"Boom—!!!"
Stelle's body, like a humanoid cannonball, smashed fiercely into that huge iceberg.
The hard ice shattered with a roar under the huge impact, countless ice fragments of various sizes splashed and flew, and dust mixed with ice mist permeated the air.
Kiana climbed up from a pile of ice shards, covered in dirt and dust, looking at the center of the impact with lingering fear.
She saw Stelle shake her head, stand up from the ice pile somewhat unsteadily, pat the ice shavings on her body, and mutter: "Tsk, the force is getting stronger again... It's fine, didn't fall apart."
Then, she turned her head, and her gaze met Kiana, who was looking at her foolishly.
Eyes met.
In Stelle's golden eyes, for the first time in this training space, another person was clearly reflected.
She was obviously stunned for a moment, her head seeming to tilt by 0.5 degrees.
The meaning in her eyes was obvious: Who is this? Why is there a third person?
Kiana saw the other party notice her. Although she didn't know her, out of politeness, she subconsciously raised her hand, squeezing a slightly stiff smile on her face: "Uh... hi? Are you okay? That hit just now was really harsh..."
However, Stelle's response caused the smile on her face to freeze instantly.
She saw Stelle's gaze suddenly shift from her face, focusing behind her, while at the same time emitting a short warning from her mouth: "Watch out!"
Kiana's heart twitched violently. Combat instinct made it so she didn't have time to think, her body reacting before her brain, and she turned her head abruptly—
Then, she saw a scene she would never forget in her life.
That White-haired Man had approached to a distance that was neither far nor near without her knowing when. He didn't even look at Stelle, who had just climbed up, but directly locked his gaze onto her, this unexpected variable.
His empty left hand faced the area where she was, and he made a virtual grasp.
There was no earth-shattering momentum, but the air around Kiana instantly dropped to an extreme cold, like absolute zero.
The next instant, a mini iceberg with a volume comparable to a small meteorite condensed out of thin air and smashed down towards her head!
That shadow instantly covered all of her vision.
"Wooooah—!!!"
Kiana was so scared that her hair almost stood on end, her mind went blank, leaving only the most primitive survival instinct.
She turned around, used all her strength, and ran for her life towards the side perpendicular to the direction the iceberg was falling!
What posture, what tactics, she couldn't care about any of it; it was purely running for her life!
On the other side, Stelle's reaction was completely different.
Facing this area-of-effect attack, she did not choose to run away.
Instead, she took a deep breath, as if to inhale all the remaining heat around her into her lungs.
The baseball bat in her hand instantly turned into a Flame Lance, and she fiercely stabbed it into the frost-covered ground beneath her feet!
"Bang!"
A dull, muffled sound, as if the earth fire had been triggered.
With Stelle's footing as the center, blazing and solid red flames erupted and rose in a ring, like loyal guards, rapidly spinning around her body, forming a semi-circular shield.
That mini iceberg pressed down with destructive force, but the closer it got to Stelle's flame shield, the more its forward speed was hindered by an invisible force.
The moment the surface of the iceberg touched the high temperature, it made a "hissing" loud noise, and the solid ice melted rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into rolling white mist and rushing in all directions.
The forces of ice and fire fiercely confronted each other at close range.
Just as the main body of the iceberg was melted by the flames by nearly half, and its momentum greatly reduced, a flash of brilliance appeared in Stelle's eyes.
She exerted force under her feet, her body slightly twisted, and with one hand, she gripped the Flame Lance stuck in the ground and flicked it upwards—
"Hah!"
Stelle gave a low shout, exerting force from her waist and abdomen, and in an extremely short distance, she delivered a precise and powerful front kick, the tip of her foot barely hitting the end of the Flame Lance.
"Shoo—Boom!!!"
