Chapter 98

With a light tap of his left foot on the ground, Tang San's body shot forward like an arrow, dashing straight toward Wu Bingji. A green light condensed in each of his palms, clearly forming wind blades. However, this time, he had no intention of launching them.

Wu Bingji was momentarily stunned. He tapped his left foot on the ground, and the dense ice mist around him instantly condensed, transforming into ice spikes that shot out in all directions, blocking Tang San's path. His defense wasn't just in front but in all directions centered around his body.

He vividly remembered Tang San's ghostly footwork from their last battle, which had caused both him and Cheng Zicheng to suffer.

In his view, with such a defense, Tang San should have directly launched his wind blades for a long-range attack. With the strength of his wind blades, breaking through the ice spikes wouldn't be difficult, but it would give him enough time to prepare. He could also try out the changes in his abilities that he and Tang San had discussed.

Although only two days had passed, Wu Bingji was confident that he had made significant progress in controlling ice elements by finding the right path...

However, what he didn't expect was that Tang San didn't launch the wind blades in his hands. The moment the ice spikes appeared, he was already in front of them.

The wind blades in his hands slashed out like lightning, and a series of crisp clinks echoed as the ice spikes were severed one by one. The wind blades then pointed directly at Wu Bingji.

Tang San had a plan for this battle. Perhaps it was influenced by his encounter with Meigong yesterday. He wanted to become stronger and earn more money. He needed more recognition from the academy and better improvement.

As Wu Bingji was startled, Tang San was already closing in. But his combat experience was also extensive. His body instantly transformed into an ice element form, enhancing his defense and increasing his perception of ice elements.

The temperature around him plummeted, and at the same time, an ice ball from his right hand shot toward Tang San's face.

But in that instant, Tang San vanished from his sight.

Ghostly Footwork. Tang San's wind blades slashed out again, cutting through the ice spikes around Wu Bingji. The color of the wind blades in his hands deepened continuously.

This was a process of compressing the wind blades while fighting.

"Bang!" Before all the ice spikes were cut, the remaining ones around Wu Bingji suddenly exploded, sending a wave of air outward.

But Tang San seemed to have anticipated this. The moment the ice spikes exploded, he leaped into the air.

The ice ball Wu Bingji had thrown also exploded in mid-air, releasing a deep, bone-chilling cold.

Tang San felt his blood vessels stiffen, and his body began to freeze.

The intensity of the ice elements at this moment was clearly a level higher than their battle two days ago.

A smile formed on Wu Bingji's lips. He could certainly sense the state of the ability he had released. In his ice element form, all the ice elements around him were his perception.

Close combat, Tang San, you've made a wrong choice! My ice element form is actually best suited for close combat. The closer you are to me, the colder it gets, and the greater the impact on you. My control over ice elements is also stronger the closer you are to my body.

But his smile lasted only a moment. The next instant, he sensed something was wrong.

In the air, there was not only bone-chilling cold but also an incredibly sharp aura. Although Tang San's body was somewhat stiff, he still swung his wind blades.

Two emerald-green beams of light slashed down from the air, merging into a massive wind blade that forcefully cut through the cold. Without making a sound, it left a black trail in the air, heading straight for Wu Bingji.

Who else has made progress besides Wu Bingji?

After completing the fusion of the fifth imprint and fully absorbing Feng Xiong's bloodline power, how could Tang San's progress be any less?

Reaching the peak of the fifth stage of the Wind Wolf Transformation, Tang San's control over wind elements had improved even further. Moreover, the Golden Phoenix Transformation had enhanced his physical strength, making his resistance to ice elements much stronger than two days ago.

Duba had once said that the classmates named his highly compressed wind blades "Wind God Slash." Today's attack was inspired by the name "Wind God Slash."

The cold swept past his body, without a piercing howl, but the sudden burst of wind elements forcefully blew away the concentrated cold.

The massive wind blade almost instantly reached Wu Bingji's head.

Wu Bingji reacted to the danger the moment he sensed it. The icy path under his feet shot out like a spring. His deeper understanding of ice elements allowed him to use his abilities faster than before.

His body shot forward with the extension of the icy path, and an ice shield appeared above his head.

Ice shield, a habit...

The ice shield shattered almost instantly, even before it could explode. Tang San's Wind God Slash descended from the sky.

But the surrounding cold still affected his speed, and the Wind God Slash almost grazed Wu Bingji's back, cutting into the ground.

A small crack appeared on the ground, but the blackness quickly spread.

Wu Bingji grunted, and a line of blood appeared on his back. Even his ice element form couldn't withstand the aftereffects of the Wind God Slash.

Tang San's actions didn't stop. He knew that the longer the battle lasted, the more disadvantageous it would be for him due to the continuous cold consumption.

The Wind God Slash in his hand, which hadn't exploded, was instantly raised. His body spun, and he executed a spinning slash.

This time, the wind blade finally detached, spinning rapidly as it headed straight for Wu Bingji.

As Wu Bingji charged forward, his body had already turned around. Ice walls rose in front of him one after another but were repeatedly cut through by the terrifying wind blade. He looked utterly disheveled.

But each time an ice wall was cut, it would quickly explode and shatter, using the force of the explosion to enhance its blocking ability.

However, the next instant, Wu Bingji realized something was wrong.

Because a fierce wind was howling!

The rapidly spinning Wind God Slash suddenly exploded, transforming into a powerful tornado. This tornado wasn't just wind; it also carried the shattered ice fragments. Each ice fragment, swept by the fierce wind, became like a blade, instantly engulfing his body.

"I..." Wu Bingji was shocked, almost unable to believe his eyes.

The next instant, he could only curl up his body, releasing ice elements to the fullest, turning himself into an ice sculpture to resist the "blizzard" from all directions.

Not only were the students stunned, but the teachers were equally amazed.

Mu Enqing's lips twitched. He had wanted to intervene several times but couldn't bear to interrupt such an exciting battle.

The speed of the battle between Tang San and Wu Bingji was incredibly fast, and the explosions were so intense that it left the spectators breathless.

When the Wind God Slash exploded into a tornado, Mu Enqing felt his scalp tingle. What kind of mental power could control it like this?

Tang San didn't continue his attack, looking slightly pale. Wu Bingji, trapped in the ice tornado, was barely holding on. The ice on his body formed and was cut away repeatedly, like a girl facing a thug, constantly putting on clothes...
