Chapter 22 Frost and Sword
Principal's office.
Ren Zheng looked at a document that was delivered to his desk with a somewhat amused expression.
"I thought he was someone from somewhere, but after all this time, I realized he was just a young man who didn't know the rules."
Qiu Ding, from the imperial capital.
Ren Zheng even felt that even if he didn't take action, Yu Cang could probably solve the problem on his own.
He couldn't help but feel fortunate once again that he had acted quickly this time and successfully brought Yu Cang back.
However, although he felt that this opponent was not worth his effort, since he had promised Yu Cang, he still had to do what he had to do.
After thinking about it, Ren Zheng picked up the phone and dialed a number.
Soon, the call was connected.
"Hey, Lao Qiu, it's been a while since we last contacted each other."
"Ren Zhenguo? Hahaha, it's been a long time since I heard your voice. How are you doing lately?"
"Well, it's still the same, but I'm happy to see young people getting better with each passing generation."
"You... Ren Zhenguo, you're not looking for me to reminisce about the past this time, are you? Let me guess, maybe my good-for-nothing son got into trouble with you?"
"Old Qiu, don't think of me as so utilitarian. Can't I just come and reminisce about the past with you?"
“Don’t give me that…”
…
Battle Club Training Ground
This place is now covered by a cold air. Looking around, the ground is covered with layers of ice spikes. Occasionally, there is a flame trying to ignite, but it is completely unable to break through the blockade of ice and frost.
And in the center of this cold air.
A figure surrounded by frost stood quietly, holding an icy long sword in her hand. The bone-chilling coldness slowly flowed from the sword body, and then filled the entire field of vision. If you didn't look carefully, you would even think that what she held in her hand was just a beam of cold air!
"call……"
Gu Jieshuang exhaled slowly. Although she had created such a frost field, the temperature in her body was not cold, but rather burning. This breath of hot air immediately formed a stream of white mist in the air. The water vapor in it quickly condensed into crystal-clear ice fragments, which fell to the ground from the white mist with a crisp sound.
In front of her, Qiu Ding's condition was not good.
The field was littered with the "corpses" of the Burning Earth Summoned Beasts.
Yes, corpses.
Normally, after a summoned beast is killed, it should directly turn into a soul card and enter death cooldown. Even if it is half-dead and only has one breath left, the soul card master will most likely cancel the summoning directly. The sooner it is canceled, the sooner the cooldown will be reduced.
But this was not the case on the field at this moment.
A Burning Earth Seeker had been sliced in half, its body lying diagonally on the ground, flames still surging beneath the massive wound. Logically, with such injuries, the Burning Earth Seeker should have died long ago, but it wasn't. A layer of frost had spread over it, freezing it into an ice sculpture. This prevented it from dying easily, yet it couldn't be unsummoned by the Soul Card Master.
There were many "corpse ice sculptures" like this on the field. Some of them had been brutally cut into several pieces, making it impossible to tell what kind of summoned beast they were.
Even behind Qiu Ding, there was a "Fire-Eating Furnace", which was cut in half by a sword, fell to the ground, and was frozen by the frost.
"You...you..." Qiu Ding gritted his teeth and his body couldn't help shaking.
I don’t know if it was because the environment was too cold or because Gu Jieshuang was so powerful that made him despair.
Gu Jieshuang is a melee soul card master.
This style of Soul Master usually carries a few Equipment Cards and Spell Cards in their decks, and generally does not use Summoning Cards. This means that melee Soul Masters are almost always masters of physical skills, and will always charge into battle.
Although this will put the Soul Card Master himself in danger, it also has certain benefits. After all, there is no such thing as "friendly damage" in Soul Cards. If a melee Soul Card Master closes the distance with you, you must carefully consider whether each subsequent use of Soul Cards will hurt yourself.
But in the battle just now, Gu Jieshuang completely abandoned the advantages of a melee soul card master. Instead, he was calm and composed throughout the whole process, and did not look for opportunities to close the distance. Instead, like an ordinary soul card master, he paced slowly at a certain distance away from Qiu Ding.
Every time Qiu Ding activated a Soul Card, she dealt with it. Apart from the sword-shaped equipment Soul Card she used at the beginning, she hadn't used a single drop of Soul Energy, and her duel shield hadn't been depleted at all!
With just one card, Qiu Ding was completely suppressed!
"Are you really... only level four..." Qiu Ding was so cold that he could hardly utter a complete sentence.
It’s not that he hasn’t fought against fourth-level soul card masters. In fact, before entering Ancient Capital University, he had many teachers or sparring partners, and he had fought against opponents of higher levels countless times.
But no fourth-level soul card master could give him such terrifying and almost desperate pressure like Gu Jieshuang!
"Impossible, even if I lose, I can't..." Qiu Ding gritted his teeth.
He waved his hand, and the four corpses that had been frozen into ice sculptures on the field suddenly disappeared. Immediately afterwards, a huge figure descended from the sky.
The Great Commander of the Burning Earth!
Two consecutive summons within one day put tremendous pressure on Qiu Ding's spirit, but he didn't care anymore. Even if he would definitely lose, he must not be so embarrassed!
boom!
The Grand Commander raised the giant sword high in the air, a pillar of fire shot up from the blade into the sky, and then he smashed it down without hesitation!
Gu Jieshuang raised her head and looked at the nearly three-meter-tall Grand Commander and the overwhelming flames, her expression remained unchanged.
"Will using a power beyond your own will make you stronger?"
A soul card opened next to Gu Jieshuang. She swept it lightly with her sword, and the soul card automatically turned into a piece of crystal frost, following the sword.
Cold frost attack!
Click!
The cold wind dissipated along the ground, and Gu Jieshuang struck out with his sword. Countless frost air automatically accumulated, outlining the shape of the sword in the air.
A long path made of ice opened up in the flames and passed straight through the flame column. In the blink of an eye, it extended behind the Grand Commander!
Click!
Crystal-like ice flowers bloomed on the body of the Grand Commander, causing him to stagger.
At this time, Gu Jieshuang's sword also fell on Qiu Ding.
Bang!
The duel shield took the sword for Qiu Ding, but the oncoming force still made him fall to the ground.
"Stand up and continue."
"I..." Qiu Ding gritted his teeth and got up from the ground, but the second sword was already in front of him.
Bang!
Qiu Ding fell to the ground again. He wanted to control the Grand Commander to return to defend, but Gu Jieshuang always interrupted his thoughts with a sword when Qiu Ding wanted to issue an order.
Since the existence of the Grand Commander had already put enough pressure on him mentally, he had no way to calm down and face Gu Jieshuang's attack. He could only let Gu Jieshuang tease him like a rag doll.
One sword after another, Gu Jieshuang did not use the soul card again, but the duel shield on Qiu Ding was still depleted rapidly. Even though it had ten times the durability, it was finally broken by Gu Jieshuang's sword at a certain moment.
Bang!
The shield exploded, and a wave of air spread out, pushing Gu Jieshuang far away and landing gently on the ground.
