CHAPTER 22: CHAPTER 22: OVERWHELMING ICE ATTRIBUTE

"What a great opportunity!"

Seeing Gu Chenfeng freeze Cyan Spirit, Yang Shan and a few others immediately became excited.

In contrast, many female disciples of Celestial Sound Valley wore expressions of disbelief and tension on their pretty faces.

Cyan Spirit’s feet were frozen by the powerful Ice Attribute Power, while Gu Chenfeng was charging forward at an astonishing speed. If luck was on his side, he might achieve victory with a single move.

Covering a distance of several dozen meters in the blink of an eye, Gu Chenfeng thrust his Spirit Sword towards Cyan Spirit like lightning.

"A classic pre-emptive strike," Ling Qiushui chuckled lightly, "But Cyan Spirit has the advantage in realm. She won’t be defeated so easily; real strength is needed to win."

The Grand Elder couldn’t help but exclaim, "Truly worthy of being the top genius of the Ancient Divine Sect, his Ice Attribute Spiritual Power is extraordinary, even more potent than Qiushui’s."

The Valley Master of Celestial Sound Valley added, "And not just that, his control over the Ice Attribute Spiritual Power is almost perfect, even mighty figures at the Middle Stage of Fasting or even at the Golden Core Stage might not achieve this level."

An elder nodded and smiled, "With the strength of the Early Stage of Fasting during the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, this in itself is already remarkable, let alone possessing such powerful Ice Attribute Spiritual Power; truly a genius among geniuses."

The Valley Master and the elders held Gu Chenfeng in high regard.

"Spiritual Power Protection!" Without panic, Cyan Spirit quickly concentrated a protective energy shield.

The powerful force shattered the ice that trapped her feet.

"Clang!"

Gu Chenfeng’s sword strike hit the energy shield with a strong impact, yet it did not budge the shield at all.

This showed the sheer strength of Cyan Spirit.

"It wasn’t going to be that easy," Gu Chenfeng thought silently, having anticipated that victory wouldn’t come easily.

After all, Cyan Spirit was a prodigy among the younger generation of Celestial Sound Valley, not someone to be underestimated.

"To exert the power of the Early Stage of Fasting at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, this person is indeed extraordinary and cannot be underestimated," thought Cyan Spirit seriously, her expression turning a bit solemn.

If Cyan Spirit’s cultivation wasn’t greater than Gu Chenfeng’s, she would have already lost the moment her feet were frozen.

Cyan Spirit suddenly stomped the ground, unleashing a fierce force, and as the energy shield dissipated, she directly pushed Gu Chenfeng back over ten meters.

"So strong!" Gu Chenfeng slightly furrowed his eyebrows.

"His Ice Attribute is too domineering, holding the advantage, I must finish this quickly!" Cyan Spirit’s beautiful eyes flashed with spiritual power, before she stepped on the ground, wielding the Spirit Sword with extreme force like a tiger descending a mountain.

The full spiritual power of the Middle Stage of Fasting was also unleashed.

To defeat Gu Chenfeng, she had to give it her all.

"Is she going all out? Just perfect to test my current strength," Gu Chenfeng’s lips slightly curled up, unwilling to show weakness, he shot out with extreme force, driving the Ice Attribute Spiritual Power within him to the maximum.

Feeling the sudden surge in Gu Chenfeng’s strength, Cyan Spirit thought quietly, "He really was holding back his strength!"

"Clang!"

In the blink of an eye, the two clashed fiercely with their swords, the wave of energy from the collision swept across the training ground.

With just one direct clash, Cyan Spirit’s expression instantly changed, incredulously exclaiming, "How is this possible? The Ice Attribute Spiritual Power actually blocked my attack."

Not only that, at the moment of the fierce impact, the domineering Ice Attribute Power even spread up to Cyan Spirit’s arm through the Spirit Sword.

All the disciples watching were stunned.

"Senior Sister Cyan Spirit’s full-strength attack was actually blocked by him!"

"How is this possible? How can someone at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment be so strong?"

"His... his spiritual power aura is the same as Senior Sister Cyan Spirit’s. He truly possesses the strength of the Middle Stage of Fasting!"

The disciples of Celestial Sound Valley exclaimed in shock.

No one dared believe that Gu Chenfeng at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment could indeed possess the formidable strength to contend with the Middle Stage of Fasting.

It was the first time they had seen such a powerful Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.

The strength Gu Chenfeng demonstrated had overturned their understanding of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, yet possessing the strength of the Middle Stage of Fasting? If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe it," Ling Qiushui seemed calm, but inside was a stormy wave.

Ling Qiushui had never seen such strong Foundation Establishment either.

More importantly, this was not Gu Chenfeng’s Mysterious Power, just his Ice Attribute Spiritual Power alone.

Even though the Valley Master and the elders of Celestial Sound Valley already knew Gu Chenfeng’s strength was not weak, witnessing it firsthand, they were still shocked on the spot.

"Clang clang clang!"

On the training ground, Gu Chenfeng and Cyan Spirit engaged in an intense battle, their Spirit Swords clashing repeatedly, with energy waves rolling continuously.

The two contended evenly, Gu Chenfeng, even at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, still managed to be on equal footing with Cyan Spirit.

After battling intensely for several minutes, Cyan Spirit, having exerted all her strength, could not gain any advantage. On the contrary, she was being assaulted by the chilling cold, freezing her to the bone.

"Junior Brother still seems to not have used his Mysterious Power, can he contend with the Middle Stage of Fasting just like this?" Yang Shan and Qian Yue were dumbfounded.

At this moment, the numerous disciples of Celestial Sound Valley were also dumbstruck, shocked to the extreme.

The Valley Master and the elders, as well as Ling Qiushui and others, were equally shocked.

Could the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment really be this powerful?

What kind of powerful Ice Attribute Spiritual Power did Gu Chenfeng possess to have such formidable strength?

"Junior Brother Gu, your strength is stronger than I imagined, I am quite shocked," Cyan Spirit slightly furrowed her brows and said, as strong spiritual power was injected into the Spirit Sword.

Gaining no advantage in close combat, Cyan Spirit must perform a Sword Technique to defeat Gu Chenfeng.

Gu Chenfeng chuckled softly, "Senior Sister Cyan Spirit is very strong too."

Cyan Spirit stepped on the ground, her graceful figure soaring into the sky as a fierce Sword Qi swept across.

"Junior Brother Gu, though this strike may be unfair to you, I must defeat you!" Cyan Spirit declared as a massive azure formation gathered behind her.

At this moment.

Cyan Spirit’s aura rapidly climbed, her spiritual power surged to the extreme.

This was Cyan Spirit’s most powerful strike.

"Senior Sister Cyan Spirit, please feel free to strike; I will also give my all," Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly, showing no fear, instead filled with high battle spirit.

"Spiritual Technique! Zither Sound Slash!" Cyan Spirit shouted coldly, the Spirit Sword bursting with dazzling azure light, exuding extremely powerful energy.

As the shout fell, Cyan Spirit swung down her sword, a cyan crescent slash viciously cleaving towards Gu Chenfeng.

"Let me see just how powerful my Ice Attribute Spiritual Power can be," Gu Chenfeng murmured, as the domineering Ice Attribute Spiritual Power surged out.

Everywhere the Ice Attribute Spiritual Power passed became a realm of ice and snow.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone in Celestial Sound Valley, the descending crescent slash was frozen at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What?" Cyan Spirit was taken aback, her eyes widening to the fullest.

The Valley Master and the elders were stunned.

"Such terrifying Ice Attribute Spiritual Power, I clearly felt that my own Ice Attribute was suppressed," Ling Qiushui exclaimed in awe, staring at Gu Chenfeng.

Gu Chenfeng did not perform any Sword Technique, merely relying on his Ice Attribute Spiritual Power, he easily froze the crescent slash.
