A resounding dragon roar echoed through the heavens.
Intense dread flashed in the eyes of the Frost Moon Heavenly Wolf King. If those few women earlier were nothing more than toys to it, then Shen Hanyu was a sharp blade that could threaten its life at any moment.
Piece by piece, gorgeous dragon scales carrying an aura of majesty slowly emerged on Shen Hanyu's body. A phantom of a majestic blue-and-red dragon appeared behind him, its enormous dragon eyes gazing at the Frost Moon Heavenly Wolf King without the slightest emotion.
Dragon claws and wolf claws clashed repeatedly. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged blows several times. The scattered force fell like thunderbolts around them, leaving huge craters in the hard ground.
Xu Yan's expression changed. No longer caring about resting, the seven soul rings at her feet rose once more. The fourth, a purple soul ring, lit up, and a white soul power barrier appeared around the group of five, blocking the shockwaves from the battle between the man and the beast.
Not far behind them, a tall woman with striking curves quickly stepped forward.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, purple, black, six soul rings rose at her feet. Her height suddenly increased to over two meters. Armor and tusks condensed from soul power slowly appeared, and a massive mammoth materialized behind her. She suddenly moved forward to help support the tottering soul power barrier.
"Sister Yan, let me help you!"
Mammoth martial soul!
This was clearly an advanced martial soul, no less than a top-tier one. In terms of strength and defense, few martial souls could compare. Many families on the continent had inherited it, with more than one path of development. It was a powerful martial soul balanced in both offense and defense.
Xu Yan maintained the soul power barrier with both hands but still turned her head and said softly, "No need to worry about me. My soul power level is higher than all of yours, and the soul power I store far exceeds yours. Just protect Ah Shui and the others."
Qin Ya nodded. The enormous mammoth phantom stepped forward a few paces, using its massive body to shield the three women still collapsed on the ground behind it.
Shen Hanyu had no time to concern himself with such things right now. After an intense fight, he was somewhat surprised to discover that, without using soul bones or soul skills, a mere sixty-thousand-year soul beast could actually fight him on equal footing.
After another fierce collision, Shen Hanyu retreated a few steps, while the massive body of the Frost Moon Heavenly Wolf King slid back more than ten meters, leaving a clear trail on the ground.
Shen Hanyu flexed his wrist. Just as he was about to continue, he heard Tian Meng say, "Hanyu, Bro forgot to tell you, Frost Moon Sky Wolves gain continuous strength amplification under moonlight. If we're talking about the limit of that amplification, the Frost Moon Sky Wolf you're facing right now is probably equivalent to some of the weaker hundred-thousand-year soul beasts."
Shen Hanyu nodded thoughtfully. He had lost all patience and interest in continuing the fight.
The next moment, a blue domain spread outward with Shen Hanyu's body as the center. Within the blue domain, the temperature plummeted sharply, and snowflakes as sharp as blades began to fall from the sky.
This was the ultimate ice domain fully formed on his Cold Heaven Spear after breaking through to Soul Douluo.
Within his domain, allies and himself received a thirty percent boost to all attributes, with ice attributes gaining several times that amplification. At the same time, it weakened the opponent's overall attributes by fifteen percent.
In this domain, all ice elements could be commanded by Shen Hanyu to attack the enemy.
Moreover, if the domain wasn't broken in time, soul power would gradually freeze, and speed, strength, and soul power recovery would be greatly reduced. It wasn't impossible for the opponent to eventually turn into an ice sculpture.
This domain might not be the strongest, but it was certainly the most suitable for the Cold Heaven Spear, practically tailor-made for it.
As it was enveloped by the domain, a trace of panic appeared in the Frost Moon Heavenly Wolf King's eyes. Its muscles tensed, and the bloodlust in its pupils grew even more intense. Though its aura was somewhat suppressed, it remained terrifyingly immense.
From the perspective of Xu Yan and the other women on the periphery, their faces were filled with shock. Qin Ya walked forward with a complicated expression and said,
"Sister Yan, what do you think? This person's strength is at least at the Soul Douluo level, right? We're really lucky. I thought all us sisters were done for here."
Xu Yan let out a low sigh, her eyes filled with indescribable weariness. "Far more than Soul Douluo. I've seen our dean spar with the dean of the neighboring Kamikaze Academy. Even when both used their eighth soul skills, the energy fluctuations were nowhere near as great as those from this clash between man and beast. So, this is at least a Title Douluo-level expert..."
After a pause, Xu Yan continued, "Also, don't you think this snow wolf is abnormal? I've been observing it the whole way, and something always felt off. Thinking about it now, even for a sixty-thousand-year snow wolf, how could four Soul Emperors and one Soul Sage end up in such a sorry state? We were too naive. This soul beast absolutely cannot be just an ordinary snow wolf."
Qin Ya nodded with a complicated look. She helped up the two companions behind her who had recovered some strength and gently held the heavily injured woman in her arms, feeding her a sip of water.
Xu Yan slowly crouched down and softly asked, "How is Ah Shui?"
Qin Ya shook her head. "Her condition is very bad. Her internal organs are severely injured, and she's lost a lot of blood. Now it's up to fate."
Xu Yan couldn't help clenching her fists, with endless pain in her eyes. "It's all my fault. If I hadn't turned down the dean's offer to help, Ah Shui wouldn't..."
"I'm the sinner of the academy. Ah Shui is the number one genius Skywater Academy has seen in nearly a century. Bing'er is still young, and now the future of the academy, Ah Shui, might not even make it out of the Extreme North alive..."
The two similar-looking women behind her quickly supported Xu Yan and comforted her, "Sister Yan, don't think like that. Ah Shui is blessed and will be fine. None of us expected to encounter such a powerful and abnormal soul beast in the outer regions. You've already done your best..."
Tears fell from Xu Yan's eyes, slowly sliding down her cheeks and finally dropping onto the snow.
Gu Yu and Gu Yu, the twin sisters, exchanged a glance but said nothing.
"Bang—"
A loud explosion suddenly rang out not far beside them, kicking up a cloud of snow and dust.
As the dust slowly settled, the massive body of the Frost Moon Heavenly Wolf King had smashed a large pit into the ground. Its body was covered in wounds of all sizes. Blood dripped from Shen Hanyu's dragon claws. He let out a heavy breath, his gaze sweeping over the corpse at his feet. Suddenly, a terrifying invisible suction force erupted from his right leg, secretly beginning to absorb this body that was nearly pure energy from head to toe.
