"Sigh..."
A low sigh echoed in Lin Xiuran's mind, seemingly reverberating throughout the entire arena.
The next second, an invisible ripple erupted from Lin Xiuran's body, instantly freezing the icy forest that was about to harm him in mid-air. The next instant, they all shattered, but instead of breaking into ice shards, they vanished without a trace, transforming into ice elements.
The giant tree formed by the icy forest also began to crumble almost instantly. The powerful Martial Soul Fusion Technique was easily disintegrated.
When Wu Changkong arrived outside the arena, he was stunned, never expecting the powerful Martial Soul Fusion Technique to crumble so easily.
And the culprit behind all this was just a ten-year-old Soul Master who had just entered level thirty. The power of that Martial Soul Fusion Technique was comparable to a Soul King's attack.
Lin Xiuran felt as if his entire body had been hollowed out, almost collapsing to the ground, only catching him in time thanks to Wu Changkong's timely intervention.
Tang Wulin and Gu Yue had long since disappeared from the stage; Gu Yue's spatial element had likely teleported them away.
The Zhou sisters, Hanyou and Tian'er, stared in disbelief, their faces deathly pale, gasping for breath, a trickle of blood oozing from their lips. Their soul power was clearly exhausted, and the backlash from the broken Martial Soul Fusion Technique had further damaged their bodies.
Zhang Zhenpeng arrived shortly after Wu Changkong, and the moment he saw the Ice and Snow Forest activate, he realized something was wrong.
This was a competition!
His two prized disciples couldn't fully control this soul skill; if someone died, the trouble would be immense.
Even he hadn't expected such a powerful elemental combination Martial Soul Fusion Technique to be broken.

Wu Changkong handed Lin Xiuran to Xie Xie, then his cold gaze swept over Zhang Zhenpeng.
Clearly, Wu Changkong wouldn't let it go so easily after injuring his student.
Afterwards, six spirit rings, accompanied by powerful ice elements, gradually radiated across the entire area. Then, Lin Xiuran disappeared from sight, having fainted beside Xie Xie.
"Sister Na, why?"
Tang Wutong asked, her face full of confusion. She was puzzled. Although Gu Yue was protecting her brother, she felt no relief.
She knew her brother couldn't possibly be harmed; the Divine King's divine sense wasn't just for show.
She was simply confused as to why Gu Yue outside, under those circumstances, would choose Tang Wulin without hesitation.
Even without regaining her memories, their relationship was clearly...
Gu Yue's eyes were filled with sorrow, her pupils shifting as if different memories were surfacing.
How similar this was to a scene from her past life! Back then, she too had chosen Tang Wulin without hesitation here. At that time, Lin Xiuran suffered immense trauma. If it weren't for the powerful and tenacious vitality of the Phoenix bloodline, he might have truly perished…
The images of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the Star Dou Great Forest flashed before her eyes, and she could almost feel the warmth of Lin Xiuran's body.
"Whichever version of me I am, I've wronged him." Gu Yuena's face was somewhat forlorn; she had tried her best to recover from the memories.
Gu Yuena looked at Tang Wutong and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air: "Would you like to hear my story?"
Tang Wutong was taken aback, then seemed to realize something and hurriedly nodded.
…
When Lin Xiuran woke up, he was already back in the hotel.
He stretched his slightly sore arms; his physical condition was quite good, at least he felt no pain.
Actually, he had already regained consciousness, but his mind was a little muddled for a moment.
However, he still vaguely heard some words.
Gu Yue had sacrificed her own life force, igniting the light of life and combining it with the light elements she controlled to release a life-healing light to treat Tang Wulin. This had basically healed his wounds and damaged internal organs.
This act was very touching, but Lin Xiuran felt indifferent. He rubbed his eyes slightly, and his vision gradually returned to clear.
At this moment, Wu Changkong, who had been watching the unconscious Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, came to his side and asked, "How are you?"
"I'm fine, I feel pretty good." Lin Xiuran shrugged. He was indeed fine and felt that he just needed to rest more.
The white-haired woman behind Wu Changkong smiled and looked at the two of them: "I knew you would be worried. I checked, your disciple is perfectly fine."
Lin Xiuran looked at the white-haired woman. If he guessed correctly, this should be Wu Changkong's junior sister, Shen Yi.
At this moment, Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie returned with food from the doorway. Seeing Lin Xiuran awake, their eyes lit up.
"Brother Xiuran!"
They rushed to Lin Xiuran's side, Xie Xie especially looking at him excitedly.
"How are you feeling, Brother Ran?"
"I'm fine," Lin Xiuran replied.
"Damn, Brother Ran, how did you break that final Martial Soul Fusion Technique?"
Xie Xie was completely dumbfounded. That terrifyingly icy forest crumbled so easily in front of Lin Xiuran.
Xu Xiaoyan stood to the side, wanting to speak, but worried about something, only smiling as she looked at Lin Xiuran.
Xie Xie seemed to have too many questions, asking Lin Xiuran a whole host of questions in a minute.
Finally, Wu Changkong told him to shut up and not disturb Lin Xiuran's rest, thus saving him from further trouble.
A few days later, Tang Wulin and the other person finally woke up. Tang Wulin possessed exceptional self-healing abilities. Despite suffering such severe injuries, his internal organs had completely healed under the healing light of life. However, his body was severely depleted and required time to recover.
Therefore, he and Tang Wulin could not continue participating in the three-person team competition; there was only one substitute spot available, and replacing two was not feasible. Consequently, they withdrew from the remaining matches.
Lin Xiuran, on the other hand, was largely unaffected and was back to his energetic self the next day, continuing to participate in the junior group individual competition.
The subsequent matches proceeded smoothly. Although there were still Soul Masters with three-ring cultivation in the junior group, none were as powerful as Ye Xinglan, and naturally, none could match Lin Xiuran.
Thus, almost as expected, Lin Xiuran won the final championship of the junior group individual competition.
Winning the final championship at the age of ten was undoubtedly a great honor. At least in the hundreds of years since the inception of the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition, no one had ever achieved such a feat, winning first place at the age of ten. He
single-handedly boosted the viewership of the entire junior group competition, displaying the qualities of a ten-year-old Soul Master, three different colored Soul Rings, and the ability to withstand a Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
Each of these aspects was stunning, naturally attracting a large audience.
