CHAPTER 59 — "WHEN ICE SHATTERS ICE"
The moment the battle signal rang, the temperature dropped.
Not suddenly.
Not violently.
It settled.
A creeping cold spread across Titan Shell Arena as frost crawled along the stone floor like living veins. The air itself seemed to slow, each breath exhaled by the combatants turning faintly white.
The audience felt it instantly.
"—WHAT IS THIS PRESSURE?!""The arena's freezing!""That's not normal ice—!"
At the center of Frostcloud Imperial Academy's formation, Xuan Beiyun lifted both hands.
The world responded.
"Frost Domain: Silent White Expanse."
The ground cracked.
Ice surged upward in layered plates, forming uneven terrain, spiked ridges, and floating frost shards that hovered midair like suspended blades. Visibility dropped as a pale mist rolled across the battlefield, muting sound and distorting distance.
The announcer's voice rose sharply.
