Chapter 390: Chapter 389: Ice Emperor True Body

"Next up in Ring Two is the genius Xia Ling, from the Ice Kingdom, a vassal state of the White Cloud Empire! Xia Ling is a scion of the Ice Kingdom’s Royal Family with exceptional Martial Dao talent! He cultivates the Royal Family’s exclusive Ultimate Skill, the *Ice Emperor Technique*! Before even reaching the age of twenty, he broke through to the Condensing Vein Realm, condensed thirty-six Ice Emperor Spirit Veins, and even mastered the Ice Emperor’s Three Strikes, making a name for himself across the White Cloud Empire!"

"His opponent is the new Elder of Cyan Dragon Academy! This Elder comes from a Humble Family and is utterly devoted to the Martial Dao. He rose from obscurity, fought his way into All Stars Academy, suppressed the other prodigies of his generation to become and remain the Elder, and even took first place in the Hidden Dragon Points Competition!"

The powerful voice echoed through the arena, pitched perfectly so that it was neither piercing nor too quiet for the hundreds of thousands of spectators to hear clearly.

The announcer’s voice was rich and full of passion.

"What’s even more incredible is that Qin Feng is not yet fifteen years old, but he is already a Fourth Grade Alchemist! He is currently the chief Alchemist of our All Stars Academy’s Medicine King Hall, and also the Peak Master of Heavenly Red Peak!"

"What? A fifteen-year-old Fourth Grade Alchemist! There’s no way that’s right!"

"My god, is he a monster?"

...

「In the VIP box.」

"A Fourth Grade Alchemist... It’s an impressive title, but his strength looks quite ordinary!"

The speaker was a beautiful noblewoman. She carried herself with dignity and grace, her full figure exuding a mature and alluring charm.

"The Empress is right," the Sovereign of the Purple Gold Kingdom said with a smile, stroking his beard.

"It seems this Fourth Grade Alchemist is in a tough spot. That Xia Ling is a once-in-a-millennium genius from the Ice Kingdom’s Royal Family. At just fifteen or sixteen, he has already cultivated their secret *Ice Emperor Technique* to the 16th Layer, condensed thirty-six Spirit Veins, and stepped into the Celestial Extreme Realm!"

"Talent like that is rare, even among the many vassal Commandery Kingdoms of the White Cloud Empire!"

"This young man, Qin Feng, may be a Fourth Grade Alchemist, but he looks like he’s only condensed twelve Spirit Veins. I’m afraid he’s out of his depth!"

"Not necessarily! If Qin Feng could take first place in the Hidden Dragon Points Competition, his strength is definitely not as simple as it seems!"

Nearby, Moonlight, the Sovereign of the Great Yan Kingdom, shot a sideways glance at the Sovereign of the Purple Gold Kingdom and the alluring, full-figured Purple Gold Empress beside him.

Recalling certain rumors circulating about the Purple Gold Kingdom, a mocking glint appeared in his eyes.

’What an idiot. No wonder he doesn’t even realize his own son-in-law is cuckolding him!’

Filled with scorn, Moonlight’s eyes glinted strangely. Some of the other sovereigns present also cast him looks of pity.

The Sovereign of the Purple Gold Kingdom looked displeased. As the ruler of his kingdom, he was accustomed to fawning ministers and concubines eager to please him. He had never been contradicted so brazenly.

...

On the stage, Qin Feng sized up his opponent. He was a young man with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. Dressed as a Martial Artist, he lacked the fragile air common among royal nobles. An Ice Crystal longsword hung at his hip, and his eyes were as cold as a frozen lake.

’This guy is the real deal.’

Xia Ling studied Qin Feng for a few moments before speaking. "Elder Qin Feng, I’ve heard your name. You are this generation’s most renowned genius from Cyan Dragon Academy. Very strong!"

"To distinguish yourself from a Humble Family and become a Fourth Grade Alchemist, you must have had some great fortune or have an Alchemy Grandmaster backing you."

"However, to become a Fourth Grade Alchemist at your age, you must have focused most of your energy on the path of alchemy. Any strength you possess is likely thanks to a Secret Treasure gifted to you by your master!"

Xia Ling spoke with unhurried confidence as he slowly drew the sword from his waist.

SHIIING!

The translucent, ice-crystal blade emerged from its sheath, radiating a bone-chilling aura.

"Its name is Ice Emperor. This is my Ice Kingdom’s Clan’s Divine Sword. There is no shame in being defeated by this blade!"

Xia Ling’s expression was one of pure confidence. He pointed his unsheathed longsword at Qin Feng, and the entire stage instantly transformed into a massive block of solid ice.

Seeing this, someone in the audience gasped. "I can’t believe it! Xia Ling successfully cultivated the Ice Emperor True Body! That’s the Ice Kingdom’s peerless Body Refining Technique! To cultivate it, you have to train in the eye of a frigid glacier, gathering Ice and Snow Essence Qi day after day and integrating it into your body. The further you cultivate the Ice Emperor True Body, the stronger your icy aura becomes. For Xia Ling to freeze the entire stage with a single gesture... his power must be at the very top among Celestial Extreme Realm experts! I’m afraid Qin Feng is no match for him!"

Even though Qin Feng was on the stage, he still heard the discussion in the audience.

At the mention of the Ice Emperor True Body, Qin Feng’s eyes twitched. He recalled encountering an expert who cultivated a similar Ice Attribute True Body during the Snowfield Trial years ago.

It had been an old fiend from the Lingxu Sect, resurrected from the dead. The man who called himself the Lingxu Venerable had wanted to use the Cold Soul Ice Spring to cultivate the Bingpo True Body.

’Compared to the Bingpo True Body, this Ice Emperor True Body is frankly a step down.’

Just then, Xia Ling launched an attack.

"Three Divine Swords of Ice Emperor!"

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Xia Ling unleashed three slashes in quick succession. The three sword strikes were wondrous, able to separate and merge. Separated, they became a torrent of sword light, raining down from all directions with nowhere to hide. Merged, they became a single, bone-chilling ray of light that could freeze all creation.

The move instantly drew a roar of approval from the crowd.

’He certainly has some skill. But no matter how strong his Sword Skill Divine Abilities are, his True Power is impure. Even if his attacks land, they won’t be able to cause any real damage!’

With a faint smile, Qin Feng pointed a finger. Countless motes of frost coalesced on the stage, and the sword light slammed into them as if hitting a wall.

Thanks to his Innate Divine Power of Ocean Control, and having absorbed the essence of the Cold Soul Spirit Spring, Qin Feng also possessed the ability to command ice and frost.

Xia Ling wasn’t surprised to see his Sword Technique blocked. He had absolute confidence in his ability to crush his opponent.

"Polar Ice Emperor Slash!"

Without any perceptible movement from Xia Ling, a minuscule glint of cold light shot through the Void, appearing above Qin Feng’s head in the next instant.

The frigid sword light carried a trace of Sword Intent capable of freezing all creation. The attack seemed to come alive, taking on a life of its own, and Qin Feng felt a phantom chill creep into his very soul, as if it were about to be frozen solid.

’Interesting. Xia Ling has actually cultivated his Ice Emperor Sword Intent to the Fifth Realm of Sword Dao, Sword with Law!’

’Looks like he’s playing his trump card. This Xia Ling is something else, trying to defeat me—the Elder of Cyan Dragon Academy—in a single move and use my reputation as a stepping stone to fame!’

Though slightly surprised, Qin Feng sneered as an invisible light materialized in his palm.

Beiming Divine Water Sword!

The next instant, Qin Feng’s figure appeared before Xia Ling like a sudden gale. His eyes were chillingly clear. With a roar, the Void True Power in his body surged, layering itself seven times over as it poured into the Beiming Divine Water Sword.

"Seventh Sword of Primordial Tide!"

"You may have comprehended the realm of Sword with Law, but the quality of your True Power is too low to pose a threat to me. I am different. I may not have reached that realm, but my power makes up for any deficiency! My Void True Power can easily shatter your sword light and rip through your defenses!"

A peerlessly sharp glint flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes as he unleashed a powerful upward slash.

A vast, tide-like wave of sword light erupted across the stage. As he swung his sword, the surrounding audience could even hear the thunderous roar of a surging ocean.

The brilliant sword light struck Xia Ling. Before his incredulous eyes, it effortlessly shredded the sword light he had been so proud of and slammed into his chest.

THUD! The sound of a heavy body hitting the ground!

A figure shot backward out of the air like a cannonball, landing off the stage under the watchful eyes of the entire crowd!

PTHOO!

Spitting a mouthful of blood, Xia Ling raised his head, his gaze struggling to focus on the black-robed figure on the stage. "You..." He raised a trembling finger to point, a flash of shame and fury in his eyes. The next moment, he collapsed, unconscious.
