Chapter 399: Defeated, Shui Bing'er's Breakthrough!
However, the plot holes from the novel might have been corrected by the world's will in this real world of Douluo Continent.
In the original novel, Shui Bing'er's martial soul was the Ice Phoenix, but it didn't show the grandeur that the name suggested.
So, in this real world of Douluo Continent, Shui Bing'er's martial soul transformed from Ice Phoenix to the Condensation Water Phoenix martial soul.
Since the Condensation Water Phoenix martial soul is significantly weaker than the Ice Phoenix, this explains why Shui Bing'er chose to become a control-type Soul Master rather than a strong attack-type Soul Master.
Moreover, the fusion skill of Condensation Water Phoenix with the Snow Dance's Snowflake martial soul, resulting in the Ice Snow Falling Phoenix, is much more plausible than if it was the Ice Phoenix martial soul fused with the Snowflake martial soul to perform the same technique.
Next to the campfire, the deep red flames burned quietly.
Under the dazzling light released by the Pure World White Lotus martial soul summoned by Lin Yu, Shui Bing'er activated her third soul skill: Resist Ice Ring.
An ice-blue ring instantly expanded from Shui Bing'er, rapidly spreading outward and sending dozens of Frostbite Winter Wolves flying.
"Howl!"
For a moment, a frantic howl echoed as the wolves were thrown back.
After using her third soul skill: Resist Ice Ring to knock the wolves back, Shui Bing'er seized the opportunity and swiftly used her Swift Water Movement technique.
In a flash, she became a blur, darting across the thick snow, heading straight for the largest and most powerful Frostbite Winter Wolf King in the pack.
During the charge, Shui Bing'er, in her martial soul possession state, activated the Bone Dragon Claw technique.
Her hands, covered in a thin layer of ice-blue scales, twisted with flowing Qi, and her sharp claws glowed with a chilling cold light.
"Swish!"
In the next moment, Shui Bing'er reached the Frostbite Winter Wolf King and leapt up, swiping her claws across its body. Deep scratch marks appeared, and blood spurted out immediately.
The Frostbite Winter Wolf King, wounded by Shui Bing'er's Bone Dragon Claw, let out a sharp, angry roar and released a blast of frost breath toward Shui Bing'er.
However, just as the Frostbite Winter Wolf King was about to counterattack in a furious rage, Shui Bing'er furrowed her brow and activated her first soul skill: Ice Seal, instantly releasing a burst of ice light that sealed the Frostbite Winter Wolf King completely, interrupting its frost breath.
Shui Bing'er then activated the Fierce Leg Absolute technique, delivering a devastating whip kick to the ice that encased the Frostbite Winter Wolf King.
The kick, fueled with wild Qi, shattered the ice around the wolf king with a powerful gust of wind, and the wolf was sent flying with its bones shattered. With a pitiful cry, it crashed into a large tree and fell to the ground.
Once a mighty leader, the wolf king was now bloodied and unable to move. Snow from the tree it crashed into littered its fur, making it look pitiful.
However, seeing that the wolf king wasn't dead, the rest of the pack didn't back down. Instead, they were enraged and roared, rushing towards Shui Bing'er.
But unfortunately for them, while the Frostbite Winter Wolf pack may have seemed stronger than the king, with dozens of hundred-year-old wolves, Shui Bing'er wasn't afraid.
She had practiced the Plum Blossom Stride technique, which was particularly effective in small-scale maneuvers during group combat. Combined with her control-type soul skills, like her first and third skills, she was able to minimize mistakes in battle.
Thus, when attacked by the Frostbite Winter Wolves, Shui Bing'er deftly used her Plum Blossom Stride, dodging the wolves' attacks while employing her control skills to ensure a stable environment for her offensive moves.
In the chaos of the wolves' attack, Shui Bing'er moved gracefully, leaving afterimages as she dodged. Meanwhile, the ice-blue glow of her skills froze one wolf after another.
Lin Yu watched closely and could see that Shui Bing'er's combat skills were maturing. Whether it was her mastery of Plum Blossom Stride or her alternating use of Bone Dragon Claw and Fierce Leg Absolute, her progress was evident in every wolf that yelped and flew into the snow-covered trees, shaking off snow with their impact.
As Shui Bing'er's skills became more refined, the wolves fell faster and faster.
The injured Frostbite Winter Wolf King, seeing that Shui Bing'er was like an immovable object, and knowing that Lin Yu and Shui Yue'er were still present, became desperate.
With a howl, it turned and fled into the dark pine forest.
Hearing the wolf king's retreating howl, the remaining Frostbite Winter Wolves, still alive and capable of movement, immediately turned and followed the king, leaving behind the corpses of their pack.
After watching the wolves retreat, Shui Bing'er stood still, taking a deep breath before closing her eyes.
At that moment, Lin Yu could sense an intense aura rising from Shui Bing'er, growing stronger and stronger until it seemed to break through a threshold, surging suddenly.
"Did she break through?"
Lin Yu's eyes flashed as he saw Shui Bing'er standing among the fallen wolves, a smile spreading across his face.
After Shui Bing'er successfully broke through, Lin Yu walked over with a smile, clapping his hands in congratulations.
"Congratulations, Bing'er, you've finally broken through to the Soul Emperor level!"
In the original novel, when the Continental Soul Master Academy Elite Exchange Competition began, Shui Bing'er's cultivation was around the same level as Yu Tianheng's.
Looking at the timeline, Shui Bing'er and Yu Tianheng's cultivation levels should be similar now.
However, with the aid of pills and the financial resources of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Tianheng had already broken through to Soul Emperor level two years ago. Shui Bing'er, on the other hand, was a little behind.
But after a month of traveling to the Extreme North and learning the Water Element Changsheng Sutra Lin Yu taught her, Shui Bing'er had finally reached the breakthrough today!
