Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

The icicles were so dense that there was no room to hide; we could only fight them head-on.

"boom!"

Large swathes of flame rose up, and the icicles melted the moment they got close to the flames.

Mu Zixuan gritted his teeth and looked at Frost Wolf.

Frostwolf took two steps forward and opened its mouth to spit out streams of ice shards.

Frostwolf's ice spikes were thicker, sharper, and faster than those used by Mu Zixuan.

Ling Yi, who was behind the flames, sensed the attack and disappeared from the spot.

With the flames obscuring the view, no one saw how Ling Yi disappeared; they only saw her reappear, right in front of Mu Zixuan.

Mu Zixuan stared in disbelief at Ling Yi appearing in front of him. Before he could even defend himself, he was punched again by Ling Yi and sent flying into the barrier.

The Frostwolf attacked Ling Yi, but this time, Ling Yi vanished from his spot in full view of everyone and reappeared in front of Mu Zixuan.

"bang bang bang"

Mu Zixuan had just been knocked away and hadn't even had a chance to get up when Ling Yi's fist came flying at him, leaving him no way to avoid it and forcing him to take the hit.

"Awoo!" The frost wolf attacked, and Ling Yi grabbed Mu Zixuan from the ground and instantly left the spot.

"boom!"

The Frostwolf's power struck the barrier, and that section of the barrier shattered instantly.

Ling Yi glanced at the broken area with a deep look, then threw Mu Zixuan to the ground.

"Pfft, cough cough"

Mu Zixuan collapsed to the ground, vomiting blood continuously.

Before the Frost Wolf could launch its next attack, Ling Yi stepped on Mu Zixuan's neck.

"Click"

Without any hesitation or mercy, Ling Yi broke Mu Zixuan's neck.

Mu Zixuan fell to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth, his eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Zixuan!"

"Sir!"

Seeing Mu Zixuan lying motionless on the ground, Teacher Xu and the students from the Ice Academy instantly turned ugly, while the students from the Fire Academy and Water Academy were filled with disbelief!

No one expected that Ling Yi would actually kill Mu Zixuan by fighting two opponents at once!

"Frostwolf is indeed powerful, but Ling Yi can teleport. I've only heard of this technique before, and this is the first time I've seen it in person."

“She dodged every attack from the Frost Wolf because the Frost Wolf’s teleportation speed wasn’t as fast as hers, so it couldn’t touch her. Overall, it was still a one-on-one fight, but Mu Zixuan’s cultivation level was not as high as hers, so he lost.”

“Mu Zixuan is backed by the Ming Prince’s Mansion…” someone said. “If Ling Yi kills Mu Zixuan, the Ming Prince’s Mansion will not let her off the hook.”

"This..." The others didn't know how to respond. In a life-or-death battle, once a contract was signed, life and death depended on strength. This was the rule, and no one else could be blamed.

However, it is understandable for family members to seek revenge after their child dies in a life-or-death battle. But since the child died in a life-or-death battle, the family's revenge is not justified. But would the Prince Ming's Mansion care about this?

"We won the life-or-death battle, but the forces behind us lost." A student said, "The Prince Ming's Mansion will not let Ling Yi go."

Looking at the dead Mu Zixuan, Ling Yi felt no sense of satisfaction in seeking revenge.

My parents are not coming back.

"Awoo!" Just then, the Frostwolf's roar rang out again.

Ling Yi turned his head to look at Frost Wolf, only to see Frost Wolf fall down.

Mu Zixuan and Frost Wolf signed a death pact: if the master dies, the beast dies; if the beast dies, the master will not die. Now that Mu Zixuan is dead, Frost Wolf will die without Ling Yi lifting a finger.

After the life-or-death battle ended, the barrier surrounding the dueling arena dissipated. After Ling Yi came down from the final stage, Teacher Xu and the students from the Ice Academy went up to the dueling arena.

With his neck broken, Mu Zixuan was completely lifeless. As Teacher Xu looked at the tragically dead Mu Zixuan, her heart sank lower and lower.

Mu Zixuan is dead. The Prince Ming's Mansion will certainly not let Ling Yi off the hook, but it will not let him off the hook either.

Thinking of this, Teacher Xu looked at Ling Yi and launched an attack.

No one expected a teacher to suddenly launch an attack, especially when the audience was so close to each other on and off the stage.

"Ling Yi!"

Lin Chengtian's pupils constricted as he watched the attack flying towards Ling Yi, and he rushed towards Ling Yi at top speed.

It was too close. The attack was too close to Ling Yi. Not to mention Lin Chengtian, even the teachers couldn't react in time and could only watch helplessly.

"No!" As the force was about to fall, Lin Chengtian was overwhelmed by a wave of fear.

Just when everyone thought Ling Yi was doomed, he vanished like lightning. The next moment, a silver light flashed on the dueling platform, and as blood splattered, a head fell with a thud.

In an instant, the entire venue fell silent, and everyone stared in disbelief at what was happening on stage.

Teacher Xu was still standing, but his head was on the ground.

The incision in the neck was clean and precise, a single, decisive cut.

Ling Yi remained in the posture of holding a weapon and beheading someone, but no one could see the weapon in her hand.

Ling Yi withdrew his hand, and the red light in his eyes faded in an instant.

"Thank you," Ling Yitong said to Tianyan.

Tianyan's voice rang out: "You're welcome. I only helped you unseal a small portion of your strength."

Thinking back to that moment, Tian Yan's gentle voice lowered slightly: [01, once you've gathered all the Mountain and River Mirrors, besides devouring them, I will make an exception and unlock one layer of your strength.]

"That's so good?" Ling Yi didn't show it on her face, but her tone was relaxed when she spoke to Tian Yan: "Tian Yan, are you afraid?"

[There is no fear.] Tianyan denied: [It's not the power I bestowed upon you, but the power you yourself have sealed away.]

Before Ling Yi could speak again, Tian Yan said, "Now I'm going to reseal your strength. 01, go check your hands."

The abundant power receded like a tide, and only then did Ling Yi look at his hands.

Blood soaked through his sleeve on his left hand, and his right palm was covered in blood.

Ling Yi found it amusing: "Tian Yan, are you sure this body is compatible with me?"

"I used a knife and this happened?"

Tianyan said, "This body is indeed the most compatible with your soul. The reason it's like this is because the power and the blade that were just unsealed for you were too strong. Unless you increase your physical strength, it will remain the same."

"Alright then," Ling Yi replied resignedly, without saying anything more.

When Ling Yi stepped down from the dueling platform again, everyone's gaze towards him changed.

A level 4 spirit master actually beheaded an level 8 spirit master. That's a huge leap in level!

Shock, fear, and admiration—all kinds of gazes fell upon Ling Yi.

"Ling Yi." Lin Chengtian rushed to Ling Yi's side and saw that her hands were bleeding. He quickly took out a porcelain bottle and poured out some medicine: "This is a hemostatic pill. Take it to stop the bleeding."

Ling Yi didn't refuse and was about to reach out to take it when Lin Chengtian said, "You're injured, I'll feed you."

Ling Yi looked at Lin Chengtian without saying a word.

Lin Chengtian ultimately placed the pill in Ling Yi's hands.

As Ling Yi was about to leave after taking the pill, Teacher Mu approached with an old man: "Ling Yi, let the alchemist take a look at you."

Before Ling Yi could refuse, Teacher Mu said again, "You'll need bandaging when you get back anyway, so why not have the alchemist bandage you?"

Ling stopped and stretched out her hands.

The old man brought by Teacher Mu immediately took out items from his storage artifact and treated Ling Yi's injuries.
