"Moreover, it's fire-based, which is exactly the opposite of Miss Chu's ice-based nature."

"I don't know who is more dominant than whom."

"Fire can overcome ice, and ice can overcome fire; it all depends on the skill of both sides."

...

Chu Chuyan remained calm as she slowly drew her longsword. The sword was entirely transparent with a hint of blue, and as it was exposed to the air, wisps of white vapor rose around it, clearly due to the extremely low temperature causing the surrounding moisture to condense.

Zu An thought to himself, no wonder his cheap wife is so cold-hearted. Even her weapon is a piece of ice. How could she not be cold on ordinary days? Hmm, she is aloof and the cultivation technique she practices is also related to ice and snow. She also carries this ice person on her body all day long. Will the cold air enter her body and cause menstrual cramps?

He originally wanted to ask his sister-in-law, but in the end he gave up. If he asked that question, he would probably be seen as a pervert.

Wu Di roared, raised his long sword, and charged towards his opponent with terrifying momentum, like a burning tiger.

Zuan, watching from below the stage, was shocked. This guy's moves were accompanied by special effects, so he was clearly not a simple character. He wondered if his cheap wife could withstand him.

Chu Chuyan slowly raised her sword, without any fancy movements, and with a flick of her wrist, she thrust the sword straight at her opponent.

With a crisp "ding", Chu Chuyan's sword tip touched the opponent's blade, and the raging fiery tiger instantly disappeared, with a gust of wind spreading out from the two of them.

One side of the audience felt unbearably hot, while the other side felt icy cold.

The two separated immediately upon contact. Wu Di stared at the beautiful figure several feet away, utterly shocked. This woman's skill in using Yuan energy far surpassed his. Was this the difference between himself and the world's geniuses?

However, no matter how talented you are, you can't erase the fact that I have nearly twenty more years of cultivation time than you. Today, you are destined to be defeated.

At this moment, Chu Chuyan also frowned slightly. The person opposite her was far more energetic than she had expected. It seemed that he was the strongest among the Yuan family contestants this time, and had he chosen to deal with her on purpose?

Although they were each lost in their own thoughts, their hands did not stop, and they soon clashed again. Their swords clashed, and their figures turned into afterimages. Chu Chuyan was graceful, while Di Wuze's moves were fierce and powerful, and they fought to a standstill.

"This person was actually able to fight Miss Chu to a draw!"

"When did the Yuan family acquire such a master?"

...

Hearing the commotion in the training ground, Qin Wanru asked her daughter with some concern, "Husband, what is this person's background?"

Chu Zhongtian frowned deeply: "I don't know, but I always feel that this person is a bit strange. Logically speaking, Chu Yan's Snowflake Divine Sword always brings a bone-chilling cold air with every move. Usually, when an opponent faces her, he will be affected by her cold air, and his movements will inevitably be sluggish. Then the gap will widen and he will soon be defeated. But this Di Wu seems to be completely unaffected by her cold air, which is really strange."

Qin Wanru guessed, "Could it be because the fire-based cultivation technique he practices can counteract Chu Yan's coldness?"

"Perhaps." Chu Zhongtian continued to keep an eye on the battle.

At this moment, the two on the arena had temporarily separated, each regulating their surging internal energy.

Wu Di looked at his hands, which were covered with a layer of frost. With a thought, a flame swept across his hands, and they were restored to normal. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "I have long heard that Miss Chu's Snowflake Divine Sword is incredibly powerful. Seeing it today, I can see that it is indeed true to its reputation. I will get serious from now on. Miss Chu, you must be careful."

Yuan Wendong, sitting in the audience, frowned, thinking to himself, "Why is Senior Wu Di talking so much today? He's not like his usual aloof self."

Only Zuan roughly guessed: "Hmph, this guy must be trying to show off in front of my good wife because she's pretty, to attract her attention."

To his relief, Chu Chuyan showed no reaction whatsoever, remaining standing there quietly like an ice-cold beauty, her eyes as calm as still water.

Looking into her clear, water-like eyes, Wu Di couldn't help but breathe rapidly. It was a pity that such a woman was destined to be out of his reach, and all his hatred and regret burst forth.

Blade of Heavenly Incineration!

He leaped into the air, his long sword pointing skyward. The flames on the sword suddenly surged, transforming into a flaming sword several meters long.

"Wow, even Kumārajīva's Flaming Blade isn't as cool as yours." Zu'an sat up straight. "I want to learn some of these cool moves in the future. If I use them, I'll instantly gain a lot of female fans."

Chu Huanzhao, standing to the side, curled his lip and said, "Even though Di Wushi has shown up, he hasn't had many female fans."

Zuan waved his hand: "That's because he's too ugly. Only someone as handsome as me can use this technique effectively."

Although he spoke casually, he was still a little nervous for Chu Chuyan. He wondered if she could handle it. If she were injured by this move, even just burning off a few strands of hair would be a huge loss.

Chu Chuyan held her sword horizontally in front of her chest. As the sword swayed slowly, snowflakes appeared out of thin air within several feet around her. Soon, more and more snowflakes appeared, and she looked like a goddess in a blizzard.

The audience in the training ground gasped in surprise:

Wow, so beautiful!

"You overlooked the danger beneath the beauty; every snowflake inside could freeze you into an icicle."

"You think Miss Chu is so cold all day long? Won't her husband freeze to death in the middle of the night if he holds her while she sleeps?"

"What do you know? Even the coldest woman has a warm heart inside."

"Oh, you're so naughty~"
