his, called out, "Guan Po, let’s fight!" Her provocative voice echoed around the arena. Guan Po turned to face her with a look of fury.

    "Cloud Journey Sect outer disciples’ competition, first match of the top six: Ye Xue versus Guan Po, begin!" the referee announced.

    "Ice King, no matter how famous you are, it’s useless against me!" Guan Po said with anger, gripping his long halberd tightly. Earth-yellow spiritual energy surrounded the halberd, making its aura even heavier.

    "Earth Halberd Slash."

    Guan Po repeatedly swiped the halberd in front of him, sending out waves of earth-yellow blades toward Ye Xue. "Tricks!" Ye Xue’s translucent jade-like hands danced as light blue spiritual energy appeared on them, flickering continuously.

    "Frozen Field."

    Instantly, a burst of cold air erupted from the stage, layers of ice forming on the ground. The earth-yellow blades turned into ice sculptures and fell to the ground. Guan Po furiously swung his halberd, shattering the ice.

    "Flowing Halberd Chain Slash."

    The sound of ice shattering filled the air, with small bits of ice scattering everywhere. The ice kept forming, making Guan Po more and more frustrated. The earth-yellow spiritual energy surged, and a stone pillar rose from the ground, lifting him high.

    The stone pillar emitted a strong oppressive force that shattered the ice approaching it, preventing even Guan Po’s body from being encased in ice.

    "Ice King, what other tricks do you have? Bring them all out, or you’ll have no chance!" Guan Po provocatively pointed his halberd at Ye Xue.

    "Hee hee," Ye Xue chuckled as if hearing the funniest joke in the world.

    "You’re courting death!" Earth-yellow spiritual energy surged around Guan Po's feet. A stone protruded from the pillar, propelling him toward Ye Xue. Guan Po’s halberd slashed at her, the heavy force causing onlookers’ hearts to race.

    "Earth’s Wrath Slash."

    "Sister Ye Xue, be careful!" the little girl below shouted, her hands producing water droplets in her panic.

    Light blue spiritual energy danced around Ye Xue’s hands, making the surrounding temperature drop, sending a chill through the audience.

    "Ice Crystal Spear."

    Ye Xue directed an ice spear at the flying Guan Po. He charged straight at it, determined to break the spear. "A little ice spear can’t stop my Earth’s Wrath Slash?" Guan Po scoffed. The top of his halberd gathered earth-yellow spiritual energy, radiating heavy force.

    Meanwhile, Ye Xue’s hand continued to form seals, creating blue crystals around the spear, converging in its tip.

    "So arrogant. It’s time to end this," Ye Xue said, sending the final seal into the spear, which blossomed into a lotus flower.

    Seeing this, Guan Po panicked.
