use the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill, we still can't reach that level, right?" Tang San felt lost. How could Su Ming possess such overwhelming strength?

"Xiao San, did you notice the markings at the corners of Su Ming's eyes? He's likely using some secret technique that temporarily boosts his strength. I don't believe this technique can be sustained for long—perhaps he won't be able to use it in our match," Yu Xiaogang's eyes gleamed with confidence, believing he had figured everything out.

Indeed, Su Ming's displayed strength was far beyond his usual level, so maintaining it for long seemed impossible. He probably had to force this power out to counter Tianshui Academy's triple fusion, which might come with serious side effects.

The members of Thunder Academy felt somewhat relieved, thinking that Su Ming's power couldn't be so easily sustained. However, they couldn't shake a lingering doubt.

Tang San, though, was more wary. He didn't think this secret technique had severe side effects because, if he remembered correctly, Su Ming had used it once at the Great Battle Arena in Soto. But it had been the only time; perhaps there was indeed some limitation.

Su Ming, internally: Oh, you're overthinking it. I simply haven't met anyone worth using this move on.

On the battlefield:

After activating Sage Mode, Su Ming leaped to the center of the wood golem's forehead, entering its Wood Release chamber, which allowed him to better command and control it.

"Come on, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu. Show me the true power of your Martial Spirit Fusion Skill!" Su Ming said calmly.

The fact that the three could execute a fusion skill was unexpected, but even so, they were not his equals.

"Sister, Su Ming's move is so powerful!" Shui Yue'er, within the Snow Maiden, looked at Su Ming with admiration, her eyes sparkling.

Her fondness for Su Ming only grew; he was incredibly commanding and strong!

Shui Bing'er felt a touch of frustration. They had hoped their trump card could threaten Su Ming, but it seemed they were too naive.

"Let's not assume defeat before the fight," Xue Wu said coolly. "With the surrounding ice elements sustaining us, our energy drain is minimal. We can keep up a long-term battle!"

"And in terms of elemental advantage, we have the upper hand!"

Shui Bing'er nodded solemnly. She gathered as much of the surrounding ice energy as possible, preparing to unleash their ultimate attack.

Su Ming sensed the shift in the aura of the "Snow Maiden" in front of him; they were preparing to attack.

"Absolute Zero - Boundless Freeze!"

At the moment of their ultimate move, it was as if the air within the arena froze. A wave of cold visibly spread outward, and within moments, Su Ming's massive wood golem was encased in a giant transparent ice crystal, immobilized.

The Snow Maiden appeared somewhat translucent now, as the move had drained most of Shui Bing'er and her partners' spirit power, drawing in almost all the ice elements around them.

This was their strongest attack!

Shui Bing'er hadn't intended to engage in a long fight with Su Ming. This was only a competition, and she was content with their current rank, but she wanted to see if their strongest attack could defeat him.

If not, then defeat was inevitable.

Moreover, she didn't believe Su Ming would give them the chance for a prolonged fight. His wood golem was colossal, with powerful strength and defense, and combined with his other Wood Release techniques, evading his moves would be nearly impossible. Better to go all in!

"Brother!"

"Su Ming!"

In the Heaven Dou team's resting area, Xiao Wu and the others couldn't help but exclaim in shock. Shui Bing'er's move had caught everyone off guard, freezing Su Ming in an instant.

However, Ye Lingling remained calm. "Don't worry; I can still sense Su Ming's and the golem's strong life force. Shui Bing'er's attack probably didn't restrain him for long."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement. "Yeah, don't underestimate Su Ming. He'll definitely break free from this ice!"

"Hahaha! I told you, Su Ming was overconfident. Looks like Tianshui Academy won!"

"I agree. Su Ming's wood golem is just for show. Wood is still wood—it can't compete with such formidable ice!"

While the crowd debated excitedly, Su Yuntao, standing by the arena, hesitated. Should this count as a victory for Tianshui Academy? But what if Su Ming could still fight back?

He looked over at the two titled elders for guidance.

"Elders, do you think we should declare the match over? The audience seems to think we should." Su Yuntao, the blind judge, asked cautiously.

"Not yet. It's only been a few seconds; be patient. Look!" Chrysanthemum Douluo pointed toward the ice on the arena.

Following his gaze, Su Yuntao noticed cracks forming in the ice around the golem, spreading at a rapid pace!

Boom!

The massive ice crystal shattered, revealing the wood golem.

"Cough… Shui Bing'er, your technique is impressive, but it won't hold me. Now, it's my turn to counterattack," Su Ming said calmly.

"Go!"

The wooden dragon coiled around the golem's neck detached and lunged at the Snow Maiden, aiming to bite her midsection.

The golem then stomped forward, causing thick branches to sprout from the ground, binding the Snow Maiden's limbs.

Shui Bing'er and her partners felt their spirit power rapidly depleting as they were caught by the wooden dragon's jaws.

Already low on spirit power, they had no time to replenish it. They were in trouble.

In less than three seconds, the ethereal Snow Maiden began to dissipate under the dragon's bite.

"No! Not my Snow Maiden!"

A few anguished cries echoed from the audience; they hadn't gotten enough of the Snow Maiden's beauty, and now she was gone.

With Shui Bing'er's fusion skill broken, the wooden dragon opened its massive maw, sucking in the surrounding frost and ice, and the arena returned to normal.
