Seeing his range of movement shrinking and not wanting to lose face in front of his clansmen, White Feather used his First Soul Skill, Swallow Tread.
White Feather, who was already extremely fast, saw his speed surge by another fifty percent after using the acceleration Soul Ability, Swallow Tread. He moved nimbly among the three Profound Ice Chains, attempting to break free from their confinement.
White Feather's speed had indeed increased, but not to the point where Yu Yan couldn't react. His speed was still within Yu Yan's control.
Under Yu Yan's control, the Profound Ice Chains always managed to block White Feather in time, cutting off his path forward.
Two minutes later, the Profound Ice Chain cage was fully formed, and White Feather was completely trapped within.
"The battle is over. Yu Yan is the winner."
Seeing Yu Yan stop the process of shrinking the Profound Ice Chain cage, Bai He loudly announced the outcome of the battle.
Yu Yan unraveled the Profound Ice Chain cage and released the trapped White Feather.
White Feather, who had just been talking about teaching Yu Yan a lesson, now only wanted to find a hole to crawl into. In fact, that was pretty much what he did.
After leaving the training ground, White Feather hid behind a pillar, unwilling to let his clansmen see him.
After Yu Yan's easy victory, the members of the Speed Clan, who had previously looked down on him, now regarded him with more caution.
They were arrogant, true, but that didn't mean they were stupid.
It was clear from the battle between Yu Yan and White Feather that Yu Yan was stronger—much, much stronger.
If Yu Yan really was under eight years old as the Clan Chief said, he was indeed a formidable Genius.
After announcing the result and observing the clansmen's reactions for a while, Bai He called out to his granddaughter, "Chenxiang, you take the next fight."
Knowing Yu Yan's situation, Bai He understood that if he didn't let his granddaughter, Bai Chenxiang, take the field now, she might not get another chance.
"Okay, Grandpa."
A slender and extremely beautiful young girl leaped lightly, landing opposite Yu Yan. She sized him up curiously, as if trying to see right through him.
"Bai Chenxiang of the Speed Clan, Rank 14 First Ring Spirit Master."
Perhaps due to Yu Yan's performance just now, Bai Chenxiang's tone was much better than White Feather's, and that inexplicable arrogance etched into their bones was gone.
"Please."
If someone treats me with respect, I will return it tenfold.
As Bai Chenxiang's tone became polite, Yu Yan's tone naturally followed suit.
After her Martial Soul Possession, a pair of large white wings appeared behind Bai Chenxiang. Realizing Yu Yan was no ordinary Spirit Master from the previous fight, she immediately activated her First Soul Skill, Phantom.
In the instant she charged forward, Bai Chenxiang transformed into five afterimages, surrounding Yu Yan from five different directions.
Four of the five afterimages were false phantoms, but they looked identical to Bai Chenxiang herself. With the extreme speed granted by the Needle Tailed Swift Spirit and the indistinguishable afterimages, one would be helpless without a countermeasure.
Lacking any special detection methods himself, Yu Yan couldn't tell which afterimage was the real body for a moment.
Since he couldn't tell them apart, he would just attack them all.
With a light wave of his hand, six Profound Ice Chains appeared around Yu Yan.
To pursue ultimate speed, the Speed Clan's spirit rings always came from extremely fast Spirit Beasts; therefore, their Spirit Abilities were all quite similar.
——————————
Ice Fish Third Soul Skill: Profound Yin Dragon Silk (Originating from the Moonflower Side Branch)
Ability Form: The Ice Fish Spirit swims as hundreds of nearly transparent "Profound Yin Silks" with subtle Dragon scale patterns condense around it, shooting silently toward the target area.
Ability Type: Continuous Debuff (Single Target/Small Area)
Core Effects:
Soul-Eroding Binding: Upon hitting the target, the Dragon Silk doesn't provide hard control but "Parasites" the spirit power shield or body surface like a maggot on a bone. It continuously drains spirit power (the target loses a tiny amount per second, converted into weak ice spirit power to replenish Yu Yan) and interferes with the fluidity of spirit power execution (manifesting as slightly longer casting times and skill cooldowns).
Dragon Cold Bone Erosion: The Dragon Vein cold energy within the Profound Yin Silk continuously penetrates, causing the target's body parts (where bound) to gradually stiffen and go numb, reducing physical coordination and reaction speed (not absolute deceleration, but affecting fine control).
Source Siphon Feedback (Passive): If the parasited target uses a Soul Ability, the Ice Fish will absorb an extra bit of pure energy due to the violent fluctuation of their spirit power, temporarily and slightly increasing Yu Yan's mental force sensitivity or the penetration of ice Spirit Abilities.
Combat Logic: Not a strong crowd control, but continuous, stealthy interference and attrition, aimed at "slowly wearing them down," weakening the threat of enemy core Spirit Masters or agility-attack systems. Like the Sun Moon Dragon Blood Tree's parasitic roots and freezing air.
Visuals: Fine, hard-to-detect cold silks that only refract the faint light of Dragon scales under spirit power fluctuations after hitting.
fire fish Third Soul Skill: Blazing Sun Dragon Vein Infusion (Originating from the Solar Essence Side Branch)
Ability Form: The fire fish Spirit lets out a rousing Dragon roar, and its tail whips out a "Dragon Breath Fireline" of pure red-gold with Dragon scale phantoms, precisely striking an ally.
Ability Type: Single Target Burst Buff
Core Effects:
Dragon Wrath Awakening: The target ally immediately gains a "Dragon Wrath" state: significantly increasing the instantaneous burst power of their next offensive Soul Ability (based on fire fish spirit power scaling) and adding a strong "Mental Deterrence" (originating from Dragon Might).
Vein Blood Surge: The Solar Essence Dragon Essence within the Dragon Breath stimulates the target's vitality, causing their movement and attack speed to increase significantly over the next few seconds (similar to burning essence blood but without side effects), with red-gold Dragon patterns appearing on their skin.
Ember Protection: After the buff ends, the residual Dragon Essence forms a brief "Fire Scale Ember" layer on the target's body, providing a small amount of damage absorption or negating one low-level negative status effect.
Combat Logic: A precisely timed "catalyst" skill, seeking explosive gains at critical moments (such as when an attack system Spirit Master charges a finishing move or an agility-attack system Spirit Master engages). Like the Sun Moon Dragon Blood Tree injecting Solar Essence and Dragon Blood essence into its Companion Sub-Dragons.
Visuals: A condensed, scorching Dragon-shaped fireline is injected into a teammate, causing their Aura to surge instantly and Dragon patterns to faintly appear on their body.
Three-Ring Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Sun Moon Mystery · Dragon Blood Heaven-Stealing Transformation
Fusion Basis: The Ice Fish's "Profound Yin Dragon Silk" acts as a parasitic guide, and the fire fish's "Blazing Sun Dragon Vein Infusion" acts as the energy burst primer. The core of the Fusion is simulating the process of the Sun Moon Dragon Blood Tree devouring and transforming external energy to nourish itself.
Activation Form:
Profound Yin Root Erosion: The ice Spirit Master activates the Soul Ability, and thousands of Profound Yin Silks silently pierce into the strongest enemy, beginning to frantically Parasite and drain their spirit power and essence blood (at a speed far exceeding the single skill).
Dragon Vein Grafting: The fire Spirit Master activates their Soul Ability almost simultaneously, but instead of shooting the "Blazing Sun Dragon Vein" at a teammate, they shoot it at the enemy parasited by the Profound Yin Silks! The violent Solar Essence Dragon Essence is forcibly injected into the target, mixing with the massive energy stolen by the Profound Yin Silks.
