A gust of wind swept across the square, swirling the snow and causing the clouds overhead to shift, obscuring the midday sun.

The square was silent.

Wenqi, the braided elf, the Ice Abyss students watching from the sidelines, and even the four commanders including McCarty, all looked astonished.

Even though McCarty could tell that Linda was quite capable, she never imagined that Linda would be so arrogant.

Two fists can't beat four hands; that's a lesson taught in the very first lesson of adventurers' elementary school: "Two Slimes"!

"You mean, we should send two people with us?"

Oren stopped flipping through the comic book and looked at Linda in surprise.

"Yes. I still want to go see the ice tower. Let's finish things here as soon as possible."

The tone was casual, as if they were merely discussing the dinner menu, rather than a decisive battle concerning the fate of their factions.

Everyone couldn't help but feel worried for Linda.

As the strongest Light-rank expert in the Ice Abyss, who would dare to challenge Oren's authority like this?

Oren tilted his head, resting a finger on his temple, and after a moment of thought, said, "Mi San, Alexander, if you lose, get out of here."

"Yes, boss!"

The two nodded emphatically.

"The day I left home, I told my father that I must achieve something great and bring honor to our ancestors!"

Mi San stared at Lin Da with a fierce look in his eyes.

We must win this battle by any means necessary.

Alexander let out a muffled groan and leaped onto the stage, his three-meter-tall body soaring into the air.

Like a meteorite falling, it crashed with a loud bang, creating a huge crater.

“Boy, you will pay the price for your arrogance.” A deep, bull-like voice came from the cross helmet.

Alexander bent his knees slightly, his massive, pillar-like hands outstretched forward, casting terrifying shadows on the ground.

In comparison, Linda was much smaller, and had to look up to see Alexander's eyes.

The overwhelming pressure caused everyone in the audience to swallow hard.

Alexander's arms were thicker than Linda's waist; it was as if they were facing an ancient behemoth.

Mizo arrived on stage silently, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.

He held a backhand knife in each hand, the blades of which were purple, clearly indicating they were highly poisonous.

[Titan] Alexander, [Dark Blade] Mizo!

They are all recognized as strong individuals within the Ice Abyss, reaching level 57 and ranking around 50 on the Light Ranking.

During last year's winter assessment, 12 fragments of the law were revealed!

Most of the light levels present couldn't even control one.

The value of 12 Law Fragments is self-evident.

At this moment, the woman with short purple hair spread her wings of light and flew directly above the icy and snowy platform.

The ability to fly, which is forbidden under the Cold Moon Law, seems to be ineffective against Commander-level beings.

The Elf Commander, the Mage Commander, and the Dwarf Commander flew to the three corners of the high platform and summoned 20-25 fragments of law from their palms, each with a different color and shape.

Under their command, the fragments of the law arranged themselves into a six-pointed star array, attracting each other from all four directions, and connected by milky white light.

This formed an inverted, transparent bowl, covering the arena and preventing the battle from affecting the Moon-rank students.

"Linda, are you sure you want to change this best-of-three match to a one-game decider?"

McCarty floated in the air and spoke in a cool, clear voice.

Linda nodded: "I'm sure."

McCarty sighed inwardly, raised his long whip, and flicked it in mid-air.

With a series of crackling air explosions: "The match begins!"

Whoosh!

The moment he heard the command, Misan moved.

"Go to hell!"

Mi San's figure flickered, creating dozens of clones.

The cold light of the backhand blade shone continuously, like a silver ocean, lurking with murderous intent.

The opening move is a dazzling technique: creating countless clones.

Although Mi San can only generate a maximum of thirty clones now, they are still extremely terrifying. Each clone has one-tenth of the original's strength and the same aura. Before being destroyed, they will last for three minutes before disappearing.

Most of the light-level beings couldn't even touch his main body before being worn down by his clones.

Seeing Linda slowly raise her sword without making any move to counter, Mi San smiled confidently.

It seems even Oren can make mistakes.

This kid is no match for me at all!

Click—

Suddenly, a crisp cracking sound rang out.

Through the gaps between his many clones, Mi Sanzang discovered that Linda had deliberately destroyed the emerald light shield.

Why is that?

Despite his confusion, Mi San's speed in rushing towards Linda did not decrease.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived above and to the side of Linda.

A dazzling purple light shone from the backhand blade, and a total of 11 triangular fragments of the law surged out from the void.

At Mizo's command, 11 fragments, like jewels, were embedded in the backhand blade.

Instantly, magic surged into the sky.

Even McCarty in the air showed a slight change in expression.

Those who can receive a ten-star rating from Lord Leng Yue are indeed no ordinary people.

"A double bite from a venomous snake!"

Mi San grinned maliciously and, together with his clones, charged towards Linda in an overwhelming wave!

A cold wind, carrying a murderous intent, swept in from all directions.

Above Linda's head, the cold glint of a backhand dagger flashed everywhere.

His eyes flickered.

"Radiant Skill, Abandon Armor and Fight!"

This skill comes from the healing skill tree.

The effect is to shatter your own shield. The thicker the shield, the greater the boost to the next three normal attacks. No new shields can be stacked during this period.

The skill lives up to its name: Unyielding Struggle. The healer removes his robes, throws away his staff, clenches his hammer-like fist, and delivers a devastating blow to his enemy!
