Chapter 126: Qiu'er's Surprise
Snow Empress still wore her usual icy expression, but given her small, childlike figure, this cold demeanor didn't carry the slightest bit of intimidation. Instead, it made her appear rather cute. Of course, Snow Empress had no desire to appear in the outside world in such a form but what choice did she have?
With Huo Yuhao's current strength, if she were to manifest in her full form, even for a brief moment, it would harm him something she was unwilling to do. She still planned to ascend to godhood alongside Huo Yuhao and change her own fate.
Thus, unless Yuhao demanded it or his life was in danger, she wouldn't unleash her full power at the cost of hurting him.
At this moment, Di Qiu'er stared at Snow Empress in shock. There was something oddly familiar about her, but she couldn't pinpoint why. After all, compared to Snow Empress, Qiu'er was too young.
Snow Empress had nearly seven hundred thousand years of cultivation, whereas Di Qiu'er only had fifteen thousand.
Moreover, Snow Empress was a recluse from the Far North, rarely venturing beyond that frozen, desolate land.
Di Tian, on the other hand, was more of a globe trotting explorer like the Magellan of soul beasts. But he was the exception. Most powerful soul beasts, much like Snow Empress, preferred to stay within their territory.
"This aura…" Di Qiu'er instinctively felt like she was facing an incredibly powerful soul beast, but as soon as this thought entered her mind, she dismissed it.
"That's absurd."
"It's probably some kind of simulated soul skill, like the Ice Jade Scorpion's mimicry technique. That little one must be fake."
"But… this aura is incredibly lifelike. Even the million year soul beast, Tianmeng Iceworm, would have to personally use a mimicry skill to surpass Huo Yuhao in this regard. I remember Di Tian was really pissed when that thing escaped from the Great Star Dou Forest."
She took a deep breath, her golden eyes reflecting her Golden Dragon Spear, which was already soaring toward Huo Yuhao.
Once the spear's teleportation ability activated, she would instantly close the distance and engage in close combat. That would be her guaranteed victory.
Huo Yuhao saw the spear streaking toward him like a golden meteor. He immediately retreated, knowing that casting soul skills required time. Even though he had many abilities, he still needed a moment to unleash them.
At that instant, he thrust his palm forward toward the incoming Golden Dragon Spear. Almost instantly, his right hand turned pure white.
External Soul Bone Skill Snowy Dance of the Frozen Heaven!
In a flash, the once clear sky darkened, and thick snowflakes began falling, swiftly blanketing the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy. The world was engulfed in a sea of white!
For Huo Yuhao, this barely drained any of his soul power since the snowflakes themselves were harmless they merely served as a medium.
It was like Shrek's Mu En, whose domain had a massive coverage area but didn't exhaust him quickly.
By creating this icy battlefield, Yuhao could maximize his Absolute Ice abilities.
"It's snowing?"
Xuan Ziwen looked up, instinctively pulling out some heat insulating soul tools. Though the temperature wasn't too low yet, once Yuhao fully unleashed the power of Absolute Ice, the entire arena would turn into a frozen abyss.
Jing Hongchen's face turned slightly serious. "Looks like Yuhao is getting serious. By creating this environment, he can bring out the full potential of his ice abilities. This match is as good as won Di Qiu'er will lose."
He wasn't worried about interruptions.
Before the match started, he had already stationed Dean Lin Jiayi nearby to block any intruders. If anyone asked, they would be told that Mingde Hall's chief researcher was testing a new soul tool given by Elder Kong and that no spectators were allowed.
Meanwhile, the Golden Dragon Spear wasn't affected by the blizzard at all. It continued to tear through the air toward Huo Yuhao with unstoppable force.
Di Qiu'er, with her keen senses and sharp hearing, caught every word spoken by Xuan Ziwen and Jing Hongchen.
She was displeased.
In the Great Star Dou Forest, she never lost a fight against soul beasts of her level. Against weaker opponents, victory was a given.
So why would she lose here?
Because she had only absorbed fragments of Yuhao's memories, she didn't fully understand him.
She was certain she would win.
A moment later, the Golden Dragon Spear reached Huo Yuhao's defensive soul barrier, causing visible cracks to appear.
"This thing won't hold much longer."
Then, in a golden flash, Di Qiu'er teleported next to the spear, her long golden hair flowing behind her as her fists glowed with a radiant dragon's light.
Twin golden dragon heads appeared around her hands her fists poised to strike.
"Snow Empress, go!" Huo Yuhao commanded mentally. "But don't injure her too severely. This is just a sparring match not a life or death battle."
Through Spiritual Detection Sharing, his thoughts were instantly transmitted to Snow Empress.
She nodded and launched an attack immediately using her signature techniques.
Truth be told, while the Golden Dragon Spear was powerful, its strength depended on its wielder.
In Di Qiu'er's hands, as a mere Soul Ancestor, it couldn't unleash its full potential.
Ice Emperor's Wrath Snow Dance Shining Sun!
The snowfall grew denser, and the temperature plummeted dramatically.
The delicate snowflakes morphed into sharp ice shards, plummeting toward the battlefield like falling daggers.
Emperor's Palm Great Cold Without Snow!
Snow Empress thrust her palm forward, sending a wave of icy energy straight at Di Qiu'er.
Qiu'er had just teleported in she had no time to react!
She took Snow Empress' attack head on.
A bone chilling cold surged through her body, momentarily freezing her in ice.
However, thanks to her Golden Dragon Body, she wasn't seriously injured.
Still, her golden eyes flickered with astonishment.
She had never seen Snow Empress before but Di Tian had.
So she knew exactly what Snow Empress looked like.
More importantly, Di Tian had described Snow Empress' legendary techniques to her.
And just now, this tiny figure had used two out of the three Snow Empress Absolute Techniques.
"Impossible!"
"Only Snow Empress can use those techniques!"
Di Qiu'er immediately grabbed her Golden Dragon Spear and let herself drop downward to avoid the incoming Ice Emperor's Sword.
At the same time, doubt and suspicion filled her heart.
"This… can't be a mimicry technique."
"That little one… could it really be Snow Empress?"
